"I'm going to assume you had that under control before I got here," Audemar spoke, "I just wanted to help, I haven't used my power in a long time." The sorcerer of pale complexion looked at Will, "I'm sorry for any inconvenience I gave to your pride."

Will nodded to the sorcerer before using his Earth magic to raise the pit and trap him in stone. He brought him up to his face and held his sword under his throat. "Speak one more word about them and I'll slit your throat open and skin your corpse and leave you for the crows and bears to eat what's left, If there's any." Will said, now furious as the opening to the cave was opened again.

"Killing him would be my pleasure," Audemar said looking to Will, "but why do that when we can send a message?" The sorcerer looked around as the wind shook the trees, "Are there more of us around here?"

Will saw him passed out and sighed, sheathing his sword. He left him in the same position he brought him up on and Told the man to get something ready as he went to find the Prince. He came across the horse who had died and then the Prince. He walked over to him and released him from his bindings. "How do you always get yourself in trouble?"

Audemar held what looked like a black orb in his hand and raised a brow at the prince as he was waiting for Will's next action. The wind gave a chilling whistle as it weaved through the trees. "A shame," Audemar said after a light sigh, "but effective."

Will chuckled and put the knife he used to cut him free. "Now come on. You know me, I'm to stubborn to stay down or out of trouble long enough. And besides, me and my friends have plans to Deal with this whole situation." He said to him as he patted his shoulder. "And besides, I have people to protect now."

Will sighed and looked at him. "Well, you're captor is currently bound up and unconscious, so for now at least, rest up and join me. After a while, we'll get a plan together and figure out what we're going to do." Will said, grabbing his shoulder and leading him back to the cave.

Audemar kept the orb in his hand, "Are there non magical beings near here?" The older man asked once more, "I'd like nothing more to be with my own kind." Audemar looked at the younger men in front of him and decided to keep more of his own story to himself.

Will sighed and shook his head. "No I will not. I lost everything the day the new king took over, so honor is not something I'm concerned with for now. We'll get Taff and everyone locked in the castle dungeon out of there and end this madness. If you have faith in me, come with me and we'll make a plan." Will told him.

"Well it's a good thing we didn't kill him," Audemar spoke, "no matter how close I was to doing so. We can send a message or let the vermin free and let him tell the king so he can send the soldiers to try and kill all of us." He paused, "You must trust me when I say the king may not be too keen to see me."

Will sighed at his ignorance, something he may have caught from him. He shook his head. "After what he did to Emily and Eli is unacceptable. He may be your father, but I will kill him for what he did to me. And I can't shape shift as I did before." Will told him. "And I told you, I have people to protect. I can sneak in and cloak myself to find you if I can, but I can't promise that anymore." Will said to him before walking over to GlenDale.

It was evident Will was furious at speaking about Emily and Eli as he walked back over to Merthyr. "After hanging most of my men for "treason", He went to my home, broke in, and slit their throats open and left them hanging outside like banners. Eli was only six years old Merthyr, Six! And it doesn't matter who I'm protecting, all that matters is that they're not harmed ore than they already are." He said with such aggression which he had only shown him once, Years ago.

Audemar looked behind him and looked down at Glendale, "You deserve to die." He turned away from Glendale, "Your king doesn't deserve a swift death."

Will turned and threw his sword to the ground, something he never did before, and walked over to Glendale, pulling a knife from his belt and standing straight in front of Glendale, his eyes glowing red and his pupil slited like a snakes. "You're treading on thin ice boy. All you do is take advantage of the poor and weak and sell them as slaves. You only prolong the invevitable for some, but keep it up and I'll show you why they called me the devil's right hand." Will told him

Will took his knife and stabbed Glendale on the side, purposely missing his organ and anything important, just to where he would be in pain. "You blame us for everything, but both sides kill. But it doesn't justify burning villages full of woman and childeren and selling the survivors off to the highest buyer." Will said to him.

Will then ripped the knife out and released him after healing his wounds.

"You know not of the things I've done," Audemar explained to Glendale, "I've lived in this soil long enough to know there are evil on both sides, you are a fool to think that bringing justice isn't a right to all."

Will shook his head, still furious. He needed to calm down before anything. He saw Glendale and Merthyr walking off and sighed, giving up. He walked over to his sword and picked it up, sheathing it before walking back into the cave, motioning Audemar to follow as he sat on the rock he was on before.

Ravens eyes widened as the succubus had mentioned how bad her head wound really was. She was truly lucky to even be alive then. But what she wasn't expecting was that when lilim had finished, she kissed raven on the lips. Quite passionately to say the least. Her face turned 20 different shades of red before lilim broke it. She just stared at lilim shocked, before nodding, unable to really comprehend what just happened.

"O-ok.."

She says before she tried to walk over, only to stumble as she was weak in the knees. The other witch quickly grabs Raven and hoists her up, slinging an arm over his shoulder to walk her to the pillow. He helps her lie down, before raven closes her eyes, attempting to fall asleep.

"It would have been satisfying to drain the life from him," Audemar said, "but it seemed you are indifferent to my desire."

Lilim would be becoming restless as well as Elesa was returned to the caves by Will, but then Will left the caves and apparently went to give the magical community a bad name by killing those that attacked them. Lilim would kneel to Elesa quickly, "Elesa... You said you wanted to find a use for your Time charm, right?... Well... Now's the time. Use it. Repeat after me ok?...

What was done...
Now Undo...
Return Life to the time that's true."

Lilim chants as she moves Elesa's hand to pull the charm from her belt, holding it and both of Elesa's hands around it, "Your turn." she whispers calmly. Far too many people had died now, and Lilim was having none of it. She encouraged Elesa to use her magic for the best possible reasons, and saving lives no matter how cruel those lives were, was something Lilim had to enforce as a good reason.

Elesa would nod and focus, activating the seal and repeating after Lilim,

"Seal of time...
What was done...
Now undo...
Return life... to the time...
... ... that's true..."

The chant would see most all the time that had passed since the first bandit was struck down undone. Her magic would be enhanced by Lilim's power and reach all the way to the castle, returning life to even the witches that had been burned to ashes at the stake, and reaching now to correct the flow of time and bring those witches to join them in the Dwarven caves, a little waking up treat for when Raven was rested.

The childs magic now spent, she would fall asleep and fall into Lilims arms, and she'd move Elesa to cuddle up to Raven, trusting the source of her good will to Raven's care. Lilim was now more furious than she had ever been, and her eyes burned red as she exited the cave and moved a hand to grasp the sword of the bandit Will had cut down formerly, and crushed the blade in her bare, magically armored palm, glaring at him with those shining crimson retenas, "Scram..." she growls, the planet quaking as she spoke, showing Lilim was not and is not playing around. She'd make her way toward Will and Audemar now, her eyes still burning with rage and glowing in the pitch blackness of night.

When she got up to the sorcerer and the lizard shape shifter, she'd toss a ball to the sorcerer, letting it detonate against his chest and sending him spiraling into a thick tree, knocking the sense into him as it sapped his magic enough that he'd loose the gunk in his ears and be made to listen. Will would get a sound slap across the face that likely would have snapped his neck if he had been human, "NO MORE KILLING!!! AM I CLEAR?!!" Lilim roars to them both, demanding every ounce of respect that would come with the voice of someone of regal blood.

Lilim would grab Will by the shirt and hoist him back to his feet, looking him strait in the eyes, "Find Prince Merthyr and take him to the palace gates... You'll have to forgive me for being demanding with this... But... I am trying to prove to an innocent little girl that magical beings can be trusted!!!" she shouts right in his face. She'd charge up another orb and sink it into his body, making his whole figure glow with a soft blue hue, "Defensive Gravity Magic... You wont have to worry about being attacked while you have that enchantment on you... It'll make any that attack you fall on their face before their strikes connect. It's non-lethal and you wont have to do anything but focus on your objective... Now before that prick of a king starts burning the forest to ash, get a move on." she says as she spins him around and swats his backside hard enough to make him jump.
