Lunora snarled at him. her fox ears twitching some as they lay flat against her crimson hair. "I want nothing to do with history." she said, making a sudden lunge at him, throwing a punch at his face. "I am nothing to be revered!"
Luke stopped to catch his breath near Anya and Jethrow. He whined a bit to Anya, wanting his little fairy friend back. The scene was almost tranquil, aside from Lunora's temper and Luke suddenly being tackled by a bloody and partially descaled Fester.

"I will have my revenge."  Demetri was surprised by the sudden lunge, and rubbed his nose after she'd punched him. Pulling his hand back a bit, he realized he was bleeding and looked down. "You know, I particularly liked this shirt," he said in a harsh, angry tone. He reached out, clenching his fingers around her throat and glaring at her angrily. "You know sweetheart, you're starting to get on my nerves; pretty women are to be seen and not heard." He lifted her up, holding her about half a foot above the ground and glaring up at her face in challenge. If everything were as it seemed, life would be a dream.  Anya ignored Luke's whining, and only acknowledged him when she heard the snarling of Fester. "His powers are ice-based; your fire will be deflected," she called in warning to the dragon, before turning to face her old teacher. "Jethrow, you say I don't know both sides of the story, do you? I do know that you have imprisoned your brother. Your own flesh and blood. Did you try to get both sides of his story, or did you just see evil?" when the wizard gave no response, she went on. "I apologize, Jethrow, but I can't let this continue. You have to make a choice now." There was a brief glint in the air, and suddenly, the cage had parted, and Anya's arm had shot through, holding a sharp, evil-looking dagger. There is much to learn in this world. To learn it, you must realize you know nothing.  Jethrow coughed, feeling blood collecting in his throat. He looked down at the dagger, and caught sight of the edges of the wound in his stomach. Blood began to drop slowly, and he looked at the person before him. "What have you done, Anya?" he aid, blood dribbling on the edge of his mouth as he did so. He knew exactly why she had been ordered to do this; he wasn't truly in this realm, and he would have to make a choice. Either he brought his body into the realm and died there, giving Luke, Lunora, and Searan the opportunity to bring back Anya. Or he forced all of them to leave so he could be treated, leaving Anya in Demetri's hands.

Lunora snarled, clawing viciously at Demtri's hand. "I will speak as I please! I will not be shackled by commands by an enemy and a wimp!" she snarled, bearing her fangs more.
The dragon and wolf continued their quarrel, soon Luke bit into Fester's exposed flesh, the dragon screeching in pain. Suddenly ice began to block around the dragon's writhing form.

"I will have my revenge." Demetri raised his eyebrows, smirking at the fox's struggles. He lifted her up higher so she was a full foot in the air, and tilted his head at her. "I'm curious; how important is your brother to you? You don't seem too occupied with his fight with my dragon. Instead, you'd rather stand here and call me a wimp and an enemy. If I were a wimp, why would I have opened an opportunity for me to fight with all of you? And I don't have to be an enemy, as I said. I can be your teacher; I can write your name across the very fabric of time, where you will always be remembered." If everything were as it seemed, life would be a dream. Anya showed no emotion as she pulled her hand away, as well as the dagger she held. As soon as the blade was free, it vanished, and she watched with cold eyes as the old wizard bled. She heard the screech of pain from Fester, and as much as she hated to admit it, the dragon needed to live past this battle. She quickly lifted her wings, flying over to the area of the fight, and she held her hands out, creating large balls of warm energy before she blasted them at the developing ice. Since they weren't flames, they weren't extinguished by the ice as it melted, and when they reached the dragon, they changed color from bright orange to a soothing blue, melting themselves into the creature's body and beginning a slow healing process of his wounds. There is much to learn in this world. To learn it, you must realize you know nothing. As his previous student flew away, Jethrow fell to the ground, clutching his open wound. He looked out at Luke and Lunora, and their battles. There was a sudden support against his side, and he looked down, glad to see that Searan had reappeared. Wizard, they will need you to reverse the control that Anya has been placed under. You must leave this realm with us if Anya is to survive. They will not begrudge you that, the creature said soothingly, and Jethrow shook his head. "If we do not take her now... She will be... Lost," he said, struggling to get the words out.

"I... I don't want to be remembered!" Lunora snarled and gripped his arm, swinging a bit and sending a foot right into the side of his face. Just because he had her neck doesn't mean she still couldn't hurt him.
Luke was taken aback as Fester was freed and healing. The dragon retaliated and started to cut and slice into the wolf, loving the growing pain the wolf was feeling, licking the blood off his golden claws.

"I will have my revenge." Demetri let go of the girl, staggering back and staring at her curiously. "You don't want to be remembered? You don't want people to tell stories about you? So you just want to die down in history, never to be spoken about again?" He stood, rubbing his jaw where her kick had landed and stared down at her, his smirk gone and replaced by a harsh glare. Physical fighting was so uncouth; it led to so much blood. If everything were as it seemed, life would be a dream. "Sorry, Luke," Anya said quietly, and her eyes glowed a brighter red as she lifted her arms. The block the two stood on began shaking, and huge, flame covered black serpents began to wind themselves around the wolf demon, snapping and hissing at him as they did so. Anya moved one hand, and a few snakes dragged the dragon off of the wolf. The fairy flew down to the creatures side, putting her palms on one of his more severe wounds and concentrated on healing it. "You don't just keep fighting when you're still hurt you idiot," she muttered in frustration; what little headway her blasts of healing power had made had been tossed away because he'd continued fighting Luke. There is much to learn in this world. To learn it, you must realize you know nothing. Jethrow was still trying to keep Searan from justifying a reason for the wizard to take the other three from the realm. Wizard, think of them. They will mourn your loss more than the loss of their first of many opportunities to take Anya.Think sense! Please! Jethrow shook his head, coughing again.

Lunora got to her feet, back turned to Demetri. "After what I've done, it would be for the best." she muttered, clenching her fists. "And you have no right to try and offer me these petty things."
Luke tried to fight the snakes, snapping back at them. He clawed at them, trying to keep his strength up.
Fester hissed a slight apology, letting Anya handle his wounds.

"I will have my revenge." Demetri raised his hands as if in defeat. "Fine then, you don't want an eternal name in history. I suppose you'll have to settle with destruction; though it'll be a shame to see that pretty face cold and lifeless," he said, and the area was suddenly engulfed in bright, orange flames. Demetri, of course, was in his own pocket that continued to be untouched. However, he could not see the demon. He had, truthfully, no idea whether she was able to keep herself untouched; she had shown that she had a control over fire. If everything were as it seemed, life would be a dream. Anya kept her face towards Fester's wounds, concentrating on healing him. If she looked over and saw the snakes wrestling with her old friend, she'd have to call them off, and that would put her a step back rather than one forward. "Your scales should start coming back in a day or so; but be more careful next time moron," she muttered, taking a step back but still not looking away from the dragon's injured body. The crimson had died from her eyes, and her fairy blood was starting to rise up against the demon side again, but she couldn't let the fairy blood win if she wanted to be trained by Demetri.

Lunora did not flinch as fire sprung up everywhere. She simply waved her hand, the fire suddenly being blown from her person, making her own small pocket of fire free land. "I may have done things I should be destroyed for, but I will not leave my brother to suffer with what I've done alone for the rest of his life."
Luke's energy was starting to give out as he fought the snakes. He didn't know how much more he could take.

"I will have my revenge." Demetri raised his eyebrows and shrugged. "I'm pretty sure Anya has taken care of his suffering for now," he said bluntly, gesturing to where the wolf was being wrangled by snakes. She was able to learn that attack from having experienced it once herself. Impressive, and quite good to know. He dispelled what remained of the fire, since it was obviously useless against this demon. If everything were as it seemed, life would be a dream. Anya could feel, through the snakes, that Luke was weakening. It would take two words from her, and he'd be dead. Could she kill him? After all, it's a fight. Usually this ends with death; what's going to happen if I don't kill him? He'll continue to fight. With her conscience screaming at her to let him go, she finally waved her hand back, the snakes being released. Quickly, she put her hand to the side of the dragon, watching as he fell asleep. She dashed to the wolf demon's side and knelt down, putting her hand on his shoulder and beginning a patch up. "Act like you're in pain," she hissed.

Lunora snuffed. "What I speak of is far beyond your comprehension. What I have done to my brother far exceeds a petty flesh wound."
Luke heard Anya and, since he was a good actor, began to do so. He was quite the convincing act, making it look like Anya was stealing all his energy.

There is much to learn in this world. To learn it, you must realize you know nothing. Jethrow sighed, and nodded at Searan. He lifted his staff so the point sat on the ground, and put his palm to the ground as well. A silvery light began to surround he, Luke, Lunora, and Searan, and he concentrated his magic to keep it going. We're leaving now. If you can grab Anya, then she will come with us, he thought, using Searan's powers to inform Luke and Lunora of what was going on.

Lunora listened to Jethrow and snuffed again. "Hmph. Pity..."
Luke heard Jethrow and changed into his human form, having blue marks like Lunora, and two wolf tails. He grabbed Anya into a tight embrace, hoping she wouldn't pry loose. 'Jethrow! Now, please!' he thought, hoping Jethrow heard his thoughts.

There is much to learn in this world. To learn it, you must realize you know nothing. Wizard, the Wolf has Anya. We must leave quickly, Searan informed Jethrow, who nodded and increased his magic flow, despite the shooting pain he felt. The silver light increased, and flashed, and the five were engulfed in blackness for a brief moment, before Jethrow's study swirled around them. The maids rushed forward, catching Jethrow as he fell unconscious, while Searan was quick to shut the door. Anya could not escape until they managed to get her out of Demetri's control. If everything were as it seemed, life would be a dream. Anya was caught off guard as Luke's form changed, and she struggled to get away from him. The blackness that came suddenly reminded her of when she'd been pulled into Demetri's dimension, and her struggles continued. If she didn't get away, she'd be dragged back to the castle with Jethrow, and her training would be put on a halt. Not that it had really started yet. She recognized Jethrow's study, and she realized she had no backup plan to getting back to the dimension. "Let go!" she demanded of the wolf demon.

Even as they all returned to Jethrow's study, Luke still held Anya firmly in his arms. He didn't want to use harsh language, but his nerves were a bit low.
Lunora woke and looked to see Anya in Luke's arms. The fox took the fairy from Luke and into her own arms, having a much better physical endurance to hold the little demon. "Oh shut your trap!"
