Faith stared out the window of the passenger side seat of the car. She sighed at the dull grey scenery. " The day is so depressing! Hey shouldn't we stop for a bite?" Jason turned to Faith " we will eat when we get there, I don't want to waste anytime were Morgan le fey is concerned, who know what she is up to" Faith raised an eye brow "so your not worried about klarion? What a shock I thought after the incident with him turning etregen into his pet that you would be more worried about him" Jason looked ahead at the road. "Klarion and Morgan despise each other; they wouldn't work together again if anything Klarion will do everything in his power to sabotage her." Faith brushed her hand through her hair " I have never met Klarion, what kind of brat is he?" "He's the psychopath kind, he turned his parents into mice and fed them to his familiar" Faith's eyes widened "Wow and I thought Morgan was bad."
Jason and Faith drove up the drive way to the home of Manitou raven. His house was isolated from his neighbors by a good mile. Manitou's house looked like something out a horror movie. Jason approached the door and before knocking was greeted by an open door. Faith and Jason stepped in and found that the outside appearance was nothing but a camouflage. Inside was a very modern, warm looking and elegant home. The color scheme was black, white and shades of grey. Standing in the middle of the entrance way was Manitou raven.
Manitou , Faith and Jason sat at the dinning room table to eat. Manitou served lamb with rice pilaf and sliced sautéed vegetables. Jason looked up from his plate to Manitou. "Dear friend you have been so kind to make dinner for us, the lamb is very tender" Manito looked up "My pleasure its not often that I have company, I prepared your room it has a bathroom Ensuit" Faith immediately looked up "Room?" she looked at Jason as he blushed. Manitou sighed " I am sorry I assumed you and Jason were… together" Faith stuttered " I..m me and Jason are…" Jason interrupted " friends very close friends" Faith looked disappointed and Manitou laughed " Oh my mistake, well it is easily remedied"
After diner the group gathered into the modern living room with a big screen TV. Manitou spoke solemnly " I was shocked to feel magic verberating in the city the way it was, when I investigated I found Morgan and Abra fighting…" Faith spoke up in a interrogating tone " so where was the little witch boy in all this and who cares about Abra?" Manitou looked at Faith " Abra is Klarion's apprentice… I saw that witch abduct the girl Morgan was apparently after. When klarion and Abra left I sent my raven out to try and recapture the crown but all we managed was this" Manitou held up his hand witch held a vile containing long strands of black hair. Jason stood up and grabbed the vile from Manitou. Jason's eyes glowed as he held the vile close to his face "Yes this is Morgan's hair…she is weak right now and desperate" Manitou sighed as he sat down on a nearby sofa " so what is our plan of action?" Jason turned " I think we need some more information and I know the perfect place to go"
Klarion stepped out of his ensuit bathroom with a towel around his torso his hair was wet with no horns. Klarion posed in front of his full lengthen mirror in his bedroom. He smiled wickedly as his hair formed the trade mark horns. He breathed deeply before a knock on the door took him out of his revere. He turned and glared at the door, he snapped his fingers, his clothes formed around him like shadows before settling into his suit/robe. While on the way to his door he paused at the mirror to look at his appearance.
After seeing every thing in order he opened the door. Standing in front of him was Enris.
She meekly looked up from the floor "I am terribly sorry for interrupting your grooming session… Mr. Abra sent me to ask if you would like him to accompany you on your trip."
Klarion's eye twitched with agitation his face turned demonic before responding "let us clear something up I AM THAT DOGS MASTER! HOW DARE HE SEND YOU TO TALK TO ME!," Enris flinched back. " second NEVER INTERRUPT ME UNLESS I GAVE YOU AN ORDER TO DO SO! And last but not least I was bathing NOT GROMING MY SELF I AM NOT TEEKL" Klarion then slammed the door in Enris's face . Klarion growled with anger before he heard silent weeping. He thought to himself 'crying? Really? Why would she be crying?' he turned to the door he frowned sadly 'well she is a girl and girls tend to be weaklings maybe I was a little to mean.. what the hell am I thinking that little wench..' he turned to the door.
Enris wept, she felt ashamed that she had disappointed Klarion. That she had disappointed a man. She knew she had to stop crying, it would probably upset him even more. She didn't mean to anger him but Abra had ordered her to come and ask Klarion for him. She then heard the door open, when she looked up she was greeted by Klarion's chest. Klarion was a good six inches taller then her. She bowed her head and walked back enough to give him space. Klarion turned and walked down the hall he then stopped. He turned his head up and to the side "well come on then don't be a slow I don't have the time". Enris's face light up "yes Master klarion".
Klarion was still adjusting to Enris staying with them. She had been with them for a week now. Klarion could hardly complain she was far less trouble then Abra. Speaking of Abra he needed to have a word with him about using Enris as his servant. Enris was strange Klarion had to admit, he suspected that she had an affinity for the mystic arts. On the other hand she was very intuitive to his wants: if he was in want of a snack Enris was at his side with one in minutes, if he wanted a book or books she would bring him the tomes he wanted, and if he wanted his slippers she would bring them to him. She would do all this with out a word from him. Enris was also very easy to please, a little praise, a kind word or a look of content would send her into a smile. That he could do with out happiness made him sick.
When Klarion and Enris reached the den they were greeted with a very excited Abra.
Abra smiled and proclaimed loudly "Zids Magic shop is in happy harbor! He'll be here for a while! Ooh I cant wait to go I have been wanting some dragon scales oh and some chocolate covered griffin talons! Oh and a.." Klarion couldn't take Abra's blabbing, he soundly smacked him in the face "Enough! Your not even coming with me! I will be going with teekl that's all" Abra looked upset but remained silent. Klarion turned to Enris briefly "I expect dinner when I get back along with dessert". Klarion then disappeared in a wisp of smoke.
Zid was a busy men, he had an inter-dimensional business that catered to both order and chaos. The shop was a good size and was filled with shelves and bins with varies ingredients. The shop also included clothing that he had accepted as trade for ingredients.
Currently Zid had ordered Chinese from wangs express, he couldn't wait for pork fried rice, egg rolls, chowmein , orange chicken and the best part fortune cookies. He walked out from behind the counter and began sweeping the shop. The bell rang for the door as Zid looked up he grind his old friend Klarion just walked in.
Klarion stepped into the shop. Klarion hadn't been in the shop for three months because it moved so much depending on the sway of magic. Klarion was mildly happy to see Zid. Zid was his first really friend since he murdered his parents. The short old man with the big nose and a wart on it smiled as Klarion approached him. "well well look who the cat dragged in! Klarion my boy I haven't seen you in three months!" klarion smiled "I have been busy causing mischief and chaos. Oh and beating the snot out of those want a be hero babies" Zid laughed " I know its all over the mystic either net! I'm glad that you decided to stop being a 12 year old and move up to 17!" Klarion grinned "well I was tired of being short, besides after the Gothem incident with Uncle Jason I just became tired of the whole bit" Zid walked behind the counter and eased him self into the comfy chair, it levitated to bring him to knee level with the counter. "So what can I do for one of my oldest friends?" Klarion looked at Zid, one thing he liked about the man was that he got straight to the point. "I need information on Morgan le fey, if you know anything recent?" Zid stroked his chin "well she recently acquired The Crown Of Aphrodite, according to intel she is planning on using it to permanently restore her youth but.." klarion leaned forward "But?" Zid looked down " I don't know how she could do that, the crown's effects is only temporary" "I see, Zid has anything else interesting happened around here?" Klarion asked. Zid grinned "other than the commotion you caused a week ago? Well a boom tube opened up.." Klarion eyed Zid before interrupting " that is hardly odd, a lot of the superhero zeros use boom tubes with a father box" Zid sighed "that's the thing the boom tube was opened with a mother box". Klarion looked at Zid, "if that is the case, that is strange" Klarion touched his chine "Zid by an chance do you have dragon tong, unicorn powder, ink of a Karachin, blood of a browny and hair of a fairy? Zid smiled " yup and I have it all set for you, you have a hunch?" "maybe" Zid pulled out the box with requested ingredients "kay kid that will cost you a griffin tooth or a leprechaun(sp?) frank" Klarion pulled out from his pocket a griffin tooth and handed it over to Zid. He took the tooth and placed it in a box " thank you, and I hope to see you sooner then 3 months" Klarion turned and walked out of the shop.
Abra was bored out of his mind. He wanted to go with master Klarion but no he had to stay and watch Enris. Abra stood up and walked into the kitchen, it smelled of tomato sauce and apples. Abra sighed as plopped down the kitchen chair. He looked over to the stove where Enris was making caramel sauce. She was a good cook, he had to admit he liked her Danishes. Abra sighed "if you want to kiss Klarion's ass you need to get on your knees" Enris pulled the sauce pan off the stove and placed it on a pot holder. She turned to Abra. "I don't mean to come across like that I just want to please Klarion and you of course, like high father…um well like some one told me it a women's happiness to please men". Abra quirked an eye brow "what kind of fucked up society did you crawl out of… never mind, you shouldn't say that to people some men might get the wrong idea" Enris tilted her head in confusion.
Jason grasped Faith's hand as they walked to Zid's magic shop. Faith turned to Jason "I thought were just friends.. That's what you told raven any ways" Jason sighed as he looked down "I'm sorry I didn't think he should know.." Faith looked at Jason "whatever you jerk…so who is this Zid and why did we have to wait so long to come?" Jason turned to faith " We had to wait for the shop to arrive in this dimension.. we could have gone to him using a portal but that requires to much energy. To answer your other question Zid is the care taker and master of the shop. The shop carries very rare ingredients and spell books plus Zid is very knowledgeable. There is only one back drop Zid sells to all chaos and order alike" Faith turned her head to Jason "and no one has stopped him? Why! He could sell some evil homo-magi a dooms day spell!" Jason laughed "oh he sells to both sides so he is protected he doesn't care witch side wins really" Faith sighed out of exasperation.
Klarion walked out of the shop holding a white box, teelk growled and jumped off Klarion's shoulders. "Teekl what is…ah I see" klarion spotted Jason blood and Faith approaching the shop. Jason Spotted Klarion they froze and went into fighting stance. Faith looked between them and gazed at Klarion. She noted that he was tall, well groomed and slightly muscular. Jason's yelling stirred faith from her thoughts "I was wondering where you were I forgot to thank you for turning me into an old man and trying to kill me" " I would think from out last encounter you would have learned to fear me!" Klarion's hand came ablaze as circled his arms around his head to his waist, in there path red flames fallowed. Jason sprinted forward "gone gone be the form of man rise the demon Etrigan!" Jason in mid run was consumed be yellows flames, soon Etrigan leaped from the flames 4 feet away from klarion and landed hunched to the ground. Etrigan stood up and smiled showing his fangs " if it is not my favorite whelp! I shall imprison you in the depths of tarturs!" Etrigan swung his arms across his chest " eci eht fo mortsleam" A whirl wind formed around klarion lifting him and teekle off the ground "Etrigan still needs incantations how pathetic!" Klarion waved his left hand in front of him, red lighting appeared in the whirl wind it then began to dissolve. Klarion landed on the ground with one leg extended to the side and the other bent underneath him. Klarion snickered as he threw red Eldritch bolts at Etrigan. Etrigan jumped back as the bolts hit the ground inches away from him. Faith then deiced to intervene. She took off flying around Etrigan. She then telekineticly lifted a car up and threw it at klarion. Klarion vanished into smoke right before the car hit. He then reappeared behind faith and fired another bolt. She flew forward and towards the ground. Etrigan caught her before she hit the ground. Faith growled at Klarion "I am going to your EMO Goth butt from here to Metropolis!" Faith then flew towards Klarion throwing psychic blasts as she went. Klarion smiled as he back flipped out of the way. He then raised his hand palm up as a column of fire rose underneath Faith. She screamed as the flam column attacked her. Etrigan taking advantage of the commotion tackled Klarion to the ground. Klarion groaned in pain as etrigan raised his fist to strike Klarion "Now I shall teach you to be a good little whelp" as Etrigan's fist came down klarion turned into wispy black smoke. Klarion then rematerialized in front of Faith. Before she could react Klarion used his hand like a dagger and dove into faiths abdomen. He laughed cruelly as blood spilled out of Faith "Oh Etrigan you play mate is leaking! hahah" Klarion then disappeared into a portal along with teekle. Etrigan stared in horror as faith began to plummet to the ground. He rushed forward and uttered "Dnal ylfas dna etativel!" Faith then leveled and landed safely on her back Etrigan changed back to Jason in mid run. Jason kneeled and picked up faith. He then headed into Zids magic shope.
Zid looked up from his pork fried rice to see Jason blood covered in blood holding a dying women. Zid looked down at the trail of blood from the door to Jason. "your tracking blood into my shop,!" Jason stared at zid "don't just stand there help me!"
Zid walked casually from the counter to the back room while Jason laid Faith onto the floor. " please don't die Faith Please I couldn't live with out you! I have always wanted to tell you that I" Zid walked out of the back room to Jason "Oh shut up you pussy she is going to die so no need to get all soap opera on me!" Zid held up a big a vile of blue powder up. Jason stood up and grabbed the vile he then poured the contents onto Faiths abdomen while chanting "by the power of Apollo I command thy to mend and merge back to what was" Faiths wound began to heal then disappeared. She then sat up and looked at Jason and said weakly "how come you didn't say that back wards?" Jason smiled and held Faith in his arms and kissed her cheek " some incantations work better front wards then back wards" he then laughed a little before a rude grunt interrupted their moment. Zid held up the vile "That wasn't free I am gonna need a some compensation for the powder and the floor" Jason pulled out a gold coin and handed it to Zid who bit it before nodding "this will do so what can I do for you?"
Jason sighed as he and Faith walked out of Zid's shop. "well we learned a bit. I think we need help" Faith moved closer to Jason "from where? I mean doctor fate is still N/A…"
Jason looked forward "from the justice league of course…we will need muscle if what Zid said is true that means she is ten times more dangerous then last time plus Klarion is in the mix and during the fight I felt him holding back a lot" Faith rubbed her abdomen "If that was holding back I don't want to see him at full strength" Jason rubbed the top of Faith's head before kissing it "I wont let him do something like that again to you I promise" Faith smiled at Jason as he guide her to the car.
Manitou Raven arrived at the hall of justice, it was night and the air had become chilly. Jason had called 15minutes ago he had had a fight with Klarion about 45minutes before that. Jason was upset because Klarion had done a real number on Faith. Raven was then stirred from his thoughts by honking Jason and Faith had just arrived.
The group entered the hall and were greeted by Light ray. He was a 6ft tall had a muscular build and dreamy blue eyes toped with strawberry blond hair. He wore a white skin tight costume with gold boots and gold bracelet covers. Faith looked at light ray from the top to the bottom and she was not disappointed. Raven approached light ray with an extended hand. "my old friend thank you for coming" Lightray smiled "It was my pleasure," light ray then walked over to Jason and Faith, he smiled at Faith and grabbed her hand and kissed it. " And who might this lovely young lady be?" Jason frowned and stepped in front of Faith "Her name is Faith and I am Jason Blood" Jason extended his hand to Lightray who shook it. "so Raven what are we dealing with here?" Raven replied to light ray "well I think its better if I show you, come with me to conference room".
The conference room was huge, long thick white pillars were scattered across the room making it appear Greek in architecture. The floors were tiled black and white like a chess board. Raven stepped forward to the large white wall he spread his arms out wide, in his left hand he held his staff which began to glow as he hummed. On the wall appeared a rectangular screen. Raven turned back to the group. "so what I am about to show you is the fight that I saw between Abra, klarion Morgan le fey and the unidentified girl" raven pointed his staff at the screen. The screen changed and started to play the fight. Lighrays eyes widened at the sight of Enris being taken by Klarion he gasped under his breath "Enris" raven looked at light ray briefly.
At the end of the viewing Faith spoke " I think we should change our objectives to finding Klarion and rescuing the girl, I didn't realize how defenseless she was till I saw this.." Jason interrupted Faith "No we need to focus on the crown and getting it from Morgan le fey" Raven asked " But wont Klarion hurt the girl.." Lightray interrupted raven "No Jason is right, the crown is more important Morgan could hurt more people if she isn't stopped" raven looked at Lightray hard before saying " well I guess we will be focusing on Morgan le fey" raven then turned with a look of confusion to Lightray.
After Jason and Faith left to return to Manitou raven's house. Raven approached Light ray "You know the girl don't you?" Lightray turned his head to raven "I don't know what you are talking about" Raven started at Light ray "You said her name…Please Lightray tell me" Lighray sighed "Her name is Enris, trust me she is better off with Klarion then… Raven Please do me a favor" "anything my friend" "Please don't show that fight to Orion Please" Raven looked at Lightray in the eye. He had know Light ray for many years, he knew him longer then he knew the league. Raven knew that Lightray would never ask something like this of him unless it was important. "I promise I wont show this to Orion"
Lightray smiled and shook ravens hand. Both men didn't realize that Orion was in the shadows, Orion growled "how dare he betray High father!"
When Klarion returned home he was greeted by the smell of lasagna and what he hoped was apple pie a la mode. He smiled as he set the box down in his study he then headed to the kitchen. Enris was busy setting the table while Abra watched. He sighed in patiently "how long does it take to set a table! I am hungry!" Enris sighed "oh please be patient Mr. Abra I am going as fast as I can" Klarion walked into the dinning room after watching Abra and Enris "Abra help Enris Now you lazy mutt!" Abra jumped before helping Enris.
Klarion sat at the head of the table as Enris brought out the lasagna and sides. She then moved to cut the lasagna into squares " Is this big enough Master Klarion?" "yes that's fine put some peas and mashed potato's on my plate as well. And some cracked pepper"
Enris complied with Klarion's request and then moved to serve Abra. "Finaly you move so slow! Well I want some lasagna and peas.. Make sure that my peas don't touch my lasagna! And" Klarion glared at Abra "AND NOTHING SERVE YOUR SELF YOU MUTT, ENRIS ONLY SERVES ME!" Enris and Abra flinched, Klarion turned to Enris "Why don't you sit down and eat the dinner you cooked and let the lazy ass over there serve himself" Enris nodded meekly and sat down to dinner.
After dinner Klarion was relaxing by the fire place sipping on red wine. He sighed as teekle jumped on his lap, he petted her behind the ear like she liked. His thoughts drifted a bit mainly on the ingredients that he had purchased. Klarion could only think of one way Morgan could regain her youth permanently and because of that he knew Morgan would not rest till she got her hands on Enris. Which gave Klarion the upper hand, he would make Morgan pay for ruining his plans to destroy uncle Jason. Which reminded him that he need to put those ingredients in there proper place. Klarion lifted himself up from his seat and headed to his study.
Enris walked to Klarion's study, she started at the door for bit. She didn't know if she should go in or not. She had a feeling Klarion need to put something away that he had brought into the study. She usually went with her intuition and most of the time she was right. It had always been that way since she was a young child. Enris took a deep breath before walking into his study. She looked at the room, it was spacious and filled with books. Enris smiled she loved to read and she loved old books which this room had in dozens. Enris wondered in further and found a white box sitting on a table. She opened it and discovered vials and bottles. She took them out of the box and placed them in there proper place or at least where she thought that was. Enris wanted to please Klarion, when She did something Klarion liked it gave her such a good feeling. When Enris was finished she looked around and spotted a book that attracted her attention. She walked to the book and pulled it out of the book case. she flipped through it and realize that it was a spell book. She decide to try a spell out just for fun.
Klarion walked down the hall to his study. He was not looking forward to putting everything away it was such a bother. He groaned as he approached the door he was about to twist the knob when he noticed that the door was already opened. He hurried walked into his study to discover Enris attempting to make a magical construct using one of his books. At first he was angry but as he watched Enris he became fascinated. She was clearly not trained but for her first attempt she was quit adaptive. Klarion sighed as Enris noticed him and broke concentration witched cause the construct to blow. He waved his hand and a shield formed between Enris and the blowing construct. She then looked up at him as he approached her. Klarion grinned " I should beat you but you have great potential, let me show you how to do that spell properly" Klarion moved behind Enris and warped one arm around her waist. "First keep you back straight, chin up and you want to keep air out of you stomach" Klarion emphasized this by placing his hand on her stomach. "And breath in through you nose and out through your mouth" Enris did as Klarion instructed and she made another construct. Klarion smiled she was very adapt at making shields.
At the end of the training Klarion sent Enris to her room. He looked around his study she had put his things away for him which pleased him. He sat down as he looked through the book Enris had picked up. He decided that he would teach Enris some magic, It would help pass the time and entertain him as well.
