Due to a misunderstanding, they used Tom Joebob's Skeleton Keys to do the deeds.

Xinoehp cut through tendril after tendril, but always more seemed to pour in.

Withy stood by, hands clasped behind his back, watching with detached interest.

And the sky darkened further.

 

This isn't right, muttered Aqua. It shouldn't be happening like this. She vibrated in agitation, misting the air slightly. Xinoehp is supposed to be the exact weakness of the withergeists. He should be kicking dark twisted butt, not... not. She hesitated. Something's wrong.

"Oh, no..." Sophie swallowed. She could take a hint. Either Fate was drawing the story out, increasing the tension, or he was trying to get her to fight. She dearly hoped it was the former, so she might be able to watch Xino take on the withergeist army in his full glory. That would be marvelous. But... he seemed to be struggling. She ran through all the tropes she could think of. Could it be that she would have to be the one to run out there? A part of her wanted to, she found. But she was absolutely terrified. Her heart was beating quickly with adrenaline. Please, she begged TVG. Please don't make me do this again. Of course, the only answer she got was silence. Until, however, her eyes were drawn to movement from the corner of her eyes. 

Astral sat up to find that things had not gone the way she had intended for them to go. Yes, the massive hoard of withergeists were gone... But in the sky was gathered a great host of them and standing before her only friend was Withy, who she had heard about from her time on the thread. She narrowed her eyes. No one should ever attack like that. It was so lazy, so utterly un-impassioned. Withy wasn't moving a muscle. But what really made her angry was the sight of Xino getting pushed back by the dark barrage. For he was giving everything he had. The Queen of Shadows stood, summoning her black blade again. She had mostly recovered from the burst of light from before. "Why you little..." She trailed off, running forward. "Don't you TOUCH HIM!" she yelled, rushing to help Xinoehp.

*rolls eyes* That's only a big deal if you're on mobile. 

Sophie's eyes widened. Astral was willing to just do that. To rush into battle without knowing if she would survive. Sophie... Sophie could never do that. Why was it that all of her sisters had been gifted with such magnificent bravery and she was left with... cowardice. Knowledge, yes, but... she'd much rather be braver. She felt tears in her eyes, stupid, big blue tears, but wiped them away, ashamed of herself and her terror.

A dark tendril snaked through the air and wrapped around the wrist that held the sword. With a revolting squelch, it melted into her essence-

Voices assaulted her.
-ᴏꜰ ᴜs ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴜs ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ-  
-death, destruction, decay, dissolution-
-ᴏꜰ ᴜs ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴜs ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ-
-corruption, infection, contagion, impurity-
-ᴏꜰ ᴜs ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴜs ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ-
-burning, withering, dying, screaming-
-ᴏꜰ ᴜs ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴜs ᴏꜰ ᴜs ᴏꜰ ᴜs-  
 
 
As darkness fell, Aqua shifted her alien gaze upwards, towards the clouds.
Help? she thought, just in case someone was listening. Please?
 
And that's when she realized something.
The clouds, she gasped. They're blocking out the sun!

Astral's wrist twisted instinctually as she tried to get away from the intruding tendril. Of course, by the time she felt it, it was already too late. Her jerking wrist motion made her drop her sword and it misted away moments before it hit the ground. She gasped, her vision becoming completely dark as the voices began to whisper harshly in her mind. She cried out, putting her hands to her head. "I am of plot!" she yelled. The voices did not halt. They only increased the volume of their rasping cries. Her head was hurting. "Get OUT of me!" The volume increased more and she fell to her knees. They spoke of her essence. Stuff of villainy, of things impure. But she was not one of them. She pulled at her hair, frantic. Last time, she had allowed herself to be taken by Silence. Not this time. Not. This. Time. But as they screamed at her, she found herself shrinking away in fear. She whimpered, barely keeping herself from their influence. "I will not submit," she muttered. "I will not submit, I will not submit, I will not..." She repeated the phrase as a mantra, feeling her resolve slowly fray.

Sophie looked up. The storm of withergeists had indeed blocked the light of the sun. "What do we do?" Sophie asked.
