Suddenly, Will saw Leon fall to the ground and blinked as he was jerked back out of surprise. He couldn't imagine what could cause the headstrong Leon to drop to the floor. Will wanted to help him but for some reason or other, he couldn't move his feet. It felt as if looking at the fallen Leon had caused him to completely freeze. He thought that he was shocked to the bone, his limbs losing feeling and his face turning to a pale in that of which was paler than the Joulas he had become accustomed to. Now, as he began to come to his senses, Will drew himself together, heart throbbing, limbs trembling, and forced himself to walk towards Leon who looked as serene as ever before. And as Will tried to lift the seemingly unconscious Joulas, which was a mighty hard task that took him quite some time, Calor continued to follow the two protoss until he was close enough to be noticed. "Well?" he asked as he made himself known. "Why are you here. You and I both know you shouldn't be so explain yourself." A tint of anger shown in his voice and the glare he had previously held upon his face now intensified. Anger was something he rarely showed around Will but now he was making obvious that he was.

Leon stood, his eyes fixed hard on Thait. "Begone!" Leon said, he rushed at Thait again, the weight of his body increased. Leon swung a heavy fist at Thait, who leaped backward lightly. Leon's rage was building.
"Control your rage or you will never have control over your mind." Thait said dodging several more of Leon's attacks. Despite Thait's words Leon was not listening. He was focused on obliterating the thing that builds his hatred, so the rage would leave him. "You are blinded by your fury, there for you are ignorant. Focus on the smart choice." Thait said before hitting Leon with the hit of the sword. Leon's mind was being torn between his sense and his anger.

Calor shook his head and an impatient expression was seen on his face. He looked up at the two and said "Why are you here?" between clenched teeth. "If you attacked by a strange force, then why are you here!?! You know you are forbidden! Now tell me, if you know you were attacked, then what did so? And why? If you need more clarification, let me explain to you in advance exactly what I mean. You saw you were attacked so tell me the being and anyone that would be out to get you and explain." Calor began moving at his own pace as opposed to staying with other's usually or playing catch up with Will. As the conversation continued, even if Calor thought it didn't progressed, Will managed to lift up Leon who now appeared as if he were having a nightmare or maybe even a seizure. He rushed to where his books were placed, took out one such of a pale, mushroom green, and came back to Leon. As he flipped through the book, Will saw Leon continued to squirm. He was helpless until he could find what he needed. And just when it seemed as if all hope were lost, just when it really counted, Will found what he needed.

"We don't see out our ship, but maybe someone feared us because we were in such an advanced vehicle." Ob said as he floated to Azure
Azure grabbed ob and shut him down "we do not need to answer your questions." he said with light anger in his voice before turning and walking off

Leon was now nearly pinned to the ground, he was thinking unimaginable thoughts. Thait stood tall above him. "Focus on your true nature, anger cannot take you." Thait said. "If you surrender to your emotions now our mind will be consumed." These words struck Leon, he stopped struggling. Leon's chest mark stopped it's glowing. Leon stood, slowly but strong. Thait appeared satisfied. "Very good. Let your anger take control and death will surely be about you if you are facing a strong being." Thait turned and secured the two hand sword in his case. The heavily robed figure vanished, and Leon was again no longer trapped in his own mind, and he occupied his body...
The red robed outline of the Joulas stood again, and he turned to Will. He remained silent, simply looking down to him.

Tsukiko's image was now crisp and distinct within the mirror. The moon was high in the sky, and she sensed that there was something more to this night. The two newcomers were already starting to leave when she finally saw one of their faces. they definitely weren't beings of this world, for they didn't have any resemblance of a human. And... one of them was floating..? Tsukiko tilted her head to the side, raising a skeptical eyebrow. These guys seemed to have it in their mind that they were extremely advanced.
Tsukiko didn't know what was going on; she couldn't see past the room. From the look she saw on Will's face, she knew that something had happened to Leon. Her eyes widened, revealing the white around her vibrant blue-green irises. From what it sounded like, Leon had collapsed. Leon seemed to be the parental figure in Will's life; the tree in which the boy leaned on. Tsukiko had no idea what was happening, but she knew it wasn't good. Could these newcomers be the cause of Leon's collapse?
"What happened out there...?" Tsukiko said, bring out her voice for the first time in front of this unknown race. It looked as though the terror in Will's face had subsided and a mask of questions had been placed on to cover up the fear. He seemed abnormally persistent on trying to find out every detail on these two's lives and how they got here. Tsukiko didn't know why, but she heard that the new races' presence was forbidden.
Tsukiko heard the soft swishing of robes for a moment. It was coming from the back of the hallway; the part concealed behind the room's wall; the part she couldn't see. The soft noise only lasted for a second, then was whisked away into that place that sound goes when it's no longer heard. She wouldn't swear by it, but it sounded like a person in heavily cloaked robes standing up from the ground...

Will looked up at Leon and sighed, putting the leafy covered book down and thinking. His eyes swayed from side to side speedily as he looked toward the ground once more. His eyes squinted for it hurt him when he tried to widen his hazel eyes. Usually they were a turquoise-blue but now it appeared to be a pattern of red and orange rings one around another. His pupils widened, he stood, and spoke "Are you alright?" He was tense and serious fore he knew what was going on not far from him, Calor arguing with the two strange beings. But also he was feeling strange for another reason and he soon found the answer as to why: His skin brightened as the moon shown brighter than ever he had seen and it was enormous. He didn't mind so much once he saw that the moon was as large(in appearance) as it was and imagined the intensity of the light and the appearance of the moon on the night of the eclipse. 'Shall we discuss further." Will continued as he tried futilely to tare his gaze from the magnificent moon. Finally, finally, he looked away and towards the mirror, only to stare at the reflection of the moon in the mirror instead of Tsukiko.

"We must discuss further, yes." Leon finally answered after a brief silence. His voice was the same, yet it projected a feeling that was wise and encouraging. He guided Will into the Tsukiko's chamber. He knelt on the floor, before the mirror. "We have retrieved the leaf with very little disturbance." Leon said restating old news. "The only problem was an old foe of Will's, a Doctor Rasako. But that ordeal was shrugged off with not much effort or damage." Leon turned his head to will for a moment. "Now in terms of the essence..." Leon lay his weapon on the floor. "Such and essence is so rare an ounce is at least worth a kings fortune. About a week's travel from here, on foot at least, there is a coast and harbor. There we can take a ferry ship to a group of islands controlled by a lord of great wealth. His name is Lord Leliense, or Lord Lilian as he is known by his people." Leon turned his head in the direction he spoke. "He should have what we are searching for, I know not how he came by it but it is key to our quest. Word of a rebellion forming on a lesser inhabited island on that group has spread among the islands." Leon nodded his head them both. "If we join that group and fell the empire, we will be able to take that for ourselves." Leon looked to both of them, waiting for a response.

As peace loving as Will was, he knew why rebelling was the only chance of getting an incense from Lord Lilian. He was a greedy kind who thought nothing of those lesser by as much as a penny. And if he met some person, place, or thing richer than he, he would thwart the most peaceful of them to obtain even the slightest amount of money and then crush any remaining beings who dared to continue living after having more money than him even for a second. 'I agree" he spoke suddenly. "On the condition that all of the money he has ever had or stole be given to those he stole from to help regain their population." he continued. His gaze didn't leave that of the reflection of the moon in the mirror. His eyelids began to droop as he kept himself awake. "But there must be more to it. We won't be able to start the war alone. We must convince other countries to rebel against him for a hope of winning." Will finished as he waited for someone to reply.

"Those people are probably dead." Leon said answering Will's first requirement. "But you are right, we need another sponsor..." Leon thought for a moment, then he sighed and looked out the window again, this time towards town. "There is a person who may be willing to give us some cavalry and extra soldiers. Captain Rovina." Leon thought that he would regret trying to receive help from the knight. "If we can appeal to the captain than he might help us, and possibly aid us in person." Leon stood up. "The next morn we shall go to the town and meet With Ravina. Then we will pack provisions." Leon began climbing out the window to the courtyard. "I will get Calor." Leon climbed down and walked across the area, then put his hand on Calor's shoulder. "Come inside, we have angered the Protoss enough." Leon turned to Azure. "I apologize for the previous actions, perhaps we may make peace later."

Azure looked at Leon "what your friend does not know is that we cannot leave, and we cannot return home." he said looking down and walking away "come observer."
Ob followed closely "shall we cloak?" he asked as he watched azure

"Wait..!" Tsukiko said. Her reflection had formed in full within the mirror, and she looked into Will's eyes, then Leon's. She look at them with eyes that said that there was something more.
"I have not heard about this rebellion, but I have heard of something..." she said, her wide teal orbs glowing at Leon and Will, even back at the protoss back in the hallway. "There is an old woman... I've only seen her a handful of times... maybe once or twice a year for the past five years. She comes in here occasionally during the daytime, unaware of my presence. She seems like a... well... not a witch, but more of a sorceress.... she... does certain things... like spells and stuff... but they're not normal spells. I think that she has the power to use her magic to tap into different dimensions. I saw her pass by out that window," she said, gesturing out the large gothic window through which the moon shone, "not two months ago. She disappeared, right in the center of that field... then she reappeared about twenty feet closer to the castle. She is definitely a sorceress, and I've seen her carrying several conspicuous items... There's a chance that she may have the incense required for the ritual. That would save you guys lots of trouble, for you wouldn't have to try and win over a whole army..."
Her expression, in the telling of this, had become less desperate and more reassuring. She just hoped that Leon and Will would give it a chance, instead of sticking with their ideas. Surely they might work, but Tsukiko thought that they should at least give this old woman a try.
There was just that time... I'm sure she saw me... I can almost recall the exact shape of her deep brown eyes; as though she could see right through that old man's spell... I swear she could see me... even though she was in the field below... Her brown eyes met mine; she certainly saw right through me. It was scary...
