Amnity was still a bit hesitant. He...He didn't look like the Malcolm she knew at all! He had silver hair, different eyes, everything. She didn't say anything for the longest time, she just scanned him. It didn't seem like Malcolm...She was looking for the Malcolm that buried his nose in books, always explaining as much as he could like a college professor would. This person was like....An angel....Glowing....But not Malcolm. "...Changes?" She asked quizzically, taking another step back.

Malcolm smiled and took another step forward, being careful not to scare Amnity.
"Yes, quite a few changes. I entered a portal into the world between worlds, there I discovered a third world that we did not know about. A strange being appeared to me, as well as Damian, and I was told to make a choice. This is the result of that choice."

Belle listened to it all and got a bit angry with Zahzi. He wasn't getting any good information. Then she lied, and Belle caught her. So she knows then, she thought. Then Malcolm appeared. He called her Amnity. Belle's eyes widened at the sight of Malcolm.
She walked out of the shadows appearing only a few feet from the group. "********," she breathed. She shook her head and opened a portal, stepping into it. She appeared in the in between world. "Damian!" she yelled.

Amnity hesitated for a moment, thinking about this carefully. She doubted that this was a trick, and she knew that even if he didn't look like Malcolm anymore, it was still him. "....I...Suppose you're not lying..." The smile was similar, she knew that. She sighed, raking her fingers through her hair. She took out her black notebook and pen and began scribbling down a few more notes, about the 3rd world and Malcolm's change. "Life's never going to be normal..."

Malcolm smiled and stepped closer and put his hand on Amnity's shoulder.
"Life is about to return to normal, have no fear."
He watched Belle disappear into the portal and then turned back to Amnity
"But we have much to do before that day"
Damian was pacing the halls of the shadow world when he heard Belle's voice cut through the darkness. In an instant, he was at her side, dark eyes searching her form.
"Yes?" He questioned, "I take it it's important, seeing as as still do not have my book?"

Amnity shrugged a bit, mainly so he would get his hand off her shoulder. "Why do I feel like we're in too deep?" She shook her head, collecting her thoughts. "....What would you have us do?"

"No I don't have your book. I just know who all else knows about the tome. Only Malcolm and Amnity, the girl. They know everything. Then Tsuki and Zahzi don't know much but they hang with Malcolm and Amnity. Malcolm has the book and won't trust anyone enough to hand them the book. Amnity doesn't say much by what I heard. Zahzi thinks he's all that and Tsuki has anger management problems." She said it all quickly, waiting still she could yell.
"But before you say anything I want to know something. Why the ******** would you do that to Malcolm. Sure you don't like him but don't you remember what happened to Tom last time? You're cruel but you're not that low," she was getting desperate and she held back the tears. Tom had been her friend. Things hadn't gone well. Another reason she never erally trusts anyone anymore. "What I'm saying is that I'm done. FInd a new minion. I won't go against you but I'm not with you." She definitely felt better. Belle had finally said all she thought, and even though she knew what was probably to come it didn't really matter. She didn't really have anything.

Damian glared daggers at Amnity and walked forward until he was inches from her.
"I did nothing." He hissed, "That b*****d ascended, and now we have a serious problem on our hands."
He whirled around and began pacing again, regaining his calm.
"Alone, that boy could take down half of my army without breaking a sweat. But not me, he will need more than some flashy lights and magic tricks to take me down.." Damian was nearly talking to himself at this point, then it registered what Belle had said.
"What do you mean not with me?" He hissed, slowly turning around, "Tom was not my fault, he wanted what I offered, and he couldn't handle it." He stopped and looked deep into Belle's eyes, his own black eyes moving with liquid grace.
"You will go back, and discover what Tsuki is becoming, I fear that he grows to quickly. Malcolm gave him something, an artifact, along with a scroll containing a very dangerous spell, bring them to me."
With that, Damian disappeared in a flicker of air, leaving behind an icy wisp.
Malcolm looked deep into Amnity's eyes, his own reflecting a deeper sense of caring than any human had ever known.
"This war will cause much pain Amnity" he whispered, "Many lives will be lost, but know that I will keep you safe, no matter what."
He turned and walked several steps away, his arms clasped behind his back.
"I have discovered the location of the final tome" He said after several minutes, "And we have a slight problem."

When Malcolm looked into her eyes, Amnity tensed. She thought that she was going to get scolded, that she had done something wrong and he was going to correct her. But she saw something different, something so deep that she couldn't quite comprehend it. He suddenly seemed to have the power to calm her down, to relax her without even saying anything. When he made the promise, Amnity smiled. "....Now that's the Malcolm I remember...."
He said that he discovered the location of the final tome, and she was all ears. She took out her little black notebook and her pen, ready to write down whatever he said for later reference. He was right, this was a time of war, she had to be prepared. She realized that this is a matter of life and death to millions. "What's the problem?"

Malcolm turned around again, facing Amnity.
"The book is in the shadow world, protected by the T'u L'onu. A hundred thousand strong."
((Bedtime for me, I'll be back on bright and early tomorrow though.

Zahzi's head suddenly rose, hearing the 'A Hundred-Thousand Strong' part of what Malcolm was saying.
"You're...Going to need more than just the two of you..." he said with an excited smile.
His his head, the angels were singing...These were the kinds of jobs he didn't need to be paid for...

Amnity paused for a second, shocked at what she just heard. "A hundred-thousand?!" She gasped, no longer jotting down any notes. "That's....Against how many of us?!" She shook her head, then quickly put away her notebook and pen. "Malcolm....Isn't there any other way we could..." Amnity thought....Trying to come up with another way around it. A negotiation...Anything! "It's....Dangerous....Unquestionably dangerous..."

Malcolm slowly shook his head.
"I'm sorry Amnity, but the only way to do this is to fight them. Shadow's do not negotiate, and we both know how Damian would react. There is no other way."
He turned to Zahzi.
"I know what is going through your head right now, but you cannot accompany us. In you current state you would be able to do nothing, bullets cannot harm these creatures, no matter what enchantment you put on them"

"Us.....Us against a hundred thousand shadows Malcolm..." Amnity said, still not believing that she was saying. "....We need....All the help we could get...." She defended Zahzi, mainly because this was a time of war. "This....This is crazy..." She sighed. "But....If it's the only way..."

Malcolm sighed and closed his eyes.
"I know this, but I see no way that this man can assist us. The bullets in his gun might stop a vampire, but not these creatures."
He opened his eyes again and looked at Amnity.
"The only way he could be of any help is if he knew the ancient language, which he doesn't, and there is very little time."
