Gareth, already knowing how to deal with the situation, once again looked to Eniisa.
"Miss, I'm sorry to bring this up again...but whatever is inside her, you can order it out. Or call it--whatever you prefer. But as a majority...we have to get of here as soon as possible. That means we'll have to break Bliz out, and deal with the politics later.We need find a way to cure--"
"The Black River," Cloe suddenly spoke up. "I think I know what this is! But I can't be certain, until I see it for myself...Eniisa, are you up to it?" Cloe hoped Eniisa would be able to get whatever it was out of Mimix, before timelines started to knot themselves together in confusion. Or something.
Glose, after having bothered Silv that first time, was now humming to herself, seeming oblivious to the danger. She was doing something a few feet away from them, and randomly fussing about the order in which she was happening to pack several ice berry juice vails into a cloth bag.
Mimix's grip seemed to loosen from Akeil, and she slowly sank down onto her knees. Her body quivered, as if in some sort of pain. Silv winced in sympathy, but then felt himself start to get a bit angry at the beastie within Mimix...what was going on in there?

"I can do it," the mage stated. She wouldn't like it, but she could. It was her duty, after all. At leats, she thought she could do it. There were subtle differences in the nature of Libertan and Ethornyan magicks and spirits, but...It was worth and shot. "Stand back. I'm...not entirely sure what will happen."
Akeil instantly backed away. He knew EXACTLY what Eniisa meant for once. Shadow magic was not something he liked to be involved in, Kira, although somewhat confused, followed the order as well.
Eniisa nodded and faced Mimix with a wide, steady stance, hands in front. With one hand palm up, fingers together and one hand above, index finger pointed, she narrowed her eyes and stilled her breath. With the pointed finger, she made a quick movement and rearraged her hands into a complicated, interlocking position. As she held her hands there, a shadowy aura appeared around Mimix.
"O soul of Hero and Shadow past and yet to be, I exhort you to leave thy prisoner. Annulst thy binding and follow my word." She broke the position of her hands and brought one back down while the other went to her chest. She was rather out of breath, but that's the way her magic worked. Not a lot of breathing.
That, and surprise at what was sitting in the middle of the room now.
It.

There was silence...a deep silence. It flicked his tail in an annoyed manner, and crossed his arms as he sat there. He huffed slightly as he looked to Eniisa, obviously annoyed at having to follow her orders. "...Ruja, I swear I'm going to smack her some day." Cloe said, the silence adruptly breaking. "That is hers! Why didn't she tell us this in the first place? Stars above, that woman annoys me..." Silv looked to her in question, but Cloe folded her arms. "Very well done, Eniisa. I hate to say this, but...either you or Silv, maybe both, will have to keep an eye on him...It." Silv felt a chill run down his spine, then looked to It. He dearly hoped Eniisa was capable of it. He hadn't used shadow power ever since he had nearly killed Bliz. Mimix's body seemed to relax for a second, but then it tensed again. Gareth spoke to Akeil then. "Keep a hold on her, let her know that you are still there. Maybe it will distract her enough so that she doesn't...do anything. But if worse comes to worse...you'll have to knock her out. Now, we need to get Bliz...and at the same time, keep It under control....any ideas?" "I could summon Chiyo, and Cloe could summon Lorith...?" Silv suggested, glancing to Mimix. He had never thought about it, but...she could probably be highly dangerous. He didn't want to have his time speed up or anythign wacky like that.... !

The plan was simple.
...sort of.
Together, Cloe and Gareth were able to come up with a solution.
Cloe would summon Lorith, and Lorith would get Bliz with the hope that she wouldn't get the...insane-ness It was having fun spreading around. Silv would summon Chiyo, Chiyo would contact Nix and Ruja and tell of the problem. Before Lorith would go and get Bliz, Akeil and Mimix would get on Lorith. When Lorith had her three passengers (Bliz supported in her claws), she would head straight to Shadow Pass.
Chiyo would follow below Lorith with Silv, Eniisa and It on her back. Cloe would wait for Ruja. -----
The first to arrive was Chiyo, who peeked in the window to the living room and nearly gave Glose a heart attack. Chiyo and Silv had a mind-to-mind conversation, and Silv turned to the group.
"Bad news! It turns out that It got to Bliss as well! And Chiyo says Nix said that Ruja said that Dunstin is keeping an eye on Bliss, keeping her safe...but he touched her. And he's Libertain...for all I know. He was smart enough tokeep Meruu from touching her, so it hasn't spread out in Liberali."
Cloe nodded, and glanced to Mimix. Her eyes were open now, but were completley black. "Let's get moving. Akeil, you'll have to carry her. Lorith is coming."
Indeed, the great dragoon was arousing a rucuss outside. Lorith's great shadow swept about the desert city, and there was a slight thud as the great form landed not to far from the house. Cloe opened the door and walked out to her Star Creature.
Silv felt a tug at his sleeve, and looked down as, once again, Glose was trying to get his attention. She was holding up a cloth bag that she had fussed around earlier. After a few words, Silv was carrying the bag with him out the door with the promise for a return visit. Eh... There he waited by Chiyo for It and Eniisa.
Hopefully, all would go...well?

Akeil nodded, tightened his grip on Mimix, and started to walk outside, but turned around before he left. Eniisa hadn't left yet. Instead, she stood in the middle of the room, her hand on It's head. Akeil tilted his head to the side, noting the look on his sister's face.
"Enii?" he asked softly. This wasn't the first time he had seen her like this, deep in thought around a shadowed creature. He preferred to stay far away from them; the stereotype of shadows being evil went too deep, even after much experience with Eniisa and the element she controlled. Heroes and Shadows...Two completely different forces. What was it that they had in common, to share a Guardian?
Eniisa looked up after a second. "Right...Let's get going." She nodded, letting Akeil move on so to avoid Mimix and It getting too close, to keep It from being tempted. Akeil smiled hopefully and walked out, Eniisa and It close behind.
"Alright, let's go!" Akeil shouted to everyone.

It paused as Eniisa left, but then followed her. Kind of like a little duckling would follow its mother sort of thing. He seemed rather attached to Eniisa, and didn't pay attention to anything else except her.
Cloe motioned to Lorith, who got down as low as she could. She brought her head not too far from Akeil to look at them, then to Mimix. After a moment of thought her tail came around, and litteraly scooped the two up and onto her back.
Don't fear of falling, or you will. Believe you will not, and it will be so. That's the basic running of my magic. Lorith informed Akeil, fanning out her wings. Indeed, a slight pressure would gently settle onto Akeil, keeping him and Mimix on. And in the next second she jumped upwards and was airborne.
Chiyo kneeled down for Silv, It and Eniisa to get on. Silv got on first, then It jumped on behind Silv. After Eniisa would get on, Chiyo surprised Silv by reaching over and gently nudging the creature on the chest with her muzzle. Silv gently gripped Chiyo's fur, and then they were off. The poor desert dwellers...they were in quite a panic. The group of men that had brought them here earlier were now speeding toward them, but graceful Chiyo easily jumped over them and their horses, staying right under Lorith's great shadow. ----
It wasn't hard to located the prison Bliz was located in. Lorith already had a plan to do as little damage as possible to the small dwelling while still flying.
She skimmed low and struck her back talons right through the roof of the dwelling, and was up in the air once again. Bliz was clutched safely in her talons. As easy as that. Lorith and Chiyo turned northward, and all became a blur. -----
A little time later darkness pressed in around them, and Chiyo came to a skid-stop near the Black River. A little further away Lorith was gently landing. And next to her landed Nix with Ruja, Dunstin and Bliss.
Dest, Gareth, Kira and Cloe suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
It seemed happy to be back in Shadow Pass, and slid down from Chiyo, and stood near the black water. His tail flicked, then he looked to Akeil. After a moment he pointed to the water. To get his message clear, he gestured to Mimix, then pointed to the water again.
Cloe looked to It, then looked to Eniisa. Then back to It. Dang. If only Eniisa came around more often...

Believe you will not, and it will be so. Belief. "Then we have something in common," Akeil mentioned, patting the scales of the great dragon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eniisa was almost sad to arrive at the Black River. In the past few minutes, she had grown somewhat attached to It. Of course, that wasn't the only reason she didn't want to be here. "Just the same, this place," she muttered."
Akeil slid off Lorith's back, a tight hold on Mimix. "You've been here before?" In reply, he just received an odd grunt. A story for another time, he supposed.
"Akeil," Eniisa said suddenly, watching It's motions. "Dunk her in the river." Her brother's blue eyes widened. "Trust me. Just do NOT fall in yourself."
The hero nodded reluctantly, stepped towards the river, and knelt down with Mimix in his arms. "Sorry about this..." he apologized nervously and dropped her in the water. It was the weirdest baptism ever.

The second Mimix was dropped into the water, a strange thing happened. Odd buildings appeared around them, flickering in and out of sight, then everything just returned to it's gloomy, misty state. The water around Mimix's body seemed to shift. Then Mimix was back up on the surface, coughing and sputtering, obviously back to normal. She clung to the shore, looking wildly around. Seeing Akeil before her, she calmed down. A little bit.
"Akeil? Why in the stars am I..." She crawled out next to him, shivering. That water was blazing cold!
It clapped his hands, looking down into the water. Then It stood there in wait, for there were two other people do 'dunk'.
Seeing that Mimix was fine, Dunstin moved forward and did the same to Bliss as well. But this time nothing odd happened, Bliss just popped back up the same way Mimix had. Then Lorith nudged Bliz in.
Now both Bliz and Bliss were sitting on the shore, shivering, confused like Mimix. ---
It seemed sad now. He looked into the water, where his kind was awaiting him. Ruja walked over to It, and knelt by his side. It was silent, then Ruja offered It a brief smile. "You know...there is no law that forbids you to stay out here." It blinked at Ruja, seemed to brighten up, then darted back to Eniisa and clung to her right arm.
"What in the stars are all you people doing here?! This is not the place for gathering nor swimming!" The voice came from behind the assembled group of Star Creatures and people, and when looked upon, one would see a girl almost as tall as Mimix with long brown hair.
Memory blinked at the odd assortment of beings gathered near the river. Three were soaking wet and shivering, and It was clinging almost lovingly to a girl's arm. Three Star Creatures, Cloe Skyfire, a desert dweller, an odd otter girl, another healer...just not something you saw everyday. -----
(Yes, I have figured out what I want Memory to be...she is a Guardian of Shadows herself. Muahaha...x3!)

Eniisa had to laugh slightly when It clung to her arm. "Well," she started. "I suppose I've a new friend."
Then Memory came. The Ethornyan Guardian twitched slightly, feeling an odd presence. All Guardians had a certain...aura about them. Eniisa could recgonise a Guardian, but...there was something odd about this one. Was this girl even a Guardian? She had to be, wih that aura, but...(Something like you can't smell your own scent. XD)
Akeil wa sensing the same thing, apparently. He kept looking from Eniisa to Memory and back in confusion. "Wait..."

(Had to add more at Mimix's request. XD)
Akeil continued to look back from Guardian to Guardian, and then to Mimix. There was something in common between all three of them! Memory looked like Mimix, but the feeling...Almost the same as the feeling he got around his sister! Could it be? "Are you a Shadow Guardian?"
Eniisa raised an eyebrow, thinking that the question was directed at her. "Yes...?"

Mimix slowly looked up, and froze.
Memory looked to Akeil, and was silent for a moment. "Yes, I am a Shadow Guardian. Hence why I was..." Memory shifted her gaze to Eniisa then. "...drawn here."
Mimix slowly rose to her feet, brushing her hair away from her face. "Memory?"
Silv looked between them, and put his hands on his hips."Are you related? You have the same kind of eyes and face shape..."
"Yes. She is my younger sister." Mimix replied, and suddenly she was being embraced by Memory.
Bliz blinked, his head spinning in confusion.
"Can somebody please tell me why I was dunked into the Black River, of all places?" Bliz asked, looking around. Cloe gave Memory another curious look, then gathered Bliss and Bliz to her and began to explain everything.
Memory released Mimix, seeming pretty happy. They exchanged a few words, then Memory turned to Akeil and Eniisa...and It.
"Tell me...who are you? Obviously not from this world," she said, noticing their clothes.

The Ethornyan Guardian, for once, was somewhat confused. This girl was a Shadow Guardian as well? How could that be? There were no two guardians for one element! The Guardians of Time didn't count. They were of different worlds...
Oh.
Akeil introduced himself first. "My name is Akeil, miss. I'm...erm..."
Kira butted in with a soft cough, finally having thought of something to say. "Mimix's boyfriend."
"Yeeah...And..." he looked to Eniisa. Should he confirm that they weren't Libertans? Eniisa shrugged. Might as well. It was obvious that they weren't. "Yes. We're not from Liberta. We're from a world known as Ethornya, as you already guessed...And...well, my sister..."
Eniisa took over. Akeil seemed to be having some trouble, not sure what to reveal. "What he means to say is that I'm a Guardian of Shadows as well." She patted It on the head again. With him clinging to her arm, what else could Eniisa be?

"Mimix? You have a boyfriend?" Memory said, smiling a bit slyly at her blushing sister. Mimix was indeed blushing. Not only because Kira said that, but beacuse Akeil had actually agree with it. " A pleasure to meet you, Akeil and Eniisa. Aah, I see." Memory reasoned, watching as It flickered his tail happily. "I don't think he'll be wanting to let you go anytime soon."
It shook his head in agreement to Memory, and put his head on Eniisa's arm. He had just found his best friend.
Things seemed to be coming to a close. Silv said his goodbyes to everyone, including Akeil, Eniisa and Kira. He got on Chiyo with Bliz, Dest and Bliss, and the large wolf took a steady pace away from everyone before darting off into high speed. But you could still feel a slight gust of wind. Ruja, seeming to be lost in her own thoughts again, took off on Nix.
Cloe and Gareth stood off to one side, discussing their next step. Cloe was taking full responsibility for everything that had happened that day, including Bliz's attack on the desert people. Gareth was discussing how he would stand up for her, and would be there to help solve the case of mingled accusations.
Dunstin stood at the side of the river, staring unseeingly into it. From what Cloe had told Bliz and Bliss...it seemed that only the off-worlders were able to touch those that had been tainted by It. But he had touched Bliss. Why didn't he get the same thing? Had he even been born on Lostar?
Memory, just thinking of something, smiled.
"Well, Akeil! You being Mimix's boyfriend and all...you'll have to come meet our mother before you leave." Mimix, who was trying to wring the water out from her hair, paused, a bit guilty. She had almost forgotten...

A-agreed..? Akeil stuttered in his thoughts. Slowly his face turned red. What did he just say? Curses, curses, curses! He looked over to the snickering Kira with a hopeless glare. Well, Akeil didn't exactly disagree...
"Well met," Eniisa stated, then looked over her shoulder. Dunstin was there by the river...Uh-oh...she knew that look...After all, she wore that same look once. "Pardon me..." With that, she walked away, carefully walking towards the boy with It by her side.
Akeil wasn't sure what to think, not recognizing the look. "Well...I'm sure she has a reason...Don't mind her, please." Then Memory dropped the parent bomb. "Y-your mother?"

Dunstin snapped from his unseeing gaze as Eniisa and It came near, and managed a slight smile.
"Eniisa," he said in greeting, having picked up her name from Cloe. But his smile faltered, and he glanced to the ground. "I appologize, my thoughts are a bit damp at the moment."
Mimix glanced over to Eniisa and Dunstin, then back as Memory began to speak again.
"Well, of course! Just be lucky our father is never around. Don't worry, it isn't like she is going to eat you. Besides, Mimix needs to visit her. I don't know how long she has been gone, but long enough to cause worry."
Mimix gave up trying to get the water out from her, and nodded. "Yes, I do owe her a visit. You don't have to come, Akeil. I understand." And she really did, too. Though her meeting up with his parents had been a bit...different...
