"Right, I get that, but how?" Ivan noted Emma's hands and his glare narrowed. If they were going to hurt Zach then he would tear right back. Despite common belief Ivan had grown attached to Zach, and not just literally. While he was unsure of the Lord he felt that he could at least survive long enough to get out of the library and make it a more level field.

There were a great many things both of them could do to Ivan without even touching Zach.
None of them were very nice.
"With an orange and several copies of Sense and Sensibility, what else could we possibly use?." Emma cut in, sarcasm dripping from her words. "Surely there isn't anything else we have at our disposal."

"No one likes a wise-a**, Lady of Bainbridge," Ivan focused his glare on her. "You're human. And you're not nearly as strong as you were yesterday. Now what is this process going to entail?"

Emma smiled wickedly. "Oh, I may be weaker-"
"But I am not." he finished, taking a step towards Ivan. "The process is a series of spells, over and done with in an hour's time."

Ivan eyed the lord and knew that if he couldn't fight him then he might as well just remain quiet. After all, Ivan was mean, rude and disdainful to nearly everyone he knew. One thing he was not was stupid. He retreated into Zach's mind and allowed control once again to the phoenix.

The sorcerer stepped back, still watching Zach like a hawk.
Emma leaned against him, joyful that even her weakened senses could still detect his aura.

"I wonder if you could do something about him while you're at it," Zach muttered angrily as she massaged her temples. She had not heard what Ivan said and did not know that he had actually threatened the lord and lady in their own domain.

"Nothing that wouldn't damage you beyond repair, unfortunately." he replied. There was a crash from above their heads, and the sound of shouting.
"They're here! Search the estate, find them!"
Emma moved to weave a spell and found her power blocked. She looked up and found her Lord holding her magic back. "You will not be putting yourself in danger in your condition." He looked over at Zach, giving her a courtly bow. "I'll be back."
With that, blue light streaked with silver gathered around him and he was gone.
A careful observer would have noticed tiny threads of black in his magic.
Tiny, but there.

"Emma, what's going on," Zach turned to Emma with a worried expression. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
She was an accomplished fighter and she did have phoenix fire, after all.

The enchantress tried to teleport out again, and found herself blocked. "An attack."
The shouts had stopped. There was eerie silence above them, punctuated by a single set of footsteps.
Power flared.

Zach's eyes widened when she felt the power. She did not have the same sense of magic as most people did but this felt like gravity was becoming stronger around her.
"Wow."

"Indeed." Emma could feel the spells being cast and they were...creative, to say the least.
A steel blade rang out as it swung through the air.
"And that's somebody trying to decapitate him."
She giggled.

"So this kind of thing happens often," Zach asked. She noticed that since Emma couldn't be there she had switched emotions from worry and anger to glee.

"Unfortunately, yes."
The hiss of steel had ceased, and a broadsword materialized in Emma's hands, not of her own volition. Above it, sketched in blue light were the words Another one for your collection.
"Besides, he lets me keep their swords."
She had quite an impressive stock.

"Oh, wow, what a nice-looking blade," Zach's eyes widened at the blade. She collected weapons along with various magical artifacts.
"So I guess he's okay after all," Zach looked up again. "Crazy kinda power he's got, that husband of yours."
