"Jonas," Fall sighed, "I-I can't believe it." Was she dreaming? Hesitantly, Fall reached out and touched Jonas's cheek. No, she wouldn't wake feeling disappointed again. This was real. Placing her hand against the fountain's surface, she seated herself beside Jonas and smiled. "How are you?" After twenty years, Fall had changed. Both physically and emotionally. Like most that seperate into two different beings, they start out being either good or evil, but eventually they develop other emotions. She didn't just feel hatred anymore. Or anger. Despite Fall's new array of emotions, her eyes would always give away the fact that she was the demonic one. Her eyes were still crimson, but her hair wasn't auburn, lighter now, chestnut brown. She'd even gotten a tan; freckles from the sunlight were dusted across her nose, barely visible. Her clothing from years ago were always dark, but today she wore a pastel green dress. Fall looked beautiful and healthy, but terribly, terribly lonely. And sad.

Jonas reached up and touched her hand against his cheek. "I have been....." He fell silent. A light in his eyes, that had been missing for so long returned. "It doesn't matter, I'm well now, and that's all that counts. How about you?"

"I've been...alright, I suppose," Fall sighed, "Mim's been busy hunting down information on Jack the Ripper. Gage, Mina, Gregory...they've been traveling with her. So, I've been helping Grace with Thalia. Although, you two have already met...." Fall smiled to herself, enjoying the warmth of his hand against hers.
"Hello, Jonas," said Grace. She'd changed in appearance too. Long blonde hair, alabaster skin, and beautiful blue eyes that held nothing but kindness. Grace was dressed identical to Fall, except her dress was white. Thalia was balanced on her hip and she waved, giggling.
"I think Auntie Fall wants to kiss you."
"Thalia, quiet." Fall looked away, hoping to hide the blush that crept along her cheeks.

Jonas smiled, more so to himself than anything else. "Nice to see you again Grace." Jonas wrapped his and firmly around Fall's. When he heard what Thalia said he just smiled more. "So why is Mim hunting Jack? And in such force?" He looked between the two women.

"Collecting information," Fall replied, "Jack the Ripper's monsters were attacking the innocent. Steadily increasing everyday..."
"Jack the Ripper's pet, Fury, ripped her heart out..."
"If Mim was determined to catch the Ripper before, now she's got a personal vendetta against the murderer. Knowing her..."
"She won't stop..."
"not even at the exspense of her own health..."
"Her future isn't looking well, my dear Jonas..."
"The goddess Neith blessed her with immortality. As long as Mimicry has someone to protect she'll never die. With each new wound she recieves, she'll feel no pain."
"It is both a blessing and a curse."
Fall grinned, resting her head against Jonas's shoulder. She enjoyed the feeling of his arm around her. "Sorry," she whispered, "oracles like ourselves can get pretty creepy."

Despite the horrid news Jonas smiled. "I think pretty creepy by any normal persons standards is usual for us." Jonas buried his face into Fall's hair. "Well at least Mim will never die, she's always out protecting somebody."

" Aye, thats the problum. b***h Goddess's only lead to trouble, Donna ever think they be on your side boy." standing away from the fountain across from them the Irish man droped his cig, grinding it out with his heel as he pulled his thick coat on. his hair hid his eyes, and thus the evidence of his curse, from their view.. but the frown on his strong features was clear. he was not a man much pleased with the holy beings. his manner was harmless enough, a crooked grin settling into place as he rubbed the back of his head.. adressing the group as he asked, sounding at a loss. " Pardon me, i tend ta over step myself. Da you Knew a bonny lass by the name of Robins? Ashley Robins? her shop is'na easy to find in'a town like this'n."

Jonas gave the man a once over. "I'm sorry sir, but I do not know of a Ashley Robins. Its been a while since I have been her last, so look around. You might find what you are looking for amongst the crowd."

"Ach, T'is a shame for sure. T'would h've cut me search down a few hours." offering a charming grin he lifted his bag from the fountains edge, waveing as he turned away from them. " Alas, thank ye anyway lad. T'is too much to hope for to find'er so quickly.. all of ye stay away from dark alleys, aye? word is a killers on the loose." with a sigh he headed into the crowd, whistling a cheery tune as he glanced back from the corner of his eye.. a flash of red there and then gone as he was lost from sight.

Fall watched the Irish fellow depart and winced, bringing her hand to her forehead. Visions of the past assualted her psyche, bringing on a ferocious headache. An alter maiden...a goddess...a curse. "A cursed man," Fall whispered.
"He's searching for his daughter." Thalia said matter-of-factly.
Unlike most oracles, Thalia, Fall, and Grace weren't complete without the other. Fall's abilities were limited to the past, Thalia the present, and Grace could see the future.
"Will he find her?"
"..." Grace didn't answer, instead seated herself beside Fall, setting Thalia on her lap. "Jonas, do you have a home?"
"Stay with us, Auntie Fall would love it!"
"Thalia..."

Salazar made his way into the village. Dazed, confused, and just a bit lost. After staggering around for a mite he stopped to take a break and overheard a conversation going on a ways over. "Why not, I'm bored." He whispered to himself as he sat and listened to the conversation, though his mind was on other subjects.

Jonas smiled at the three. "I don't have a home anymore. I would be glad to join you three if you would permit me."

"Good," Grace said, "I wasn't taking no for an answer."
"Isn't that my line?"
"You're so naughty."
Rolling her eyes, Fall took Jonas's hands and brought him to his feet. "Come, love. It isn't far from here..." She started leading them through the marketplace until the four stood before a humble, two-level house. It looked like any other house within the village from the outside, but inside, it was lovely.
((Use your imagination, I lack creativity right now...))
"Make yourself at home, please."
"Auntie's room is right there," Thalia said, pointing towards a door just beneath the staircase. Pulling Jonas down to her level, she whispered, "inside her pillow, there's a picture. Look at it."
"What are you telling him now?"
"...Nothing," she giggled, winking at Jonas.

Fall seated herself upon her bed, the sheets a silky black, and scooted over, patting the spot beside her. "I honestly couldn't tell you," she admitted, "I haven't had time to myself. Grace had...complications during birth and I've been helping her and Gage raise Thalia ever since. It's been nice though...an easy way to distract me from myself."
"What about you?" She asked, "I noticed you avoided the question when Grace asked how you'd been..."
