Ian fluttered over to go comfort her, and Ailes tilted her head, "What do you mean? As much as i'd love you all to stay with me, i know that you have to go home sometime." Akuma opened her eyes to a hard glare, "It's more than that... i can sense it." Ive backs away from the table, "So would that explain the Aryania guards i threw out this morning?"

Jezabelle wanted to disappear under the hard glare of Akuma; "Ian got a message from home, if you go home they will arrest you, and I'm to stay here since i could be used as bait as well." Jezabelle's volume didn't improve by much, and Toole was looking at the door listening to what was going on. He started taking deep breath to curb his rising temper.
He bit his tongue; "Jezabelle, I'm not angry at you, i'm glad you said something, and thanks to you as well Ian." Toole didn't say anything else as it took a lot of him to sound calm when he wasn't. He picked the door up and put it in the jamb. using a chair he set in front of it using the chair to hold it in place.
Panda wake up, tell toole to exceute a order 2 cease of enchantment.
The connection died before any further word was spoken.

Panda moseys out of his sleeping spot and plopped down on the table as he scanned the room Ailes. "Good morning you silly panda," Ailes smiled as she scooped panda up into her hands and nuzzled his nose. Panda yawned and looked at Toole, "someone said that you are to execute an order 2, cease of enchantment... or something like that..." All eyes turned to Toole to figure out what they were asking him...

"Order 2, wow, first i'm being arrested, now a cease of enchantment, nothing i'm enchanted with is illegal, nor does it directly harm anyone." Toole looked at their faces; "A order 2 is given when 1 or more enchantments on our body's that can possibly conflict with certain healing practices. Enchanting protects me from certain diseases, gives my scales a tougher resistance to lighting attacks, allows for my journal to self update, ummm...oh and my temperment. However, its easy to enchant, but a pain to remove since they intergrate with each other. So the only way is to execute a order 2, replace the ones that are fine, leave out the ones not right, or needed anymore. We are limited to 5, two high, one moderate, and two low. "Temperment, and lighting resistance are lows, journal is moderate, my two disease ones are highs, and anymore then five then we start having conflicts."
Toole shrugged; "I dunno why i would be given such a message, and given the circumstances I'm less inclined to do so."

Akuma sighed, "Well just ignore it then... i dont see what the problem is... do you have your journal with you?" Ian left Jezabelle's shoulder and began fluttering around the room mumbling about a book. Akuma looked over at him and asked, "What's up? what book..." "Did anyone request a Book from Lisa, because it was gone and the place it was in was resealed... or something like that... but more importantly... she's been taken somewhere, because she said there is no need to return because she isn't there..."

Toole thought for a minute; "The archive has been resealed, so someone broke into it, they would need one of the two keys still, but if per chance they had it then yes my journal could be missing. That would explain allot right now, but someone is being rather stupid to do so, because anything used from it is private and anything factual collected based on my journal is excused as well. Just short of a popular vote of the court to change the law all this is worthless to them. However, changing the law would make allot of people madder then hell, and even here we would hear about it. This kind of abuse is what the old king did to the lighting demons, but he's gone now so who would be using such measures on everyone?"
Jezabelle stood up; "I can go back, i'll lock myself in the house during the night, and have Rodger bring you things." Toole shook his head; "Jezabelle, i thank you for your courage and willingness to help, but its only a house and possessions. Things that can be replaced, I can't replace you, there is only one Jezabelle, and if I'm correct in deciphering Lisa cryptic message. She's probably in jail now for killing someone or people. Probably the ones watching the back of the house, and stood to harm your tree Ian."
Jezabelle sighed; "I want to do something to help, anything, because sitting here worrying is not going to resolve anything."
'Well then head back with Ive, do what she tells you to the letter, and listen closely to the people that come through her place. People talk, and traders and tradesmen are coming and going from Arynia all the time to Rodasia. Focus on keywords of conversation to determine if its worth listening too. things like, treason, Arynia, dragons, issues, or our names if they come up during the conversation. Do not engage in conversation to get more, and if you think they know more." Toole pointed at Ive without looking; "You tell her, and she'll get the information from them. Under no circumstances do you put yourself in danger. If you can adhere to that, and if Ive is willing, that is the only way you leave this island without me, or Ailes with you at all times. Don't think I'm being hard on just you, because I'm not leaving this island except in the company of you, Ailes, Ive, Sorrow, Akuma, or someone who has my back that I trust."
Jezabelle sat back down; "I just wanted to help Toole."
Toole sighed; "I know, and your perfect since you have great hearing. I just don't want to see you get hurt by this mess." Jezabelle rubbed her cheek where Hiyru hit her for looking at him. She shuddered "i won't do it then, i'll stay here, because it will make you feel better. Just promise me we can go down to the city at some point."
Toole took a few deep breaths, too much of his anger seeped out in that exchange, and he sat down and answered with a nod.

Sinis stood up and did a bit of a stretch. He took the blanket and folded it nicely and placed it on the couch. He walked into the kitchen where Guen was preparing food. "I thank you for the shelter and company. I will be eventually departing into Rodasia's many caverns."

Guen looked up at Sinis with an odd look in her face, "Why, in Rodasia? wouldn't you want to go back to Draeutia with your people?" she sat at the kitchen table drinking her black coffee and pointed to a chair, "Sit... don't worry it won't break... i've reinforced it."

Akuma smiled, "Hey Ive... I'll take your place at the bar, and you take care of whatever you came here to take care of. She went up to her father's room and came downstairs in a pair of tight leather pants and a silk white tunic, "I know a thing or two about bar tending... just set me up a few good cooks and we're golden." Ive smiled, "Thanks dear, but it will only take a minute... i just have one thing to say to Ailes..." Akuma interrupted, "Well then when you're done with Ailes she can come down to the bar with me and be my waitress... and you can go to Arynia and be our ninja." Akuma tied her hair back with a silk bow and and added, "If you see my father... tell him to continue enjoying himself, but stay alert... i don't need sorrow getting captured... because somehow... she's usually the one to save my a**." Akuma then walked to the door and glanced back, "Ian, Stay with Jezabelle at all times... That is your main directive now. Ailes, i anticipate seeing you down in the inn in roughly a half an hour... As for you Toole... i don't think you want to sit here alone, so i'll probably end up seeing you down there too, but do your best to let Ive talk to Ailes alone... okay?" She walked out and headed to the inn. Ailes smiled and kissed Toole's cheek, "See you down there." she took her mother's hand and followed her upstairs to her father's bedroom. Ian sat down on Jezabelle's shoulder, "Do you mind if we go out to my tree before we leave... i need to make sure they have everything they need for a few weeks..."

Toole sat at the table alone as Jezabelle made to follow after Ailes and Ive, she caught up to them on the stairs; "Ive I will make this short, concentrate on Lord Hiyru, he brought the slave traders to Arynia, and he gives me chills." Jezabelle bowed and retreated down the stairs to head outside, she sat down besides Ian's tree, and looked at the ground. "I could have said something before everyone left, but if Toole's journal is indeed stolen, then it would put lisa and others at risk, and i may have just put them at risk again. I don't know, did I do the right thing by telling her Ian?"

Ian smiled, "I'm sure her search would have eventually brought her to him anyways... so if you ask me... I'd say you saved her some time." he jumped off her shoulder and poked the soil, "Can you go get me some water... enough to drench the soil... he's slightly parched." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once Ive got Ailes into her father's room she closed the door and opened the two windows. she looked out one and sighed, "This used to be my favorite view when i was pregnant with you; it's been a while since i've seen it." A tear came to her eye. Ailes joined her mother by the window, "So, what did you bring me up here for..." Ive took a deep breath and came inside. she took her daughter's hands and clearly indicating the ring that occupied her finger she smiled, "You love him very much don't you?" Ailes blushed and stuttered, "Y-yes... yes i do... does it bother you that he didn't talk to you." Ive smirked, "Not as much as it's going to bother your father, but..." she released her daughter's hands and walked back to the window, "Sweetheart... remember when you were a child and you asked your father what you were?" Ailes looked puzzled by the question but answered, "Well, sort of..." "Remember what he said?" "I was part Psychic and a lot of elf... just like you." Ive smiled and wiped around her eyes, "Sweetie... there is not a lick of Elfish blood in you... as much as i'd like it to be... it's not..." Ailes paled slightly, "Oh well... it doesn't really matter what i am..." Her mother interrupted her, "Yes, it does... Ailes, my father was a pure blood lightning demon from the delta of Arynia... he escaped from there because he hated how suppressive their laws were. he ran to Rodasia where he met my mother and became a very wealthy and powerful man." Ailes froze, "S-so... what are you telling me..." Ive stopped looking down and crying, and faced her daughter with an emotionless face, "Ailes, more than half of the blood pulsing through your veins is the blood of the lightning demons." She backed away from her mother and curled up in the corner of the empty room watching the silk certains dance in the wind. "I am telling you this, because now more than ever, you need to tell Toole... before the wrong people find out. I'll be down in the inn with Akuma, Jezabelle, and Ian... come join us when everything is settled."

Jezabelle nodded and returned into the house before coming outside with the loaded bucket and began to pour it softly so it wouldn't make the soil erode away. "I don't know how I will get you water for your tree in Arynia, because I don't think I'm allowed to leave Rodasia."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Toole cleared the table, and using the little pieces of wood from the trash bin with a little magic crafted the door jamb back to one piece. He set the nails back in place and opened and closed the door smiling a bit before closing and locking it. He returned to the sink and began to wash the dishes.

Ian smiled, "Lisa watered it before she left... wherever she went. I hope she's alright." Ian landed down by the trunk of the tree, "I'll be right back, okay?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ive came downstairs in a very shifty mood, "If Ailes doesn't come down in ten minutes go upstairs and check on her..." she walked outside and sighed as she looked at her surroundings, then made her way down to the inn. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ailes sat in the corner shivering in denial. she remembered that man she stabbed and killed; what if she was related to him? He could have been her uncle for all she knew... And how will Toole react... what if he doesn't want to be with her anymore... Should she give the ring back? she stood up and paced around the room spinning her engagement ring around her finger.
