((Alex))
Naomi almost turned red. But she rested a hand on his shoulder as he rested.

Vix merely shrugged. "Yes, I know," she replied. "Call me an overprotective old hen, but I want to feel like my children can trust me. I'd like to know why Alexa felt she couldn't trust us with her reasons - whatever they were." Then she went pale. "Leon. Leon, you don't think--?"

SilentShadowDreamer "Hey now," said Vix immediately, pushing him lightly back down. "You're just like your father. You are not participating with a stomach wound, my boy." She smiled at Naomi. "You aren't either. If you can keep an eye on my wayward son, that would be appreciated, though."~ Aura watched her father leave. When she turned to her mother, she whispered softly, "Mom. I think there's something wrong with me."
Engela nodded. "Tell me about it," she said gently.
Slowly, hesitantly, Aura started to talk. About a voice in her head. About a power that she didn't recognize, that wasn't hers. About a strange affinity to storms that had nothing to do with her own magic. About blackouts, waking up to having done something or gone somewhere she didn't remember.
When it was all out, Engela remained silent. Stunned. How could this have been going on with Aura for so long without either her or Mathias noticing? How could they have let down their daughter that way?
"Aura," she said quietly, touching her daughter's shoulder, "we'll fix this. I promise." ((For Alexa, do you think Mathias could 'find' her and go to her, but she tells him to get lost and tell her folks she doesn't want to come back. Kinda a little 'fight' between the two perhaps, then he'll leave and carry out her wish)) Mathias had finished the potion. A loud bang and big pillar of red smoke rose from the liquid. Nodding, Mathias pulled out the crystal pendulum and dunked it in the liquid then held it over a map of the region. It touched in a dotted line from the village towards the desert. But at the point were, unbeknownst to him, Alexa was being carried, the crystal lost her trail. It found it again when they had stopped to set up camp. It pulsed in a soft red light, showing that she was resting there.Artemis and Einon raced to the woods. It was neck and neck until the last little bit. Einon released a burst of shadow energy at the same time Artemis sent out a water jet. They collided and rolled to the woods. When they sat up, they looked at each other and laughed, realizing it was a tie. "Pretty fast for a mortal, Artemis." "Didn't think I'd catch you, but that was GREAT!" "Yea. Anyways, let's spar a little." Artemis nodded and spun his staff, creating an ice sword. Einon drew his sword, creating a shadow aura around it. They held their swords together than began their battle, their skills pretty even. Einon didn't tap into his vampiric speed or strength cause it wasn't something he wanted to do with a human.

Kirra watched Alexa as she slept, her eyes darting infrequently to the landscape around them, though the wards she had set up would alert her as soon as anything with harmful intent crossed them.

((OOC: @Scn: Well, if you really want to have them interact, I guess we could, although you'll have to account for Kirra and the fact that Alexa doesn't know Mathias.))
Alexa stirred a little after several hours and opened her eyes. "Kirra?" she mumbled. " 'S'it my turn yet?"
~
Engela felt it when Mathias succeeded in tracking Alexa. But much as she wanted to help Vix find her girl, she couldn't help but feel that their own daughter should come first.
Mathias, she called, come down. Aura and I need to speak with you.

Alex's dreams consisted of his sister and his worry for her he hoped she was safe he thought about the war and how unglorious it really was he wondered where Artemis was what if in that battle that had taken place here in town Artemis had died before Alex got here he was confused and befuddled but above all else he wanted to stop the shadow that was approaching

((All good, the confrontation could be while Kirra is sleeping should she post it.))
Mathias heard the call of his wife in his mind. He made a couple small notes on the map and put the pendant down. Walking swiftly down stairs, he entered the living room and sat down next to Engela, sensing that it was the better spot, so as to not 'confine' Aura between them. "So, do we have a diagnoses, Dr. Mom?" He smiles and laughs to show he is teasing and winks at his daughter.

Aura looked up at her mother, too, looking barely hopeful.
"Yes," replied Engela simply. She wondered how he would take it. Of course, knowing him, he probably knew as well as she did what the matter was and was just waiting for her to say it.
"Aura is possessed, and may have been all her life," she finished bluntly. "Although I'm not sure why, I think I have an idea who it is."

Naomi continued a small smile, but she grabbed a pillow and replaced herself with it as she stood. She walked over to the window to gaze out of it, and to see the damage of the previous attack.

"Not yet, though it almost is if you want to sit up with me while we wait for it," Kirra said with a smile.

Alexa's smile was slow and oddly sweet. "I don't see why not," she replied, crawling out of the tent and shaking back her hair. Sitting cross-legged beside Kirra, she stared up at the sky for several minutes. Then she asked quietly, "So why did you decide to do this? Come out and look for immortality, I mean."
