((Lul, Darth Vader force choke.))
Skollozeir gave a cocky bow to Noreen when she began to rant about him to Desdion. Then he watched the exchange of commentary from both of them, listening to one also interesting in his head. Hm, this one's observation powers have improved. Not to mention his level of confidence and sheer overall power. A minor difference considering the practical potential. Noreen left too soon for Skollozeir to get in a comment, and he ended up looking confused after Desdion when he stalked away as well. The less-than-mentally-stable man padded quickly after the god. "Lord Desi, you're angrier than a rabid badger, a badger half-dead, half-starved!" He chuckled wildly to himself. "How'd you know what happened before we got here, before we could tell you what happened?"
Oliver hesitated a second before nodding. "Sure, if it's okay with you. I've been on my own with Gue for the longest time." The boy reached out and felt a hot bowl placed in his hands, a delicious smell rising from it. The panther laid it's head down, going into a half doze knowing that Oliver was safe for the moment. "Mm, this is really good!" Oliver waved a hand over his mouth.

"I felt it. It was thanks to you and whatever you did. I felt you and my brother's power from here and from there I used the eyes of the Raylore. I don't exactly know what you did but you did very well. My brother has been revealed to us and it's only a matter of time until he comes here. It shall be you and Noreen's job to stall them as long and as many times as it takes. I have a special weapon being forged as we speak." Desdion stopped at a window and motioned for Skollozier to look out the window. Below was a circular room and at the center was a forge and at the very center was an anvil at this anvil was a man made of black flames hitting some sort of blade. Around the forge was several circles of other men in black robes all channeling some white energy into the ceiling. In the cieling was some sort of coil that spouted lightning. The lightning wasn't even lightning really. It seemed to flow into the blade making the blade glow a dark blue color. "The blade is being made by Geron the Shadow Smith. A legend. Also those men in black robes are channeling souls into that coil and from there they are being siphoned into the blade. The blade is being forged from the souls of thousands of souls. All that is solid is the handle." Desdion smiled. "Now once Noreen is healed you and her shall stall my brother as long as possible. Do you understand?"
"You could say it's magic." Strider smiled as he ate his soup. "Now when the sun rises we should probably attempt to travel some miles. I feel like we're not such a secret anymore."

"Of course, of course! Stalling Azzie-wazzie shouldn't be a problem at all! Ha ha ha!" Skollozeir spun around in place before standing at attention, a hand brought up in a stiff salute. Then he dug into his pocket. "No, no, that wasn't me. I'm not capable of doing what you think I did, Lord Desi. It was something else!" The eyes of the Raylore hadn't been there to see what had really taken place. Now is not the appropriate time, Skollozeir. The man frowned as his fingers touched the rock briefly. I would prefer it if it stayed that only three knew about my presence. For now. Skollozeir nodded, then turned a wild grin to Desdion in apology. "It was actually my friend! But, when do'ya think Norie'll be up'n'ready?"
Oliver nodded in agreement with the decision, wiping his mouth with a sleeve as he finished. "Yeah. The undead back in Wraitholme were getting pretty agitated. Do you think Brianna will be strong enough to walk?"

"She should be fine within a day. I shall send my healers to help her. When she is up and going you are to leave. You have your orders now leave me." Desdion eyed Skollozier's pocket without turning his head.
"I don't know yet. She may not even get up for a little bit longer. If it comes down to it i'll have to enter her mind myself and wake her up." Strider finished his soup.

In the room, Noreen sat down in front of a vanity set with a large demonic mirror. "Show me the great granddaughter of Selene." She spoke to it. Instantly, an image of Brianna appeared on the surface, looking to be sleeping soundly, but it was the exact opposite of that. Her dreams were filled with flashbacks of her past to when her village was burned down. That's when her fear of fire started. Not only does it melt ice, it relentlessly devoured all in it's path. Smirking a bit, she drew the same symbol on the surface she tried to use on the vampire, only several times over so even the great god himself will find it difficult to break.Brianna groaned when she felt Noreen try to take over her mind. Curling up of the ground, she clutched her ears and shook her head wildly. "No..." She murmured, tossing and turning wildly. "No...! Get out of my head...! Stop!" Laying on her back, her back arched as she screamed, eyes shut closed.

Strider jumpped up immediately and looked at Brianna's forhead and saw a faded mark begin to appear but stronger. "Everyone stand back!" Strider place a purple barrier over Brianna making a small dome over her. He then began to draw a circle around the dome. "I'm going to release the barrier then erect another one. I want you and Gue to stand back. This could get a little messy." He finished drawing the circle and took the smaller barrier down then made another one around him and Brianna at the center. Strider kneeled down and took off his shades and got Brianna into a kneeling position. He then laid his forhead onto hers and his mind entered Brianna's. He searched around for Brianna. He saw the burning village and then he saw her. He ran to her and saw several marks all over her. "Oh boy. I'm sorry Brianna." A powerful aura enveloped Strider and her picked brianna up and with another sorry plunged his hand through her head but instead of his hand coming out the other side, killing Brianna, a wave like on water appeared on her head where Strider's hand went in. A powerful aura appeared on Brianna and all the symbols began to disappear. Then there was only one left. The original. Strider took his arm out and then used his staff like on the vampire and used the butt end of his staff and jabbed Brianna's forhead, breaking the seal. This time a shockwave blasted Strider out of Brianna's mind and into his own body and from there his body was blasted outside of the barrier, breaking it, and throwing him into a tree. Strider fell to the ground unconcious and hurt.

"Of course, of course, Lord Desi!" Skollozeir cackled gleefully and gave a dramatic flourishing bow. Then the man spun around in place to face the other way, darting off into the dark halls. "That was an interesting chat, wasn't it? No report, no fuss!" Skollozeir skirted around a marching column of demons, calling out teases to them until they eventually chased him off. "Huh, I should go and see if Norie's feeling any better. Hey Norie-worie!" He called out, peeking from the side of the door into her room. Noticing the dark elf Drezzer there, he greeted him as well. "Oh, hi Drezzie!"
Oliver soon became very confused. The peaceful night had shattered, leaving him unsure of what to do next. "Uh, Strider?" No response. "Br-Brianna?" Only a soft sigh as she slumped down to fall back into a much calmer sleep. "Gue? Are you still...?" The panther came up and nudged his shoulder encouragingly. "What do I do?" Gue tugged his sleeve until he got up, guiding him to where Strider lay unmoving. He nearly fell over the man, stumbling to a stop. "Um..." On a sudden impulse, he pulled a white rock from his pocket. He'd picked it up before he'd went to Wraitholme. Open your eyes. Oliver didn't question where the voice had come from. "But, they're already open. I'm blind..." Not that way, boy. He frowned, wondering what it meant. Until the blackness he saw everyday changed. The surroundings came into his sight like someone had colored with crayons on paper, colored that with black, then stenciled out shapes revealing the part underneath. The trees, for instance, were only a basic outline of the same color, few details on a black backdrop. He glanced down to see Strider, looking as if someone had sketched him out on paper, then to the rock in his hand. It glowed a little when he moved it closer. It flashed suddenly and Strider's body glowed the same color. Then the rock went dull, losing it's shine, as did the man. Oliver tucked it back in his pocket, his concentration focusing on how he could see, albeit very differently than he remembered. But he began to feel tired, wobbling in place. "Gue, I feel woooozy..." The young boy was caught when he fell by the panther, fast asleep.

Drezzer sat back and let Noreen work and watched as the symbols were made and watched everything that had happened. "Hmmm, that sucks." Then Skollozier stepped in. "Hey Skolli! You just missed a heck of a counter spell."
Strider groans and sits up. "What a spell. Just about didn't work. Oliver? Hmmm." Strider eyed something that was half out of Oliver's pocket. He took it out of his pocket and looked at it. Hello there. I suspect your like that other stone except a good version?

Noreen glared at the two that entered her room without her permission, her mirror having completely disintegrated. "Why are you two in here? Get out!" Suddenly, a sigh came from the doorway, followed by a muffled masculine voice. "Short-tempered as ever, are you, Mad Flann?" Noreen growled as she turned her glare to the boy in her doorway. He was hunched over with his arms dangling at his sides. He also had small bony wings on his back and a black notebook at his belt. "Don't you ever call me that, you shinigami filth. I don't need you here either!" Another sigh came from the said shinigami's covered lips. "Unfortunately, yes, you do. Lord Desdion sent me here to have you healed." Noreen's glare turned even more fierce, if that's even possible. "I don't need to be healed by the likes of you!" she shrieked in anger. The boy sighed for the third time in as many minutes before he approached her. When he was right next to her, he nudged her broken leg a little harsher than intended, causing her to wince and hiss in pain. "Then what was that reaction for?" He asked a little smugly. Noreen growled at him before turning to give him her leg. "Thank you." He said simply before healing her.When Strider woke up, so did Brianna after some more bad dreams. "What... What happened...?" She murmured, rubbing her eyes in an attempt to see a little better. When she saw Oliver passed out on the ground, she approached him. "Is he alright?" She asked the panther, placing a hand on his head to try to read his thoughts so he can tell her. Mochi and Mimi sat on either shoulder to look down at the small boy in worry, therefor allowing Selene to see him as well.

"He should be fine. Just a little worn out from all the excitement." Strider tapped Mochi and motioned for the small bunny to follow him. He needed to speak to Selene alone.
"Awwww, your hurting my feelings Norrie." Drezzer smiled as he used Skollozier's nickname for her. He loved the reactions she gave to it. "Now here I was just trying to help you feel better and you yell at me. What do you think of that Skolli?"

"Counter spell, shmounter spell." Skollozeir nodded to himself satisfactorily. "Daw, Norie-worie's just hurt. Hurt like a jackrabbit in a trap, like a man under a log, like a horse like no legs!" He cackled crazily and twirled a butterfly knife in his hand expertly, pulling it from seemingly nowhere. "She better get better, we're going after Azzie-poo when Norie does!"
Gue looked Brianna in the eyes and gave a slow nod. Then the panther curled up by Oliver, the small boy holding him like a stuffed animal. The stone that had glowed when Oliver held it glowed faintly before a voice issued forth into Strider's mind. My, you're a tall one! And cute too. A girlish giggle. I don't know what 'stone' thing you're talking about. This is just to keep an eye on that golden eyed boy. I have one like him in my employ at the moment, blind as a bat but endowed as well.

Noreen gritted her teeth as both Drezzer and Skollozeir taunted her. Turning her glare at both of them, fire suddenly erupted from holes in the walls near where they are. "I swear to all the nine levels of hell below which you stand... When I'm healed, you're both going to get my fire staff shoved so far up your asses that you'll be eating flames for eternity!!" The boy sighed then as Noreen's wrath. 'She needs to learn to calm her temper...' he thought solemnly before wrapping her leg in bandages and sticks to serve as a splint.
Brianna nodded in satisfaction before taking a small blanket from her pack to drape it over the small boy. Both the rabbits followed Strider to a more secluded area of the clearing, out of ear shot of Brianna and the vampire, who hasn't given his name.

Skollozeir danced away from the erupting fire, smelling the slight smell of singed hair. He patted his dark brown curls with both hands, snickering. "Ha ha! You can try, Norie! Oh, yes, you can try! Let'see what happens to you when you do try! Ha ha ha!"

Water dripped from Drezzer after the flames subsided. "Come now Norrie you know fire can't hurt me." Drezzer had put ice between him and the fire. He had put ice on his face. "Besides, from the look of your staff i'd say it'd break if you tried." Drezzer had gone and picked up Noreen's staff and inspected the long crack in it.
Strider stopped and spoke to whoever was speaking to him through the stone. Then tell me who are you? Then he spoke to Selene. "Hello sister. I wanted to ask how the war goes and how all of our other brother's and sisters are." Strider paused and looked at the stone. "Also, i've run into some complications."

Another girlish giggle from the voice. It waited patiently until Strider had finished talking before replying, albeit a little smugly. I am what every race and species calls a witch.
