The Storm Part 3
"Hmm, that's interesting. Said Demona across town as she lounged in her chair playing with a dagger. "That's very interesting."

Now on with the show!
That day on Avalon, "Ah-ah-ah- ACHOO!" sneezed Oberon. Sniff. "Are you alright love?" asked Titania. "Hmph, to believe one of the human superstitions, I think someone's talking about me."
Later in the mortal world........
"So the fey are vulnerable not only to iron but also to sound! Aha! This will help me get rid of that annoying pest Puck and get that little brat of Xanatos'. Once I have him, I'll be able to do anything and Goliath won't be able to stop me without risking my hurting the little whelp. Oh the irony, Goliath done in by a single little human spawn, how delightful. And then this world will be ours for the taking!"
Nightstone Unlimited employees unfortunate enough to get the late shift squirmed in their seats as an evil, chilling laugh rang through the building, many wishing they were anyplace but there.

"How high a pitch are we talking about Owen?" asked Xanatos as he walked through the great hall to the elevators. "I've seen you go through different situations with high pitches before and nothings happened."
"Nothing as of yet sir. If a pitch is high enough it will make a human's ears bleed even if they themselves cannot hear it. Human hearing is rather limited when compared to other mammals and gargoyles. Elven ears can pick up, quite literally, the drop of a feather from the top of the castle and hear it as a small explosion when it lands. Their ears are pointed, allowing for more than 200 times the sound waves that a human hears to be collected and sent to the inner ear."
"So even sub-sonics can be heard then?" asked Xanatos curiously.
"Yes. Anything that a mortal can or cannot hear, a Fey can." Replied Owen.
Xanatos smirked, "Hmm, could we add that to the castle defenses in case my.........in-laws........ever decide to 'visit' again?"
"Indeed sir, however if in the event that this would be used against their Majesties or any of the Children it would have to be in the event of Fox, Alexander, the gargoyles and myself being preferably in another country. May I suggest the South Pole?" Owen said as he pushed the button for the 57th floor. "It would not only destroy the hearing of any unwanted guests but also the hearing of anyone of elven blood as well. Not to mention the damage it would cause to any human hearing as well."
"Hmph, that rules that out. Although it would be nice to have a trump card like that in case of an emergency." Xanatos groused as they left the elevator and headed down the hallway. "But I won't risk my families hearing as well as yours and the gargoyles simply to get rid of a fey. I'll just beef up the Iron Clan and let them deal with it."
"A wise choice sir, it would be more expedient to do so." replied Owen dryly as he opened the door to the conference room where the Mulitcat team was waiting to present their report. "Wise indeed."
Meanwhile at Nightstone Unlimited, Demona was beginning to design a device that would further her plans and take back the gargoyles rightful place in the world, on the top of it all!
