Finding two who are technically my sisters in my office, where I have paperwork stacked a mile high...literally, sometimes...looking at a soul report...yeah, that was a shock....but I should have expected it....I knew the passage in the wardrobe was there...it's what I used to anchor us...that's the whole reason for it....with that passage, I am able to anchor our timelines to each other...now, a day in my Void is a day here...not ten years...

Emnast cracks an eye in surprise. "That's convenient. Not a bad idea as well. Ye were only gone a few days yer time but years went by on this end. And now that the girls will probably age more normally seeing as they are in their true form, this could prove important. Have ye seen their wings yet? Interesting things they are. Like Ai and Bez they can will them into being. But unlike their parents, they have vestigial wing buds even when they are not manifested."

Makes sense...if they drew on Tam's shapeshifting ability, then they too would have lost theirs....and I can't restore that....It was taken away by a perturbed Immortal....one even I can't cope with...and no way am I piping another complaint into his ears...

"Makes as much sense as any... I suppose. So... how long are ye staying this time? From what I gather... that boy of yers has lessons he needs to attend to." says Emnast with a grin. "How's he coping anyway. He doing okay?"

Seems to be...I made a huge mistake earlier with him...but other than that, we seem to be fine...and he does have lessons, but we need to break the news to him that he's a Watermage first...he firmly believes that someone will come, take him away from me, and leave a coin on his pillow as payment, if he has magic.

Emnast sighs. "Some cultures do that ye know... separate the mage from the non-mage... some out of fear, others because the mages feel superior... either way, it is damned nonsense. Though I do understand the reasoning of most... removing a child until he or she is trained enough to live among the common folk without endangering them."

Except he's terrified that they will come for him, no matter that I'm one of the most powerful mages alive....so I have to find some way to break the news to him without making him panic.

"Simply tell him the truth... that there is no one left to come after him. This may be one time ye need not soften the blow, Luciel. And... in a way, it may help him come to terms with what happened. I did a bit of scrying. His world was... for the best part... wiped, but I think you knew this. I'd be more worried about those who sent them to fetch him... if indeed he was the target. But if he was by some twist of fate, extremely fortunate to have survived at all... he needs to know that, too. I'm sure some of his people remain, somewhere... but their homeland has been reduced to empty, fly infest villages... one and all. No one is going to be tracking him down because of his magic... trust me." says Emnast in disgusted tones.

Understood....and I need to have words with a certain god about that....*Notes Em's look*...words only, no violence involved...I just want to see whether or not he sanctioned this...or if it was a corruption of his word...I doubt even Garagos would go that far.
*Sighs*
And I need to track down the rest of his kind...Em...do you know what my real job is? Even more important that sorting souls?

"Garagos, huh? Don't put it pass him... that one is a nut case, even for a divinity... if a serpentine accidentally soiled the floor of one of his temples I could see him wiping them from the face of existence quite easily. Be very very careful confronting that one, please.... very careful."

Immortal I may be...but I wouldn't put it past him to try to end me, either...thank goodness he doesn't wield you-know-what, or I'd already be screwed...but I have to do my job...I have to maintain the balance, and to protect the worlds.
**Yep...the true job of a Voidmaster...maintain the homeostasis of souls, and protect each world from major shifts**

Emnast sighs. "I know... but once an egg is broken, no power save one can restore it and that power has not stepped in... it may be that this was decreed eons ago... or he's decided to fill the void left by their passing in other ways. I wish I could help ye, but... it's out of my league, little brother. Good luck to ye."

Thanks...I'll need it....Tell Pasa I love him when he wakes up, okay....I need to start looking for Garagos...I'll be back by 9 AM, though...on my word.

"Be careful, Luciel... seriously that god is insane... literally... and it is only his insanity that keeps him from being truly evil. To make a choice between good and evil, one must be capable of making a choice... he isn't..." says Emnast in a worried voice.

I know, Em...I know....*Pulls a familiar blade out and straps it across his back*....and If I must do it, then I shall....I don't relish taking a life...but I must protect the Homeostasis...and if Garagos is threatening it, then I will do my duty, no matter how little I relish the task.
