She took a tentative step forward. “Let him go.”

The woman slowly cut a small slice in Lukas’ throat when she took a step, not enough to kill him but enough to draw blood. Behind the woman was another child, shorter and younger than Lukas, who looked similar to him. 
“This boy is property of the queen. You have stolen him. It is my job to return him.” She smiled, her teeth yellow.

 She moved her foot back. “W-why is that the case? How can one person be the property of another?” She looked at the other boy, then back at her.

The little boy looked scared, sad, and desperate, all in one. “Help.” He mouthed.

“All who have broken the Law of Magic are property of the queen.” She said, matter-of-factly.

“‘Law of Magic’,” she echoed. “Pray tell.”

She still has copper going, would the Seizer detect her contacting Elan?

The Seizer could probably tell, but wouldn’t sense it.

“No magic. It’s illegal. Kid here broke it. So he’s now a servant to the queen, her property.”

“And how is a little kid supposed to know that?”

Help. Don’t come yet. But listen.

Okay. Elan said. I will.

“Murder is still murder of you don’t know it. He broke the law. Now he must suffer the consequences.” The Seizer paused. “Are you contacting someone?” She said.

“What do you mean murder?”

”Of course not. That wouldn’t be a good idea around a magic detector. Besides, I’m no telepath.”

There’s a lady here who’s holding two little boys hostage. She cut one of their throats with a knife. My back is to a metaphorical wall.

“Just an example. You don’t need to KNOW you’re breaking a law to break it.” The Seizer said. She seemed skeptical about Aventine’s response. 
 

I… see. What do we do?

“Pardons can be made for ignorance, can they not?”

Get a sharp weapon of some kind and hold it to her neck for a change.

Okay. Elan sends. He goes silent for a second.

“Of course not! Ignorance is just not caring, and if you don’t care about the law you’ve broken ordinance 15 section 5A paragraph 8!”

Suddenly there is a crash, and an Elan is standing behind The Seizer. He’s dressed like a freedom fighter and has a mustache like Inigo Montoya. “I heard you need some help.” He says to Aventine. He has an accent that makes him sound like he’s from Spain.

Behold:

Extra attractive freedom fighter Spanish Elan.

Because IC Elan is preoccupied fighting Roy and Arranis.

She lunged forward and grabbed the hand with the knife. She did a thing that made her drop it then shoved the Seizer towards the Elan.

Hi guys! Sorry I kinda vanished but, summer has somehow been busier than school lately I'll try to come back sometime this week though. Could I have a small recap please? I'm totally lost.

Thaidakar.

Was that his name?

Drifting across the plane of the void, he thought about it. Yes... that had been his name. Somewhere behind him was the ruined city and the dragons still perhaps chasing him, though halfheartedly at this point.

Somewhere was the clinic, and somewhere was her corpse.

And... yet... he didn't care. He was in his dragon form once again, having left the archive. His wing was healed now. All of his friends were still alive.

Friends. Yes, he had those. Memory filtered in like a warm light, chasing away the shadows. What had been there since day one was revealed, the dusty remnant of evil blown away.

Thaidakar sensed an old friend. He'd hated her... "Lies," he whispered with a short laugh. A tear fell through the abyss, touching some unseen planet. Power rippled through him, threatening to take over and corrupt him entirely, like it nearly had at the city. Resolve grew in him.

"I will find her."

Many years passed and his friends would never see him again, yet they would, on occasion, hear of a mysterious traveler having visited someone in the clinic, asking for a drink or for bandages. Thaidakar never said hi, for he knew that this part of his life was over. 

Finally, after he had searched all over the universes and beyond, Thaidakar found the last bit of his old life. There was the old spren, sitting on a balcony, sightlessly looking over the city. There was no hope in that cryptic's pattern, it was slow and melancholy. Abandoned. A spike of guilt surged through him, but he suppressed it. He was doing good now.

He sat beside the cryptic. The pattern grew faster, then slower as she noticed Thaidakar. Thaid took the cryptic's hand and said "I'm sorry for leaving you... I'm sorry for not listening."

The cryptic was silent, sullenly looking down.

"I'm sorry, old friend, I'm sorry for doing all those things to you, I'm sorry for breaking our oaths, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" When there was no response, Thaidakar continued, "I've been searching for you, for years. I need you. When I was in that heck hole of a room with that drink, you were still there for me. I have come because I want you to come with me, away from this place to the next adventure."

Silence.

"She's gone," His voice cracked, "It's time we both accept it. We need to move on. Come, let's go." He reached out his hand, standing. Hopelessness filled his mind as he started to turn. Perhaps he'd been wrong to come.

A cold hand touched his. A voice, old, weary, dusty said, "Truth..."

I'll leave what happened to Lyla, Jimmy Thunder and the dark entity up to interpretation.

I just wanted to make a Spanish Elan

Definitely

Thats all that’s happening…

The Elan grabs her. “You, my friend, have been a very very bad girl.” He says, disappearing with her as he ties her up.

The five-year-old looks at where she had just sat in shock.

She put a hand on his shoulder. “I know you’re scared. But if you follow me, I can take you somewhere safe.”

She picked up Lukas in a bridal carry and rubbed his cheekbone with her thumb. “Oh, Lukas…” she whispered.

The boy nods. He’s pale and thin, and doesn’t say anything. 
 

Lukas is limp and looks sickly. There’s a large red swollen bump on his head.

She goes down the stairs, to and through the rift, making sure the boy followed her.

She set Lukas on her room’s wooden floor. The rift closed. She got three wet washcloths from the bathroom- one to clean the blood, one to lay on his neck, one to lay on his forehead.

She lifted her arm for him to crawl under. “It’s okay. You’re safe now.”

For little boy or Lukas?

The little boy just stood there, staring at her.
