Signals
It was a normal day back at the treehouse, everyone woke up did their chores, had lunch, but Roxton couldn't quite focus on any of this, he was still thinking about the dream he had the week before, the one where he saw his Marguerite.
"When the time comes." she said, "but when would it happen?" he kept thinking of this and the more he thought the more he wandered if he was going crazy over nothing.
At evening that day they all sat around the table talking about trivial things:
"So what is London like?" asked Finn
"Oh it's a big and modern city, full of great construction buildings with the most cruel society one could ever seen" answered Challenger
"You sound upset about it."
"Well yes, when he first talked about the plateau in the Zoological Society he was called crazy." replied Roxton "And so he had no money for the expedition."
"Well that of course until Marguerite came in and." Challenger broke of when he saw the angry looks from Veronica and Finn. They had been trying to ovoid everything that made Roxton remember Marguerite. "I'm sorry Roxton..."
"Its okay Challenger I'm sure Marguerite will be back more soon than we think" he replied
"How so?"
Roxton realising the way he said things quickly covered the meaning of the sentence, he knew that if he told his companions about the dream they'll only get more worried about him. "Just an instinct"
"Hey is anybody home?" they heard a voice calling.
They all went to the balcony, but maybe they were not ready to see what they saw. Ned Malone was home, after months of self-discovery he was home.
"Ned!" Veronica shouted.
"Veronica! When did you came back?" he said
"I'll send the elevator down" Challenger shouted as well
When the elevator reach the top and Malone stepped in Veronica threw herself at his neck and hugged him tightly.
"I thought I'd never see you again" he said
"So do I" she replied and smiled
"Challenger" Ned said after a few moments hugging Veronica "Roxton! How are you?" He stopped when he saw Finn
"Hi" she said a little shyly
"This is Finn Ned she comes from the future."
"Future?" he asks intrigued
"Well 2033, to be precisely" she said "Not a very good year"
After all the formal presentations were done, they all sat around the table drinking and celebrating Ned's return. After a few moments Roxton excused himself of the table and went to the balcony. He still could hear them though, laughing and talking. And that ripped every peace of his heart, because he knew that Marguerite would had loved to be there celebrating with them.
Later he was joined by Malone.
"So I've heard about Marguerite.You okay?" he asked
"Yeah I suppose that now I know what you felt when Veronica was missing too"
....................................
"Marguerite?"
She turns around to face him.
"Roxton" She runs to hug him.
"Are you real?" he asked returning the hug
"In your dreams yes." She smiles and turns her face to him "I came to your dream to warn you."
"About what?"
"Beware of dreams and signals they usually are nothing good."
"What do you mean?"
"Just look after Malone, he's in great danger, he's been having strange dreams..."
"What are you talking about?"
"Just promise you'll protect him." she looks pleadingly at him
"I.I promise"
"Thank you. I must go now." her picture starts to vanish
"Wait when will I see you again? The real you?"
"Soon. Soon my love." And with that she's gone.
Roxton woke up. He had been asleep in a chair while he was reading a book in his room.
"God am I going crazy?"
....................................
Over the next tree days everything went normal, and Roxton was having a hard time not thinking about his dream or his 'madness'.
"So Malone what exactly did you do during our self-discovery trip?" asked Finn one morning during breakfast.
"Well I." he was interrupted by Assai's voice.
"Professor Challenger, Roxton, Veronica."
"Assai?"
"I have something to ask you"
"We'll send the elevator down" said Challenger
"Thank you Professor"
When Assai stepped out of the elevator and greeted the explorers she went straight to the point:
"I came to ask to come with me, my people and I fear that Saros is trying to come back again, our fields are marked with his signals."
"Signals?" Roxton suddenly interrupted
"Yes, we believe that he's trying to return." Assai explained "But the only way he could return is by someone else's body. At least that's what our shaman said."
"So all we have to do is discover by whom he wants to return." Veronica exclaimed
"Malone" said Roxton
"Hm?" he said
"No, I mean that Saros will return by Malone."
"What are you saying? How do you know that?" asked a worried Veronica
"I.um."
"Well it as a certain logic tough" Challenger interrupted "Malone is the only one, aside from Marguerite, that has a bond with Saros."
"Wait a second, who is Saros?" asked Finn
"Saros is some sort of demon that once was man, he used do kill his victims and drink their blood." Explained Veronica
"Ouch. I haven't seen this guy but he's already giving me the creeps." Said Finn "So all we have to do is protect Malone, right?"
"But we don't even know if it's him."
"Well we could see that." said Assai
"How?" asked Malone
"Have you been having strange dreams lately?" asked Roxton
"Well.actually yes. Why?
"What kind of dreams?" asked Assai looking surprised to Roxton.
"About.about the spirit world."
"Why haven't you told us?" asked Veronica a little hurt about the lack of trust from Ned.
"They are just dreams."
"Do you hear Saros voice in your dream?" asked Assai
"I don't think so, I keep hearing people screaming and begging for mercy, I don't think that even if I wanted to I would hear him."
"I must speak to the shaman, but I can't risk leaving you here to come back with him, you must come with to the Zanga village, the shaman will be able to tell us if you're the one that Saros has chosen."
"I'll pack." Said Finn
"I'll help." Challenger offered.
....................................
When they arrived the Zanga Village they were greeted by Zanga warriors.
"It's alright they are friends." Replied Assai to the warriors in their native thong. Then she turned to face the explorers "We must keep protection, my people is frighten, somehow a few believe that you are the cause of all of this."
"Why?" inquired Challenger
"They fear Malone, because he came back from the dead."
"Oh boy"
"But don't worry most of all, think you're a God. I will talk with the shaman to see what we can do."
....................................
"This is crazy!!" exclaimed Finn a few hours late "How longer she'll keep us waiting?"
After she spoke this, Assai and the shaman walked out of the tent.
The shaman begun to speak:
"We must exorcise you, Saros still in you."
"Exorcise?" said a nervous Malone
"How can Saros still be in Malone?" asked Roxton
"The force that protect is no longer near him, it's far away and cannot use its power, and then Saros took over him and his dreams." He explained
"Is this exorcise thing, painful in any way?" asked Veronica visibly worried
"No, but I don't know if it's not too late. We must begin right away."
....................................
Malone was in some sort of altar surrounded by a circle of fire and the others were outside of it, where they could see everything. It was almost midnight.
"What if it doesn't work?"
"Calm down Veronica, you'll only make it worse for everybody and yourself" said Finn "Everything's gonna be fine."
"She's right, relax." Agreed Challenger
By midnight the ceremony began, the shaman said that he would chant and then he would obligate Saros to live that body. After what seemed like an eternity the explorers saw Malone starting to convulse.
"What's happening?" they asked Assai
"He's ordering Saros to live Malone's body. But it seems that is not working"
"Maybe he's done something wrong." Suggested Finn
"No, I think that maybe is too late."
"No I won't accept it!" cried out Veronica
Malone's body was convulsing more and more every minute.
"To this rhythm he may not be able to resist." Said Challenger
The shaman was still chanting, when suddenly a thunder rushed the skies and a light begun to glow in front of them. As their eyes adjust to the light, they saw a woman in a white dress addressed with silver and gold and tough they could not see her face everyone thought that she was beautiful; she walked towards Malone and said some words in an unknown language and they heard a scream of agony, then they saw what seemed like Saros spirit being dragged by the same light which the woman appeared.
She walks towards the explorers and stops in front of Roxton to whisper in his ear.
And then as she went, suddenly, she also vanish without a trace.
"What's going on? Did it worked?" they all turn to face a confused Ned.
....................................
"That light and that woman, I'm sure I saw it somewhere." said Veronica.
It has been a week since Malone exorcism. They all had returned to the treehouse. At first they all asked what did the woman whispered in Roxton's ear, but they all got the same answer: 'I couldn't understand'. They knew he was lying but he didn't matter, all was well with Malone.
"Really? When?" asked Malone. They were all around the kitchen table
"I don't know, it may have been just a dream, but when I was trying to save the plateau, I saw someone just like her before I collapse."
"Well that is intriguing, and do you remember anything else?"
"I don't know, I."
Roxton was sitting by the end of the table. He kept thinking about what she said: 'I love you, never forget that, soon we will be together again.' But how? Where was she? Was she dead? And if she was does it mean that he would to die soon to be with her? "Marguerite wherever you are, I'll find you" he thought
And somehow, in Avalon, as if it was hearing Roxton's thoughts, Marguerite manage to smile.
