Jazaf sheds his metal frame and begins to watch the fight between Sir Luc and the Great Project. The two soon become so entangled it is difficult to tell where the Great Project ends and Sir Lucretia begins. "Hmmm. Looks like the Great Project is still incomplete. Sir Luc has a chance of winning." A large rock lands at Jazaf's feet slightly startled he looks towards the Castle and sees SR waving his arms.
Quote:
"To me! hero's to me! There are people still trapped in the towers. Come help! More lives to save! Help!" Yells SR.
Wisp was halfway back to the Castle before SR finished. "Deuce! Care to give me a lift?"
"No problem Sensei!"
Quote:
While standing on the battlefield, Jazaf hears a whisper in his ear, though nobody is there. If they are near enough, Wisp or Deuce might hear it, too.
"Jazaf, I had to see you, even though it is against my orders. Tell me, why did you leave us, so many years ago?"
"Alatariel?" Jazaf manages to say before Deuce swoops down and scoops him up.
"You say something just now?"
"Uhh.. no" Jazaf replies a little distracted
Deuce drops off Jazaf on the eastern castle wall while she heads to a nearby parapet to give some much needed assitance to an endangered castle guard.
"Why, why did you leave?" Jazaf hears the whisper again.
"Because we lost sight of why we became Immortal in the first place. We wanted to unify, bring the people together. In the end their defiance brought out the worst in us. We should never have forced our will onto them like that."
Tears form in Jazaf's eyes as he remembers the people that were slaughtered to 'be an example' for the others that did not wnat to obey the Immortals. A nearby Orc interrupted Jazaf's thoughts with a loud warcry. Jazaf brought up his Katana and cleared his section of the east wall. Jazaf put away his katana in time to hear the cheers of survivors and some startling discoveries.
"Magnus has disappeared!"
"Karg is gone as well!"
"What's going on? Where are they!"
"Why....did you leave..me?" came Alatariel's whisper. Jazaf hung his head in shame.
"For that I have no answer."
"Then you can ponder that with us for eternity!"
Before Jazaf knew it he was within the Keep of the Immortals.
"Welcome home, Jazaf" Arinda chuckled clearly pleased with Jazaf's look of despair.

On Zanzibar in the castle of Immortals:
Arinda approaches Jazaf, eyes closed as always, but with many magic silver eyes floating about her. "Good job, Alatariel." She scoffs at those Immortals Alatariel recovered, each still held in Wards Major. "Allow those fools their discomfort, so they might contemplate their future actions. We will break them free in time."
"But you, Jazaf! You are a prize! What have you to say for yourself?"
At Arinda's side is Adelle the Burner, eyes fixed upon Jazaf and a fireball already in hand.

Just a bit earlier:
They are distracted by the arrival of the Great Project before Wisp can fully comprehend what Sir Luc was trying to say.
As she turns to face the new threat, Wisp makes his way back to the Keep.
‘Oh she’d definitely need more serum to face this beast.’ Sir Luc closes her eyes and taps Kei’s power again. She “calls” Wisp to her.
In mid stride to the Keep Wisp pauses, a sudden yearning overcomes him. Sir Luc needed him to get more serum and that became his sole purpose. Making his way through the rubble, he fills a syringe from his vat, remarkably intact, and makes his way back to the wall. Once there he holds the syringe above his head and lets go. It sails out of hand and streaks across the battlefield towards Sir Luc.
S.R. and Jazaf give him funny looks. Wisp shakes his head to clear the cobwebs.
On the field, Sir Luc snaps her eyes open. ‘Does Kei realize the full extent of his talent? No wonder the vapid maidens flock around him.’ The syringe impales the back of her neck and instead of cringing, she sighs as the fluid courses through her veins like quicksilver.
Her eyes go blue and she rubs her hands together. All around, people’s hair stands on end as the very air seems to become electrically charged. A colossal bolt of lightening pounds the Great Project into a small crater.
The triumphant smile slowly drains off Sir Luc’s face as the G.P. steps out of the crater and rushes towards her. The two meet with a resounding crash.

Mai, check the fridge!
But don't drink the bottle with the blue lid. That's not cow milk.

On Zanzibar in the castle of Immortals:
Krysta screamed and yelled and threw her self around but to no avail, her outward appearance showed no signs of the inner turmoil. Instead she stood quietly, absorbing the all of the conversation; after all, her master, the Empress Lucretia, counted on her.
On the Keep wall:
Sir Kei finally grinned at S.R. “You must show me sometime how to make that.” He then turned his attention to clearing the rubble of the fallen tower, hoping to find Sir Wil and the others alive. They would need all the remaining Knights as well as their new off-world friends to face this new challenge. As strong and as big as he was, he wasn’t super human and the battle was wearing even him out.
He cast a worried look towards Sir Luc.
Sir Morgana paused before setting out to collect the immortals. The worried look on Sir Kei’s annoyingly cheerful face troubled her.

SR labor side by side with Sir Kei and he speaks "I fear Sir Kei I can not show you the making of the sauce for it's a secret known only to members of my immediate family. I am honor bound to keep its secret safe." SR feels his final reserves wane. "Excuse me if you would." SR turns toward Snarky, "Snarky if you would be so very kind and carry on in my stead." SR steps aside several paces to a relatively clear area, sits down into a lotus position and closes his eyes.

Hmmm... maybe I'll have juice instead.
If you have time bring baby Sera by the park later. She can see snow for the first time and watch the penguins! Or if you are super busy I wouldn't mind watching for you?
Oh and before I forget... here's a little something for Miss Sera. *hands Serenity a small silver ornament with pink glittery writing. It reads: "Happy 1st Christmas, Sera, little angel of the SereniTree"

Oh, Mai! That is the cutest thing ever!
Thanks!
*hugs*
And, I'd love to bring Sera to see snow. Let me go get her changed into her little snow suit (baby outfits are so fun!)
Oh, and I have to make a stop first. Tell you what? I'll meet you over there in an hour.
*Serenity heads back to her apartment, little Sera in tow.*
Hey Soul. Look what Mai gave Sera! Isn't it the cutest thing ever?
And, speaking of gifts, this is for you!
*She pulls out a large package from the back of the closet where it was hiding.*
Happy birthday!!!
