Raven , Wyn and Raymond...Inca ruins, South America

Raven noticed that Wyn had observed the unmistakeable bulge of Raymond's as well. Smiling a little she turned to Wyn once more, ...

"We cannot pray to Aveline for guidance and not especially if it is concerning her own gift ... we have to find it for her...to show our indebted gratitude and to honor her with. It would be tacky to ask her what we needed to do , do you understand....Look...I have completed the task already with Eddie in umm, Kansas, ...and trust me when I say...we need something very good...something spectacular and what would be befitting of a Goddess...and I think that a treasure of this magnitude would be perfect...I know that Goddesses and Gods cannot make something appear with the wave of their hand for themselves...it would be using their powers for personal gain...it is not allowed"

Her eyes were filled with mirth and a unbridled sexual tension that if she were not careful would be let loose on the unsuspecting Raymond. Raven was avoiding looking at him as he explained he tried to hide that delicious bulge of his. It was soooo hard not to think of it and focus on the task on hand. She felt his mild discomfort and his feelings of being with two sisters in the middle of no where with a hard on. Smiling Raven wondered if Wyn was attracted to him , but her feelings at the moment were blocked by her concern for their other sisters.

Raven knew that the both of them , both herself and Wyn, together would be stronger in power than alone...as was the case if all the sisters were together ...they were very strong ...a major force.

She looked to the heavens and wondered what a certain God was planning on doing. Smiling sweetly at Wyn she hoped that she would understand what she was trying to get across to her regarding the gift.
As for Raymond, she grinned...thinking what purpose he would be best suited for.

Raven, Raymond, Wyn, Not Greenland

Damnit, this is NOT going well. These may be more comfortable then the trunks, but I might as well be naked if I'm going to try and hide this thing! Go down, you bastard! Raymond thought over and over again as he listened to Raven explain their situation.

"Oh, well that's easy enough. What does Avaline desperately want that she can't have? What does she want that she can't take? There must be something, if gods and goddesses have to follow all these rules." Raymond wondered what those rules were exactly, and if he could put them to good use.

Raymond finally decided to hell with it, they were all grown adults, and if the two sisters could deal with it, Raymond could deal with it. He'd just have to walk around with a hard on.

 

[LadyFairy]

Alright i'll bow to your judgement in this one as you have already been thru this. Wyn said to Raven as she looked around them. Hearing Raymond say the same thing she had been asking sence this new quest started seemed to frustrate her more but she didnt let it show, and did her best not to blush or show the alarm on her face because for the first time she had actually heard a human's thoughts, and hadnt ment too...

Wyn had never tryed to read a humans thoughts before and handt ment to do so now, and hoped that it was simply that she and her sister were stronger now that they were together.

Wyn couldnt help but wonder how much more powerful they all would be together again. Especally sence herself sence she had never pushed beyone anamials and wouldnt.. Shaking her head she tryed to think of what they would need to get started. Raymond if you will help Raven try to figure out the map. Then i will go see if any of the animals around here can help out in our quest. Lets just pray there are some intellegent enough to speak with me.. she said with a smile as she turned and slipped off thru the trees.

Wyn new not to go far and begain speaking in a genaral anamal language hoping that perhaps one of them would be curious enough about a human speaking their common language for them to speak with her... Once an animal came forward then she could switch to its specific language and hopefully convers with it.

Raven Wyn and Raymond...in the heat of South America

Raven saw that Wyn heard something in her mind ...she felt her confusion ..not sure why she was but smiled at her sweetly and lovingly watched as her sister walked off into the trees. Still looking away from Raymond she felt his gaze and raising her eye brow she smiled . Here she was left alone with a strange man in the middle of nowhere and he had a raging hard on that she was trying to avoid looking at...oh hell...she wanted to see it...she wanted to feel it and touch and taste it. Shaking her head slowly she tried her damnest to get those thoughts out of her head and even more so to block them form her sister...it was Wyn's quest after all and this was her "guy".

But she felt and knew Wyn was thinking of another...oh man she was confused...she so wanted to be nasty and naughty...Raven felt the urge to be near him. Shaking her head slightly she told herself no...it was not a good thing...she needed to figure out the map...and get them the hell out of here and back to normal times...their time.

Leaning over a big rock she placed the map down and kept her back turned from Raymond...that way less temptation...not seeing how much he was straining in the mere cloth that barely covered his massive hard on..
Damn no matter what she tried to think of or to do...his bulging package kept running through her head...making her very aroused.

So you have no idea how this thing works?

 

[larrion]

Raymond wanted to sit down, but he knew it was a bad idea. He saw one sister walk off into the woods with a strange expression on her face, and the other one went and stretched her body over on a rock.

This is -really- not helping. Raymond thought as he tried not to openly ogle Raven.

So, to avoid tempting himself, Raymond also turned around and looked away as if admiring the view of the land. He'd much rather admire something else, but it felt shallow too bounce around woman to woman, much less sister to sister.

So you have no idea how this thing works?

I have a vague idea. Point and click, sort of. The big guy just pointed his finger to somewhere on the map, and apparently that's where you and your sister was. I'm not sure if I got here because of that map or if it was because of him though. Raymond answered honestly, trying his best to remember.

For no reason whatsoever, another thought flashed through Raymond's mind. It was of Io and her asian lover.

Was Io a lesbian? No, there was another man she held tenderly towards her. Then it should be alright if... no, still bad. Definitely a bad idea. Raymond stopped that train of thought as soon as he could. No sense in convincing himself otherwise.

Karl & Io //Germany 1942

"Karl if it would help and if I may, I would like to show you something. But please know I will not do anything to run or hide from you. Nor will I try to escape, while Avaline is here I am bound to stay with her."

Karl nods his agreement knowing that short of vanishing into thin air she couldn’t leave the mansion without his permission. When she changed her hair colour he was startled and immediately reached for his revolver at his waist, stopping himself before drawing it. He’d seen stage magicians do tricks and although she was trying to convince him that magic really existed in her time he thought it was the same sort of trick used on stage as cutting a woman in half.

"Magic does exist in my time, please you have to believe me. I know you are doing the best you can for Avaline and I do so greatly appreciate it. But we are not spies, we are just two travelers lost in your time."

There it was again travellers lost in time, it just didn’t make sense to carry on with the same ridiculous story if they were spies, but at the same time what better way to convince him that they weren’t spies than to used this story. He knew that Avaline had told the truth about Egypt but if she was a spy she could have found this information through her work.

Karl could see that Io was really upset and when she put her head down he knew that she was distressed, but didn’t know what to do about it. Normally if it was a lady of his acquaintance he’d go over to her and put his arm around her letting her cry on his shoulder. With this young woman who he still hadn’t made his mind up about, that was certainly out of the question.

“You must be tired, I think it’s time for bed. The doctor will inform us if we’re needed and I think a good nights sleep will do you good. We can talk some more tomorrow,” Karl said to Io getting up from his desk and indicating that she should follow him to his room.

Io followed Karl and was surprised to see a bed set up for her behind a screen with Karl's large double bed at the other end of the room closer to the door than hers. She'd noticed that the guards had followed them and stationed themselves outside the door.

 

[LadyChance]

Io/Karl/Germany/1942

Nodding my head quietly I follow Karl out of the room wiping at my eyes, I could tell by the look on his face that once again he did not believe me. Shaking my head slightly with frustration I follow him to his room, noticing that we are not alone. The guards though there stayed far enough back to allow Karl some privacy and respect.

The room's furnishing were simple and I could tell it was a mans room. Upon closer examination of the room I could see that it held, two comfortable chairs setting in front of the fireplace. Two nightstands, a rather large bed, a wardrobe. Furtherest from the door was the biggest surprise, a screen had been set up and behind it a smaller bed.

Stepping further into the room I turn around in time to see that the guards did not come into the room but stayed outside stationing themselves just outside. Shyly looking at Karl before lowering my eyes. Turning I walk quietly to the screen, quietly saying to Karl before disappearing behind it. "Thank you again, I know your still not believing me but thank you for even listening to me. Goodnight."

Sitting down upon the bed I let a heart felt sigh escape before standing once more removing all my clothing but my shift. Folding them neatly I place them on the end of the bed before climbing slowly between the covers. Rolling over to face away from the other part of the room I let my thoughts drift over the past few days. Soon though tears begin to flow quietly from my eyes, as my thoughts take me back to my sisters. Were they feeling as lost as I was right now, or was it just me? Avaline had said that some had made it home, one had found what was needed, and Wyn was on her way.

I could only hope that they were all safe with Avaline here who was watching over them keeping them safe. What other gods would listen to us if we called I wondered, what if none of them would, if there was no one else to hear our cries then we were all lost never to see the other again.

With my thoughts my tears fell more rapidly, mixed with soft sobs of loss, we hadn't wanted this. But we had screwed up and asked for that which we could not have. No longer did I want Mr. Right I just wanted to be safe, I wanted Avaline to be a Goddess again safe and sound up in her clouds. I wanted to see my sisters again to know they were safe. At that moment I would have given anything to see my home again. I would have even have liked to know that Raymond had made it out safe. That had been bothering me a lot, had Raymond made it safe was he out there alone looking for me. Or had he been lost to me as well? Only time would tell and for some reason I felt that time just wasn't on my side now.

I didn't know when sleep finally claimed me, but it didn't take long before I slipped into a nightmare. One of which I couldn't seem to escape, I was running and someone or something was chasing me. I could hear them I just couldn't see them, my fear grew to the point that I was screaming in my dream or was it my voice I was hearing? Someone or something grabbed me and held me pinned, I found that I couldn't move my screams becoming hysterical. Fighting for all the I am worth now, I fight for my life and that of my sisters. But the grip upon me just tightens its hold, crying my out my frustration of my captivity. I felt that if I couldn't get free then I would be lost all would be lost. How could I fail my sisters and Avaline so badly, how could I have let this happen. It was all my fault and I knew it, for surely as I was breathing this was my fault and there was to be no escape.
No I couldn't give up just like that there had to be a way out someone to help me. Raymond was still out there he would come for me. Crying out once more the only thing I could think of. "Help Me... HELP ME!"

Raven, Wyn, and Raymond.....Inca ruins,South America

"Umm...do you think you could show me exactly how you saw this "big guy" do that?...It might give me a better idea on how we may or may not be able to activate the travel part of it or if it searches?....That is if you don't mind?"

Raven then turned to look at Raymond and smiled in a sweet innocent sort of
way at him. It would help to see what this other "big guy" did....then she might try it and see what happened. Raven could feel his inner conflict and didn't wish to stress him out anymore than she had to , but damn he was a sight, no matter what he was wearing. No, she would not go there, till she knew it was ok with Wyn... Wyn did not seem to be interested in him in the slightest...her feelings, that Raven picked up were vague to say the least and indifferent at best. But, till she knew for sure, she would wait and complete the task at hand. Figuring out this "map".
Tilting her head slightly, she looked over at Raymond..."I don't bite...I promise", she said as she smiled his way.

A most distressing feeling came over her suddenly., she stared off into the
distance foer a moment and the feelings of one of the sisters came over her.
They were so close that at times they felt one anothers most intense
feelings.

This was one of those times, the feeling came so strong that it knocked the wind out of her. She felt weakened and lost her balance, crumpling to the ground in front of Raymond. The words .."Help me...HELP ME" rang through her head as loud as if the sister was beside her.
Raven gasped and as she crumpled .."She's in trouble...Oh goddess, we have to help her!". Then everything went black.

 

[larrion]

Raven, Wyn, and Raymond.....Inca ruins,South America

Raymond heard Raven calling for help, and he turned and bolted as soon as she did. She had almost fallen off of the rock, but he caught her before she did.

Raven? RAVEN! Wyn! Your sister! She just passed out! Raymond shouted.

I'm... not gonna stand by and do nothing this time!Raymond thought as he carefully lay Raven down on the ground. His hard on had evaporated when he saw Raven was in trouble.

 

[LadyFairy]

Wyn had been looking around at some of the animals an had gone farther than she had ment to as she spotted an Iguana, a Coatimundi, sevral boa's and snakes. Thinking back to her mid term papers in collage she reolized that they were in south america, but she wasnt sure which region. Wether they were near the amazon river or north of it our south... If they could find the Amazon though maybe they could find a way out.

Turning back to tell Raven and Raymond that she thought they were in South America, and that she hadnt had any luck with the animals, because they were ether to stupid to talk to her or just to stubborn.

She hadnt taken two steps when she was suddenly knocked on her ass hearing a voice in her head she new had to be Io's ..."Help Me... HELP ME!" Wyn was used to mental messages from animal's it was a sort of telepthy, and had had that breif connection with Raymond that she had hoped wouldnt repeat it's self.

So she had some barriers up to protect herself, from unwelcome infromation just incase, but this was of a much stronger calaber as it was comming across time and space. It took everything in her power not to pass out.

Wyn didnt know how long she lay there on the ground and at the moment didnt really care. She needed to get to Raven and Raymond so they could use the disk, or map to get to Io she was in danger and needed them...

Taking slow even breaths Wyn slowly and carefully made her way back to her feet, and did her best not to pass out as the world spun around her. Ohhhh my god Io.. she said holding her head a moment. Ok i can do this.. she said as she moved slowly from one tree to the next trying to get back to Raven and Raymond and hoping she was going in the right direction.

After walking that way for about 5 min Wyn decided to try calling for one of the animals again... Hear me please those of you animals who can... I seek aid back to my sister and our companion Raymond.... We wish you no harm, but i am i'll and afraid that my sister may be also.

Wyn waited hoping that one of the animals would awncer, and after a few moments decided to try moving forward again when she heard one of the group of Coatimundi above her in the trees. I will guide you back human... How is it that you can speak with us??? Wyn sighed in releif, and as she followed the Coatimundi and awncered its questions.

He was a rather cute fellow with brown fur and a ringed tail who's family pack travled above them in the three's. If she remembered her studies correctly he was omnivores eating both meat and plants.. mostly ....... lizards incects and rodents.. as well as friut's and nuts..and is a relation of the racoon. Looking up as she carfuly made her way on wobbly legs Wyn couldnt help but smile as one of them turned upside down to stop and eat.... Grinning she looked back to her guide who she had discoverd's name was Ramo.... Hear you are your sister and friend are thru those bushes... Thank you for awncering my questions ... you are curious for a human... If you need me again just call...

Wyn smiled and nodded her head. Thank you i truly appreceate your aid. Wyn said and watched her friends dissapear into the trees before calling out to Raymond and her sister for help.... Raymond?? ... Raven??..

Seeing them in view as she made her way thru the trees her aniamal friends had shown her she very carefully and slowly made her way twords them and did her best not to through up in the process... Seeing Raven on the ground and Raymond checking to see if she were alright Wyn knew she had been hit by the same thing that had knocked her on her ass.... Io's distress..... Raymond!! Raymond,.... Is she alright??? Wyn yelled picking up her pace a litte more to try and get to her sister.

 

[larrion]

I don't know! She just shouted and fainted for some reason! She nearly fell off that boulder, but other then fainting she's fine. Raymond answered, trying not to get upset.

Raymond was worried though. Very worried.

 

[LadyFairy]

Wyn's long black hair fell over her sholders like a curten as she dropped to her knees next to her sister. Her golden eyes reflecting worrie as she checked to make sure Raven hadnt hit her head and gotten a concussion on top of Io's request for help... She is alright and should wake up shortly... I would heal us both accept it took nearly all the energy i had to stay awake.

Io is in trouble and as soon as Raven wakes up then we are going to do more time jumping were going to help her... Dont ask i know your going to, but right now thats a lot of info.. and i am doing what i can not to throw up.. When my stomach settles then i'll awncer your questions. Wyn said as she sat down next to Raven in the sand and looked over at Raymond.

Knowing that he was going to have sevrel questions that they would need to awncer. She just hoped he would take it all better than Scytherin had... Thinking of Scytherin Wyn hopped that he was alright were ever he was, and that he was happy. So you know ... we are in South America... I was looking at some of the animals and put two and two together... i am just not sure where exactly in South America we are..... i think i can awncer some of your questions if you really want to know the awncers. Wyn said ignoring her stomach.. it had settled some now that she wasnt moving and she new talking would help pass the time until her sister woke.

 

[larrion]

No, there's time for that later. Right now, your sister needs help. What do you want me to do? Raymond asked, not caring at the moment for anything else other then to try and help Raven.

 

[bullshot]

Karl / Io //Germany 1942

Karl got into bed and lay there thinking about what the girls had told him, it was the first moment he’d had to consider their story properly without the distraction of a lovely girl in front of him. Could they really be a couple lost in time, where Io sisters also lost in various other times, wouldn’t their very presence alter time. They the realisation struck him if they altered time, neither he nor they would know it as their memories would alter accordingly, so if their story was true they’d already altered things without their knowledge. Io’s trick also had him thinking he’d seen all sorts of tricks by stage magicians but had never seen one change their appearance as she had in front of his eyes. The more he thought about it the more convinced he was that they were telling him the truth, the problem facing him now was what to do with them.

He couldn’t bring himself to hand them over to Gestapo headquarters in Berlin, he knew what would happen if he did. They obviously must have some idea of where they wanted to go next, the question was could he help them. With his position he could certainly keep them hidden from outside interference in his headquarters, and could help to a certain extent outside. He needed to know where they were heading before deciding what help he could give.

Karl could hear Io sobbing on the other side of the screen, but refrained from speaking not wanting to intrude on her grief. At some point he must have drifted off to sleep because he suddenly heard a scream that caused him to sit upright in his bed.

"Help Me... HELP ME!"

He heard Io shouting, he shot out of his bed wearing only his shorts and rushed around the screen to find Io still asleep but thrashing around as if held in position.

“Io! Wake up it’s a bad dream,” Karl shouted as he took hold of her shoulders and shook her trying to wake her up. “Io! Io! Your safe here I wont let anyone hurt you,” Karl shouted trying to stop her shouting. He knew the guards wouldn’t interfere, they would just think he was having his fun with her, he didn’t really care what they thought. He was worried about Io at the moment and needed to reassure her that he believed her and wanted to help.

 

[cobrasangel]

Wyn , Raymond and Raven.....South America

Her sister Io's voice resonated through her mind over and over again...she was alive but she was in danger...they all were...they were at the mercy of the gods and goddesses above and they should have known better than to mess with them.,...no wonder they were in trouble or danger. She felt the fear and the saddness coming from Io and felt herself rushing back to the surface from the depths of her mind.

A soft moan came from Raven as hyer eyelids fluttered and she slowly opened
her eyes. Trying to focus her breathing a little shallow and not sure where
she was she looked up into the face of Raymond. Unable to turn off the feelings and the thoughts that she got from others , she felt his distress and the nuturer and healer came automatically out of her.

"Shhh its ok, it will be alright", she whispered. Not completely aware that it was her that he was worried about. She felt his concern and worry and wanted to make him feel better and then her thoughts went to her sisters and the memory of them all together and now seperated came flooding back to her in a rush.

She held on tight to Raymond and whimpered into his shoulder as the tears
began to fall from her large dark eyes.Her shoulders shook as all the fears and stress rushed along through her from this quest and the uncertainty of what was to happwen to them...with not knowing if they were doing the right things or not and not wanting to upset the gods and goddesses as their anger could put them into even more dire circumstances, her gentle sobs wracked her body as Raymond held her against his chest.

Hearing Wyn's voice she almost cried out, as she realized where she was and
that she had least one of her sisters with her. She clung desperately to Raymond for support in this somewhat weakened state and to just be held by someone much stronger than she felt. She felt safe and comforted in his arms.

Raven could not help but to think of his recent aroused state and now being so close to him and his face so near to her own she was unable to stop herself. Finding his mouth so near she reached up and kissed him softly and fully tasting the beads of sweat that had appeared on his upper lip and feeling the softness and warmth of his mouth on hers.

Pushing herself back and staring up at him in embarassment and horror...she
apologized over and over again.

"Oh my goddess...I am soo sorry... I didnt mean to and I wouldn't ....I mean I
couldn't help it.... I ...didnt want to do that but.... I did but...I....oh can you ever forgive me ...?"

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Avaline rested on the small cot, the two guards hovered over her, the nurse made constant trips back and forth from Avaline’s bed to the doctor, carrying charts, marking papers, adjusting machines, taking readings. Everyone seemed to be busy, everyone except the patient, she just seemed to be.

The night wore on, the war raged on and people continued to die as battles were fought, and children were murdered for whatever reason someone had at the time. Avaline’s body tried to heal, the doctor and nurse did all they could, leaving it in the hands of God. A God that at this time, so few believed in, but for those that did, it was their only hope. Little did anyone realize that the woman on the bed was once one of them... one of those Gods and Goddesses that others wished to be.

She lay there, her body still, her heart beating, her blood flowing through her veins, everything mortal about her, everything but her memories. It was those memories that filled her mind as she slept. Memories of her past life, her life of power and interference.

Avaline slept in the drug induced state and as she did she relived her life. She saw her love, the human she had bore a child with, the one that she had loved with all her heart, and she had lost when he took her child from her, proclaimed her a fool and left her alone. Avaline relived the funeral that the mortals had for her deceased love and her daughter, two special humans that she would have given all for, if her love had asked, but in the end he didn’t want her, he only wanted the child, and she watched in silence as they were both lowered in the ground.

Her dreams moved faster through the air, she saved children, fixed marriages, ended relationships that were harmful for one or the other... then her dream slowed down, hovered over a group of women. These women were all beautiful, gifted and talented each one special and unique but when together they were beyond anything one could imagine. They were bonded together not only by blood or name, but my heart, soul and compassion. Avaline’s thoughts ran through her mind, she dreamed of the quests, and the searches she placed upon them.

Quests that would have changed the world, but in the end Avaline had known she would not allow these women to alter the facts of the past, each one was just supposed to realize that they were to materialistic in their lives. The Goddess placed herself on a pedestal and sat as Judge and Jury, telling the women what to do, showing them their faults and their fickle natures. In the end, she met others, a warrior woman, one that she led toward another woman from a different time, a woman that Avaline herself had caused torment, by accident.

A whimper escaped the sleeping woman, and a whispered name fell from her lips.

“What did she say?” the guard asked the other.

“Richard,” he muttered. “This could be important... perhaps it is a General or Commander. I will go and inform our commander.”

The other guard nodded and watched as the woman’s face twisted in pain and the nurse rushed over to her side. “What is wrong with her now?” the guard asked the nurse.

“She is losing the will to continue.”

 

[larrion]

Raymond held onto Raven tightly, letting her cry against him and he felt a tug of emotions inside of him.

This... feels familiar. Oh yeah, with her. In my own time. I remember this, it feels ni-

Raymond's thoughts were cut off when Raven suddenly kissed him, and almost instinctively, he found himself kissing back, and he held her tighter then he did before.

Then she pushed herself away and began apologizing.

Of course... she must've thought I was someone else.

"It's alright Raven. Forget it. Are you alright?" Raymond asked a little stoically.

Someone else. It's just as well. I can't very well and start falling head over heels for everyone beautiful woman I see. Especially if they're sisters. Damnit.

Raymond stood up and let Wyn tend to her sister, looking to see where the map had fallen. He found it and picked it up.

 

[cobrasangel]

Wyn , Raymond and Raven....South America

Raven watched as Raymond got up and left her in the care of her sister and she sighed as she watched him walk away...the feel of his lips and his mouth were incredible and lingered on her own.

"I am fine ...really Wyn I am...I ...just was knocked for a loop when that feeling came over me...did you feel it too?"

As hard as she tried to concentrate on Wyn...her mind kept going back to
Raymond and ...she didn't want to push him away she wanted to feel his arms
around her...to feel his lips once more...now she felt as if she had lost her chance ...he must think I do not like him and closing her eyes and feeling for his thoughts she was right.

If only....if only he could hear her thoughts and her desires...but...he was not like her and her sisters...seeing him pick up the map and studying it once more she could only look at him wistfully. She wanted him...and only wished he felt the same way.

"Did you get anything from the animals Wyn?"

"I think we have some time concerning Io ...but I am not sure how much time we have...we need to hurry...or do you think we should do something now...I think I am well to continue now"

 

[LadyChance]

Io/Karl/Germany/1942

A voice out of the darkness called to me holding to me and comforting me bringing me back. Even though I could hear myself calling for help and feel the tears upon my face, I couldn't seem to stop crying. All seemed lost to me, my sisters, Raymond, Michiko, Avaline. They were all beyond my ability to help to recieve help and yet someone was holding me. Brushing at my hair and saying soothing words of understanding.

"Karl, oh Karl I have lost them all, what am I to do? I am so lost, how do I get back to my time. I wanted a love to hold me and need me as much as I needed him but now I don't care I just want Avaline back up in her clouds and I want to go home to my sisters."

Continuing to cry as I nuzzle further into Karl's shoulder, only now my cries are no longer of distress but have changed to that of heartache. The loss of so many weighing so heavily upon me that all I wanted to do at this point was feel someone there with me. Even if he wasn't exactly who I had invisioned, his arms tightened around me pulling me in closer to his warmth. They were so comforting, strong and sure around me, I had never even noticed how good it felt just to be held like this until now.

Saying in a soft husky voice tinged with tears, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to disturb your sleep. Its just a bad dream I know it is, but I.. I just miss my sisters and I am so scared so lost that I just don't know what to do anymore."

 

[larrion]

Okay, I think I figured this out. It'll change with whatever time we're in, I think, because this definitely looked different before. When I picked it up, the three of our names appeared on it... so I guess that's what the guy with the beard meant when he said he was giving it to me. I also think... I'm not sure, but I think I have to be in a high emotional state for it to work, like I am right now. So, if I'm pissed off, or really sad, or horny, or scared, or whatever, then it'll work. Then, I think I just have to point to wherever I want to go and we'll go there. You... might want to hold on though, just in case. Raymond said as he studied the map, surprised that anything had actually happened when he did so.

Raven... are you sure you're okay to travel? I know you're strong enough to kiss someone if you wanted, but do you think you'll be able to walk? Raymond said as he knelt next to Raven with a smile in an attempt to lighten everyone's spirits.

 

[cobrasangel]

Wyn, Raymond , Raven....South America

"Well...I am a little weak and wobbly yet...I think I can manage"

Raven got to her feet with the help of Wyn and Raymond and just as she stood up fully....her legs gave way again just as fast.

"Woah...I guess not"...feeling a little light headed..she clung onto Raymond's arm tightly, lest she fall to the ground.

"Perhaps I best wait...maybe rest for the night and see how I feel in the
morning....then Wyn will be at full strength as well...to heal us if we are still feeling ill"

Being so close tio him and feeling the warmth that came off his body ...she really thought that she may swoon for real. He was all man alright. That hard on earlier was proof of that. His thoughts and feelings were of the kind that were confused and yet wanting...desiring...but he was holding back...for what??

She would have to find out more about him. Wyn may know more than she...she would ask her when and if he went off for a bit...to relieve himself or get wood for a fire or something. Perhaps if her sister really had no inclinations toward him she would make a move on him herself. She could always make sure that Wyn slept soundly...very soundly. Raven grinned at her own thoughts...and hid her sly grin as best she could from her sister and Raymond. Night was coming..and with it , they would find out how warm the South American nights really were.

When Raven grabbed onto his arm, Raymond could have sworn he saw her smile. He didn't comment on it though, he was still worried for her safety. Part of it might have been an act, like when she grabbed onto his arm, but Raven's sister had seemed to also suffer from a similar experience.

"Great. South American bugs and nocturnal animals to keep us company. I guess we'd better find shelter or something. I just hope we aren't in the time of blood sacrificing locals. Is there anywhere close by you can think of that'd be a good shelter for us? I just have to have an idea of where it is, then... oh shit." Raymond said as he unrolled the map and examined it with his free hand.

It wasn't working again.

Damnit, I guess I have to be highly emotional for this to work. That's going to make things difficult.

Karl / Io //Germany 1942

Karl listened to Io as she sobbed her worries out to him.

“Don’t be scared I’ll help you as much as I can, I don’t know what we’re going to do but with the help of your gods I’m sure we’ll find your sisters and get you all home again safely,” he told her hoping that he was right. "They should help Avaline as well if they're listening."

She moved her head off his shoulder to look at him obviously not sure that she’d heard correctly. He kissed her tears from her cheeks then kissed her gently on her lips feeling the sudden need to show affection to her.

“I’m sorry,” he said as he broke the kiss. “I just wanted to show that I do care what happens to you,” he said feeling embarrassed that he’d taken advantage of an upset young woman that he wanted to help.

There was a loud knocking at the door before he could say anything else. “Quick into your bed before I let them in,” he said to Io. As she got back into bed he returned to his own bed before calling. “Yes! What is it?”. The door opened and one of the guards who was with Avaline entered.

“What’s the matter?” Karl asked.

“The patient called out for Richard,” the guard told him. “We thought it might be important,” he added.

“Thank you, now get back to your duty,” Karl said and waited until the guard had left and shut the door behind him.

“Did you hear that?” he asked Io as he got out of bed again. Io was coming around the screen as he moved. “Who is Richard?” he asked.

Io/Karl/Germany/1942

“Who is Richard?”

Panic was her first thought, how did she explain about Richard, that he was the Goddess's love? That he was just a man who had captured the heart of Avaline.. What did I say to that?

"Richard was brought in to help us through our quests for the Goddess, Avaline and him fell in love. But I have no clue where Richard is now, Avaline mentioned him in her story to the children but I can't remember what she said about him."

Shivering with fear as well as cold I cross the room quickly to stand before Karl. Looking up into his eyes, letting him see the worry in mine. For some reason I knew Karl had meant every word he had said and for that I trusted him.

"I don't know how to help Avaline without find Richard, but I have an idea who might know where to find him. And maybe they can help us as well, if you will permit me to cast a calling to my sisters. It won't bring them here but I can ask my questions and if I am strong enough it will get to one of them. I need to be near Avaline when I do this though. Can we please go to her and be near her, maybe it will help her to know that I am close as well."

Seeing his nod of agreement, I turn and begin to step back towards the screen to dress. Stopping only a foot away from him I turn back to him, taking a quick step forward, stepping on my tiptoes I place a soft kiss upon his lips. Then stepping back and hurrying behind the screen.

Wyn didn't say anything and kept her thoughts blocked from her sister, She had been swamped with Io's feelings earlier and didn't need Ravens, or Raymond’s feelings of lust added to them... As she listened to Raymond talk about the map she continued to keep her own counsel as she and Raymond helped Raven to her feet and she fell down once again.

Giving a sigh she answered Raven when Raymond was finished talking about a shelter and tried not to sound upset or angry at the whole situation said. As for the animals no I made one friend along with his family but didn't learn much other that that we are in South America, and I say we hang the damned gift it will still be there later... Io needs us and I don't think there is as much time as you do.... She had to be in serious trouble, or distress for us to feel it across time, and space... As soon as I have the energy I will heal us and we can go... I don't want to waist time if I can help it.... Something is very, very wrong. I know you can feel it too. We can always come back for the gift but we Io is not replicable nor can we get her later....

Wyn looked at Raven and Raymond and seeing the looks on their faces felt bad because she hadn't meant to take her frustration out on them. She new Raven understood that and if she let her barriers down would feel even more than just her words, but she didn't know what else to do... I am sorry I didn't mean to take it out on you two its just well Gerri... she said with a grin in an attempt to make things a little better...

Getting to her knees Wyn used the bolder that Raven had fallen off of to try and stand her stomach wasn't upset anymore and she was feeling somewhat better. Its amazing what a little grumbling will do for you... she thought as she smiled and moving closer to Raven knelt down beside her again and concentrating her hands begin to glow... Restoring energy as well as health and strength to Raven.

When she was done she sat back against the bolder, and smiled. Looking up at Raymond she said. Let me see that map a moment. I am still highly emotional we can see if it just works for you or if anyone can use it that way.
