Topic: Viral contamination
Subject: Ivan


Jackson watched all the goings-on with interest after he woke up from his short nap. He began to take apart, clean, and put his gun back together himself. Helped him focus. Suddenly, his cell phone began to ring.

"Hello?"

He paused and turned white.

"Wait, what are you...? How... Ok, where are you?...alright."

He hung up the phone and tucked his firearms away and did a quick check of everything else.

"Alright, guys, we've got a problem. Ivan's stuck in a grocery store down the street from here. Turns out there's a mess of zombies and some government-types who shoot first and figure out whether you're friendly or not later. We've got to get down there."

He started for the door, and then he thought of something, "Guys...the dossier said the doctor's contact in Moscow...his code name was Ivan the Terrible. Ivan's last name is Terovovich. There might just be a connection."

Edward sat down on the cool grass at watched the fire nymphs dance. Fire comforted him, and he sang along softly to the song Donald was playing.

Subject: Music!


Edward decided to join in the fun with a little trick he'd learned from a street wizard.

He pointed his fingers at the ground and little sparks grew into fire nymphs, which glowed in the twilight, they began to dance around, creating a small campfire, and they continued their dance around the fire, in time with the music.

"Care to dance, Dawn?"

Edward grinned, "You didn't miss a thing. I knew you had it in you."

Edward put his hand on Dawn's shoulder. "It's not your fault. And it'll be just fine, anyway. Don will come back. He has to."

Even through his certainty, Edward wasn't completely sure about any prophecy. He looked within himself for the light that his fire could create and began calling out to Donald with it. If there was anyway to find out where he was and call him back, the fire would show him, as it always did.

He dried Dawn's tears while the magic flowed through him. The tears evaporated at the warmth of his hands.

Seeing Dawn cut herself reminded him of his own past. The dark times, before he knew how to control his power. He'd destroy things and cut himself in his guilt. Tears and blood would mingle on the porcelain floor of his bathroom.

He walked over and touched the cut, and the fire spread from his hand to the cut, burning with a blue flame, and as it did, the cut grew smaller and smaller, eventually going away. The flame burned cooler, turning orange and red, finally fading away to nothing.

"You're not the only one who hurts. Nor the only one who can heal. Don't worry about Donald, he can handle himself. He'll be back."

Jackson ran at the sound of the woman's scream. He held her hand and tried to wake her up fully.

"Hey, hey, you ok? You must've been having quite the nightmare."

"As long as you're helping us, you're a friend, and that makes you welcome with us," Edward said. He'd never seen a werewolf, but he'd heard the stories. Ok, so he'd seen the movies, which didn't mean a whole lot.
"This is quite the place you have here. I'm a bit of a researcher myself, or trying to become one. You seem to have books of every kind here."

He He walked around and Hex jumped up on a shelf and pointed out a volume entitled, Dark Magic of Belway

"Could this be something we might need?" he asked, taking it off the shelf and blowing dust off the cover.

Jackson lit a cigarette and joined Colton in watching while Dancer slept. He was jumpy after all that had happened. He heard scuttling sounds all around that he hoped were rats. Very small, non-mutated ones after all this.

He punched Colton in the ribs with his elbow and said, "Quite the babe, huh? I guess this is our new hacker. At least she's not one of the creepies."

Subject: And my last post for the wee hours of the morning


Edward thought for a moment, "You know, it would be something to know what sort of magic we're working against. Whatever it was used Adrian as a pawn, so it's something much stronger than any of us...but all of us together...we might just stand a chance!"

Hex purred lovingly at this idea and her eyes changed color from green to red. The hunt was on.

Edward declined the herb, but lit one of his own cigarettes. It had been a long day, and he needed a smoke.

"Yes, let's regroup for a moment, and figure out exactly what the source of all this is, and how to stop it."

Topic: Witch Heart
Subject: Edward


Edward laughed, "We'll see...we'll see...magic is magic, no matter the source. I've seen some crazy stuff done with voodoo, but you're welcome to all the healing you care to do."

Hex hopped up around his neck again and glared at Dawn as if to say Pfft. Whatever.

Subject: Black magic


"I heard something snap when you fell," Edward said to Adrian. "A little New Orleans voodoo should perk you right up, couldn't hurt to add to some already powerful magic."

He removed a small vial of oil from his pocket and rubbed it across Adrian's forehead in a cross shape. He then touched it with his fingers, still burning, and the oil burned, releasing a fragrant scent into the air. After it had burned away, Edward put his hand across Adrian's forehead and mumbled something and removed his hand, leaning on his staff again.

"There, should be all better now."

Edward finally reclaimed his cat and his staff and started toward Adrian as well. He leaned heavily on his staff, completely exhausted, aftershocks of the magic that had been used still coursed through his body.

"Nice to meet a fellow fire-man. Not the best of circumstances, however."

Topic: Witch Heart
Subject: The Tower


The tower erupted with a huge flash, and Edward saw his friends falling from the sky, amazingly still alive. He gathered all this remaining strength and said to himself, God, I hope I get this right...

He raised his hands from the ground to the sky, and he whispered the magical words he struggled with so many times. A pillar of flame erupted from the ground and engulfed his friends. As it did, it formed an orb of flame around them that gently floated to the ground. His hands burned, also engulfed in flame as he guided the orb safely to earth. As it touched the ground, it dissipated, leaving the three safely on the grass below.

He collapsed, satisfied, and sitting on the cool grass, hands still sparking kisses of flame, he looked at the three and said, "Hot enough for you?"

Subject: The Master's Wrath


Edward's hands were still shaking. He'd remained in silence for some time, but he had heard every word that was spoken. He knew now that there was something amiss. The holding circle...the chapel...now his new friend's dead brother was somehow pulling strings, it seemed. This place was weird, but strangely, he felt right at home.

He stood still for a moment, remembering his mistress's teachings on how to use fire to cleanse yourself of curses. He'd burned himself many times trying to harness the power, but there was something about this place that made him feel strong.

He spoke the ancient incantations, slowly at first, then building up speed, repeating the ancient chant softly. He felt his hands tingle, starting at his fingertips, then spreading to the rest of his body. He began to glow. As the chant reached its climax, fire began pouring from his fingertips, engulfing him. He continued the chant, knowing the pain was only physical until the spell was done.

He stood hunched over, breathing heavily, steam still pouring off his skin. He vomited black bile, showing the voodoo spell of cleansing had worked. At least his voodoo was good for something.

Edward blacked out. When he came to, Donald was lying on the ground, as was Hex. "What just happened?" He looked down at his bloody knuckles... "Did I...I..." And then his Third Sight flickered into view for a split second as he saw what he'd done. Just before he had punched Donald, he'd twiched, ever so slightly, like a small siezure. He wondered what this meant. "I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me...I completely blacked out," he said, helping Donald back to his feet before attending to his familiar, who was just started to twitch back to conciousness.

Subject: The Courtyard


Edward looked around at the Courtyard, and was happy to see seemingly normal, happy people around. Granted, he could feel the magic in the air like high humidity, but still. Hex curled her tail around his neck to keep him warm from the cool air, and he rubbed her head, careful to avoid pulling on the ruby earring she wore.

He realized as they were walking that he'd started singing too, an old, familiar song that his mistress had taught him. He sang soft and low to himself and to Hex, and she purred.

Subject: Awkward moment


"Sooooo," Edward said, recoving from his amazement, "What are we standing around here for? We've got places to go! People to see!"

Hex looked at him skeptically. She didn't see the need for his amazement. Cats, you see, already have the Third Sight.

Subject: Edward


Edward stared at his hand for a moment, sparks flicking from his fingertips, then fading away to nothing, until there was no more.

"My mistress used to call it the Third Sight. First sight is what you see with your eyes, second sight is seeing the past or the future. Third sight is seeing the present for what it really is. I saw you without your magic...you're really quite beautiful, if you don't mind my saying so."

He paused, "It's how I knew I had a gift...I'm a sensitive, I can feel magic...but I've never felt anything like that...your power is amazing."

Just then, they passed under a rotunda with a giant circle etched on the floor with crystals inlaid into it.

"A holding circle? I've never seen one this big," he waved his hand over the edge and sparks flew from his fingertips again, "or so powerful."

Subject: Just then...


Edward touched her hands to remove Dawn's hands from her face, but as he did so, magic coursed through him and his eyes opened anew, and without her magic, she was still very attractive, though he could clearly see she didn't think so. She glowed with an aura that suggested much power, greater even than she knew. He withdrew his hand as only the smallest of instances had passed.

"Woah...so that's what the Third Sight is..."

Posted on 2009-04-27 at 04:06:19.

Topic: Witch Heart
Subject: With that


With that, Edward started to let his mind wander to what Dawn would look like without the magic. He tried to use his Third Sight that his mistress had told him about, but he still wasn't powerful enough. Rats, he thought, maybe later.

"Magic or no, you are very pretty," Edward said, "And I don't know about being a celebrity, I've always been the shy one. I don't quite know what to make of this place yet."

He laughed at Donald. It was good to be in company that shared a bit of his sense of humor for once. Not many of the commoners had the same humor of magic.

Subject: She's the Girl All the Bad Guys Want


So that was the reason she was so attractive...her charms were more powerful than any hormone Edward had ever heard of. Hex jumped up and made herself comfortable around his neck. Which was good, kept the chill off. So almost everyone is from a fancy purebred line...he'd have to show 'em what the new school could do. So to speak.

"Famous, huh? I'm just a poor country sorceror trying to make my way in the world. Someone's got to represent the new lines. Gotta start somewhere, after all. As for partying...sounds good to me, I finally learned my limits. Mind-altering anything makes us fire wielders a bit...volatile..."

What magic she had said.

"That old black magic that you use so well, of course," he said with a wink.
