Knock knock...
No answer. It was not that he was not there, but he did not know of these customs where people knock before entering. He sat at the table in the guest room, with a stick of burning inscents, unmoving from his place.

She waited. A few seconds. Nothing happened.
For no real reason she pulled down the handle and found the door unlocked: the smell of those incense sticks as well as a known, slight chill greeted her when she slowly opened the door to peek in.
"Good morning..." Was he meditating? Or dozing?
"Do you mind me coming in? I'd like to talk to you."

He did not say anything, the mask upon his face made sure to hide any indication whether he was awake or meditating. However, in response to her quiestion, his right arm raised up, and his hand palm up, went to his side, as if directing the woman to take a seat at the table, the closest thing to an invitation he had even given anyone.

Maximos :: Oh he was close. Close enough that you could feel his breath drawing in even if he was invisible. Madi might even notice the amount of snow being pushed back by the flap of his powerful wings as he gained momentum. And see the score marks of his blade missing in the snow. As Madison careened to the doors, strangely they had already began to open. And as moved to punching him, the audible sound of footsteps growing closer from behind her became clear. He had no reason to fly, he could walk. There was silence for a few moments as the doors continued to creak open. They were quite heavy, and thusly moved quite snow thanks to the morning frost. She spoke but the poor person was locked in a fearstruck gaze at what was happening.:: Bam! ::Madisons paw slammed into the door. And the footsteps drew closer.:: BAM! ::Madisons paw slammed again, and you could footsteps grew even closer!:: BANG! ::Her fist impacted the door, just as it reached just open enough to fit a small person, but not.:: RIP! ::Rip!? Yes rip, as a large hand of some giant beast reached through the opening in the door and grabbed Madison, and thusly the person she was carrying at the same moment and pulled them into a pitch black room, just as the door slammed shut with a thunderous boom.:: SHINK!...clink. ::Was heard as if some large blade slammed into the steel door, and was jerked out. And then silence...for all of 10 seconds before the voices began in the dark.:: Maxvell! Emergenzy room immediately! Keep zhe preszure on his ribs! Go!::There was a pause.:: ....Very good little rabbiton. Very good.::A group of shuffles were heard and a light whirring as a pair of footsteps ran off in a distant direction, taking the "Patient" from Madison's grip. Again there was a moment of silence before Madison was attacked! Some soft warm creature who smelled a bit like formaldahide grabbed her and squeezed oh so hard with its thin arms, and then spoke.:: You did it! Madi you did it! I'm so sorry we had to ignore you but no one wants to go out on rescue duty the first time...but you did it! I'm so happy you made it back!::Alright, so maybe it wasnt an attack as much as it was a hug. And maybe it wasnt a monster as much as it was Mary. But thats beside the point... Mary was just very happy to see her right now, and to hug her. And Marcel...well he did his "Marcel" thing.:: ~~~Meanwhile~~~ ::300ft outside the tower, a mulititude of emotionless voices echoed as one, as they spoke to what seemed to be the wind.:: Yes...yes as you predicted she only needed proper motivation. No. I left no evidence. Yes. The 7th Division of the 1st Judas Sect is now active. I will. As you wish.((Yay for posts from the Comp Lab! xd )) She remained rather stunned, not exactly clicking in to what was going on. Her crimson red eyes fell focused back into reality to see Mary in the face. A smile formed as she was returned back to hugging her corpse like friend. "It's good to see you too Mary" smiled Madison with a cheer in her voice but it was soon broken by the sound of a cough leaving her lips. It hurt to breathe, but not as much as it did originally when she came to the hospital in the critical condition as the patient she had brought in. Once realeased from Mary's strong firm grip the young rabbiton noticed something on her shirt. It was frozen and a dark colour that made her black top darker then before. She wondered curiousily at what it was that lurked on her shirt. Then it hit her, the pure liquid of blood rested on her body which caused her eyes to widden slightly at it. Was she the one that was bleeding? Goodness she could only hope she wasn't. A cough left her slender lips slightly which sounded hoarse and sharp like a piercing knife digging into her throat. "Hey Mary...Got anything for this cough?" ((Short and Lame...got to love it))

Silver would have noticed the figures on the horizon, but he was far more interested in the monstrosity carring off what looked to be his body. He closed his eyes, the grin no longer on his face. After a brief moment, he looked at his hand, back down to his 'body', and then at his hand once more.
Is that truly my body. Is this my spirt? Am I... no, I couldn't be.
Silvers eyes flashed open, and his hand cletched into a fist in front of him. He stared into the pulsing scythe, feeling a strange force. Pushing the thought out of his mind, he looked the 'man' in the eye and spoke.
"Heh... I'm ready for anything."

Pushing the thought out of his mind, he looked the 'man' in the eye and spoke. "Heh... I'm ready for anything."::Its amazing how time flies when your outside of time and space and drifting in the ether. It takes a while for the dead to realize they're actually dead, and those hours...years...millenia...can pass like a few minutes. None of that really mattered. Right now their was a large cloaked figure lifting up his scythe, rearing it back and swinging it without a the slightest hint of delay or remorse. Seconds probaby felt more like minutes as the blade carved a black swath through the air and flew towards Silvers head when...:: Ba-bump. ::His heart! Silvers heart made a single beat. And the blade came to a dead holt...just close enough to give Silver a slight shave. But then all went cold again, the dark figure reared his scythe back and prepared to take another swing.:: Ba-bump! ::Silvers heart beat again! Now this wasnt to be confused with a simple heart beat, this wasnt a palpatation of the chest, this beat shook through his spirit as a whole as if it was trying to pull him away.:: You are not ready...we will meet again. Soon...::The cloaked figure placed his scythe beside him yet again, and began to walk away as a deep warmth began to rise in Silvers chest. It was like a ball of pressure building in the core of this spirit form before suddenly...:: Bu-BOOOM! :: The vision of being sucked forward through a thin tunnel filled his minds eye. The icy cold surrounded him, as his view faded to black. Entirely black. Life.... His heart, his hands, his fingers he could feel them all again...but barely. And there was a strange noise in the distance which was slowly becoming more audible.:: Mmmmphmmm mhmm hmmfvhmmm anummmagic treament. Zhis is good. It lookz like he iz avake.::Two slits came into view followed by the realization that those slits were infact Silvers own eyes opening to reveal a dank dark room. The smell of mildew...and rust filled the air, and a few dull spotlights revealed a few figures standing in wait. Directly next to Silver was a man in a stained white trenchcoat, his arms were folded, and his green eyes stared down at silver from behind a very strange pair of glasses. The oddity of the glasses only being matched by the strange way the mans red hair seemed like it was blown forward and the to left constantly. It wasnt moving, it just seemed to be "stuck" in that position. Very odd indeed. As his vision cleared he would see the man appeared to be in his early 40's a few wrinkes were scattered here and there and were most visible as he spoke.:: Vhell Majik...vhy do tresspass on my land...?::This was not a friendly welcoming tone. This was on gaurd, annoyed tone. The sort of tone given by a person who sees you, but truly doesnt want to see you. As he spoke, something moved in the background through the shadows...something never fully in the light, but obviously something very...very big.::

Dark Conspiracy "Hey Mary...Got anything for this cough?" ((Short and Lame...got to love it)) ::She grabbed Madi's hand and walked off toward the elevator. While she meant the best for the little rabbit her suggest was also the healthiest. The person Madi saved wouldnt be up and about for a quite a while and after all that time in the snow she needed rest. Mary pressed the appropriate floor number and waited. This time she would make sure Madi was in her room, and in bed before leaving. A hospital is no place to get sick in!::

That was the wierdest sensation. It was almost as if he was brought back into the realm of the living, though Silver was unsure that he left in the first place. Whether the events that happened were in the etherial realm, whether spiritual, or he was truly dead at that moment in judgement, there was no mistaking that...
Whatever just happened was no illusion. That was real.
He tried to slowly sit up, and looked at the... strange man. Upon hearing his annoyed voice, Silver immediatly became alert. Something about his voice told him that he was unwelcome. Silver didn't have to think hard at all to figure things out. The impending darkness, the magic null zone, either this man was protecting this place...
...or he was extremly paranoid. Either way, this couldn't be too much of a good thing for Silver, being a powerfull magic entity himself. Sighing softly, he looked the man in the eye as he spoke.
"I had no intent on intrusion, sir. I was meerly 'lost', for lack of a better term, and got cuaght up in a powerful blizzard and null magic field... which I thank you for removing me from."

Silver Moonblade "I had no intent on intrusion, sir. I was meerly 'lost', for lack of a better term, and got cuaght up in a powerful blizzard and null magic field... which I tha--" ::He cut him off quite rudely. This is about the time the loud whirring sound came into focus. It wasnt loud enough to overpower conversation, but it definately had enough volume to be heard almost constantly.:: Your are in zhe dead center of zhe field. A field meant to keep out your kind...You are in zhe Black Hozpital, Prizon Cell Block 42, you have been inject vith AAS 42. ::The Doctor held up a vial of silvery liquid and placed it on a nearby table beside the hard metal slab Silver was laying on.:: It has nuetralized zhe majik choking your life, for now. Give me von good reason vhy I should not let zhe serum vear avay and vatch you choke and die...I'm sure anozher uzeless mage, vill not be mizzed.::I think that just about covers the Doctors feelings on the magic. Granted, it was a cold and harsh thing to say, but when it comes to this subject he happened to be very cold, very harsh, and very serious.::

Kraun He did not say anything, the mask upon his face made sure to hide any indication whether he was awake or meditating. However, in response to her quiestion, his right arm raised up, and his hand palm up, went to his side, as if directing the woman to take a seat at the table, the closest thing to an invitation he had even given anyone. Lucind realized that his presence caused her to act rather quiet and without any hasty movements, when she walked over to the table and sat down. Wisps of smoke curled around them. The woman fell silent until she made up her mind. It would be the best to speak straight and explain why she was here. "The abbot told me that there's little left what the monks can teach you. He asked if I can take you with me for I know you...sort of. I pondered on it. Now I'm here, which means I'm willing to do it." Her eyes wandered to the slits in his mask. "Would you like to come with me to learn some more about this world?"

The monk did not do anything for a moment, remaining quit as he seemed to take a moment to put words together, unuse to conversations, no matter how short. At last, he made his answer, turning his head slightly in Lucind's direction as if to look at her through the slits of the mask, slits which seemed to take away the effect his eyes had on people.
"If it is true that there is much more to learn, and the icey wastes are only a small part of the world, then I will go with you." He answered quietly, his voice muffled by the mask to a soft tone.

Another moment of silence before she nodded. It was a strange scene, it's atmosphere not unpleasant, though.
"Okay... - We'll leave in an hour."
With a faint smile she stood up to walk back to the door where she turned around to glance once more at him before she went to the abbot to tell him the monk would come with her.
After having a light breakfast she visited the hot spring for a second time and literally purred when sinking into the water.
It was really handy the Half-Siren could make the water trickling off of her skin and hair if she wanted to, to cause a repelling effect, so she could directly get dressed.
After calling for Kraun she walked to the monastery's exit where Hul arelady waited.

Kraun moved through the monastery at his usual slow and flowing pace, following the woman's footsteps with his arms hanging at his sides, ever silent. Hul however did not like the idea of travelling with him, always getting that nervous feeling, but kept quiet about it. He figured that as long as the darkly clad monk was gone, he'd be happy, so he could endure this short journey.
Just like the day before the wine tasting event, they travelled through the tundra with Hul as their guide, seemingly unable to keep his mouth shut as he continued to talk about this and that. It seemed to him that talking always made the journey seem to go by quicker.
As they entered the fishing village in the late afternoon, close to the evening, the same yacht was waiting for them to take them back. Only this time, Hul would stay in the village for the night and Lucind and Kraun would be travelling inside the yatch.
