	Many things went through Evelina's mind as Faith spoke. She kept all her thoughts to herself. Right then, she felt it was the best thing to do. Sometimes silence was golden. It gave a person time to reflect. On what they had been told and more than that just what they were saying. Her feet hitting the ground with each step she took and the sound of gravel grinding under foot being muffled out by the talking of the Paradox. A blank expression on the Emendators features as she walked, back ridged and arms loose at her sides. Her dark hair, longer now than it had been, hung down her back and whipped slightly in the wind. Time did that. While for Faith it had been less than a week since Evelina had left, less time than a short vacation, a time so short she wouldn't have even have had to pluck her brows. Time in the end for anyone was relative. A thousand years could feel like a few minutes. A few minutes could feel like a thousand years. It all depended on how you spent the time and who was around you. Right then, a few minutes felt like a thousand years. Chances were nothing would change that. 

	Stopping for a moment, Evelina looked up and away as Faith finished talking. Turning her head to the left and then to the right. Glancing around with the same blank expression she had had when the Paradox was talking. There was no evidence how what Faith said affected Evelina. Had she listened? Had she heard her? Had it hurt? Angered? Calmed her? One couldn't tell. She just stood there, looking in one direction and then another. Keeping what went through her mind to herself before looking back in the direction she had come from. 

	[color=0072bc]"How close to death do you really want to get?"[/color] A sideways glance was cast towards Faith as she spoke. [color=0072bc]"Take it from someone who contemplates the terror of nothingness every extricable moment of their existence."[/color] Evelina's voice was calm as she spoke. [color=0072bc]"You don't understand what that is."[/color] Even and emotionless. [color=0072bc]"I hope you never do."[/color] Before, while reserved most of the time Evelina had held emotion. [color=0072bc]"I am so sorry I am such a disappointment to you."[/color] The last time Evelina has spoken to a Paradox before today she had erupted towards them. [color=0072bc]"It doesn't make any difference."[/color] Today, at most, she had shown only a hint of emotion. [color=0072bc]"What do you do when you realize you might not be the good guy?"[/color] The longer time went by though the less there was. [color=0072bc]"I did what I had to do."[/color] Until there was nothing left but a hollow echo. [color=0072bc]"If I had to do it again, I would."[/color] Evelina was not the same. [color=0072bc]"There is no way out."[/color]

	Taking a deep breath she turned her head. [color=0072bc]"At least not for me."[/color] Placing one foot in front of the other. [color=0072bc]"The void within me is bottomless and it is black and it is eternal."[/color] In the same direction she had been going. [color=0072bc]"You can't save me."[/color] The direction she had said she was going to walk. [color=0072bc]"No one can."[/color] Towards the river. [color=0072bc]"I'm already gone."[/color] Sharp rocks were starting to line the area as she walked, taller and taller the closer she got to the river itself. [color=0072bc]"That's just the roll of the dice."[/color] It was still someways off when Evelina had to step around one of the larger rocks and behind it out of sight. [color=0072bc]"And even I cannot change that."[/color] She never emerged from the other side.

	Evelina was gone and one could hear a voice behind the rock. [color=fdc68a]"Yes! Cronklewobbles! Oh that does make sen..."[/color] sounded from the other side of the rock tripped a scraggly looking man. A large white tiger walking next to him. If a tiger could looked vexed, it did. Disheveled with his nose in a book and a quill in his hand. He didn't even look up from his book as he tripped. [color=fdc68a]"...se. Horrible things they are,"[/color] he said finishing his sentence and looking up. [color=fdc68a]"Oh you aren't Miss Hollar. Hello."[/color] Ludwig gave a tight lipped smile and pulled his journal close to his chest as he looked at Faith. 

	[color=fdc68a]"Are you mad? People say that I am mad but I am not. I am very glad. Glad I tell you. never mad."[/color] The mans knees buckled slightly as he squinted his eyes and his glasses slipped down to the tip of his nose. [color=fdc68a]"How could I not be? I don't have pointy shoes and I lost Dieter, my ferret not my brother. My brother is in the ground, sleeping. Dieter, my ferret not my brother, is probably being a mighty steed indeed. But not mad. Glad. Very glad. New place, new things, new sky. Yes, very glad,"[/color] he rambled on as he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. The tiger yawned deeply and padded alongside Ludwig.

	[color=fdc68a]"Oh hello,"[/color] Andromeda and Gilbert standing there. [color=fdc68a]"You're tall. You're short. Do you piggy back him? Be a mighty steed. Not as mighty as Dieter, my ferret not my brother. Can't ride the dead. I mean perhaps you could but I always say let the dead sleep. Unless they want to wake up. Dead have tales to tell you know. They talk, if you listen. Very interesting stories. I've heard a lot, wrote them down so I won't forget. They thought I was mad to. I don't know why. I'm not mad. I'm glad."[/color] The man knew how to ramble on that was for sure. The tiger pawed at Ludwig and tugged him in another direction.

	Ludwig stopped his rambling though as he spotted Virginia. He gave the pale woman a goofy grin and giggled a bit. [color=fdc68a]"Virginia... "[/color] he said as he stumbled over his own two feet but managed to stay standing. [color=fdc68a]"Mia'Bella,"[/color] he added sheepishly. [color=fdc68a]"So long, very long, Circus. Yes, Circus. Master Joyous, you, others. Forget, not worth remembering. You, pale lady. yes, Crypt! Very long. Very not mad. Very glad. Death bring you here. Wonderful! I hope it wasn't Whisglemangers that did it. Terrible way to go but still glad you are here."[/color] The tiger rolled his eyes.

	Kyra looked up towards the sky and away as the others talked. Turning her head to the left and to the right as the others kept speaking. Was what they saying having any effect on her? It was unclear as her eyes moved and swept across the landscape slowly, as if she was scanning for something. [color=82ca9d]"A shift is coming."[/color] Her words were blank as she spoke, as if she was telling someone that two plus two equaled four or letting them know what the weather would be tomorrow. It wasn't even clear if she was actually speaking to them or just to the air as the words left her lips. Ash lifted his head slightly, sniffing the air for a moment before resting himself back down in Kyra's lap. 

	Whatever it was, it didn't seem to concern either of them. Though, things didn't really seem to faze Kyra. Emotionless, even, there was not much there to define her. People appearing in the middle of this place and she seemed no more surprised than if when she laid her head down at night she fell asleep. Was it expected? Or just common occurrence? Perhaps she had a numbness to the world. Perhaps that is what happened to people when they came here. While she did not say much though, she listened. A simple nod coming from her at the question Mali gave her. Proserpine? [color=82ca9d]"Yes."[/color]

[center]***** Snapping *****[/center]
	Taking a deep breath, she would have said more but there was nothing more to say to those that were not there. Looking around from where she sat she didn't recognize any of the people standing up around her. Kyra did not bother to shrug or even look perplexed. She merely patting the large wolf resting its head in her lap. It sat up, sitting it was nearly as tall as those standing around. A slow breath left her nose as she stood up and looked around. Taking in her surroundings.

	[color=82ca9d]"Shiftings..."[/color] she said to herself as she kept looking around. The wolf stood up and padded around Kyra protectively. Sniffing slightly as he did, his large tongue lapping out to lick his own nose. Kyra looked down at the wolf for a minute before looking finally at the people standing there. [color=82ca9d]"You smell of fear."[/color] Her voice was direct as she looked towards Mahendra. She looked each of them over. [color=82ca9d]"More strange clothing."[/color] She seemed to be talking more to herself than to those actually standing there.

	Turning her head Elizaveta looked towards Constantin, her fingers resting on the walls of the ruins. Gently running over the worn stone. There was a nod from her. [color=a187be]"Da, perhaps. Elsevhere as vell. Vould be good? Safe but elsevhere? Ve can hope,"[/color] she said softly as her fingers left the wall and she walked over towards Constantin, reaching out and taking his hand in hers. Another nod, as if to reassure herself along with him. [color=a187be]"They are strong, they survive. Ve survive."[/color] She didn't know that for certain but as she had said, hope. It was what they had. Perhaps they were still in the church, wondering the same. Thinking the same. Hoping the same. 

	At Constantin's question, Elizaveta looked around. Dieter? It took her a minute to remember the small animal that was with the German. Pursing her lips together she let go of Constantin's hand and started looking around but it was no good. Dieter, the ferret not the brother, was no where to be found. He was not with them. Perhaps like others, like Millicent and Colette and Ny, he was elsewhere as well. She could hope. Hope was all they had now. They were elsewhere. A place they didn't know, coming by a way they had not expected. 

	While during her looking around, Elizaveta hadn't found anything of note, someone else would. Virginia, in her speaking and looking seemed to have clued in on something. On one of the other walls, etched in the stone but faded and worn was the same symbol that Elizaveta had drawn in the dust on the floor of the church, the Belladonna. It seemed there was a connection. If that connection meant anything or not was yet to be seen but there it was. Perhaps not as clear as day but clear as a foggy night: which for Virginia might have been preferable. 

	Turning her head, Elizaveta looked towards Vlad and sighed. [color=a187be]"Let us take a moment. reserve fire for grand finale, da?"[/color] she said in a calm voice towards Vlad. There was a slight glance towards William as he introduced himself. [color=a187be]"Much of the time even the purpose ve find is not the one meant."[/color] Or perhaps there was none? During Williams searching he would find nothing he could link to England or Scotland. Nothing other than the symbol that Virginia had already discovered. 

[center]***** Snapping *****[/center]
	Elizaveta was about to say something else to Vlad when she suddenly appeared elsewhere. She spun around quickly, her hand falling to the hilt of her blade. Only she didn't know those standing around her. She knew William but only barely. Seeing the other two women standing with this strange looking man with a snake her eyes narrowed. [color=a187be]"Vhat vitchery is this?"[/color] she asked. The two women were dressed in away she didn't understand and the man looked like something that had just docked from the West Indies. [color=a187be]"You look of the Del'ataunt Graveolase..."[/color] She did not sound happy about that as her grip on the hilt of her blade tightened.
