Shai

Shai was doing the best she could to help Lusius, doing exactly as he told. She was the one helping him to rebuild his house, so following his directions would be the best thing she could do.
Although she had said she could keep going, she was in fact rather tired, and was glad when he said that they should call it a day. It would be useless to keep going right now, they needed the wood Draco would get on the city after all...

Shai was in fact feeling a little guilty for basically being the reason for Draco to have to spend the night on Seren's Folly, especially after Draco's grumbles, which made her blush noticeably.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do kids..." She heard him saying before walking away.
She thought in apologizing to Draco, but when she perceived, he was already gone.

It was already dark, and they were both tired. Shai followed Lusius and kept watching as he covered the holes with some blankets and lit some candles, making the room rather cozy and warm. For someone who was used to sleep in cold ruins, it was a big change.

"So uh... there is only one bed. You must be tired so you can have it. I'll make a spot over on the floor, but I do hope that doesn't bother you that I'll be in the same room as you." Lusius turned to her, before laying down on the corner he prepared for himself.

"O-of course not! But you should really sleep on your bed! I am used-" Shai stopped talking when she realized he was already sleeping.

Getting some sheets from the bed, he covered him. It was the least she could do to him. He was being so attentive and nice to her...
"You are a really sweet guy, aren't you?" she said to herself. "Despite everything that happened to you..."

"Thank you." she said, kneeling down and giving him a kiss on the cheek, before going to the bed and laying down to sleep.

Shai wasn't used to that, the warm an soft bed made her sleep very fast, it was the best night she had in years. The warm and cozy room, the soft bed, the feeling of safety...
The night passed quickly. The next day, Shai woke up with the first rays of sun. She would have done something for them to eat, but she didn't knew where Lusius kept the food. Instead, she sat down in front of the bed and started to meditate, the tarot cards facing down, floating in a circle around her as they randomly revealed themselves from time to time.

Over the Misty Mountains [LOTR] [Hobbit]

"Many thanks to you."
The little elf said to Agarwaen. He couldn't help but feel happy to have helped her. She was too young and too unprepared to be alone, but before he could say anything, the little elf was already running away to the road.
Things were too dangerous around here, and he couldn't even think in what Darcyn and the others would do with that small elf girl if they saw her. He was about to follow the girl, but something was limping into his direction... It was Darcyn... or what was left of him. The man was in a terrible state, hurt, bleeding, limping, dirty and his eyes were showing only madness.

"-Damned pointy eared wench! Fleeing ter yer safe lil' forests whenever danger shows up! Cowardly tippy women with not a man among your lot! Cower in you cities while the rest of us bleed 'n die!" The despicable man started shouting to him. If his words had been different, Agarwaen would simply ignore, but those words were not only directed to him, but to his entire race.

As the crazy man limped towards him, brandishing his sword in his direction, Agarwaen's eyes changed. He could no longer tolerate that disrespect towards himself and his race. With piercing eyes he dodged Darcyn's wild swings, filled with rage. Trained warriors and swordsmen know that swinging your sword while lost in rage, means certain death.
Easily dodging his inaccurate swings, he punched Darcyn's stomach. His eyes were bristling with rage as he spoke:

"You shouldn't speak about what you don't know. I went to the forest to protect someone. Guarding the camp was YOUR responsibility, and yet you failed miserably at it, and you still have the courage to blame someone else for your mistakes?!" he spoke in a very menacing tone, very different from his usual calm and smooth voice.

"You are a failure not only as a warrior, but as a man, as a living being. You are worthless." he said, almost spitting the last word.

"If you insult or bother anyone else, be it a Dwarf, a Human, a Haradim or an Elf..." he said, quickly getting an arrow out of his quiver and pointing it to his throat, pressing it against it.
"I will hunt you down." he whispered to the man.

The second he saw the Haradim approaching them, he moved away from Darcyn, calming himself down and trying to find the elf girl.
"I need to find her... She will get herself in trouble if she keeps walking around alone..." he thought to himself

As the Haradim woman kept walked towards Agarwaen, he turned to her, carefully watching her movements. He didn't knew if she was there to help Darcyn and would attack him or if she was there to "control" Darcyn.

Shai

Shai listened carefully to Lusius' instructions, nodding her head in agreement.
Taking those boards away would be very easy if she used her magic. But it was getting dark, and she didn't wanted to give them more work.
She couldn't take his clothes with her, it would be extremely rude, but at the same time, her robes got burned, so what would she wear?

"There's no need to go away. There may be a big hole in the wall but at least it should help a little to keep you warm through the night. We can just block the hole and cover the hall to keep warm. And besides I can't have you leaving because how am I to know you'd come back? What's stopping you from leaving me with load of work that you claim to have given us."

At first she got surprised by the cold words, but Lusius' warm tone was very comforting.
"Thanks a lot. And don't worry, I wont run away with your clothes and break my promise of helping you." She replied with a gentle smile.

"I promise I will repay you somehow. For everything you both are doing for me. Offering me clothes, protecting me..." she said looking to both Lusius and Draco.

Shai was surprised that they were being so kind with her. Not even once they treated her like a creature, an aberration. She wasn't exactly used to being treated that way... Even other witches treated her bad, for her being an "artificial" witch, or "fake" witch as some said.
She would love to stay here for a little longer. She finally felt that someone really cared about her.

"I wouldn't recommend using time magic..." Draco's words interrupted her thoughts.

She remembered of what happened with Lusius after she used magic on him. The thing that she felt inside him was terrifying.
"Yes... I remember what happened before..." she said looking down, feeling guilty for making Lusius suffer.

"But it wasn't on purpose! I swear I didn't knew that it would happen... i'm sorry for making you suffer Lusius." she said.

After a few moments of silence, she talked again.
"We can use the burnt boards as firewood... Its better than throwing them away, isn't it?" she asked, sending one of her dices (which was flying around her orb until now, together with the cards) in the direction of a board.

The piece of wood she chose was one near the hole in the wall, it was a very big board and it was in terrible state.
The dice stopped just near the board, started to spin and moving slowly towards it. She wanted to be careful to only cut the part that was burned, the rest could still be used in the building.

After a few moments cutting, the board tilted forward and started to fall, but before hitting the ground it started to float.
Shai was pointing at the board with her finger, slowly and carefully moving it outside.

"I'll let it near the door, it can still be used for making fire, isn't that right?"

As she kept helping them, she started to think about Draco and Lusius.
Draco was like a father, always taking care of her and Lusius. She suspected that Lusius and Draco knew each other for a very, very long time by the way they talked and acted.
Lusius on the other hand, although he was a little closed and reserved, he was cute. She wondered what she could do for him to open his heart to her.

You still there ppl?

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

...

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

Question: Is killing bad?

Mitsuki is bleeding and angry XD

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

Got it.
I'm concerned that she somehow evades the attack and resumes her mental attack. I that happens, we're all doomed.

Although I have an idea on how to potentially slaughter everyone in the room that doesn't have magical protection.

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

Messed up the names, I meant Eric, not Desmond.

"before the behemoth of an Animal came crashing down with an arm crumbling upon Freemark's location in the hopes of ending the pathetic woman's life in one instant."

Just wanted to know out of curiosity. Probably she is badly hurt, unconscious or even dead.

If she somehow survived... "things" will happen XD

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

Small question: Is Freemark dead or she was surprised by Eric's transformation and let go of the mental attack for a while?
