"Belief has nothing to do with anything. You have spent little time among gods. Fate did not send you here. You foolishly believe that Fate cares." In less time than it takes to blink Mita appears before James. His blade presses into Jame's chest. "Death does not want you this day. No instead you will be our guest." Chains appear upon James binding his arms and legs. "Try and break them. These are nasty little chains. They are tied to your soul. You will be consumed if these chains are removed by any, but myself."

An arm rises up from James's shadow, catching Mita's blade mid-air. James glances at it, intrigued but not surprised.

"I would not call it foolishness," he said quietly.

"I told you," said Jeffery. "I'm not planning an assault." But his voice had lost its accusatory tone, and his posture had relaxed slightly.

"So," remarked Decrin. "What is this plan you speak of?"

"We continue on. If we want to draw her out direct confrontation we have to take that which she values. She always had an ego. When we come upon temples built to death or discover those who worship it we remove them from the board. We burn the temples to the ground and scatter her followers. This will frustrate her and make her likely to make a mistake."

Decrin frowned. "I thought you said that we would not be able to fight her directly?"

Herial looked over at Queen. "I don't know how, but he's managed to break most of his ribs. Nath, I can't do much about it, they have to heal on their own, but if anyone has an unsealed goldmind, that would be great. Usually, this would take about six weeks to heal as long as you were careful, but with a goldmind, you can heal faster. Also, I don't know that you would follow my instructions and take it easy.

Queen merely shook her head in shock. "Nath, in a very odd way, that is extremely impressive."

Herial knows, she knew a long time ago, but she's going to try to make you say it.

"What? I was meaning Nath. He keeps showing off. Is there something I should know about?" Herial smiled innocently.

Queen inconspicuously took a deep breath, calming herself before turning back to face Herial with a hint of a smile. "I know that's not what you meant, that makes absolutely no sense. 'A special someone' because Nath keeps showing off? We both know what you mean, so why dance around it? Alright, yes, I do have feelings for Fadran, and, yes, it may be somewhat soon after my fiance's death, but I really don't think that 'already' would be the proper term for it. With the rate we move on from villains, new people, and worlds, moving on from Journey's death after a year shouldn't be considered 'already.'

I really wanted Queen to say "Don't worry; you're invited to our wedding." in a sarcastic voice right after where the link is. By the way, the link is to a song by the name 'Dance Around It."

"You know, I am right here." Fadran says, siphoning his Health to fix Nath's ribs.

Herial stood back. "Queen, did you notice anything else?"

I would just like to note that nobody knows how Nath's ribs were mysteriously broken (except for Queen who probably saw it in Nath's mind or something)

Edit: and they don't know that Winter is dead

When the woman began to laugh, Fox was filled with something in between the feeling of dread and hatred, but not quite either. She never could quite come up with a name for it, perhaps it was the wounding of pride. Fox hated being laughed at, but then, it seemed as if this woman was not quite laughing at her, she did not have that look of contempt and sharpness when the laughter was finished, but a look of only someone who had been humored. Fox didn't know how to respond to that. Then the woman spoke of what she was, an... echo.

"You're... an echo tied to the knife? What does that even mean?" Fox asked.

There is a glint of something not unkind in Circestran's eyes when she meets Fox's gaze again. "You probably know that I have been killed. I am not quite a ghost. However, my immortal spirit imprinted a shadow of itself onto this dagger which meant so much to me. I am not alive and not dead. I am you might say a guide for the one who wields the knife. Even if the knife is destroyed I will continue to survive with the remains. It is I suppose the cost of my attachment to that dagger."

The chains appear around Mita and then fall away. Mita nods his head and the marble floor consumes James' feet and lock them into their depths.

"An unbreakable oath. If you break the oath then you literally destroy yourself. All protective magics are bound. It should be a simple thing for one who is assisted by shadow creatures and deities."
