"Yeah, well cats don't like having their tails pulled BY MAGIC!" he said before kicking some snow at the shears.
He looked over at her with glowing eyes that quickly faded back to normal.

Posted: **Wed Oct 04, 2017 6:18 pm**

"Look, I know you're stressed out. I know I would be if someone died in front of me..."

Posted: **Wed Oct 04, 2017 6:46 pm**

A sense of 'rightness' settles over Sam. It's good that she's here. It's not an unfamiliar feeling.

Posted: **Wed Oct 04, 2017 7:17 pm**

"I didn't just see her die. I think I saw her soul leave! Why would I see that?!" he asked, clearly distressed.

Posted: **Wed Oct 04, 2017 7:30 pm**

"...because someone has to," she mumbles.

Diego gets the brief impression of birds all around him as Sam spreads out her awareness.

Posted: **Wed Oct 04, 2017 7:49 pm**

She could feel the residue of the woman's death on the area. It wasn't a stain. She'd lived well and died well. Her ravens kept shying away from the shears, which had a light all their own in the Astral. The 'light' is angry and dark at the moment, like a bad mood that refuses to let up. The sense of the woman is familiar, reminding Sam of a shop and a discussion between Nailah and a "Ms. Weaver."

Posted: **Wed Oct 04, 2017 8:40 pm**

Diego looked around for the birds and looked both perplexed and annoyed when he failed to see anything.

"I'm getting really tired of things I can't see or can't touch."

Posted: **Wed Oct 04, 2017 9:30 pm**

"Then you're going to have a hard time with this."

"Whatever's in the shears is quite cross."

Posted: **Wed Oct 04, 2017 11:55 pm**

"I gathered that when it yelled at my brain like I killed her."

Posted: **Thu Oct 05, 2017 2:53 am**

The anger didn't seem to be directed at anyone specifically at the moment. The snow Diego had previously kicked onto the shears began to steam away as well.

Posted: **Thu Oct 05, 2017 6:33 pm**

"Then I'll have to deal with them."

"I'm here," she calls out to the scissors. "Let him go."

Posted: **Thu Oct 05, 2017 6:38 pm**

WHAT DOES HE KNOW? The voice is imperious, obviously used to having its questions answered. The mental presence attempts to pick through Sam's brain as well, but stops abruptly. She can tell the presence isn't so much *in* the shears, as funneled through them. I see he summoned the Morrigan. My child's soul is not yours to claim. The Valkyries should be the ones to bring her to her rest.

Posted: **Thu Oct 05, 2017 6:42 pm**

"I was called by name. Not just by him, but by your child. You are far from your lands, but I am not."

"I'm not here to claim her, but to heed her warning."

Posted: **Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:03 pm**

She was sent to your lands, following her duty. That should not have cost her her life. I am unable to avenge her, but you will avenge her. It was hard to tell whether that is an order or a prediction. Both of them can suddenly see a tall apparition of a woman in a hooded robe. A single large braid of steel grey hair with streaks of blonde sticks out of the shadow of the hood. In one hand is a large pair of shears while a length of thread coils around the other hand. You wish to be untied from her fate, then you will accept my charge. She gestures, but it's difficult to tell which of them she's gesturing at.

Posted: **Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:17 pm**

"Tied to her... you'll kill me?" Diego asked with a gulp. "But I don't even know what's going on here!"

Posted: **Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:26 pm**

"He's only the last person your child saw before she died. He knows nothing, but still you want to claim him?"

Posted: **Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:41 pm**

To die was not her fate. The weave has warped and threads are out of place or missing. The spinning wheel is out of alignment and I and my sisters must focus on that. If you do not take it up, there will be no need for Skoll to swallow the sun.

Posted: **Thu Oct 05, 2017 8:39 pm**

"Okay you lost me... isn't the sun getting eaten, yanno, a bad thing?"

Posted: **Thu Oct 05, 2017 8:54 pm**

"...she means it won't matter."

Posted: **Thu Oct 05, 2017 9:32 pm**

To all things come their time. You are faced with an incredible adversary, Morrigan. He would pre-empt Ragnarok in his own hubris. You must protect the child of earth.

Posted: **Thu Oct 05, 2017 11:51 pm**

"He me or he... master vampire?" he asked, confused by the many mythologies.

Is magic always this confusing?

Posted: **Thu Oct 05, 2017 11:58 pm**

"...I can explain more later, but some sort of... big bad."

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2017 12:06 am**

My sisters and I will be watching carefully. Do not disappoint us. We would hate to have to unweave and reweave things. The connection to the shears was starting to fade.

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2017 1:03 am**

"We'll do our best, Chief," he said, joking nervously.

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2017 4:39 am**

Sam gives Diego an odd look, then turns back to the apparition.

"...you're not the only ones who can see the way things are going."

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2017 12:10 pm**

Of course not. Anyone with their eyes opened can see the world is darkening in prelude to the death of the sun. We see the ends. A world persistently darkened, creatures of the night roaming the world unimpeded, the bridge between worlds corrupted and closed. There will be plenty of battles for you to feast on, Battle Crow, but it will be bitter food indeed.

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2017 4:13 pm**

Diego gave Sam an apologetic look.

"You make it sound like the sun's dying tomorrow," he commented.

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2017 6:25 pm**

"Some people want it to. Long story, like I said."

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2017 6:33 pm**

Don't let it. This is our charge to you. The apparition disappeared and the presence vanished. The shears began to shudder and flake into silver dust.

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2017 6:56 pm**

"So... that happened."

"That did happen right?" he asked a moment later.

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2017 7:02 pm**

"That happened. That was a Norn."

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2017 7:46 pm**

"Who told us to solve a murder and stop the vampire apocalypse. I feel like I stepped into a Guillermo del Toro movie."

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2017 7:48 pm**

"...I've been in this one awhile," she sighs.

"It's Wanda. She was talking about Wanda. People have been after her."

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2017 8:48 pm**

"By people, you mean the kind that drink blood and aren't people anymore?"

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2017 9:09 pm**

"...and a werewolf, a witch and... probably even worse than that."

Posted: **Fri Oct 06, 2017 11:58 pm**

"'Join the X-Men,' they said. 'Save the world,' they said. They did not say 'from the forces of darkness.'" he quipped.

"But since I'm in this now... why Wanda? Bad weather is hardly an age of endless darkness."

Posted: **Sat Oct 07, 2017 12:28 am**

"She's apparently... special somehow. Tied to nature, or something like that."

Posted: **Sat Oct 07, 2017 12:39 am**

"So we have to protect her while trying to find and cut off the head of the snake? That's a hell of a job."

Posted: **Sat Oct 07, 2017 1:54 pm**

"It would be if it were just the two of us. It isn't."

Posted: **Sat Oct 07, 2017 3:58 pm**

"They did pick the wrong school to mess with, didn't they?" he nodded, grinning.

Xaviers!
