Having completed his mission to capture the inter-planetary criminal Testio Vronin, Alex was headed back to Xela Reiva to prepare to take his place as part of the Reivan Council. On his ship he felt a strange sense of foreboding. "Crena have the ship scan for any -" Blackness erupted all around him and it felt as if he was being ripped to pieces and being put back together over and over. He went to move his hands to the ship's controls but they seemed to move in every direction at once. He started to feel as though he were falling sideways as if the gravitational compensators had failed and the ship was making erratic turns. When he should have hit the wall he seemingly passed through it. That was when he blacked out.

Alex woke up shivering. He was lying on his back in the snow which did little to protect him from the rocks right under it. His head felt like someone had hammered on his skull from the inside trying to get out and had nearly succeeded. ~Why does this stuff always happen to me?~ he thought as he rubbed his head and got up, " Crena where are we and how did we get here?" Getting no answer he looks down at his chest where Crena is usually hanging from a necklace, seeing nothing panic begins to swell in his chest. He begins to search near the spot he had been laying the swirling swirling snow did not aid his efforts, when he moved snow to look under it the wind blew it right back. Seeing that searching manually was not going to work he attempted to create a large fire to melt the nearby snow, the result was a small flame that barely covered an area larger than his hand. 

"What is this, my powers are limited?" 

~Alexavier it seems that the seals placed on us at birth have been activated~ came Xavier's mental reply. 

Alexander:~Weren't those seals set to protect our power from being stolen?~ 

Xavier: ~Normally, yes but whatever brought us here must have triggered them~  
"Well that is just great. We don't know where we are, our powers are mostly sealed, and Crena is missing." 

Xavier: ~Hmm.. to test how much our power is sealed try to create some clones.~  
Thinking this a good idea Alex attempts to make clones. " Only two? I should at least be able to make ten." 

Xavier: ~They also seem to be weaker than usual~ 

"Well they should work fine for scouting and searching purposes. You two each take a clone Xavier South head  and Alexander head East. We seem to be in some ruins of some kind but be careful making those clones took up more energy than normal and we can't afford not to find out more about where we are or where Crena is. I can sense Crena but cannot determine his distance from us he could be right next to us or a universe away." 

Alexander in clone body: "Yeah, yeah look around, no die, find rock" 

Xavier in clone body: "This is serious, we don't have time for you to goof off" 

Alexander: " Yeah I know, I was just trying to lighten the mood a bit. Well, see you in a bit." 

Alexavier: "Be careful you two this place gives me a bad feeling." 

As the other two leave Alex notices what looks like the outline of a person near the closest castle wall. He begins to walk over catiously keeping an eye out for any sudden movements.
