Today harbored bruises and cuts from the sluagh and the putrid odor that clung to the bodies that attacked Nicnevin stayed with her as she stormed back to the Court of the Aos Si. There was something brewing and everything told of bad happenings. Nicnevin could feel the blood slowly drip off her fingers and land with a hiss in the snow, if she didn't take care her wounds were likely to puss and sicken, regardless of the fact that she was a Princess of the Aos Si Court, Lady of the Sluagh and Leader of the Wild Hunt. She could be her Aunt, Queen of both Courts and still the advantages of healing would be useless against the toxins of the undead and rejected.

In the back of her mind the dull ache expanded and cause Nicnevin worry. It had been days and this lingering feeling of someone watching her never creased. It was unnerving and because it frightened her, pissed her off. Absorbed in the task of ignoring that growing feeling and cleaning her wounds, Nicnevin didn't see it until it was too late and she ran right into it. The fairy right surrounding the sidhe was up, as it should always be but it was refusing to let Nicnevin pass. This had never happened, there was no reason for the fairy mound, the sidhe to keep her out. She was it's Princess and with the exception of a passing mood nothing like this should be happening.

Confident that it wouldn't happen again Nicnevin started walking. Again the sidhe rejected her. This time letting her pass only to send her to the other side of the mound. Nicnevin was about to open her mouth and call the true name of the sidhe when a shattering of light and sound pierced the air and flung Nicnevin into the air.

In that same moment on the opposite side of time and space a human woman of 24 crossed the street and was struck by a car. The lines between the two women merged and in the daze of each being deprived of air they saw each other's lives. The fairy the life of the human and the human the life of the fairy before darkness claimed everything and both passed out.

Nicnevin was the first to recover and she got up slowly. Her ears rang and there was a tingling in her body that she knew would lead to numbness spread from the tips of her fingers and toes in. Nicnevin had heard of stories about fairies turning to stone but she didn't think it was real and she doubted that was what was happening to her but it was the only thing that made sense to her at the moment.

Knowing this time that the sidhe would let her in, Nicnevin hurried to the court room. Living in a magical fairy mound had it's ups and down. The down was it having the power to kill, a major drawback but the counter perk to that was it's ability to change it's layout and theme of the room and when it wasn't passing a mood it was helpful in directing you to where you wished to go. Nicnevin knew the court room was no where near the front door but the moment she walked in the the sidhe and the doors closed behind her she was in the room she wanted to be in.

"Nicnevin." Her Father stood from his raise seat and met his daughter, nose crinkled to the smell of her. "What happened?"

"The sid-" Flames burst from Nicnevin's body and the eerie wail of the gathering winds of the Hunts whistled through the room.

"The Wild Hunt! You brought The Wild Hunt with you!" Screamed her aunt face blotched with anger, the vein in her temple protruding.

A terrible cry roared up from the earth itself as the Wild Hunt battled the sidhe for entry.

"Call it off!" Boomed the echoing voice of her Father's brother to no avail.

"I am not leading it." Nicnevin whispered drawing her sword and facing the sounds of the coming battle. "It rides leaderless."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Neila! Neila!"

"Stop them! Stop them!" Neila screamed her arms thrown in front of her as she shielded off the phantom images from her mind. "There was these things!" Neila stuttered wide eyed with fright. "Monster things riding horse and these demon dogs." She muttered blindingly. "It was horrible."

"Oh geese!" The cab driver jumped out of the car seeing what it was that he hit. Long wild red hair was the first thing that caught him. The second was the blood on the woman's elbow. "Is she okay?" The cab driver stood there was a worried look on his face that deepened with every mutter that came from the accident victim. "Is she right in the head?" He muttered to the other girl that seemed to be the one on the ground friend.

"Yeah she's fine!" The dark skinned woman snapped hauling her friend off the ground.

"AHHHGHA!!" The inside of Neila's mind exploded in a tsunami of pain. Her breath caught in the throat and her heart skipped, once, twice, three times. Flashes of light was quickly swallowed by pitch black over and over again. "Noise, too much noise!" Neila clapped her hands to her ears squeezing her eyes shut as tear ran down her face. "I- I can't!" She shrieked in a blood curdling wail before crumpling to the ground lifeless.

The minuet ticked by striking the first second of December Twenty-First, Two-Thousand-and-Twelve and marking the tear of this multiworld and the next.

Character:
::Other world::
Amduscias, an Expisco demon in the Court of the demon Lord Asmondai.
As an Expisco demon, he looks more human in appearance but senses chaos anywhere around and he craves and needs it. Basically it is what fuels him. If chaos isn't present, he is subject to cause it. If a person thinks about their plan to murder someone, he will hear or perhaps even see it. However, if it is just wishful thinking then he probably will not sense anything. He can also usually tell what kind of supernatural other beings are.

Amduscias made his way into the thrown room of the demon lord. He had been summoned by the Lord Asmondai on frequent occasion as of late, just simply for his opinion on matters, due to his power. He slowly made his way through the kingdom towards the great throne room. As he walked up to the doors of the throne room, two other demons stood on either side of the doors as guards.

These two demons, both known as Ferratus, simply seemed as if they were merely iron statues standing guard. That was however the only power of the Ferratus demons . Once their power was invoked, their entire bodies turned into iron. This was simply a protection mechanism they held. Their fighting skills were slight so they would hit when they could then turn into iron when their enemies would show signs of attack.

They both stayed that way until Amduscias made his way closer to them. All at once, color seemed to return to both of their skins as they glared hatefully at Amduscias. As you see, demons held each other in low regards. Each feeling that they somehow were better than the other. He stepped up to stand before the doors. "Open the chamber guards. I have been summoned by Lord Asmondai."

The one on the right simply huffed as he reached for the handle and slowly slid the doorway open. Amduscias stepped through and witnessed the great lord seated upon his throne waiting. "Come forward and kneel Amducias" the demon commanded. Amduscias did as he was instructed and dropped to his knees at the foot of the great throne. The demon then spoke again. "Amduscias. You have long since been my most powerful foreseer. As you have told me before war is happening in this world. However this time it was not foretold by you. You must go and witness the battle and return with reports. Depart now."

A slight smile crept over his face once he heard the word "war". His life's blood so to speak. And he knew better than to question the demon lord's word over something he had not seen beforehand. He departed the kingdom and made his way to a hillside. His senses leading him the entire way. He topped the hill and stood overlooking the valley watching the Aos Si battle. He simply kept muttering "Yes!! Yes!!" to himself as the chaos ensued. He enjoyed it immensely feling lie it was taking place in his very core. Soon the battle was over and he began trudging back towards the kingdom to report the battle.

He made his way into the kingdom, hurrying towards the throne room. He called out to the Ferratus as he neared. "Open the doors. I have reports for Lord Asmondai." The Ferratus knew never to hinder anyone from bringing reports. By the time, he reached the doors, they were both open and he passed through hearing them close quickly behind him. He hurriedly crossed the floor beginning to call out to Asmondai without kneeling. "Asmondai. My lord. I return with new........."

At that moment, Amduscias' report was cut short as a bright light flashed all around him and it sounded as if the entire kingdom were being torn apart all at once. His feet stumbled and he splayed out across the throne room floor. As soon as it began, it seemed to fade away. He slowly crawled up onto his knees and looked up towards the demon lord. "My lord. This is unforeseeable. This is an event witnessed across the universe."

Character:
Shane Williams
36 yrs old
6'2" 190 lbs
Short, buzz cut dark brown hair, green eyes, not excessively muscular but toned up.
Former military, then went to school and earned his business and accounting degree. Now working as an investor alongside the banking industry.
Often quiet at first within social circles, not because of shyness but instead preferring to weigh out each situation before becoming involved in it. Serious, loud and nothing but business when it comes to negotiations.
Never pulling any punches, Shane is straight to the point saying exactly how he feels.

This day had started as any other. Shane had woken, grabbed his coffee and began making his way to the office. He had three major meetings scheduled throughout the day regarding potential company takeovers and buy-outs. These were the days he had worked and waited for. Everyday was at least okay but these....these were what his job was all about. He could crush those he wanted to as well as save others if he so desired. Ahhh the joys of his job. He had never considered himself that much of an ass to not care either way. If a company truly showed promise, he would work with them to sustain the business. If not, he would do his best to metaphorically squash them under his heel.

He had made his way to his office and the meetings practically began as soon as he walked through the doors. All in all, he had sustained only one business and taken over the other two. He went out that night to celebrate over drinks with one of his business partners. His partner had left a little while earlier. He glanced at his watch and saw that midnight was fast approaching. He paid his tab and began walking for the door. He pushed it open and the cool night air hit his face. He stepped out onto the sidewalk.

As soon as he had taken a couple of steps, a bright light took over his vision and the loudest scream/squeal filled his ears. So loud and piercing, his eyes watered and he dropped to the ground holding his head. His very own screams seemed to match the intense noise taking place within his head. His voice caught within his throat and he couldn't make another sound as it felt as if the inside of his chest just imploded on itself. All at once, everything stopped and went black and all that was left was his body lying limp and motionless on the sidewalk. As his body went still on the ground, the watch on his arm ticked just a few seconds after midnight bringing in the new day of December 21, 2012.

Nicnevin
The cold was the first thing that Nicnevin felt. The last thing that she could remember is the Wild Hunt bursting through the courtroom doors snatching the souls of the Aos Si to build their hoard. The sidhe rolling under her feet as the Wild Hunt ran over her forcing her to run with them, powerless to stop them. Trying had been her fault as she tried to overpower the Hunt but it backlashed on her and drowned her in their magic. The Wild Hunt was leaderless and truly wild sucking the life from Nicnevin as she struggled to tame it. And a face, her face on the wrong body.

Neila
Neila's eyes fluttered in her sleep as she dreamed. She didn't know where she was coming up with this but it reminded her of something but just couldn't put her finger on it. It was a legend of some sort, of that she was sure of but other then that she was at a loss.

"This is so strange." Her dreamself's voice echoed and bounced around her as if she were in a protective bubble. "And that woman, is that me?" In her dream there was a woman who looked as if she coudl be her identical twin, wielding a sword and trying to drive back the storm of monsters and demons. "Why is she on fire?" Curls of flames wrapped around her body coming out from her skin as she fought what looked like a dog but was the size of a lion. With all that was going, the death and the fighting Neila couldn't take her eyes away from the woman and the beautiful sight her fire covered body made with her wild curly red hair.

But even to untrained eyes Neila could see that the woman was losing and the mass turned towards her and swept her up, the flames on her body calming to the hottest blue-white. Still the woman struggled and fought with the untameable army and still she was losing.

Black dots danced at the edges of Neila's vision and claps of silence filled in random moments. The woman captured by the supernatural storm was dying. "NO!" She could feel her own heart slowing, her mind lagging and her body growing cold. "NO!!" She screamed again drawing the attention of the monsters. The dark storming hoard gave a banshee bawl and galloped at Neila and like a fool she ran at it desperate to save the woman who looked like her.

The intensity of the Wild Hunt running into Neila was like nothing she could ever imagine. Weakly the woman reached out and touched her and bright lights flashed in her head, ,each one a passing memory, a thought and a million feelings. In the back of her mind she thought of the movie Paul where he does that mind sharing thing. This was something like this and with one final triumphant howl the Hunt tore the two women apart and violently shoved Neila from her own dream.

She wold with a jolt in a pile of ice cold sweat. "What a dream." She breathed to herself, slowing her heart from the panicked race that it was in. "Where am I?" Upon opening her eyes she saw nothing that was hers.

"In the hospital." The nurse at the side of her informed her. "Your friend and a cab driver dropped you off and we've been scanning you all night making sure you're alright." She had a clipboard in her hands and was writing things down and looking at the machines that were hooked up to Neila. "You spiked the machines again and I was in here making sure you're alright."

"So am I? Alright?"

The nurse shrugged. "Nothing on your charts are normal. Everything is either too high or too low. Heck some of your scans are off the chart." She tisked. "But somehow you seem to be in perfect health. The docors can't explain it and in my 48 years of working I've never seen or heard of anything like it."

"But I'm alright?"

"Yes. You can go home once the paperwork it filed. Your friend said she would be back to get you. My advice would be to stay until breakfast, unlike most hospitals we have really good food and today is Belgian waffles and bacon." The nurse smiled hanging the clip board back on the end of her bed.

"Wait-" Neila stopped her before she left. "What time is it?"

The nurse looked at her watch. "4:04 am."

"Thanks." Neila nodded watching the nurse leave and close the door behind her.

She was alone now but the feeling of that dream and the other woman was still with her. In fact it was as if she and the woman were one.

"Ha!" Neila laughed at herself. "Whatever I'm plugged into is messing with my mind." She shook her head flicking one of the many tubes stuck in her arm.

Amduscias struggled to his feet as his lord peered down upon him and called out in an untempered voice that shook Amduscias' body. "What do you mean this is an event unforeseeable Amduscias? That is one of your most prized gifts. If you cannot continue to fulfill your roles you will be cast out from my legion."

The booming voice of Asmondai once again shook Amduscias to his knees upon the floor of the throne room. His vision seemed to blur slightly. He shook his head while looking at the floor trying to clear his mind and eyes of what was happening. Then he began to raise his eyes to look back towards the throne. His eyes scanned the room. Everything looking eerily similar, yet still different. As if looking through someone else's eyes. "No my lord. There was no way to interpret this. This is a change that has affected many." He tried to think back to what was happening before what seemed as an attack and vague images again flooded into his mind. "Regarding the battle, my lord. The Aos Si is powerful. They won the battle I witnessed. But they were fighting a force that blew through like wind. It is a wonderment how they could defeat such as opposition."

Asmondai leaned back into his chair. What began as a slight smile spreading over his face grew wider until it seemed as if he eyes were glowing a pale demonic red while he looked down at the demon in his floor. "Yes Amduscias. It was a powerful force indeed. You see, I knew of the battle. The Aos Si was fighting what is known as the Wild Hunt. However, I sent another of my legions behind the Wild Hunt to conquer even further. This legion comes from deeper within the realm. You have yet to learn of them but you will soon. This legion consists of demons known as Tempestras and Gelo. The Tempestra can control the wind and rain. even lightning in some cases. The Gelo, my child, can produce cold and ice upon a single touch." As he was speaking, he rose up in his chair with excitement. Once he was finished, he leaned back down into his throne.

Amduscias simply stared up at the throne. While he fed off the presence of chaos, this was a decision by the lord that he did not agree with. However, this was not the time to make known that disagreement, so he simply acknowledged the decisions of Asmondai. "Yes my lord."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shane began coming too from whatever had happened to him. His eyes fluttered open slightly and he tried to look around seeing what looked as if he was in a hospital room maybe. Then he looked towards the doorway and saw it opening slightly as a nurse walked through. As his eyes became adjusted to where he lay and what was going on, a quick flash seemed to fill the room. He remembered a similar flash from the night before.

As the bright light seemed to drift away, he was no longer looking around a hospital room. Now instead, he was looking around a great room where he thought some kind of king may sit. But even now, his vision wasn't entirely clear. Everything that he was looking at seemed to be in a slight blur as if he was dreaming it instead of seeing it for real. Then he heard speaking coming from ahead of him. It was a low guttural growling voice. and had the tone behind it as if whoever it was had control of everything around him.

Through his blurred vision he made out a figure sitting ahead of him and saw this is where the voice was coming from as he listened to what sounded as details to some kind of battle. even though listening, he couldn't take in all of the details due to his confused state as to what the hell was actually going on. finally the speaking stopped and his mouth opened. All that came out was "Yes my lord." Then just as suddenly as it had began, everything blurred and then his vision became clear again. He looked around and once again, he found himself laying in the hospital room with a nurse standing beside his bed.

"What the hell was that?" He asked.

"Well hello Mr. Williams. It's good to see you finally awake." The nurse said with a pleasant voice.

"Yeah yeah. I get all that. What happened?"

The nurse looked at him as she held his chart. "Well sir, last night you were found on the sidewalk outside of a bar. Apparently you simply passed out. I need to ask you though, do you know a cab driver and two ladies?"

He looked at her with confusion. "A cab driver and two ladies? What the hell are you talking about?"

"Well, apparently you weren't the only one that passed out last night. A cab driver and another young lady brought you and a female into the hospital last night shortly after midnight. The said they got her up out of the street after the cab hit her and then they looked and saw you lying on the sidewalk. So they brought both of you into the hospital."

He shook his head and felt a pounding inside. "Uhhh no. I don't know anything about that."

The nurse turned to walk out of the room. "You get some rest Mr. Williams. I will be back in to check on you a little later."

He watched her walk out of the room and the door shut behind her. He raised his hands to rub them over his head trying to sort this mess out. Everything was so damn confusing right now. "What the hell is going on?" He thought out loud.

 

[Ohia_Lehua]

Nicnevin
The world lagged, slowed then stopped. Everything around her was fuzzy and sounded echoed around her in a hazy static. "Where am I?" Her mouth moved to asked the question but no sound came out. Her mouth was dry and the more aware she became the more she felt and wish she didn't. Pain shot through her body in mixed waves of burning fire and searing blistering cold. The root of her teeth flamed up and rang bring tears to her eyes. The nails on her fingertips felt like they were being pulled off and her eyes burned with the brightness of the white light.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha..."

It was the only clear sound that she heard and the sinister voice brought fear to the young fairy.

"You will see..." Promised the voice with laughter.

"See what?!?!" Nicnevin demanded only to scream out in pain as the first of her bone broke. Her frozen world slowly started to dim with each sickening crack of her bones until there was nothing but pitch black darkness and unbearable pain. She wasn't sure how long she had been there and it didn't seem to matter because there seemed to be no way out.

Unable to accept this Nicnevin tried to fight it, her body burst out in flames, she could feel the crackle of the fire burning over her but there was no light, nothing to tell her what she could feel was real. Nicnevin struggled in suspended space but the only thing she was rewarded with was the grinding sound and feel of bond shards digging into flesh, rubbing into each other and splintering off into finer pieces that cut needle thin scrapes from the inside out.

Still Nicnevin found now searching for the level of pain that would pitch her into numbing darkness but she stayed awake and her body felt everything and she could feel the will in her heart and soul flicker and go out, the flame puttering out leaving a single coal where once a fire had roared.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neila
"The paperwork has been filled, an appointment scheduled for next week has been made and your friend Miss Vanessa Johnson has signed you out." The nurse cheerfully reported coming in with a tray filled with food. "So when you finish eating you can go home." She smiled pulling the tray table over and placing the plate of steaming food down.

"Really?" Neila was doubtful. The last two hours were hellish.

She had tried to go back to sleep but she dreamed something that she can't remember only that it was bad and woke up puking. When her stomach was empty and all that was left were dry heaves, she finally collapsed in a sweating exhausted heap. She thought that had been the end of it but then blood tears started running down her face from her eyes and she was subjugated to more tests where they poked and stabbed at her until they concluded that they didn't know what was wrong but that she seemed to be fine, once she had stopped crying tears of blood.

"You're going to let me go?" After the last loop that she had thrown the doctors through she hadn't though that they would just let her go. Neila figured that she was going to be transported to some secret lab where she would be a lab rat for the rest of her life or until they figured out what was going on with her.

"We can't keep you here without there being something wrong. There have been some strange happenings with you but medically you are perfectly healthy and free to go." The nurse assured her. "Unless you think that you need to stay-"

"No!" Neila interrupted frantically. "I feel fine."

The nurse smiled and patted her arm. "Call us if anything changes and I hope that we don't have to see you again."

"You'll have too. I have a follow up appointment, remember." Neila smiled teasing the nurse who had been so nice and calming through all this.

"Except for that and then I want to see you gone."

"Thank you, for everything."

"No problem sweetie." The nurse smiled one last time before turning and leaving the room.

Alone in the room Neila stared at the delicious smelling food and knew that she should eat but was unable to bring herself to take a bite. "Urg." She groaned pushing the rolling table away. She had been disconnected from tubes and wires for a while but this was the first time that it seemed safe enough to get up. Neila had no explanation for what had happened to her but if everyone was telling her she was fine that she was going to go while the offer still stands. And by the reports playing on the news channel there were some weird things going on outside that were just as strange as her aliments. Power outages, snowing in the desert, hail in Hawaii, strange lightning storms, tornados and trembling earthquakes in Canada.

"Hell maybe I should stay in here." Neila laughed getting to her feet, searching around the room for her clothes. "Van!" Neila stuck her head out of her room door and called out to her friend hoping that her clothes were with her. "Vanie!!" Another shout, some turned heads but none of then her friend. "Seriously?" Neila looked down at herself and the plain open backed cotton gown she was in and shuffled back to her bed. "I'm not leaving like this." She sighed flopping back on the bed. The smell of her breakfast moistening her mouth. "Ah screw it." Neila hissed reaching over the bed to grab the plate of food and dug in. "If I puke at least I know it won't be on my clothes."
