(From Upon the Heels of War in Lowlight...)

When the pressure lifted from them, they found themselves practically on top of the border's gates. From here they were on their on. Pushing himself from his father's protective embrace, Blade stumbled from the sudden change in gravity. Still clutching the white stone which resonated with power, he put it in his pocket for safe keeping while he regained his composure.

From here, he could manage a small portal himself. For that, he'd really need concentration. He thought the spell up in his mind, trying to get it perfect for if he didn't... well...

"Rhen," Sid whispered, "You can let go."

Soran blinked and released his grip on him with a startled jerk. "Damned sorcery," he cursed, his ears burning with embarrassment. "You all can take that thing back after this, I'd prefer to walk," he muttered, brushing himself off.

Sid smirked at him in surprised pleasure. "Who taught you to crack jokes?" he snickered.

Soran just grimaced and looked over at Blade, who looked like he was focusing. He remembered what the boy had said. He could try his best, but no matter how you looked at it, a spell like this was beyond anything he'd reliably learned. He and Sid stood in front of him, crossing their metaphorical fingers.

Blade had to call out Blobby in order to focus his thoughts. Before he attempted the spell, he tried to find Mizuki and Rai's signature within the camp that he knew was just beyond the border gates on the other side. As the same as before when he deciphered his mother's whereabouts, he used Blobby's concentrated dark magic to find his mother and sister again, but their exact location.

But unknown to him, he only locked onto Rai, whom was being kept hidden from the Witch Queen. Mizuki had a magic blocking band around her head, and she was currently being presented to the Queen Shea.

"My Queen," the necromantic sorceress bowed excessively, "I have brought you the seer." She smirked as she straightened and Mizuki was pushed forward, her hands tied behind her back, and was forced to kneel before the Witch Queen.

Soran tensed as he felt magic tingle along his skin. It felt different than the power Sinead's mages had used. He looked at Blade and hoped the boy knew what he was doing.

Shea rose from her lounging postion on the fur blankets. Two guards were already in the room standing over a slender bloody form and repeatedly kicking her. Barely clad in any form of clothing a single mark could be seen on her hip alerting any to the fact she was a Queen's Maiden.

Shea eyed the woman closely for a moment and then tilted her head. "Do I know you from somewhere?" she asked for a moment and then a beautiful smile came to her face. "Ahh... and how is my little Key doing? I trust she's not too morbidly scarred from seeing her parents murdered." She walked forward and only glanced back at the guards when he heard one of them announce his plan. She wouldn't stop him just yet.

Shea glanced to the necromancer and bowed her head. "Good work. I figured things would be interesting, but never this interesting. Is there anything else you wish to tell me?" Shea met the eyes of the necromancer and it seemed as if Shea could see straight through your soul. Some believed she did just that.

Shea glanced over her shoulder and noticed that the soldier was beginning to act on his plan. She calmly, elegantly, walked towards the soldier. He was placing himself in a position that would have no trouble explaining itself. The Queen's Maiden was barely conscious and definitely not strong enough to fight against the attacker. However, Shea cared little for the well-being of the girl. However, having her spoiled so soon was not part of her plan.

Shea twined her fingertips around the soldiers hair and ripped him from the top of the girl, slinging him clear across the room. He landed just before Mizuki. "I told you she would not be defiled. Not yet. Must I make myself more clear?" Her tone was deadly, dripping acid and her eyes glowed gold.

"No...nooo...." He quickly adujsted himself with slight discomfort, buttoning his trousers.

"Oh, Gods, it is so hard to find help that actually obeys orders..." Shea turned back to Mizuki, giving her a brilliant smile. Then she looked down at the welp she had just thrown. "There is a spell around that girl. I will know it the moment something happens that strips her of her virginity. I will know where and when and how and you or anyone else who defies my orders will find the rest of your life quite unbareable. Now take her back to the prison." The soldier moved quickly, he and his friend dragged Tenele from the room.

"No, shall we discuss business?" Shea cupped Mizuki's chin with her fingers. "Such a lovely face. Please, don't give me cause to bloody it. Do as I say and you will fair well here. Disobey me and... I don't stop the killing with you. When someone disobeys me I don't just kill them. I kill their whole family. Wipe them from the earth as if they never existed in the first place. Think about that for a moment."

Mizuki · Post by **Mizuki** » Thu Mar 06, 2008 5:47 pm

OOC: wow, I got confused with that. Tenele is captured again? o.0

The necromancer bowed her head, not even daring to reply. Mizuki so badly wanted to spit in this woman's face, but she didn't need her powers to know that THAT would be fatal.

"Now, shall we discuss business?" Shea cupped Mizuki's chin with her fingers. "Such a lovely face. Please, don't give me cause to bloody it. Do as I say and you will fair well here. Disobey me and... I don't stop the killing with you. When someone disobeys me I don't just kill them. I kill their whole family. Wipe them from the earth as if they never existed in the first place. Think about that for a moment."

"What business do you have with me?" Mizuki demanded through clenched teeth. The necromancer had stowed Rai away, hidden, in her own lavish tent that was far from Shea's. Mizuki didn't need to think twice about the necromancer's loyalties, she just wondered about her motives with Rai. Her heart ached and pounded with fear for her life, for Rai, and ached for Soran and Blade.

The necromancer stood stock still behind Mizuki, betraying nothing.

Back at the gates, Blade pinpointed only Rai's location. "I think I've found them!" he stated.

"Wherever they are, you don't want to be exactly there. If they're separated, we'll have blown our cover before finding the other girl," Sid said. "There's a tavern inside the compound where people mostly mind their own business. Provided no one recognizes us, it should be safe. It's still a risk, but it's the best chance. I don't know if you can pinpoint it with your abilities or not...there's a large black door and a sign above it that reads "Louman's Louch".

OOC: Making up for the time difference. Mizuki and them arrived before Tenele was rescued, so technically she would still be here.

IC:

Shea pulled her hand away with a smile and put an elegant finger to her chin. "Being the daughter of a God has its perks. I have the ability to see certain things. Know certain things. However, I cannot will it. Seeing the memories of someone and seeing the future are two different things. I want you to tell me what lies in the future. Sinead's every move. I want no blind spots."

Shea moved back to her bed of furs and laid comfortably upon them. "I want you to by my eyes. However, refuse and I'll kill you. There are more like you out there. Like that child that you protect... You have no idea the power that dwels within that small form." She smiled as if musing on something. "I have a feeling that one day, if she lives, she will be a great threat to me..."

OOC: aahhh

IC:

"I cannot see into the future. Only past, and the current present." Mizuki said carefully. It was true, she could not... not without help from the other side but even that was questionable. Mizuki watched the Witch Queen carefully, with unreadable eyes. Never a day went past did she not remember the cruelty Shea had dealt upon Rai. Mizuki herself had not been there, giving birth to Blade, but she had felt the child's pain. Never did she want Rai to feel that way again. "...And deaths." She added as an afterthought.

Blade closed his eyes in frustration. "I cannot find places." he stated, albeit a bit roughly to Sid. "Only people..."

"Then what do you suppose will happen if we appear directly before her and Mizuki isn't there?" Sid asked.

Soran frowned. He kept thinking about how Blade couldn't find Mizuki. Did that mean they'd already killed her? He tried not to think about it. "I agree we'll be taking a lot of risks by appearing directly in front of her. She'll almost certainly be guarded, and if Mizuki's elsewhere, they'll have leverage to stop us from fighting back. Is there any way to make the spell drop us some space away?"

Shea smiled devilishly at the young seer. "Well, I suggest you learn rather quickly, or... you are of no more use to me. I'll give you a little while to think it over." She nodded to the guards who hauled Mizuki too her feet. "If not, then I'm sure your the brat can be taught. Who knows, maybe I should take her under my wing, make her a daughter." Shea mused for a moment, though all she saw in the way of the child was a future annoyance. She lost her smile and then looked at the Necromancer. "Bring her back to me with in the hour, hopefully she will have chosen the right decision. I'm sure a seer can be taught, and if not... Well, they die just as every other human and just as easily."

The necromancer bowed her head in submission. "As you wish my Queen." She walked out of the tent with the guards carrying Mizuki roughly, and then the necromancer placed and dark magic chain on Mizuki's bounds hands. "Leave." The sorceress commanded the guards, which they obeyed with unrelenting gratitude. The undead made many uneasy no matter who they were.

And so started their march back up to the sorceresses tent, far from the center of the camp and nearly on the outskirts. Mizuki kept her head lowered as they walked. The jeers and lude comments comments from the soldiers who were practically lined up to see the young half elf march in defeat. If it wasn't for the necromancer being just behind her, they would've gone after Mizuki.

But the undead make strong men nervous.

...Except for one.

"I can take her from here." A general came up to the side of the necromancer who looked at him with dead, cold eyes.

"She is my charge. The Queen has ordered me to watch her." she stated flatly and proceeded to move on, but he moved into her path again.

"About that child you are hiding in your tent," he whispered in her cold ear. "Shall we tell the Queen that the key has returned to her?" The necromancer stopped, stared at him coldly, then tossed Mizuki's chain rope to him.

"She expects her back within an hour." She moved again then stopped, "Try to convince her to see the future for our Queen." Smiling deadly, the necromancer left and when she was out of earshot the general whispered,

"All that and more..." Tugging Mizuki's chain, who spat at his feet, he lead her out of the camp.

"I don't know Arken soldier! Do you have magic that can at least get us THERE in time?" Blade practically yelled.

"I agree we'll be taking a lot of risks by appearing directly in front of her. She'll almost certainly be guarded, and if Mizuki's elsewhere, they'll have leverage to stop us from fighting back. Is there any way to make the spell drop us some space away?" Soran said. Blade fell silent, thinking hard and trying to find a spell that could get them there without having to find a specific point.

"I can... fix the spell... we'd be near Rai, but not on top of the location."

OOC: I won't be able to get back on the internet until monday. I'm going home for the weekend and they don't have internet anymore.

Rai was sitting on the ground, fiddling with the ropes and looking very bored. Very worried. Very frightened. She looked around, afraid of what was going to happen. She was afraid for her mother, wondering where her mother might be. She was also afraid of what was going to happen to herself.

Mizuki · Post by **Mizuki** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 1:40 pm

OOC: okay hurry back ^_~

The sorceress entered the large, spacious tent and looked around for Rai. From the outside, the tent appeared small, but inside it was much larger. Laying in a different dimension from Dark magic power. She spotted Rai near a corner playing with the ropes of the tent looking sullen. The sorceress walked over to her, and used a beautiful, yet frightening smile for the little girl.

"Hello little one," she said in a mock sweet voice, "I am Noventia." She had a plan for this one. A plan that even the Witch Queen did not know about, because it was Noventia's plan to let the Queen conquer Ighten, then place herself on the throne after banishing Shea into the Nether realm. With Rai's yet untapped abilities, she could do it easily. But, the child needed maturing before that could happen, and Noventia did not have that much time to wait for Rai to grow up.

OOC:...and just an fyi, even if it worked for Noventia, Shea would still kill her easily... other things are yet to be said. xD

Rai spat at the woman's feet, hugging herself closer. "I want my mommy! Go away, you... you... Hag!" It was not the truth, but Rai wanted to be mean to her. She had stollen her away, and hated the woman for it. She wanted to be let go, with her mother, and leave.
