1[2018/12/23 23:07]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me looks to the Tari and makes one hail mary ploy to get out of whatever nastiness might come. "Tari, as the feast is over, and you are well and safe within your palace, may I too be relieved of duty for the eve?"
2
3[2018/12/23 23:08]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me raises a brow and looks up at him,"Perhaps...after we talk." She narrowed her eyes and tilted her head toward the castle...and the stairs up to her chamber. Let the fun begin?
4
5[2018/12/23 23:09]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me grunts a little and follows behind, walking the green mile
6
7[2018/12/23 23:16]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me settles on a seat and decides to see if he will tempt his fate by patting the cushion beside her, seeing if he would actually sit down.
8
9[2018/12/23 23:18]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me looks to the cushion as she pats it, then looks to her. Well, she isn't cloaked in flames anymore. That is a good sign. Sure.. why the hell now? After all he assumes this is just another bout of jealousy, and he prepares himself to give the Tari a stern, yet respectful talking to about the situation, as they never got to finish their talk the other night. He has no idea just what is going through the Tari's mind.... the poor bastard.
10
11[2018/12/23 23:18]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me would start, his tone firm. "Tari."
12
13[2018/12/23 23:24]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me raises a brow at his tone, as if daring him to go on in the tone. "Jona," she said, somewhat dryly, "the girl said she loves you. You.." she gestured at him,"made it seem as if you weren't wanting that." She narrows her eyes,"This...this is what I find frustrating. I dislike deception."
14
15[2018/12/23 23:30]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me is interrupted by the Tari, so he lets her speak. She was the one in charge after all. Then when she reveals the source of her anger, his eyes widen and he rises to his feet again. "No!" he says sharply and in a tone he probably shouldn't. "I mean.. yes, that is what it sounded... but... no.." He growls a little, and starts to pace as he considers how to handle this. Shit, this has taken him off guard and he is no good with this. "Tar..." he pauses. "Indis. You know I can not lie." He scours his hand down over his face in frustration. "Xiuha is..." he frowns. "I don't know what she is. I barely know her. We share... " he pauses again, no that wasn't right, he couldn't think of how to finish that sentence properly. "I didn't know she feels that way." hells, as far as Jona knew she barely tolerated his presence.
16
17[2018/12/23 23:36]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me sighs, reaching up to take her crown off, and she places it on the table. Rising, she walks up to him and looks in his eyes,"You may not be able to lie , but clearly you have made an impression on her...something must exist there." She placed a hand on his chest, "Perhaps my irritation is a hint of jealousy, but moreso, it was an injury..I saw you acting strangely after the ceremony, and I went to see if you were alright...and then I heard that." She paused, "I am still concerned by your behavior...and now," she bit her lower lip,"She wishes to live here...and she offered to dance for me. Suggestive dancing...." she lifted a brow,"this is....interesting."
18
19[2018/12/23 23:44]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me frowns more deeply, and with a hint of both apology and regret. "Now I understand." he says in a softer, gentler tone. "I don't know what to say. I didn't know she felt that way. We've spoken a few times, and we fought a demon together." his eyes lower to her hand but he doesn't know what to do there, so he reaches up to lay his hand on it. "We both have suffered persecution from the inhabitants of this island, for what we are. Her for being a dragonborn, and me.... well you have seen that with your own eyes. How the town turned on me for trying to protect them from a vampire. That is only one incident of many." He is glossing over something, probably a lot of something, and probably not doing it very well. "I suppose, in some way, we have connected on that level, sharing something that few others could understand." He tries to ignore the question of his earlier behavior, that was an entirely new can of worms altogether. When she brings up the dancing, he takes that as a chance to change the subject.
20
21[2018/12/23 23:44]  Jonaleth Stormcrow:  "It... is?" His brow rises slowly, the possibility that she likes this idea, starting to intrigue him.
22
23[2018/12/23 23:48]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me frowns as he dodges his earlier behavior. "You do not trust me," she said, not sounding hurt or angered, just...stating what seemed to be a fact, and she moved on. "I can see how that would...bond you. I suppose I would bond with those that understood what I lived through, were there any still about...." she let that trail off and changed the subject,"Yes...the dancing sounds intriguing. I...have danced as well." Though, she did learn because she was forced as a slave to be entertainment....but she did take some enjoyment from it as a distraction then. "Perhaps..we will watch her together," she offered, raising a brow to see his reaction.
24
25[2018/12/23 23:51]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me blinks as if she she has slapped him in the face. It doesn't matter that she doesn't seem to be angry or hurt, it is an accusation that is untrue. "I do trust you. As much as I can trust anyone, more even." he is about to continue. Whether or not he was to elaborate, or merely reassure, is left in the air, as the subject of the dancing comes up again. He swallows hard a moment, and for just a second his eyes would flash that familiar silver glow. He would however try to play cool and composed. "If you need someone to help judge her skills, I could be convinced."
26
27[2018/12/23 23:56]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me actually managed a little smirk at the glow in his eyes,and she stroked her fingers on the soft fur he wore,"Perhaps, one day, you will let me in," she said simply, and she leaned into him, letting her lips linger close to his,"Until then...perhaps you could, help judge her skills...whatever they may be." She let linger in the air what she could have meant by that beyond dancing. Lips still lightly touching his, she speak, further,"I would wonder if there is something else you may want to say...as we have yet to finish our previous talk."
28
29[2018/12/24 00:00]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me takes a long deep breath, letting it out slowly. "I..." he trails off, and looks away a moment. Clearly struggling with the decision to tell her. He listens to everything she has to say, and he is tempted to kiss her. So very tempted. he even steps closer, but then his eyes close, as a decision is made, and he puts off any thought of sex, or talks, or ... skills, and with his eyes still closed he drops a bomb. "Indis. I thought I was going to die tonight. I should have died tonight." if Indis knows him at all she would know there has to be more to this, as she would know then that he does not fear death.
30
31[2018/12/24 00:08]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me raises a brow, and she pulls her head back, canting it to one side as she looks at him,"Died..." she let her gaze go out toward the water..well, the waterfalls,"no," she lifted her hand to his face, "no you should not have." She then, did let her lips touch his, and she pulled back,"What would make you think such a thing?" She...asked a question. She never asked questions. Her free hand moved to his arm, the one she had marked, and she let it rest there.
32
33[2018/12/24 00:12]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me leans into the soft, pseudo kiss but does not follow as she pulls away. Now does he speak... at first. He just silently begins to remove the upper portions of his armor. Piece by piece, and sets them aside, until his bare chest his shown. Then, showing a skill with magic she may not have expected, he summons forth the blue flame from the blessing, to create light and focus her attention upon the mark on his chest. "This, is not just an injury, or a mark of punishment for some law broken. It is...." he trails off, and lets out a small growl, at himself, then finally steels his nerves to just say what needs saying. "I betrayed the gods, and this is my punishment. I am marked for death."
34
35[2018/12/24 00:39]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me steps back and watches as he removes the upper pieces of his armor, and she looks puzzled, until he uses the blue fire to light his skin. Slender fingers went to her mouth, resting on parted lips, and she took a step forward again, looking at the mark. She looked...worried. Scared? Her hand moved from her lips, and she traced the mark gingerly, "This..." she frowned, and then she looked at the blue fire..and her attention and free hand went to the mark she placed on his arm, and she rested her hand there,"Cybele...that is what you were acting so strangely for. You believed she would kill you for this mark." She squeezed his arm gently,"Clearly, she did not. She has given you the fire...I assume, as her blessing tonight. I felt her pass through me...I would say others did as well." She smiled,"You protect her people..her children, even though there are those that dislike you. You do not have to be here protecting me, or them...but here you are. She sees this. I believe this is why she has passed some
36
37[2018/12/24 00:39]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil):  favor to you." She looked at his arm again,"Even this mark...I can only do this because she allows it. If she had wished harm on you, this mark would be be pleasant...no matter what I tried." She shook her head, "Whatever other Gods have against you, she does not have...lest you would not be as you are at present...blessed."
38
39[2018/12/24 00:46]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me watches her, giving her the time she needs to process everything he has just told her. He remains silent, and still. Just... watching. He is, to say the least, shocked at her reaction. This and many other emotions would plainly play on his face right now. What is not there, if she knows him well enough yet to notice, is guilt. Regret, yes. Guilt, no. Whatever he did, he does not believe he was wrong to do it. When she finally manages to put two and two together, he nods. "Ayn herself has decreed my death. This is her mark. Her servants will hunt me, as will those who serve the others, if they do not already." He looks her straight in the eye, as he continues. A fierceness there. "That does not explain why I yet live. It is not only Ayn I betrayed. I turned my back on them all. Surely she would not defy the mother of all for a mortal man, no matter what his deeds." It truly makes no sense to Jona.
40
41[2018/12/24 00:47]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me "and sure not for one that has turned his back on her."
42
43[2018/12/24 00:55]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me looks at the mark on his chest again, her fingers returning to it, and she frowned at it...as if that would scare it away. She looks at him, and she had seen him maybe like a little guilty once, probably...but no, she didn't see it now. "I would ask what you did..." she sighed,"Ayn..." she hesitated,"can be fickle. I am sorry she has marked you...sorry that the want you dead. Cybele does not feel that way...we can be certain of this. Perhaps...to spite Ayn, or others...but I truly feel it is because you try to help her people." When he said something about being a mortal man, she tried to lighten the mood,"Perhaps you are not simply a mortal man," she said lightly, and swayed her form closer to his..not necessarily intended to be sexual, but...an attempt at just being a comforting presence. Caring. "You have not turned your back on us, and in that...you do not turn your back on her."
44
45[2018/12/24 01:04]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me closes his eyes again, as she asks him what he did. Not because he feels guilt, but because he is afraid of what she might think. "Indis." with a flourish of his hand he summons his blade to it, the fire, the glow, all of it plain to see. Using it mostly as a visual aid. "I was a paladin. Not just a paladin, but a Justicar. I executed the enemies of the gods, and I did so gladly. There is no counting how many creatures, or people, I hunted and put to the sword for the gods. His eyes open, and he stares down at his blade wistfully. A longing and sorrow in his eyes. "Until they ordered the death of a child. They offered no reason. No explanation. They wanted her dead, and we were to carry out their order without question." he lets the rest of her words pass for now. Perhaps for a later time. She wanted to know his story, well now she was going to get it... like it or not. As she ways closer, he carefully moves the sword away.
46
47[2018/12/24 01:09]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me watches the blade, leaning a bit to keep clear of it, and her face registered some surprise. Still, she listened, and she felt a sense of sorrow as he came to the part about the child. That made her eyes narrow..perhaps darken to a stormy blue, a rarity. It could have been simply because she was a mother, now twice over, and the thought of her children being put to death because Gods demanded it...no. Not for any God. "You..." she looked at him as he moved the sword away,"you didn't. You were marked...because you didn't."
48
49[2018/12/24 01:16]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me peels his eyes away from the sword, and turns his gaze on her. They are aglow again, the light harsh and perhaps somewhat blinding. Pure anger in his eyes. Anger, and hatred. Pain and betrayal. Even something in his voice begins to change. An odd sort of echo, similar to a second voice starting to creep in. "They took everything from me. My life. My power. My faith. I refused to murder a child and for this they sent my own brethren to kill me. Men I fought with, bled with, killed with, now wanted my blood, and I cut them down. Every last one of them." His free hand clenches at his side, and silvery flames would appear upon his flesh, dancing chaotically in rivulets up and down his skin. "They took everything from me. They made me a murderer. They marked me for death and drove me to exile, because I dared disobey them." An almost palpable sense of rage could be felt for any sensitive enough to such things. That strange duel presence in his voice becoming stronger. Even the flames of his blade begin to dim and darken to an unnatural hue, as if being slowly corrupted.
50
51[2018/12/24 01:30]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me blinks, and she takes a step back. This was...new. New and not good. Scary. The echo in his voice, the look in his eyes..the flames. Shit. Shit. Was she crazy? Yes...but...oh hell. She sucked in a breath and actually stepped closer to him. Stupid? Probably. "Jona," she said, and then again,"Jonaleth. Look at me," she lifted a hand, slowly, palm outward...no flames, just..skin. "That was wrong. It was...horrible. Evil, even. But, look at me," she said firmly, but still trying to sound calm...normal. "No one should have expected something so horrible, nor should those men have turned on you. You. Are not. A murderer." Well, yes..kind of, but no..she wasn't going to tell him that. "You had to defend yourself. They made a choice. You made a choice to not kill an innocent. Noble. Honorable." She let her gaze go to the sword, briefly, then looked back at him...somewhat aware she may have to end up trying to do something...even if it meant a fight; magic to...whatever fresh hell was going on. "You are good,"
52
53[2018/12/24 01:30]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil):  she emphasised that word,"Jona. Focus on me. Remember here. Remember,,,us," Gods, don't make me have to set him on fire. Damn you. "She let one hand go behind her then, and was slowly letting some energy accumulate...just in case..and hopefully hidden. If her words didn't work...ah hell.
54
55[2018/12/24 01:40]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me turns his head slowly to look at her. Though the sense of rage was still rolling off him in waves, his demeanor has shifted. Something different now. As if it is not even him there. His gaze, his twinned voice, now seem empty. Hollow. Eerie and disturbing. Like a being that cares not for life or the world. His hair has become flame as well. Silvery writhing tendrils of silver fire. "I am not a murderer..." he says with a strange sounding sort of chortle. "Oh but I am. How many innocents did I slay in the name of the gods' vengeance? How many 'monsters' did I put down who's only sin was being born?" Jona's words at least would show that somewhere inside that strange new presence, he still exists. Perhaps he is fighting the influence. Perhaps he is summoning it. Only the gods might know the truth. "For the life of one, three were sacrificed. This too, is their fault. "Good..." he lets out a slow, almost demonic sounding cackle. "Good... no. No. Good and evil. They are lies. Illusions. They do not exist."
56
57[2018/12/24 01:40]  Jonaleth Stormcrow:  Ok now, these words were definitely not Jona's, at least not the usual Jona. Although the fact he has made no move, has not attacked or made any aggression, shows that he is still there... somewhere. He does focus on her, his gaze locked on hers.... he just stares at her, with that empty, otherworldly stare.
58
59[2018/12/24 01:55]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me tensed, and continued to let power build behind her back, this was not going well. "You were used," she was stalling now. "Used. Look at me. No one should have to play executioner...not like that." She narrowed her eyes, steeling herself against the empty..thing that was in front of her now. "Jona," she said his name sharply, forming a ball of blue fire, much like what she exploded part of a large rock with, behind her back. "Whatever you are..whatever is going on right now..." she drew her lips into a thin line,"Fight. Don't let this win. FIGHT." She had the power ready, now..and was still hoping to Cybele she didn't have to use it. "We can fight this. Together. Come back to me." She had serious doubts it was actually him, now...something had happened. "The Gods were the monsters." She went there. Hello, Gods..how are ya? "Fight," she repeated, still stern, but lying underneath...maybe just a plea for the man she cared for.
60
61[2018/12/24 02:01]  Ariell: /me the Pixie darted toward the top house in the elven village after waking up and headed straight to the waterfall. Without any hesitation or worrying she started undressing her leather outfit and when naked, she slipped into the pixie bath held by the statue's hand. 
62
63[2018/12/24 02:13]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me stood there, nearly completely cloaked now in the silver fire. Whatever dark force was influencing him now had almost full control. The flames of his sword have gone black, and purple, and give off an aura of hate. He stares at her now, the same way a man might to an ant, or a god might to a man. As if she is worthless, insignificant, not worth his time. "He is almost mine now, little elf. Soon. Very soon. He will give himself to me and then you shall all know what what a true monster is." His hands clench around the hilt of that sword, and he raises it high into the air, about to strike her down. Muscles flex, and jerk, but the blow does not come. He tries again, and again. "NO! FOREST BITCH! I. WILL. HAVE. HIM." His voice is pure thunder. Echoing, booming, inhuman, but even as he screams these words into the heavens something begins to happen. The marks on his hands, Cybele's blessings, begin to glow. Bright. Hot. Holy power radiating in powerful waves. Her fire beginning to spread over his body,
64
65[2018/12/24 02:13]  Jonaleth Stormcrow:  beating back the silver fire. Driving it away. Devouring it. Canceling it out. "NOOOOOOO! HE WAS MINE! WHEN I AM FREE I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER." when finally the blue flames have cloaked him, and his sword has returned to it's proper state, the fires recede. He looks at Indis, he is once again himself. Confusion on his eyes, his mouth opens as if he is about to speak but then his eyes roll back into his skull. His entire body goes limp, and he collapses with a crash loud enough to wake the dead. He lays unconscious on the floor, the sword no longer flaming, the steel cold to the touch.
66
67[2018/12/24 02:25]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me hadn't shrank back, but she wanted to. Oh, she wanted to...even if she did have fire ready behind her back. "No," she said, surprising herself with how firm it was,"whatever you are...no." That may have been slightly more shaken. When he lifted the sword, she began to pull her hand out from behind her back, ready to do what she felt she had to...unfortunately. But then, something happened...and she paused, her fiery hand frozen in place along with the rest of her. He began to scream at...someone, and then she saw it. The blue fire. Cybele. Gods, she was helping him. If she weren't pretty much freaked, she would have cried...from relief. When the fire cleared away and he looked normal..confused, but normal, she started to take a step toward him, and then his eyes rolled back, and his large body hit the floor, shaking it even under her feet. Shit. She shook her hand to try and dispel her fire, and went to his side, her knees hitting the floor, and she lifted his head, placing it on her lap. No way she
68
69[2018/12/24 02:25]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil):  could move him...she'd have to get the rest of the guards still available. "Jona," she said quietly, brushing her fingers through his hair..."Jona..." she would, indeed, slap the side of his face,"but he was out...probably. Damn. She leaned down and rested her forehead on his, then pressed a kiss there before she turned her head, calling out for guards. Tonight, they would be sworn to secrecy on pain of her burning them alive herself if necessary, and they would put him in her bed...and damn anyone that complained about it.
70
71[2018/12/24 02:26]  Ariell: /me the Pixie was inside the bowl by now, sighing and relaxing in the calm water. The temperature did not seem to affect the petite nature's spirit, her arms were laid on the edge of the bowl. Her ears twitched and she perked up, looking around when she heard the screaming and commotion, watching what was going on in the house nearby and taking mental notes... she remained quite unphased though, washing her legs and back, at peace, seemingly nothing short of  large scale apocalypse could interrupt her morning routine. It seemed that common sense and normal fears and values could not be applied the little fairy that might feel more excitement for new type of baked goods than when seeing armies of hell descending upon an empire of man. Hearing the thundering voice she looked up briefly, just to double check if there were some dark clouds or not. In the meantime, as the pixie bathed, the moss on the shrine got greened... the water around got slightly more pure if possible and some of the old roots even sprouted 
72
73[2018/12/24 02:26]  Ariell: /me the Pixie  wherever her kind goes, the nature grows more alive, especially when close to places of Fae power, of which shrines to fae goddess could be considered one. 
74
75[2018/12/24 02:31]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me is simply... out cold. Unconscious. Nothing and no one able to rouse him. He is even completely cold to the touch. There is no Jona, there is only........... absolutely nothing. Even his sword, bound to his soul, has gone utterly dormant. Whatever just happened, it won't be resolved now. Not here. Not tonight.
76
77[2018/12/24 02:40]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me waves the guards over, wanting them to bloody move faster, and she moves some of his hair back from his face. Cold. He was cold. Oh hell. She began to feel for some sign of...gods, don't be dead. That made her tense up, and she shook her head. No. No he wasn't dead. No. Not going to think of it. She actually snapped at the guards then, losing her usual composure around them, and made them jump..moving faster to start getting him up and carried to the bed.
78
79[2018/12/24 02:41]  Ariell: /me the Pixie turned her head to the side, watching the large man collapse. She did tense a little bit, ready to move that way to help out one of the elves she came to think in possessive terms about, but then the guards rush in and she relaxed again as it seemed her help was not needed, so she continued her bath, quietly observing to be able to write down al she sees around here. She raised her petite legs up, resting her feet at the opposite edge of the bowl than her head was. She just relaxed and soaked in. She seemed slightly more cheerful when she observed the otherwise composed elf be more impulsive, letting her emotions show... she did enjoy when elves revealed their true selves, under the facade of civility and composure. 
80
81[2018/12/24 02:41]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me is not dead. Definitely not dead. He has a pulse, and breath, both of which remarkably steady and calm for the situation. He just... somehow, isn't there.
82
83[2018/12/24 02:44]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me and is apparently moved to a bed... somewhere
84
85[2018/12/24 02:45]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me follows as he is, indeed, carried off to this mysterious bed..somewhere in the chambers.
86
87[2018/12/24 02:47]  Ariell: /me the Pixie keeps a watchful guard from her bath-perch, ready to assist if the situation turns to need her assistance... she might be mischievous and a general danger to elves around her, but once they earned her affection, she was also fiercely protective of them. 
88
89[2018/12/24 02:51]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me slips out of the bedchamber sometime later, and just looks...worried. Freaked out. Possibly suddenly exhausted and old. He was alive...which was the good part, but she was in an odd position of not knowing what to do. Running an aggravated, shaking hand through her hair, she goes to her desk and leans on the rail behind it. Muttering, she slams the palm of her hand against the rail, hard...and then just leaves it there, throbbing...and she stares at the waters below.
90
91[2018/12/24 02:54]  Ariell: /me the Pixie looked up, eying the elf slowly, tapping her lips and then crawling out of her bath... with a quick spell she dried her body, her eyes briefly glowing violet when she used magic as she quickly dressed up and would flutter much slower than usual toward the elf on the balcony. Rummaging in a pouch at her belt she took out a piece of cherry flavored hard candy and without words stretched out her hands, offering it to Indis. 
92
93[2018/12/24 02:57]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me looks at Ariell as she flies up, and she sighs..was that a tear? Did Indis really have feels? Shocking. Someone on the floor should just keep playing dead. (:P) She reached for the candy and would actually pop it in her mouth. "Thank you," she said softly.
94
95[2018/12/24 03:01]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: ((oh, shoot, I might need a new shape and new clothes and stuff for that....
96
97[2018/12/24 03:02]  Ariell: /me the Pixie reached out to caress the elf's arm... she was not always hyper and mischievous it seems... perhaps old age was catching up to her. "Might try to look for a mage knowledgeable about mind. It is... possible for soul to be transfered and for it to temporarily leave body." She mentioned softly in a 'by the way' manner, thinking the elf might look more hopeful given something to plan to help. 
98
99[2018/12/24 03:05]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me sighs, and seems lost in thought on that point. After a moment, spent silent save for the sucking of the hard candy, she looks at her,"Nariel," she said softly. "You could...perhaps you could ask after your An Banrion to come to me. Just...tell her I have a problem I need her for. Should she not be able to..." her words trail off,"I will look for a mage."

101[2018/12/24 03:08]  Ariell: /me the Pixie nodded. "I will ask her if I see her. Although I am not officially aligned with the local Fae. My work makes me observe elves and drow more than other fae right now. But I can move around fast and can sniff out other fae, so I will ask for you." Nodded. "Although someone with divine specialization may come in handy too, in case demon or devil is involved." She takes up a more matter of factly tone that she used back during her teaching days 
102
103[2018/12/24 03:11]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me nods, and she leans on the railing, resting her forehead in her hands. "This...may be...is, my fault. I pushed him." She scowled at herself, "He will be alright," she said, firmly, mostly to convince herself. "I am not familiar with anyone that has divine specialization at present...at least not available. Nariel...I hope...will be my best bet."
104
105[2018/12/24 03:12]  Ariell: /me the Pixie nodded. "Hmm, drow can be very knowledgeable when it comes to demons. Perhaps there are even some tieflings around. And I met a lamia witch around that might also be useful... in case Nariel does not know." 
106
107[2018/12/24 03:19]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me purses her lips and thinks about that,"I am..not certain about drow. They are not always..friendly to us above ground. Tieflings, perhaps...lamia..." she wrinkled her nose up,"I am not certain about that either. I do not know much about them." She looked at her,"I just..I know I cannot let him...die," she said quietly. "Gods, it is probably wrong...being that I am Tari and he is my guard...but.." she let those words go unsaid.
108
109[2018/12/24 03:22]  Ariell: /me the Pixie giggled a bit. "You elves are sometimes silly. What does position have to do with anything? I care not if one is a drow slave I bought or my goddess... I protect them and love them because they are my friends. And I care not if someone is a peasant or a king...or an orc chieftain" Suddenly something dangeorus flashed in her eyes as she got oddly specific. "If they hurt my friends, especially young pixies, I will lock them in a dungeon and torture them for a hundred years... and once their body expires, I will transfer their soul to a new one, until there is nothing left of them... and only then I sell them to a devil." She said, her tone ominous for a second... then the moment of darkness passed and she again smiled cheerfully. "Anyway! I do have some experience with the soul thing if Nariel needs assistance!" Beams 
110
111[2018/12/24 03:26]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me manages a smile,"It is not that simple..sadly, for me..at least. This.." she gestured toward her bedchamber,"is considered wrong because he is not royalty, or an elf..especially. I cannot avoid what I feel, however...even if he does not share such a sentiment." She tensed,"But please, I must ask...tell no one. not yet." She rubbed her temples. Headache. "I..." she paused at the dark moment the pixie had,"I want to help her as well. I would go into the depths to help bring him back out," she said seriously.
112
113[2018/12/24 03:30]  Ariell: /me the Pixie nodded. "Do not feel bad. I will ask you... does the goddess of nature see status... and constraints of society as built by mortals... or does she want us to follow our own will and desires? You elves sometimes get too immersed in the schemes and intrigues... you should enjoy the life and its beauty. Dance wildly without care in the world throughout midsummer... sing and feast and dance throughout winter solstice... enjoy simple pleasure of life. I promise to tell no one, unless you endanger yourself by keeping such secrets. And I will help you look around for solution." 
114
115[2018/12/24 03:46]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me sighs,"She...probably does not. It is our society that does. It is a heavy crown to bear at times..." she smiled,"We do not always get the choice to be carefree and dance wildly without a care." She shrugged,"Telling no one is...for the benefit of ourselves, and the people here...until we know what we are...if.." she paused, "we will have to see if he comes back."
116
117[2018/12/24 03:48]  Ariell: /me the Pixie nodded and shot a look toward where the man was. "Hopefully. It is too sad to see mortals come and go... again and again. You befriend one and in a blink of an eye they wither and pass away. But he looks powerful. His body should handle the strain. So  just his soul needs fixing now." Tapped her lips. "Hmm, if some aspects of your society are not to your liking... you could slowly change them as the one in charge. Bring your kind close to the fey kind, since you are allied now. Be the free spirits you were created to be." 
118
119[2018/12/24 03:54]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me nods,"It is sad. They live...so briefly." She looked toward her bedchamber,"He is that. I just hope we can..fix his soul, as you say." She purses her lips,"You may be right...but change comes slowly, and difficultly, for us. Perhaps fae need to intermingle with us more..indeed. Bring a little more light and relaxation within our walls."
120
121[2018/12/24 03:56]  Ariell: /me the Pixie blinked, slightly confused by the elf's words. "But... aren't elves the same way? Withering quickly a mean..." Then she looked around. "It is still early, but I suppose I will go look around to see if I can find Nariel. The sooner the better. He seems to be stable, but weeks and months in that state would take toll on the body,and weak body can weaken the spirit, making it weaker... harder to resist influence of hostile entities." 
122
123[2018/12/24 03:59]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me frowns at the idea of that,"Yes...perhaps soon, so we do not have to worry about that as much..." she paused,"We are capable of living for a long time...it is only if we are killed or we tire and decide to go...beyond on our own that our lives come to an end...though not many live past a thousand years. I suppose it is a bit wearing on the body and mind..." she shrugs,"I will let you know I am closer to that age."
124
125[2018/12/24 04:01]  Ariell: /me the Pixie nodded. "That is what makes you wither... pixies are ageless. We do not age in body, sure... but the important part is we do not age in mind. You can see in elf's eyes if they are a thousand years old... but with a pixie, you would find it difficult to see  if she is 18 winters old or 18 thousand, for there is no apparent difference. Perhaps on a more joyful day I will tell you the story of how pixie came to be." 
126
127[2018/12/24 04:03]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me smiles faintly,"Yes, perhaps later...I would enjoy learning of the pixie. One is...never too old to learn." She looks out over the water,"I may go back into the room and keep watch over him..see if there are any changes over night."
128
129[2018/12/24 04:04]  Ariell: /me the Pixie nodded. "If his soul is connected t yours by strong emotions, your presence and your voice may make a difference. Hmm I will bake something for you and make you something to drink when I come back, so you can remain here, watching over him!" Smiled brightly and finally waved and darted toward the sky to descend upon the Fae forest. 
130
131[2018/12/24 04:06]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me sighs, and forces a smile, waving to her as she departs,"I will look forward to seeing you return, then." And with that, she tiredly wandered back into her bedchamber to go...stare at walls and wait, probably.
132
133[2018/12/25 20:14]  Anjire: /me looks over at Nariel, such a display of emotion on the unicorn, ears, flanks, tail and hooves flow through a mix of anger, concern, hope, fear and anxiety.  He prances, he snorts, he tosses his mane while his hooves and tail are unable to keep still.  His gaze flits from Nariel to Jona laying on the bed both chained and bound by magic.  He doesn't give greeting as he doesn't trust his voice or words at the moment. 
134
135[2018/12/25 20:21]  Thiidel: /me looks to Anjire momentarily, frowning a bit and walking over to him. She talks to him softly, not wanting him to be so upset. "Are you going to be all right?" she whispers to him, not wanting to draw attention. She can't feel what he feels, but at least she can make sure he'll be okay to stay. 
136
137[2018/12/25 20:25]  Nariel: /me waves her hand as she leaned against the stone fireplace. “There is nothing to apologize for...I saw with my own eyes that it was not him...You say you believe he was possessed?” She asked as she glanced over from Indis to Anjire and noting his expression. “When I touched him..Normally I can..” She paused for a moment to try to find a proper word in the common language for her thought.  “...hear..the whispers of a living things essence..I didn’t when I touched him. He was like a empty shell..a husk of some sorts.”
138
139[2018/12/25 20:27]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me slowly starts to come to consciousness. What the hell did Merah do to him to keep him out this long? Or were other magics put in place? His eyes begin to open, slow at first, and then there they are. At first he doesn't move. Doesn't speak. Doesn't make a single sound. He would give no indication what so ever that he is even awake, aside from the opened eyes. He stares straight upwards at the ceiling, his eyes vacant, dead looking, as if he is catatonic. He just lays there. Listening to everything happen. Or, perhaps not.
140
141[2018/12/25 20:30]  Anjire: /me regardless of whether he is going to be okay or not, he isn't leaving.  The events after the ceremony have worked to strip him of his calm nature. It wasn't just what happened to his good friend Jona here eating away at that aura.  He does however move to just gently press his foreleg up against Thiidel if she allows wanting contact with another to help give him focus.  As Jona stirs he snorts and then holds his breath. 
142
143[2018/12/25 20:33]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me nods, slowly rising from the chair, "It seemed like it...the voice was...otherworldly. It wasn't him,"she repeated her words from earlier,"I have no idea how the guards let him..." she closed her eyes for a moment. "I do not know what happened if he feels...like that." She turned her back to them to look him over. She looked..worried. "I hope you do not mean he is no longer...there." She took a step closer to the bed, and froze. His eyes were opened, but strange. She moved one step closer then, and muttered his name, nearly too quietly for anyone but him..and herself..to hear, if he heard anything much at all in that moment.
144
145[2018/12/25 20:36]  Thiidel: /me doesn't bother to pester him further. Even if she can't sense auras, she can tell he's not the calmest right now. She does indeed allow him to press his foreleg up against her, her own hand moving to give him slow and comforting pats to ease his nerves ... or at least try to. Usually worked with the horses she used to care for back home to make coin. He's no regular horse, she knows this, but ... it might help a little. 
146
147[2018/12/25 20:38]  Nariel: /me shook her head. “I don’t know what that means....In undeath the body withers but the essence remains...this was like the inverse…..What happened to him last night? Ariell Came to me in a panic and said you both were in trouble.”
148
149[2018/12/25 20:41]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me would after a time finally start to move. At first, just his head, as he looks around himself. Yet, even as he does so it is as if he is not truly seeing. Not the building, not the fires, not the people or creatures. It is as if he is staring through them, past them, at something that is simply not there. He seems calm, at first. Until Indis drawls close, triggering.... something. Suddenly his entire body would thrash and buck. He cries out in rage, not like his previous emotionless. He strains against his chains as hard as he might. So hard it seems as if he might snap every muscle in his body, and the rend the bed asunder. "Monsters! Filth! YOU KILLED THEM! YOU KILLED THEM ALL!" His body twists and turns as he tries to rip free of his bindings. Whatever he is seeing, or experiencing, it is clear his mind is not here. Not at this moment. "UNBIND ME COWARDS. I WILL WREAK BLOODY VENGEANCE UPON YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!"
150
151[2018/12/25 20:48]  Anjire: /me responds immediately to the touch from Thiidel.  While, he might be a mythic unicorn he spent 20 years as pretty much domesticated for dragonkin.  The anxious motions start to taper off.  He looks to Nariel and then Indis when she moves letting out a hopeful whicker.  The sound turns into a whinny when Jonas stirs only to have him shout those words.  His ears splay flat and he appears as if slapped across the cheek.  This is not his friend, a hoof STAMPS upon the floor to emphasize his thought.  He wonders what has posed him turning his gaze back to both Indis and Nariel hoping they can help somehow. 
152
153[2018/12/25 20:48]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me flinches as he begins to thrash about and scream about killings, and she, not thinking at the moment, moved closer beside the bed, "Jona..." she said quietly, and then louder, shouting his name over his own shouting. It felt like a repeat of the night before, loosely. "Jona! Look at me!" She had reached through the fire wall before, which didn't seem to phase her, but for now...she wasn't going to try such with him awake and obviously upset. (riiiight, right) She swore, in her own language, and just repeated herself once more."It's...Indis. Remember." Bloody well remember me, you...she let that thought trail off, and seemed to just block the others out for a moment.
154
155[2018/12/25 20:51]  Thiidel: /me smiles as she manages to calm Ajire, for ... the moment until Jona begins stirring. She steps back a bit and raises her dominant hand to her sword, her heart racing in her chest as she sees this man just thrash about like a raging lunatic. This isn't Jona, she's sure it isn't. She's ready to strike the man down if he breaks out of his binds, but ... is definitely scared. A little. On the inside. 
156
157[2018/12/25 20:56]  Nariel: /me would see the instant thrashing and yelling and take a quick step away from the support of the fireplace and protectively towards Indis. She was in no hurry to be used as a purple wrecking ball to yet another elven building but nevertheless Nari would come to stand next to the Tari. Seeing her approach him closer and speak to him, Nari stood closely behind. “...It sounds as if he is acting out a memory..fighting for control but he cannot discern from what is real and what is in his mind….I might have an idea...but I don’t think anyone is going to like it..”
158
159[2018/12/25 21:01]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me suddenly just goes completely limp and placed at Indis' touch, the rage that had possessed him moments ago turning to a deep, gut ripping sorrow. He looks at Indis, but not indis. Tears start to well in his eyes and pour forth like a deluge. "Ysyldae..." he sobs the name, fear and agony both in his voice. "No. it's not you! They killed you! They killed you and...Miasalor and Halanaestra." Elven names all.  "Our children, they.. the things they did... oh gods. They killed you all!" he tries to turn away, but the chains keep him on place so his head turns as far as it is allowed. "Leave me cruel spirit. Torment me no more with the face of my beautiful wife! Dead! All dead!" Nariel is right, in a way. These are memories, but memories being forced upon him by something or someone. if any are sensitive enough, they might just be able to detect that he is somehow connected to his soul in this strange state of his, conscious, but not conscious, but wherever his soul is, it is not here. Not in this place, not even on this plane.
160
161[2018/12/25 21:02]  Anjire: /me watches intently as Nariel steps up.  He doesn't have any type of experience with these things.  Even still he nods his head, "I am willing to help in any manner that will bring the real Jona back. "  He is starting to press more and more heavily against Thiidel as hope crashes against anxiety. - Nariel and Indis' words vs Jona's out cries. 
162
163[2018/12/25 21:05]  Thiidel: /me looks to Nariel, her dominant hand moving to press against the neck of the unicorn leaning against her to calm him. She's scared, by Cybele she is ... but she does not come first. She nods to her. "Whatever you can do, do it. I don't know how long he'll be able to handle being tormented by his past like he is right now." 
164
165[2018/12/25 21:06]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me draws in a breath and takes a half-step back from the bed. She'd never seen him cry, and he looked so...pained. She barely turned her head away from him, showing Nariel she was listening,"I am....up to hear any ideas. I..can't leave him like this," she said softly, and acting on impulse, reached through the flames to place her hand lightly on his chained arm...which she seriously doubted he would be consciously aware of this time. "I will do whatever you need of me."
166
167[2018/12/25 21:14]  Nariel: /me hated even having to say these next words so she just let it out plainly. “We have to kill him...or just nearly. When the body nears death the bond of body and essence..or some call soul cries out...As a banshee my duty is to the passing of souls..To keep such things as undeath and rot form infecting the natural wilds...I do not believe he is dealing with undeath..but I believe something has...infected him. If we bring his body ...medically...or magicly..close to death..I may hear his essence cry out and be able to locate it on the other side….getting it..might be something different altogether.”
168
169[2018/12/25 21:17]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me just lay there, still sobbing, unaware of anything and anyone. He would occasionally repeat the elven names he had cried out, and whisper to them about how he failed them. How he was not there when he needed them and about he misses them and wishes he would have died with them. This sort of thing would g on for some time.
170
171[2018/12/25 21:20]  Anjire: /me 's ears perk up and then splay back.  He is a healer so he isn't sure how he might be able to help almost killing his friend.  Still, he doesn't have experience with this type of thing so he gives a slow meek nod, "I..okay. let let me know how I can help."  He would then take a long deep breath letting it as a sigh as he tries to block misgivings from surfacing. 
172
173[2018/12/25 21:21]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me inhales at the mention of nearly killing him, and watches him. Could she? Her spine stiffened, and she turned to look at Nariel,"Let me....bring him near death. Bloodletting..." something she felt she could control. Knew she could, really. She'd done it before...just, not to nearly kill someone. She turned to look at him, listening to him speak to ghosts, and rested her hand on his forehead, gently. (Ha! Princess Bride references. I knew I liked you.) She looked over her shoulder to Nariel,"Unless you've a method you would...prefer, or someone else has a better idea."
174
175[2018/12/25 21:26]  Thiidel: /me just blinks at the idea of nearly killing a tormented man to ... what, find out where he is? "He ... he seems like he's already in there, isn't he?" Thiidel didn't quite understand this sort of situation. She's seen people go absolutely insane over their past. "I ... know a bit of healing, so we might be able to keep him from dying once the blood letting comes to a stop. If ... it's needed." She trusts the fae's judgement in this. She's not worried about it working. She's worried about it failing ... 
176
177[2018/12/25 21:29]  Nariel: /me ‘s expression seemed as if this entire thing was just beyond the edge of her skillset. “Maybe that...and a healer to give a buffer….I have no idea what is going to happen when we pop the top off that barrel...and find out what’s inside. This situation walks the thin line between the divine and natural magic...and sadly I can only provide guidance in one...I would feel better..with along with a healer and the letting...we had someone in the realms of the divine with us….”
178
179[2018/12/25 21:35]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me turns his head to face upwards again. He is not crying anymore, or raging, or struggling, but his entire body and his eyes seem... tired. Exhausted even, as if he has just waged and emotional or mental battle, and suffered great wounds. When he speaks, even his voice is tired, but determined. Strong, but strained. He is again speaking to someone who is not here. "I will never give in to you. No matter what nightmares you haunt me with, you will not have me. I so swear it."
180
181[2018/12/25 21:36]  Anjire: /me prances happily and gives a quicker whinny, "I am a healer...What do you need of me?"  He eases forward a step eager to be able to do something, anything.  He is mindful of Thiidel making sure that in so stepping forward he doesn't just knock her aside.   He figures Nariel has been so preoccupied with Fae affairs that she has forgotten that he mentioned he was a healer the eve of the meet and greet.  It hadn't come up again and frankly he only had to make use of o his abilities during one night.  The patient had subsequently ran off before he was fully healed.  It may be rather appropo that Jona references nightmares the extent of which may soon be revealed. 
182
183[2018/12/25 21:37]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me purses her lips, and her hands just remain on Jona. It annoyed her, to some degree, that this was the one thing her healing couldn't just pull out of him so she could internalize and deal with it herself...as she'd done with another wound he had previously. "I can heal...though I am not anywhere close to the divine;lest one counts the abilities Cybele blessed me with...though I highly doubt such." She didn't feel very divine, at any rate. "I do not know if we've the time to try and find someone..." she looked at him worriedly, "I don't know how long he will be able to hold like thi-" her words broke off as she turned to watch him as he spoke. She sighed and leaned down, because to hell with it all...and pressed her lips to Jona's forehead.
184
185[2018/12/25 21:38]  Thiidel: /me 's ears twitch up a bit as she hears Jona speak again. She sighs a heavy sigh of relief as he speaks again, and not as a tormented spirit anymore. She looks to Nariel. "... still want to go with that plan, or do you think we can skip that part? Because I very much wish to ..." she mutters. 
186
187[2018/12/25 21:39]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me pursed her lips in her usual i'm thinking fashion as she stepped back in with a rolled up scroll that it appereaed she may not need now as she spotted Nari. Her head canting as she heard the others, "I am no master healer but if it helps wind and air is the element of thought I may be able to calm his mind.. at least a little bit."
188
189[2018/12/25 21:46]  Nariel: /me watched Indis lean over to kiss Jona’s forehead. The gesture brought a warm brief silence to the banshee fae. Looking to Anjire she gave him a nod of her head then looked to Thiidel. “Without a divine… The only way I can communicate and connect with his soul is in near death...and that's usually only to guide them to the other side...I don’t like it either..Too many things that can go wrong….and we still don’t know who is that he is speaking to that's with him..” Nari looked over her shoulder to see Kiana and her offer. “Forgive the personal question...but what is your race? Your wings...Angelic?”
190
191[2018/12/25 21:48]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me becomes silent yet again, as Indis kisses his forehead, and his entire body once again goes limp. His eyes close. Whatever torments his soul was being subjected to either have ended, or his body and mind are too weak to connect to it any longer. Perhaps his mind found a way to shield it's self before he goes truly mad. It would be difficult to tell for anyone not strongly versed in soul magics, and other planes of existence.
192
193[2018/12/25 21:49]  Thiidel: /me sighs a bit and looks back to Jona, nodding a bit at Nariel's response. "I just ... I don't think this is the kind of sorcery. It ... I want to say it's almost like something else is tormenting him and he's trying to fight against it ... and failing." She runs her hand through her dark hair. "There /has/ to be another way to figure this out, something that doesn't risk his life ... as much ... in the process."
194
195[2018/12/25 21:50]  Anjire: /me hears that there appear to be other healers as well.  He lowers his head, still wanting to be useful but will not deny Indis as she has a longer and closer history to Jonas then he has.  He follows Nariel's question and turns his gaze towards Kiana. 
196
197[2018/12/25 21:56]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me shook her head with a frown, "Not to my knowledge. Unless Avariel have a divine heritage I have never been informed of." her head tilting as she just watched staying back, " I can close open wounds and calm inner warring. Beyond that I do not think I can be much help here.. oh and holding him down if need be."
198
199[2018/12/25 21:58]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me lifts her head, and her eyes had taken on their blue fire once more..though it was just a tiny bit dimmer than usual. "Whatever it is we are going to do, it should be done quickly," she said firmly. "We cannot stand here and debate this for hours. We do not know enough to know if he even has that long." She sighs,"Should I bleed him, I will need cloth, a lot of it...a bowl, a clean blade...needle...thread..." she began to rattle off things,"clean water..."she looks at the others,"Perhaps we could use someone nearby that can try to make him feel calm...even though he is still now, and restrained." She looked at Nariel,"Should you feel certain enough about this...it may be our only true option at present." She gave Thiidel an apologetic smile, as she didn't seem to be handling the idea well.
200
201[2018/12/25 22:04]  Nariel: /me nodded her head regretfully. “For lack of a better option I can only see that path…..or….” She took a breath still feeling the piñata treatment she had hours before. “....we release him and let who or whatever is in there act it out. Judging what happened last time...it will likely end…” She looks around the neatly kept room. “....messy..”
202
203[2018/12/25 22:05]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me slowly opens his eyes again, but how he seems to be fully conscious and aware. His eyes still seem vacant, dead, as they did earlier in the smithy, and before. He tries to sit up, but is held by the chains. He looks to them, giving his wrists a firm tug, but not any concerted effort to break free. Then he takes in his surroundings. The fire, the people. He blinks a few times. "Chains, beautiful women, and fire..." he says in an eerie, monotone voice. "I've had fantasies like this, you know." he looks towards Indis and Narl. "About the two of you anyway. Together." his head slowly turns again, almost.. robot, unattural, in the movements. "Not about you." he tells Kiana and Thiidel. "But I could oblige." Another sharp tug at his chains. "But if I am going to satisfy all of you I need my freedom." His eyes turn up to Indis as she talks about trying to bleed him. He stares at her in that haunting, dead sort of way. His next words would seem to enforce Nariel's belief of what will happen if they release him.
204
205[2018/12/25 22:05]  Jonaleth Stormcrow:  "If you touch me, I'll kill you." Even more disturbing than the fact he would even make this threat, would be the way he made it. Just so frank, matter of fact, devoid of emotion and.... so sincere.
206
207[2018/12/25 22:07]  Thiidel: /me sighs heavily at what she thinks is a horrible, HORRIBLE idea. Luckily she knows some healing to keep him alive, and Anjire is there too to also help. Thiidel frowns as Jona speaks again, once more in that unnatural, emotionless tone,as she remains silent and lets them ... do what they think is best. 
208
209[2018/12/25 22:12]  Anjire: /me nickers and offers, "It may help and possibly trap the..."  He stops speaking to shiver as this other Jona speaks.  It takes a moment for him to recover, "Err...as I was saying, it may help if...I work the healing as it may trap whoever it seems to be in a lesser spirit form during...well.. the duration of the healing."  He scrapes at the floor trying think if that will even work.  A person or being will be in a fevered dream like state while his body heals.  Their essence  will be in the dreamstate/ethereal world as their spirit avatar during this time. . 
210
211[2018/12/25 22:17]  Thiidel: /me rubs her hand through her hair again and looks outside. "... maybe I should stand watch to make sure no one interrupts ..." she suggests, looking to Nariel and Indis (because player needs to sleep lel) 
212
213[2018/12/25 22:19]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me raises a brow as Jona tries to sit up...or, not Jona, rather. She couldn't see him actually saying those things...out loud. Especially not telling her he would kill her. She just narrowed her eyes at not-Jona in response, and suddenly may have, just a little bit...hoped this bleeding would hurt whatever it was speaking now, and not Jona. "Nariel...I believe we may need him...out," she said, with an amazing lack of emotion..considering the death threat. She was, admittedly, masking being pissed at this...thing. "Anjire..perhaps. I will be able to better focus on cutting steadily if I do not have to also focus on closing things and monitoring it more than I have to." Not that she wasn't going to monitor the cutting closely, but a second pair of eyes never hurt. She turned her head then as NPC infirmary workers began to bring over the supplies she had asked for. When Thiidel speaks, she nods, "That..may be for the best. Interruptions could ruin something."
214
215[2018/12/25 22:22]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me rolled her eyes and groaned, "Good to know I'm to ugly for the grumpy warrior with the fractured brain." remarking blandly and annoyed mildly, arms folding under her bust as she merely eyed the man now considering recanting her offer to help though would not voice this out of not wanting to upset the Tari. Arching a brow wondering how the guards would respond to the threat but staying back unless asked to help to her limited ability. Her powers were better suited for many other things.
216
217[2018/12/25 22:25]  Anjire: /me steps up closer and then lays himself down.  He takes a number of deep breathes to start calming himself and prepare.  He looks to Nariel, "please tell me the instant the other makes his appearance so that I can invoke my healing.  I should keep whatever it is..." he pauses a moment, "well into a more manageable state.  You will be there in on the otherside as well, right Nariel?" 
218
219[2018/12/25 22:26]  Thiidel: /me walks back inside moments later. "I see someone outside, it looks like ... uh ..." She thinks a moment. "... Merah's guard ... um ... the man with the purple eyes?" There we go. Not saying his name. 
220
221[2018/12/25 22:28]  Nariel: /me looked over to Indis as it spoke of them both in a fantasy. She barely could hold a awkward pull of her lips but the seriousness of the situation kept her from doing so. Nariel approached Jonaleth from the opposing side from Indis. Lifting her dark hand to sprawl her fingers over his bare chest. “We will be as swift as we can…” She looked behind her to Anjire then to Thiidel and Kiana. “Should we fall..Jonaleth will need to be healed..If he breaks loose or whatever happens.. We may need to subdue him again..” She herd Anjire. “ I hope to remain in the between..but in all honestly..I don’t know what will happen except..something will happen.”
222
223[2018/12/25 22:32]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me starts to struggle against his bindings, but not like he had before. Not in rage, anger or fear. His strength is immense however, and as he uses all his might to try and escape, the bed beneath him might just start to creak, even twist or bend, just slightly. As the chains are tied to the bed, if he manages to destroy it, the chains would sure fall away. (depending how they were tied.) He looks to Indis with those uncaring eyes as he continues to pull, seemingly unaffected or uncaring that he might be ripping his own body apart just as much as the bed. He is still wounded from earlier. Broken ribs, a wrenched and possibly broken need, but this doesn't seem to be slowing him. "Ask the pretty fae what happened when she tried to hurt me." His voice still empty, hollow, eerie. his eyes showing no emotion, no malice, just... determination. His wrists and ankles are starting to chafe, rip and bleed from the force of his struggles. A Nariel spreads her hands against his bare chest, he seems to start to calm
224
225[2018/12/25 22:32]  Jonaleth Stormcrow:  down, at least for now. "If you wanted me in bed, you only had to ask." he tugs one arm towards her, as far as the chains will allow. "Come now. There's no need for all of this. I won't hurt anyone if they leave me alone. I promise." he gives the arm a harder tug, ripping his skin a little more. "We don't need all this between us. Let me loose and we'll go get that drink you promised."
226
227[2018/12/25 22:35]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me pulls her gaze away to look at Thiidel, "It is...not a good idea for him to be in here, should he approach...please ask him to not come closer. I.." she glanced at Jona,"yes...that." She decided to not say anything further on it. Her attention went to Nariel as she moved to stand opposite her. "When you are ready,"she said, and finished arranging the bowl, cloth, and taking the bone handled blade into her hand,"Before he breaks the bed, preferably..." she said warily...this time deciding to ignore old not-Jona and his yammering.
228
229[2018/12/25 22:37]  Thiidel: /me briefly looks out to where he was and ... sees that he is already gone. She simply shrugs at that. "He seems to have already left," she tells the Tari as she watches what is about to happen. She is now on standby in case they need someone to help heal him back to .... not almost death. 
230
231[2018/12/25 22:38]  Anjire: /me steels himself to nod at Nariel.  His horn would start to glow golden.  This glow would soon start to trickle its way down his mane eventually moving onto his tail. When his tailtuft glows as well, Anjire's eyes close and his ears swivel directing his entire attention upon Nariel for word when to enact his healing powers. 
232
233[2018/12/25 22:43]  Nariel: /me nodded to Indis as Nari also tried to ignore the movements and words from Jona and focus on her task. Letting her eyes drift closed the ambient ash and soot that emanated from her started to rise and stir. Her markings glowing slightly brighter for a moment until she winches and her free hand cups the stab wound on her stomach. The brief distraction seemed to have a brief dimming of her markings before she bared through it and pressed onward. “I’m ready..” She spoke aloud still with her eyes closed and her hand planted upon his chest. The ashy flakes upon closer inspection seemed to perpetually rise from her skin.
234
235[2018/12/25 22:43]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me noticed the chains being ripped at and the bed creaking and probably splintering. Aurora was not going to be happy. inhaling deeply her arms raised over her head as she began moving her fingers  making ruinic symbol of air. Gathering up a large dense amount of air her arms slowly lowered trying to place the pressurized air over Jona, if it worked he would be pinned into place while the two women worked, if not well she'd just have to try again and hope they didnt get harmed in the mean time.

240
241[2018/12/25 22:49]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me inhales. Hoo boy. She held the blade firmly and lowered it down to his flesh, above where she had placed the bowl, and biting her lower lip, she made a cut; quick, deep...and watched the blood begin to come forth, and begin to spill into the bowl. She swallowed, but kept herself together, and began to monitor things from the cut and flow, to how not-Jona was reacting..which was probably not good, at all.
242
243[2018/12/25 22:53]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me turns his head quickly towards Indis, far more quickly than any of his other movements up until this point. "You're going to die." His eyes swivel downwards towards Anjire when the unicorn appears to be summoning magic, acknowledging him for the first time. "And you." Jona just stares at them all blankly for a long time then as everyone seems to be doing... something. "Now, why couldn't you listen to me? Killing all of you is going to make me really tired. Thanks for nothing." Just then his entire body would arch and writhe and try to wrench it's self free. The bed frame twisting and creaking, apart to come apart at the joints, and various other places. Just as it seems the bed might explode from the strain, the powerful magics wash over him, punning him down and entrapping him in their cocoon of pressure. He still tries to struggle, but in vain. Barely able to twitch let alone thrash about. Making it easier to be able to cut into him. "Kill. You. All."
244
245[2018/12/25 22:59]  Thiidel: /me 's hand glow in a subtle healing light, pretty much just waiting for when they need the healers to step in. She frowns as she watches the man writhe and wriggle in vain underneath the pressure he's now under, hoping to any god out there that this works ... 
246
247[2018/12/25 23:00]  Anjire: /me 's ears twitch when Jonas addresses him but he stays focused waiting for Nariel to inform him of the appropriate time to start his healing.  He doesn't want to start too early because that might send the wrong one there instead.  He can't tell if there are more than two, he thinks he counted three personalities or entities judging on the varied reactions. 
248
249[2018/12/25 23:04]  Nariel: /me braced herself against the bed as the down draft pinning Jona down whipped Naris hair wildly as she concentrated. She focused herself to stretch her perception deep into the darkness and waited for his body to weaken. It was like listening for a single voice in a crowd of voices. The bloodletting to be a beacon to spot the right one. She would remain as focused and still as she could not wanting to miss the moment and leave his body with out healing for too long.
250
251[2018/12/25 23:11]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me opened her eyes showing a bright glowing blue as her hair whipped around her wretch flying off, a few strands standing on end. "You Will HUrt No One." her voice almost a deep wind roar  and echo'y as her arms shook slightly fingers staying clinched into claws as she continued to work to keep the pressure on him while the other two women and unicorn worked as fast as they could
252

254
255[2018/12/25 23:18]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me looks up, briefly, from her monitoring of the bleeding, and locks eyes with not-Jona,"Come for me," she said dryly, perhaps a little cold, and then she looked down at the bleeding again. "You won't last long enough," she muttered, and just hoped she was right about that bit. She felt wind move what of her hair had come out of the updo she had on, and she wanted to look toward Kiana, but she couldn't chance it...and opted for placing a cloth over the bleeding while she handed a bowl off to an NPC nurse and replaced it with a new one, removing the cloth.
256
257[2018/12/25 23:21]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me is too tired from all his straining to fight the magics being put on him, right this moment. So he lays still, panting, sweating, trying to catch his breath. "Stop that." He tells indis, in a very straight forward manner. "That hurts and I am going to need my strength to rip your head off your shoulders with my bare hands." For Nari, there would be nothing to sense... yet. No whispers, no trace of essence, nothing. His soul is just... gone. No trace, and whatever or whoever is tormenting him isn't there either. It is as if he is literally just an empty vessel, waiting to be filled by the very first being strong enough to take him. Only after that first bowl is filled, would he start to weakened enough that Nar might be able to hear the very faintest of whispers. They would be weak, and muffled, and unclear, but there would clearly be two voices. Jona's, and another that has not been heard before by any here. It belongs to something.... powerful.
258
259[2018/12/25 23:24]  Thiidel: /me watches ever so silently as she looks between Indis draining him of his blood and Nariel attempting to ... hopefully bring him back to his own body. It is easy to keep her healing magics ready at her finger tips in case they need her, but she doubts they will with Anjire there to do most of it she imagines. 
260
261[2018/12/25 23:28]  Anjire: /me stays ready, the golden glow pulsing now in time to the beating of his heart which has now steadied to a slow focused pace.  As the situation unfolds, and the fact that there doesn't seem to be a soul for Jonas Anjire's healing magic might actually be a detriment rather than a help.  If is forces open the ethereal/dreamworld to such an empty shell it may actually work to allow an entity to fill the shell.  In this case, a particularly powerful entity at that.  He isn't aware of these factors though and can only rely on Nariel making the connections based on his brief explanation of powers. 
262
263[2018/12/25 23:35]  Nariel: /me head twiched as she caught the faint whispers through the veil of voices. Her free hand half way rising as to indicate to the others as the time was nearing. “Su’ja ako upang. {hear my voice -Fae speak-} Nari spoke as her voice seemed ethereal and twin in harmonic. She never tried to guide a essence back through the veil but as she kept her mind in the breach of the between she hoped to push a little further a little closer to better focus on the conflicting essences that remained just beyond clarity.
264
265[2018/12/25 23:39]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me huffed a little though not much. It was rare, very well she had to exert much force or much of her powers for longer than a breath of three. Her robe skirts flying around behind her. Focus purely on keeping Jona safely in place and nohting else the world around her may as well be gone for all she was concerned
266

268
269[2018/12/25 23:44]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me just kept watch on the blood, and well, everything involved with such to make sure she doesn't actually kill him..as tempting as the asshat that keeps talking was making it feel...sometimes. Maybe.
270
271[2018/12/25 23:57]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me has rested, and now would begin to struggle again. At first it seems as if the bleeding is working. Keeping him weak, bringing him closer and closer to death. Closer enough voices could now be heard more clearly, and images might even be seen. If anything is clear, it is that this place is neither a land of living or death, it is something else. Something between. If Nari can see well enough into the void, the limbo, that place between life and death, she would see Jona, trapped in a cage of sorts. It has no bars, no walls, but all about him a thousand horrific images play all at once. Images of people dying all around him. People he loves, people he failed to protect, even those he has slain with his own hand. Tortures he has suffered at the hands of the evils he has hunted. Every evil he has ever seen or experienced bombarding his soul and his mind in a never ending onslaught. Jona himself only able to kneel amongst the carnage, holding his head. Screaming in terror and pain, sobbing in sorrow.  Next
272
273[2018/12/25 23:57]  Jonaleth Stormcrow:  to this 'cage' a being so vile, so evil, and so repulsive it may be impossible to look on without suffering some sort of sickness or temporary mental damage, depending on Nari's endurance and strength. It would look like an angel. Tall, and thin. It's wings black, rotting, oozing some inky filth. It's body half decayed. An undead monstrosity wearing a celestial face. It taunts Jona. Berates him. Tells him he is weak. Worthless. How he fails everyone and causes the death of those he loves, and so much more. Tells him how he can make it all end. Make the pain go away if he only will say 'yes.' Promises him power, and revenge upon those who have hurt him. When nariel's voice rings through, the monstrosity turns to face her and then suddenly would seem to be right in front of her, it's twisted tainted voice the stuff of nightmares. It's eyes black and empty, like looking into the absence of existence. "You will not take him. He is mine. MINE! THAT BITCH GODDESS COULD NOT TAKE HIM FROM ME, NEITHER SHALL YOU!"
274
275[2018/12/25 23:57]  Jonaleth Stormcrow:  The 'Angel' would then release a burst of dark necrotic power, to try and expel the banshee from this unliving realm, and at that very same moment Jona would wrench himself free from Kiana's powers, the bed shattering, pieces of it flying through the room like bomb shrapnel. Suddenly, his eyes become that same inky void the angel had possessed. "He. Is. Mine."
276
277[2018/12/26 00:06]  Anjire: /me 's eyes zoink open and he jumps to his feet.  The pulse of his golden glow ratcheting up several notches.  He affixes Jonas his attention not sure if he should heal or what anymore.  This was certainly not expected.  He holds off for the moment waiting to see what direction is given rather than acting out on his own.  It does seem that healing is needed at this point. 
278
279[2018/12/26 00:08]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me is of course also still bleeding profusely, the player thought he'd add that
280
281[2018/12/26 00:24]  Nariel: /me seemed to be troubled more and more as the images came into focus. She gasped out as the ‘Angel’ confronted her and attempted to expell her with its magic. From the other (living) side it would seem like Nari was just blasted by a wake of something strong. The very ash and darkness of her skin flaking away like a shell in one swift jolt exposing the more fair skin beneath. Like the banshee was just blown right off her. The breaking of the bed and Jona’s sudden shifting jerk would bring Nari nearly to her knees. She caught herself and raised through the ashes of her own scattered form. “As if reclaiming her darkness the ashy haze came right back to her and she raised her hand back to Jona’s chest. His body hopefully physically weak and clearly something else had taken possession of his body, Nari tries now to perform her duty and send the essence in the dieing body back through the between to the otherside. Perhaps a form of banishment or last rights depending on your perspective.
282
283[2018/12/26 00:26]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me huffed heavily falling to one knee as her  spell was broken. A few pieces slicing through her feathers knocking a few loose a large piece  hitting her in the chest causing a wince and cut, splinters in her hair.  Eyes still a glow as her head bowed and hands clasping together. Thumbs  pressed tip to tip, index fingers also pressed forming a triangle both middle fingers bent in a v ring fingers pushing up into a ^ and pinkies also int a V a low chant  coming  from her though the tone sounding more like the wind through chime over actual words as she prepared a new spell trying to prevent Jona from hurting anyone to badly.  The fleeting thought of they were all going to need a serious nap after this
284
285[2018/12/26 00:28]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me was still doing her blood thing when she heard a crack, and another...and then; shrapnel as the bed frame shattered. She felt pieces pelt her, some even piercing her skin, and she stumbled back, the bowl falling to the floor, shattering and creating a spray of blood on everything close enough for it to hit. Stunned, her body seemed to respond instinctively with an aura of blue fire forming around her, and her breath caught in her throat as she heard that voice...and saw those black eyes. Shit. Oh, shit. As she watched Nariel from the corner of her eye...it would have been a sight, and surely stunned her as well...were she not trying to watch Jona..or, rather the thing in him..and the voice felt so..familiar. It created a shudder down her spine. She then, for whatever reason, started to take steps forward, her eyes narrowed and flashing,"Get. The. Fuck. Out. Of. Him." Was she of any use doing that? Probably not, but she was going to try and at least distract him a little to let Nariel attempt whatever she was.

290
291[2018/12/26 00:40]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me stood there smiling at the small amount of chaos he was able to cause, just by making himself known. "I will soon have him. He will give himself over to me willingly, and then I will be reborn. When I bring my wrath to this world, you will all be the first to suffer in endless torment." As he speaks, his body erupts in silver fire. It cloaks him instantly, and wings even begin to form. Massive, angelic wings forged of silver flame. He steps forward towards the edge of the holy barrier, and thrusts a fist against it, causing the entire building to shake.  "Then I will hunt down your gods, one by one, and I will destroy them. Every. Last. One." Then, he'd strike the barrier again, and again. "This world will die. I will usher in the end of all things as I was always meant to do. Nothing shall remain but the void." he strikes the barrier one last time, seeming as if the entire building may rip it's self apart to allow his passage. It is at that moment that Nariel sends her power to strike against him.
292
293[2018/12/26 00:40]  Jonaleth Stormcrow:  Jona's weakness, and the strain it takes the being to maintain this control, allowing you to land a mighty blow indeed. The being lets out a scream to curdle the blood of the most seasoned warrior, and Jona's body is thrown back against the wall, to slam against it and slump to the floor. The flames, gone. His eyes for a brief moment almost seem to return to normal, and he looks at his surroundings in horror. A weak, trembling voice.. Jona's voice, his real voice softly begs. "Help... me..." before he slips unconscious again. The angel, while not sent to his final rest, would be injured now, weakened. Unable to take Jona again for some time.
294
295[2018/12/26 00:46]  Anjire: /me would hold off the healing letting Thiidel perform her healing magic.  His was to be used for a special circumstance and he awaits Nariel's go ahead still.  It seems there is no entity to try and trap or force into its spirit form.  [[will let someone NPC Thiidel's spell.  I will stick around for one more round of poses but I am fading fast ]] 
296
297[2018/12/26 00:50]  Nariel: /me was pushed back by the blow back sending Jona against the wall. Nariel falling to her knees and looking almost like a dalmatian, parts of her skin fair while others dark as the ash tried to recover but Nari looked so weak. She managed to look back to Anjire, Thiidel and Kiana as she cried out. “He’s back but dieing...heal..heal..”
298
299[2018/12/26 00:52]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me released her binding spell, unconscious or not she'd not risk him attacking again.  Finishing her  chant  both hand shot out as if throwing invisible ropes around the now slunked body.  huffing heavily beads of sweat rolled down her face. Throwing off her robe she'd rest on all fours, "T..that sh..should hold him f..for now."  head hanging as she panted a bit grateful she'd worn a thinner dress under her heavy robe. Standing she inhaled deeply for a moment or two letting the air fill and revitalize her. Both she and Thiidel motioning to heal the man. Thiidel's doing what Thiidel's did. Kiana closing the open wounds her body starting to woggle to much more use would cause arcane sickness
300
301[2018/12/26 00:58]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me glares at the...being. "No. No you will not," she says firmly, and took another step toward him,"Not while I still breathe." Which might not be long if she doesn't shut up, eh? Yeah. As he flared up in the silver fire, it would seem as if she tried to match him, subconscious or not, with her own blue fire. Though, once he began to strike at the barrier Aurora had erected, she felt herself wince internally from the shake of everything around them. Oh, hell. She tried to keep his attention, and...maybe, it worked. She didn't know...but Nariel touched him, and suddenly she was aware of a scream that made her feel like her legs would collapse under her. It was...horrific; and thankfully short-lived. When Jona was flung back against the wall and slumped down, that was all she needed to propel her forward, though she ended up on her knees somewhere in that motion, and she was at his side...and her glowing hands began to lower toward the first thing she came to...the deep cut she had caused. And she would begin
302
303[2018/12/26 00:58]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil):  to close her eyes and start trying to focus on that part of him, visualizing the reforming of slice capillaries, veins...muscle..epidermis; the remaining blood being trapped back in the veins. She sucked in a sharp breath as she did this, and if anyone would look at the side of her tunic, they would see the light material start to turn red...though she seemed to be almost ignoring it...unless they noticed the pained look on her face.
304
305[2018/12/26 01:01]  Anjire: /me unleashes his glow and it pours into Jonas body till it has left the unicorn completely.  A strong pulse from Jonas would suddenly push the entire blasting back into Anjire making the stallion rear up.  Once he settles back down the unicorn would state in a shocked whinny, "Jona..he he has no spirit....I..I can not touch him to...to heal." 
306
307[2018/12/26 01:08]  Nariel: /me had no ability to heal so her part was over. Nariel slowly rises to get her feet underneath her and move to look over the broken bed to Jona and Indis. Seeing the reddening cloth Nari took notice but also saw how hard everyone was working to repair Jona’s drained body back from the brink. The images she had seen still vivid in her head and the necrotic magic still knocked her and her magic silly.
308
309[2018/12/26 01:10]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me is somehow magically placed on a bed that hasn't even been delivered yet since he looks kinda stupid half laying under a bed that technically doesn't exist
310
311[2018/12/26 01:18]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me inhales through her clenched teeth, eyes squeezed so tightly the coloring her eyes could see behind her eyelids turn red, and then black..and back and forth. Her body hurt, but she pressed on...dimly aware of what Anjire said, which was concerning..but she had to keep trying on her end. Her body did seem to sway slightly, but she moved one hand over his torso, her head tilting slowly as if she was trying to feel for something under the surface. Behind her hands as they moved, his skin would have a trail of blue fire that would gradually fade. Inside her own body, it felt like ribs were..cracking. Oh,it hurt...but she dealt with it, clenching her teeth tighter, and continued on...though she herself was getting weaker from pulling it all into herself.
312
313[2018/12/26 01:19]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me huffed and collapsed to the floor as she closed up the open outward wounds. Thiidel and Indis working on the inward ones. Noticing the blood mark on Indis's side Kina would stand, barely, and stumble to the shelves retrieve some bandages, needle thread, just in case, a jar with aloe vera and honey, and turmeric, Wobbling her was over to Indis seeing two or three of her for a mom,ent
314
315[2018/12/26 01:22]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me has been healed all that he can be healed for now, thanks to the efforts of everyone. His body too weak to take any more drastic alterations for a day or so
316
317[2018/12/26 01:22]  Anjire: /me looks to Nariel now and nickers, "Are you okay, Nariel?  Are you hurt as well?  I can try to heal you you are in need."  His voice full of concern since see seemed to take the brunt of whatever it was that possessed Jona. 
318
319[2018/12/26 01:27]  Nariel: /me saw Kiana move to address Indis’s apparent wounds as Indis still focus on her work willing to go to her bitter end if need be. Nari moved to place her hand on Jona and she seemed relieved as she at least the right whispers in the right body for now. Turning to Anjire as most of her body had reformed her dark coloured skin except maybe the stab wound caused by iron that was troublesome for her body to heal. Her face still kinda hurt and that blacksmiths table Jona threw her onto wasn’t doing her any favors. Nari just nodded to Anjire. “What ever you can spare..” She looked over to Indis. “He’s going to be alright…” She said softly to her hoping to ease her neck breaking focus on Jona.
320
321[2018/12/26 01:33]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me unless stopped she'd pull up the side of the Tari's tunic gingerly dabbing away the blood long enough that it would not be spilling out long enough to apply the healing salve thickly to the open wound. Giving a small wave of her hand for a minute to help it dry at least a minute  Moving in a bobbong back and forth to do a few wrapps of a bandage and tying it into place. Panting heavily as she tried ot stay standing
322
323[2018/12/26 01:35]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me sucked in sharply, and she let a few choice elvish words slip out that were not for innocent ears..and she sank back on her knees beside Jona. Her torso ached, she was bleeding, and exhausted. Her body swayed once more, and she caught one hand, lightly, on Jona's body, her eyes fluttering opened. She managed a wry smile and her already pale skin seemed to get a bit more pale. She winced when Kiana began to dab at the blood and apply the salve, tensing from the sting of the wound being tended to. Whenever she finished, Indis would just let herself sink backward, beside Jona's body, and just half-sit there, still paler than normal, and not willing to move...as drained as she felt.
324
325[2018/12/26 01:38]  Anjire: /me lowers his head in a bob to Nariel and focuses for a moment before the glow shoots itself into Nariel.  Hopefully there is a soul(spirit) to heal or else it will be the same affect as what happened with Jona.  There Nariel's spirit form would reveal itself to Anjire but being a Banshee would probably be the same form in the ethereal realm as it appears material realm.   Likewise, Nariel would get a glimpse of Anjire's "spirit form"  that has been rather altered due to the interference from the dragonkin. 
326
327[2018/12/26 01:47]  Nariel: /me had a soul/spirit/essence maybe a bit purer that one would expect of a Daughter of Death so Anjire’s healing would not be diminished. Her wounds would start to mend with the aid of the magic and even fight off a bit of the iron poison. Meanwhile Nariel was looking over Jona. “Most of him is still traped…” She tried to explain the visions that she saw. ((Easier to read Jona’s post above))... but the thing that was doing this to him is banished for the moment...Like a prisoner staying in a unlocked cell...The path is clear for him and when he wakes ….Maybe he will be better… But I don’t think this is over...We just got to see what he….we are up against.”
328
329[2018/12/26 01:49]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: (at the very least he might be a tiny bit less of a murder bot for a couple days lol)
330
331[2018/12/26 01:53]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me sat on the floor and pulled a water skien out of her pouch taking a deep drink offering some to the others who were still awake enough to drink," If what we saw is an inclination some one with a deep connection to the divine will have to delve in to combat the darkness.. I would guess." coughing a few times trying not to pass out
332
333[2018/12/26 01:53]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me lets out a deep breath and looks up at Nariel, slowly. "I...we...need to get him out of there," she said from her perch on the floor,"I will not see him stuck in...that...forever." She groaned and started to push herself off the floor, slowly,"We need help."She moved stiffly, and looked to Kiana,"If you may...see if the Chantry in Myrinne has any divine...." she winced,"just anyone. Anywhere...divine. We are going to need them."
334
335[2018/12/26 01:58]  Anjire: /me Nariel would catch a glimpse of the unicorn with a much more twisted horn.  The halter instead of being gold is a glowing fiery red and additional bindings in the same fiery red chains are arrayed about his entire body  <  will purchase - https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/ZAD-Teegle-Chain-Harness/15583115  soon>    Upon the chains draconic runes shift and slide about.    As the healing completes the ethereal visage is replaced.  Anjire gives a nod to Indis agreeing that Jona should not be kept here.  He nickers, 'If you can steady Jona on my back I can help carry him." 
336
337[2018/12/26 02:02]  Nariel: /me had no love for the city that the tari spoke of and it showed in her expression but hearing indis and looking to Jona and what it meant to her. Nari could only nod her head in agreement with her. Looking to Kiana. “I believe your right...what I saw and what I felt is beyond me beyond natural magic...I can only provide a bridge. If it means seaking the help from ….them..” She barely could even manage to refer to them in that context. “Then so be it…” Jona’s glimse to her would raise a single eyebrow from the banshee. There seemed to be much more about this unicorn than one would think. “It would seem I’m not the only one that dances in the darkness…” She would mutter just under her breath. Letting it go for the moment nari looked back to the others and Jona. “Where should we take him in the meantime…..please...no where near a blacksmith…”
338
339[2018/12/26 02:08]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me pushed up barely standing, thankful her elemental strength was all around and readily aviable so recover would still be needed but not as long as some types would need. Her head giving a shake as she was still seeing two of every one, "I though The Tari said we can not leave him in There.. the um nightmare realm place not in here.. did I miss hear?" blinking as she shook a bit, "Is it alright if I go after I have recovered?"
340
341[2018/12/26 02:10]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me winces and leans on a beam for a moment. "I...would say back to the castle, however..." she looked at Jona, "we may, unfortunately, need more chains just in case....a precaution. I will keep the keys." She sighed,"To the castle, at least for now...someone go gather chains from the smithy. I will...inform Aithne later and give her some coin."
342
343[2018/12/26 02:14]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me wrapped an arm around her side as she muscles cramped form strain, "My air binds should hold for a while unless he gets a energy surge.. with how much blood you let out that will take a while unless the creature is very very god level powerful and dangerous in which case we'd all be dead right now instead of wounded and exhausted." wood chips still in her hair, feathers on the floor, chest still bleeding lightly. possible bruise on her forehead.    (rest well nari)
344
345[2018/12/26 18:26]  Anjire: /me is at the shrine paying his respects.  It has taken him 2 days to do so with everything that has been going on.  He looks refreshed today, a new unicorn pelt back to being immaculate and his mane silky smooth like water.  As he turns from the shrine he notices Indis, "Ooh, Greetings Indis"  bows deeply while his tail gives a great big sweep swoohs behnd him. 
346
347[2018/12/26 18:29]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me walks down the stairs from her chambers, slowly, wincing because healing from her own healing was a slow, aggravating pain. Her ribs felt terrible, and the cut on her side, still bandaged, was aching with her heartbeat. She had also not slept, giving that she spent her time awake watching Jona out of caution and paranoia. Once down near the waters, she spotted Anjire, and she smiled faintly. "Vedui," she replied, and placed a hand on her abdomen. Ow. "He still sleeps," she said softly, her gaze going up to the upper floors.
348
349[2018/12/26 18:33]  Anjire: /me 's ears perk up and he eyes you with deep concern, "Are you hurt? " an obvious question but such just seems to jump to one's lips before thoughts catch up properly.  "If Aurora is not available, I can help you.  Or try, seems another today I was not able to properly attune my magic with to heal, "  He looks upwards, "as with Jona." 
350
351[2018/12/26 18:37]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me smiles, "It is what happens when I heal others...a trade." She winces and lifts the corner of her tunic, just to show the bandages in nearly the same spot as the cut she had made on Jona. "For everything I heal, I take on that pain..and some of the injury. It can be aided a little, but the majority has to heal on its own." She frowned briefly at the mention of Aurora,"Aurora has...decided to no longer be among us. She has other things she wishes to attend to. Unfortunately,this means our infirmary is without a leader, once again..." she shakes her head,"but my concerns are making certain that Jona is well, so that we do not have a repeat of yesterday, or worse....we cannot withstand any tragedies."
352
353[2018/12/26 18:44]  Anjire: /me Nods his head, "I see. "  And then realizes that his conversation this morning with Aurora was not that she had business to attend to and that she was leaving to attend to it but that she was leaving leaving.  He ponders, "And is Thiidel ready to take on the extra duties?  I think she mentioned she was helping Aurora out.  Or was there another foxling like being. Well, either way I would offer my services to help if either can not keep up with the need."  His mind is a little fuzzy.  He turns back to you looking at the bandage, "Are you using any herbs to help? Or do they interfere with your magic? " 
354
355[2018/12/26 18:50]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me sighs, "I..do not know. I have yet to speak with her on this. Aurora was...a Captain under Merah, and the lead healer. Thiidel would have to possibly take on both of those things, unless she merely wishes to just work within and not run the entire thing herself." She pauses,"In that case, I may have to monitor the infirmary until I find someone else....and, no...I have not used in herbs just yet. It does not interfere, but it is not anything more than something to keep infection and pain down. The pain...I can handle."
356
357[2018/12/26 18:56]  Anjire: /me makes a face, "I see.  Well, I think that  may be too much responsibilities.  I think, "he looks up at Jona, "you need to be able to keep yourself close here at the palace till things resolve.  I would be happy to take on the duties, temporarily so that you should not worry on another weighty manner. I have been meaning to ask you about possibly setting up more permanancy here in Tal En'Anar.  There appear to be too many Fae with grudges that I feel unconformable amongst my own kind.  I do intend to talk to Nariel about it but everytime I go to bring it up...well.."  He shifts, "some major event seems to crash down on me. 
358
359[2018/12/26 19:08]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me nods,"It may be. I think...it may be what led Aurora to have to leave, in part." She took, looked toward the upper floors,"Yes..I should probably stay about in case he awakens...and to see if he is himself." She looked troubled at that thought,"If he..." she shook her head,"Yes...if you wish to stay and help, we would appreciate it. As for being here permanently, I do not see why not. We...have a vampire among us, and Jona.." though the idea of he vampire seemed to..disturb her to a point,"we take no issue with you here."
360
361[2018/12/26 19:13]  Anjire: /me visibly winces when you mention the vampire part.  Yeah, he wasn't comfortable about that when he first encountered Rei just walking around.  Mind you it was in broad daylight but that didn't dawn(pun intended) on the unicorn till much later how odd that was.  It would take some getting used to on the stallion's part probably easier done then getting over his phobia of wolves.  He smiles and gives a little prance at your words, "Yeah...I think I would like that.  As stressful as some of the events have been it still feels like home here.  That I am welcomed.  With the Fae, while that is supposed to be family I am afraid it is very much disfunctional and it seems the wish to inflict harm upon each other just...just for being different or expressing different viewpoints. " 
362
363[2018/12/26 19:20]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me smiles, giving him a nod,"The fae..from what I understand, can be fickle. Nariel seems..pleasant, as does Ariell, but I admit to not knowing any of the others." She laughed softly, however brief it was, given the worries in her mind,"You are welcomed, of course."
364
365[2018/12/26 19:25]  Anjire: /me smiles, "Thank you, I will talk with Nariel at some point.  As to the infirmary, let me know how involved you wish me to be.  I don't want to step on Thiidel or "  He stops and thinks, "there was a foxling the other day I can't recall her name.  Well, I don't want to impede either of their ambitions. I will however offer my services to help keep you free." 
366
367[2018/12/26 19:35]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me considers this for a moment,"I am not certain how many actually work there. I am not usually kept abreast of the infirmary, or many of the other businesses as far as what goes on in them. Something I would like to remedy. I suppose you can just fill in as you can..unless you would like to actually work there..." her words trailed off. "It maybe helpful, especially as no one is there to run it now."
368
369[2018/12/26 19:39]  Anjire: /me ponders for a moment, "well, I will offer to work there with the caveat it is temporary and as back up.  And,  I suppose we can see how things work out.  if someone wishes to step up eventually, I will happily back down.  Then again,  I may find I want to run it."  His tail gives a playful wag swoosh behind him. 
370
371[2018/12/26 19:44]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me smiles, and steps closer to him, extending a hand to his mane, stroking it with slender, pale fingers...unless he moved away, of course. "That is fair. You may work there as you please, with the others, and we will see what happens."
372
373[2018/12/26 19:48]  Anjire: /me does indeed let you step right up close to him and pet through his mane.  He spent 20 years essentially domesticated so close contact like this is most welcome.  Thiidel did a great job brushing and trimming his mane earlier today.  Once more, the silky softness is like petting strands of water.  He gives a deep chrrrrrrrrrlsnort sound and drops his head enough to allow you full access to his mane.  "Mmm, sure.  sounds like a plan. " 
374
375[2018/12/26 20:06]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me pets his mane and smiles, just watching the area around them for a moment. "I would think it would be good...and will let you feel like you have a place here among us."
376
377[2018/12/26 20:09]  Anjire: /me press his neck gently into the pets.  He nods, "Yeah, I think it will help."  He notices Kiana's approach and gives a happy nicker, "Greetings"  Though he doesn't move his head to dip his horn as he normally would.  The unicorn isn't going to pass up scritches upon his mane. 
378
379[2018/12/26 20:17]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me nods and slips strands of his mane between her fingers idly, and suddenly debates the purchase of a horse, one day. "I have a feeling with the fae and Legion maybe being at odds, and Jona's troubles..we may very well end up needing as many healers in the infirmary as we can muster."
380
381[2018/12/26 20:18]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me slowly walked in still dressed as she was the night before, and were it anyone noticed they woudl know this was unusual for her and still loking a little worse for wear, "I spoke with Lady Evelyn and learned of the name of the woman whoi runs the chantry.. I have sent her a message but have not heard back. Lady Evelyn said she cold try ot help but she is to new so hopely at least an adept will be sent."
382
383[2018/12/26 20:23]  Anjire: /me gives a shudder being reminded of that possibility.  Still, it does feel relaxing and soothing to have one's mane tenderly stroked.  "Yeah, I still hope that some means will present itself to resolve the...transgressions without bloodshed or death."  He then goes silent letting Lady Kiana fill in the news.  Anjire, was able to enjoy a most relaxing day being groomed and bathed by Thiidel to return his coat to its proper luster.  Upon seeing Kiana's state he is a little embarrassed that he took some "me" time now. 
384
385[2018/12/26 20:35]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me pulls herself out of discord staff-related things and slips back IC. Sigh. She looks to Kiana and nods,"You have tried, so that is what matters. We will...see what they manage to do for us." She sighs again and actually rests her forehead on Anjire. Tired. So tired...but she didn't have time to rest. Not while..her gaze drifted to the upper floors and her chambers again. Gods, she hoped he was still sleeping. She hadn't heard any guards screaming, so she felt safe that Jona wasn't awake and removing limbs from anyone up there. Yet. "I believe we will have to...depend on trying things with Nariel again, and some divines, as she may be the only one that can get close again...as last night."
386
387[2018/12/26 20:39]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me  shook out her wings, a few feathers still missing as she sighed a bit, "I need to renew my wind bindings on him. I've recovered most of my energy thankfully my element is in abundance." trying to force her usual cheerful smile as she gripped the railing, " You mentioned the possible war  my erm.. friends.."  she'd mean spies but others were about, "Have littel to report but I will be making new friends to ask questions were I can not."
388
389[2018/12/26 20:42]  Anjire: /me has a strong and powerful neck easily able to support whatever weight Indis entrusts to his care.  In fact, he secretly delights that the Tari is so comfortable to do thus.  The unicorn's tail lifts swooshing and flicking in a display of just this fact.  He has nothing to add to the conversation except his presence which seems to give Indis some comfort and now literal support. 
390
391[2018/12/26 20:42]  Vuntios: /me would land with a low rumbling, Xiuha upon his back as he looked up, water had splashed upwards from how he landed. *Madame.* he would rumble lowly to them, of course he meant no harm to anyone.. and he realized Kiana were here. *Please do not faint again.. * he might feel awful at this, though a chortle left him, he seemed super excited to see his friend Anjire, a snort would leave him in greetings as his body steamed from the cool air. 
392
393[2018/12/26 20:42]  Xiuha: /me looked nauseous as she soon slipped off of Vuntios. " Please do not ever do that again." She whispered to Vuntios, mildly annoyed, her horns, scales, tail, wings were glamored, she looked very lady like. "My apologies for the intrusion.. Indis." She moved her hand to her stomach as she stepped up the stairs out of the water. " I wanted to know, have you seen Jona? And. I brought Vuntios this time, for our last conversation,  or.. he brought me." she grumbled a bit. "Clearly Vuntios does not believe in doors. " She looked at him once more. He was a wyvern, she knew that, but this was unannounced! 
394
395[2018/12/26 20:49]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me lifts her head up and nods at Kiana, slowly. "It may not be a bad idea...just to be safe.." she looked to the upper floors,"Though, he is locked in my chambers at present, guarded. I told them to keep everyone away..so I would have to let you in." At the mention of war and her friends, she nodded again."I suppose no news may be...good, but keeping an ear out is still wise. We do need to know how best to prepare..." her words trailed off as the noise of something in the air got her attention, and she soon saw Vuntios land...Xiuha on his back...and it took her a few moments to realize it was Xiuha. "Jona is.." she sighed,"we have had some troubles, and he is not..in the best of ways at the moment. He is resting in my chambers...for his sake as much as anyone else's." Unless, of course, he managed to get out again..which was possible. He was bigger than her other guards, after all.
396
397[2018/12/26 21:02]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me gave a wary look to the wyvren and sighed, "I'm to exhuasted to let my justified fear run rampet but we can talk of that in a moment I need to renew my spell first." slowly turning to the make her way up the stairs, " When I return I have some minorly good news when I return Tari."
398
399[2018/12/26 21:04]  Vuntios: /me enjoyed war... the fire... fighting, everything, his maw opened more, as he seemed to yawn, he soon sat down in the water, he liked this place, something about it brought him peace. *Mi'lady. Whatever Xiuhavunna--Xiuha is speaking of, is for us both, whatever she says is my will, and is my answer.* only the Tari would hear within her mind, he moved to stand up slowly.  *Forgive me, Xiuhavunna. The fires call upon me* he growled and pushed himself off of the ground and into the air. * A pleasure seeing you again Anjire, my friend.* 
400
401[2018/12/26 21:05]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me opens his eyes slowly, waking again from whatever magics had been placed upon him. His eyes look about the room, but just like in the infirmary the day before he seems to not really look at anyone or anything. he would start to buck and thrash against the chains. "Down! Everyone down! The demon! It's preparing a fireball! NO! JENKINS DAMMIT, NO!" He turns onto his side, and he goes quiet, and still. "Gods. Not another one. How many more men.. how many more brothers need to die.. how many more will I fail..."
402
403[2018/12/26 21:06]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): (did.. did oyu just leeroy us?)
404
405[2018/12/26 21:06]  Anjire: /me is acting as a literal support for Indis at  the moment.  The unicorn, instead of offended, seems quite delighted to do so.  His years under the dragonkin have left him overly accustomed to close contact and such use.  He would greet Vuntios with a happy whinny and lots of tail wags but is unable and unwilling to remove himself from his current position.  And then his friend says his goodbyes and he nickers, "Take Care, Vuntios"   Only to immediately dart his ears upwards honing on the sound from the the upper levels of the palace. 
406
407[2018/12/26 21:07]  Xiuha: /me brushed off her dress, taking a breath, her ruby gaze moved to Indis. "What... Do you mean he is not in the best of ways?" She had concern written all over her face, her mouth seemed to gape, from the surprise of hearing this... she felt a little overwhelmed at the thought of Jona not being alright.. he was such a strong man.. What could bring him down? Her heart sank to her stomach, and felt as if it were knotting up within her intestines. "C-can I see him?" She said very worried, her gaze moved up, to the sudden yelling, she was afraid to ask if that were Jona. 
408
409[2018/12/26 21:08]  Xiuha: /me looked to Vuntios. "So long my friend." She would wave gently to him, as he flew up, they did discuss joining as allies for the Tari earlier, and he had no issues with it. *****************888 
410
411[2018/12/26 21:14]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me leans on Anjire and sighs, looking at Xi, "I..am not certain if that would be wise..." she paused to watch the wyvern, and her gaze followed Kiana shortly as she was going to go strengthen Jona's restraints, and the sudden sounds of shouting made her wince. He was awake. Shit. Her spine stiffened, which just made her wince again because of her ribs, "I...it may be for the best to stay down here. I am not certain if a lot of people around him will be good...yet." She looked at Kiana again, "Slowly, Kiana. He may still not know he's...here..." a worried look set on her features, and she bit her lower lip, twisting fingers in Anjire's mane lightly.
412
413[2018/12/26 21:17]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me heard the yelling and threw off her cloak as it would only get in her way running up the stairs, "No no no no ." shoving past the guards who looked dumbfounded at each other. Cursing under her breath her hand would go to his forehead as she would begin to chant. First to renew the spell already placed, re-strangening it. The second would take much more work as she focused on trying to sooth his thoughts and body. Again her voice sounding more like chimes in the wind over her own. (do i need to roll for the binds sense i'm only renewing them?)
414
415[2018/12/26 21:22]  Anjire: /me 's mane is once again silky soft. It has been brushed into full thickness allowing Indis to find nice handfull to slip through.  He keeps himself still and steady despite the worrying sounds from upstairs.  He'll lend his other abilities to aid if the situation devolves like last night.  For now, his best aide to lend is being a support.. Anjire's tranquility aura has been restrengtened by events earlier so it may indirectly help Kiana's ability to sooth. 
416
417[2018/12/26 21:22]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me instantly would focus his eyes on Kiana. Rage, Righteous Fury, Hate all burning brightly in his eyes as they flare a nearly blinding silver hue. He thrashes again trying to throw her off of him with what little capacity he has to move. "Get your hands off of me necromancer! I will not be your next victim!" he growls, thrashing harder in his attempt to get away. "You... Marishka, Keldorn... you... I had to kill them you bastard! You made me kill my friends!" It is clear that though he definitely has registered Kiana's presence, and no longer looks *through* her, it is not her he sees. "I will kill you. Slowly. I will take pleasure in your suffering before I end your vile existence." Oh yes, Jona has his own dark side, and in that moment in time it showed through, and now any of those listening were getting a taste.

428
429[2018/12/26 21:26]  Xiuha: /me felt her heart beating faster, she shook her head. " I apologize, it may or may not be wise, but I HAVE to see him." She said, moving up the steps more, she needed to see what were going on, though The Tari and the Unicorn were in the way, she took in a sharper breath. " What do you mean, still not here?" she were radiating heat, her gaze moving up the the room once more. "Does she need help?" she could help. Maybe. 
430
431[2018/12/26 21:26]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): ((ugh so lost.second roll no counts. my roll beat yorus so i assume you didnt throw me off?)

434
435[2018/12/26 21:30]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me holds a hand out, and shakes her head,"Not alone," she said, seriously,"He has already...hurt people. It was not him...but we cannot just let people crowd about him either." She sighs as she looks toward the upper floors,"..and the guards are under instructions to keep most out of my chambers." She paused,  and looked at Anjire for a moment. She looked tired, and frustrated,probably over the situation that began all of this..which she still felt mostly responsible for. Ah, pricking guilt. She frowned, then looked at Xi,"Come with me....but please, stay behind me, just in case..." Gods knew she didn't know what they'd see up there.
436
437[2018/12/26 21:32]  Anjire: /me stays put, he isn't going to try and navigate his way upstairs nor crowd into the small space with as many people and guards up there as there are currently.  He stays nearby though perhaps his aura might be able to influence the anger and hatred filling his friend Jona. 
438
439[2018/12/26 21:33]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me growled a little under her breath as he tried to push her back. His movement did not throw her off but it would disrupt her casting, "GONNA NEED SOME HELP UP HERE. THE GUARDS ARE USELESS." calling down the stairs as she tried to regain her  focus one hand on his forehead the other hovering over his chest as she chanted in elven nearly sining as her spell focus shifted form trying to bind him, which proved dangerous the night before to trying to sooth him as she started on an aria of peace.
440
441[2018/12/26 21:36]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me fails to throw off his 'attacker', which only makes him thrash harder. probably accounting for why the spell didn't hold.  He tries with all of his might to break free of his chains, but they are well enchanted and they hold fast. At least for now. He had put them through the ringer the night before as well, it is anyone's guess how much more punishment they could take before the spell would shatter. Suddenly, he just stops thrashing, and glares at the woman with a darkness and a hatred none would ever suspect from someone like him. If looks could kill, Kiana would be dead.. and then her corpse would die again, and her spirit would be rent asunder. Seeing this, Jonus... Jona's little mini me would dart forward to tug frantically at Kiana's dress, pointing away from the bed and making odd little grinding and whining sounds, trying to get her away before something bad could happen.
442
443[2018/12/26 21:38]  Xiuha: /me would look to Indis, her lip twitched, she was worried, she listened to her, giving a slight nod. " I will listen." She said simply to her, as she moved to follow Indis, she walked through the nice home, her feet silent against the wood, were it so bad? Jona were hurting people? she would move up the stairs with Indis, her head poking, peering, needing to see, perhaps she could use her own magic? She would swallow fairly hard, Kianas shouting were not helping her mind to places it were bouncing to... she didnt have a good view on everything yet. " If need be, I know some magic.. as said." 
444
445[2018/12/26 21:44]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me nods at Xi, though she was focusing on the noises coming from her chambers, and she paused for a moment atop the stairs, assessing before entering...and sees Kiana in the middle of trying to get Jona under control. Oh, Cybele....she swore under her breath and went in, muttering to Xi to be ready for...anything. Once near Kiana, she let her gaze settle on Jona, "Jona," she said, "it is...Indis," and she would slowly move a hand to hover above his arm, not quite touching him yet...as she knows it may not go any better than it did before. "You are...home," well, if he had seen it as home before,"safe. Look at me."
446
447[2018/12/26 21:48]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me looked down as her skirt as pulled on drawing her out of her focus on the aria and frowned clearly the odd mini version of Jona knew somethign she did not. Noting the tari come close to also try to calm jona, "I think we are ment to move least we have a repeat of last night my lady." she would try, if allowed to take the taris hand and lead her away towards the couchs for a moment and let the guards move in, agai if allowed.
448
449[2018/12/26 21:53]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me starts to calm slowly, as Kiana moves away. The mini Jona had only meant for Kiana to move, to keep her safe, as she was currently the target of Jona's delusions, but unable to speak Kiana had no way of knowing that. His eyes move away from her and again seem to be staring at something not there. "Jan, Mereth, Gauron! Please listen to me!" His voice full of something akin to fear, but not for himself. "You know this order is wrong! The girl is not evil! You can sense it!" he stares off into the distance, his face contorted into a mix of determination, fear, and sorrow. "This order is wrong! Please, lower your blades! You are my own brothers! Don't make me fight you! Not for this! Not for them!"
450
451[2018/12/26 21:56]  Xiuha: /me seemed to brace herself as well as Indis, when she stopped at the top of the stairs.. her ear gave a slight twitch to it, before they both continued up the stairs. she now stood upon flat ground, frowning deeply, at the sight.. "What by the gods, happened to Jona?" she tried to say this as calmly as possible, but on the inside she were screaming, even her voice wavered... watching Indis move to try and calm the crazed man. Her heart remained in her belly, she lifted her right hand, she whispered something in draconic, as she began to channel energy into her body, the temperature of the room shifted as this happened... She drew one part of the rune, that were glowing in the air, this spell would take two posts for this, she were drawing runes for peace, serenity, tranquility.. probably three posts, the first rune were peace. 
452
453[2018/12/26 22:02]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me keeps her hand there, hovering, even when Kiana tries to nudge her back. "I will be fine," she says softly, but firmly, and finally lowers her hand onto him. Briefly, she debated a slap across the face to snap him out of it...but no, that wouldn't make much sense. It wouldn't be that simple. As she heard Xi speak, and then felt the air in the room shift, she barely turned her head,"Something dark within him...tried to take over. He is...lost, for now. We will get him back," she said with a determined edge. "Jonaleth," she said, looking back down to him,"look at me," she squeezed his arm, and allowed for her hand to warm with her fire, hoping it maybe brought something almost comforting...or familiar.
454
455[2018/12/26 22:09]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me frowned as she was worried about the Tari, "My Lady .. your side.." speaking softly clearly worrie dhte wound would re-open. Though she stood back by the  mini Jona, "Well you are at least cuter than your counter part." smiling softly. tucking her  legs under her she'd meditate in the air restarting her aria of peace. This song would take two rounds to take effect as her aim was now on the area instead of just one person.
456
457[2018/12/26 22:12]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me 's head thrashes side to side. "Gods, why. Ayn.. Ay... Cybel.. all of you.. why? Why did you make me do this? Why did you make me kill them? The girl does not deserve death! YOU! YOU ALL DESERVE TO DIE, NOT HER, NOT THEM." he turns again, and once again would start to sob with his sorrow and regret. His entire body shaking and wracking with the intensity of it. "Everything.. gone.. " It is only when Xi, begins to cast her spell, and Indis begins to fill him with her warmth that his body and his mind start to quiet again. He is not still, not completely, bit his shaking and sobbing do start to lessen. As for Mini Jona, the pudgy, bald, one eyed little clone, he smiles at Kiana's compliment, and beams up at her proud. he bounces a little, making happy grunting sounds, and then as Kiana goes up into the hair he would stand directly under her, staring up her gown with an 'Ooooooo' face, and make an odd sort of squeaking sound.
458
459[2018/12/26 22:16]  Xiuha: /me let out a breath, something dark? She thought on it for a brief moment, she banished the thought away, she continued to absorb energies, drawing them in, as she drew the second rune, her voice whispered once more,  Serenity, it glowed a faint blue, Peace glowed an iridescent color, both runes level with her chest whilst she drew them. "How long has he been like this? " she managed to ask, holding those runes. Jona's words were rumbling through her brain.. everything gone, she released the spell unintentionally, Only two runes drawn, peace and serenity... in which sent a small little ball of glowing light over to Jona, trying to feel him with its warmth, its peace, and serenity, trying to .. subdue his anger and such, if successful at anyrate.. who knew what would happen if it failed.

464
465[2018/12/26 22:20]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me gives Kiana a brief nod, to show she was at least aware to be careful of her side, as much as possible, and she looked down at him...a sigh of relief as he seemed to be calming, for now. "I..do not know," she said seriously,"perhaps centuries...for all I can be certain. He..never was able to finish fully telling me..." she frowned. Guilt, guilt, pricking guilt. She squeezed his arm lightly, and channeled some energy into continuing to warm him with her touch. Hesitating, briefly, she leaned down and placed a kiss on his forehead, unless he got a start again and batted her away.
466
467[2018/12/26 22:24]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me heard the word centuries and arched a brow though said nothing as she would continue to gather energy for her aria of peace. A soft sweet voice ringing out as she began to weave the spell into the air. Sining ava maria because well their is no actual song listed for the spell because wizards fo the cost are lazy bastards
468
469[2018/12/26 22:25]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): - her focus so tunneled she'd not notice the mini Jona under her but if she was would be greatful she had her leather and soft wool lined under pants on. were she not so focused she'd purposely sit on his head.
470
471[2018/12/26 22:26]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me seems to remaining calm for now, unaware, but calm. Only mildly crying, body shaking just a little. If he knows indis is there, or any other for that matter, he doesn't show it. "Why" he whispers. "Why did you do it? I served you for centuries. Never asked questions. Never defied you. Never... then you threw me away only because I thought for myself, once in my entire life. Why?" Mini Jona would pout all adorable, and possibly creepy like, when he can't see anything up Kiana's skirt, then would just toddle off and do... things, unless he is interacted with again.
472
473[2018/12/26 22:29]  Xiuha: /me would lower her hand, as Indis were touching him, she let out a breath, just watching curiously, before she leaned down to kiss his head, thats when it hit her, she brought her hand to her heart. Were she his, and were he- hers? She inhaled for a moment, holding her breath, seemed likely.. he was in her room, that spell made her a tad bit tired, his voice killing her softly, while he spoke. "Forgive me, I should have never come up here... " She looked to Indis seeming concerned for her heath. " My Lady.. you need to rest yourself.. " She moved down the steps carefully, she needed to process a few things, well.. not a few, more likely everything. 
474
475[2018/12/26 22:35]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me turns her head after lifting it from the kiss, and watches Xi curiously. It took her a moment to process. Ah, hell. She flashed back to the adoption ceremony. Oh, dear. She looked down at Jona then, and bit her lip. "Xiuha..." she sighed,"we will...come back tomorrow, if you will. We will...talk."
476
477[2018/12/26 22:37]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me smirked inwardly thinking to herself' oh the messy rug jona had woven for himself'. Amusement aside her voice rang out clear and true hoping her song would effect not just Jona but the air he was giving off and sooth the minds of those around especially as emotional upset seemed to be another brewing issue.

482
483[2018/12/26 22:42]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me would actually seem to calm a bit more at Xi's kiss, just as he had at Indis' touch. He just sort of goes limp again, but his eyes are still open wide, as if in horror. Seeing some terrible thing that no one else can. Then, the energies from Kiana's spell wash out and over him, perhaps even mingling with Xi's magic. he goes limp... completely loose like a wet noodle, eyes closing. Then he'd try to move, slow and lethargic, eyes creeping open slowly. "What... where am I..." he'd moan lightly, trying to look around. "Indis... ? Is that... no, it can't be. You're not in this place." he moves a little but more, the chains preventing anything major. "Kiana you too? No no. This... no. More illusions..." he shakes his head, and tries to raise his arms. "Why can't I move and... was that Xiuha going .. uh... somewhere..." his face scrunches up in confusion. "I don't understand. Why are you showing me this? What did you do to them?"
484
485[2018/12/26 22:50]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me parts her lips, a sigh of relief...though stunned. He said her name. "Jona," she leaned closer to him then, and her hand moved to lightly touch his face,"you are home. We aren't an illusion." She looked at the chains, "You were..." she tried to think of how to word it,"there was trouble." She looked up at Kiana, "We will...remove them once we are certain," she said softly, then looked back to him,"I am sorry," she whispered to him. More guilt. "Xiuha has...gone to rest. I will be here with you."
486
487[2018/12/26 22:52]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me arched a brow as she smiled a bit more of a smirk really but sighed inwardly continuing to focus on her song to keep the air soothing while things were sorted out
488
489[2018/12/26 22:54]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me leans into her touch, but then frowns, and pulls away. The aura of peace keeping him from getting excited or panicking. "No, no I'm not.. but I am.. no..." his brow furrows, and he looks around again. "I can see you, and the palace, but all around us, sorrows and nightmares playing out. No. I'm still there... I can't be here and there at the same time..." he turns to look at someone that isn't there. "Stop it please. This is too cruel, even for you. Please make it stop."
490
491[2018/12/26 22:56]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me the calmness of his mind and body would seem to be at odds with the way he should be feeling by his words, the spell the only thing keeping him from losing it again
492
493[2018/12/26 22:58]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me feels it happen. A rarity...a tear. It falls, dropping from her blue eye, and hitting his skin. When was the last time she actually cried? She couldn't recall. Her hand moved to his hair, fingers moving through it, and her other hand slid down to squeeze his hand. "You are not there. Not in that place. Look at me, Jona. Feel my touch. You are in the palace. We are in my chambers."
494
495[2018/12/26 23:01]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me turns to look at her, his eyes seeming placid, but confused. "Yes I am." he tries to shout at her, but he can't muster the energy or the anger needed. "I can see him." his head turns towards that non existent figure again. "I see you. I know what you are doing." he passes a gaze over Kiana, and then back to Indis. "I .. I feel you..." he looks even more confused. "What is happening? I.. you can't be here, but I can't be there. How can I be in both places at the same time..." his head lolls to one side as he looks to Kiana again. "Such, pretty music..."
496
497[2018/12/26 23:07]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me wipes under her eye and rests her hand on his cheek, locking her eyes with his,"Nariel went to you...from what I can say, something was there...it is not here. She...something happened. You are here, I promise you. Not there..not in that dark place." Ignoring Kiana being there for a moment, she decided to chance it, and pressed her lips to his. Feel that, you. Once she did pull away, however, she would look at him, concerned still, obviously.
498
499[2018/12/26 23:12]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me arched a brow again, thinking this man was gonna have on hell of a difficult day once he settled back into his brain. Inner amusement aside and the energy of her song still hanging in her air her hands moved lifting the tips of his hair one section moving to tickle his nose, " I assure you this is all real. Nightmare me would most likely have her wings ripped off."
500
501[2018/12/26 23:14]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me looks back to Indis, and frowns. He is indeed in that place still, and here as well. His soul split in two, but connected. His mind registering everything in both places. The people and the palace here, the horrors and monstrosities in the other place. It is almost too much to take. "He leans into her kiss for a moment as if about to return it, but then quickly pulls away. "No.. don't. He will see ... he always sees.. he always knows what is in my head, and uses it to twist my mind. He wants me to give in, but I won't... I can't. " he turns his head again in that other direction. "Do you understand? I will never let you in." When the magics of the winged one touch him, his head sort of just flops on her direction again. "Shhh. He will hear you. He will be jealous of your wings. His don't work you see. They are rotting, and torn and tattered. Even here, he can not use them." The way he talks is almost as if he is drugged, or if his mind his perhaps broken.
502
503[2018/12/26 23:20]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me tilts her head, and she just looks...livid. Her eyes cloud over, save for what almost looked like lightning, if that were even possible. Not angry at him, but...whatever he was seeing. "You...can't..." she looked up at Kiana,"I will need to see Nariel. Soon," she said firmly...as that was the only person she could think of that would know...something. Hopefully. "If you are there...and here..." she frowned, then pressed her lips to his cheek," we will get you out, I swear," she said softly...though she had no damned clue how they would. This was above and beyond her. She squeezed his hand, "Just...hold on...and try to remember; we are here. I am here."
504
505[2018/12/26 23:23]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me slowly placed her legs on the floor. Smoothing out her skirts her head canted to the side, "Who is this he?" her attnetion turnign to Indis, "Do you wish me to find her for you or merely keep the peace here?"
506
507[2018/12/26 23:28]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me looks at her with something new in his eyes. Some brief moment of clarity. He tries his best to sit up, but the chains keep him down. His gaze flits between both Indis and Kiana. "No. Listen to me. Listen to be carefully before whatever is keeping me calm wears off. He needs me. He needs me to give myself to him willingly. I don't know how much longer I can hold out. He will do anything to get me to give in. He will hurt you, he will stop at nothing. You have to..." suddenly a pained expression takes over his face and his back arches as if he has just been lashed, he cries out. "KILL ME! YOU HAVE TO KILL ME! HE'LL NEVER STOP" His entire body spasms and thrashes as if he's being torn apart from the inside, and another scream. "Nariel.. she hurt him, he can't take me again.. but he's getting his strength back. Hurry, do it now!" Just then his entire body lifts off the bed and begins to writhe, and squirm in mid air, 2 feet above the bed, before he collapses and and begins to sob. "I'm sorry! No more, gods
508
509[2018/12/26 23:28]  Jonaleth Stormcrow:  please no more! I won't tell them anything more!" This man, known to be so strong, so powerful and unflappable, reduced to little more than a sobbing wreck, a shell of his former self.
510
511[2018/12/26 23:37]  Indis Amandil (indisamandil): /me looks at Kiana, "He...whatever Nariel saw..."she purses her lips,"Tomorrow. Find her tomorrow. I am...not certain he can take her doing anything tonight." She looked down at him, and then he spoke. Her face darkened when he became to scream, and she gripped his arms,"I am NOT killing you," she shouted,"listening to me," her body began to glow...pulsating flames forth, she was...pissed,"whatever monstrosity you are in there with him, I am going to rend you to pieces with my bare hands...burn you from the inside out...you son of a bitch. Leave. him. ALONE." And the fire just seemed to flare up, hot and quick, leaping as if someone just threw gas on her, and she closed her eyes, teeth clenching behind closed lips. Ooohh, she wanted to rip someone in two.
512
513[2018/12/26 23:50]  Kїaηa ℬlackωolf   (reileena.ocello): /me pursed her lips thoughtfully as she watched observing for a moment. Yup the real Jona was definitely  going to have an awkward day soon. Maybe she would take mini Jona out drinking that day. " We are listening Jonaleth." keeping her voice even, "If this was all turmoil trapping him in his own mind I could do more but this.. this is well beyond my school of magic. I will seek her out on the morrow but for now we have to figure out how to ensure he and all those in proximity are safe.. last thing we need is this getting out to some of our more worrisome allies." though she'd not name certain things she specifically meant Myrrine. She'd purposely left things vague when she spoke to Evelyn.
514
515[2018/12/26 23:51]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me he could nothing now but lay there, wracked with pain, but not a pain of the body. Nothing physical. This was a pain in spirit, His very soul was on fire. "He's so powerful..." his sobbing begins to slow rapidly, Kiana's magic still doing it's work, but the pain is still there. "I can't... I can't defeat him. You have to do it..." he is curled on his side now in nearly a fetal position. As much as the chains will allow. "Please. If he wins, he will kill you all. He will... he wants to burn the world." For some reason no more screams come, no more pain. Either the being can't do anything right this moment, or it wants them to know.
516
517[2018/12/26 23:52]  Jonaleth Stormcrow: /me slips back into unconsciousness because his player is running out of ideas, and is tired of playing mr emo guy for now
