Kaja lands on the ground next to Nick. She moves forward to cushion the girl's head as Nick lays her on the ground, but as the girl wakes Kaja stands and takes a step back. Her white feather wings are folded against her back. She has auburn hair and blue eyes. She is a kerujin from Kayosia. There are at least five of her people on the ground now, they all came in with Nick. They will protect him, even if he's not Overseer any longer.
Kaja looks down at the girl. She's heard of her of course. Angel causes quiet the stir in Kayosia. She was always at the center of trouble, either by her own causing or someone else's. She remembers her conversation with Noah. He doesn't seem to think highly of the Croxx and it was clear from the beginning as to why. She just can't believe they've lasted this long, which only proves to her that the Jar'Ha are as dumb as the Croxx are incompetent.
Nick Corwin ....High in the sky a figure can be seen approaching the castle. It's full daylight, so it can't be a vampire, but the figure doesn't have wings. The kerujin surround the figure in a manner that's more escort like than anything else. It's Nick, and he has the unconscious Angel tossed over his shoulder. He stops directly above the courtyard and then descends straight down. He turns as he lowers, until he's facing the castle. He lands light as a cat, but bends his knees to absorb the momentum anyway, out of habit. He lowers all the way to one knee and dips low to place Angel on the ground.
Angelicia Croxx says, ` her form lumped back, her eyes closer, slowly beginning to flutter. It takes her a few moments to take in the surroundings of herself and then looking at nick. she snapped right up. her hand jetting out behind her, she did not know of anything that happened... or how they got away. " nick?" looking at him
Angelicia Croxx ~ bit taken back by the other's strange presence . she slipped back away from the two of them..."what is this...where...who...what's going on?" She was starting to get a little freaked out. the last few months was a true test on her emotional statue, and it was not fairing well
Nick Corwin stands after laying Angel down. He has an annoyed frown on his face. He studies Angel for a few moments. He looks up to see some hunters wanting to come help, but they're too scared of Nick and the kerujin. He sighs and waves them over with a look that demands to know what they're waiting for. They come over then to help Angel up and into the castle if needed. Karel Croxx comes out of the castle and walks boldly up to Nick. "What happened here? She was on her way to the King?" Nick starts to answer Karel, but hears Angel continue on instead in a panicked voice. "She took the shortcut through Mador." Mador is far out of the way. The king is due north, Mador is due east.
Angelicia Croxx ~ she pulled herself free of those that wished to help her..."Karel nick...what is all this what is goin on?" her mind very hazy, much to the fact that the blackness was working its way into her flesh, unknowingly to herself. She stood her arms down at her side one being held by someone she did not look to she who
Nick Corwin turns to look at a magic user that approaches. It's one of his sisters. His mood lightens some. He hugs his sister, but answers her question of what is going on instead of Angel's. "She's had some magic spell put on her. Something big and bad. . like Armageddon bad. . Want to remove that? Oh, and I think she has an undetectable curse too. " Something in his head questions himself suddenly. No, it's not him. It has to be a curse. He hasn't changed, but his life has been going down hill at break neck speed. It's to the point now he no longer knows what the point in living is.
Kaja steps back from the girl suddenly with a frown. Almost all her people do. If an Arepharis says she's cursed , then it's true. The hunters and Karel of course don't believe it and seem to get offended. Karel speaks out. "My sister is not cursed!"
Angelicia Croxx says, ~ shaking herself free she stormed to where Nick an Karel stood. Getting herself between then. she might have been weak, but she would not stand there and let Karel treat her friend in such a manner. "stop this... are you all mad.. I am well and fine. I have no curse. " ~ looking around the small area at everyone... her long locks fell limp across her face. she was so tired and yet there was a strange darkening strength pulsating within her
Nick Corwin is still half dressed. He's got on his pants on. The Jar'Ha finally figured out his pants were not enchanted and gave them back. Too bad they didn't give him back his belt. But he'll just leave that with them anyway. Nick's long black hair is all tangled. They weren't kind enough to braid it for him so it wouldn't get in such a state. His apple, jade green eyes burn with an inner fire they haven't shown since he was an assassin. He's annoyed. Kaja looks at Nick suddenly. "We brought you something." As soon as she says it a bark can be heard coming from the direction of the water ship. A very large chocolate lab is running toward them with what looks like a ball in his mouth. Nick decides not to comment to Angel. In his opinion, she is not well or fine. . and she is indeed cursed. He turns to the dog with a bright smile and squats down as the dog comes. He takes the ball. "Hey, Cerabus. Miss me boy?"
Angelicia Croxx says, ~looking at nick then to the others. her hand rose to push Karel back a step. to give nick his space. Taking him to the way side, she whispered in rather low tones. Her left hand moved as if it had a mind of its own. Twitching and shaking a bit. She just dismissed it as nerves. slowly she calmed herself an waited for Karel to speak tell her of things ..."has anything happened ?" ~with a sudden burst of energy, her hand against Karel's chest, strikes him hard and evenly centered. Her blow very hard , she thought, questioning her actions once she stepped back. "Karel?"
Nick Corwin stands back up with the ball in his hand. It's not a dog toy ball, but a glass sphere with magical properties. Angel saw them all the time in Serenity. Pixie spheres. Nick turns to look at his sister. "Either they have time magic, or the curse on Angel prevents me from moving at my natural speed to aide her. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to snap one neck. Something I should have been able to do before the first line of the spell was done, and I didn't manage to do it until the spell was complete." He frowns disgusted. He's never felt so damned slow before. He didn't like it at all. A human could have killed the guy sooner than he did. . . .Karel looks at Angel with worry, but answers her anyway. "A large army showed up. Well besides the Kelosh ship and then the Kelosh flying people." Kaja and her people sick close to Nick, but try to stay away from Angel.
