"No.
It would do you no good to come with me.
Even with light, magical or natural, you wouldn't be able to see a thing.
I will go by myself and return to you shortly with them."
TY was about to leave when he paused.
"I almost forgot. We found Zant. He's at that temple where we first saved Larien from. Epotheros and Clover are headed that way. They plan on regrouping at the town nearest to it. They should arrive sometime early tomorrow unless they travel through the night. I was supposed to bring you and Lar-
Well, you know where it is. I'll catch up with you later."
With that, TY left for good.
He traveled the secret tunnels within the shadows until he came upon a maze. Following the path he had memorized long ago, wary of the hidden traps even on the correct path, he made his way through this leg of his security system.

Looking up at Zant Lilith smiled ruefully.
"It truely has been too long master."
Walking towards Zant she knelt down in a bow, then sat at the foot of his thrown once he had sat again; and waited for him to hook his chain on her collar. ((Mental imagry, beautiful yet evil winged woman chained to a throne much like a slave would be. Ohh Yeah.... wink ))

Tramer let out an existed sigh after Ty had left; he then went and changed back into his usual close. Tramer quickly gathered his positions, “urisorgsash, morfar” Tramer mumbled, as he did he was engulfed in a eerie green light and vanished from were he stood, Tramer reappeared in the town the group was planning on meting in, Tramer new he was early and decided to try and find a room in an inn. Tramer approached the first inn he came across “The Gray Mare” Tramer read from a old wooden sign hung from the Inn, Tramer entered the building and as Tramer walked the building went dead silent, everyone dropped what they were doing and stared at Tramer as he approached the inn keeper, “I would like a room for the night” Tramer said in a calm voice as he reached for his money pouch, completely ignoring all the people staring at him
“I don’t need no trouble ya hear, you best be leavin if you know what’s good for ya” the Inn keeper said taking a step away from Tramer as he approached
Tramer chuckled to himself realizing he had nothing to council his eye or arm “I don’t intend on causing any trouble, I just wish to pay for a room for the night, till my friends arrive” Tramer stated calmly hoping the man would lesson to reason. Tramer herd several men approach from behind as he spoke with the inn keeper, one of the men picked up a char as he stood behind Tramer. Tramer smiled and looked down away from the inn keeper just as the man with the char lifted the char above his head preparing to make his swing, with inhuman speed Tramer reached back with his left arm grabbing the man with the chair by the throat, Tramer lifted the man about a foot off the ground, the chair fell to the floor making a loud cracking sound as it hit. Small beads of blood dripped down the mans neck from were Tramer’s claws dug into his flesh. “I see…well I guess I’ll take my money else were” Tramer said as he loosened his grip letting the man fall to the floor. Tramer quickly exited the Inn. Tramer ventured back into a small alleyway in-between two shops, The alleyway was littered with boxes crates, Tramer found a good place in-between several creates were he could not easily be seen, Tramer sat in his little hiding place leaning agents a wall.

Clover docilely rode on through the day and then settled with Epotheros when dusk set. She wasn’t positive whether her dreary mood was because of the priest’s death, the oncoming danger of fighting Zant, or the pang of fear that trickled down her spine ever so often in response for the darkness she felt. There was some odd feeling plaguing her ever since the priest’s death. She almost felt helpless, because of it. Luckily there was something, or rather someone around her that made her smile. Being around Epotheros was enough to quell most of her worries, but even with the one she loved the inebitile end of either them or Zant was ever so near.
The sun set peacefully leaving the two in the fires glow. Staring off into the flames Clover jumped slightly when she felt an arm wrap around her shoulders. Quickly she noticed the familiarity and sunk into Epotheros’ side. At the sound of his whisper Clover’s eyes widened slightly, she turned towards him and shot a playful grin before tilting her head up, leaned in and gave the corner of his mouth a teasing kiss before melting back into his side. “And I love you,” she confessed in a low, dazed tone as she began to stare into the fire once again, hoping that this wouldn't be their last moment like this.

Epotheros felt a charge as Clover teased his lips, that he decided to do a little of his own. When she was firmly situarted against him he begain to nuzzel the back of he neck, brushing her hair away while he gave her small kisses and nips. After he was done with his little display Epotheros with drew his head and leant back against the tree. The fact of the matter is that he felt that having Clover against him was rather comforting. Soon after that he could feel his Eyes become heavy from the hipnotic gaze of the fire and fell into a deep sleep.
His sleep was rather uneventful, and soon he reopened his eyes to look upon a very foggy morning. The air was cool and damp, which sent a chill down his spin though the front of his body ws kept rather warm as he realised that Clover was still nestled inbetween him and his arm, hopefully enjoying the same amount of warmth he had. With a gental kiss on her cheek Epotheros attempted to wake her as it was time for them to return to their usual duity of travel and leave the wonderful fantasy real of sleep.
The morning was full of on and off showers that delivered enough water to soak you to the bone. Epotheros though found it rather convienent that they still had the pair of water proof tarps with them that had served them since the beginning of the journey. Just before midday EPotheros and Clover had arived at the town which only had a single in called the Gray Mare. When they entered, EPotheros did not feel as though he should reserve a room right away but instead wait for Ty and Tramer. He did this by taking one of the chair by the fire that sat with an accompanying one for Clover.

It took TY a few hours to complete his mission and reach his destination.
There they were, just as he left them. The twin swords he had taken from Tramer.
There was so much power eminating from them right now, that anyone else in his situation might have just taken the swords and vanished, using them for their own deeds.
By then, TY was not anyone else. Besides, things will work out better if I give them to him.
He wrapped two shadowy sheaths around the swords but made no move to grab them. He then made his way back to the surface shadows, where he would form himself out of the shadows nearest Tramer.
It was near morning, and in a back alley. No-one was around but Tramer, and he didn't look as if he'd slept comfortably that past night.

Tramer had a hard time sleeping when ever he managed to doze off his dreams were quickly interrupted by the shadowy figure of Lilith. Tramer awoke as it began to downpour quickly drenching Tramer to the bone, Tramer still had his waterproof tarp with him but he made no attempt to retrieve it form his pack in-between the cloudbursts considering he couldn’t get any wetter. Tramer just closed his eyes mentally exhausted form all the recent assurances, Tramer soon noticed Ty appear near him “took you long enough” Tramer said his eyes still closed, Tramer stood up closely examining his surroundings as he opened his eyes, Tramer looked in amazement at the swords Ty retrieved for him, they were resonating an amazing amount of energy, thou Tramer quickly figured out the resin for this assurance, Dericos having full use of his own power is releasing energy form the sword uninhibited, this overwhelming my body, if I take hold of the swords once again I will retake control of the energy and the amount of power going into my body will stabilize according to my own abilities to control magic…it would take me years to achieve the power I currently hold Tramer thought to himself as he closely examined the claw that was now his left hand, is this power worth the price? Tramer thought to himself. “Ty…keep them in a safe place for me” Tramer said walking passed Ty “I will give my flesh, my mind, and even my very soul if it would give me the straight to save you” Tramer mumbled under his breath. Tramer turned back toward Ty “back at the academy, in the High mages tower on the top floor, there is a box, you will easily be able to sense the magic, if it is not to much trouble place the swords in the box for me” Tramer asked Ty in a calm voice “but what ever you do, do not touch the swords yourself” Tramer said turning away from Ty as it started raining yet again. Tramer new that as long as Epotheros and Clover had a smooth journey they should had made it into the town already, Tramer remembering the Grey Mare was the only Inn in the town quickly headed there figuring Epotheros and Clover would head there to escape the storm.
Tramer consciously entered the old Inn and to his surprise he saw Epotheros and Clover sitting in at one of the many tables. Tramer approached the two water dripping off his socked clouse as he walked “lovely weather today” Tramer said trying to force a smile as he took a set at the table

TY did not like that he had been asked to penetrate one of his own safehouses just to relocate the prized swords to another location, but he agreed to do just that anyways. As for not touching the swords, TY had already figured that out. He could touch them if he wanted, with little consequences to himself, but it wasn't him he was ever worried about.
Quickly finding the box Tramer described was little matter of just getting to it. TY placed one sword in the box, and paused.
Too penetrable...and obvious.
The second sword was then hidden elsewhere in that room, hidden, but still in a place that TY was sure Tramer would think to look.
Mearly minutes after Tramer entered the Grey Mare, TY followed suit mock-muttering to himself, "Shame, making a man such as myself run on all these errands. What do they think I can do, just pop up anywhere?"
With a slight chuckle to himself, TY pulled up a chair to find himself seated with their small party. Every one except Larien that is.

When Ty and Tramer walked into the tavern, Epotheros asked, "Where's Larien? Is she the reason why you told us to leave Tramer?"

“Zant released Lilith…” Tramer said looking down at the table “before the change was complete I sent you the message fearing Lilith would go after Clover” Tramer said still looking down at the table his voice almost cutting out as he spoke “I almost stopped her…but I was ambushed, by now Lilith is at Zant’s side, the enemy is one stronger wile were one weaker!” Tramer said the anger now become apparent in his voice. Tramer stopped for a secant to regain control of his emotions, Tramer sighed frustrated “so, do we have a plan?” Tramer asked trying to change the subject

The rain seemed eternal. What seemed to be years ago was only the night before. Clover fondly recalled the warmth she felt at Epotheros’ side, but now everything was cold and wet. Luckily they still had the waterproof tarps. They came in handy, but the moisture clinging to the air still chilled her very being. Finally they reached the town and an inn.
Clover was more than happy to seat next to fire. Unfortunately with this extra time her mind had wondered off again and she began to dread to inevitable of fighting their last battle with Zant. Because of this she still felt cold. A smile crossed her face when she saw Tramer and Ty, but where was Larien? Worry welled up within the pit of her stomach. Tramer quickly confirmed her fears. “Not again,” she thought to herself. Why couldn’t purging Lilith from Larien once be enough? Clover’s expression was now empty, blank, no smile. She quickly opted to listen to the other’s.

"Well that plan is to try to only fight Zant and his officers. I am not sure if we should attack tonight or wait till the morning after we have had some time to replenish our energy by eating and sleeping. What do you three think, I can't make a life or death decision unless we have a unanimous vote."

"By 'his officers', who all are we talking about?"
TY just wanted to clarify that he actually knew the conpetition.
I know we'll face off against Zant, most likely Larien/Lilith will be there, probably have that little goblin there too. What was his name...Sneebly? Zant will surely call up more minnion-like creatures to do his bidding and who else?

“If my memory severs me correctly and Zant doesn’t have anything up his sleeve, first there is Lilith, then the goblin Sneebly and the last I know of is the sorceries Rachel” Tramer said with a hint of disgust as he mentioned the name Rachel. “Zant went to great lengths to reawaken Lilith from her slumber, to me this is signifying he is getting close to achieving his goal, I don’t believe we should waste anymore time than is absolutely necessary, thou I will go along with what ever is decided” Tramer continued, Tramer soon noticed something odd thou there were many people in the inn it was eerily quiet, Tramer inconspicuously glanced around seeing many of the people huddled at there tables whispering taking quick glances at the group. “Plus I don’t think were all to welcome here…or at lest some of us” Tramer said with a slight chuckle

TY too had noticed the whispering and fright amungst the other occupants in the inn, but that was the story of his life. After all, how many people do you know with solid black eyes that move around wrath-like with their bladeless scythe? Yes, this group was not very tollerant of outsiders.
A wrath, a half-beast, and two blue-haired folk, one sporting a few nasty looking blades. All huddled together, come in from the storm.
It was a wonder the town hadn't gathered the foolishness within themselves to try to chase us out yet.
"Since when does Zant not have something up his sleeve?" TY asked ryhtoricly.
"By now I don't think it much matters when we seek him out. There's probably been enemy eyes spying on the group for quite some time. Some small little inconvenience that has been too easily overlooked.
On that note, I agree with "monstro" over here, we should leave as soon as possible."
As he said "monstro", TY glanced over at Tramer with a slight twinkle in his eye. He was just trying to keep the mood light.
Or as light as it could be in these predicaments.
