Icarus's Links
Akilia has yet to be privileged enough to meet the Sky Thief, but has heard enough tales of him to believe he could be a good ally, if she could only find a way to get in contact with him. She has tried to use Hera to get in contact with him, as the disgraced queen has supposedly met Icarus, but Hera refuses to play the middleman, or even suggest Icarus see about contacting Akilia. She claims they have only spoken a few times and have not spoken recently, but Akilia is still frustrated that Hera won't allow her to make the potential alliance. In spite of her hopes to meet with Icarus, Akilia also cannot help but feel secretly relieved that she has been unable to make contact with the half breed. The stories and legends she heard have made him sound menacing, if not maniacal, and though they both are driven towards their goals, Akilia also fears that Icarus could prove to do more harm than good for her.
The Cub Stealer. Cuore has yet to meet the feline of legend, but he has heard plenty about him. On the one hand, Cuore is very curious about him, and almost eager to meet him. What could drive someone to act the way he does? It doesn't help that there are so many contradicting accounts on him. There isn't even one agreed upon name to call him, especially since no one knows the Sky Thief's true name. No one is even sure what he looks like, just that he exists and is dark in color. All of the stories threaten to drive Cuore mad with curiosity when they are brought up (Mzatamo is tired of hearing his conspiracy theories on the matter). However, Cuore has a more personal vendetta with the crook; after Hadithi vanished, stolen away in the night, Cuore has only found one thing he could lay the blame on: the Cub Thief. But why? And, of all cubs, why Hadithi? Cuore is determined to find her one day, or at least to find out what happened to her, and right now, the Night Lion is his only clue.
