Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5Continuation of first thread: Night falls upon the castle, just as the weary adventurers whom had come to investigate the "Mad" scientist, settle in for the night. Magnus has said that he will test the teleportation device early the next morning. But his poor luck doesn't seem to be getting any better. What new fate awaits our hero? Watch as the adventure unfolds in the second installment of "The Way Home". OOC: Ack.. My muse is at near empty today..

Ralma nodded at Najia's diagnosis of Magnus' condition."He's just drank a little too much, he'll be fine by tomorrow. I just hope we can get home soon so I can take care of him properly." Ralma replied, "Where are you going to sleep Najia? I can set up something in the tower if you want.. Or you can take my hammock and I'll go and watch Magnus for the night." She glanced over towards Murr again, and her increasingly-catlike behavior. Ralma hoped that Murr wouldn't decide to sleep at Magnus' feet overnight, she reserved that right for herself!

In the growing Darkness Pendryg's form can still be half made out in the gloom, due to the faintly glowing runes on his face and neck, that vanish inside his shirt and coat. It casts a faint and ghostly light across his face and part of his upper body as he moves around the darkened grounds, searching out the recessess of the castle in curiosity, pausing once or twise as a rat runs over the toe of his boot or a string of bats flies shrieking by.
Socialy adept he is not, it's easier to be lost in the past than in a campfire conversation.

Andi walks out into the courtyard. He finds a suitable place and creates two crystal pillars and attaches his hammock on them."Nothing better than to sleep under the open sky!" He lays down into his hammock and yawns. "If somebody needs help just scream!" He closes his eyes and is soon asleep.

Scarcely noticing Tamar's observation of him, Magnus makes his way up the tower stairs to the lab once again. Almost slipping off the edge on several instances in the process. Mumbling absently about his project, he clears some junk off of the floor, revealing a modest sized sleeping bag that obviously has seen quite a bit of use.Carefully slipping into the comfortable bedding, he quickly begins to doze off, and the nightmares once again revisit him. OOC: Okay! If Tamar wants to try probing Magnus at this time, I'll write a bit bigger post.. ^_^ Everybody else? Keep the antics down for a bit.. Especially Mary Ig.. :-D

(ooc: well with an invitation like that ^_~)Tamar thinks briefly about following Pendryg and starting up a conversation. She is pretty curious to find out how he met Andi, and while that meeting could honestly have spawned some nightmares (ooc: ^_~) she has a feeling it would just be easier to talk. She takes a couple of quiet steps in the direction of his faintly glowing profile before she's distracted. The nightmare she had been watching before the others arrived streaked across the courtyard and into Magnus' room. "He must have already fallen asleep. Alcahol induced nightmares... this will be fun." She has a little mental shiver at the thought, but it still amuses her. In the darkness, it shouldn't be difficult for her to blur out without people noticing her. She reappears, if not in a physical sense, near where Magnus is sleeping. The room hardly seems big enough to hold his nightmares as they flit in and out of his dream. Tamar waits quietly for everyone in the room to be asleep (ie: whichever cat has followed him to bed). As soon as she feels that she is alone, Tamar picks up Dream and slips into Magnus' dream world.

Pendryg himself finds a place along a broken wall, paceing back and forth like a ghostly guard, unrestful. His presense to the magical sense an polite but constant weight, due to the very old enchantments that hang about him like his almost everpresent coat.

[OOC: Trust me, the only antics you'll be getting from me are going to involve getting comfortable for what I hope will be a good night's sleep.]IC: Mary Ig yawns largely (revealing an interesting set of fangs to those who might for some reason be watching her mouth) and walks quietly away from the table and finds an out-of-the-way room, remnant of one, as long as the roof looks sound. She slips her shoes off, and with a rustle and a slither her legs join and elongate, until her lower body has been replaced by about thirty feet of serpent (lustrous green with red diamondback pattern). With a sigh, she coils her self comfortably and rest her upper body on her coils, drifting off to sleep.
--------------------
That's yes, SISTER! Keep that up and you'll get a ruler where the sun don't shine. If you want to shepherd the flock, you have to be ready to fight the wolves.
Thanks for the wonderful picture, Kai! God bless you.

*Writer has been looking at the darkening sky for quite some time when he suddenly quietly walks over to Pendryg who's pacing restlestly"It's not so different than from where i come from you know. The sky i mean." *He's gazing up at the stars and then he sits down with his back against the wall his eyes still up in the sky* "What's the story 'tween you and Andi? You seem so....So irritated at each other."
--------------------

Pendryg stops pacing, standing with his arms behind his back staring out toward the woods.
"Truthfuly I wouldn't call it much of a story. He's a young fool who turned up, and seems to, with unerring consitansy, get under my feet. And then to get into the first trouble that presents it's self, and the second, and the third. The threats in general...as you might have heard earlier, started after I had to rescue an unfortunate young woman from him. She arrived in the area injured, and highly distrusting. And he actually started attacking her on the pretence of healing her. I interveened, and our poor relations have since gone downhill." He pauses to watch the stars for a moment and sighs. "So where is that you do come from, that you say the stars are similar, but not the same?"

A shadow shaped like Andi appears next to Pendryg but if you look you will find Andi's body sleeping in his hammock.Oh come on old man, I didn't hurt her I just wanted to knock her out that we could take care of her wounds! She needed a bad boy to be mad at and so I took the part! I just wanted to help her, and then you showed up and treatened to kill me, I got stabed at the shoulder and you enjoyed twisting the blade inside the wound! And you didn't have to 'rescue her! I would never have hurt her! She was violent, mentally unstable and dangerous for the others!

"She." Pendryg says, his voice as level as a sheet of glass and as unmoving as stone. "Is a woman. An injured and frightened one, who you had no business raising your sword to. What HONOR is there in attacking the terrified? Get back to your body before I finish remembering the dispelation spell I learned once."

Who ever said that I care about honor?You could swear that the shadow has just stuck out his tung at Pendryg. I just thought that it would be the best for her and the others when I knock her out before she hurts herself of one of the others. To me it doesn't matter who I fight a man or a woman they are all the same! He makes a waving gesture with his right hand. Where is your honor when you threat to kill a sleeping man?

Pendryg starts to trase gestures in the air that tingle of magic. "I never make a threat I have no intent to carry out." He says softly. "Go, Wolfdie. Before I finish."

I will leave for now, I think there are more interesting things to watch than you how you daydream of the good old times that will never come back!The shadow loses his shape and merges with the other shadows.
Andi opens his eyes and looks at the constelation of the Napping Cat. "I can't believe it! The old man would have realy killed me!" He closes his eyes again and falls asleep. His dreams are full of strange visions from a world full of towns made of pure crystals and ever again a old man that somehow reminded him of Pendryg, or was it Pendryg that reminded him of this old man? In his dreams he faught many fights against the old man and lost every time. It didn't matter if he was just 8 or 18 years old, the old man in his shiny crystal armour won every fight. But it didn't bother him! The only thing that made him mad was that the old man called him a boy even when he was 20.

Pendryg stands for a moment, staring out at the darkness, but somthing has changed in his expression, and his eyes smoulder with an half smothered rage, that he fights to contain, and when he finaly fails, siezes a toppled peice of rock and FLINGS it off into the knight with a half muffled *snarl*, before gripping the edge of the wall tightly, his shoulders helf so stiffly they shake.

"Well, if your all going to sleep, then I guess I have no choice myself. But I guess I should treat myself to the clean and crisp night air."Asuma quietly enters the courtyard and upon finding a small open patch, begins to unfold a tiny sleeping bag he held in his robe. Once he was snuggled in and confortable, he quickly glimsped at the night. I hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow... Within a few seconds, Asuma quickly closes his eyes and falls asleep.

"Have good sleep Najia! See you in the morning." Ralma says as she turns around to leave, just in time to see Mary's set of fangs in her yawn. Curious, she follows Mary down the corridors up until she veers off into a disused room.Waiting several minutes, and listening to the rustling and other noises that were coming from the room, Ralma eventually takes a glance within. Seeing Mary in her other form, sleeping upon the floor. Wow, a nun and a naga. This world is really strange.. Smiling slightly, she turns back and makes her way back out towards the courtyard, no longer bothering to be quiet, and her footsteps clearly audiable. She makes a quick turn around Andi's crystal hammock setup, and opens the door of the tower. Once inside she tightens the cords on the hammock so that the top of the door would no longer contact the hammock at all. This finished, she bounded up into the high hammock, and balled herself up in her blankets to keep her own heat to herself. She'd tell Magnus about the nun tomorrow, if she remembered that is.

Magnus dream is, at best, extremely confusing. The entire expanse is chaotic, and the skies are blood red. Below the earth is scorched barren, and is uninhabitable. Lightning strikes down upon the expanse on large pillar-like stones that occassionally seem to rise from the desert.Only two forms move in the scene, one walking with great ease, and the other moving with a mix of staggering and crawling. The first becomes visible as a very beautiful female fae, while the second is a much weakened Magnus, attempting to traverse the barren landscape despite his condition. "Give it up.. You're going to fail. Like you always do, just drop the whole thing and save yourself the humilation!" The fae's mouth doesn't move, but the sound obviously comes from her. Magnus visibly slips upon the sand, falling back several feet before regaining his foothold. "No.. I'm not giving up.. Not now." Magnus replies solemnly as he gets a grip upon the sandy hill and slowly crawls up over it, "I have to save everybody, it's my job, and my job alone!" What about Lexius? Didn't save anybody from him! Couldn't save Elaira! Couldn't save those peasants! And definately couldn't save yourself from tearing your heart out over the betrayal! The phrase "Elaira" made Magnus cringe visibly. He turned back to the fae, and glared at her. "Don't talk to me about HER.. I wasted half my life chasing her out of vengeance, and my lust to slay her was never put to rest!" Magnus suddenly screams. He returns his attention back upon the expanse facing him and he begins once again to climb the dunes. All that anger, all that hate, unchannelled.. You remember what it built up into don't you? And you couldn't even defeat the hate you yourself defeated! Your *sister* had to slay it for you! He was about to say something in his own defense, but as he began to speak an extremely large black blade dropped from the sky, skewering Magnus to the ground. Even despite the dark blood that was staining across the soil, Magnus remains conscious of both the pain and of what is going on around him. You drew yourself to this punishment Magnus.. Forever being cursed to misfortune, pain beyond belief! Agony and anguish! Your future life deserves a punishment in the present! A slight noise escaped Magnus lips, and Tamar knew immediately that Magnus had cursed upon the fae before him. And your fury will get you nowhere either, Magnus.. Hate me all you want, but at the end of this little dream, nothing will have changed. You will still be a pathetic weakling, and a failure at everything.

Within the nun's wimple, a newly reflective green eye opens, gathering the light into the dilated elliptical pupil."Looksss like I've been found out. I'd best follow her to make sure she doesssn't take it the wrong way." *sigh* "Just when I was getting comfortable, too." The nun slithers out of her room, slipping sliently past the sleepers and keeping to the concealment of the shadows. She reaches the central tower and enters, seeing Ralma's newly elevated hammock, and rears up, placing herself at the same level as the hammok or a bit higher. "We need to talk."

Ralma blinks, and rolls around in the hammock eventually managing to face Mary. She blinks at Mary's new pair of eyes for a moment not expecting to see snake eyes along with the snake body because of previous experiences."Of course.. I'd be glad to talk. But about what?" Ralma finally asks, sitting up in the hammock before hopping down again, draped in the warm blankets she had been using since the castle air was rapidly becoming cold. Ralma yawned tiredly, then drew the blankets she had around her tighter as a cold draft came in from the door. For some reason Mary Ig's form didn't frighten her in the least, except for the bizzare eyes that is. She acted like everything was completely normal other than this.

The nun keeps herself level with Ralma."I only wanted to be cerain that you weren't going to go screaming bloody murder after you saw me. Sometimes seeing me like this causes others to react a bit hastily."

(in dream)Tamar watches the events of the dream from the side of one of the stone monoliths. She grabs a fistfull of her wild hair to keep it from being blown back into her face from the dry wind. As the last words of the fae woman are flung towards her on that same wind, Tamar walks forward. Her walk is pretty disorientating. It's hard to tell whether she's walking forward through the dream, or if the dream is moving itself out of her way. Dream scampers ahead of her, surprisingly quickly considering that the only limbs left to him are his right foreleg and tail. He touches the nightmare fae and she begins to fade away, banished temporarily from this dream. Tamar almost reaches out and touches the blade as she walks in front of Magnus' pinned form, but she decides against it. She goes down to her knees, then sits on her heels at the spot that is easiest from Magnus to see from his position. His blood seeping slowly up her clothing goes completely un-noticed by the dream wraith. It is not un-noticed by Guardian. He doesn't appear, but his desire to show up shows itself by an increase in the air pressure. You get the feeling that there's something very large just outside of sight that wants to be noticed. Tamar studies Magnus' prone form for a few moments before she speaks. The sound of her voice seems to come from more places than just her, but nowhere in particular. "Why do you struggle?"
