"I honeslty don't know, I've never met anyone down here named Din. Though if he is a possessor and going by what the name implies and he...showed of his skills, then I can see how that may be unplesant. Or if he brought trouble with him." But looking through with Catawa...why did it always see when you needed numbers they weren't avaliable.
Piper gave a nod and lightly crossed her arms, one hand abscentmindedly playing with her collar where it was on her arm. "If worse comes to worse you can always ear it around you neck I suppose. May not keep it's person in place, but at least it will keep the stone handy."
His own feet stumbled under the shifting of the ground, radius effects and what not catching him and in counter, one end of his pole arm was shoved into the ground and he more or less pulled himself back to his feet, bracing for a moment before he could get his footing, a nice little bounce of lightness in his steps. His own knowing of levitation weren't as skilled as the others, he barely knew how to do it really. This only very light but controlled steps.
His attention snapped however to Jarlaxel who was using momentum and levitation at his most close friends. A look and through will, long ago having taken out the need to use words he held up a hand at Jarlaxle, summoning up that magic born wind element as a buffer. He'd de damned now if he was going to be used. Though it was easy to see that his breathing was already hard from his other bouts of avoidance.
Of course the second that first bout of magic was off another followed in his place, a good dose of crackling eletricity. Far too dangerous to get in close or let him get close and Sevilin was already down in his speed and reactions. Lot of blood loss would do that to you.

Onyx plopped himself down across from Omega. this was getting interesting now wasn't it. and Omega it seemed had an enjoyment of pain.
"How about an alternate place? for example, if things were set into motion to rebirth the surface, what then? Or...what about the simpiler idea of leaving this plane of existance for another?"

"I see." She sniffed around, looking through the labs, until she came across one that seemed relativly intackt. All of those wonderful instrunetnts associated with surgical practice or gene manipulate lay scattered about, a body was on the floor, leaning against a wall in the corner. Looked like it had been casually thrown there. Catawa olny recognized her freind from his clothing. his skin looked almost as dark as a drows, but this had a disctinct metalic sheen to it. Catawa bent down, poking at Din's shoulder.
"Din? Hello?"
Meilikki shrugged. "I can't bore a hole through it to keep it on me person. It has to stay this exact shape, or it will no longer function properly." She held up up between them. "I will just have to deal with it. When it changes, maybe t won't be so...rebelious on my."
Omega just raised an eyebrow. "Don't care." With a shrugged, she leaned against the table, training at hber boudice. "I have much more interesting things in mind than the existance or migration of some silly planer mass."

"And what interest would that be, Omega? hmm? finding Alpha?"
Idly picking at his teeth with a claw, drumming the others on the table. He was wary of her...but she seemed rather..self absorbed. make her happier than daddy, and she'd probably turn on him.
"And I wouldn't think you'd just let me follow you to your lair without some reason for doing so. since you seem to think you an brush me aside with relative ease."

Zahara was overjoyed when that fireball hit him though that had taken a lot out of here to summon up that much magic. She was so tired and her own levitation was disrupted shoving her through the air and slamming her into the ground. She lay there for a moment, recovering, then pushed herself to her knees and glanced at Sevilin. She had to recover. But as much as she'd like to think they were going to win, it didn't look good. But she'd fight to the end. The innate magic she claimed was hopefully going to be their saving grace. She looked at Jarlaxle for a moment and then had one final idea. Glancing at the sparks Sevilin was creating she made a decision, lightening mixed with water...hmm, if they could force Jarlaxle into a water source, that lightning would hurt and badly. But where were they going to find one...then it hit her, theyd din't have to. Overjoyed with her solution even knowing the amount of strain it would put on her she reached for a final burst of energy she prayed the earthquake had weakened the ground enough and sent a hurtling fireball towards it. At the last possible moment she froze it and allowed it to slam into the ground. sure enough a huge rumble sounded and then it dropped causing a drop about ten feet deep. The ice ball shattering at the force of the impact dropping immediately into the deep pit. On her knees, the strain could be clearly seen on her face and she knew this would be her last chance. Calling on Eili's power one last time she called for water, a great amount of it to fill the pit and she felt the Goddess' blessing even while water began to pour into the pit. She screamed from the force of the power racing through her, anymore nad it would surely tear her to pieces. Eventually though the power was gone and Zahara was left, she swayed slightly for a moment on her knees and then fell back, the absence of absolute power too much for her already strained body to take, her mind shoving her into the state of reverie whether she wanted to go or not.

Kieran walked around catiously, trying not to step on anything in the room....after all who knew what that could potientially lead to after all. But Kieran titled his head at him...his skin said drow, almost anyway, but clearly the young looking man was not a drow. Facial features and what not being elvish, quite so. "Perhaps it is best if we just grab him and go." Yes, Kieran was a bit antsy.
Piper scratched at her hair. "Right, there is that point. I guess I would be ignorant of that." But a little laugh. "Yes things change." Piper let herself sober a little before continuing. "Should I be saying my goodbyes to you now then, in case I happen to miss your departure for whatever reason?"

Catawa placed a paw tip on Din's face, fowning when she didn't get a reaction. Usually, touching Din's skin meant fusing with his unstable body, or...him 'possessing' ther person he touched. Catawa figure whatever had coloured his skin had prevented him from doing this. She nodded. "Yeah. Lets get out of here." She put one shoulder underneath Din's and picked him up. "I should be able to carry him by myself." She headed for the door, walking as fast as she could without dragging Din too much.
"It would be a good idea. I know when i have to leave, and I won't be able to hang around an wait." She smiled. "Don't you worry though. I'll be seeing you ore often, I would think. I won't be far away."
She leaned further over the table, her mouth near his ear. She laughed softly. "You're a smart boy. You figure it out." Another little chuckle. "Maybe I can, maybe can not. Why don't we find out?"

Malik was just watching and rather enjoying it. idly resting the glowing red blade on his shoulder. this was exciting. was the trick going to work? how riveting. Oh yes, Zahara had it bad for Sevilin. She'd nearly destroyed herself to summon that much force through her frame. and at present, was out cold. that left Sevilin agasint Jaraxle.
Onyx's ear perked forward. and that got a shimmer of red glow to his eye..before he went across the table, claws splayed, fangs bared andwith every appearance of tearing Omega to shreds. This was going to be a fun game, wasn't it. a hunt, yet not a hunt. if he won..hey he coudl do whatever he wanted. if not..he'd cross that bridge when he got to it.

Kieran noted her reaction and gathered that touching this Din's skin was supposed to do something, but seeing as it hadn't then perhaps that could be a good or bad thing. "Are you sure?" His chivalrus side winning out there, even if he was down an arm. Though truth be told, Catawa was indeed more capable than Kieran right now so the elf merely followed back in casual fashion, though at least he knew the way back out this time.
"Well, I'm not sure where honoursfield is exactly but I'm sure one look at a map will indeed tell me how close you are." And yes she intended to go see Meilikki when her own time allowed, and hopefully the oracle would have some free time for the elf as well. She took Meilkki's hands in her own once more. "Then I shall call this our farewell, but not our goodbye. Lissenen ar' maska'lalaith tenna' lye omentuva." A squeeze to Meilikki's hand and then a hug before Piper stood, smiling at the oracle. "Sweet water and light laughter till next we me, my friend."

"Positive. But...thank you." Perhaps some of the only emotion she'd actually shown since anybody had met her. Din stirred in her arms a bit, lifting his head slightly.
"Who are you?" Barely a whisper.
"An old friend." But din had already dropped his head, passed out or too weak, Catawa wasn't sure. They made it out in record time, getting the masks on. Catawa slapping a hand over Din's mouth and hoping for the best. They weren't really expecting to bring soemone back with them, after all.
Meilikki smiled. "What a wonderful farewell." She hugged back as tightly as she could, a little stronger than she used to be. "Safe site, dear."
A single finger whipped out, the nail pressing into Onyx's nose again. He stopped as is slamming agaisnt a pane of glass. "Ah, ah, ah." She teased. "You're going to have to do better than that." She stood and took a few steps away, lifting up herlong hair so he could get a could look at her back. She teased, unzipping the back of her boudice.

Onyx snarled lightly, and rubbed his nose. his hand curled up, and a little flare of light..and when it opened, five little wisps scattered about her room, and darting around her.where the light hit, the left little slices. Onyx was learnign all sorts of new little tricks with those things..spies, weapons..maybe he'd learn how to use them to pick something up in due time. wouldn't that be a treat.
"I'm just getting warmed up."
Onyx was a brawler after all. a good fight was a good fight. how coudl he turn this down.

As they got out, Kieran looked back to the place, breifly his mind turning to Onyx. Though he knew the pride of cats but also thier sense of smell...there was nothing in that place now so no danger and Onyx could sniff his way back out and what not. Thus he continued after Catawa until they reached a point there he felt Nerian would be fine, slipping two fingers up under his mask and whistling, only to have the creature appear. Then helping Catawa get Din up on the Zephyr, then mounting up himself. "Back quickly then?"
"You as well Melikki...don't worry, I won't become a stranger to you." And with that she turned, casting a look over her shoulder to the woman and smiling fondly before stepping out of the room and closing the door...perhaps things were going to be in Meilikki's favor for a while, the woman deserved it. But for now she gave a sigh, lightly rubbing at the bandaging on her neck before padding back to her room...only to find Malik and his sword gone. "Just can't win." Oh well while Malik was away, Piper would scheme...on to fetching that little book of notes from her closet.

Catawa climbed up behind Kieran, holdinf Din between them. "Yes. I will point the way." She did, and they were home before the elf-cheetah had much time to think. In no time, she was sliding off of the horse (awkwerd in her cat body) and lowering Din to the ground. His breathing was off, his brown knit. Catawa was touching his skin again.
"Din is a posser. His entire structure is very unstable. He holds himself together almost purly by will, but his will can't hold his own cells together when they touch other living matter."
"I don't like strangers I like you. So," She srhugged, that being pretty much obvious. She smiled as Piper left, and Tanundra entered. She sighed and settled back into her pillow more.
"Start packing whatever it is I have to pack, Tanudnra. We leave soon."
The little whisps made her flinch, but it didn't seem to bother her in the least. She continued removing articles of clothing while keepin Onyx at by with her glass trick. She didn't seem bothered by the things she didn't know, nor did she seem frightened.

Jarlaxle saw the explosion, and felt the shift in the air as the shock waves detured his 'flight' path. He bounced off course, and summersaulted to land against a nearby stalagtite, and pushed off again to regain his attack vector.
Then, seemingly out of the blue, the air elemental pushed its way into his path, and caught his spell and twisted him about, forcing him to disengage the enchantment, only to land in the pool of water, which he sank in like a rock. The elemental would have followed, but a more devious plane came to its unimaginable brain. The drow more or less leaped out of the water, using a newly installed levitation power to place him out of the water, dripping wet, the drow squared off with the new force.
Thud, Zahara's body hit the ground.
The drow general had a rather devious idea as well, and quickly replaced his swords on his back before his hands went nuts sending signals to some unseen spectator.
A globe of darkness covered Zahara's form, and then dissappeared along with the girl. Inside the Keep, Zahara was more or less thrown uncerimoniously onto the ground of the Oracle's room through an unseen doorway.
Killing Zahara would have been somewhat of a beneficial act, but she was still more useful alive than dead at this point, and Jarlaxle did not want to allow the Princeling to have a chance to kidnap her so easily, at this point in time.
Though, the commands did not take very long, it allowed the elemental to take advantage of the temporarily unarmed Drow. He was once again captured within its grasp, and being thrown about inside it mercilessly. The friction of the air cut large gashes in his flesh where it was exposed to the violent wind. After a moment or two, the drow mananged to graps Rune Breaker firmly, and slashed through the centre of the storm with enough force to more or less make it disappate. The Drow was levitating in the air above the pool, and he was looking at the very exposed drow rune mage.
"You lose." The general stated, his face no longer very distinguishable from his blood. His hand was held out before him, steady as a rock. A globe of darkness surronded the General, "Your little tramp card is safe from us, for now. I'll come play again soon." As a parting gift, a fireball was shot from the darkness at Sevilin's location, which would explode into a fiery inferno upon impact of the ground or any barrier. the globe vanished, and so too did the general.

Malik flung Malvolence, and hard. aim was true enough..well..he'd have to hope Seviling would just get the hell out of the way or suffer for it. Fireball hit blade, which made it spin away from the impact..but still made a nice midair explosion. look ma, fireworks.
Before heading to retrieve his blade, and glancing at Sevilin.
"Good show. money well spent to handle Jaraxle and not let him get what he wanted from you."
Blood. that was what Onyx wanted..the scent, the way it slipped down her skin. fuel to feed the dark..get that demonic side pumping. the dichotomy between his twin and himself spread to many aspects of thier existance. while Moonstone's powers and nature were almost entirely useful to healing nad helping, Onyx's was to destroying and hurting. just had to get a focus. somethign to boil the blood both with the smell of blood and the lust that Omega was so kindly nurturing.
Lets see how well a half demigod's power stands up to a half demonic one..and his eyes glowed lightly red and his claws slashed through the air at the barrier in front of him, attempting to shatter her little glass wall.
