If looks could kill the look Deimos gave Jabir just then would have killed him, revived him, tortured him, then killed him again. He turned to Maggie, hoping this lady would listen to him. "He call me Erebus. Say destroy demon. I no remember well."

Jabir didn't pay attention to Deimos furious look. He was far more interested in Maggie's reaction
"Oh my!" Maggie was baffled. She didn't expect that reaction from any tree
After a short pondering she approached Deimos and kneled beside him, looking a bit worried "Erebus was the name of a demon that existed in this world not long ago . He's dead now but part of him lives in you. The elder recognized it and thinks you're him"
"You shouldn't have told him that. He's too young to understand" Jabir replyed "Plus how would that old bag of sap know anything about it?"
"He would have to know sooner or later. Might as well be now in the light of what as just happened" she snapped back, for she never liked when Jabir talked like that about the trees "And if you could remember what I had taught you trees have a community memory. If one knows, the others will too" her tone was as cold as Jabir's had been before
He grumbled but didn't replied, not with Jizzy and Deimos still present

Deimos blinked several times, he.. he didn't really understand. There was a demon living inside him. This Erebus was part of him.. He became silent in thought, trying to remember anything that could prove this, and then he remembered. "He talk to me.." He said to Maggie, tugging on her sleeve. Erebus had spoken to him twice, once before he'd almost drown in a river and another time at the picnic, in the forest.
"Why he talk to me if he dead?" Deimos asked Maggie. He needed to know.
Jizzy was, well, shocked, but at the same time rather unsurprised. She knew Deimos had demonic in him, if not fully demonic, but she'd never expected another precense in her baby boy..

"Only his old body is dead. His soul lives in yours, since you are his direct descendant... literally" Jabir answered in Maggie's place. Although the choice of words wasn't the best for a toddler to understand
"What he means is when his body died by the spell, the one you were born from, part of it got transformed and now lives in you. Instead of wanting to die too, his soul decided to live in the new body and share it with yours" This was only a theory but it was the one that made most sense
"Since it's not his original body he can't control you, but instead he gives you advice and keeps you safe and alive"
"Yeah, if you died he dies as well" Jabir added

Deimos didn't need to understand everything they said to breath a sigh of relief. Erebus couldn't control him and that was all he needed to know, and to add a plus he would offer advice. Deimos so Erebus as his own consultant, and a full demon must know a lot.. "Thank for 'splainin.." He said to Maggie, purposely ignoring Jabir.
Jizzy nodded. "Yes, thank you.." She said softly. The news that Erebus could not control her boy came as a huge relief..

"You're quite welcome Deimos" MAggie replied with a smile
"Since we've got that settled then we still must discust the matter of your punishment Deimos. What you've done was very serious" Jabir remarked

Deimos turned viciously upon Jabir. His eyes flaring and his cloak bristling slightly. "Why I punished? Tree attack me!!" He shouted angryly.

"Bothering the tree elder isn't the reason you're being punished. It's for entering the woods knowing it's off limits, and abusing Aido's ignorance of our boundaries, taking her and Reid to a place known to be dangerous" Jabir's tone got colder and colder as he spoke
"He's right Deimos, it was very careless of you and you put the life of others in danger, not to mention yours. You were lucky it was the elder who caught you first and not something worse" Maggies expression was a sad one, as if she was disapointed for the toddler's actions

Deimos grumbled and turned to his mother. Upon seeing her nod he sighed. "So.. whats I gotta do?" He said grumpyly, crossing his arms in indignance.

"That's exactly what I want to discuss with Jizzy while Maggie will take you to the infirmary to see if everything's alright"
"Come on Dei, this won't hurt a bit" Maggie said with an assuring tone

Deimos was half relieved to be leaving the room. "He do anything to you, Mother, and I get himm.." He hissed to Jizzy as he walked by, loud enough for Jabit to hear.
Jizzy gulped slighly and allowed Deimos to be escorted from the room. She immediatly began apologizing.. "I'm sorry.. I sould have kept a closer eye on him.. I shouldhn't have let him wander off." She said, even though she had been both sick and asleep at the time of his escape..

"You wish" Jabir replied in a low voice. Then he turned his full attention to Jizzy
"It's not your fault, you don't need to be sorry" he said, trying to confort her "It's Deimos nature to be so independant and troublemaker" he smiled when he made that remark, but it imediatly faded when he continued "Unfortunatly it started to show much sooner than I predicted and it will become quite troublesome if we don't do something right now" he sighted as he spoke the next words
"He must learn his boundaries and to take responsability for his acts. And, in his case, the consequences must be grand and fearsome" he looked extremely sad at proposing this. Deimos would probably hate him for the rest of his life if it happened "Do you agree in doing this?"
"A word of advice Dei, don't pick a fight with Jabir. He can be quite dangerous if he snaps" Maggie said as both got into the infirmary
She pointed him to sit on the bed in the corner while she went to pick her the gear

"What kind of grand and fearsome are we talking about here?" She asked. She felt slightly guilty and a bit fearful for her child, but he needed to learn his boundaries.. She also didn;t want to agree to anything too terrible..
Deimos hopped onto the bed, his legs swining slightly. "Will Mother get in trouble?" He asked softly..

"Something I need your authorization before performing it" he opened one of the drawers and took a box from inside it "But first anwser me one thing" he opened it and a golden cross could be seen inside it "Is this what Deimos would fear the most?"
"No, but you probalby will" she sighed as she brought a first aid kit next to him. She took a stethoscope and started to listen to his heart beat

Jizzy's eyes widened. "Heck yes.. He flinches whenever someone says bless you!" Jizzy said, pushing back in her chair.. "He'd suffer if anyone even brought that thing near him.." She said.. she didn;t think she could do this. This was practically torture for Deimos..
"I just want see forest.. I like 'sploring.." He said, his legs swinging as he swivered slightly at the stethescopes metal..
