To zantarak- oh my gods, where did he go? :O :O :O


Louisa rolled with a second to spare. Her leg screamed wildly in agony, as if rammed with needles of lava. The blade sank into the stone where she had been. The eidolon screeched in protest; the weapon was stuck.

That wasn't the spirit's only problem.

It had greatly underestimated its new host.

Calypso voiced her own protest, furiously wrenching her hands from the sword.

"Noooo!" She growled, pained, through her teeth. She gripped her head, as if primed to tear it from her neck. "This-is-my-body! Get-out!" Her legs launched her backwards, colliding with several skulls. She grunted and toppled to her knees, elbows scraping on the wet stone and yelling in Minoan.

Louisa wasn't sure who was in control here, taking this distraction to safely recover her sword.

"Callie!" She pushed herself up, crawling to her friend, sickened with each movement of her broken leg. "Hey, hey, you've got this." The eidolon snarled and took a wild swing at her. Louisa knocked the attack on her forearm.

"You will not hurt my friends!" Calypso ordered, her voice stronger and fearsome. "This is my body and these are my friends and you will leave NOW!" Her head snapped to the left and she sneered.

"You can't make me!" The eidolon taunted. "I can go to whomever I want and a lowly mortal like you can't stop me!"

"Watch me." Calypso snarled, closing her eyes. She moved stiffly, grimacing and flinching with the internal battle, eventually sitting cross-legged. She set her hands in her lap, determination lining her features. Louisa sat back, stunned.

Groaning behind her; she looked over her shoulder to see Leo grimacing at her. She frowned, squinting suspiciously. He squinted back, his eyes their normal colour. She waved her hand and the ice around his mouth dissolved. She willed it to heal his nose and clean his face.

"Excuse me." He said, while she healed him from an injury he could not recall. "But I think you've iced me."

"Oh, you're fine."

"Why's Cal look like she's constipated?"

"Eidolon."

"Oh. Oh." Flames sparked in his hair and he pouted. "I hate those guys. Let me down." Louisa faced Calypso again. Her healing water fell, sliding down his entrapment. Leo huffed. "Rude."

Calypso grimaced. Louisa hopped into a crouch, keeping her weight on her good leg, ready to move. Move where, she did not know yet, but she was ready for it. Golden sparks crackled like electricity on Calypso's arms. Her head lolled, snapping back up less than a second later. The gold of the eidolon burned brighter in her eyes, it screamed through her, angry and failing. Calypso's tones cut through, defiant and forceful. Gold light circled her body, rising rapidly into a point above her head.

Leo swore. "No way." He breathed. Calypso punched upwards with both fists, yelling one last burst of challenge. The gold surged under her force, striking the ceiling of their tunnel. It cascaded across the stone; the catacombs shook for it. Skulls seemed to giggle and chatter under its flickering.

Louisa did have to move. Forward. Calypso pitched forward, eyes rolling back in her head. Louisa caught her, cushioning her head on her shoulder. She glanced back at Leo. "Um…" He said. "How did she do that?" How was she supposed to know? Seeing his confusion mirrored on her, Leo sighed, squirming. "Can I get down now? I think there's a skull trying to eat my spine."
