Melethia came back to the attic. She had heard the galdr. It soothed her a bit.
"Father Renault. Here." She showed him a light tome. "It was given to me by one of the greatest people I know from my world. She was a holy woman. She gave me this light tome as a gift before she was killed. It can be of more use to you than me."
(I've g2g my brother wants on.)

Tibarn woke up sharply and growled, glaring at the door. "Yeah, yeah, right... God of Chaos, gonna kill us all'a sudden. You two don't have something better to do than mess with people trying to sleep?" he called out, and then he pulled the covers up to his chin and settled back down to try and sleep again.
His ear twitched at the sound of the galdr as he slept, and he murmured, "Join... b'loved... moon... rivers and streams..."

"We're serious!" Amelia shrieked. "Leander got pulled into the door and disintegrated because his magic was taken from him! Tibarn, why would we make this kind of thing up? This isn't a joke!" Amelia kicked the door once with a loud grumble. For all the things... to think it was them messing with him...

Blackness engulfed Amelia and Rhys as Loki's rage descended upon them both, leaving the two of them to collapse on the floor together. Out of the inky dark stepped Loki himself, a terrifying cloaked figure wreathed in wind and flame. He spoke, but his words passed by their ears and entered their minds directly.
"Thou who defy me shall pay for thine insolence. Thine actions have sealed thy fates. Fear the shadows and the light, fear the wind, fear the night, beware thy pleasure, embrace thy pain, one day I shall come again...
"But not today... Mark thy days, thy time is short."
His lingering threat hung in their minds as the blackness retreated from their eyes. They were safe from his wrath... for now.

He looked over at Loki, "Hey, you wanna be sleeping buddies? You can call top bunk."
Crab Nicholson nodded.

Fear gripped at Amelia's heart. One second, she was standing in front of Tibarn's door, yelling at him to get up and out of bed, and the next, something seemed to practically crash down on her from the inside, and she was on the floor, out cold.
The voice ringing in her thoughts send a shuddery cold down the length of her spine. She couldn't have been out for more than five seconds, she was sure, but that voice echoing in her mind, the cloaked figure of the dark god himself... when Amelia was able to open her eyes, it took everything she had to keep from screaming. She sat up shakily, trembling violently.
"Thine actions have sealed thy fates..." Amelia looked over at Tibarn's door silently, biting her lip. She didn't so much as touch it.
Tibarn, please, at least come outside so someone else can talk to you...

Tibarn scowled, dragging himself to the door after pulling on some pants, and wrenched it open, grumbling, "You're saying a God of Chaos is coming here, to kill us, and Leander's dead." He blinked slowly, reaching up to rub his unshaven chin. "And you think that it matters two shits if we run from a God of Chaos? If he was gonna kill me, I don't think I could run away from a God. And so, you know, I'd rather be asleep when-- never mind. Why aren't we dead yet?"
Sleepy Tibarn is grouchy.

Amelia pulled herself to a standing position as Tibarn opened the door. She paused. What... would it matter if we ran? she thought to herself. Amelia stared at Tibarn, sheepishly taking back one step.
"I'm not... sure... Leander said she was after a goddess..." she said uncertainly. Would Loki come back if she said anything else? She clasped her hands tightly behind her back and said nothing more.

Tibarn rolled his eyes and sighed. "Okay. Look. Make sure people don't panic, okay? Lemme get ready and I'll be out soon to help. Rhys, go... do your Host Club thing. If a god wanted to just show up and crush us, he probably would have by now... just... make sure things don't get too crazy, alright?" He turned and closed the door, heading to the bathroom to shower and shave.

Amelia nodded twice. "All right..." she said uncertainly. She waited for Tibarn to disappear, then looked over at Rhys. She made sure he was okay, then trooped quietly down to the main floor. She systematically went through the rooms, telling them to stay calm and that Tibarn would be out to help. He's right, though, there really isn't a way to run... I just hope we aren't screwed.

{Gah! i've got to stop doing things for Christmas I miss wayyy too much <<; }
"Amelia please explain." Fiora said, she was extremely confused. Last she could remember Nino was a mother and she wasn't leaving. Mumbling to herself, she said "I've got to fix this, my memory shouldn't be this spotty nor should I be this forgetful."Fiora walked slowly away as she was talking, not quite sure what was going on at all.
{ andd now I have to go.. stupid dinner doesn't make itself haha. and my brother wants on. have fun guys i'll be back later. }

Renault's eyes grew distant and misty, as if he had gone suddenly far away. A growl escaped his lips, an angry, animal sound. "You. . . b*****d," he snarled, but not to anyone present. It seemed as if he were talking to another, one who only he could see. . .
But a few moments later, he returned to normal, and turned to look at the two beside him. ". . . Not yet," he told them softly. "It seems we've been granted. . . a reprieve." He looked at the tome Melethia held out to him with a slight frown, then reached out and accepted it. "This is not. . . a tome i recognize. What is it?" he asked her.
((As for the tome, if you don't have anything in mind I'm sure I can make something up. XD))

Amelia darted into the room where Renault was. "I... j-just know we're in trouble," Amelia called over her shoulder. She looked over at the Bishop as he received a tome from Melethia. Amelia calmed just a little, knowing people weren't panicking. Good so far...
Amelia tapped Renault's shoulder curiously. "What's that?" she asked, trying to focus on other things.

". . ." The bishop shook himself from his stupor and looked over at the girl curiously. "I'm. . . not entirely sure myself. That was what I was asking Melethia just now. It's some sort of Light tome, but I've never seen it before. Perhaps it's another one-of-a-kind tome, and I can add it to my 'arsenal'." The bishop forced a smile onto his face. "I believe. . . that we'll be okay for now. . . that God seems to have backed off." He looked off towards the ceiling and addressed the presence he was sure was there somewhere. "Lady. . . Ashera. In the name of the blessed Saint Elimine. . . I will give you assistance."

Amelia nodded once. She studied the surface of the tome. She had never been a spellcaster, so she couldn't tell out the ornate designs to be a specific tome. She watched as Renault smiled a plaster smile, then spoke quietly.
"Yes... th-thankfully," Amelia said. She fell silent for a few minutes, just letting herself calm down. She slowly smoothed out her shirt, looking over at Renault again. "How long... do you think we have until he appears?"
