"I really don't think the spell worked." I mutered to myself as I looked down at the unconscious form of Yawgmoth lying at my feet. Nudging his forehead with the tip of my boot I stepped back just out of range but he didn't move and I sighed, looking back towards the door I'd left slightly open.
"You were not suppose to be here." I added with a sigh and after a pause I hurried towards the door, quickly tugging it closed just as I heard a groan. Once the door clicked shut I turned quickly enough to see Yawgmoth stir, his eyes opening. Chewing my lower lip I rushed over wondering how I was going to explain to Jace how I had managed to rip one of the Multiverse's worst villians out of the past and directly into the Ravnica library.
"Jace's going to be so pissed at me. He told me not to mess with any of the ancient tomes but did I listen? Of course not." I grumbled, moving to Yawgmoth's side as he struggled to get his feet under him. "No, you stay there while I think of something to tell Jace. Hopefully I can send you back before you cause any trouble." I said, kneeling as Yawgmoth managed to sit but he pushed my hand away when I tried in vain to keep him on the floor and I cringed, rising at the same time as he did.
"You brought me here?" He growled, rubbing at a growing headache that had formed between his eyes and when I slowly nodded he rose to his full height easily dwarfing me. "How dare you!" He snapped, his golden eyes narrowed at me as he advanced a step and I reacted, swinging my fist.
I remember aiming for his face but due to our height difference I only managed to clip his chin though the blow had enough strength behind it to force a grunt of pain from the physician's lips before he stumbled back a step. Even though the force of the blow should have rendered him unconscious immediately, mostly due to my unnatural strength, Yawgmoth still managed to rub at his now painful jaw his golden eyes blazing with anger.
For all of his anger at being struck he only managed a single step towards me his fist raised before he gave a groan and with a crash fell head first into the floor, leaving me a little shocked.
"Did not mean to do that. Now what am I going to do with you?" I whispered, looking down at the crumbled form of Yawgmoth who offered no answer. "Well since I don't know exactly how to send you back, yet anyway, I guess I can find somewhere to hide you. The question is where."
Eventually I settled for the basement of my new home, the original having been demolished after Ravnica was 'visited' by Nicol Bolas. I managed to recover most of my books but the rest of the building had to be demolished so Jace very kindly moved me to a temporarey building a block from the old Guildpact meeting place.
If anyone found it odd that I had Yawgmoth drapped over one of my shoulders they made no comment, too busy to care while they were rebuilding so I managed to get home without anyone asking questions.
Once I pushed open the door, no point locking it since I had nothing of value to steal (who would after a major catastrope like Bolas?) I dumped Yawgmoth on the floor just inside the building. Stretching my arms above me I looked down at him wondering how I was going to explain the presence of Yawgmoth in my house. "Guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Now let's see if I can find something to keep you from wandering off until I can send you back. Hopefully before anyone notices you're here." I whispered not expecting an answer as I moved towards the living room and the cupboards I hadn't had a chance to search.
