 Allistair
Before Allistair could deal with Dev, Jake was dropping down on them and rendering Dev uncosncious. That was enough to annoy him, but what happened next hit him harder than Jake ever could. He felt the hit to Hal, felt the damage it caused. Even with Allistair's ability to heal, the damage was too much. Hal would die, and he couldn't prevent it. Allistair suddenly appeared near Jake and Esabel, his expression a mixture of pure rage and horrible despair. The shadows around him formed into weapon after weapon, each of them being thrown toward Jake. It wasn't likely that they would hit, but they may be enough to get his attention.

Esabel did her best to fight Jake off but knew that she was fighting a lost cause. She fought off his blows but knew each one was a bad hit. Thanks to her knowledge of anatomy, she knew more than most. She could see her death coming. Then Allistair started throwing shadow-weapons at her attacker and she got hit by one of them, something sharp that stuck badly into her shoulder and knocked her back. Then Hal... the only human who had ever treated her like she wasn't something to fear... The one who had given her lessons on eating right at the table, dressing tips, and showed her who to talk to for other tips on living better around others... Hal moved in to put himself over her during the distraction. She watched it happen from her place on the ground. She watched a hit that couldn't have been stopped. She watched the light finally fade from Hal's eyes and let out a soft whimper...

Jake had the end in sight. He pulled his fist back to deliver the final blow... A weapon appeared in his targets flesh. That was when he sensed the other shadow weapons. Jake flipped backwards into the tip of a sword, shrinking as he was absorbed into it. Then like a nightmare, he crawled up and out the back of Allistar's shirt. One hand made to hook around the man's chin, while the other cupped the back of his head. Jake then moved to break his neck. If, he succeeded in grabbing, and then breaking the man's neck. He would then yank the head in the other direction hard, before removing the head entirely. If, not, then he would roll out, and attack again.

Allistair
The moment Hal died, Allistair reacted the only way he could think of. He touched Dev's mind and sealed away every memory the WereTiger had of his Master. And then he removed the portion of his soul, returning the piece of Dev's that he had taken. He didn't struggle as Jake appeared and moved to break his neck. Instead, his eyes focused on Esabel. "Take Dev and run, you stupid girl!" he hissed. "Don't think. Just go!" Those were his final words, as Jake broke his neck a moment later, granting him the death he wanted. Without Hal, he couldn't bring himself to want to live anymore. Death was the most merciful thing for him now.

Esabel reacted to the command she'd been given. Well, her power did. The dark energy simply pulled her and Dev away, simply sucked them both into the ground. One tendril of that energy then swirled around and hit Jake full in the chest and carried the souls of Hal and Allistair into him. Well, slammed them into him. It wasn't a painless rebirth into full Reaper. In fact, it was probably quite the opposite. But the one he was after was now gone...

Jake twisted the head, and then removed it from the man's shoulder's. HIs crimson staring at the vanishing Esabel. This was not a normal Reaper, his emotions were plain on his face. His eyes shown with a fiery hate, and his lips curved into a small sarcastic smirk. He lifted the head above his own, tilting his head back to let the blood drain down his throat. His feasting was interrupted by the painful lash across his chest. Two soul's entered his being, and fused themselves with his own, soul. Jake felt fine at first, then his body began to wither in pain. A howl of anger tore itself from his throat. The sound never ended, as if the wielder had an unlimited air supply. Though slowly, and steadily the tone dropped. Every passing second brought the howl to a deep growl, not until like that of Banshee's wail, but far deep, like the crumbling of mountains. Jake savagely beat at the ground with his fist, as pain plowed planting fields within his head. Then just like that, all feeling left him, and he sank into a deep sleep. [Exit]

It took several hours for someone to come into the area. A guard who had a little bit of leisure time and had come here for a private swim. But what he found there made him go pale as he took it all in. The picnic set out. The impressions in the sand. And the bodies. Just about everyone knew who Hal was and would be mourning his passing. They'd also mourn the passing of Allistair. But this guard had known of their intention to come here for a picnic with their tiger shifter. It took a bit more looking at the impressions in the sand but he finally identified where Dev had fallen then disappeared. Hal's body looked as if it had fallen onto someone else and the sand indicated that he'd staggered over to land right there on his own. Allistair had obviously been beheaded, Hal's cause of death was both easier and harder to find: a blow to the head followed by a fist to the back of the neck that had snapped the bones. The guard hesitated a moment then left on the run, moving as if all the demons of Hell were on his a**. He had to tell Lily about this!

Nalyne lead Lily and Lucy past the guard who was now standing at the entrance of the swimming area, keeping everyone else out of it. He took in the scene carefully, reading everything from it that he could. But when he got to Hal's body he froze, not liking what he'd read. He turned back to Lily and moved over to her fast, "Someone attacked Esabel. She survived thanks to Hal and Allistair. But she's now missing along with the tiger. However she got out, she took the tiger with her. They survived this, Princess. They're alive somewhere," he told her firmly, needing her to understand the important part of the whole thing. He kept looking into her eyes, letting Lucy look around at the scene as she wished, "I don't know where she would have gone, though. I don't really know her yet. You do. I need you to think, beautiful, to use that delightful brain of yours and think of any place she might have gone. Only she can tell us who is responsible for this," he added and gently caressed her cheek in an attempt to help her focus.

Lily and Lucy
Lucy looked around the swimming area for a moment. Her eyes stopped when they found Allistair's head. She moved closer to examine it, not quite believing her eyes. "What the hell?" she asked, clearly stunned. "What the hell was he doing here? It shouldn't be possible for him to be here."
Lily took in the scene with a stoic expression. "If they died to protect Esabel, we'll need to ensure that they are honored properly," she said. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she thought about where Esabel would've gone. "I can think of several places she would have gone. Her room, her playroom, the Pillow Room. Those are the ones that come to mind the fastest."

Nalyne gave Lily an encouraging nod, "Alright then. Send guards to check in those places first," he told her, letting her give the actual orders while giving her something to do. Then he heard what Lucy had to say and turned to her with a frown, "Speak what you know, Lucy. How do you know him?" he asked her simply, knowing he'd need all the information he could get to solve this one.

Lily and Lucy
Lucy looked over to Nalyne with a confused expression. "It doesn't make any sense, but this man was our father," she said. "I watched Ren and Gin stab him in the chest twenty years ago. He couldn't have survived." She frowned as something occurred to her. "What name did you say he was going by?"
Lily started giving the guards orders to check the places she had listed. She looked back over to Lucy and Nalyne. "We should also see if she went to find Ilea," she said. "That's a pretty good possibility."

Nalyne shook his head slightly, "His name was Allistair. I think he simply took over your father's body when he died," he explained to Lucy then put an arm around Lily's waist as she came over to them. He nodded at her suggestion and motioned for another guard to go find out where Ilea was. Admittedly, he could track Ilea easily with nothing more than a thought, but he was trying not to do such things with the created sisters. He was trying to prove his good intentions to Ilea, after all. "We'll find Esabel, Lily. I promise you that. But you may have to explain who Esabel and Ilea are to your sister here. I would do so but it isn't my place right now. I haven't even told Esabel who I am yet, only Ilea. And I'm still waiting for her to figure out what to do with me," he told her softly then turned to Lucy. "You need to tell Lily about Allistair. The both of you have to let go of the secrets of the past in order to go forward. You need each other right now more than you know. Now I'll go and organize a few things with the guards. You two need to work this out and you need to do it now," he told them both firmly then gave Lily a kiss to her temple and moved off to talk to the guards.

Lily and Lucy
"Figures that the b*****d would find a way to escape and steal my dad'd body," Lucy grumbled. She looked at Lily amd sighed a bit before they began to talk. They explained things to each other that they felt the other needed to know. By the time they got word of where Esabel was, they had managed to deal with most of the issues they had. They returned to Nalyne. "Ready to go get Essy?" Lily asked him.

Nalyne gave a nod as he looked the sisters over, finding himself pleased that they'd worked through things. There was alot more he could have said but he took Lily's hand in his instead, "Yes, let's go get your other sister and take care of her and that tiger. I've already made arrangements for Allistair and Hal. Both are being given full honors for protecting Esabel as best as they could," he explained to Lily then escorted them both to find his wayward niece....
