::walks thru the trees.....her mind still confused over yesterday's events. How could she have taken her dagger and tried to stab Rix? she asks herself. Morte's head pounds, the voice in her head whispers to her like a lover. She stops in the darkness o' the forest, slumpin down against a large oak. "Adonai" she whispers softly.....then her eyes go black and the chaos begins in her mind. She stares, heedless o' the dark evil laughter that rolls through the trees.::

::enters the woods after searching for her sister for days. Gasps as she stumbles upon Morte::
"Och, Morte luv, what have they done ta ye?"
::bends down and picks up the verra still body o' her sister. Morte's head lolls back and a verra quiet moan escapes from her. Kys frowns at thought o' Morte lying here for days....unable to summon help. Kys walks verra carefully back to the road and carries Morte to ManorDulce.Once there, Kys gathers up Morte's belongings and the children and pens Adonai a note. Then, leading the children and carrying Morte, she heads back to the forests of their childhood.::

Run far away Morte. For your hubby is not what he appears.He is an evil,man intent on destroying those he claims to love. For further proof...I have some transcripts ye shall be interested in.They prove he is not who he appears to be. Run Morte...run far...protect you and those children from him.

::Morte runs through the trees, branches scratchin her thinly clad body. Her heart pounds in her chest, the fear driving her on. She trips o'er a root, her body hitting the ground knocking the air from her lungs. A terror seizes her as she clamours to regain her footing in the dark o' the forest. Morte hears the crashin o' the beast as it comes closer to where she runs, a dark evil laugh surrounds her. Close to panic,she screams "Adonai". She looks wildly around for her love to save her, and then runs
faster, fleeing from the terror, a voice in her head shoutin "Run Morte, Run".::

::The nurse looks up as Kys enters the room::
"She be verra restless, Kys, and she be callin his name again...."
::Kys frowns as she crosses the room to her sister, her hand caressing Morte's face.::
"I have sent him letters, Beebin, tis up ta him now."
::With a shake o' her head, Kys goes ta check the children.::

::she thinks to herself:: Morte.... Dying.... It can't be......

::When Tawny came and told her the news from Kys she couldn't believe it. But, now she knows it to be true. She runs quickly to her home and snatches up what she thinks she'll need while she's away. Hastily she leaves a short note of explanation for Daemon on the door as she hurries to be with Morte and Kys.::

::the tall albino reads the message left on his bed. He quickly washes the days sweat from his body and walks to the stand up. He removes his priestly attire. The very robe he wore when he married Morte and Adonai. Placing the Circlet of the Guardianship on his head he walks across the room. From a Jewel encrusted scabbard he withdraws the Scimitar of Knowledge and waits for the information he is concentrating on. "Where is Morte?" he speaks aloud. An image enters his head, then leaves. It was a Manor,
in the woods, out side stood a woman. He thinks about the woman, how familiar the stance, yet somehow different. He pays it no more thought. As a side thought, he grabs the amulet he was given the other day. He places it in his pocket. Slowly he grips the Amulet of the Planes, his fathers Onyx Falcon head, that he always wears. Relying soley on the Scimitar's image he attempts to teleport. There is no margin for error, he must get it right or else fall to his own death or arrive below the surface of the
planet. The Amulet begins to glow softly first then brighter. As his body starts to fade he thinks again about the woman standing outside the manor. Perfectly silent he arrives a scant foot behind the woman. The Warrioress turns suddenly, blade drawn incredible fast. Weaponless, Daemon shouts "Yield" then looks into the eyes of Kyssandria the blade still coming for his neck. He can't believe she is alive, returned from the Abyss. His mind tells him she cannot stop the killing blow. He fixes his red
eyes upon her lovingly and tilts his head away from the blade::

::the air turns chill around Kys as she stands outside the house. She draws her blade quickly, swinging the blade towards the gods know what. A familiar figure appears before her as her blade moves towards his neck. Her mind screams "NO!" but she can not stop the forwards momentum of the sword. Droppin her shoulder and falling to her knees, she manages to slice down his thighs instead of his neck.::
"Dae" she says breathless from the ground, "thank the gods you've come. Morte's almost gone"

::Kys stands slowly hugging her oldest friend, crying out her pain. Then leads him into the cottage::

::tightly he holds his oldest friend, ignoring the pain in his legs, crying with her. "You're alive. How, when. . ." He pushes her slightly back looking down into her eyes after so long thinking she was dead. "Let us see to your sister. There is something I would like to do for her, with your permission." Slowly he walks into the cottage steadying himself for the shock he knows he is about to face.::

::turns slowly her skin glowing, her eyes piercing:: "I canna tell the horrors nor the price I paid to return...but I am powerful, and more scary to meself now." ::They enter the cottage, a fire roars in the fire place, and a silent figure sits in a chair. She looks up at Dae.::

"Dae," Khrysta says, " I have done all I could do." ::she sighs sadly.

::Dae starts at seeing her there. He turns to look at Kys amazed that they are both here. Kys opens the door to the bedroom and beckons Dae inside. Morte lies restlessly on the bed, so small and translucent looking. Kys moves beside the bed, picking up the small hand, her eyes full with tears.::

::he pauses at the doorway, looking again to his wife. He can't look at her, he knows she is defeated, and it pains him deeply. He moves through the doorway and takes the very hand that Kys is holding. Grasping them both lightly he hears a small sound escape Morte's lips. He leans over and places his ear next to her lips::

::The fogs clears slightly and Morte makes out the friendly face of Dae. She hears the footsteps of the beast following behind her to this place. She reaches out her hand to Dae ....her voice sounds hollow and rasping to her ears.::

"Adonai..." she whispers, "tell him I love him. Tell him....the beast is evil and devours all that is good."

::Kys and Dae look questioningly at each other as Morte's hand falls back to the bed. Neither truely understands Morte's message, and both feel helpless to save their beloved sisterand friend.::

::looking into the eyes of her oldest friend, Kys asks.:: "What can you do for her that others have not tried Dae." ::her voice breaks.:: "You yourself said she is all but gone from this place"

::steadying himself, and gaining confidence with each word he speaks.:: "The Amulet Kys, My fathers amulet can open gateways to other planes of existance. Please, let me carry her body to Paradise while her soul is still within. She will then no longer suffer, and finally find peace."

::comes rushing in.......a small voice in his mind urging him here::

"Gods!!!! What has happened!!" Adonai exclaims....lookin upon those of his friends that came to be at his beloveds side.
Daemon looked up a sad smile on his face.
"We know not for sure Adon, she was, as you can see, possessed by a deep evil."
"As have I my friend.......please....your pardon as I try to reach her" Adonai asked, grasping his friends hand and smiling to the others.
His mind opening it seethes into the familiar soul of his wife.....the feeling of ill evil and false promises of a demon spawn and the daughter of the devil himself he steels himselfs a forces outwards the venom of such evil.....fighting with every inch of his immortal being he tries an attempt to turn the evil.
~You have had everything!!! You shall NOT have her!!!!~ Adonai bellows out with his mind.....his force first finding and wrestling the devils daughter to the pits and throwing her from his mates soul.
~Harhahahharaha, You think you may contest with ME Valheru??~ A voice laughs in his mind as he rallys his will and prepares to strike.
~I will return, Half Breed~ The voice hisses and looses its hold upon Morte.
He comes out of the trance....the actions of the people around him speaking of many hours since he entered the trance state and now.....he looks down...caressing face, a single tear, the first Valheru tear shed in a mortal world, forms in his eye as the thought of the loss of his wife strikes him to the core. " My love......please.....come back to me now" He says, weaving his fingers through her almost lifeless ones as he places a kiss upon her forehead and wraps and arm around her to hold her almost
lifeless body to him.

::With tears of joy coursing freely down her cheeks Khrysta places her hands upon Morte's forehead. She can feel that the evil has fled her mind. Now she can heal her friend.::
:: She softly begins her healing chant and enters into the trancelike state necessary for empathic healing. She can feel Kys and Dae beside her, lending her strength with their love for Morte... Adonai still holding Morte's hand.::
::As she begins her healing, a soft blue glow flows from her heart to her hands, and into Morte.... filling her with warmth and light. Morte's breathing becomes the deep and regular breathing of one that is sleeping, the pain fading as her injuries heal. Slowly the blue glow fades, and Khrysta looks to her Love and her friends.::
::With a tired smile she tells them::

Adonai.... Kys.... Dae..... She will survive this and be well again. Her body was hurt, and broken by her ordeal with the evil filling her mind. Now that her mind is whole again... her body will finish the healing itself. I've healed her injuries, and given her what strength I can. Now, she needs rest, and love, to finish what I've begun.

::She gently touches Morte's hand as one last tear fills her eye. She bends to kiss her brow softly. Morte's eyelids flutter open for a brief moment, and then close again... softly.. as she slips into a gentle

::watching in awe as he always does when his wife is in her healing trance, the Daemon rises from his position bedside. His wife is finishing up, a soft glow slowly leaving her as he steps out the door.

::he pauses, in his mind, the Scimitar of Knowledge calls to him. He opens a doorway and steps into his cottage on the other side of Rhydin Town. The Scimitar sits in it's Jeweled Scabbard where he left it. He reaches for it, slightly upset at having come home without his love.

"Daemon, my son" ::a voice in his mind speaks::
"Yes father?" ::grabbing the hilt of the blade, now understanding its calling::

::an image washed over him. Himself and another, in the throws of passion. A star filled sky over head. Then another image, fuzzy and out of focus. An unborn child, its eyes open, and through the haze Daemon sees a pair of red eyes piercing into his very soul.::No!!! it cannot be, he screams.

::through the haze, another message comes to the albino. Deep and throaty laughing evilly::

Iuz speaks "A hunnerd years is suddenly not such a along time for me to wait. . .Mortal"

::A mix of emotions flood the Daemon. Joy, he has sired a child. Fear, Iuz awaits. Apathy, his wife will die when the next of his line is born. He walks off in search of a shoulder to cry on.::
