Raven/Io/Wyn

Raven's mind was a blurr of images and thoughts and she was lost to all around her...such distortion played on her ..the image of Avaline raising the blade above her and thrusting it deep in her and the blackness swallowing her up.

Voices murmuring around her seeking her calling to her...the darkness to thick to reach back to them.
Then she hears a voice slicing through the darkness and finding its way to her... touching her....caressing her mind, seductively enclosing it in a web of darkness and deceit, words that formed lies and would destroy and be destructive towards one she held dear...forcing and taking over the untainted part of her...blackening everything deep within her mind.
Backing away from the words that entered her mind she was unable to get past them ...unable to see through their seductive alluring draw on her soul.

“Raven the men will find you here... tell them of the riddles... and travel with them along the path on Raymond's map. Once they get here someone will arrive with a missive... and the first riddle.“

Raven's eyelids flickered unnoticed in the darkness of the cave as her mind was taken over and warped by Zeus. Slowly she began to crawl slowly out of the darkness that clouded her from within. Sensing the presence of others around her...she reached for the escape from her mind.

With a gasp..her eyes flew open and she scrambled backwards away from those near her and backed into a wall she covered her head and face and shuddered in the gloom of the cave. Hearing the familiar voices of her sisters, she tries to focus on the faces and seeing them coming closer to her she shivers. Looking around she has no clue where she is.
"Where am I....we...I was alone and no one was near...where is she?"

Karl / Avaline / NPC's // Chicago 2005

As Tony disappeared into the back room, Avaline twisted in Karl’s arm and kissed him full on the lips, her tongue pressing into his mouth. Before Karl could object Avaline had broken the kiss and apologised, moving slightly so that they weren’t both occupying the same space, but staying close enough to give the impression that they were a couple.

“Forgive me. I hope that added to the illusion of us, I'm sorry... I shouldn't have done that.” Avaline apologised again just as Tony returned.

“She's at her apartment. You're lucky I found something with you name on it, or you'd be dead right now,” Tony told them throwing an old calendar onto the bar. “Use Jake’s old apartment upstairs, it’s empty now he and Lily are married,” Tony said as he threw the keys to Karl. “I wouldn't come down here tonight if I were you... you're lady friend would be prime pickins' for the rowdy crowd,” he told Karl.

Karl had already realised that Avaline was the centre of attention for both the men and surprisingly the women, taking hold of Avaline’s arm he guided her around the bar and up the stairs. He unlocked the apartment door and ushered Avaline inside before closing and bolting the door although he knew it wouldn’t stand a sustained attack. A quick inspection of the apartment revealed a sitting room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. Checking the fridge he found some cheese and salad, the cupboards had some tinned meat in them so they could have something to eat.

“I’ll take the bedroom nearest the door, if they decide to come after us it’ll be you they’re after. I know what the guys will do but I’m not sure what the women will do with you, but from the looks on their faces they certainly had something in mind,” Karl told Avaline once he was sure they were alone in the apartment.

“Do you know where Lily’s apartment is or will we need to get Tony to guide us in the morning?” Karl asked once they’d settled down in the sitting room. Karl just couldn’t understand the lawlessness of the place, the patrol they’d met and the customers in the bar, they all seemed ready to rape Avaline and if he interfered to kill him out of hand. Something had gone drastically wrong, even the countries that had been occupied during the war didn’t have that sort of thing happening.

“I’m going to turn in, I don’t know if you need rest as a goddess but I certainly do,” Karl told Alvaline as he headed for the room he’d chosen, stopping at the door he asked. “Have you decided what you’re going to do with Lily to keep her safe?”

Finding the right path......

(Failing Powers.......a half dead human........and a missing map.)
"Great...." Draken looked about his surroundings trying to pull everything together. He was strong, and had the musclular system of a dragon to show for it. But arrogant? Maybe that was instilled into his training as a Samurai, Proud....honor bound, and tied to his blade. Arrogance was simply a title, an overview of his true soul.

Suddenly the God appeared once more, if only for an instant to whisper about his impending defeat at the hands of Avaline. "We shall see God......we shall see. It seems like my life depends on this goddess death. So either way i have no choice but to win this fight." The god dissapeared without another word leaving the mortal and the Draconic alone on a battlefield of death.

"The map........" !O_O! suddenly something dawned on Draken. "If this map is supposed to be so magical, maybe activating it will place it back into the hands of its owner.....which seems to be Raymond.....Just gotta find some shelter so i can attempt to heal him again." Draken shook his head, grabed Raymond and put him over his shoulder and proceeded to head in the direction of the nearest cavern.

(Im on my way Wyn....../We're/ on our way....)

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Avaline looked over the apartment and desperately wanted to improve it, but she didn't, she would conserve her energy, she had no way of knowing what they would find once they found Lily or if she would have to protect Karl from the World below. His words brought her up short and she looked at him, defeat showing in her eyes for a brief second, then she turned away. “No... I've no clue, I've never felt so blind in my entire existance. You rest... I will when I'm ready.“ She watched him leave her and once again she felt the weight of all her decision pull at her.

Her hands moved to her hair and she combed her fingers through the shining silver white mane. She sat down on the small sofa and lay on her side, her fingers toying with the carpet as she thought of the men and women in her care, she would be leaving them, the pieces of the puzzle were sliding into place and when the final one was made, she would find herself in the grip of death, unable to break away. You can be free Avaline... you can feel me inside you, growing stronger, you know what he did... don't you. You know your friend ordered your death. Your Zues played in a field even he can't control and you can defeat him at his own game. Avaline closed her eyes and pressed her hands to her temple. “Go away,” she muttered, finally speaking to the voice that was whispering to her from inside.

I knew you'd give in, listen to me. He is going to have you killed, you the great Avaline. You can't let him, you must take them all and dispose of them, let me have them, let me take them one by one. I want to feed from them Avaline... I'm hungry. “NO!” she screamed and sat up, pushing herself away from the sofa and moved to the spare bedroom. Her eyes passed Karl's room, the door closed. She smiled to herself, all ready seeing that he was a gentleman and left her alone, not questioning the kiss that she had forced on him.

Fool! You could have him, you could take him anytime, force him to your will. Hold him in check... look what his people did to the World... take him Avaline its been so long for you. You can smell him and he is yours right now not that mortal's. Avaline paused at her door, closed her eyes and sent a bolt of energy through her entire body, she screamed in pain, and felt the being inside her collapse for a moment. She shook in anger, her head pounding as she eased her door open and made it to her bed, her entire body weak from the power she used.

The bed seemed to loom up to her, as her body fell to it, her eyes closed and she lay there, no longer caring for anything just needing to rest. Her breathing slowed, her body curled and she was still, her mind closed as she tried to heal from the inside out, and rid herself of the evil within.

 

[LadyFairy]

Thank you Io .. Your Karl sounds alot like you.. Wyn said with a smile as Io tossed her the bag, and Wyn pulled out some clean clothing. Shorts, socks, tang top, light waight button up shirt, panties, hiking boots.. ect...

After dressing Wyn handed the bag back to Io just as Raven woke and started to freak out...Slowly moving forward but staying far enough back that Raven wouldnt feel crowed Wyn started talking to her. Raven ... Raven it's Wyn .... Its ok ... Io is here too. Were safe for now. Who are you talking about hun.

 

[cobrasangel]

Not believing that what she was seeing was all as it should be...she eyed the "sisters" as they called themselves and watched them closely.

"I saw her...umm...a woman standing before me...she....she..."

Not trusting those around her she stops and looks at them. Pressing harder into the wall behind her...she feels their concern ...yet she trusts it not.

 

[LadyChance]

Io/Raven/Wyn

Seeing the horror on Raven's face when she woke and scooted away from us comfirmed my worst fears. Zues had played with her mind only Raven's mind was so much more accessed do to her talents that it had damaged her trust as well.

"Raven Hun, its ok no one will hurt you, we are safe. The guys will come in the morning you will see." Thrusting about trying to think of a way that she would know it was us and not some illusion that her mind had thought up. Looking about me I see Wyn staring quietly watching Raven. Concern plain on her face as I was sure it was upon my own.

Then a thought catches hold and I begin to hum the small bedtime tune momma had use to hum to us all before bed. It was soft and playful, and all of us girls had loved it, vowing to use it when we had children of our own. But none of us had, had children yet so it had gone unused until now.

Sitting down on the floor a few feet away from Raven, I continue to hum hearing Wyn join in behind me with the soft tune. I smile at Raven and continue hoping that it would help to calm her, I wasn't going to push my way to her that would just make things worst.

The whole time I swore to pay back Zues when I got the chance, he was going to be hurting and if I had anything to do with it he would know that I had something to do with it. Though how I was going to hurt a god I didn't know but I was dead set to do it one way or the other.

 

[leopardlover]

Jake wanders through the party, garnering information from those around him. He looks around for Lily at the same time, wanting to talk to her, to find some things out about why things seem so odd, so out of place, particularly with her. He asks around and finally is told by someone that they thought they saw her headed towards the back where the bedrooms are.

He hears faint noises from her room so knocks, trying to figure them out. He gets nmo response so knocks again. When there is still no response Jake moves in quickly but carefully, trying to find out what is wrong. He sees the man now atop Lily, holding her down to the bed as he rips off her clothing. He charges in with amazing speed for a guy his size and lifting him with one arm uppercuts him with the other, sending the man flying to crash into the wall where he slumps, unconscious.

Jake looks down to Lily, trying to help her up. "You okay Sis?"

 

[ZuesTheGod]

Zues and Hetta

Zues rose from his bed, walked to the gardens, and stared at Hetta. Her hair glowed, surrounded by the night sky as the twinkling lights of the stars danced across her face. “Forgive me?” he asked.

She turned and sighed, her arms opening up for him, and soon she was holding him in an embrace, one that he needed now more than ever. His lips found hers and the kiss reminded him why he loved her so much. He touched her hair smoothed it back and pressed his lips to her temple.

“There is nothing to forgive. We disagree, that is all...“ Hetta returned his touch, matching it with the same tender caresses that he gave her. Soon the passion was burning between them and igniting their souls. He pressed himself into her and lifted her from the bench to place her on the bed of soft, green moss.

His eyes ran over her body, caressed her skin, and slowly he moved over her. His tongue traced her mouth, dipping in to steal her taste, recall the texture just as he had that morning. Her essence filled him and he slid his tongue along side hers.

Soon the thoughts of Draken, Avaline, Germany, the beautiful women of Earth, the mortals that they loved, and the man that held the power of a God in his hand, melted away and for a brief moment the Greek God became only the God that sought the love of a woman.

Each move glided the two lovers into a wave of torrent emotions. Both pulling and giving, taking and seeking until the passion that ignited their souls were burning through their veins. When Hetta called out his name hers fell from his lips. They lay still both lost in the perfume of the other, both consumed with the knowledge that their time was limited, a rarity among the Gods, for when it was time he would have to return to Earth and deal further with the destruction of the beauty that was Avaline.

Lily with Jake in Chicago, 2005 German control

Lily trembles her body no longer held down by the man that was hiding in the bedroom, he now lay unconscious on the floor, his nose bleeding. Her eyes blink rapidly and she pulls Jake close to her. Everything comes crashing around her, the fear of the unknown, not understanding when or if things will get better, not understanding why she is pretending to be married to a man that is related to her, not wanting to think that Avaline fucked up her world on purpose. So... with all these mind numbing thoughts running through her she cries on the shoulder of her big brother, her tears soaking his shirt as she mumbles about Gods and Goddesses.

She took a deep breath, “I'm fine.” Her words are hushed by the hiccups that are forced from her. Her head hurts, her eyes hurt, and she feels like the weight of the world is on her shoulders. “I just need to rest,” she told him, still not ready to look into his eyes. She breathed deep again, holding on to his shirt, not quite ready to let go. When she does she wipes her eyes and scoots away, putting distance between them.

“Would you take out the trash please,” she pointed to the man on the floor that was just starting to moan. As he removed the offensive creature she curled under a blanket not bothering to remove the jeans and sweater she wore. She wondered when the meeting would be over and what Jake was planning on doing, now that she was suddenly in a place were evil reigned and goodness was done behind closed doors and in secret meetings she wasn't sure what she was supposed to do anymore. Lily was normally a strong woman, mouthy, and confident, now all she wanted was to go back to the way it was before Avaline fucked up her life. “Damn Witch!” she cursed into the silence of the room.

 

[cobrasangel]

Raven / Io / Wyn

Trembling against the wall I look upon the concerned faces of the women and narrow my eyes at them. Wanting to make sense of what one was saying to me. The pounding in my head was distracting me from hearing all of what she said, but she stayed back from me, of which I was glad.

Slowly I hear the faint strains of something. I try very hard to hear it and grasp what it was. The melody she was humming was a strange little tune....oddly familiar, but I wasn't sure what it was and then the other began to hum as well. I looked at them and strained to figure it out...my head pounded harder and when it sunk deep enough into my psyche I realized I had heard it before, but where i didn't know.

Then it hit me, I gasped and covered my head as the pain was excruciating.
Whispering a name came to me, "Momma...momma's song". I looked up slowly to them and said it aloud tears brimming in my eyes, "Momma's song...Oh Io...Wyn...help me...I don't know whats the matter with me...it hurts"
With that, the tears flowed down my cheeks and I held out my hand to Io.

Karl / Avaline // Chicargo 2005

Hearing Avaline’s words Karl shivered at the implication, “No... I've no clue, I've never felt so blind in my entire existance. You rest... I will when I'm ready.” Here was Io’s Goddess admitting she was so far out of her depth that she didn’t know what she was going to do to keep one of her charges safe.

Karl entered his room and closed the door wondering what part he was going to have to play in this crazy situation they’d found themselves caught up in. Did the change mean that Avaline couldn’t see the future in this time line, he knew that she was going to try to change things back to the original time line but it would help if she could see the future even a little way in this line.

As Karl was dozing off he heard Avaline scream “NO!” he bolted upright and listened for any sounds, he heard her moving towards the other bedroom and assumed she’d fallen asleep in the lounge and had a nightmare, waking herself as well as him with her shout.

Hearing her scream a few seconds later Karl rushed to the door and opened it in time to see Avaline stumbling into the room. Karl followed her and found her curled up on the bed breathing slowly, having satisfied himself that she was just sleeping Karl left Avaline’s room closing the door after himself.

Karl was worried about Avaline, she had a lot of power that she didn’t appear to want to use. He on the other hand had very little power, his only stemmed from his natural German accent. Unfortunately it was a two edged sword, with the authorities it would at least give them time to say something, but with the resistance it was liable to get them killed before they could say they wanted to help. Karl drifted off to sleep with these thoughts going through his mind, along with the question who were Lily and Jake, he hoped he’d find out in the morning.

 

[LadyFairy]

Wyn joined Io in humming their mothers tune and nearly broke down in tears herself when Raven begain speaking to them and reached out for Io. Ohhh Raven its ok hun were here .. Were here. Wyn said quietly slowly moving forward to slip her arms around Io and Raven helping Io to offer comfort.

 

[SweetSerenety18]

Scytherin and a woman

{Finally back...}

Scytherin had about enough now, he wanted Wyn and no one else. This woman that Zeus had placed him with was very nice and kind, they had a great talk of what life was like up her and she loved it. She had wanted sex from him but he denied her request for his heart belonged to another woman. He sighed and looked out the window of the home and saw Zeus, looking down at the world. He looked back at her body that now lay resting on the bed from a rough masturbation session. He walked out and over to Zeus.

If you do not mind...I'd like to go back if it's not that hard... He looked up at him and then down at the world. I now know what must be done... He went to his side and found he was a bit biger than Scytherin was. He shrugged the feelings off and looked down, his heart pounding. It had been about a week since had seen her and he really wanted to see her again, this would be an interesting return from his part. He hoped she would accept him back like he had accepted her into his home.

 

[Babette_____]

Lily/Jake... 2005 (almost 06 ) Chicago Il. USA

Jake returned to Lily once the meeting concluded. He pushed the door closed and walked over to her sleeping form. He loved her more then he should he knew this, he also knew she too fought feelings that were not to be. While he watched her, his thoughts locking themselves away Lily continued to sleep.

Her mind brought images of the past, a past that didn't really exist for her. She saw her brother and her making love, during a time when they had no idea they were related. She saw them after that time... the threes years she spent moving from one bad engagement to another, and yet her brother was there helping her pick up the pieces. She saw her battle with booze and how Jake helped her through that too.

When her mind shifted to the images that she was now surrounded by her dreams took on more demented states. She dreamt of the travels she had taken with Richard and Michiko. Her thoughts consumed her as she felt the swirling vortex of time and space carry her to the present, a present that she knew was wrong. In this time... it was still 2005 the New Year would be ringing in soon... but in its place wasn't her Chicago. Now stood an ugly city... an ugly country.

The ripple in time so severe that Hitler had won the war. Her dreams told her he was now immortal and yet they told her he wasn't. Lily's dark webs of terror continued to form around her and soon she was screaming in pain as she watched her friends and family be taken to warehouses... warehouses where they never came out of.

The scream woke up Jake who'd fallen asleep beside her on the bed. Their clothes still on their bodies barely touching, as if they to both knew they shouldn't do what they both felt was right. He held her and rocked her against him. It wasn't until she calmed down that she was able to breath normally.

Lily looked up, kissed his lips, and left his arms quickly. The sunlight spilled in and she wondered what the day had in store for her. She didn't want to hide in her apartment, she just wanted to feel safe when she walked outside.

Moving to the kitchens she began to pretend to be the loving housewife. The cameras were everywhere, Lily knew this, and so when Jake joined his "wife" for breakfast, it was a great show they displayed their feelings for each other, though inside they both wondered if perhaps it was less show and more real.

 

[cobrasangel]

Raven / Wyn/ Io

Being held within her sisters' sweet embrace gave some comfort to Raven as her mind ran amok. Murmuring in her head flashed and sparked many bewildering thoughts and confusion in Raven, being the end result.

Trying to shake the darkening thoughts in her mind Raven pushed them aside and sought refuge in the arms and soft voices of her sisters. Tears fell silently as Wyn joined Io in holding her in the dark cave .

Not wanting to release from the moment that held her fears at bay she looked into the faces of them and her shaking subsided and she felt a peace surround her. Not knowing how long it would last she relished the moment that she was in now and would worry about the other later.
Shivering slightly, the chill from the dark cave took hold of her.

"Is there anything I can put on I am freezing?"
Raven did not realize that the cold came not from the inky blackness of the cave but from the growing darkness thats seed was sprouting inside her mind spreading the evil that was to help in aide to destroy Avaline her beloved Goddess.

 

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Avaline/Karl ~ modern day Chicago, German control

Avaline awoke the next morning, her body refreshed, her mind quiet. She hoped that the voice wouldn’t come back. She rose, stretched and quietly made her way down the hall, curious how things worked in Jake’s apartment. She gnawed on her lip, knew she could use her powers, but didn’t want to drain herself, not knowing yet how long it would take to find Lily and Jake.

She walked toward the bedroom Karl spelt in and she knocked quietly. Opening the door she saw him sleeping and she allowed her eyes to travel over him. With a sigh she closed the door and walked away. Thoughts of Io ran in her head and she felt a bit of sadness at the young woman no longer being near Karl.

She wished there was a way she could just go back and fix it all. She knew there wasn’t, but if she could she would give the girls their mates and then she would return to her life. Being alone wasn’t as painful as being in love and not knowing if the love was returned or not. Avaline found the bathroom stared at all the “fixings” and finally figured out how to operate the shower. She could have waved her hand, cleansed her body, taken care of life’s needs with one ripple of power, but she didn’t.

The water cascaded around her and she allowed it to cover her while she stood there trying desperately to regain her thoughts, and make decisions that would help the group of friends and family to get back together. She ran her hands over her skin, remembering the fantasy of having Richard touch her. The soap covered her. Her fingers played with her skin and danced along the taunt muscles of her abdomen. She sighed quietly as she kept his face in her mind, his lips upon her skin, and the heat of his breath caressing her body. Avaline felt her body sway. She leaned against the wall of the shower, closed her eyes and began the torturous journey to pleasure.

She moved one hand to the center of her sex, her fingers slid slowly over the soft flesh. Her other hand slipped over her breasts, caressed each nipple, teasing them with the flicking of her nails. Her lips trembled as she slipped her fingers along her slit. They moved slowly up and down the slick opening, just barely teasing the flesh, threatening to enter but not quite invading. Thumb and finger moved around the hardened nipple of her right breast and her body hummed in pleasure.

It’d been ages since the Goddess found herself alone and wanting to be held, touched, caressed. She longed to have a mate, someone to take possession of her, but there was no one for her, she was alone again, and so she did what she could to capture the pleasure that her thoughts could bring her. Her body began to shake. She moved to fingers to her clit, rubbed gently, increasing the movement as she began to pull on her nipple. Pinching both erotic places at the same time brought a gasp of pure delight from her soft pink lips.

Avaline moved her fingers from her clit to the slick folds of her sex. She dipped her fingers inside, curled them, toyed with the slick flesh until she moaned once more. Her breasts felt heavy. Her fingers moved from the hard nipple to its mate and she treated it to the same pleasure. The sounds of the shower barely worked to control her own noises as she urged herself on.

Her fingers drew out then dipped back in again. She pushed into her sex more, going deeper with every thrust. Her other hand slid down her body, her knees were weak, and she slid down. Her ass settled against the tub, the water having warmed the white plastic. She spread her legs wider, let her head fall to the side, and her fingers continued to take her on a path that reached to the peak of a mountain that only Avaline could reach.

Two fingers moved faster into his crotch, the other hand is placed on the top of her slick pussy. Soon the fingers from that hand are moving up and down on the swollen clit. As the tempo increased on the hot muscles of her flesh of her inner walls so did the tempo increase on her clit. She pushed herself to the point of release, then stalled her movements. Avaline continued the driving force, her moans became gasps. Her gasps became cries and those cries were soon nothing more then a shattering release of syrup.

She cried out as she came over the long, delicate fingers. As her body quivered over each wave of desire she felt the liquid flow freely. With every shake and shiver Avaline felt her world come back to her, she kept her eyes closed. A tear of loneliness fell from her eyes and she cried softly, knowing she’d be alone and unloved until the end of her time. After the climax subsided she stood up and finished cleansing herself.

 

[ZuesTheGod]

Zues and Scytherin ~ Zues' place...

Zues said nothing for sometime, just stared at the man and then with a long drawn out sigh he had the young man sit down. “Things have changed for your lady.” He moved his hand and a woman brought forth wine and cheese. He offered them to Scytherin and enjoyed a goblet of the warm liquid himself.

“There are other men involved in their lives. You seemed disconnected, not quite with all of us, so I had to step in... now there is another.” Zues poured the young man a drink, waved the woman away and looked curiously at the man.

“Not only that, but also there are things that have happened to your World... changes.” This time when he lifted his hand a mist of magic appeared and Scytherin could see his world as it was now. The dirt and grime was evident in everything that was visible. Technology was still advanced, but there was so much poverty for the people in the cities. There was barely any greenery, barely any signs of enjoyment, just a gray world that seemed stuck in despair. The image faded when Zues moved his hand back over the mist.

“As you can see... things went wrong. Avaline is weak, growing weaker everyday. She may or may not live to see time healed. That will affect you also. I need to know... do you wish to try and fix this ripple in time, or do you wish to attempt to woo the young woman?” Zues’ brow lifted and he waited for the man to chose.

 

[SweetSerenety18]

Scytherin And Zues

He looked up and over at him and then down at the world. These were hard choices, go after the woman he loved and let time fuck up what he had once also known as home? Unfortunitly, for him, that was not the option. Maybe he could help Avaline, fix this ripple, find Wyn and maybe fix things with her, just maybe. To him, the second option sounded much better than the first.

He got up and looked over at Zues once more before turning to the world below. As much as I would like to see Wyn again and her beautiful smile... I would very much like the time I once lived in back, for what I see now is far worse than I ever expected one life to be. If I can do anything to help this Avaline, seeing how she was the one that offered Wyn to me, I believe I should repay her. She deserves love just like any other person and I'd do anything to give the one I love a perfect home and that woman...is Wyn. So please Zues...send me to Avaline and show me what I can do...

 

[ZuesTheGod]

Zues and Scytherin into Chicago he goes.

There wasn’t much more Zues could say to Scytherin when he made his decision concerning either Wyn or Avaline. He nodded his head, stood up, and cast several strands of magic. Bu the time he was done Scytherin was clothed in the clothes that were similar to what he normally wore, yet different. The jeans and t-shirt, along with sneakers and socks fit the young man like a glove and Zues concluded his work by handing Scytherin a wallet.

“Here this will provide whatever money you may find yourself in need of. Avaline is growing weaker the longer she stays human, so she may or may not recognize you,” Zues told him. “If your lady love Wyn gives her heart to another, then I’m afraid you very well could end up alone. I do hope you’re prepared for that.”

Zues said nothing more, only lifted his arms, and in a moment that for him seemed like a second, though to the mortal probably seemed a bit longer, he and Scytherin had traveled through time and space and settled themselves outside of Jake’s bar. They were hidden in the shadow and Zues kept a barrier of protection around the young man while he spoke to him.

“Avaline’s in the bar’s upstairs apartment along with Karl. I’m sure that once she finds Lily they will be going to the past to fix the rift in time. Don’t lose that wallet... it could be the answer to some of your problems. Remember the way to a man’s heart is either through his stomach or his cash.”

Once Zues knew it was safe, he dropped the shield that hid them, and he disappeared, leaving the young man alone in the dirty alley. When he returned to his cloud he settled down into planning the first series of quests for the gentlemen of South America.

 

[LadyChance]

Io/Raven/Wyn

Beautiful self confident Raven looked so lost and alone that my heart went out to her, her tears were those that caught at my heart strings and I cursed myself for ever having called upon Avaline. Raven out of all my sisters had been confident in anything she did and it saddened me to see her seem so lost. How had I allowed this to happen?

"Is there anything I can put on I am freezing?"

“Yes hun there is,” looking over my shoulder I spot the bag that could give us what we needed. Moving only long enough to scuttle across the floor, grabbing the bag I move back towards Raven and Wyn. “In here hun, just think of something that you want and then reach in. It is a gift from Avaline, she made sure it would work for all of us, but just us."

Handing Raven the bag I move back just enough to give her room. As I watch her remove items from the bag, I begin to think about how to make the cave a bit warmer for her. Maybe the bag would hold some wood and a lighter or match. So we could start a fire, I knew it would hold blankets for us all along with clothing and food. But what else could the bag have in it really.

 

[SweetSerenety18]

Scytherin/Avaline/Karl

He ran out onto the street and looked around, buildings were somewhat runied around him and it seemed...muggy. He looked towards what Zues had told him was the bar. A plane flew over head, strangely very low. He looked around once again, taking in the scenario. He closed his eyes and shook his head. Onton what he come here to do....

He went into the bar, noticing the bartender, washing some glasses and many different types of alcohol behind him. The man nodded to Scytherin and so did Scytherin. I'm here to meet a woman...

Yeah, I know who your looking for...upstairs. Want a drink before ya go though?. Naw, thanks though. Scytherin nodded to the man and headed up the creaking stairs and found that there were only two rooms, one said Janitors and the other had a number "1" on it. He headed over to it and looked at it for a moment, wondering what to say...

Before he could really think however, he knocked on the door. Avaline?

Karl / Avaline / Scytherin // Chicargo 2005

Karl woke next morning to the sound of the shower running, he dressed wishing that he could also have a shower but he wasn’t going to spoil Avaline’s shower by knocking on the door.

He went to the kitchen and looked through the fridge, finding some eggs and sausages that hadn’t gone out of date he tried the cooker and was surprised that it worked. The state things were in outside he wouldn’t have been surprised to find that it didn’t work. Finding a frying pan in a cupboard he proceeded to cook sausage and eggs for breakfast, not sure whether Avaline needed food he did enough for both of them.

He’d just finished cooking when Avaline came out of the bathroom. “Breakfast is ready,” he called to her, and she joined him in the kitchen. They’d just sat down to eat when there was a knock on the door and they heard a voice call “Avaline”.

Both of them jumped up and Karl led the way to the door with Avaline right behind him. Karl unlocked the door to be confronted by a complete stranger.

“Who are you?” he asked.

Scytherin/Avaline/Karl

He looked from the man, not knowing him but as he looked behind him to see Avaline, he could clearly make her out. Even though last time he saw her, she had shapshifted but deep in his gut, he knew that this woman was Avaline.

He looked at Karl for a moment and then spoke for the first time directly, I'm a...friend of Avaline's...from way back. Can I talk to her? He asked, looking over his shoulder to see her, taking glances.

Avaline/Karl/Scytherin Chicago

Avaline heard her name and at first she thought of Jake and Lily. When Karl shifted a bit, the man behind the door standing in the hall looked familiar to Avaline and for a moment she remembered him, then quickly her eyes flashed a golden yellow. ‘Oh my fucking God of Olympia.... Avy we must dine on that...’ Avaline shook her head, her eyes closed, and she calmed her mind, ridding herself of the evil thought.

“Scytherin,” she rose from the chair, stumbled slightly and leaned on the table for support before shoving the evil again. “Please Karl let him in. He is a friend of Wyn’s.” She watched Karl hesitate and she moved up to him, placed her hand gently on his shoulder. “Really he’s here to help us. I hope he can, then I’m sure he’ll want to be with Wyn.”

Without realizing it her hand ran down Karl’s spine and she pressed her breast against him as she moved around him to allow Scytherin the opportunity to enter the apartment. ‘Avy... you need this, you need them both. I let you touch him, you could feel his strength... we could feel it, use it, enjoy it.’ Avaline growled in anger, her voice low, then she shivered. “Please, come in. Karl’s prepared a meal for us. It is my first taste of your foods here and I find in lovely.”

She moved away and took her place back at the table. “I take it Zues sent you?” she asked Scytherin. “Oh I’m sorry,” she put a napkin in her lap and looked at both men. “Scytherin this is Karl from 1942 and Karl this is Scytherin from 2000... ummm....,” her face contorted slightly. “Umm... I’m sorry. I need to lie down.” She got up quickly, sway slightly and breathed deep. Finally she smiled gently to both men and looked at them. “Please eat and talk. Get to know each other and perhaps Lily and Jake will be here soon.”

Avaline left them and though she wanted to stay she was unable to, her memory had never failed her and now it had. Once in her room she closed the door and fell to her knees. “Get out please,” she begged quietly.

‘Avy... only one man can make me leave... and he’s going to kill you to get me. You don’t want that Avy... let me play, let me live. I can make you feel so very good.’ The voice purred into Avaline’s mind and she curled herself up against the door, her body shivering from the cold until she was able to sleep soundly once more.
