Niredsky also dismounted. He had to struggle pretty hard to not make a Dune joke.

"Right.....so is everyone important here?" Ethan glanced around. "Now we just have to wait for the Altinor group..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Qwaser was, at that moment, supremely glad for magic. Portal magic was one of the most unstable and expensive to buy, but in this case it was worth it. The trip from Megolin to the Darkened Isles, which would have normally taken at least a few days, only took a couple of minutes.
"For only the entire contents of my wallet..." The shade grumbled. He sighed and stepped from his hiding spot at the edge of town. Dromir was the town that surrounded the main House of of House Weivyr. A fairly large town, all things considered.
Qwaser walked through town quickly, ignoring those he passed on the streets. He had only one things in mind this day. He strode up to the gates of House Weivyr and grinned at the guards. "Evening."
"What do you want, citizen?" One guard asked in a bored tone.
"Qwaser Weivyr, here to see the Lord."
"Oh? Qwaser? We were wondering where you'd gotten to. Alright go on in." Qwaser nodded pleasantly and walked past the two, into the House.
Eventually he found his way to Baron Weivyr's office and knocked quietly.

Baron Vladymir jumped and hastily made to answer the door, glad to have a distraction. "Just a moment," he said, stuffing the sword behind a filing cabinet beside his desk. "Come in," he called, taking his usual seat.
~~~~~~
"We're here!" Yolanda exclaimed when she arrived with the Valkyrie guard.
Adden nodded in greeting.
"I guess that make me last." Cedric ambled out from...somewhere. "Been a long time, guys."
"Uncle Cedric!" Yolanda rushed over and threw her arms around her uncle.
"Good to see ya, kid. How's school?"
She stuck her tongue out at him.

Qwaser stepped inside with a flourish, bowing almost mockingly to the Baron. "Baron," he said. "it's such a pleasure to see you again."

"Yes," Vlad replied carefully. "Too long, it has been too long." Beneath his desk, his leg jumped in a constant spasm, which should have been impossible, since his body didn't have actual muscles. "What can I do for you?"

Qwaser closed the door behind him..and locked it. "My dear baron...I need your help." He said. "You see, I've been...away for a bit and learning some things. But there is something I can't do without a bit of help and I instantly thought of you, sir. You sort of..well, need something from you, you see."

Qwaser's grinned grew wider, and colder. "My dear baron....your soul."

Baron Vlad stood up and stepped back, reaching unconsciously for Cruor. "Qwaser? what are you talking about?"

Instead of responding, Qwaser began chanting. THe air around the Qwaser grew hazy. He reached out a hand and pointed it towards Baron Weivyr. The man's hands suddenly found themselves moving on their own, and glued against the wall. Qwaser sighed happily. "Blood Magic is quite spectacular, isn't it?" he chuckled darkly. "you can control the blood in someone's body, if you're proficient enough." For effect he waved his handd, and the Baron did the same.

Vlad choked as he was pinned in place. "Qw-Qwaser! Stop this!" His right hand was reaching desperately for Cruor, which seemed to be responding to his call. Finally it flew out from its hiding place - and stopped before Qwaser.
It was responding to the Blood Magic. A sinister voice echoed in Qwaser's mind, I am yours.
((Cruor is quasi-sentient, sort of like Frostsoul))

Qwaser blinked, hearing the voice in his head, and then grinned. "My dear Baron, you just keep giving more and more presents! I didn;t know something like this was in your possession." He shook his head, as if scolding a naughty child. "I wonder where you got something like this; it's obviously of Blood magic origin. Ah well, that's two things I will leave here with."
Qwaser reached one hand into his pocket and withdrew a small crystal. He set it in the table. With his other hand he controlled Baron Weivyr forward, until the shade's head was pressing down on the small jewel. "This conduit will hold you until I need you." He began chanting again.
The air in the room seemed to become thick and musty. Lights flickered. A soft sound, like wind whistling through the room, began to emanate from the crystal. The Baron's head began glowing as his soul was sucked from his body. Qwaser watched with some small satisfaction. "And with this, I am free from this damnable family." He hissed, eyes narrowing. The crystal jumped slightly, and then spun in midair, for Qwaser.
he caught it, and then examined it with a cocked head. "I know you can still hear me in there." He said to the crystal. He glanced at the baron's body, now little more than a dried out husk. "If I'm lucky, I might run into your damn son. Oh what I'd love to do to him..."
Qwaser turned his attention from Baron Weivyr's captured soul, which he put away, and looked at Cruor.
It was beautiful. A weapon forged of Blood Magic. He took it almost reverently, examining the blade. 'Magnificent.." He muttered. "With this, I can do much." He slid the blade's sheath over his back and turned, exiting the office. His business in Mundus Magica was finished.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Right, it looks like everyone's here." Ethan said. "Now we can be o-"
"Wait!" Ethan heard someone call. The voice was a familiar one. He turned to see Vael Korenan, the Governor General of the Hyddick Confederacy, running towards them with a frantic wave. Ethan gave him a dumbfounded look. "Vael?"
Vael stopped, panting slightly. He grinned at Ethan. "Glad I caught up with you." He said. He nodded at the others. "It is good to see you all. I wanted to catch you before you all left." Seeing Ethan's mystified look, he clarified. "Serran told me."
"Ah."
"If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to add an extra man or two to your party." Ethan then noticed that Vael was not alone. Ailina, Vael's bodyguard and childhood friend (Ethan suspected perhaps something more) stride up beside the Hellan. SHe grinned, seeing the members of Dark Wing.
'It's been to long." She said.
"it has," Ethan said, still curious. "Governor-General...you're not sending Ailina with us, are you?" Vael laughed loudly.
"Oh no. I don't think I could ever manage a thing without Ailina here." He said, missing the small blush on the other' hellan's face. "But, I do want a couple of my men to accompany you."
Ethan then noted the two hooded spellblades behind Ailina. They looked young, but you could never tell with hellans. Both nodded at Ethan.
"I want then to, well, be my official representation in Mundus Veritas. And hopefully, a bit of time with Dark Wing will...ah, smooth out the rough, edges, as it were." Vael shot the two a half-annoyed look.

"A larger group will only attract more attention," Torran said, not really to anyone in particular.
Cedric gave him a hard glare. "I don't think I'm going to like you."
"I don't care." He walked away.
Adden nodded in thanks. "Of course. Be warned, they may not return completely sane after a time with this lot."

"Hah! A bit of fun will do them some good." Vael said. "Anyway, I will leave them in your care. Good luck, Ethan, Adden." He nodded to the two of them. He and Ailina turned and left, leaving the two hooded hellans alone with Dark Wing.
Ethan coughed awkwardly as neither of the two talked. "So....welcome to Dark Wing. I'm Ethan..." Again, silence. "Right...." He turned to the rest. "okay, a quick headcount. How many do we have?"

Adden silently performed a head count. "Seven?"
