Po-ar stopped, "Imogene... I'll be right back. I hate to test my portals, especially with Konton having partial control over them, but they're needed."
And he was gone, appearing where Herne held Thom, Vincent, Morrigan, and Aoikage.
The Tarnb-jin grasped Thom and Morrigan before the enemy knew he was there, and pulled them into the portal with him, chair and all...
~~~
"Then what causes this?" Konton asked. "This soul should be dormant and asleep it..." but the demon's eyes caught Po-ar before the man had disappeared.
"We need to keep a closer eye on our prisoners." he spoke.
~~~
Po-ar jumped out of the portal with Morrigan and Thom. "Well, I can't do that again... We need a new way in."
The bodies of Herne and Konton however, had prevented the Tarnb-jin from seeing Trunks' fallen form.

**Who all did we rescue???**
While unconscious, Morrigan was still trying her damnedest to communicate.
There was a long stretch of silence before she tried again. **......Um.......Someone....mind trying to wake me up?? I'm a bit... impatient....at being helpless. Anything? Vinegar? Fennel? ......Shots of adrenaline?** However, the two iron-tipped arrows in her shoulders looked a bit, well, painful. The second shot was worse than the first, though both were oozing sanguine. On one hand, her listless state was allowing her to rejuvenate her spellcasting energies, which she had sorely depleted; on the other...
Well, Morrigan was a restless being, and was hardly one to stay put.
Vincent was an equally interesting case. Unlike Morrigan, he was in fairly better condition; bruised badly here and there, cut a few other places, something bordering on frostbite with his hands. However, unlike Morrigan, he was rolling around in the grass, sighing happily, in a world completely of his own.
**You know, hate to be a nag, but I need to heal myself,** Morrigan's mental voice piped up again, nearly broadcasted.

'I can't very well wake you up here. I don't have the means.' came Po-ar's mental voice. 'Plus, I would not risk another portal, not after Konton saw us. I managed to grab you and Thom, but the others are still in our enemy's hands. We need to leave.'
And it was this thought that he spoke to Imogene. "We need to grab Vejita and Trunks and leave as soon as possible. Ashuri's body and soul will have to wait."
He did not know about Aoikage.

Imogene, however, had seen Aiokage when she had come in with Morrigan.
"There's Aiokage, too. I don't know how he got here, but he was definatly there. I saw him." she said quietly as she untied Thom from his chair.
Thom looked at the two of them, started to sign and then stopped in frustation, realizing they couldn't understand him.
Imogene seemed to tall what he wanted, though; it wasn't hard, there situation considering.
"Maeve's already back in the temple with Leif.Her, you take Morrigan and I'll send you through the closet"
Thom visably relaxed and he and Imogene quickly went through the closte carryign Morrigan. Imogen went just far enough so that the passage through was clear and then sped back.
"Allright, three down, three to go. Let's go."
---------------
Leif was not so surprised to see Thom and Morrgan coming through the closte. He had been expecting it this time. Maeve was lain on the bed and Leif gently put Morrigan beside her with Thom's help.
Carefully, he pulled out the iron arrows, one by one, examining them up close.
"Morrigan and some of the other priest and preistess have been shwoing me some things and expanding my knowledge," Leif said fluidly. It was partially true. He had asked for books and things of herbal lore.
"I have an idea, for Morrigan. Thom can you get me some vinegar and fennal please?"
Thom looked at Maeve and then back to Thom.
"One step at a time, brother. I'm not sure what exatcly wrong with Maev yet."
--------------
Herne cursed and opened the pannel. Thom and Morrigan were gone. Damn.
"Check for the girl!" he snapped at one of the hunters who hurried off immediatly

**Take me to Leif!** Morrigan attempted to negotiate, **I'll have enough energy built up by then that I'll teleport you! Remember?! I can teleport too!**
Nevermind she'd been shot with two arrows. She was ready to go out and finish things up. **Pour vinegar down my throat! Fennel! We have those!!! I know we do, gods, goddesses, PLEASE, I can't stand this, it's like a prison...**
Wow. Morrigan was NOT one to like being down and out of commission.
**Even if I just stay here! I don't trust Kiraef! Someone has to keep an eye on him!**

Leif was already mxing the fennal with the vinegar.
'Tilt her throat back, Thom." Leif instructed. Thom looked puzzled but did as he was instructed. Hopefully he woudl be able to come up with a cover story later, with Morrigan's help.
He poured the mix down the woman's throat

Morrigan sat bolt upright with a gasp and a groan, wincing from her shoulders but attempting to stand all the same. She could make a drink from the cauldron, maybe... "About bloody time, I can't stand sedatives or anesthia...." she complained bitterly, "We have to find Kiraef."

"Why?" asked Lief at the same time Thom signed Who? And what about Maeve?

"Why not??" Morrigan asked, raising an eyebrow, "Do you trust him anymore than I do?? Ugh," she winced, hoisting herself off the bed and stretching her legs, "Alright, alright..."
You know, maybe this wasn't such a good idea; she was starting to remember that she'd been injured. Not injured in the sense of she felt spectacular. No. It was moreso that she was just finding it harder than usual to pull being alright off. "What the hell are you three tied up with Herne for??" she asked instead, sitting back down on the floor, "I can't figure out in the slightest why he's so intent on snatching you."
Silent submission. She knew she was hurt, but too proud to say so. Better to sit somewhere other than a bed.

Thom shrugged and started signing to Leif who translated for Morrigan's benifet.
I don't know. He wanted something with my music. He made me play a song of some type, but as far as I can tell, nothing came of it

Morrigan's interest suddenly peaked. "Song???" she asked curiously, "Could you play it again for me if given an instrument? A harp, or a penny-whistle...? Or, or could you write the notes??" she asked eagerly, her gut instinct intensifying. This was a lead worth following on, and she was an inquisitive little thing.

Thom nodded, seeming almost insulted by the question. Of course he could. Lief couldn't help but smile at that.
Can you get me some paper and somethign to write with. Herne has all my instruements
Leif nodded and quickly got an inkwell, quill and peice of parchment, claering off a section of desk. Thom began to work furiously, copying the song donw note for note. Lief watched, his suspiscon becomign confirmed.
Thom handed the finsihed piece to Morrigan.

Morrigan read over the notes a few times, before finally recognizing the tune in her head. Unlike Thom, she was good with music, but not a musical prodigy. "I see... I'll have to study this," Morrigan whispered softly, but her eyes met with Leif's, betraying to him a sudden understanding between peers. "If I can figure it out, I'll let you know. It might be some sort of enchantment or something..."
Now, Maeve. "For Maeve..." she contemplated, "Was she hit with the tranqs, the hallucinogens, or the toxins from the hounds???....Suppose a compound of dandelion, milk thistle, sassafras, plantain, and cleavers would be helpful, and some nettles..." she recommended. She would've done it herself if her shoulders hadn't been taken out.
For now, she would wait to talk to Leif, and only assume that Herne was trying to figure out some way to harm the druids and the ancient lore, and bring back the ancient wise-one to whom she owed a great deal of respect.

Thom shook his head and signed rapidly to Leif.
Neither. Herne gave her something. I don't know what it was, it was black. He said it woudl make her feverish and keep her unconcious but not kill her
Leif was already getting to work with the herbs Morrigan perscribed. He, too, would like to talk to Morrigan but could not so openly with Thom there. And the boy woudl not leave Maeve. Not unless he was dragged kickign and screaming. It would have to wait.

Konton shoved the vial back into his chest. "I shall worry with this later. For now..." he walked back to where Aoikage was tied up. "Hello, brat." he hissed, grasping the youth by the chin and forcing the frightened boy to look at him. "Miss me? I do hope so because we are going to get to know one another... very VERY well."
At this, the daemon shuddered, his eyes closing as he tried to look away.
"Herne. Can I trust you with him? I need to return so the others do not become suspicious."
~~~
Po-ar nodded, "Right but... I'm lost... I know! I know! ad timing! Where do we go?!"
