Edel had taken Xiao into the basement of her home with her as the Spectre took care of her (once again) uninvited guests. She of course couldn't just leave her other guests in the areas they were still in, but she'd have to make sure Xiao was safe and down here where she would be creating that new spell the Spectre wanted.
She was rather glad to see that her universal "map" spell was still up and running. She was getting rather tired of all these invited guests. She was ready to just locate any possible threat and giving them an unwanted greeting of her own.
As she made Xiao comfortable, a rather deafening explosion came from upstairs. Edel flinched at the sound, and let out a long hiss to try and control her growing anger. In her house.....in her HOUSE!
Making sure Xiao would be safe, she turned and stormed upstairs again. Trying to pinpoint where that explosion had....come....from....
....the room the three Fates were sitting in. One of the other creatures had slipped past and was attacking....
Glowering, Edel vanished from site.
EXIT Edel to SANCTUM SANCTORUM
Meanwhile.....in one room of the house
Reaper was getting agitated.
Cat had left quite some time ago. His mother didn't seem to be helpful with the "missing heroes" thing. There was something BIG going on upstairs, and she wouldn't let him LEAVE this stupid room.
"WHY...aren't you letting me go help?" he growled, sinking in the antique chair.
"Because you would be more of a burden then helpful." Edel replied. Plus....there was always the chance that he'd run into his father since he hadn't left yet either.
"And what is that supposed to mean? Some great deities are having a fist fight in the library or something?"Edel gave him a bit of a look.
"No. Beings that rip out people's hearts and kill them." she replied.
Reaper was quiet.
"Well then it's a good thing I don't have one.""But it's been coming back on occasion." Edel reminded him.
"And they would find a way to get it there again. Besides....with that logic, you're already dead. All they would need then is to slip a ring on your finger." she said, glancing at the door.
"No. You're staying in here. This room has enough....well what they would call "white light" enchantments that you should be safe."Reaper looked at her for a moment, then slid down in his seat further, looking away.
"....she's fine. I told you, she's in the Sanctum. Quit worrying about her. Your thoughts are quite tiring to listen to." Edel said, picking up her cup of tea to sip at.
Reaper sank even lower into his chair.
Meanwhile....in yet another room of the house
"Are you quite certain you don't want me to-" Blackstone began as he sat his cup of tea down on the cherry table in front of him.
"No." Edel replied, cutting him off.
"Stay in here until things calm down. There's no need for you to ruin your suit.""Well...at least your keeping busy with the lack of your international business." Blackstone grinned.
Edel smirked and glanced over at him.
"And you're doing next to nothing since you don't have your international business. Want to trade?"
