Maria cursed their luck. So much for that plan. Then she smiled. Stepping forward she stared at the kid. "Back off." She ordered. "Twila has complete control of all dreams. Even if I pull her out, she could make it where your friend will never waken again. Just forever be lost." She smirked and crossed her arms. "If you strike us, she'll know. And she knows my command to lock your friend away forever if one hair of our heads is touched." 

Amber stepped forward. "She can't do that. Can see?" She asked looking at Aerok.

The large spirit nodded. "Though I've never met the spirit she is one of the color spirits. I believe she has that power." 

Maria laughed. "So back off or she's done for. Let us walk away."

Trex stepped forward, face like stone. "This is how it's going to work." He declared, tone dark. "You let her go. Otherwise, we deal with you." 

Maria lifted an eyebrow. "And your friend gets trapped."

"Until you're dead." Trex replied coldly. Amber and Chris looked over at him surprised at his coldness. Cracking his knuckles, Trex took another step forward. "So you trap her. She's already trapped. We kill you, take your keys and Flynn here can make a contract with this spirit and order her to release Zelia. Easy as that."

Maria glanced at Narsica. They were outnumbered. Technically she could force Twila to trap their friend but the wizard was right. Once she was died, there was nothing binding Twila to her and another celestial could order her to release the trap. Seeing no alternative, she glanced back at the wizards. "And if we let her go, you'll leave us be?" She inquired. 

Trex nodded. "If you can prove it."

Not daring to meet Narsica's eyes, Maria nodded. "We don't have a choice." She whispered. She held up her key. "Twila, come here." She demanded.

Humans were very interesting. The internal battles they fight over something like this. Though most spirits found partners, Twila normally avoided it. She had some friends but she was way to reclusive for anything to go anywhere. But even then, why would she lie to herself? However, before she could really delve farther into the subject, she heard the summons. Of course. With a sigh, she waved her hands making the dreams disappear. Perhaps another. As she exited, she glanced back briefly. She never did get to ask about the celestial wizard... 

Skye sat on a chair, sword across her lap sharping the blade. Seeing Zelia stir, she quickly put her sword away and came over to her. "You're awake." She stated. "The others must have found who was behind it." She put a hand out to stop Zelia from getting up. "Trex said you should not jump in hastily." She said a bit nervous. She didn't want to be the one at the end of either one's wrath.
