Adonai was, for lack of a better word, wroth.
Betrayed, turned on and slandered.....he ripped open a rift in time and strode onto the plains of Ezogaer......to, for once, settle this charade, once and for all.
He pounded up the cobblestone road...heading unto the great door of the Stronghold...a angry light in his eyes as he growled low under his breath and wished for the blade * Belief * at his side.
" Who approaches!!! " A guard called out...his voice shrill in the night air.
" The Lord of Ezogaer approaches man...do you not know me? " Adonai called back.....his brow furrowing.
" The Lord of this land does sleep with his thumb in his mouth imposter...tell me another jape and amuse me. "
Adonai growled, and clenched his will, pulling the man from the parapet and hanging him in the cold night air.
" I am Adonai Uziel, Duke of Ezogaer, and Lord of the Valheru, mock me not mortal...for my temper is short. "
The man spluttered and gesticulated and the door of the Stronghold opened, Maleoch looking out with a half unbelieveing grin on his face.
" I had thought I had felt you My Lord.......it seems even death cannot stop you. " Maleoch grinned and walked over...looking up to the guard Adonai still held in the air.
"Do you plan to keep him there My Lord Adonai?" Maleoch said..pointing to the guard.
Adonai released his will, the guard falling the 20 feet to the ground with a loud thump.
"No...I guess not.....I am glad you remember me my brother...even my wife has turned on me."
" I my brother, could never mistake the presence of the First....the Valheru stand ready my lord......the land is yours once more....and none can say different." Maleoch said with a fanatical smile.
Adonai shook his head, confusing Maleoch as he strode into the Stronghold and looked around.
"Things are not as they once were my brother. " Adonai said...looking to Maleoch and sighing. " There is a great storm to the West.....one I think we should at this time avoid....wake my son....My children, my brothers and my people...we are moving."
Maleoch blanched...wondering what could be wrong...but hurried into the great hall to wake Agravain from his slumber.
" What in the name of Hebrial could he be doing now? " Maleoch muttered to himself and pounded down the hallway....wondering idly where his lord planned to take them.

::Morte looks up from her chair in their bedroom at House Oakenshield, a shiver runnin down her spine. She drops her book and runs ta the nursery where Lainy and Aggy are doin their lessons. She hears Lainy say "Papa?" and look around the room, but her eyes are drawn ta Aggy. He sits, stiff with pain and rage, a single scream torn from his boyish throat. Morte runs ta him, her arms enfoldin him as the word echos off the stone walls. ::

::Morte raises a hand to her head, the bump on her skull already swellin and tacky with her blood. She could feel the change quickly o'ertakin her body. As she stood to face the other four men, her skin had become golden and her eyes glowed dark blood red. She could see the horror on the faces o' the men. Morte drew her blade *Death*, and let the power fill her being completely. She dispatched the first quickly with a thrust to his gutand a kick to the groin. She looked dispassionately at the other three. "COWARDS!!!!!! Come on ta lot of ya. Oh aye, yer verra good at stealin babies, now we be seein what ya do again' someone that knows how ta fight!" All three o' the men approached her warily, but as they surrounded her, she knew that she'd nae have much time before she was o'erwhelmed. In her mind she called out "Goddess, help me. If ever I needed ya help, I need it now" And then she had nae more thoughts but to stay alive. Neither the men or Morte saw Aislain slip out the door in a flash o' pink sparkles.::

::quietly sits in the Oakenshield Manor going over her French lessons. A small pink tongue darts out of her mouth as she tries to conjegate, finding it much more difficult then a simple parry papa Morgan just taught her this morning. Her soft pink lips mouth the words she is writing::Avec Moi?::Her liquid black eyes look sharply to the window as a cloud passes over the winter sky blocking the sun. Her small heart flutters in her breast, beating against her ribs like a moth fighting the flame::Papa?((This is a repost so it is a bit out of order, my apologies)) "Avec Moi" The words of her French lesson faded from her sight as she uttered the question, "Papa?" The room dissolves around her as she looks up into the face of the proud large man looming inside her mind. Far off, in another world someone shouts 'No." Aggy? She pulls away as if to run to her twin, but the big man reaches out to her. "Papa, you came back for us?" Aislain ran to him and he scooped her up into a tight embrace. "Aye wee one, my father sent me back." "Grandpa?" The thin lips twist into a half smile as he reaches into her face and pulls the long dark red curls away from her eyes, "You could say that wee one. There is unfinished business to be attended to." Aislain giggles, delighted by the attention. "I will help Papa. I am Queen of the Pirates, Aggy and me with Randy and Brian and everyone. We are here for you! Marme doesn't need me anymore, she and Da Badger are growing another little girl inside her belly." Aislain bites her lip as her voice drops into a whisper, "Can I tell you a secret Papa?" The dark blue eyes become indulgent as he gently rocks her, "Of course my wee one. You can tell Papa anything." The child tilts up her mouth to his ear, whispering as soft as a thought, "I named my sister 'Ugly-baby Go-away.' " Dark rich laughter surrounds them, "Wee one, that is dreadful. I am sure Marme and your new little sister will love you. Just as I do." The child giggles, pleased by his laughter, "Am I the bestest prettiest daughter?" "You are my only daughter. Come to me wee one, I will always love you. You and Aggy are my dearest children. But I may need help with Aggy..." Eager to please the child gushes as she plays with his long black sleeve, "Aggy loves you Papa. Let me talk to him, I know he loves you we will be Pirates and help you get back our land from the mean old nasty Garrison Commander." "Aye wee one, and your Papa will always protect you." Adonai murmurs reassuringly into her ear and then releases her back to her body no longer in the nursery where Marme's blood stains the pink roses on the nursery carpet, but in her own room were she quickly packs and then crawls out the window leaving a note on her pillow.Marme and Da and Aggy,I love you. I love you very very much. I am going to Papa Adonai to be his bestest daughter. Do not worry, I have clean underwear and Bump. Please take care of my baby snails - Luth, Adeena, Ziandra, Kappie, Lola, and Alais. They need to eat every day.Tell Aggy to not play with my ship that Captain Morgan gave me. It's mine and I will be very cross if he sinks it. I love you. Do not worry, I have my cloak and Rainbow will take me to Papa.I love you,Grosses Bises,Aislain.

::Morte sits on Aislain's small bed in the twins bedroom at House Oakenshield. Her head is down and a tear falls on a paper in her hands. It is a note from Lainy tellin her that she has gone ta be with Adonai. Somehow he had managed to kidnap Aggy and mindspeak to Lainy. Morte frowned. He had enticed Lainy away, he had stolen the two precious jewels that Morte loved. "Aye," Morte muttered to herself," there'll be hell ta pay."::

:: Aggy felt a sudden pain in his head, a total blackness enveloped his mind. A booming voice roared in his head and then he felt Marme's arm surround him as he heard someone screamin "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!". As the pain and darkness eased, Aggy realized that it had been his voice echoin through the room. Marme looked into his eyes, the relief breaking upon her face. She whispered, " He be back, eh?". Aggy could only nod, his eyes widening as men inthe livery of Ezogaer broke into the room. Marme stood up in front of 'Slain and him. "What ye be meain, breakin inta this House?". The men looked at her menacingly and the dark one growled " We want the boy". Morte drew her blade, her face set and replied softly " ye'll nae have him". With a nod of his head, the dark soldier directed the other men. The men surounded Marme and a tall burly one drew a dirk from his boot and tapped his Marme on herhead. She fell to the ground in a heap, and the men grabbed him.They had torn Aggy from Marme's arms, these men who were wearin HIS livery. Aggy screamed at them to let him go, but the dark one cuffed him hard to his head. He could still hear his Marme's scream "Cowards!" as they mounted him on a dark horse and led him off into the night. Aggy was dazed and tired when the ride stopped at Adonai's stronghold. He was roughly handed down and dragged into the Great Hall. His father's General Maleoch looked him in the eye and said. "I have felt the return of the first to the land, and I have brought you here to face him." Aggy tried to look courageous, but his heart pounded in his chest. Abruptly, Maleoch turned and left Aggy standing there, surrounded by guards. In Aggy's heart, healready had felt the sharp pain of his Father's reappearance, he knew already the choice that would be asked of him. And so Aggy did the only thing he could, to avert disaster. In his mind he called out to the two strong safe beacons of light. His psonic voice called out to Morgan and Badger : " Morgan, come quickly! Da' ..I need you! ::
