Midnight slowly takes the dagger back and places it in the sheath.*
*Muttering.*
We are Watchers...
To see is our Raison D'Etre
To know is our stock in trade
*Midnight looks a bit surprised at the saying that easily slips from her tongue.*

*The familiar wry grin and a low, breathy, laugh....* It's good to know that some things can be relied on.  We might find the Watcher in you yet, Rhiannon! *The Pendant around his neck suddenly gives off a sickly green light. Barely bright enough to be noticed. The 'weed bandage appears to be helping... Though not curing...* |

*Midnight frowns at the jewel.* Maybe I can fix it. Not sure I can but I can try. *Remembering what happened to Sly Hands.* Just don't try to fry me ok. *Midnight takes hold of the green jewel. Then the world starts to swirl around the pair of Watcher's. All Zeph hears before both Watchers go into theusual coma like state is Midnight.* Oh no!! Not again! *and* Zeph please wait.... *With that the pair go on a journey that is about to reveal what happened on Rhiannon's last night on Arios.* (OCC: Continues in The Raid.) |

Fascinatin'.... look at this Diana! Out for the count...
Positive rigour mortis on the gell... but there's somethin' in her eyes...
I don't know what's goin' on in their minds Diana but it must be horrible.
Diana: We all have our shadows, Zeph.
Zeph: Too right, too right...
*Zeph seems stiller for a moment, deprived of an audience he begins to kick around the room, and goes off to explore the rest of the Wolf's Howl, always returning to the room, in case they come out of their trance*

[ModNote: Continuing for Coriolis and Midnight from the conclusion of The Raid.] *2 people return to their own minds and the enormity of the task ahead is buried for a moment in tightly controlled emotion... It's obvious that both are agitated about something but neither feel willing to speak...* *A blue glow surrounds the room, masking a much weaker green hue along the walls. The fairer sits down while the older paces. Only 2 of the 3 people in the room have experienced the truth of the past hour...* |

*Midnight stares at the pacing Coriolis for several minutes her mind swirling with thoughts, her heart screaming for revenge but work was ahead of them both be revenge would be got and from what she had seen and remembered they had a big job ahead of them. The creature was seemingly invicible. He had destroyed their whole home. Destroyed their lives all because of the necklaces seemingly.*
*She begins to tap her fingers on the table but after a couple of minute the noise annoys her and she stops.*
What are we going to do? Where are we going to start? I mean all the books our lores, were destroyed and even if some were saved I don't know how to get back to Arios anyway.
*Midnight sighs disgruntled at the lack of a starting point and still recovering from the day, the kidnap and every thing else and now the spirit-walk on top.*

*Zeriphel may be a buffoon at times, but even he can see that whatever just happened has disturbed his two new friends very badly. Quietly he approaches them, and although his mode of speech is similar his tone is more quiet and thoughtful*
I say, was that some kind of telepathy, wot? Could practically smell the energy bein' given off. Don't mean to pry, but hope it wasn't too beastly. Y'looked as if you were goin' to cry just then.
Don't suppose I can help? I'm a dab hand with findin' new solutions to your problems. And me ol' familiar, Diana, can always be trusted t'be the voice o'reason...
I say, are you alright?
[OOC: Not going to insist, of course, but I think that after what they've just experienced, the name Diana may be sensitive... Even though it's a complete coincidence]

DIANA!  Wrong Channel!  *He reflexively lashes out and catches the mages gold circlet... The effect is almost immediate on the mage:- His eyes start to spin rapidly in the manner of a fruit-machine... * * [BAR] - - [BAR]* *... and suddenly, cascades of gold coins fall from his mouth...* The only voice that I heard reason from was snuffed out a long time ago..... |

*Choking on the gold coins falling from his mouth, unable to see due to his eyes turning into windows, Zeph scrabbles on the floor for his circlet*
*As he does so, the floor starts to change around him, becoming more soft and pliable. The windows sprout hands and begin to reach out. Somewhere music starts playing a frantic jig, and bubbles rise from his fingertips*
Zeph: For.... heavens... sake! *Spitting out the last of the coins* Someone get the resonator before the chaos gets out o' control.... I can't see!
*Diana the moth pulls desperately at the circlet, but it is already sinking into the floor, as are the other occupants of the room*
*The torch lighting it starts to burn backwards*

*Midnight is somewhat stunned but unsurprised at Coriolis's outburst the name Diana had shocked her as well but she was too upset to loose her temper over it. She jumps off the chair as it begins to sink and grabs Zeph's reasonator just before it disappears from view into the floor. Passing it back to Zeph she lets him do whatever needs doing.*
There you go Zeph sorry about that we had some...rather disturbing news.

*Zeriphel grasps at the resonator circlet as Midnight passes it to him, already she is standing knee deep in floor. Despite his hands turning into tentacles and the distraction of the bubbles now pouring from his ears, Zeph manages to jam the resonator on his head and gives it a twist. Energy coruscates around the circlet for a short while as if earthing, and gradually the whole room returns to normal. Only a chair, impossibly half sunken into the floor remains of the chaos leak.*
*For a while Zeriphel doesn't speak, as if trying to clear his mind. Then he gets up and speaks very slowly*
I realise that y've had a bad time. I'm sorry if you object t'my familiar in some way, though I can't say she's done anythin' to hurt you. I'm sure y'have your reasons. But for heavens sake, DON'T touch the resonator circlet. As you've just seen, I've got a problem of my own. The ol'magic's very unstable. Believe me, it could have been much worse.
*Zeriphel draws himself up... takes a deep breath.... and once again is his old, upbeat self*
Anyway, at least there's no permanent harm done... O'course, I'd like to know what caused you pain, anythin' that'll help me t'help you... but not if I'm goin' to provoke that reaction....
Diana: On a personal note, I hope I haven't done anything to offend you?

*Midnight seeing that Coriolis is still agitated decides she is best to answer their questions. Just incase Coriolis does something stupid again.*
To Diana: Sorry about my friends behaviour and no you haven't done anything at all to offend us. Your name is just well a reminder to someone we lost. Someone we both cared for deeply. She was my mother and Coriolis's foster mother. We lost her sometime ago but due to reasons unknown I was taken or somehow removed from our world and I had forgotten all about it somehow. I forgot all my past. We have just relived that particular memory and I learnt my past.
To Zeph: Were very sorry about that Zeph but our tempers are a little frayed at the moment.
*Moments pass before Midnight carries on letting what she has just told them sink in.*
To Zeph: Any help you can give will be much appreciated and needed. Though we don't have much information to give you sadly.

All the records that we kept over the centuries were destroyed in the fire...  To my knowledge, we are the last of our kind... *The Watcher is completely drained. both from his disconnection to Kaylos teachings and the events of the past...* Almost nothing of the Watchers remains..... |

*Zeph listens as gravely as he can managed*
Dashed awful to lose a parent.... believe me, I know...
I don't mind if I'm workin' in the dark, that's quite normal for me, but me an' Di will help you close this pain in your past...
*Diana shakes her wings in agreement*
Now, question is...
*Zeph suddenly shudders, as if a chill breeze had passed*
Um, is it just me, or do you feel like there's somethin'.... unnatural round here....
Di: Zeph, are you sensing anything?
Zeph: Not sure, I've just got a dashed queer feelin' all of a sudden... it feels.... horrible....

*Coriolis feels nothing though his necklace still gives off it's sickly and faint light. However, scrabbling footsteps can be heard up on the howls roof.* [pointing upwards and simultaneously drawing the Dirk]:- Rhiannon..... Show time.... |
