Back in Ramsa...

"Is this where they are going to be?", said the Servant. The Lady stood motionless at the Servants side. The Man spoke, " They left already... they were here some time ago... looks like your timing was off." The Lady turned and away from him and said, "It has been too long since I have had to think about 'time' at all... on that note don't you think we look a little conspicuous?" The servant was twitching nervously and said in a broken voice, " One of your old friends was here m'lords."Really? Which one?", they both said together. "The Witch. And by the looks of it someone was with her, but whoever it was was cloaking his identity so I can't be sure." " Where did they go?" "Torwards California it seems."

Back in the Single Earth California HQ...

The witches seemed to have lost their minds. Niklos was smashed to the walls before he even noticed anything. He very nearly almost died. If he hadn't been expecting an attack every second he might not have been able to dodge the strikes that were coming at him from every direction. First one of the witches sent an enormous amount of power at him. He deflected it into another witch that was thrusting her hand staright for his heart. He felt her life slip away. Then he grabbed the wrist of the other witch and slammed her into yet another witch that was moving her legs in a sweeping kick. He pushed some of his power and stopped their hearts. As he did however he noticed something. There was another tendril of power in there that did not belong to the witches. It was retracting everytime he killed one as if attempting to evade his detection. Two more witches appeared and this time he made a concentarted effort at throwing off this 'other power' from the witches. Their eyes seemed to focus and then they collapsed, but still alive. Something was controlling them. He couldn't believe Christopher did not notice anything. Then he suddenly realized he could not sense anything out of the room as if something was confining his aura sensing abilities. The whole building seemed to be cloaked in this power. He had to go and find Christopher old-school.

Sara Vida was walking down a dusty road in the middle of nowhere. "Actually its Idaho." said Eserven. "What? Oh... don't go in my head ok?" " I was merely demonstrating that you need to keep your guard up at all times. We got lucky back there." " I can barely even remember what happened..." "Whats important now is that we head west. If we don't hurry..." "Well why don't we teleport again?" " We are being followed. I want to walk a few arpents... I mean meters. I don't think it will be so easy for them that way." Sarah noticed his voice seemed out of place his mind was definetly else-where at the moment. "Wait... arpent?", Sarah said with a laugh. He responded, "I was thinking about something else. I don't need your permission to reminisce do I?" "You've been a lot more...sarcastic lately." Eserven looked away form her for a very long time before he said anything. "Many things I did not want have come to pass. Things I have prevented for a very long time have happened. Is it not...reasonable to be angry?" "Ya I guess it is..." " I think we have gone far enough. Lets teleport. Oh and be ready to fight."
