Trevor reached to the fire coming at him by sinking quickly into the ground, disappearing. For now, he was trying to position himself to attack inconspicuously.
Halo saw Rikta going for Valdis and whipped up a very strong and cutting wind to blow her back in the opposite direction!

Rem narrowed his eyes, and took to the air with hit jetboots to avoid the flames. He charged up fire in his free hand, and fired off his fire rocket attack. The two fireballs began to track the blue haired kid, as they would home in on him.
Aqua saw Rikta coming at her with her claws, and her neck turned to vapor so the claws missed entirely. "Ask me again if I care." Her body then turned entirety into vapor as she traveled into the air above her. Large spikes of ice then formed into the air above her, and rained them down onto her.

Arianna's knees buckled from the shock of pain in her chest and she stumbled. It only lasted a second, but a shadow of pain still lingered. Regaining her stance, she realized her Rift was gone, and she was unable to create another one.
Shit, this isn't good. Not only that, but they appeared to be surrounded.
She turned to Valdis, "I'm gonna Shift us!" Arianna grabbed his arm and made the attempt, but she felt too much resistance -- somehow he was preventing her from getting full use of her Powers. "Shit!!"
Keeping hold of Valdis (if he allowed it), she glanced around for some exit, some escape route, but there was nothing. The nearest houses (if you could call them that) were too far away to run to without risking getting caught. She had to hope that whatever the blue haired guy did would wear off, or stop if her friends broke his concentration enough. She felt trapped, and helpless. And pissed off.
Overhearing Ritka and Aqua, Arianna scoffed, "He doesn't belong to anyone!" But there wasn't a lot she could do to help Aqua. Instead, she focused on her other Powers, pulled out her bow, and looked around for the blue haired kid again.
Wait, the blue haired kid..
"Valdis, is this the same kid who attacked you earlier??" What is this about??
The boy's bird caught her eye, and she aimed a Hate arrow at it and released.

Valdis looked at Arianna, there was fear in his eyes and just nodded. A crazy Irate and some random Blue Haired boy were both targeting him and both seemed to be quite dangerous. Valdis looked around and held his hands out.
The Blue Haired Boy simply chuffed at Rem's attack, and dove backward again, flipping on his hands, but noticed the fireballs approaching him. "Hmm, what a bother," he muttered and then then side stepped. The fireballs barely missed although they seared a part of his clothing as they scraped by. He then held his hands up and power went through the bird that was flying overhead again. This power turned into a ripples that pulsed through the area. Rem and Arianna would feel pain like their own auras were being attacked. It would be like a horrible gut punch with each ripple.
Rikta simply laughed as Aqua's ice spikes struck her and...she even seemed to moan a bit. With nary a care she began to float upwards, her body was scraped but shadow grew out of it. "I'm not the weak mortal I once was," she said almost sing-song as she levitated upward. Shadow grew out of her and then Rikta became translucent her image expanding like a monster. Infected shadow shot out from everywhere coming at Aqua and spreading.
Markov who had been fighting off grunts noticed this and spread his shadow mist to Aqua to try to block it, but it would not be perfect. "Feels like I'm pushing against a couple of tanks," he said, and then realized an infected was coming at him and had to divert his attention with a quick block of shadow.
"Valdis, your aunt is waiting for you, it's been too long," said the Blue Haired boy, "now shut up and come."
"I'm not going with any of you," shouted Valdis to Rikta and the Blue Haired Boy. Plant life began to die around them and became a white mist. Valdis expanded it outward like a wave and spread it out between them. The wave spread but it would be hard to tell if Valdis was in full control.

Arianna met Valdis' eyes. He looked so little in that moment.. she wanted to hug him and make everything else disappear.
Another debilitating phantom pain washed over her and she grimaced, doubling over clutching her abdomen. A frustrated cry escaped her through clenched teeth.
Between pulses she kept trying to form a Rift, hoping that her Powers would come back to her.
Meanwhile she spoke directly to Rem: "There has to .... be a way to .... kill that .... fucking bird!!"

As the life force wave from Valdis expanded, the pulses that came from the bird increased. The Blue Haired boy began to approach Arianna and Valdis, walking with confidence. "Hurts, doesn't it?" he said. The wave from Valdis suddenly stopped and the pulses seemed to mix with it. "A little aura attack, funny thing is, the stronger you are the more it'll hurt. I guess powerful auras are a bitch, aren't they?" he said. The wave mixed with the pulses and began to dissipate in the air. "Rikta," called out the boy to the Irate leader, "yours," he said as the life essence wave mixed into the air and began to mix now with Irate infection.
The boy then reached out to Valdis. "Forget your past? Lucky prick, I'd give anything to forget mine..."

Trevor had been underground for a while charging energy and positioning himself to attack. He was now underneath the blue haired boy and was ready. Without warning, a dome of earth burst up to cover him in something like an earthen bubble that then hardened and solidified to come like strong, smooth stone. "Halo! Electrify it!"
Catching the idea, and if the boy had indeed been trapped in the stone bubble, Halo would shoot as much electricity at the bubble as she could. She had to supply it with energy continuously, though, since stone in and of itself was not a conductor. If they had luck, this would take the boy out of play temporarily to allow the group to focus on the bird and on Rikta.

As the Blue Haired boy reached for Valdis the earth dome collected around him, and he was caught off guard a little bit. As Halo sent electricity into the dome it would begin to heat up (because physics and stuff, Halo), however, while the stone conducted nothing the byproduct of the intense electricity was intense heat. This took the Blue Haired boy out of play for a moment but from in the dome his voice came. "Hmm, what a bitch this is," he said.
The bird, flew down towards Halo, it was glowing intensely with and as it approached it's very presence would cause pain to Halo, it would be her very aura was being attacked and turned against her.
Meanwhile the pulse of life essence mixed with the Irate infection and Rikta spread it out. "You can't kill me, and your pain is just fun to watch. I'll squeeze you until there's nothing left." The Irate infection now shot into the earth. Where before it seemed to be connected to Rikta, this one seemed to be connected to the earth and began to infect everything around it. It would be like a puddle of decay that whatever it touched began to die and become more shadow like

Halo felt her aura being attacked! It was very very uncomfortable and it caused her to stop sending electricity onto the stone dome. The heat would obviously dissipate but it would be slow so the intense heat lingered. Halo, pissed off, flew into the sky to try to get distance from this annoying bird. She covered herself in Time energy to hopefully ward off what the bird had done to her.
Meanwhile, Trevor kept the dome as stable as he could. He didn't want to try to crush the boy and kill him. He was so young, and well, he didn't believe in killing children. At least not without much much more reason to. He focused on keeping him contained.

The bird followed Halo as she moved to keep her tied down with it. However once she got a certain distance away it circled back to the dome, which had begun to shake. "Dirt man, if you take me on, have more than 1 plan in mind," called the Blue Haired Boy. The bird glowed and blue tinged aura shot at the dome of earth. It suddenly exploded into a thousand shards as the boy stepped on out brushing his seared clothing. "Annoying," he said. The bird then focused on Trevor and a blast of blue aura fired right at him.

Rem was pressured by the aura based combat. If only Raylu was here, he'd be the perfect counter, but he was with Ponic and Keera. He had to think, what did he have to counter Aura? Rem glanced at his gauntlets, and the perfect idea came to mind. Chaos Darkness. Though he couldn't use it in his base form, he could if he transformed into a Darken. He'd run the risk of being weaker to the aura combat, but then so would the boy. Cover me if you can. Rem replied to Arianna, as his orb suddenly glowed, and his body was engulfed in Chaos Darkness. In his monstrous form, he lept through the air, the aura weakener disrupted due to his aura changing, as he lunged for the boy. He had no problems with holding back in this form, so he was prepared to go all out. One of his arms began to form into tentacles as he neared the boy.
Aqua was forced to back away from the the Irate waves, which Markov bought her enough time to get clear. "I don't have to kill you to beat you." Being forced to abandon her earlier idea, in an effort to contain the infection, the water she got underground began to surround the infection under and above ground. If she's not alive, she must have a soul still to be alive... Aqua contemplated to herself. For now she kept the attention on her as much as possible, forming Ki energy in her hands, as she began to launch a barrage directly at Rikta.

Trevor's dome was officially defeated and now he had blue aura being fired at him! He threw up a wall of earth between himself and the aura blast. Even if his wall was destroyed, he expected to have enough time to retreat a bit. He ran in the opposite direction to gather himself. He tried to create a thick sludge-like mud. [1/2]
Halo, relieved to have had a moment to collect herself from that darned bird, was not charged up with Time energy. Once she got close enough to Rikta, she would release it in a wave and the intention was to slow Rikta down significantly, as if she was cut to half-speed. If effective, it should have lasted about 10 minutes.

Rikta was slammed by Aqua's ki energy, but she did not seem even slightly perturbed by it. In fact she simple smiled, spreading her arms out as if inviting it. "It feels wonderful," she said smiling, taking pleasure from the pain. The Irate infection continued to spread and then she threw her hands up and it held up like a shield to Halo's time energy. "I am not departed," she said, "and now I am everywhere." Rikta began to seemingly melt in front of the fighter's eyes. She spread along the ground and then rose up all over, more began getting infected, the land itself rotting. More Irates began spreading. "This is getting bad," called Markov, who was trying his best to hold him back. Just further on the group would see Ponic and Keera, even they were being driven back. Rikta approached Halo, her hands out, "the time one," she said, "you've been marked." Irate infection spread from around her, "his aunt does not want you here."
Valdis, who was sticking close to Arianna then called out. "There's nothing inside her," he said, pointing at Rikta. "She's empty."
The blue haired boy, saw the darken approaching and did a flip head over heels. He landed on Rem and sent another pulse of energy into his bird. The bird, which had followed the boy, then swooped down at Rem and clawed at his back. If it struck, Rem would feel the boy's aura power. It was not like the aura energy he was used to with Niko. Niko's was like a massive explosion of aura, an extreme amount made manifest. This boy's power was unmistakably aura, but it was more like an absence. Like it shut an aura down, or turned it in on itself, as though it were a cold blanket instead of a hot sun. "Are you coming, or not?" shouted the boy, seemingly to no one.
Trevor would suddenly find out who as he'd find mud like sludge of the same kind as his power approaching him. An old foe that the group had not seen in a long time, still wearing his usual attire of a bandaged up mouth and dark black clothes like some mismatched tuxedo. Marcion approached, his clawed hands extended at Trevor. "You're getting in the way," he said.

Trevor was surprised by Marcion and by the alternative sludge suddenly coming at him. All he was currently prepared to do, though, was to bring up his own mud he'd been concocting to slam against Marcion's to counter it. [2/2] Where did this guy come from all of a sudden!?
Halo, shocked by Rikta's mild reaction and then her bizarre words, grimaced. "I'm not marked by ANYONE, witch!" She blasted at her with strong lightning, a bit of background rash and snappy reaction.

Aqua saw not only was her attacks useless, but also they seemed to pleasure her. To which Aqua was greatly pissed for some reason. She saw what was happening to Halo, and saw her on the attack, so she reached out to her. Halo, she seems to be immortal or something....Your blessed with Niko's anti spirit spell right? I'll prep her, and you go in for the kill Aqua said to her telepathically. She then started forming more large amounts of water, sending them at Rikta. It seemed like another pointless attack, but she had a plan.
Darken Rem was prepared for this. As the bird neared his back, chaos darkness spikes would jet out at the last second with the intention ot impaling the bird. Dealing with the boy, Rem's arm that turned into tentacles would of instantly chased after the boy, as Rem expected him to dodge away from him. They would of been covered in blades, so grabbed or not, it would of swiped at him for sure.

However, the bird was as nimble as its master and it dodged and weaved through the spikes before crackling out lightning like aura energy. The boy dodged and weaved around the blades, swiping his hands out the lightning aura shot towards him and he used it to deflect the blades.
As the mud slammed together, Marcion had vanished from Trevor's sight, another feint. The blue haired boy flipped toward Trevor, and struck down at him with aura, also hoping to lead the tentacles to him.
As Halo attacked Rikta with her lightning energy she'd find out just what "marked" was. Marcion, had peeled away from Trevor and Halo being distracted would feel almost like a hand had grabbed her. If she looked she'd find Marcion on the ground beneath her, his hands were beginning to glow with time energy. "Do it," he called.
The blue haired boy flipped again from Trevor, successful hit or not, and began glowing, this time instead of blue aura it was the standard gold colour. He sent a hell of a lot of energy into the bird, which then struck Marcion. Marcion screamed, as though in pain and then expelled all the time energy he had leached from Halo. Above the group a large portal would appear, high in the sky. Rikta flew upwards, shadow all around her as she placed herself right at the entrance, guarding it. Markov saw the portal open as the sky darkened and lighting crackled. "Holy crap," he muttered. If the group took a moment to look around they'd realize the Irate infection had spread far and wide, and there were a hell of a lot of infected approaching. They were being held back by Ponic and Keera, but there were just too many.

Aqua was taken aback by what suddenly happened to Halo, but by now, it was to late to stop what just happened. "Shit..." Aqua mumbled. She was trying to figure out what was happening. She saw her efforts to stop the Irate spread pointless now, as well as the portal made with time and aura open up. Noting that Rikta was now guarding this portal was enough for her to understand it was bad news. Even if I use that new form, will it even be enough? Aqua thought to herself. For now, she had to do something. Her body covered in water, she flew upwards to meet Rikta. Massive amounts of water began to form behind her as she flew. Thrusting her arms forward, the large amounts of water would begin to attempt to both wish her away, as well as strike the portal. She planned to cover, then freeze over the portal. It's all she could think of.
Rem was struck by this aura lightning, and while it hurt, he didn't falter. "Get back here you little shit!" Rem yelled, as he began to quickly move on the blue haired kid, tentacles swinging wildly. He was also firing out waves of chaos darkness from his mouth, trying to overtax the kid. Sooner or later he had to make a mistake Rem could jump on.
Raylu was assisting Ponic and Keera this whole time, but now he was noticing the large amount of infected auras. "We best think of something fast, or soon we will be overrun. Their numbers grow by the seconds."

Rikta held her hands out and covered them in shadow and grabbed them. She leaned in very close to Aqua and smirked with a deranged fanged grin. "Little girl, I've been holding back because this has been fun. But you can't go that way," Rikta's power then seemed to jump a hundred fold, and Aqua's water would begin to rot. She then spun and let out a strike so hard it would be as though Aqua had been hit by a tank, to throw her right back down to the ground. Rikta grew and seemed to become fused with the clouds themselves, Irate infection pouring out of them
Ponic looked around and nodded. "No option," he said levitating upward. Extreme amounts of shadow began to gather around him but before Ponic could do anything he seemed to suddenly freeze. Keera looked up, "Ponic?" she began but Ponic did not answer, he just grunted and looked at the others in the eyes before suddenly vanishing, disappearing from existence, all that was left was his time dagger. The entire area around them would begin to fade and shift. Irate infection was still there, but the amount of infected changed, and where they were standing also changed. The blue haired boy also seemed to be utterly someplace else, well away from Darken Rem. He was standing ontop of a farm, his arms crossed. "You are all such idiots," he said, "believing what your eyes see and nothing else." There was someone standing next to him, as well. A cloaked figure, clearly a male. The group would not recognize him by sight alone but there was a certain quality of his aura. Was this the same "scientist" they had fought in the lab? The one that battled with illusions.
The blue haired boy flipped down from the far, but his bird caught his arm and lifted him up. "Go put some flowers by brother's grave. That little fucked always got everything." The bird flew away with the boy, while the cloaked man also seemingly vanished. The group would also notice a very slight wisp, like a passing wind float through the battlefield. A single phrase echoed through the area. "My sweet boy." This caught Valdis' attention and he looked up suddenly, "aunty?" he whispered. The portal in the sky crackled as though something had passed through it.
Rikta, meanwhile he begun spreading infection all around, coming down as rain, now. Shadow popped up around the group, waves of it. Markov was knocked back with the others, as was Keera. "Um, we should leave now," shouted Markov. Keera shook her head, holding Ponic's time dagger, "what is happening?" she muttered, exasperated. Valdis, meanwhile just kept repeating something. "Aunty...aunty? No you left me...aunty?"

Aqua's eyes widened by the rotting of her water, leaving her attack literally dead in the water. Not being ready for that, or Rikta's sudden power spike, she was struck out of the air. She was able to shift her aura to a defensive mode, allowing her to break the fall by weakening the impact, but still hitting the ground hard. For a moment she was winded, struggling to get back up right away.
Rem was enraged by the boys tactics, but as everything was happening, and the boys fleeing, Rem changed back. He noticed the state Valdis was in, and knew that was the priority. Arianna, that boy is gone. Can you shift yet? We need to get Valdis out of here before anything else. Rem was worried about that happened to Ponic, but with so much going on, it was hard to directly focus on it at the moment.
Raylu was caught off guard by the sudden change around them, as well as Ponic suddenly disappearing. The infection must of been hampering my aura sight. I should of been able to see through this illusion had I known...What is happening? And that boy...Now that I've directly seen his aura, there's something it reminds me of. I must think... Though Raylu was mostly worried about the remaining Irate, and Rikta.
Aqua began to sit up, looking at Rikta directly. I can't keep losing like this...There has to be something I can do to her...I don't care how strong she is... Aqua took note of what had happened around her, but she didn't know what was happening. Ponic disappeared, the landscape did, as well as the Irate disappearing. She was feeling helpless, and it was pissing her off. But put on the defensive, Aqua put her hands up to form a dome of water overhead everyone. It was clear it couldn't hold back the infection, but it might buy the others a few moments to figure out what to do.

Trevor was completely in agreement with Markov at this point. "He's right! We need to retreat with Valdis and come up with a new game plan, guys!" At this point Trevor was in pure defense mode.
Halo cried out from the pain and just wouldn't have been able to respond to Aqua. She didn't want to retreat but if the others did obviously she would, too. Admittedly, she was a bit at a loss for what to even do next and she ended up trying to avoid the infection that was consuming the area.

"She's empty"? Arianna looked from Valdis to Ritka. "She's not really there... it's just like the warehouse... we can't actually hurt her... HALO! AQUA!" But there was no time, Marcion was there already, and suddenly everything changed.
She didn't know what was going on, but she understood that they were being messed with. Illusions were at play here, she didn't know what was real.
A voice echoed on the wind: "My sweet boy.." Chills went down Arianna's spine. She knew instantly whose voice it must be. His aunt.
"Valdis, if we're going to escape we have to go now," she turned to face Valdis, holding onto his shoulders, and tried to look him in the eyes. Her voice sounded urgent. She could feel that her Powers were mostly restored to her, she was sure she could Shift at least herself and most likely Valdis too.
"I know it's your aunt, and you might want to see her," Arianna continued, "but if we wait much longer I don't know what will happen. I can Shift us out of here, will you come?"

Valdis looked frightened unable to think but met Arianna's eyes. His normally dead faced stare focused right on her but he nodded. Arianna would find her powers were alive again and once they had vanished they would reappear at the cabin (because I'm assuming that is where Arianna sent them). Markov, quickly moved to Halo to check on her, as she seemed a bit hurt from Marcion's power leech. Keera simply stood staring at the Dagger of Memory, what had happened? What in the world had happened?
"We're still being manipulated. They wanted us there," said Keera lowly, "to take down Ponic, and to copy Halo's time powers." She was shaking, it was hard to tell with anger or pain, it was likely both.

Everyone was recovering from the stress of battle, and coming to deal with what just happened. Rem quickly went to Halo's side once the moment passed. "Are you feeling alright?" Rem asked, offering her a potion.
Aqua seemed to be thinking. "The Irate infection would of drawn in Ponic for sure, but....for what? Plus the issue of Halo's energy. They could of used any time energy, right? What did they do with that portal, and how did they pull that bitch Rikta into this?..." Aqua didn't know much about Shadow Wielder lore, so she felt pretty useless at the moment. "But I don't believe he's dead. If that whole mess was an illusion like that kid said, then maybe something else is going on." She said, in some effort to remain positive, and offer some hope to Keera.
When they returned, Raylu was lost in thought. He was trying to piece some information in his own head together, along the lines of something he heard during the fight. He looked to the others, who were recovering, as he sent a healing aura through the area, recovering the others. After this, he spoke. "I wish to check something I learned during the battle and see if it yields a clue. Something the young boy said stood out to me. I will not be long." Raylu said

Keera looked at Aqua and sighed, steeling herself. "I don't think he is dead," said Keera, "I can...I can feel him, but he's distant, here," Keera held the dagger out to Aqua. "Concentrate." If Aqua took it she'd feel the same thing. There was an impression of Ponic but it was only when holding the dagger. Not like a memory, as if he was somewhere distant, but connected to the dagger in a way, not quite dead, but not quite alive, either.
Markov looked at Raylu, "are you sure you should...and he's gone," Markov sighed, annoyed. "They wanted Halo for her time energy," said Markov, "they might have gone after her because she's also our source of time energy, and why open a time portal. Where is it going?"
"Aunty was there," commented Valdis, "she was there, I felt her." He was standing separate from the others and then he suddenly held his head. "A prize," he started saying, "kill the demon, run away, no one will love you you are mine. Where are you? Wait for me, my dear. We'll see you soon," Valdis was rambling again.

Aqua followed Keera's lead, and did as she said. She was getting the same feeling Keera was, but not quite sure what to make of it. "I can feel it to, it's strange." She paused for a moment. She looked at Markov when he spoke. "That's possible, since Halo was easily available to them because of us. But...I get the feeling it's not about going somewhere with the portal, otherwise why protect it so badly? I think it's to bring something here, and the more Valdis speaks of her, the more I believe it's whoever this 'Aunty' is. If only we had a clue as to what she is." She then began to hear Valdis's ramblings. "I'm almost sure of it now. Whatever she is, she has a lot of power." She then rushed over to Valdis. "Are you alright Valdis?"
-------
In a flash, Raylu appeared outside of the home of Niko's family. He hoped to learn something, and had the feeling that time was of the essence. So he quickly knocked on the door, after confirming that they were home.

Halo gratefuy accepted the potion from her husband. "Yeah that was weird but also... I can't imagine they were actually travelling through Time... Even I can't do that... no Time Demon can truly do that with Time Power alone...." It was bizarre.
"At least for now we're all in one piece" Trevor commented.

Valdis did not appear to notice Aqua at all because he was rambling and clutching his head. He just kept repeating random sentences. "Valdis, hey Valdis, it's just us," said Markov giving him a little shake, "snap out of it." Valdis held his head and grunted, he looked at the others and then sat down on the floor banging on his head. "I can't remember, I can't remember, I can't remember!" Valdis kept banging his head with his fists, "I want to remember, I want to remember! She was there, she's still wispy! She wasn't always wispy, she became wispy!" Whenever Valdis talked about his aunt he always called her wispy.
Keera looked down at Valdis. The boy still made her uncomfortable but she did not like seeing him like this. She knelt down and put her hand on his shoulder, gently rubbing his back. "Aqua, there'd be no reason to pull us there to open a portal just to leave it. They have to be using it, and how many sources of time energy do you know of off the top of your head. They copied Halo's power and then powered it with aura to increase its strength. They clearly want to do something with that portal."

At Raylu's knock, Tatiana would open the door, Rishno was behind her. "Raylu, what are you doing here?" she asked.

Halo thought hard for a few moments. "I think we can follow them..." She said suddenly. " Guys. We all have that Mystic Power right? On my own I can't Time travel. But with all of our Mystic Power channeling into my Time Powers... Their scent of where their Time portal went to is still there. So can direct the Time Power, and all of us together can power a Tome Portal that will lead to where they went! Errr... In theory..."
"Sounds safe..." Trevor sounded a little skeptical, but he was just more nervous about it than anything. Nonetheless, he trusted Halo.

Aqua was concerned with Valdis, but asking him what he meant was useless if he didn't know himself. Aqua sighed for a moment, in response to Keera. "Your probably right. It's easier to brainstorm aloud for me sometimes. But what would a portal of time be..." She trailed off, then Halo gave her explanation, and gave herself a facepalm. "Of course, Halo's time is different because of Mystic power. I didn't think of that. They amplified her time and mystic power with aura for something unnatural. I wasn't thinking of that."
Rem looked worried. "If they did time travel, then that's our only option then of following them. I doubt if that Rikta isn't real that she can be defeated, so this might be the only way to follow them. But should we take Valdis? If they want him, then bringing him along is bringing him right to them. On the other hand, I'm not sure how safe he is here without our full forces..."

"My apologies for dropping in unannounced Lady Tatiana, Sir Rishno, but I needed to confirm something with the two of you of an urgent and important matter." Raylu started. "Do either of you know of Sir Niko having a brother?"

Keera stood up, holding the Dagger of Memory, and there was steely determination in her eyes. "I won't be joining you. I need to find and save, Ponic. Valdis can stay with me, and we won't stay here. I could also feel Rikta's shadow powers. They were inbetween, the same way that Ponic feels right now when I hold this dagger. They are connected in some way, which means the best place to look might be the Shadow Realm. Valdis can come with me, they won't expect him there, a few can come with me, too."
Valdis stood and shook his head. "I'm going to the past." He looked over at Arianna, "I want to see, I want to remember." Keera looked over to Arianna. She was for all intents and purposes like his adoptive mother, so she felt she should have a say.
Markov was about to volunteer when Keera shook her head. "In case I am wrong, you should go with the others. Cover both ends, Markov." Markov sighed but nodded, "I hate it when you're right." He then looked at Halo, "going after their portal won't work, not after what we just left. We don't have aura but we all have Mystic Realm power, so together I think we can pull it off, let's do it."

Tatiana looked shocked for a moment, and Rishno looked utterly clueless. "He mentioned him once," said Tatiana, "when we first met. I asked him if he was an only child and he got very serious, and then said 'that part of my family is gone, and is never coming back.'"
