[Avalon Border Town]

Garnet shakily climbed back to her feet and supported herself on the racket. She looked up to Blake as he approached them and she nodded a bit.

She smiled over to the children. “It’ll be alright. You’re safe now.”

Then she looked over at the ones Didymus had knocked unconscious. She frowned at the sight of them.

[Forest]

Musashi nodded, and let out a slight sigh.

“She’s already offered to help… but I don’t want to put her in any danger. As I said, I know practically nothing of the man I’m hunting, so I can’t say whether or not he’s connected to anything too dangerous.”

He suddenly paused. “… Did you hear that?”

There was a very soft, low noise… like the consistent whine of a tea kettle.

[Ankh-Morpork]

“… Hmm… an enclosed space would work well. An empty building or store if you can find one. But somewhere that you and the others can hide while I… attract their attention.”

Raven knew that she was running a risk. Anything beyond her most basic powers always ran a very real risk… but she had to do it.

She looked to Umbra and Beast Boy.

“… You don’t have to help me, if you don’t want to. It will be dangerous…”

The children were puzzled, it seemed.

"What's gonna happen to Granny?" one asked.

Didymus paused.

"She's going to have to...go away." he said. "Are you all alright? Is anyone hurt?"

Some of the children, the ones who could speak, shook their heads.

Some stood there, still not quite grasping what had happened.

One started crying.

Didymus approached him, crouched down.

"Hey. It's alright. You're safe now."

Some of them crowded around Garnet.

"Hey, you had that shield thing! That was so cool! You saved us! How'd you do that?!" all sorts of questions.

The crying child collapsed into Didymus, and he slowly wrapped his arms around him.

"...there, there..." he said. "...it's okay."

Meanwhile, more adoring questions and inspired looks came to Garnet...though some of the children started looking to Didymus. A real, live Paladin, they thought.

A couple curiously looked over at Blake...

“Any idea who these people are?” Blake asked as well, looking towards the three, “I wonder if they were working together or not too...”

He sighed, shaking his head. He didn't like people who used the power they had this way.

Blake then smiled over at a couple of the kids, leaning down and focusing.

His shadows twisted around a bit, creating some shadow puppets like one would see on a wall, making a dog chase a cat around.

-Forest-

“You do remember meeting Kyran's grandfather back in Ankh-Morpork, right?” Galv asked levelly, “Whether you are here or not, she's going to be in danger...”

He sighed, shaking his head and unconsciously echoing his son, pausing though as he heard the noise.

He clenched his hand, electricity sparking in it. “Be careful...”

-Ankh-Morpork-

“I think I know a place. Beneath the city,” Carrot said, “I'll just need to gather a few officers. Wait here a moment.”

Carrot turned to get some volunteers, while Beast Boy looked over towards Raven.

“Hey, you let me travel with you, the least I can do is help!” Beast Boy said, then grinned and leaned towards Raven, “Besides, I can't let a cute girl like you handle some big evil by yourself!”

He wiggled his ears.

Umbra was less than impressed with Beast Boy trying to flirt with the pale-skinned girl, cuffing him on the back of the head with one of his enormous hands. For him, it was barely a love tap, but for someone of Beast Boy's size and stature, it might be quite a bit more.

"That ain't no way ta treat a girl, green-ears. Try ta learn some manners, eh?"

He had been following the conversation in silence, not used to this sort of planning. His plans were a lot more straightforward: find the enemy, smash the enemy. It was a simple plan, and an effective one when they knew where the enemy was. He had to admit, he had no idea how to deal with enemies he could not see... But Raven seemed to have that well in hand.

And his answer was obvious.

"Raven-girl, I got ye outta dat place where ye hung, and ye expect me NOT ta help ye? I ain't no cruel bastard, I ain't no coward, and I ain't got it in me heart ta simply abandon ye. I'm around, and I'm gonna help ye. End o' story."

He turned back to Carrot, standing a little more at attention.

"Where'er ye need me hammah, ye got it. But I am gonna follow yer command only 's far as Raven-girl allows. I'm here ta help her, not you."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Dark Brotherhood Base]

There was barely five feet of space between Nanami and Zyth. No, even less, barely three feet between them as Nanami commenced her close-up attack after barely ducking out of the way of Zyth's back-lashing stab, staying alive through what was a definite killing strike. Now, she pulled on her magic and was amplifying it with a wand as she sent cold waves and magcally-formed icicles at him form so close that there was no time to dodge.

And he didn't dodge.

Zyth, instead of running away spun about just as Nanami was bringing up her wand, coming face-to-face with her attack... And jumped straight at is, whipping up his arm as he dropped that rainbow-colored dagger, the deep-blue blade replacing the rainbow one as he stabbed forward...

And the consecutive ice spells warped around where the dagger came in contact with them, vanishing entirely as the dagger's glow became more pronounced. This left Zyth shoot right through her attacks where she stood with her wand up, already moving within range and stabbing straight with that glowing-blue knife, the remnants of Nanami's attack simply passing by him, and all that was supposed to hit him dead-on simply cancelled or absorbed...

Cottage


“Look at it this way, would you rather he be back here with Kyran, possibly unsupervised, or out here with us, where we can keep an eye on him?”

"You say, keeping an eye on him...I say plotting a way to bury his body where no one will find him" Elysia joked (?) to her father as they walked out of the cottage and into the woods. Musashi walked a bit behind them as they searched for the mosters in the woods....Elysia couldn't help but to snicker at Galv's comments which probably made Musashi nervous. After all in her eyes he was a wimp.

But then Galv and Musashi started to talk....And bond? Oh goodness no....Instantly Elysia inched closer to her father.

“… No, ah… actually a few years back before I left home, a great warrior stayed at the palace for a couple of months. She was studying some old magic tome the Emperor kept, and she taught me how to fight.”

Elysia raised her brow.

“Emperor, huh? So you're a prince? Have to be honest, that probably works in your favor with Kyran...She always loves those old fairy tales with some prince showing up.”

"Daaaad you're not supposed to be okay with that! Princes are sleezeballs! They have like 80 wives!"

She didn't like how this converstation was going.

[...]

In the room Joyce gave a little smile, as Melanie handed her a cup of tea. She took a sip and gave a sigh. "Mom....How hard do you think it would be to find Blake? I want him to see the baby before we have to get moving again"

Melanie frowned, handing a cup to Sage. "I'm afraid we haven't heard from him in awhile darling....I'm not sure where he is..."

Garnet smiled to the children. She was happy to see that they were safe and sound.

“Children, I’m just glad you’re all safe. Perhaps I can show you some more tricks later, but for now we should get you back to your parents.” Garnet pointed out… and she felt a twinge of painful irony and she thought of her own mother.

She would have liked to entertain the children with a few simple (and harmless) spells, but she had used all of her mana keeping her Barrier up.

[Forest]

Musashi rubbed the back of his neck, thinking about that man from Ankh-Morpork. Kyran’s grandfather… he certainly didn’t look old enough to be a grandfather. There had been something unmistakably scary about that man…

He looked over to Elysia and he frowned. “I don’t have any wives! And I don’t want more than one.”


A moment later, the soft, slow hum was echoing again. Musashi frowned and he put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

“There it is again…”

Suddenly, a massive creature broke out of the ground. It was a terrible creature, with massive pink flower petals around it and large tendrils of grass-like substance.

It was called an Ochu.

“Shoot!” Musashi cried out. “That’s a Wutainese monster, an Ochu… Be careful! They can breathe out spores that hypnotize you!”

[Ankh-Morpork]

Raven just narrowed her eyes at Beast Boy. She could tell what he was doing, but decided to just ignore it. She hoped that the cold shoulder would work as well as a cold shower and break whatever interest the green kid had in her.

She looked up at Umbra and sighed. He was loyal to a fault… and she wondered why. He barely knew her, and she saw no reason why he should help her so much. She sighed and looked over to Carrot.

“It’ll work. We’ll have to hurry though… and you’ll need to bring your very best officers. This will be… dangerous.”

She couldn’t understate the danger… she hated to think what would happen when she did this.

[Dark Brotherhood Base]

Nanami narrowed her eyes. So that was Zyth’s trick! He had absorbed the frost using that blue dagger, and now her frosty spells seemed utterly useless against him. This would be a problem, since Nanami would have rather relied on her elemental advantages.

However… Nanami had fought Frost Dragons in the past. Beasts that could do things with ice and snow that even she could not imagine; and her ice had been utterly useless then too.

As Zyth stabbed at her, her caught her arm. The dagger managed to break through her armor and she felt blood spray out from her arm. She groaned in pain, and she jumped back away from him.

“You’re starting to piss me off.” Nanami growled.

“Then let's see how it likes lightning! Elysia, let's light it up!” Galv called over to his daughter, focusing his own electricity.

He focused, then fired a blast of lightning at the Ochu!

-Cottage-

“When he left last he said he wanted to find someone...” Kyran said, speaking up when Joyce and Melanie mentioned Blake.

Blake was always popping to home and back and visiting as he traveled around, often bringing souvenirs and presents for his siblings.

“He didn't say who he was looking for though...But it wasn't too long after we found out you were going to have your baby, Joyce,” Kyran added.

Sage took the tea as well, sitting next to Joyce and continuing to look at his wife and newborn son.

-Avalon Border Town-

Blake paused, then patted his cloak, and produced a small bag of sweets, handing them to Garnet.

“Here, you can hand these out to them,” Blake said. “They're Ankh-Morpork made, but they're good.”

-Ankh-Morpork-

“Well then we have that in common,” Carrot said to Umbra, grinning at him, “I've got the help.”

Two trolls loomed behind him, Sergeant Detrius and another. A couple dwarves stood around as well, holding axes warily.

Finally a young woman with long blonde hair, looking vaguely annoyed. She had a sword at her waist, like most, but something seemed like it wasn't used much...

“We should be ready,” Carrot said.

The children seemed enthralled by Blake's shadow puppets, some of them at least.

"Like Granny did!" one called.

Didymus shot a look over, but didn't move and remained quiet, looking around again...

When Blake offered his bag of sweets, he paused, raising an arm their way...hoping to be able to see if they were harmless, before lowering it again.

"We probably should get them back to their families, however..."

"As for who those people are...I may doubt that they were working together, but...it wouldn't be surprising. The old woman looks like your standard witch around these parts. She may or may not be part of a so-called "sisterhood" of them or whatever-those tend to be quite vindictive when we act against one of their members, no matter what she did to bring about our...intervention."

He paused.

"Those other two...heh, I've seen THAT design before. Not sure what they were doing here, though..."

Elysia gave a yelp, stumbling back when the creature burst out of the ground. Instantly Musashi was warning them to be careful-something about hypnotizing....

"Please, that thing won't even touch me and dad. Now you, well you should be worried" the girl said arrogantly, electricity crackling in her hands....She grinned (something she seemed to only do when imagining Musashi dead nowadays) and tossed a ball of crackling light at the Ochu at her dad's command, hoping they could take this thing out in one or two hits.

Cottage

"Well i'm worried...Maybe we should go look for him" Joyce said, moving to sit up but not getting very far. Melanie was quick to stop her.

"Darling Blake will be fine. You just worry about resting. We'll have to get moving again after your father and sister get back...You'll need to be able to fight if need be-"

"Mom, I can always fight" Joyce said, bringing her hand up. There were a few small sparks but she was pretty much spent. "Okay. Point taken"

[Forest]

“Wait!” Musashi cried out, but he was too late. Galv and Elysia had both unleashed their lightning at the Ochu. Musashi could only flinch in response.

The lightning racked across the Ochu’s massive mouth and as one would expect, the Ochu burst into flames! Its body was burning… and it started to thrash around in terrible pain, flailing its massive tendrils – which were now on fire – all across the forest.

Suddenly everything was on fire.

“… Yeah, so… don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m not sure lightning was the way to go on this one.” Musashi sighed.

[Avalon Border Town]

Garnet frowned, looking at the unconscious bodies on the ground. She turned around and looked over to Didymus.

“What do you mean? Who are they?” Garnet asked.

[Ankh-Morpork]

Raven nodded.

“We should get set up, then…”

Once they were at the site Carrot had secured for them, Raven stepped out into the middle of the room. She looked around at Umbra, Beast Boy, Carrot and the others. She took a deep breath.

“… Listen to me very carefully. I’m going to do something, and once I do, there’s a VERY good chance the Dark Brotherhood will be drawn to this place. Be ready and be mindful…”

Raven closed her eyes and began to chant softly. Raven ordinarily focuses her magical power through a phrase, “Azaroth Metrinone Zynthos”, but that was not what she said now. She was invoking a different power… a power she hated and dreaded to use.

“… Ph’nglui mglw’nafh R’lyeh…” Raven muttered, and a power began to seep away from her.

[Dark Brotherhood Base]

Suddenly, everyone in the DB’s Base would feel a specific power being used above them… it was stronger and more terrifying than anything unleashed by Nanami or Zyth in their battle…

An ancient, dangerous, horrible power that had helped craft the Brotherhood…

“What do you mean? Who are they?”

"They call themselves the "Children of the Night"." Didymus said. "That's what their group does, at least. Let's just say one time they may have come VERY close to complete victory at one point, at least, they claimed so. I can't be entirely sure if their failure was because they simply weren't as dangerous as they claimed, or if our intervention, by His grace, was just in time...as for the old woman, again, I don't know who she is, exactly."

He began looking around, wondering if there was rope nearby or anything.

"Well, there hopefully should be some garrison or something to turn them over to at some point around here soon..."

“Well...Lightning is kind of the only thing we have,” Galv said, chuckling a little and rubbing the back of his head, “Well...Elysia, go loud!”

Galv focused his lightning, keeping it sparking in his hands, holding it up over his head.

The lightning went loud, sending out a sudden blast of sound, attempting to put out the fires and hit the Ochu with the thunder attack!

-Cottage-

Sage looked up, looking worried.

“No, no, no! Joyce doesn't need to fight. She needs to rest. I'll fight if we need to!” Sage argued, shaking his head.

Except Sage can't fight well at all.

-Avalon Border Town-

“So they can hold them here?” Blake asked, looking towards Didymus, “That will be a relief...”

-Ankh-Morpork-

The Watch hid and waited as Raven used her spell...

Beast Boy turned into a rat in order to hiding, twitching his nose and waiting...

-Dark Brotherhood Base-

Jimi and Hammah shivered, feeling the power welling upwards around them...what was that?



Shendu hissed, sensing the power as well...

“What is this? This power!” Shendu roared, “We must find out!”

Zyth slid back from Nanami as she literally ripped herself off his knife, voicing her annoyance. The elf smirked, standing straight up for once, instead of his usual combat readiness and slid a finger along the flat side of the knife covered in Nanami's blood, bringing the finger to his mouth and licking the blood off.

"... Curious. You're stronger than any member of the Dark Brotherhood."

However, he never got any further than that as the feeling of the darkest of magics washed over him. Normally this wouldn't bother him whatsoever, but the magical surge was the last little trigger that was needed for something else to happen.

Zyth suddenly grabbed his head, dropping the dagger in his hand and growling.

"Not NOW... Go back to-..."

And suddenly, there was a blank moment of nothing, and Zyth raised his head, his cold and calculating eyes changing to something far more cheerful and maniacal. It was as if he was suddenly a completely different person.

"YOU get to sit back, Zyth! WHOOOO! I'm AWAKE! And THAT... THAT is something I haven't felt in a very long ti-... Aw, goddamit, he was trying to kill someone, wasn't he."

The man gave Nanami a once-over, smirking.

"... Can't fault his tastes in targets, but really, killing should be the last thing on his mind right now. And with that above us, this isn't the time for frivolities. Heya! Name's Saren! Nice to meet ya!"

And he BOWED in greeting.

Nanami froze as she felt the wave of energy. It was unlike anything she had ever felt… and that was frightening for someone who had been from one side of the continent to the other, and had killed dragons.

Then Zyth… changed. She raised an eyebrow, confused; and in no way did she lower her guard.

“… Nice to meet me? You’ve been trying to kill me for the last several minutes. We’re a bit past greetings.” Nanami narrowed her eyes.




Lucien frowned.

“That power… My Lord, Shendu… we must obtain whatever the source of this power is! It may be the key to everything…”

[Avalon Border Town]

Garnet frowned. She didn’t like the idea of these ‘Children of the Night’ doing such terrible things, especially to actual children.

“… People who do things like this are exactly the reason there’s so much misunderstanding and tension between our countries.”

[Forest]

Some of the flames were extinguished, but the Ochu seemed not fazed by the sound… of course, it was on fire, so perhaps it was just in so much pain already that it didn’t respond to something new.

Saren scoffed, stretching widely as though he just woke up and got out of bed, yawning as well for good measure.

"Puh-lease. If Zythy wanted you dead, you would have never known it and you would have been dead already. The fact that he engaged you in straight-on combat and DIDN'T poison you and turn you into a frothing corpse says all it needs to. No offense, it's just his usual mode of operation. Though he was REALLY enjoying himself in this little bout, I can tell."

He shrugged.

"Feel free to hold a grudge if you want, but I wouldn't advise it. My brother is very, VERY good at making people meet a short, premature end. As far as I can tell, he was probably testing you."

He looked at the glowing knives strewn about the place, took a deep breath... And his eyes nearly popped open in surprise.

"... No WONDER! He couldn't have killed you even if he tried and you were trying to get him to kill you! Fooo, no wonder I'm on such a rush!"

He brought both of his hands forward, yellow sparks shaking off of them like flecks.

"So, you get to choose now, girl in black. You can hold a grudge and continue attacking me and I just bury the place, or you can stop for a second, admit that you were enjoying the fight too, I heal your scratches and we all go and check out what's going on above us. Which sounds like the better deal to you right now?"
