	Emma seemed a bit disappointed in Skaoi's lack of reaction. He had been hoping that she would know something or get an idea from that, but he figured that not all grown ups were able to spend their time gossiping. They arrived at the [b]Darke[/b] section and Emma just stood by the exit, nodding at Skaoi. "Let me know if you need any help, miss," he told her quietly. He wasn't too certain what exactly she was looking for - the entire thing with the CHS had him rattled and he was drawing some blanks.

	[color=#a81a75]"Watch your tongue or I might throw you off as well,"[/color] Runa told Arnora. Her face was completely expressionless, so there would be no telling if she was being sarcastic or not. Still, when it came to dealing with a goddess, Arnora would know from her culture that questioning the divine [i]never[/i] ended well. It was a shame that Grimspound had not learned that lesson in his own upbringing. [color=#a81a75]"And I assure you, cousin, he deserved it. It's a sad fact that Midgardians have not yet evolved beyond sexism."[/color]

	She knelt down next to Rhys' corpse, putting her hands above it and she began to use her own [b]Magyk[/b]. The staff pieces gave off a glow and suddenly there was a projection of the energy inside of the body, as if made out of sand or dust. [color=#a81a75]"We may be able to follow Chthon this way,"[/color] Runa explained. [color=#a81a75]"[b]Magyk[/b] is unique to the individual - think of this like his fingerprint. It will take some time, but I believe we can put a [b]Trace[/b] on Chthon and find his next manifestation this way before it is too late."[/color]

	Runa then rose to her feet. [color=#a81a75]"Come, we have a wedding to attend to and I will not allow it to be delayed a second longer,"[/color] she said, before getting onto the staircase. Once Arnora, Klara, and Lance were on the stairs as well, Runa gave the command for them to go down at double time, depositing them in the entrance way.

	The message on the Floor faded away, but all of Wizard Tower seemed to be a bit subdued. The staircase, normally gleaning and energetic, ready to [i]zoom[/i] you off to your destination, was somehow depressed. The lighting darkened, becoming a soft purple hue rather than the natural light Wizard Tower usually enjoyed. Of course, the gloom was temporarily abated as Runa and the others made their way down. 

	 [color=ed145b]"Mother...Father... Auntie..."[/color] Halley greeted, seeing the individuals. She looked incredibly relieved to see that they were all in one piece. 

	[color=#a81a75]"Thalia, Richard,"[/color] Runa greeted, not surprised at all to see them there. She had met them ages ago, back in a very different time and in what was now called the Big Wild Land Over the Ocean. [color=#a81a75]"Chthon's host succumbed to his injuries - and Chthon [b]Vanished[/b] the ExtraOrdinary Wizard. If you would not mind ferrying the children to Asgard, Thalia, I would appreciate it."[/color] Runa was the Sorcerer Supreme. Wizard Tower recognized her authority and the goddess knew that she would be expected to give input to the Tower on who to make the next ExtraOrdinary Wizard. 

	But at the moment, she just wanted to see her son and his fiancée.

	Antonije gently set Sylvi down, feeling a bit dazed. His palms were a bit sweaty and his skin was looking paler than normal. It most likely wasn't anything more serious than a fever, but it still brought the rogue to pause for a moment. [color=cc33ff]"...Glad you're fine..."[/color] he mumbled, putting a hand to his head. His head had started to pound too and he could barely see, as Antonije stumbled and collapsed to the ground. He didn't even register that Myth's water had broken. He was too weak. 

	The twins, meanwhile, had zipped over to Myth. Between the two of them freaking out, they were running in circles and accidentally creating a little tornado around Myth out of nerves. [color=7ea7d8]"Tata, her water!!!"[/color] Marya screamed, her voice sounding a bit distorted from how fast she was running. She was nothing more than a silver blur around Myth, as was the quieter twin, Medea. It was fortunate that Bruce's grandfather actually knew a fair deal about medicine and forgetting his own shame, he hurried on over. 

	"Stop running around her!" he snapped a bit and the twins slowly down, the wind dissipating as Banner went through and knelt down next to Myth. "Myth, deep breaths, you're going to be okay," he promised. He then hesitated, as Fleur came into the room and their situation became a little bit worse. Turning his head, he had to take a calming breath. 

	[color=ff0000]"Valda..."[/color] Myrus mumbled, a bit freaked out by all of this. [color=ff0000]"Maybe we should go home now,"[/color] he said quietly. Fleur had been the one behind Luna's abduction. One of her witch's, Nera, had killed Myrus' mother. He had seen enough witches to last a lifetime and then some. His hands started to shake and Myrus quickly made sure he wasn't touching anything, just in case it exploded. 

	Astrid meanwhile went and stood defensively in front of her brother, grandfather, and Myth. [color=6ecff6]"Guys, any chance anyone has any epic powers they've been holding back?"[/color] she asked.

	"...The Goddess of Lies?" Rainbrook asked, his eyes widening a bit. "Are you, erm, alright? You really... wow, just... that is very bold," he said, rambling a bit. He was culturally from the Land of Long Nights. He knew that gods were not people that were messed with and from what he could tell, Grimspound was lucky to be alive. Some of the gods and goddesses would have killed him without any mercy, as much as mercy could be seen as being thrown off of a tower. 

	"The erm... the ExtraOrdinary Wizard, how is she?" Rainbrook then asked.
