Part 1

[Inkshade]

"He made it but I don't see the relevance of that." Vanora says.

"Riiiiiight." Ammon looks at Vadris "The old 'enchant the dress' trick? Tsk, though admittedly it isn't so impractical for one with no experiance with magic. Why don't you end it and let the lady think for herself? Or are you worried she won't like you anymore?"

Airou clenches a fist. "Princess, think about what Elias has said. Does your current oppinion fit with that? Doesn't it seem off?" he was starting to hate Vadris more and more.

----------

"I think there will be more pitty than anything sire. He is turning himself around, and that is something to be respected." Estelle says "I'm sorry, I've just given you another thing to worry about haven't I?"

----------

"No worries, he's not nearly as bad as Brann." Caedmon sighs

"Hey!" Brann glares.

"Enough. As Mr.Bluestone said, we shall get to the heart of the matter. Do come in." Caedmon says, turning to enter the viewing room. he stops "Oh, and a fair warning, if any of you so much as whiper a rumor of what you see here..." he looks back at them "Your existance will become no more than a whisper, if at all." he says in a very calm voice, but it was still very evidently a threat. he continues in and sits in his chair.

Brann follows and stands next to Caedmon.

Rodric follows and looks at the screens being projected "Remarkable..."

"Hey! There's us!" Vito says looking at a screen that was showing them "And there's Rhisiart!" he points to another, that showed Rhis sitting on the floor, talking to Osiron and Jast. "And there's Vanora!" he says with growing excitement "Oh...she's got a lot of demons with her...."

"Yes...I've been watching that carefully...." Caedmon says "And before anyone asks, I watch these people because they are of importance...that is all I can say."

"Hey! That one's Vortigern!" Vito smiles "What no Nini?"

"She does not need to be watched." Caedmon says. he chuckles "Nini....odd hearing her called that."

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

Cazo nods "Yes." he opens a door for her "right down this hall. I can hear Lord Osiron."

[Dynamax]

"You misunderstand, it was to relieve the tension she was feeling." Vadris says, snapping his fingers. "She was through a lot and I wanted her to..."

"You wanted to rape her like you did me." Aikia says. "What was your scheme this time? To have her have the child on the other side and free your Father that way?"

"Shut your fucking mouth. I had no such intent YOU INSOLENT WITCH!!!" Vadris yells.

Thimos glares at him. "You sicken me."

"Quit painting me in your oh so convenient light. I wanted to s if she can find a means of destroying it from her side, nothing more." Vadris says.

"So why all the flirting?" Gregor says.

Elias shoots him a glare.

"She's a beautiful woman...can't it be helped that a man might not find her attractive? What is so wrong with that? Am I not allowed to express actual emotion?" Vadris says.

"All you express is more moves in your game." Thimos snarls.

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

"No. It is fine. I figure it something he seeks redemption for." Ildor says. "That is why i can understand, I hope."

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

"My Lord, I would ask you refrain from such statements. I have sworn these people will return to my King. I would hate to have to get serious with you." Mr. Bluestone says.

"So what is your story Mr. Bluestone?" Iago says. "Who are you here?"

"It is time I answer something you've asked me long ago. You once asked my what my first name is." Mr. Bluestone turns and his eyes shine a glowing blue for a moment. "My name is Gamuldar Bluestone, also known as Gamuldar the Great or the immortal Gamuldar."

"Is that a big thing?" Octavia asks.

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

"Good." Rowena says. "Let's go catch up then."

[Inkshade]

Vanora looks confused, almost dazed. "Wh...what?"

Ammon looks at her and raises an eyebrow. "Is that all you did Vadris? I still smell an enchantment on her, and you can't hide that from me." he says.

Airou had his swords out, and at this point was so angry that he was just waiting for an order to lop Vadris' head off.

---------

"I'm sure you will be able to. It isn't so serious to wipe away years of friendship." Estelle smiles.

--------

"WHAT?!" Brann looks shocked "Caedmon! Why didn't you tell me that's who he was!?"

"I think that's a yes..." Claire says to Octavia

"Well, if you trained harder you would have remembered and known on your own." Caedmon sighs.

"THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!"

"If you were stronger it would." Caedmon says "And, for the record, I will throw out any warning I see fit. This room can not be divulged to anyone. Should Vadris or his brother hear of it they will fight to find it. It's bad enough he already has most of the pieces needed...or at least they are easily accessable."

"Pieces for what if you don't mind my asking." Claire says

Caedmon smiles at her "Destroying the wall."

"WHY'D YOU TELL HER?!" Brann growls

"Good manners go a long way Brann." Caedmon smiles "Yes, Gamuldar and I go way back. He being an immortal and I practically one, we cross paths on occassion." he says "More so since the wall was constructed, And admittedly more since I chose to abandon my demonic habbits. Not that I can blame you for that...I was a devilish little thing back then..."

"Nearly immortal?" Brigada asks

"I'm just very old...well to your kind. I supose for a demon I am as well...Yet the others are older..." Caedmon sighs "Technically anyways."

"No one knows what you're talking about." Brann sighs with frustration.

"Gamuldar does."

-----------

Cazo nods "Yes of course." he leads her down the hall.

--

Rhis sees them coming and stands. "Here comes Rowena and Cazo." he smiles

From another hall Vaughn can be heard "I'm sorry I have so many things Desmond....my potions.....oh, careful if those break and mix there will be an explosion! I can carry more than this, I'm not that weak."

"And I hear Vaughn." Osiron smiles

[Dynamax]

"A protection spell. I am with my idiot henchmen after all...Crytax and Trophis to be clear." Vadris undoes it too. "Now she's vulnerable physically and emotionally again. Are you happy now?" He then sees Airou. "Put...those...away."

"Screw that." Travis says, drawing his sword.

"Tch, wasn't that your old toy Thimos?" Honzai says.

"You shut up Worm. Your second on my to Kill list." Thimos rips a wing off and makes it into a scythe. "Right after your brother."

"We're not going to fight, we are trying to honor the Princess' request. I am still waiting for you outsiders to step aside." Vadris says. "i have a promise to keep."

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

"Indeed." Ildor stops at a door and knocks. "Honey?"

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

"To be clear I am not really all here. A part of me is still on this side with Kanard. That last experiment still needs to be undone as missing a piece of ones soul is annoying but...I can explain another time." Mr. Bluestone says. "For our safety I must remain a secret for as long as possible. Few know my last name and they are mostly here. The ones that are not are Gregor, Kanard, The Devil King Nostroth, Ozom and our King."

"Why?" Cassius asks.

"I am sought by many for good and Ill. I will be most effective as merely Master Iago's butler." Mr. Bluestone says. "Things will be revealed in time but we have pressing matters. Is that not Vadris with the Princess?"

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

"You act as if this is burdensome. I am choosing to help a friend, not as a servant but a man. Allow me this indulgence." Desmond says.

"Well it seems we're almost all here." Rowena says. "We seem to be missing Faeral, Hector and Evana."

[Inkshade]

Ammon cocks his head to the side with curiosity, watching Vanora "Peculiar...."

Vanora still seems a bit dazed, she rocks slightly as the spell is lifted.

Airou keeps his blades out "Anastasia..." he asks

------

Estelle stands quietly, waiting for the queen.

-------

"Yes, he is. He does not yet realize her significance...well possible significance. The Boy is the one with the power but I fear she accidentally took it from him. If she tried to use it it would kill her." Caedmon sighs "And Vinitia would kill me if I let that happen...I wouldn't be too happy with myself either, she is my godchild."

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

"I know...I just feel bad." Vaughn sighs

"Yes, I expect them to be here shortly." Osiron says

Cazo looks at Jast, who glares back.

[Dynamax]

"We wait for the Princess' word unless it's self defense." Anastasia says. "She gave her orders."

"She ordered you to move." Vadris snaps. "GET OUT OF THE WAY!!"

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

Adona opens the door. "Yes Husband?"

"I was just checking in. Is everything ok?" Ildor asks.

"Oh it's quite fine. I just checked in with Daddy, he's at Lord Osiron's. They'll be picking up Gustav and coming over as planned." Adona says.

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

"I do not see Phillipe." Cassius notes.

"likely hiding behind a tree." Victoria says.

"Rondar's force is missing, likely he is with them Mistress." Mr. Bluestone says.

"Rondar?" Victoria asks.

"The son of the sister of this realms King and Master Elias' father." Mr. Bluestone says.

"What?" Victoria was stunned.

"How have they been? The runes, are they harming them at all?" Mr. Bluestone says.

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

"Don't guilt trip him Lord Vaughn. He's happy with this." Rowena says.

"Indeed. Desmond is that kind of soul." Hector says, arriving.

"You take forever to get ready Brother." Faeral says.

"I take pride in my appearance." Hector says.

[Inkshade]

"She hasn't ordered anything!" Airou snaps. "She doesn't want fighting and she wants to see her brother. There was nothing about moving." he glares, then looks at Vanora "Princess, tell us what to do."

"I...I...Don't know...I..." Vanora looked back and forth between the two groups.

"Make her relax...All you've done is make the poor girl confused Vadris!" Mora snaps "How can you expect her to make any decision when she's in this state?"

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

Mirael looks "Is everything alright King Ildor?" she asks, coming over to the door.

-----

"They've made the boy much more violent, while at the same time Rondar less." Caedmon says "Phillipe...your brother." he points to a screen with Dred, Phillipe and the others on it "He's fine."

-----------

"Oh, I'm not trying. I'm the one who feels guilty..." Vaughn sighs.

Evana comes close behind Hector and Faeral "Oh, am I the last one? Well, I did have to get the rest of sissy's things too."

"Right then. Let's go see how our transport is coming." Osiron says. he looks at Rhis "Are you bringing Jast?"

Rhis blinks "Oh...um.." he looks at Jast "Do you want to come?"

Jast is silent, then nods to Rhis.

Rhis smiles "Then yes."

Osiron nods "Oh, and I have something else for you as well...but it can wait."

[Dynamax]

"The spell's not working now you insipid fool, you had me kill it so of course she is like this and no, i am not putting it back on. I'd rather not be blamed for her making the right choice." Vadris says.

Elias walks over to Vanora slowly.

"Get away from her..." Vadris snarls.

"She needs me. You will be silent." Elias says.

"Get...AWAY!!" Vadris aims and fires a blast of magic at Elias, only for Rondar to take the hit.

"FATHER!!" Elias yells.

"That's my cue." Gregor takes off and running to the Princess' side.

"STOP HIM!!!" Kaizo yells.

"NO!! STOP!! I..." Vadris was seething. "I made a mistake...I...she promised me....she's my only hope now. I need her."

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

"Just making sure all was well. With the Master's attack I had to worry if there was more going on. They are deceptive at times." Ildor says. "You seem awfully cheery Mirael."

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

Cassius could not convey his relief due to the shock of what Vadris just did.

"Well are we intervening yet?" Mr. Bluestone asks.

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

A loud roar is heard from outside.

"Did....did he summon dragons?" Hector asks.

[Inkshade]

Vanora seems to snap to "No! Don't fight!" she shouts, a glowing purple seal appears below her and flickers. it appears to crack and magic seeps off her "Please don't fight!" she cries. the parts of her hair that looked like feathers, become even more feather-like, and the magic coming off her starts to spiral out and around her. the spirals seem to slither and push the two sides away from each other. one wraps around Gregor and puts him with Anastasia.

Azrael had taken off after Gregor, obeying Vadris' earlier order to watch him. one of the spiraling arms of magic hits him and pushes him back very gently.

Vanora stand in the middle, crying because she didn't want them to fight. She couldn't help but still see Vadris as a friend, but she knew that she wanted to help the enslaved people.

Airou growls "What...What happened?" He asks, holding an arm up to protect his eyes from debris the spiraling magic was gusting up.

Mora rushes over to Rondar "Rondar! Are you ok?" she says with worry.

--------

"Do I?" Mirael chuckles

-----

"I don't see a necessity yet.." Caedmon says, and then magic started coming from Vanora "And now I do. Brann, a portal, target the magic."

Brann nods "Finally!" he closes his eyes and opens a portal.

"Quickly." Caedmon says and stands. He goes through the portal.

Rodric nods "Come on everyone, we need to help the Princess." he says and follows Caedmon fearlessly through the portal.

Claire and Brigada follow him.

-------

Rhis smiles as Iggy starts to growl at the doors, hearng the roaring outside. "heh, Looks like Iggy's getting territorial." he starts to walk over to him to pick him up, but suddenly stops dead in his tracks and stumbles into the wall, nearly falling.

Osiron rushes over to him and catches him before he acctually falls "Rhis?!" he looks at his face. his eyes were faintly glowing purple.

Rhis looked somewhat shocked and confused. he could not see the lobby, but instead everything Vanora saw.

Cazo glares at Jast "What did you do this time?!" he hisses

"I did nothing to him!" Jast hisses back.

Osiron shakes his head "It's magical..." he says and undoes Rhis' shirt. he sits him up and looks at his back. over top of the remaining seal Osiron had placed, was a large circular seal, tat seemed to be glowing from beneath his skin "What in the world...that...that isn't mine...I...I can't even read these marks."

Vaughn sets down the bag he was carrying and comes over "Those...I know those. But, those are the marks of a dead race...I don't know how he has those..."

"Do you know what it's doing?" Osiron asks, the worry was very obvious in both his voice and expressions.

"It...*cough*...it looks like...some sort of power blocking....*cough*." Vaughn says. he pulls out a small book and a piece of charcoal and starts to draw the mark.

Jast glares at Cazo.

"What? It usually is you." Cazo retorts

"Maybe I like him? Ever consssider that?"

[Dynamax]

""It will take more than an errant blast from him to stop me Mora." Rondar says as he gets up, ignoring the burns on his chest. "How is the boy?"

"He lives Rondar." Gregor says. "But what of Vanora?"

"What is this power? How could a girl from the other side...?" Kaizo was stunned.

"Do we stop her?" Ronka asks.

"Can this be...." Vadris' train of thought was derailed when he felt another power appear. "No..." He says as he sees the portal open.

----------

"Yes, you seem especially happy." Ildor says. "Did i miss something?"

"You'll see." Adona says playfully.

-----------

Cassius takes off to the portal, followed by his siblings, though surprisingly Mr. Bluestone beats him through.

"This is some crazy stuff huh?" Jagi asks Octavia.

"Just get your ass through." Octavia grabs him and tosses him through the portal and follows.

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

"Enough." Hector says. "Is it that sister they mentioned, that link of theirs."

"Umm...is this a bad time?" Hovering over them was Gilbert.

[Inkshade]

Caedmon steps through the portal and looks over the scene. he sighs "Well...I have my answer..."

Brann comes out after everyone else was through and the portal disappears "Damn..."

Rodric looks over "Lady Anastasia! Sir Gregor?"

Airou looks away from the Princess and spots Claire, Jagi and Octavia. "They sent more people over?"

Vito frowns "Vanny?" he starts toward her, only to be pushed back by the spirals "Vanora, it's uncle Vito sweetie, you can let me come near you." he calls, but is still pushed back.

Caedmon puts a hand on Vito's shoulder, in his other hand was dirt "A necklace please."

Vito nods and the dirt turns into a necklace.

Caedmon nods to him and starts to chant a spell, while walking towards Vanora. the spirals try to push him back, but he pushes through them.

"No more fighting...I don't..." Vanora shakes her head

Azreal goes to Vadris' side "Master Vadris, that boy...he's the one I got the book from." he says, looking at Brann.

--------

Mirael chuckles. "that you will."

--------

"Master Rhis is under some enchantment." Cazo explains to Gilbert.

"I...I don't think so..." Vaughn says "I've...I've seen things similar to this in readings about the wall but....this is hard to deceifer."

Osiron frowns "I...I'll try lifting the seal I have on him...that way if it is something to do with his sister he can find out...It's my seal that's keeping them from communicating." he drags a finger down rhis spine while muttering a spell.

The seal on Rhis' back disappears and he blinks. Don't fight....I...which do I believe? Elias, he's my friend, I love him but...Vadris...he's been kind, and he just misses his father like I do Rhis.... He heards Vanora's voice in his head. "V-Vanora?" he mutters

-------

The spirals around Vanora suddenly intensify. What's going on? What am I seeing? Vanora? Vanora is...is this you?

Vanora tears up "Rhis?" she is startled as Caedmon breaks through to her. "Wh-who?"

"Shhh....my you are your mother's girl...poor child." Caedmon says. "And these boys have gone and brought that out...I'm glad I don't have children...romance was never my thing."

[Dynamax]

Vadris glares. "CAEDMON!!" He yells. "Don't INTERFERE!!" Vadris looks over at Azrael. "Finish the job. Boys...destroy Caedmon and finish the job if crushing the rebellion. Incapacitate the outsiders." Vadris then begins to move forward. "I have no choice now Vanora, I can end my problem by killing that interloping swine."

"I think not." Mr. Bluestone snaps his fingers and columns of rocks rise up around Vadris, entrapping him.

Iago's jaw dropped.

"Vanora." Elias' runes burn brightly as he follow Caedmon in suit. "Calm down Vanora. It's going to be fine." He struggles with each step. "I just want you to be safe."

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

"I should probably check on seeing how the Five are doing. I figured you'd wish to partake." Ildor says.

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

"Oh my...well...umm...since i cannot help with that I should carry out my orders. You need to be careful of your friend there Osiron." Gilbert says, pointing at Jast. "Both Gustav and Karl would kill him on sight. The king did not wish you to have to fight either of them. Leave him outside, warn them of him and tell them Ildor commands his safety."

[Inkshade]

((Relena? ;D oh, and we might want to make a part 2 soon, we're getting close to 100 pages.))

Caedmon puts the necklace on Vanora "You can hear your brother again, now it's time you give him back what is his. You have enough power." he says clasping it. "Go to Elias for now, I need to have a word with your other friend about meddling." he turns to face the five "Children...a word?"

Vanora breathes slowly as the spirals fade away and her hair goes back to normal. her eyes flash purple, and then she faints.

Brann cracks his knuckles and runs at Azrael "Rematch time jackass!" he smirks.

Azrael braces for Brann. "Don't expect different results!"

Wind flies up and knocks the two back. Caedmon sighs "Brann, behave yourself. Azrael isn't it? Calm yourself, a half demon like yourself has no chance challenging me. Brann is my apprentice, you attack him, you chalenge me." he looks at the five "And the same goes to you boys."

---------

Mirael smiles "I don't mind the sound of that."

-------

Osiron nods "Alright, thank you." he looks back at Rhis "Son?"

Rhis sees everything go black, then his eyes flash purple and the other seal cracks and fades. he blinks and slowly starts to see everyone.

[Dynamax]

Without hesitation Ronka flies right for Caedmon. "YOU THINK YOU SCARE ME YOU OLD FOOL!!" Ronka's weapon disappears. "DEVIL'S CRUSH!!" He glows with power as he goes to nail him with a flying knee strike.

Karn steps in the way and takes the shot. He was winded but does not fall.

"What the Hell? I've toppled castles with that strike." Ronka says before Karn grabs him.

"I've been rejected by Hell. You cannot stop me with parlor tricks." Karn then tosses him aside and pulls out his swords. "You're mine."

"You're gonna need help Punk." Ronka summons his weapon.

"And he's got it." Travis steps in. "You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us."

"They've started to fight." Kaizo says, drawing his sword. "Let us see what they got. Honzai, see about the rebels. I'll take Vanora's people. Goshin, with me."

Goshin looks at them. "There's many...but they're all so...human."

Suddenly an arrow flies and almost hits Goshin, if it was not for a telekinetic field.

"Humans can still fight your disgusting tumor with legs." Cassius says. "You offend my eyes. Rid me of that and just cease to be."

"A wise ass huh?" Goshin says.

"Please, I'm the wise ass here." Iago says, flipping them off. "And I can take your dandy boy buddy with ease Fatso. Up yours and piss on you and your plans too."

Kaizo snarls. "The mustached one is mine."

Elias reaches Vanora and holds her. "Is she going to be ok?" He ask Caedmon.

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

"Alright then, come on in. My mirror can allow us such insight." Adona says.

"Thank you my Love." Ildor says. "After you Miss Estelle."

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

"Is he ok Lord Osiron?" Hector asks.

[Inkshade]

Caedmon glances at him "Yes. She just gave her brother back the power she took from him, so she's no longer at risk of dying. I guess that constitutes as ok." he sighs "I supose I can explain later...I will have to tell her, and she will tell you no doubt....so I may as well just tell you." he frowns. "It seems they want a fight...I'm not one for displays of power, however perhaps it is necessary to show you great-uncle that he best teach his pawns to leave me be."

Claire looks at Goshin "Cousins...let us show these demons the power of the Skycrest family." she says pulling out some throwing knives.

Airou smirks "A grand idea..." he mutters.

Rodric flips out his blade "You dare threaten emmissaries from a foreign land?"

Vito joins Elias and Caedmon "Elias, I will help you defend her." he says

----------

Estelle bows and steps through.

------

"I...I think so. Rhis? Say something son." Osiron says

Rhis blinks "I...VANORA!" he jumps and a vase shatters.

"Easy...easy." Osiron says "What happened? What did you hear?"

"My sister...she was afraid....there was a man...with green hair...and...magic swirling around her...." Rhis pants. "She...Vadris! She mentioned him...she didn't know who to trust him or...Elias!"

"Hmmm...The sooner we get to the capital the better. She won't be in danger if Vadris had her trust him....She may end up there herself."
