"So that s'funny?" Ure pondered this for a second, then cast it aside, remarking, "You speak funny!" She giggled, 'bounc[ing] 'round' more. "Yeah, I guess Kiarna s'my Mother! Who s'yours? And who s'your brothers and sisters? How many y'got?"

Valentine beamed and pointed back to Rune. "She's my Mama." This seemed to be a point of great pride for the little girl. "She came to the old bad place, and when she found out 'bout us, she brought all of us home, so we could have a real family and not get hurted anymore. So now I got lots of brothers and sisters! Arthur and Alexander are my brothers, but I have lots more." She counted on her fingers for a few seconds, then looked slightly lost. "Um, I think - more than twenty. Right, Mama?"
"Thirty-nine." Arthur said quietly. He seemed calm about it, but from the look in his eyes, it was obviously important to him, too. He eyed the box as Jayoku set it down, nodding thoughtfully to himself.
Alexander looked trustingly at Rune, then grinned and squeezed Jayoku's hand. "Mama wouldn't ever do nothing bad a'purpose." His voice had the authority and truth only a little kid could possibly have. "Sometimes she makes things go boom, but that's when she gets mad or Auntie Ri teases her to make her face red. She's the good kinda mage, honest."
Rune's face softened as she heard her son, and she grinned at Alexander before turning back to the other Guardians. "Well, since Morgan - " She held up her pendant, "came to the amulet in the same dimension this box is from, and she used Fable magic to protect these little guys," she ruffled Arthur's hair affectionately, "I'm thinking maybe they might count as the same, but different. So maybe if Arthur opens the other box, Fable will come out."

Jayoku was still wary of magic but trusted in the boys words. Of course seh knew Rune wouldn't do black magic or anything scary or loud on purpose, but still... it was times like these that she wished she had kept herself at home. It was of coruse too late now she was involved in all of this and she wasn't about to go home until everything was fixed.
She glanced at the rabbit girl and the boy who reminded her very much of the grim reaper. Since he was dressed like one and was carrying the very large scythe Io had been given earlier. It caused her to shiver inwardly, even thought hte boy had done nothing hostile it still gave her the heebie geebies.
She never realized one person could have such a large family, she wondered if it was hard to pay close attention to each single person and she only nodded her head when Alexander spoke explaining that his mother was a good mage.
"Trying anything is better than nothing.." she said quietly after Rune had explained what she was going to do. She really hoped that the Fable woman would be able to get out this time..

(*snicker* Rune has over forty kids, actually, she just got a couple more. And the sad part is, she can name every single one and their personal likes / dislikes. xd )

Alexander grinned and tugged Jayoku around the side of the boxes, until they stood near his sister and the rest of the guardians and Fables. "But isn't that the one we weren't s'posed to touch?" He asked. Valentine, too, frowned thoughtfully. "You told Cody you'd skin 'im if he touched the Fey stuff. You won't skin Arthur, would you?" Unconsciously, she clutched Jay's leg. "He needs his skin!"
Arthur's lips twitched as he crouched beside the apparent 'lid' of the Fey box, and Rune's cheeks went slightly pink. "You weren't supposed to hear that." She said with as much dignity as she could manage. "Honest, I'm not going to skin anyone, least of all Arthur. This is special circumstances. We need to open the box so we can get miss Fable out."
Gently, she removed the amulet from around her neck and handed it down to Arthur. The small boy took it and slipped the silken ribbon over his head, speaking softly in a language that matched his accent. "Morgan, we need your help." He murmured, touching the seal of the lid. "Can we open this?"
The amulet glowed slightly, and an answering shine came from Arthur's fingertips. Rune looked slightly relieved, though she kept her gaze glued to the child. "That's one down - the residue from Morgan's protection still holds. Now, let's hope pulling this box open reverses what happened when the other box closed."
Arthur nodded. Firmly forcing his fingers into the seam of the seal, he gave a hard yank, pulling it open. Light swirled in a barrage of colors, a rush of wind . . .
(And now it's up to Kanth whether Fable comes out or not. *snicker*)

( Rune reminds me of the old grandmother who lived in the shoe, who had so many children she didn't know what to do~ xD )
The box crackled, and then sent a force that blew everyone back quite a few feet. The ground rumbled before sucking the large box into the ground, and dirt covered most of it save for a few words, making it seem as if it were there for ages.
"Now you've done it," Murmured a cool voice, and in a high tree sat a girl, swinging her legs back and forth with ease.
Beside her was nothing but a grin, which laughed as if it had plotted someone's demise.

((XD I bet a Fable based off that story would be just like Rune then~nyu! XP ))
"Thirty-nine? Waaa! Ne, ne, Kiarna, do I have any bothers or sissers?" Ure hopped around hopefully.
"Brothers or sisters~nyu," Kiarna corrected. "And yes~nyu, you have three sisters~nyu." She sighed.
"Waaiii! That's great!" She stopped hopping, looking puzzled. "What are bothers or sissers?"
Kiarna was about to exasperately correct Ure again and explain, when suddenly Ure straightened as if she heard something.
"HEY! Something is 'appenin' o'er there!" Ure said, and grabbing Constantine by the arm with one hand, scooping Valentine up in the other arm, and bounding off SUPERSPEED to where she heard the noise.
Upon reaching the area, she dropped Constantine and Valentine. "Uaaa!" she gasped in suprise.
"HEY!" Kiarna's voice came from where Ure had just fled from. "URE~nyu! Wait up~nyu!" She burst into view, looking very irritated. "Ure~nyu, you really should - " Then she caught sight of the box. "Oh, my dear gods~nyu," she breathed. "What'd you guys do~nyu?" she asked desperately, turning to the children, Valentine, and Jay.

Rune landed on her behind with a thump at the force from the box, unconsciously twisting to shield Arthur from the blast. Valentine yelped and clung tightly to Ure, burying her face in the bunny Fable's shoulder; likewise, Alexander clutched at Jay and hid his face. Both children were trembling like leaves.
Climbing to her feet, the Water Slider dusted herself off and cursed fluidly in several languages, carefully holding Arthur close and looking him over. "Are you alright, sweetheart?"
The boy nodded, face chalk-white, and pointed to Rune's arm. "You're bleeding." He said shakily. It was true - the back of the girl's right arm had been gashed open nearly three inches on a sharp rock. She winced and shrugged, awkwardly conjuring a wad of cloth to stem the blood. "Eh, I've had worse. At least it's the right one - I spell with the left." Then, eyes wide with worry, she looked up again. "Alex?! Valentine?!"
"Heh - here, Mummy." Alexander still clung to Jayoku, though Valentine had taken her face from Ure's protection to stare up at the new girl and grin. Her golden eyes gleamed with fear and anger. "We didn' do nothin'!" She glared, looking almost near tears. "We just wanned miss Fable out so she can give back Morgan!" A tear slid down her cheek, and she brushed it fiercely away. "Give back our Morgan!"
"An make Jay's baby come!" Came the defiant addition, as Alexander piped up to 'defend' his chosen protector. Of course, neither child moved from their sheltering comrades.

Kiarna's face softened. "I know you didn't do anything wrong~nyu...but...what did you do?" she asked, carefully making her voice sound as soothing and understanding as possible.
Ure did not look like a hyper ball of joy anymore. On the contrary, her face was quite solemn as she comforted the children.
"So. What do we try...next?" she wondered quietly aloud.
Then she jumped and glanced upwards, towards the trees. It might have been her imagination in the confusion of the moment, but a few seconds ago she could have sworn she had heard a voice up there...

Jayoku had been for the most part a bit out of it. As there came a large explosion she used her body to sheild the young boy still clutching to her leg and hand.
She could feel the very air withdraw sharply and in an instant explode out an all around her. She couldn't help but utter a shriek of fear as dirt and gravel swept past her at amazing speeds. Several larger peices managed to rip into her clothing, the breath of wind like a whip bruise and even cuting into her skin.
When it had died down she could only stare in amazement, there were only a few injuries nothing serious, she could only feel her knees weaken under her weight. it took about all her effort not to collaspe right then and there. Her gaze finally turned to Alexander and she placed her trembling fingers on his head, "You are okay? not hurt are you?" she asked running her fingers through his hair to try and calm him down some.
When Zlex mentioned something about her having her own child and bringing it here, she unconciously looked at her stomach...then realized what he meant. Children as in Constantine and Ure not a baby baby. She felt her face go red at her confused train of thought.
Like a zombie she turned her head to look at Rune and finally Ure and Kiarna. When the strange voice spoke she nearly jumped out of her skin, twisting her body so she kept Aled close to herself she looked up only to see..a girl and a weird smile beside her.

"Move on, there are more pressing matters to worry about," Eileis murmured with a slight air about her, tilting her head at an odd angle as the smile wavered, and then disappeared altogether.
"Fable will be stuck in that box for a long time to come, as it will take many more Fables than what we have now to open that box. Tasius and the box... is not our enemy right now."
Jumping down from the tree, the blonde girl put her hands behind her back, and stared at the box for a moment, before giving a smile to all of them, and walking off.
(( Feel free to finish up in this thread, as the current plot is now finished. x3 We have other plans... but nothing big, as we're going to take it easy now. heart ))

Confsued by the girls words, Jayoku stood awkwardly her hand still clutching Alexander's. She trembeled a bit staring at the box before she moved over to it slowly, as if she was afriad of another explosion.
Her fingers managed to slip through Alex's as she went to kneel beside the box, her hesitant gesture showing her fear. Biting her lower lip she reached down until the tips of her fingers brushed ever so lightly against the lid. There was no reaction, thus she felt more confident as her long artists fingers wrapped itself around the top.
She had spilt her blood on it, and somehow she felt very connected to it. Like she was protecting something precious. Looking up to Kiarna, Rune, and Io plus the numerous children she gave a very small smile.
"um...would ..it be okay if i looked after the box? Just until we figure out something that we can do to help?" she asked hoping not to sound too rude. But the box seemed too precious just leave it be.

"If that is what you wish." The blonde girl murmured, giving a brief smile before disappearing completely.
