*turns abruptly to face them*

He will not follow you there; he cannot go to a place with too much water in physical form. That is why he didn't kill us all outright at that pool; at Oane he couldn't touch us

*she turns away again*

*Lumien smiles.*

Makes me feel better.

He can only touch us if we enter death while we are there....

*she touches the stump of her arm thoughtfully and falls silent*

And we won't.

Right?

*Syian doesn't answer or even look back, she is lost in memory*

Damn there goes my idea of trapping him in the realm of death, mind you there are 3 necromancers, 4 if you include my guest to fight against him

*Sighs*

This is my idea, tell me what you think Syian, while I was travelling in the realm with Lord Craxus we came across a man caged in the realm of death he was alive and unaged, can we do the same with your father, cage him in death and leave him to rot, or is there any way of killing him, his sword is his power and his lust for women is his weakness we need to use these against him

*Seeing Syian is not ready to respond, decides to add his *

I doubt it. He is a seriously poweful necromancer, and any one of the brown cloak is strengthened in deadside. He would probably escape. I sense he has the power to escape most any trap.

What troubles me most is that he is still alive. What he did to Syian...even the gods cannot escape punishment for such an act. Osiris died twice, and Uranus and Kronos were both dethroned by their sons. And they were all nowehre near as serious as this... *Takes a deep breath, then looks troubled.* Even Lucifer himself could not sustain a pact of power that long...

Do you agree that that sword is the base of his power, I am completely out of my depth here, if we can destroy the sword can we weaken him enough to kill him, I don't fancy being the next on his seduction list

*Lumien isn't exactly paying attention to the others. She is walking beside Syian, giving her support when necessary, although it looks like she may soon need some herself.*

When we get to my house I will call Craxus to help us

*Puts her arm around Luniem*

You're ok now, Syian says he can't be near water so we will be safe in Oane, we won't leave until he is dead, I know the memories won't die, but we will help you get through it

*Slips her arm through Syian's*

we'll be there for both of you

*Leans her head on Shaylar's shoulder.*

I miss Wolf.

I know you do, but he must do his own thing, it's part of him, he was born a lycanthrop unlike Lycan and the other thing, it can't be easy,

*Smiles*

Do you love him

I... I think I do.

I feel wonderful when I'm around him, and when I'm not, I've never missed anyone so deeply.

I think he tried to come after me...

I haven't seen Wolf for ages, I think he and Thurin had family business to sort out and you know as well as I do Family business and the Guild don't mix well, he'll be back when this business with the king is sorted out

No, that's not it- he followed us through death, but Nick sealed him out before he could do anything to help me.

I swear it was him!

As soon as Nick is dead we will look for him, the only way we can do that is get rid of Nick

I'm worried about him.

Fate has dealt our Wolf a bad hand but he's a survivor, he'll be back

*'s Lumien> then sighs feeling unexpectedly sorry for herself*

*In the brush a fellow magician and his companion arrive.*

*Drogheda scans the clearing.*
