Reaper would come upon the massive tree. Seeing how Ultima was out of it she would continue to hold onto him. Slipping her arm around his waist to make the trip upwards easier for him. It was a long gruishle climb but she made sure to keep her hold on him the entire time. Then they would reach the top where this rather nice looking house stood. It had been a while since Reaper last saw her home. She smiled to herself and lead Ultima inside her house closing the door behind them. Leading Ultima to the table and setting him down in a chair as she started to scramble through the cupboards.
"..when did this all start?"

Relaxed in the chair, he cleared his thoughts. As Reaper looked for something he took in the look of her house again before speaking. It was comforting, like home.
"I can not say how long, maybe two weeks or even a month. I found out about it only when she told me at a party a week ago. She slipped up wen she asked how my job hunting at the school was, The thing was I had not told her about it, she slipped up then and told me, I stormed out on her then and now I can't even tell you who is doing it for her."

Reaper frowned and closed the cupboards not finding what she was searching for. She would then start going through her shelf and suddenly pull out a thick very old black book and set it down on the table. Then she would go to the cupboards and prepare tea for the two of them.
"...there's got to be more then why she is doing this...." Reaper stated. "...there is a way to find the source of whom is doing such things for her..and there IS a way to block it so she or anyone else won't enter while your asleep....what she is doing is wrong. I have things in my mind she does not need to know nor deserve to know. Does anyone else know about this?"

"Wedsday seemed to be upset about something, I did some detective work and it seems he is pissed about this too. I'm not sure who else, but if there are ways to stop this or block it. I want in on .. " Ultima tried to finish talking but ended with a large
YAWN
Then, shaking his head to wake up he said. "What are you making?"

Reaper paused and frowned remembering the incident at the Women's Lodging when the two of them burned it down. She would push back her braid and start pulling out various herbs. Well...at least they know three people were against what Pale was doing. But..could she could THEY trust Wedsday enough? It was hard to tell with him.
"I'm making a sort of...potion you can say.." Reaper answered.
She would sit down and point at the book she had set down. "This is a Shadow Book...very old..very powerful.."
She would open the book and show him the old parchments of papers. They had to be over centuries and decades old. And the writing itself was in a completely different language all together.
"...this Shadow Book is what is going to make it possible for us to protect ourselves against what pale is doing.."

"Looks powerful enough, I can't read a thing it says." Ultima frowned at what was happening. It seemed the more people that joined the worse things got around here.
"Will it be hard to do? I can't stand this much longer. I'm going to start losing it if I can't sleep. My vision is going and my mind can't . . (embarrassing pause so he remembers what he was talking about)
. . .
focus" stressed

"...its written in a code..that sorcerer's and sorceress came up with..it was meant so that no one may read this book and find its secrets..unless of course you had one in your family and are taught to read such things..or your an Eternal..' Teresa explained.
Scimming through the pages and came upon the one that would help them. reading it fairly quickly before getting back up and heading towards the herbs. Snatching the ones she needed and then some kitchen items. Starting to slice and dice and squeeze some juice out of some of the herbs.
"..not hard at all...its like..making a batch of tea for an evening meal..but..we must keep this ingredient between you and I...if Pale or whoever is helpin' her finds out what we are doin'...they will counter it..and I'll most likely get into the sort of trouble that won't help us at all.." Teresa continued.
Taking the herbs she would slip them into the bowling water and then put in honey and natural sugar. So it would cover the bitterness it would've originally had.
"Don't worry, Ultima..the moment you take this you will be able to fall alseep...and no one would be able to enter..if they try they will find themselves with a rather BAD headache..that would last for three days..this could help us find out who exactly is helping her with it."

"So what are the adverse affects to me? I know there must be some. I'll be willing to help find this person, that goes without saying. I just wan't to know what I'm getting myself into."

Reaper was glad he asked that. She wanted to see if he was awake and alert enough to ask those sort of questions for her. Reaper would stir the potion up for a few minutes before letting it continue above the small fire. Walking back to the table and taking a seat across from him. Closing the Shadow Book.
"....the effects it will have upon you and me is......" Reaper paused for a moment before turning to him. "......Every time we take it..it draws us closer of never being able to wake up..that's why you take small amounts..."

"Sounds safe enough" a ray of sarcasm in his voice, quite unusual with his lack of rest.
Ultima moved himself abit in the chair, it seemed to be sucking him inward and he couldn't sleep yet. When he stopped he just stared into space, not at her, something had just dawned on him that had eluded his mind till now.
"Reaper" he said, looking at her at last. "Things are gonna get pretty dark around here pretty quick aren't they"

Teresa would look over at Ultima when he asked his final question. She wound push back her braid and smile over at him sweetly. before pushing up out her chair and back to the tea pot. It was done now. She would pur very little into each cup and hand one over to Ultima setting it upon the wooden table.
'....yes, Ultima...."

Ultima took the drink quickly, its hot and bitter taste traveled all the way down his mouth in one fluid movement. Then he looked over at her as he felt the magic in the tea take affect. He looked older then he usually did, his lack of sleep was showing its toll. His eyes kept closing, slowly gaining weight.
Sincerely he said "Thank you Reaper, I owe you one." he looked ragged, like a Man on his death bed, his eyes closed and he fell asleep for the first time in over 100 hours.

Teresa would stand up and hide away the potion and then her Shadow Book. She wasn't going to sleep yet. She still had a school to take care of for miss Morgan. So instead she grabbed hold of Ultima and managed to move him towards the guest room and put him in a proper bed. Then she would silently walk into the kitchen and start searching for the school papers and such she would need.

Ultima turned in his bed. He wrapped himself in blankets by turning around and fell into a deep sleep. He started to snore loudly, so loudly that Anyone in the entire house could hear it. He was not dreaming yet, he hadn't been sleeping long enough too. Soon though the real test of the tea would happen.

Reaper would then stop what she was doing and actually look at the house she was living in with Quils. He wasn't here....she wished he was. So that he could see his eyes and face..see him for the first time. Her eyes studied and searched the room slowly. As if she had never been within the house ever before. Her finger tips gliding along the walls and counters. Did this what it felt like to have a family to come back to?
