[quote]"It's the skull of a ram that's in my study," James answered. "I never knew that magic would ever return to this world... and that those beings that I defeated eons ago would remain dormant. However, I heavily advise that you hide them somewhere because it's likely that there are other eyes set on them. And I have sealed beings such as Babylon the Great, The Swarm, and... the Hands."[/quote]

Alex gave his half siblings a cursory glance before looking back at their father. [color=c4df9b]"If someone could be so kind to go and look for the ram skull in our father's study and confirm that it has not been stolen by the rambling cult of idiots, that would be much appreciated, thank you."[/color] The rest of what their father said was nothing but trouble, though. For one, he did not expect magic to return to this world, whatever it meant, it could only mean that something is happening in the universe, something of great, supernatural proportions. Everyone in the room were either aided by Apparitions or got magic by their own, and if he was to take a guess, they all got it at around the same time.

And then there was the other thing. No, [i]things[/i]. Apparently, from what he could gather from what he was saying, James Vanburen was some kind of demon hunter that sought out dangerous magical creatures and imprisoned them inside objects... like the Ram Skull for the Horned God. And now that creature's half was seeking him out...

[color=c4df9b]"We should find all of the objects with... what were those again? Apparitions, right. We need to get those things off those stands and glass containers and place them in more secure locations. Like, as I said, vaults. We should not put them all in the same place, either..."[/color]

Maybe. Maybe they should scatter the objects around Araminta? Maybe. But they should ask their magic experts. 

[color=c4df9b]"What do you suggest, Justin?"[/color], Alex turned to Justin, winking. [color=c4df9b]"Should we bury them ten or so feet in the ground in random places... or...?"[/color]

[quote]"I don't see why not," Sabrina answered. Before she smiled as she said, "Just don't bring down any buildings while we're there, okay?" Sabrina said as she remembered the devastation he caused in the manor. Though, there was a problem that she didn't yet realize until she opened the door for him...[/quote]

Raymond smiled at his half sister as she told him that there was no objection to him getting in this journey with the rest of them. "Sabs, you know that I'm not that strong. Yet." However, he too would realize a rather... slight inconvenience that they would all have to bear while in their ride to the outskirts of the town.

That's right... everyone, except for Ray, were either six footers or over. He was the shortest one at five feet and ten inches, and sitting beside them made him feel small. He was normally their snuggly sibling that often fell asleep when they were sitting together, but this time, it was like they're packed sardines in there.

[quote]She realized that she stuck out like a sore thumb here and hoped that their time here would be brief. The cab sped off and right behind Sabrina was the woods... and in front of her was a row of buildings. A convenience store, a bar, an alcohol store, a pizza store, and a strip club.[/quote]

"Well, here we are, in the destitute area of this miserable town." Ray slapped the door shut, as he was the last to get out. Being among these three brought back memories of their tales of mischief as children, but now, well, they were going to hunt down a cult in the woods. Sounds like fun.

"So, where to next?" Raymond asked as he looked around the area, looking for hooded magicians. "Are we going to the bar and ask the omnipotent bartender about a suspicious character named Morgana?"
