that's your warning. Also sorry for the long wait, between switching computers, school, planing my month long trip to japan and being sick writing kinda took a back seat. I don't own anything except Enris Celestia. Enjoy
….
Three weeks had gone by, along with that had come changes in the weather. The sky constantly looked like grey smoke and the temperature had dropped. Klarion enjoyed this weather, he loved how depressing it was. The trees had lost most of their leaves and the ground had turned a grey brown. Klarion closed his eyes, stretched his arms out and began to take deep breaths through his nose. Teekle was currently acting as a heating pad around Klarion's neck. He brought his arm up to Teekles neck and petted her. He looked out at the city, white puffs showed how slow his breathing had become. Slowly Klarion turned on his heel and walked back to his tower.
Klarion's home was similar to Doctor Fates, it too was a castle like tower. Klarion could move his tower at will to a different location. He could also manipulate the space inside the tower and make new rooms if he wished. Klarion adored his home because there he felt truly settled. He could move to different parts of the world or universe and still have a root to call his own. He had gone for centuries with only Teekle. He had only taken Abra as an apprentice just because he had become lonely. He was beginning to be reminded of his isolation to the world mainly because of Enris.
Enris her self was not invasive, though her presence was. Klarion was reminded of the fact that for all the time that he had lived he ultimately still felt empty. He never really had a playmate or intimate relationship with someone that lasted longer then a couple of days. He had stayed a young child for long time looking for that type of companionship. Klarion looked down at the ground in mid contemplation as a tear escaped his left eye. He decided to let himself age to a degree because he gave up on the idea that the facade of a child would allow him to find that companionship. The conflicting battle between his ego and his emptiness was an all consuming chaos. One side wished to kill Enris and end his conflict. He was fighting himself and that sent chills up his spine.
Klarion returned to his home a short time later, he wore a sober look on his face as he walked to Enris's room. He knocked twice before the door opened to reveal the meek blond that he was looking for. He looked down at her "lets head down stairs for training, I want to see if your reaction time has improved." Enris nodded before quickly following him.
Klarion had been training Enris for the past three weeks. He noted with some intrigue that she picked things up quicker then Abra. She was also very intuitive when it came to magic. Klarion enjoyed training Enris more then Abra mainly because she seemed far more grateful then him.
Klarion and Enris approached the lower rooms. The lower levels of the tower were very cold and drafty. Enris would never go to the lower levels by herself, mainly because they frightened her. Klarion didn't exactly have light switches down there, when he or Abra came down the semi-spiral stair case they magically lit the torches as they went. Enris could not do that. Enris was as Klarion put it a foal compared to him or Abra, she was still working on reaction time and speed. Klarion had only taught her how to defend her self. So far she knew how to camouflage, disguise her self as some one else, render normal people unconscious, and create non-solid illusions. Enris was barley able to make a shield. She had a feeling that she would have
to perfect it very soon Klarion wasn't exactly patient.
Klarion had arrived at two large red double doors. He turned to see Enris hurrying along. She stopped in front of him "sorry master I cant quiet step down two at a time" Klarion ignored her statement and turned to open the double doors. Behind the double doors was what appeared to be an outside court yard but it was actually magic simulating the outside environment. Klarion had
explained awhile back that they were still inside the tower just inside a very large room. Klarion walked into the room first followed by Enris. As they passed the doors thresh hold their cloths changed to suit cold weather.
Klarion started with some warm-up breathing and exercises. One of the warm-ups was sitting cross legged on the floor and meditating, the goal was to levitate while meditating. Then they went over what Enris had learned so far and perfecting it. Then came the part Enris feared. Klarion positioned Enris's stance so that she carried her weight evenly on both feet. Klarion placed his hands on her hips and whispered close to her ear " when you move, move with your hips first and keep your weight even," Klarion then side stepped (with his hands still on her hips) bring Enris with him. "Now I am going to attack you and I want you to protect your self, I am going to attack you from different directions, keep up or burn". Klarion then slowly let go of her.
Enris stood tentatively as Klarion positioned him self in a short kokutsu-dachi* stance with his right hand extended out with his arm slightly bent, his left hand was at abdomen level in a fist. Klarion started at Enris with a hard combat ready look "Lets begin". Klarion sent out a small electric blast towards Enris who jumped out of the way. When she looked up Klarion was gone. She was about to stand up when she caught sight of another bolt. She turned and made a shield, The shield broke right away and Enris was thrown back. Klarion sent another blast towards Enris. She quickly jumped out of the way. Klarion then took off running after her sending blasts as he went. She was able to dodge most of them and some she blocked with a shield. Her shields at first broke apart by single blasts but as the combat progressed she was able to hold onto them longer. At the end of combat Enris's clothes had burn marks and she was scraped here and there. Enris stood shaking a little, she was exhausted and her body ached. Even though she looked like hell she had a smile on her face. Klarion walked to Enris and stood infront of her "well done, your shields improved, tomorrow if I have nothing to do we will start spell training, now lets go up stairs Abra is supposed to bring sushi for dinner". Klarion passed Enris and opened up the double doors.
As Enris and Klarion entered the top floor they were greeted by Teekle who rubbed up against her master. Klarion smiled and picked up the feline. Enris stretched her arms above her head and sighed as they slightly cracked. She relaxed and headed for the kitchen. Klarion stared at Enris's retreating form. Teekle meowed at him, he looked down "ooh realy? Mm maybe I should take a look". Klarion walked down the hall towards Enris's room. He stopped at the door, it opened by its self for him. He stepped inside, he inhaled deeply the scent of the room, It smelled of Enris. He walked over to her bed and plopped down. He laid back as Teekle jumped onto his chest. She meowed repeatedly at him before he turned his head towards the dresser. Klarion closed his eyes before opening his mouth "so it in the dresser huh? And you think it important because she hid it? Teekle I think that you are bored and trying to start trouble, or loosing it, old age and all " Teekle hissed as he stood up and walked over to the dresser. He pulled the top drawer open to be greeted by panties. Klarion grabbed one of panties, pink lacy one and held it up to teekle "these are called panties Teekle girl's wear them to cover there lady parts, and they spend a lot of time looking at them to pick the one that matches there outfits!" Teekle meowed and then hissed Klarion sighed as he dug further into the drawer "I'm not seeing anything tee.. wait what's this?" Klarion pulled out a small velvet bag with a gold draw string. He opened the bag up and looked inside. Inside the bag were pieces of an electronic looked up at teekle and pulled the draw string closed. He then placed the bag in his pocket. " I think I have a job for Abra"
Klarion left Enris's room quickly before he was spotted. He then walked to the dinning room where Abra had just arrived from Ryorisuru noga Sushi. Abra placed three large plastic bags on the table as Enris went to the kitchen to get plates. Klarion sat down at the table and whispered to Abra "I have something that I need you to look at, ". Klarion looked at the door way
before handing Abra the purple bag. Abra took the bag from Klarion, he opened the draw string and looked inside. Abra raised an eye brow at Klarion before responding " A mother box? Why are you showing me pieces of a mother box?" Klarion grinned "Is there enough to find its last origin?" Abra smiled "to any one else no but to me not a problem". Klarion laced his
fingers " Then find it for me and don't let it slip to anyone about it". Klarion then quickly leaned back in his chair as Enris came in with the plates and drinks.
After dinner which was amusing to say the least, apparently where Enris was from they didn't have sushi. So Klarion watched as Enris poked the sushi before eating. She made a discover, she liked raw fish. Klarion walked to his room on the way there he stopped by Enris's room. He felt like going in and talking to her but that just wasn't in him. He continued on and past his room in favor of his study. He had a fae* to find.
Teekle had just taken a cat nap near the fire place and had decided that she needed some male attention. She trotted across the hall to the study where she felt Klarion was. As she peaked from the door, she saw Klarion's back, he lifted his shoulders up along with his arms above his head. Klarion turned to the door "ah Teekle so good of you to come just when I need you, close the
door" Teekle came into the room and rubbed the door closed. She walked to Klarion and pounced onto his shoulders.
Klarion petted her before turning towards the chalk circle he had created. Klarion raised his arm to the side, he breathed deeply before the chalk circle began to glow a teal blue. He threw his head back with a smile as symbols began to form on the circle. He raised his head slowly as he
opened his eyes which glowed red. He muttered incoherent words rapidly. The circle radiated blue smoke which formed into a sphere. The sphere glowed before klarion uttered "The fae know as Morgan le fey". The sphere cleared and became a glass-like bubble which showed a castle like building in the middle of a field. Klarion laughed manically as he walked to the sphere. He placed his hands on sphere "Now Morgan I will make you pay, I will make sure you stay an ugly hag for thwarting my chance at killing Uncle Jason"
The next morning was busy. Enris was woken up very early by Teekle, who demanded breakfast. She went to work right away making blue berries muffins and waffle batter. As placed the muffins in the oven Abra dragged himself into the kitchen. He sat down at the kitchen table before getting up again muttering. He went to the refrigerator and pulled out a carton of orange juice. He set the carton on the table before asking Enris "Hey when are those things in the oven going to be ready?" Enris turned her head slightly "it shouldn't be that long I used the medium sized muffin tin" Abra grunted as Klarion walked into the kitchen. Klarion took a deep breath before saying "Ah blue berry muffins, thats the way to start a morning!" He then sat down at the kitchen table as Teekle jumped up onto the table. Enris pulled the muffins out of the oven and placed them on a rack to cool. She then opened the waffle iron and poured the batter into it and closed it. After making about 8 waffles she cooked a side of bacon. When she was done cooking she placed the plater of waffles on the kitchen table along with the muffins which had been removed from the tin and placed in a basket. She then brought the strips of bacon and scrambled eggs onto a big serving platter. Mean while Abra took out the plates, silver wear and napkins. Klarion watched as Abra and Enris placed everything on the table. When the commotion settled they sat down and ate.
After breakfast, Klarion asked Enris to make him and Abra a packed lunch. Abra walked out to the living room with Klarion and his suitcase. He set them down before asking Klarion "why do we need this stuff? Why don't we teleport to the dame place?" Klarion turned his head "Morgan would sense a teleportation spell and we would lose our element of surprise, this way she wont suspect anything" Abra nodded with agreement.
Enris came out to the living room carrying a very big lunch box which she handed to Abra. She then turned to Klarion "Is there anything else I can do for you?" Klarion looked down at Enris "No you have done enough for today," she smiled and asked "when will you be back?" "We wont be back till late, don't bother making dinner for us, stay in the tower and if I have any calls don't answer them" Enris nodded before bowing. Klarion stepped back and raised his arms to shoulder level, smoke then began to envelop him and Abra. When the smoke dissipated they were gone.
Klarion and Abra reappeared out side the tower where a black car was parked. Abra had rented it out the day before. Klarion opened the passenger side and slipped inside while Abra packed everything up. He then opened the divers side door and slipped inside then he started the car.
Jason and Faith sat in Manitou Raven's living room. They had just found Morgan le fey's location and were currently making travel plans. Raven and LightRay were devising a spell to immobiles Morgan. Jason looked at Faith and moved in for a quickly kiss. Faith responded back eagerly. Jason pulled away and cupped Faiths chin. Faith sighed as she cupped his hand "Why so sudden? You haven't been very affectionate lately I thought that.." Jason placed a finger on her lips "No my darling, I love you I have just been nervous and under a lot of stress but I promise when we get a moment alone, I will make you mine" He kissed her again.
Raven poured over his spell books, finalizing his spell while Lightray gathered ingredients. Raven arched his back straight and turned in the small study. He had been asking Lightray how he knew about Enris and why he was so leery about others from the Justice League seeing the video. The response from Lightray usually was something evasive. Raven taped Lightray's
shoulder lightly, Lightray turned to see the look on Raven's face. Raven stood straight and set his jaw before saying "Lightray My dear friend I want a straight answer from you, if I don't get one I will find one at the hall of justice so tell me who is Enris? why was she being chased by morgan?" Lightray sighed "Well…"
Klarion and Abra were driving down a desolate highway. Klarion sighed as he stared out the window. Klarion growled irritatingly "Im bored! There is nothing but god dame maple trees to look at!". Abra just growled and continued to driving. Klarion then began to kill birds that passed over head. Abra began to swerve the car to avoid the falling bird carcasses from hitting the windshield. Klarion laughed maniacally as the car swerved. Abra yelled "would you cut that out! I don't want to have an accident" Klarion looked at Abra, his eyes glowed red and his voice became demonically deep " how dare you talk to me like that, if I wasn't in such a rush to get to Morgan I would snap your neck in twain!" Abra flinched back and quickly apologized.
After about an hour, Klarion looked at Abra "so want to talk or something? Killing birds got boring" Abra smirked "well Teekle said something very interesting, she said that she caught you and Enris necking in the hall way" Klarion quickly turned his head in Abra's direction "maybe it happened maybe it didn't" Abra smiled "well Teekle is adamant that you were necking, you didn't kiss her lips but that you kissed her neck" Klarion slouched in his seat "Why are you asking?" Abra let out a tense breath "well its not like the four of us have an active social life and maybe in a way I am morbidly curios about what kind of love life a lord of chaos-" Klarion growled "we don't have love life's!" Abra raised an eyebrow before turning back to the road.
Jason and Faith had just finished finalizing perpetrating for their spell when Manitou Raven walked into the living room. "friends, me and Lightray have found Morgan, she is somewhere in Vermont. It seems like her son is not with her, that doesn't mean he wont make an appearance later on so we should be on our guard". Jason stood up from the table "we should move out, she may change locations soon,." Faith moved her head around looking for something before interrupting Jason "where is LightRay?" Manitou Raven sighed "he is..composing himself" Faith quizzically turned her head. Jason sighed, "Well lets get the transportation spell ready,"
The black rental car made a stop just short of a abandoned maple tree orchard. Klarion and Abra stepped out of the vehicle. Klarion breathed deeply. The air was iced with adrenalin and an eery calm. Abra closed the the trunk of the car with a snap that sent crows in the trees flying into the dark silent air. A chilling breeze moved through the trees with swift force. Klarion turned to Abra
"It seems like perfect weather to burn a fey".
Jason, Faith, Manitou Raven and a recovered LightRay stood inside a gold rimed circle.
Jason turned to Manitou Raven,"I am ready when you are" Manitou Raven nodded. Jason offered both his hands to Manitou Raven who grasped the pair with his own. The group closed their eyes as Jason and Manitou Raven chanted in a long forgotten language. As they chanted the circle glowed bright gold.
Klarion stopped in mid stride which made Abra stop as well. Klarion turned his head, giving his profile to Abra "The air is becoming electrified, I think we may have to rethink our plan, someone just ruined our surprise". Klarion then sprinted into the woods with Abra close at his heels. Abra and Klarion found an old wide maple tree to hide behind. Abra turned to Klarion "Master what exactly did you mean when you said our plan.." Abra was interrupted by a loud electrical sound. Both he and Klarion peeked from their hiding place to the clearing. Abra's question was answered with the arrival of Jason Blood, Faith, Manitou Raven and LightRay.
Jason surveyed the area as LightRay and Manitou Raven whispered to one another. Faith
ez-dropped on their conversation, out of curiosity. Manitou Raven seemed to be warning LightRay "if you do confront him, don't mention her, it will only make things worst.". That was all Faith could catch before Jason began to speak "we have to form some kind of plan of attack, I think two of us should attack the castle head on to draw Morgen Le Fey out while the others go into the castle to retrieve the crown" Manitou Raven sighed "That sound like a good idea, but which of us should attack?" Jason smirked "why you and me, since we are the ones with the sorcery skills, if were to go into the castle we would be detected right away," Faith ran her hand through her hair nervously "So Jason you want LightRay and me to go into the castle while you and Manitou Raven fight Morgan?" Jason nodded "Except LightRay will retrieve the crown, Faith you will be his back up in case there are any surprises". The group turned to each other looking at one another for objections when none were found they nodded.
Klarion turned to Abra with the devilish of smirks, "It looks like we have an even better distraction then surprise, well just let Uncle Jason and his little friends fight and distract Morgan. While we get the crown from that strawberry blond idiot they call LightRay". Klarion then began to walk in the direction that Jason's group was heading. Abra silently followed his master, being mindful not to trip on the overgrown roots that littered the ground. They were well concealed by the tree line that seemed to border the cleared path that Jason's group were following. Klarion began to use the tree roots to jump from one area to another while Abra continued to struggle comically.
The groups soon approached their destination. Jason and Manitou Raven split from Faith and LightRay. Klarion and Abra (unbeknownst ) followed LightRay and Faith. The castle was small, it carried an aura of dread which translated to its dark grey color. Crows cawed loudly in the background. Jason began the chant that turned him into the demon. Manitou Raven began to chant the entrance spell that would allow Faith and LightRay to enter the castle. Etrigan sniffed the air loudly and hissed "the wench knows we are here, she knows I have come for her bones".
Faith and LightRay threaded light up to the side of the castle. They knew that as soon as Morgan left the castle to defend it thats when they could move in. LightRay and Faith reached their location, while Klarion disguised Abra and himself as shadows. Faith peeked from her hiding spot, Manitou Raven and Etrigan had begun to attack that castle. LightRay, who was leaning against the sides of the castle could feel the attacks reverberate through out the structure. The shadow under Faith shifted slightly, Klarion began to wonder what would it take to entice Morgan out of the castle.
Etrigan became increasingly frustrated. He had lashed out at the castle violently with no results. He turned to Manitou Raven "Maybe the hag needs a bigger threat to act, I think we need to try the attack spell we talked about" Manitou Raven looked at Etrigan with fear "My friend I don't think that is necessary.." "of course it is necessary! All we are doing is wasting energy, if we continue we will only weaken ourselves" Manitou Raven nodded reluctantly. They lifted their right arms up and began to chant in a forgotten tong, dark green lighting shot out of their hands and combined in midair slowly forming a sphere which shot out a powerful bolt of energy towards the castle. The castle shook violently as glass windows shattered, which was quickly followed by a thunderous sound.
Morgan le fey had decided to go see her son Mordrid, since he had forcefully aged himself into a hormonal 24 year old, he spent most of his time in Rio de Janeiro. Mordrid loved the tan colored women and darker skinned women. His time was mostly consumed with parting and beding the exotic women that enticed him. This behavior did bother Morgan only because he wouldn't visit or call and even if she was a villain that didn't mean she wasn't a caring mother. So she visited him at his home and was having a nice cup of tea when her gargoyle notified her that her house was under attack. She said her hasty good byes to Mordrid and his lovely new plaything.
She teleported back to her home to find the vain of her existence The Demon Etrigen destroying her home. She shrieked at the top of her longs "YOU BASTARD!" and proceeded to fight him.
Faith heard the incredibly loud shrieking followed by the sounds of battle. LightRay nudged her as a intricate mystic circle formed on the side of the wall. Faith turned around and walked into the circle, LightRay followed suit along with the living shadows. Faith and LightRay arrived inside the castle. LightRay took the lead and flew toward the grand staircase. Faith lagged for a while deciding to go to the left of the grand stair case. The shadows followed LightRay swiftly.
As they accened the staircase there true forms came to light. Klarion and Abra no longer shadows hastily followed LightRay while remaining hidden.
Klarion observed that the way LightRay was heading was the right direction . As abra and he headed closer to their target. Klarion turned to Abra and whispered "stay behind incase that annoying women bounds up here" Abra nodded. Klarion moved ahead towards an unsuspecting LightRay.
Faith flew erratically around the third floor, not knowing what to expect. She finally gave up her search and flew to where she sensed LightRay. As she approached where she sensed LightRay, she became lost. Faith looked around trying to get her bearings. Morgans home was filled with antiques Which seemed to make the whole home feel cramped. Gold, red and dark umber seemed to be the gody color scheme. Morgan's home seemed to have various dead ends which were noted by a display case with an antique. Faith sighed in frustration, she continued searching
Until she happened upon a elegant mirror, in the reflection she saw Klarion and gasped. She quickly followed him and was soon confronted by Abra.
Klarion stayed as close as possible to LightRay, who just turned a corner. As he caught up with LightRay, he felt magical energy being release in the castle. Klarion sighed and thought 'I guess Faith caught up with Abra'. He then focused his attention on LightRay who had just found the crown. As LightRay lifted the glass pane to grab the crown, Klarion made his move. He blasted LightRay and made a dash for the Crown. LightRay, slightly dazed stood up and sent a sun bolt towards Klarion who deflected it with easy. But as the bolt hit Klarion's shield it created cover for LightRay to move in and grab the crown. LightRay then flew away towards the staircase. Klarion followed suit.
Abra stood with his hands on his hips and his shirt slightly a mess. In front of him was a very angry Faith. She growled "move out of the way Abra this is your only warning" faith then attempted to influence Abra by using her aura to make him afraid. Abra began to laugh "Oh how cute, you make your little threat and then use your aura to make your self look menacing just like a cat caught in a corner, well let me show you a real trick" He snapped his fingers, a black shadow of a wand flickered a couple times before becoming solid in his hand. He waved his wand "elbbub deah ogitrev" as he spoke the room appeared to spin and warp. Faith fell to her knees, her head began to throb and her vision became very blurry. Abra approached Faith " from what I understand you psych types require concentration to use your powers, well it's kinda hard to concentrate now isn't it?" Faith looked up and summoned all the concentration she could muster and threw Abra back onto his butt. Abra groaned and screamed "alright bitch, I was just going to leave you on the floor but now I am going to make you feel pain!" Abra then waved his hand over his wand " pihw erif ym emoceb" Abra's wand changed into a firer ribbon, he then swung his arm back then threw it forward. The ribbon struck Faith in the shoulder, it burned and made an ugly blister. Faith's eyes widened, said eyes began to glow light purple. She floated up into standing position and sent a psychic blast towards Abra. Abra attempted to jumped out of the way but his hip section wasn't so lucky. He flew back into the wall. He growled and stood up his wand changed back as he hurriedly approached faith. He thrusted his palm to her "mhtyhr cinos " medium sized yellow arcan circle formed infront of his palm, it began to pulse sent out a low humming sound towards Faith. She covered her ears but found that to be futile as the sound wave penetrated her head. She groaned and fell to the floor in a heap. Abra quickly approached her and placed a thick metal band on her head. Abra waved his hand over her "reh dnib" yellow ropes formed around her arms, leg and hand. Abra then kneeled near Faith's "Now don't try any little psychic tricks, that band around your head will suppress your powers but, if you try to use them it will give you one hell of a shock" Abra then waved his hand over her face where a purple ball gag formed in her mouth. "now that looks delicious, to bad your not my type, I like well endowed women" Abra then waved his hand and Faith moved to a nearby hallway. Abra then went back to his post to make sure no one els disturbed his master.
LightRay felt confident that he could out fly a brat like Klarion, he was a new god of genesis!
Oh how LightRay underestimated his opponent. Right now he was fighting to make it to the staircase. LightRay turned in mid air towards Klarion, it was time for him to get aggressive something LightRay hated to do. He charged at Klarion with multiple sun bolts, which were blocked by a shield. LightRay out of frustration concentrated his energy into a laser beam and shot it at Klarion. Klarion shield shattered by the sheer force but he quickly dematerialized as a shadow and reappeared behind LightRay. Klarion snickered which was LightRay's only warning before he was shot at very close by an eldrich bolt. LightRay plummeted down to the ground with a sickening crack. Klarion flew down to LightRay and walked up to his crumpled form.
Klarion snickered as he raised his hand to shoulder level and blasted LightRay with another
Eldritch bolt.
Faith looked up from the floor of the hall Abra had left her in. She could see LightRay and that he was currently involved in a fight with Klarion. She saw how ruthless Klarion was, she was partially thankful that Abra was more merciful apparently. She tried to get LightRay's attention but the ball gag prevented her. She shook her head in frustration, all she could do was watch as LightRay fell to the ground with a extricating crack. Klarion then a approached LightRay and blasted him again. She tried wriggling against the binds but to no avail. LightRay was able to stand up and blast Klarion who flew back with a sideways flip. Faith silently cheered as the tables seemed to turn but the fight action was coming into her hearing range.
Klarion growled demonically as his arms shot out in front of him which produced two
large red flaming demonic arms to the sides of his own. He shot them forward towards LightRay.
LightRay dogged the left one but the right one captured him. Klarion brought him closer as LightRay struggled. Klarion stood a foot away from LightRay face, He studied LightRay facial features closely "your eyes look just like Enris's," LightRay stopped struggling and worriedly asked "is she alright? Have you harmed her?". Klarion snickered "what I do with my captives is my business especial ones like Enris, beautiful girls like that should be kept away from people like me" LightRay growled before blasting out of the demonic grip. He then charged at Klarion knocking him to the nearest wall. "don't you dare lay a hand on her! She has been victimized enough!" Klarion blasted LightRay back "why do you care so much?" Klarion then swung his arm up and sent a red blade towards LightRay who dogged it. LightRay then sighed and ran his fingers through his hair "what if..I made you a deal?" Klarion was intrigued "go on," LightRay brought out the crown from his side pouch. "if I give you the crown and create a diversion while you escape, in exchange you promise not to hurt Enris intentionally and to provide shelter for her" Klarion smirked "oh? So your willing to betray your comrades for a young girl? What is she to you" LightRay growled "it's none of you business, do we have a deal or not?" LightRay then offered his hand, Klarion stepped up to LightRay and took his hand, which glowed "we have a deal," Klarion's hand began to glow. LightRay had just made a magical contract with a Lord of chaos.
Faith lay shocked, she couldn't believe what just she saw or heard. LightRay always seemed so trust worthy and decent. So many questions raced through her mind as she saw him hand Klarion The crown of Aphrodite. Why would LightRay be so desperate to protect this Enris? Why would LightRay even trust Klarion? She knew one thing for sure the moment she got out of these binds and got this stupid band off her head, LightRay would pay.
Klarion smirked as he held the crown in his hand "exquisite craftsmanship," LightRay just grunted and said "how do you want to do this?" Klarion smiled "why just make a distraction if Uncle Jason and the talking totem pole come in here but by the looks of it I don't think..." a loud crash was heard followed by a booming masculine voice shouting "Faith, LightRay we captured Morgan le Fey did you guys find the crown?" Klarion looked at LightRay "that's your que my dear sir" LightRay grunted and took off in the direction of the voice. Klarion smiled and flew towards Abra's direction. On the way he spotted Faith bound with a ball gag in her mouth. Klarion stopped and landed, he crouched down to her "well looks like your in a bind or two, the work of my servant no doubt and here I thought he would have a problem with you. Maybe I should another puncture wound on your body"Faith visibly shuddered before Klarion flew off.
LightRay met up with Jason and Manitou Raven. Jason had trapped Morgan in magical bubble, luckily she was unconscious. Jason asked LightRay "have you by chance seen Faith?" LightRay shook his head "no we split shortly after entering" Jason nodded "were you able to locate the crown?" LightRay hesitated, a look of guilt washed over him briefly before he answered "I am sorry no I was not able to locate it but maybe Faith had better luck". While Jason and LightRay were caught up with their conversation Morgan broke the bubble and blasted Jason in the back.
Manitou Raven reacted quickly by retaliating with a lightning bolt to Morgan's chest. She flew back as LightRay shot a sun beam at her retreating form. Morgan hit the wall with a loud crash, she quickly rose from the dust and fired at Manitou Raven who dodged the attack. LightRay quickly took advantage of Morgan's split attention and attacked her with quick ferocity. Jason slowly got up and decide that he need to get Faith and find the crown.
Klarion found Abra at his post, he quickly approached the man. "Abra we must quickly leave while LightRay can maintain a diversion!" Abra looked a Klarion with confusion "why would LightRay give us a diversion?" Klarion growled and raised the hand that held the crown "not important Abra, I have what we came for". Abra nodded as Klarion formed a teleportation circle under their feet. As they were being engulfed Jason topped the stairs just in time to see Klarion's device horned head.
Faith began to try and inch her way into open space. She crawled like an inch worm across the floor. 'god I hope no one sees me doing this, I don't think I could live down the embarrassment! On top of the fact that Abra bound and gaged me with a purple ball gag,' she thought as she tried to make her way to the staircase. Jason's shoes came into view, Faith froze as Jason kneeled in front of her, she still had her butt in the air from crawling. Jason chuckled "my dear while I enjoy your enthusiasm, I don't think you'll be much help, let me make you more comfortable" Jason placed his hand on the middle of her back "sdnib eht esaeler" the bonds slowly unraveled and disappeared. Jason then removed the purple ball gag, Metal head band and then helped Faith up. Faith sighed in frustration as Jason calmly asked "who tied you up?" "Abra, but that's not the worst of it Klarion was here to.-" " I know I saw him teleporting out with the crown.." " I still haven't gotten to the worst part, LightRay gave it to him! He made some sorta deal with the little
Witch Boy" "wait LightRay made some kind of a deal with him? For what? What could Klarion give LightRay?" Faith placed her knuckles under her chin and paused before saying " I think he wanted Klarion to promise not to harm the girl that he captured ..I think her name is Enris" Jason quirked an eyebrow. "what makes you think the girls name is Enris? " "LightRay referred her in that name and so did Klarion". Jason frowned, he could not believe that LightRay betrayed them but they still needed to confront him. Jason wanted answers before they threw LightRay to the wolfs.
Manitou Raven and LightRay were able to subdue Morgan Le Fey again. This time Manitou raven was able to get the nth metal cuffs on her along with a nth metal collar. LightRay stood close to Morgan, he wanted nothing more then to rip her throat out. He also came to an unfortunate conclusion, Morgan's mouth was not that of a proper lady "cock sucking dogs all of you! Especial you LightRay! You probably like the men in brazil! In those speedos-" LightRay grabbed a white pice of cloth from a near by table and shoved into her open mouth. Manitou Raven laughed "my friend thank you, her voice could crack glass." LightRay smiled and turned to the staircase as Jason and faith descended the stairs. Once they made their way to the bottom Manitou Raven and Jason summoned a transportation circle. LightRay,Morgan Le fey and faith stepped into the circle and left.
Once at Manitou Raven's house both him and Jason placed Morgan into the nth metal lined chamber in the basement. Jason informed the JLA of Morgans capture, Batman had told him that her retrieval was low priority since she was well contained at the present moment. As Manitou Raven and Jason walked back up to the main house, Jason told Manitou Raven about LightRay's betrayal, Manitou Raven didn't seem that surprised.
Faith had made coffee and was serving it in the dinning room along with some French pastries.
LightRay sat down in the middle of the row of chairs, he quietly sipped his black coffee with no sugar. Guilt was written into his face, his left leg anxiously bounced up and down as sweat ran down the sides of his face. Faith looked down on him with a frown, she wanted to confront him and then mind swipe him into a vegetable but she hade promised jason she wouldn' would confront him as a team. Faith's thoughts were interrupted by Manitou Raven walking in and saying "the coffee smells good".
They all sat down at the table, Jason had some coffee with cream and an eclair, Manitou Raven was sipping on his black coffee with sugar And Faith had Irished up her coffee while enjoying some pastry puffs. The mood in the room had definite tension despite outward appearances. They all anxiously and expectedly looked toward LightRay waiting for his answer as to why he had betrayed them. Finally LightRay took a deep breath "my reasons are a tad simplistic, any father would try anything to protect his daughter," A sharp gasp could be heard as realization crossed the faces of the team (except Manitou Raven of course) Jason spoke first "are you telling us the girl Klarion kidnaped is your daughter? I didn't even know you hade children" Faith slammed her hand down on the table top "what was she doing alone in the rain with ripped clothes! Why was she out in that kind of weather! Why wasn't she at home with you?" LightRay sighed "it is not that simple, she has not been part of my life for 15 years, she is not even aware that I am her father." the group looked at each other in confusion before turning back to LightRay.
LightRay then began to recount his story "this whole mess started when I met Enris's mother 21 years ago. She was a very famous model who went by the name Aurora. At the time I was working as a photographer for a fashion magazine. I was assigned to cover a runway show in New York. At the show she came down the runway and the heel on her high heel shoe came off causing her to fall into the media pit, but I caught her before she hit the ground. At that moment when I looked into her eyes I knew, she was the one for me. I chased her, I went to all her shows, brought her flowers, hell I even wrote her poetry until finally she agreed to go out with me. After the first date we began a incredible love affaire, which hade it's climax 2years later, when we became husband and wife. Sadly it was short lived, New Genesis and Apokolips broke out into war. We decided to hold off having children till the war was over but that plane didn't pan out exactly, about a year and 3months later Aurora became pregnant with our first and only child. We kept her pregnancy secret and 9months later we had Enris. Then my family was torn apart, Granny goodness abducted Aurora, tortured and murdered her. She told me she would kill everything I loved for leading Orion astray. I couldn't let her hurt Enris too so I talked to High Father. High father took Enris in, she would still have the title and statues she was born with but who her father was would remain a secret from the court. High Father feared spy's were in the palace therefor I couldn't see Enris that often nor could she know I was her father. She was raised in the royal palace and brought up like a noble women. I didn't want Enris to be raised like that, thinking men were higher then women. New Genesis is a very patriarchal society, women even of noble linage are expected to serve men with out question. Over the years I was able to see Enris grow up, she looks just like her mother except she has my eyes. Well everything came to a horrific halt...HighFather betrothed Enris to High General. I was devastated when I learned about it, he has hade 5 wives who all left him under mysterious circumstances, one I found here on earth who told me about the horrible things he did to her, from the sexually derogatory to just plain physical abuse. I made a mother box for Enris, let her 'steal it from me' then a couple days after that she disappeared. HighFather suspects that she ran away, he just doesn't know where to though. He declared that she was a deserter and that if she was found by a Genesis citizen they are to return her. I just didn't think she would come to earth let alone be a target for Morgan...I know I shouldn't of made a deal with Klarion but at least now he is under contractural magic not to harm her and to shelter her.."
The group sat in silence absorbing what LightRay had told them. Faith glared at LightRay "I can't believe you would let any of this happen to your daughter! What kind of father are you!" Jason jumped back a little "Faith I think we should forgive LightRay, I think any of us under the same circumstances would have made a deal with Klarion" Faith growled in response " if he was any kind of man she wouldn't be in this mess" Manitou Raven raised both his hands up to pause the group's bickering "I think we need to change our goals , we should focus on retrieving Enris from Klarion before he gets her involved in anything negative. For all we know he is teaching her how to be a vileness or worst, if what Klarion implied was more then just an exaggeration" Faith and LightRay both cringed while Jason laughed "That little witch boy is just a boy, the most he has probably done is kissed her, if that I have known the little saddest for decades never shown that kind of interest in girls he was probably trying to get under LightRay's skin" Faith coughed to interrupt "I agree with Manitou Raven, getting Enris back should be our main objective now"
Klarion was pleased at how things had turned out...to a point, the deal with LightRay had presented its own challenges. Klarion had relaid the facts to Abra in hopes of gaining a new perspective on the situation. Abra brought something to Klarion's attention something he hadn't considered. "I don't think Enris is LightRay's love interest at least not in that way, maybe he is her brother, cousin or maybe someone who just cares about her well being." Klarion grunted "I made the deal I have to keep her, but I want answers, I can't hate being out of the loop"
Enris had waited up for Klarion, she had begun to worry about him. It was almost 2AM and Teekle had also begun to worry. Enris sighed as she sat on the big red armchair Indian style, Teekle had curled up in the hollow of her legs. Enris absentmindedly scratched the top of Teekle's head. The silence was broken by Teekle meowing and rubbing her head against Enris's hand. "I guess your right we should go to sleep," Enris gently picked up Teekle and slid out of the comfy red chair. She then head to the familiar hallway, once she arrived in her room she changed into her Pj's and climbed into bed. Teekle made her self comfortable by snuggling into Enris's chest. Sleep had claimed them.
Klarion and Abra arrived back at the tower around 3am. Abra audibly yawned "I am heading to bed," Klarion grunted as he headed to the hallway with Abra. The duo walked in silence as they approached the first door-Enris's room. Klarion stopped at her door, Abra walked a step pasted Klarion before realizing he had stopped. As Klarion reaches for the door knob, Abra sighs "can't you wait till morning? I mean she is probably in a deep sleep.." " that's why this is the perfect time to interrogate her, it will catch her completely off guard and her tired mind won't be able to put anything together" Abra nodded and headed for his room, he had no interest in seeing Klarion's version of an interrogation again Kent Nelson's was enough.
Klarion opened the door and slipped inside. He took a deep breath, her scent was always intoxicating. He turned his gaze to the sleeping form on the bed. She was in the fettle position, her pale blond hair spread out onto the the comforter and her form. Klarion approached the bed and was surprised to find his familiar Teekle curled up into Enris's chest. He shook his head before he reached for Teekle. Teekle stirred before opening her eyes which were greeted by a black suit covered chest. She looked up at him as he approached the bedroom door, which he opened and tossed Teekle out, "sorry I have some business with Enris". He shut the door and swiftly walked up to the bed. He ran his fingers through Enris's hair before grabbing it by the scalp and pulling her head up with it. Enris woke up with a start her eyes opened to see Klarion's red eyed demon face. She was about to scream when Klarion wrapped his free hand around her throat. "shut up! I am too tired to deal with you screaming understood" he punctuated his command by tightening his hold on her throat. She nodded as much as she could before he loosened his hold. Klarion venomously whispered "My trip was a very enlightening one, tell me Enris where did you come from? Would it be new genesis?" by this time tears were streaming down her cheeks. Klarion let go of her neck, he brought his face close to hers "I ran into LightRay, who had some interesting things to say, I want the whole truth Enris I HATE being kept in the dark and if I don't get the truth out of you willingly I will get it out of you the slow painfully hard way" Enris nodded before he let her hair go. Klarion maintained his closeness to Enris's body as she sat up.
Enris looked into Klarion's face "I'm waiting," he said in a whining voice. She looked up at him with her deep blue eye filled with sadness. "I don't know what lord LightRay told you, couldn't of been good. Well I guess Ill start from the beginning, I was raised in High father's royal palace. I was taught several languages, French, English, Japanese and of course my native language. I was taught how to be a Noble. I never complained or argued, I did everything I was told a decent noblewomen does. One day as I was wondering the Palace when I heard High father talking to high general... They were discussing the terms of betrothal. High general had asked for my hand...and High father had agreed. I had heard the horrible things that befell his previous wife's.
I knew at that point that if I didn't figure out a way to escape I wouldn't live very long. So I figured out a plan so to speak, I found out all those that had a mother box and which one of them used it the most. I found that LightRay had one but didn't use it that often so I stalked him and stole it when he left it on the table. I then used it to escape on the one planet no one would expect to find me on, but then I ran into Morgan and this whole mess started" Klarion audibly sighed. "where were your parents in all this?" Enris looked down "I don't know them, I don't know who they are, High father said the it was non of my concern...so LightRay knows I am here, it wont be long the till they find me and drag me back to new genesis" Enris pulled her knees into body an rested her head on them. Klarion scooted closer to her "I don't think that'll happen-" "If I go back they'll torture me for deserting... And then I'll be stuck with High general..he told High father that he wanted to use me, he said that there wasn't anyone with my kind of blood what ever that means." Klarion's eyes softened as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, he then lifted her chin up with his other hand to look at him "its not like you don't have options...I am a Lord of Chaos I can make a deal with you," Enris's eyes brightened a little with hope "What kind of deal?" Klarion smirked "You become my eternal servant, to obey me and be owned by me and in exchange I will protect you from current,future or past citizens of New Genesis" Enris looked away, she knew what he was asking for in exchange. She weighed her options; Klarion had been civil to her and kind, kinder then the men of new genesis. Between Klarion and high general, the Lord of Chaos looked better. She turned to him and nodded slowly.
Klarion was a little shocked at what had come out of Enris's mouth. He felt sorry for her, all of her power as a person was taken from her. Klarion was firmly against arranged marriages, he'd had personnel experience with the results. He never wanted to see that kind of thing again especial when it involved some one so gentle. When he offered her the deal he wasn't sure what to expect. He had plainly asked her to hand her self over to him basically to hand over her soul.
He barley registered her nod. He forced her to look up at him if he was going to make a deal of this magnitude he needed concert confirmation. "Enris I need you to say that you agree to the terms of this deal." he didn't even register the sound of her words all he saw was her lips move in agreement.
The room was silent, the lights were low enveloping the room in carosuto shades. The shapes in the room were easily defined by shadows and lights. The atmosphere carried a sense of sensuality that was only heightened by the intimate space the two figures on the bed shared. Dark clothing contrasted to the light blue nightgown. The taller figure slowly and deliberately touched the pale blond hair of the petit figure before lifting it to expose her bare shoulder. As Klarion shifted himself into a more comfortable position he looked at Enris "this is going to hurt a little,"
She nodded in response as he shifted her onto his lap. Her thighs were on either side of his lap with her butt squarely in the middle of his lap. Her chest was pressed against his as his arm wrapped around her waist pressing her closer to him. Then he caressed her neck with his free hand moving any stray hairs away. He then descended onto her neck with a bite, Enris gasped as her body felt consumed by primal heat. She placed her hands on his shoulders drawing him closer, her breathing quickened, she felt as if she was being swallowed by adulterated pleasure. Klarion's head hadn't budged from her neck. He could feel her pleasure as well, it overwhelmed him to the point that he almost lost concentration. The area around Klarion's mouth began to glow a light blue as an arcane circle began to form on Enris's shoulder. The circle was small maybe the size of a coster. He lifted his mouth off of the circle and quickly replaced it with his hand. Enris wrapped her arm around his shoulder as pain began to mix in with pleasure. Klarion kissed the side of her cheek as tears trickled down her face. The light from the circle began to die down. Klarion removed his hand as he watched the light completely die. Enris's body relaxed as the sensations subsided. Her head lulled to the side as her eyes began to close. Klarion starched his arm out allowing room between her and himself. He stared at the mark on her shoulder. He had made a physical link between them, the mark would allow him to control her.
Klarion gently laid her down on the bed and laid down with her. His arm still wrapped firmly around her waist. He pulled her to his chest, then shifted his face so that it nestled into her hair.
He had bound souls to contracts before, there were many ways to go about it. For her he chose the most gentlest method he knew of, which turned out to be the most intimate. He had never performed it before, if he bound souls he preferred the blood curdling screaming method. The intimacy of the method he used on Enris was probably why it wasn't used very often. None of the books he read about talked about the sexual pleasure it generated or about the emotional transference. He sighed as allowed himself to be lulled to sleep by Enris's breathing.
