She is looking outside and Tray was talking to her. Very was really thinking about all he had been through, but then by the glass she noticed his eyes were weird, she sighs and rolls her eyes , she turns away to him and walks closer, his voice was different, as someone else was there and not Tray...she gives some steps back .."Are you doing that magic thing again? Tray, It's not funny." She knows somehow he wasn't going to do that, some more steps away as her back touches the glass...she blinks and her face was very pale and her lips had no color anymore...shaking she tries to speak.."Tr...Tray? is not funny.." she thinks about the words he is saying , 'burn this one, this one world, I'm not greedy' what was going on? She looks around and tries to scream but she can't, she then blinks and since she was always doing stupid things she approches of Tray wondering if he is losing control as he said he would do , still she needed to try..."Tray"...she gets closer, "Please, return? who are you? What are you saying? please, bring Tray back" her tone was low and husky by fear, and then even being afraid she touches Tray hand, grabbing it..."Tray...Talk to me..." and as a reflex the other one touches his face.."Tray, stop doing this, return, everything is fine, it's me your Veronika who's asking.." Her eyes, were now dark green, full of fear, but still she was trying to send, whoever it was, away from him, even she wants to avoid those eyes, her eyes was deeply inside Tray's ones.

Tracius shuddered as though in the grip of fever, sweat actually breaking out over his body. His eyes closed as Very touched him, the tension in his body leaving so suddenly that he dropped to his knees, his hands clutching at Very's arms and pulling her down with him. The light from the scrying bowl went out as all of his energy and control fled. "Wh...what?" he stammered, still shivering. He opened his eyes, their normal color returned, though fear now filled them. He wasn't aware of what it was he'd said before, not now that the evil of the Taint had submerged again, driven down by the love expressed by Very.
He looked at her, pain pushing its way into his eyes as he looked upon the terror written on her face. "I'm sorry," he said softly as he pulled her into an embrace, one so tight that it seemed as though he might be thinking to squeeze away the fear in them both. "I don't know what happened...One moment, I was trying to explain just what I was afraid of. The next, it was as though I were locked inside of a dark room, chained and gagged, but I could hear an evil whispering just outside of my ability to hear what was being said, though I could tell that it was of dark and horrible things. I'm afraid that time may be short..."

Everything was so fast she couldn't think, and then they were on the floor, his eyes were back to normal, his face and his voice were back again, she was now so confuse she couldn't speak, her entire body was shaking, his arms around her was all she needed, seemed like her touch brought him back, she was not really sure. As well she holds him, her little hands pulling him closer enough as he was her armor, covering her body and protecting her, closing her eyes, she sends him thoughts about what happened , since he is able to read her mind Tray was watching it as a movie in her mind, the way she approched Tray, after all those things that 'man' had said , her thouch and her eyes locked inside his. All she was able to say was.."Tray, please, I know it is not right but can I stay with you here tonight? I don't want to sleep alone...it was terrible..." she holds him even more close but this time something had change inside her and this time she wasn't crying, seems Very starts to grow up.

Tracius kept her hugged tightly to him for a few moments, then gently disengaged. "No, beloved Veronika. At least, not yet." With a small, tired smile, he indicated the now dark and blank bowl of water. "Remember? We have company coming. I think I will ask if you would go and meet her at the door. Dazzle her, while I regain my strength and recover my equilibrium. If she wishes refreshment, you know which of the servants will be able to accommodate her needs."
With that, he stood, strong arms helping her to rise as well. He buried his reactions and fear of what had happened behind his smile. He wished to protect her from even more horrors. He had caught her thoughts of what he'd said and done, and didn't want to have his mind filled with them when he faced Morrigan. He also did not wish to dwell upon the flashes of images that had entered his mind, afraid that to do so would drive him mad...

Very was sore, but she wasn't going to refuse his request, she stands as he helps her and smiles gently, somehow also hiding from him her fears, she was not able to hide a thing from him, but she wasn't going to make him worried even more. She nods, "Alright Tray, I will meet the woman downstairs" she smiles and gently caresses his arm , a rub with her fingertips.."See you soon then" she watches him for a brief moment and turns away leaving his room, as she closes the door after her she sighs and slowly walks downstairs, the night was warm , her mind was full of thoughts, she stops for a moment, sighs deeply , pulls her hair away from her face using both hands as she was trying to send those thoughts away, slowly she approches of the door and opens it, no one was there yet and gently Veronika walks outside, " MyLady Morrigan, you are welcome in our house, I am Veronika, the youngest sister, please make yourself at home, my brothers will be here soon.." she smiles gently to nothing or nowhere since she is not able to see Morrigan, and she waits for her.

(Hart Sunain)
The conversation he intended on having with Malachi was cut short momentarily. He had taken notice to the person approaching. He mentioned going for Savance and using this as a chance to train. "My friend, I will need your wisdom in the coming times. But for now, I hope you understand I mean no disrespect but to decline his involvement. My family has had a trying enough evening. Veronika had a horrible event by herself, and everyone has suffered horrible news of Tracius. Tonight, I will find the strength to keep going... if only to give them time to deal. We are all hoping nothing happens, but everyone is processing that this could mean one day he might be gone. Give them tonight, tomorrow we'll begin to work with them." He then turned in the direction where he knew the intruder to be waiting. "If I need it however, feel free to back me up still of course." He said with a soft laugh.
With that he walked quietly in that direction. After coming to the clearing in the path, he saw the lady clearly. But she was not the one he was picking up on. He then glanced in directions of the woods she was also gazing into. Putting his hand on the hilt of his own blade, he threw up a smirk to her. Knowing full well she'd see it clear as day. "Well, Madam." He said softly and with a slight nod towards her. "A pleasure to see you again Lady Darkheart." While he gazed back into the woods, he respected Morrigan vastly. He showed it in two obvious ways, to address her respectfully... But to also know she's a killer like himself, and while her hand is on her blade you at least keep her in your sights.

Very blinks and folds her arms, the night had already come and she frowns slightly trying to watch through it,she blinks as someone was moving to the woods, she sighs in relieve seeing it was Hart. She smiles slightly as she observes him, he was already there, of course she was some seconds late, since Tray and her were having that weird conversation in his room. She moves to the side as she leans against the doorway, watching her brother, her thoughts thou were far away from there, thinking about Tray, thinking about the kiss, the way he reacted, the way he had changed, his voice, shivers as she feels her emotions really mixed right now, staring at Hart's moviments she blinks, she was not able to hear it clearly, she lifts her face a little bit trying to see Lady Darkheart , but she couldn't, she sighs and waits for her to show herself, is the most wise thing to do, she was considering follow Hart, but since all she does ends with her in trouble she thinks would be better to remain there and wait. She observes the night, a slightly breeze touching her face. Her eyes moves over Hart's hand as he touches the hilt, she needs to be ready if something goes wrong, she wonders what that woman was doing her, for good she was only bringing some news. Very's eyes glued on Hart don't move an inch as she waits for the others to join them and receive the new guest.

Malachi, after Hart had left, slipped back into the Keep. Despite what the Sunain had said, the Embosse Knight was determined to not allow any potential threat be anywhere near the family, not if he could help it. He dipped his mind into his storehouse of magical knowledge, dredging up a spell he thought would be useful. He cast Shadow Walk upon himself.
As the effect of the magic took hold, his body became slightly darkened, as though turning somewhat into a shadow himself. He stepped into the shadow cast by the curtain, disappearing from sight.
In the forest, within hearing range of the intruder, he stepped out from the shadow of a tree cast by the light of the stars and moon. Silently, he settled down to listen as Hart approached, his own hands upon the hilts of his blades. He waited, listening as Hart called out the name: "Lady Darkheart". He knew the name as well, remembering her and her family to be allies of the Sunain...but even allies could be a danger. He wasn't taking any chances...

Tracius turned away from the window he'd been standing at for the past several minutes, waiting for the arrival of his guest. Some....indefinable something was somehow silently calling to him. His brow furrowed over his green eyes as he concentrated on the tugging at the deepest core of his being. Something, somewhere, was happening, and there was something that he had to do.
A few minutes later, a seemingly dazed Tracius came down the stairway, dressed for travel. A human servant bowed deferentially as the elvish assassin passed, then stiffened and fell to the tiled floor. Foam splattered out of the man's lips as his muscles clenched and caused his entire body to shake. A second later, the human's muscles tightened so much that his back arched until the back of his head met his heels. A rattling breath was then heard as the man expired from the Amphisbaena venom coursing through his body, ravaging it. The breath was the only noise he'd made as he died.
Tracius, in the meantime, had simply swept past and out the door, heading to the stables. Moments later, he emerged on the back of one of his horses, the faint glow of an enchantment surrounding the beast. He paused near the door to the Keep, eyes that were now glowing with red irises and yellow pupils, the sclera turned black instead of white. A look of disgust curled his lip as he muttered, "Filthy talking monkey."
He then spurred his mount cruelly, sending it galloping into the darkness far faster than any normal horse could ever hope to equal.

Malachi turned away from the presence as he sensed the working of magic back at the Keep. He narrowed his amber eyes, certain that something was wrong, especially once he heard the sound of hoofbeats galloping away.
He cursed under his breath, then uttered the syllables of his own earlier spell, becoming as insubstantial as a shadow again, slipping back into the shadow of the tree next to him. Reappearing in the shadow of a column inside the Keep, he became solid again, stepping out into the foyer where he could see the slumped corpse of the servant. Kneeling next to the man, he ran a critical eye over the man's symptoms, then rose to his feet. "Damn," he muttered. "Again...and the others have not had time yet to train!"
He glanced out of the open door, tempted to follow Tracius...for it was almost certain that he was the cause of the disturbance; after all, the Sunain leader was the only one he knew of to use the type of poison involved with the footman's murder...but realized that numbers would likely be needed. So, he decided to wait for the other Clan members to arrive, knowing they, too, would sense something amiss.

(Hart)
Hart's ears twitched back, he felt the disturbance back in the manor. Sprinting back inside, he came to Malachi and the dead man... "What.... was this Tracius?!" He then shouted out into the manor...."Very!! Where are you!" He worried that in his time outside, what if others had died. Looking back to Malachi "Has he finally slipped? Was that him riding off?"

Very was looking outside and everything was so fast, Tracius leaving the house, as he moves to the stables she looks at Him, and calls..."Tray!" he didn't stop, something was really wrong, why was he walking so fast to the stables, she runs as fast as she can but he leaves in a hurry, almost his horse hits her, she jumps away and falls down,"Tray!!!", she takes her breath, she calls for Hart as she hears him .."I am here close to the stables, " she stands and runs over to the house again, she stops in front of the mannor "What is going on?" She looks into the darkness wondering, almost crying she walks inside the house..."where did he go?" She stops and cover her mouth with both hands..."Oh no..." the servant was on the floor, she was petrified, stubborns tears..."Who did this? What...Hart?! did he kill him?...Where did he go?" she moves over to Hart and Malachi...her hand rests on the wall, almost falling down as she feels dizzy..."Oh my...what are we going to do now?" Slowly she goes down on her knees as she watches the dead servant lying there...feeling sick..she tries to connect her thoughts with Tray.."Please Brother, my love, what are you doing?...please we need you, return...please my love..." she looks at Hart and shakes her head slowly..knowing already the black side was in charge now...and she wasn't there to try to take it away once again...she didn't have time to train...what are they going to do now?

Tracius cruelly spurred his horse to faster and faster speeds, heedless of the foamy lather the beast worked up with its sweat. After all, it was just an animal, and he had a long distance to travel. He wasn't consciously aware of it, but his destination lay across many hundreds of miles of land, and across a narrow channel of the sea.
Still, subconscious awareness or no, he knew that he had to speed up his passage somehow. The dark urges that had taken control over him drove him onward through the forest that surrounded the Keep, nearly outstripping the wind in speed. Yet, still, it wasn't fast enough.
The Taint looked deep inside of the mind of the man it had possessed, filtering through the knowledge it contained. Delighted at what it found, it directed the body to begin a series of gestures and mutterings. A hand flung forth the magic power it had gathered, the energy seeming to tear open a hole before the rider. On the other side of the hole, a different landscape could be seen: different trees were growing, the stars were in slightly different patterns, even the clouds were different. He rode through the dimensional gate, leaving behind any chance of pursuit as the portal closed....

Malachi looked from one Sunain to the other, amber eyes flashing at the dark thoughts running through his head. "It seems the Taint has fully manifested at a very inconvenient time," he finally said at length. "We have not yet had time to undertake the training I had in mind. We must come to a decision of how we're going to deal with this. Do we follow, possibly...probably...facing the leader of the Clan underprepared. Or, do we wait and hope, pray even, for intervention of some savior, all the while lamenting the dark deeds the Taint will surely force our beloved brother to perform?"
He moved to the doorway, looking out at the stars twinkling in the sky above, the dark clouds that had been gathering now clearing and moving strangely to the west, against the wind. His eyes glittered once more as he contemplated this event. An omen? he wondered to himself. "Either way you decide," he said after a moment of reflection, "I will respect your choice. As for me, I will do whatever I can to bring Tracius back to his family."

Veronika slowly stands as she watches Malachi talking to them, she moves as he does and follows him but without getting to close, she looks at Hart and then back over to Malachi. "I am honestly don't know, but I will also do whatever it takes to bring him back, so I will let you guys to decide what is best for us to do right now, tell me and I'll do it." she walks over to the doorway as well as she looks up and then back to Malachi.."I have no idea what I must do now, I am completly lost, I am not able to feel him or even know what do but I am in no matter what.." she smiles slightly.."I want him to comeback for us as well". she looks then at Hart and wait their decision.
