The Holy Blade
Chapter 12
After the demon attack in the temple Giles spent the rest of the afternoon looking over the runes on the walls trying to translate them while the rest of the group found other ways to entertain themselves.
Willow began to drill Piper and Phoebe on various magic related subjects. Buffy was trying not to glare at Paige for having stolen her Xander shaped friend from her and Willow. Xander had moved to a more open part of the room and began going through different sword katas while Paige watched.
After a while a shout from Giles had caught everyone's attention and the group then moved over to where the former watcher was standing.
"What's up G man?" Xander asked as he walked over.
"I believe that I have found out when Selabdule will return, and don't call me that," Giles responded.
"When?" Buffy asked, staring at the wall.
"Well according to these symbols Selabdule will return during the next solar eclipse," Giles said while gesturing to the different symbols on the wall.
"That's only a week away," Piper said to the former watcher.
"Then I suggest we double our efforts," Giles responded.
With that said Piper quickly called Leo and Chris who orbed in quickly. After they had explained to them what happened the group went different ways in order to prepare. Buffy, Willow, and Giles returned to the hotel with Chris's help to research. The Charmed ones returned to the manor to double-check on any information they may have missed. Leo took Xander back to the old warehouse so he could continue his training with Daystar.
By the time Leo and Xander returned to the manor Xander was able to tap into a larger part of the mystical swords power and had also learned several new sword forms and meditation techniques. He was also sore as hell.
"That was not fun," Xander muttered as he fell into one of the couches in the Halliwell's living room.
"What wasn't fun?" Paige asked as she walked into the room and sat down on Xander's lap.
"Nothing, learn anything new?" Xander asked the red headed witch on his lap.
"No, but Piper was able to cook up some powerful potions that we think should come in handy," Paige answered.
"Well that's better than nothing," Xander said, wrapping his arms around the witch.
"How did the training go?" Paige asked the man whose lap she was sitting on.
"Not too bad, I can tap into more of Daystar's power," Xander responded.
"Cool, what happens," Paige asked with interest.
"Well, I can move faster and I can channel the energy through the blade to give it a magical supercharge," The one-eyed man answered with a smile.
"That should really help out down the line," Paige responded.
"Yeah it should, but I still can't wait till I can channel all of Daystar's power," Xander said back with a look of longing in his eye.
"You won't be able too," Leo said, finally joining the conversation.
"What! Why not?" Xander asked, slightly pissed.
"Because no ones body could handle that much energy, if you tried you would turn yourself into a pile of ashes, you will probably only be able to channel no more than ten percent of the sword's power," Leo explained.
"You could have mentioned that sooner," Xander said to the elder.
"Sorry," Leo responded sheepishly.
Xander was about to continue to rip into the elder for forgetting to tell him that little bit of information sooner but a much more important sound caught his attention.
"Dinner's ready," Piper called.
"Food!" Xander yelled and quickly took Paige off of his lap and ran into the kitchen leaving a laughing witch and elder behind.
Later, after everyone had finished dinner, Xander decided to head back to the hotel to check in with Giles to see if he or anyone else had found anything new that they could use.
"Never gonna get used to that," Xander muttered after Paige orbed them into a room at the hotel containing a surprised Buffy, Willow, and Giles. "Hey guys, find anything?" Xander asked as he and Paige sat down.
"Only things that we already know," Giles responded as he closed the book in front of him.
"Faith went out to see if she could find any demon bars she could get info from," Willow said to the pair.
"Faith's back," The raven-haired slayer said as she walked into the room with a sour look on her face.
"Didn't find anything I take it," Paige said to the slayer.
"Not a damn thing," Faith replied as she fell into a chair.
"I have a strong feeling that we are screwed," Xander said glumly to the group as they all grabbed books to try and find anything new.
End Chapter 12
I am sorry that this chapter is short but I am badly sun burned right now and very tired from my lifeguard training classes, I will try to get the next chapter out early next week. And it will be longer
