"Would this trigger you speak of have anything to do with the sunken stone we see over there?" the Wilden asked innocently as he pointed to the uneven stone that he had noticed upon entry into the room. He really didn't have much practical knowledge of such things, but he had keen senses and his amber eyes had picked up the oddity quite easily.

Tharien in the meantime began scanning the area with his magic, cautiously trying to feel out anything of importance while also studying the crazy eladrin's strange magical devices, "I think he just called all metal not-stone Aerendis...and your armour bark" the young wizard said absently as he extended his senses outwards.

With the mechanism pointed it it'd be easy enough for the group to maneuver their way to the far side of the room opening a wooden door which lead to more stairs. These ones spiraled around leading deep into the ground far under Wrathwood. At the bottom was a gate leading a brightly lit large circular room with four bodies within it.

Though standing they were hunched over until approached at which they stood tall appearing to be Eladrin. They all had some sort of gem protruding from their chests which Tharien would be able to identify as having the same signature as the rest of Starngatha's magic.

"Agera our queen! Agera the magnificent splendid god!"

All of them chanted in Elven completely in sync with one another. This obviously left Ea to question what they were saying however their intentions soon became clear. Two of them armed with many blades each drew swords while the female among them flourished her daggers. The final of the four conjured a staff into existence then they all spoke again.

"We guard this most sacred and holy ground of our beautiful queen. Agera the great! Agera forever!."

Aerendis was hesitant to draw his weapon in defense as was Ea.

"They are our fellow Eladrin but who is Agera? I don't want to hurt them but I don't think we'll have a choice."

"They stink of Starngatha...and those gems in their chest lead me to believe they are no longer kin to us, but slaves to her" Tharien said, with resignation in his voice as he held his staff out, his magic stirring around him as he readied himself for what was sure to be yet another battle for the adventurers, a spell on the tip of his tongue, ready to attack or defend in an instance should it become necessary. But like the other two, he was hesitant to attack the Eladrin indescriminantly, it felt somewhat wrong to attack them, even though the foul magic of the witch permeated their beings.

It was the childlike being who moved first, not caring what these creatures were, only that they were tainted with the corruption of the evil of his forest, and calling on the elements he struck out at the staff wielding eladrin with frost flash, intending to catch the eladrin within a block of ice so as to limit the number of foes that the group had to fight.

Seeing the dark haired individual attack, Tharien knew that hesitation would only get them killed, and so with a heavy heart the abyssal words he had been preparing flowed from his mouth, casting a pinioning vortex at the dagger wielding female followed up by a casual magic missile aimed for the stone in the centre of her chest. Staff grasped in his hand tightly, the wizard hoped that they had done the right thing. Maybe destroying the gems that reeked of Starngatha's magic would be enough to free them from her service, if not, he would help them pass on as it was obviously their time.

"Slave gems?"

Ea asked as if she had heard such a term before, the Tiefling nearly reacted as Rillas instantly attacked one of them but she figured there would be no way to avoid defending one's self. Their wizard was easily caught by the Druidic magic becoming frozen in place. Aerendis merely grunted while Tharien caught the dagger wielding one in a vortex then striking the magic gem with a missile. As the missile struck bolts of eldritch lightning spilled from it spurring a distorted female elven voice.

"Help me."

The object in her chest repaired itself and resumed control of it's host even as she hover in the vortex. Aerendis was visibly jarred by the sound of the voice though he'd finally made his decision to draw upon his flaming sword. There were two still unoccupied Eladrin which he advanced towards and clearly they hadn't lost any of their former edge as the one he targeted parried his blade.

"I can't attack them."

He shrunk away from his target making a crude symbol with his hand as a burst of arcane energy seemed to erupt from the swordsman. It stopped him but he did not speak or take any actions staring blankly into the air.

"But I can help them resist their affliction."

A mighty shout erupted from the remaining Eladrin who wielded two blades as he charged Aerendis slashing madly only to get shoved away like some buzzing annoyance. Ea instead of taking any offensive action began to sing a strange Untheric song to effect.

The young Wilden gestured sharply, electricity weaving between his fingers as he prepared to hurl a storm spike at the trapped wizard, aiming for the gem in his chest since it was apparently the place to aim for. The amber eyed youth didn't really care either way, as long as he could clear this infestation from his forest he would be happy.

Tharien maintained the pinioning vortex around the female, as he focused on the gem in her chest, trying to see if he could somehow shut down the magical devices with his own power. "Try and break the gems, it might release them from her thrall" the small wizard stated, somewhat annoyed at their reluctance to fight Eladrin. He had to remind himself that they hadn't grown up to be servants of the Raven Queen, and thus were less willing to take life where it was necessary. He didn't have nearly as much of an issue as they were, even if it had stalled him for a moment. If they couldn't free the enslaved eladrin, they would have to kill them, or be killed themselves.

Rillas' bolt struck the gem in the mage's chest shattering it while charging the air around him with electricity. He fell to the ground unconscious after the fact with eldritch energy running through his veins. Their female remained aloft while Tharien attempted to wrest control of her from the foul magic and succeeded in doing so, the gem lost it's color turning black and she fell unconscious.

The paladin's own attempts to help the swordsman were not as successful while he continued to stare blankly. Aerendis was adamant in helping them rather than killing them and as Rillas' target fell to the ground he moved to the wizard's side bathing him in a dull white light. The second burst of the building electrical charge unexpected as it was didn't kill the mage as it would have.

Suddenly it seemed as though Ea's mystical words became sharper threatening to invade the thoughts of those listening to her. Successfully she exerted control over the more berserk of the four before them. Now their foes were all but disabled but not all free from their curse.

"I've got this one but not for long."

Tharien quickly turned his attention to one of the remaining two Eladrin, having sucessfully disabled one of the gems, he felt more confident that he could do so again. He focused his magic on the gem of the nearest enemy, bringing to bear his power and skill so as to be able to take out the foul magic that controlled the beings that faced them. The wizard knew that he was strong enough and skilled enough to overpower Starngatha, eyes narrowed as he worked against the controlling magic, he tried to decipher what it was she had done, curious at how these devices worked.

Rillas quickly hurled another storm spike, this time at the Eladrin that Tharien wasn't targetting. Having seen that hitting the gem was quite effective, the Wilden boy did so again, desiring to end the rot as quickly as possible.

They fell quickly due to the aftershock of having the gems abruptly destroyed though only unconscious. Tharien would find that the magic was not mere illusion or mental dominance but actual tampering with souls. It was another vein of necromancy so prevalent in mad power hungry wizards because it was so easy to control. Aerendis went to work making sure that each of the Eladrin were still alive and well dislodging these gems that were actually pierced through bone and flesh.

"I wonder if she was using them as puppets?"

He said before letting the gem fall to the ground not particularly interested in it however Ea approached and even picked up the gem which glow brightly as she touched it. Quickly she tossed it away falling to her knees. She'd just barely saved herself from passing out hissing a Tiefling curse as she came to her feet.

"Well it's not a slave crown but it appears to be similar anyway. Slave crowns tend to erase memories and willpower though, a crude and amateur magical craft."

After all was said and done with that the only way to proceed forward was the portcullis at the other end of the room.

"Whatever they are, they're abominations of magic" Tharien said in disgust as he levitated one of them into a conjured strongbox, using prestidigitation to ensure not only would the box remain once he had stopped focusing on it, but also that the gem could not effect them through the box. He then proceeded to destroy the remaining gems, making sure that no remnant of their taint could be found, the one he kept meant purely for him to study should he ever encounter them again.

While the three 'grownups' were discussing the gems, and dealing with the downed Eladrin, the young forest spirit was looking around the room they were in, examining everything in search of points of interest.

The only interesting thing about this room the Wilden would notice is that it seemed to be an arena of sorts for viewing test subjects. Further proving the point were the portcullis gates on either side of the room, whether or not the child would know this was another subject. Aerendis decided that leaving them here wouldn't be a bad thing to do as the only way to the room was from where they came and where they were going.

He walked up to the rusted gate on the far side of the room operating it's mechanism with loud scraping of steel against stone but once it was open it stayed open. Ea was first into the corridor which veered left smelling of alchemy. When the group made it to the room they'd see apparatuses of all sorts with boiling oils and potions, their attention most drawn of course to the black garb wearing old man. He busied himself with the devices while clutching a small skull totem to his chest with his left hand completely ignoring the new presences.

"I think we're getting close to the heart of your home's problem child."

Ea spoke in regards to Rillas.

The minute they entered the alchemy lab Tharien magic flared up around him, brushing lightly across his companions as he readied himself for a possible fight. Sea-green eyes glanced around the room as he surveyed their surroundings, it was always best to be aware of what was around you. Once he had scanned the area he would turn his attention to the old man, his magic reaching out to scan the stranger who seemed to be ignoring them completely. It was tempting to simply attack, but he knew that it wasn't necessarily the best idea, at least until he understood the whole situation.

The childlike forest spirit also surveyed the area, before turning his amber eyes on the black cloaked being, not knowing what to say or do. He had been handling it well before, but he was nervous now, this was the first time he had ever been in a building and he didn't think he liked it very much.

At the swelling of magic in the room the old hooded man stopped for a moment before continuing what he was doing all the while whispering arcane mutterings. Eventually he turned to face the group looking up at them clutching that totem to his body. A smile made it's way across his wretched wrinkled face teeming with malice and spite.

"Oh it looks like you've escaped certain death again Aerendis. Even without knowing it... I had thought your trip to the Shadowfell would be your end, Bixro didn't have the heart to kill you so he thought I could try. Figured you might as well know that Aerenal razed your place of training for insubordination."

Aerendis remained stout and unaffected by the old man's words, Ea wordlessly drew her bow becoming curious at Aerendis' connection with Aerenal and being doomed all the time.

"I do not understand why you are telling me this villain. I don't care about the Abbey for it housed individuals such as yourself, necromancy in a place of Corellon? really?"

Perhaps it deserved to be burned or perhaps not but what was clear was they were going to battle with this necromancy using geezer. His flaming sword erupted from it's sheathe as he prepared for battle the light of the flame making the old man's smile broader.

"You've gotten better and you brought friends!"

The sickly aura seeped out from his old bones in an attempt to flood their senses with darkness. Rillas was targeted the most because of the necromancer's morbid curiosity about the plantlike life form.

Tharien snarled as he realised who it was they had stumbled across "You!" a fireball formed on his fingertips as he spat out the incantation, his aura flaring even more to try and protect himself and the other's from the disgusting necromantic energy emanating from the old being. With a harsh motion he flung the ball of flames at the necromancer followed quickly by a magic missile, the hope that he would be able to destroy the foul spell user once and for all motivating him to fight hard and fast.

The small forest spirit let out a gasp as the necromantic energies focused on him, the plant like parts of him began to shrivel slightly, and his skin darkened into what could only be considered a sickly colour. Eyes opened wide he started to panic "Its killing us, worming writhing painful...its rotting us from the inside!" his panicked cries got louder as power encircled his hands "make it stop, make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!!" he screamed as he called lightning down on the necromancer.

His smile quickly faded as he realized in the months between their meeting Tharien's wizardry had become much more potent. The wizard's pure arcane aura brushed aside his own tainted one and the fireball flying towards him was filled with anger. It exploded as it connected with the necromancer's chest leaving him burned by still alive while the magic missile that followed it pierced his body. Lightning was the next element to strike him causing him to shout loudly convulsing while the electricity coursed through him, a vicious assault that still wasn't quite able to down him.

"Is that all you've got?"

Despite the damage already done to his body he still remained a despicable being spitting taunts even when his own life was in danger. Aerendis held the star of Corellon with his gloved hand high uttering a word in Supernal before making a statement.

"Yours will be a shallow grave."

As radiant light bathed the evil spell caster Ea shot a magic arrow with her bow pegging him in the shoulder which caused her to utter something in Untheric before speaking.

"I was aiming for his head."

Wordlessly their enemy swung his arm and four skeletal creatures formed of black mist appeared, the mist lingered and appeared to be protecting them.

Tharien immediately studied the new aura that billowed out from the necromancer, repressing a shudder at the abhorent feel of the magic. Sometimes he wondered if everyone else was extremely pathetic or if he was somehow better than them all, here was an elderly spellcaster, someone who had years of practice, and he could decipher the spell being used in an instance when he hadn't even reached his second decade. It was a scary thought, and one that didn't belong in his mind right now.

With a casual motion he cast pinioning vortex on the necromancer, before pulling his dagger from his belt, flipping the weapon so that he held it by the blade, he threw the dagger at their foe with a practiced movement, the glinting blade whirling towards the hopefully trapped spellcaster. That should end the mist that had begun bellowing out, and also give the other's a chance to take the corrupted being down.

The small being that had only been identified as 'Wrathwood' hadn't stopped after his first attack, lightning gathering up around his hands as he cast Lightning Arc at the necromancer, his almond shaped eyes wide and his lips drawn back into a soundless snarl.

This time Tharien's vortex was a tad more violent than usual as it ripped the necromancer from the ground immediately rather than dragging him into confinement. The wizard's blade did indeed head for it's intended target with speed and precision however it just barely missed the man's body whiffing through his robes without striking anything solid, the blade of course returned to Tharien shortly after.

Lightning danced wildly around the room being directed at the necromancer where it exploded and crackled destroying one of his minions while knocking two prone. It wasn't as effective as one would hope but it did reduce the new arrivals. Aerendis continued to hold his star high whispering another Supernal word as faint runes appeared about the summons before suddenly becoming solid creating a zone of bright light. With this the old man was alone once more his shroud failing to protect the skeletons from non-elemental damage making it useless lest he summon more.

Ea withdrew her bow in favor of her wand which unleashed a green dragon's fang embedding itself in their enemy and poisoning him. The poison was unnecessary as one more good strike would finally kill the necrotic menace.

Sea green eyes blazing with anger, Tharien confured another fireball in hand, hurling it at the necromancer with a a slight grunt. He only hoped that it would be enough to incinerate the foul spellcaster once and for all, ensuring that he wouldn't come back to haunt them a third time by eliminating any trace of his existence from this plane.

The spirit of Wrathwood simply curled in on himself, muttering slightly as the beserking fury left him, the sensation of the necromantic aura still washing over him despite its disappearance. It would take him a little bit of time before he could pull himself together.

Silently Aerendis and Tharien's first encounter together with something remotely evil was dispatched from the Fey and all the worlds as he exploded from the fireball a fine mist swallowing the room. It would blind the four temporarily and then it would evaporate doing nothing harmful besides leaving a final reminder of his black magic. Ea glanced at the strange creature for a moment who seemed to be in turmoil due to the unnatural abomination of wizardry that had been used.

"You can be sure that the abominations will cease. I doubt she would have had that man here if she were capable of doing such things herself."

The paladin carefully put away his holy relic preparing to move forward towards a pair of double doors at the far end of the room. What they would find beyond those doors was a stark change in scenery. Elegant furniture and decorated adjacent rooms designed a household for none other than the terrible woman seeking to manipulate Rillas. She was at the moment nowhere to be seen and a dull fire roared in a fireplace.

Tharien followed Aerendis into the new room, his magic still unfurled and searching, his eyes looking around for anything of particular interest. An individual like Starngatha would undoubtedly have some things that would catch his attention in her living quarters, even if they were foul things. He'd learn all he can to be able to counter whatever he should come across, the encounter with the necromancer was proof of that. It was a relief to him that the corrupted spellcaster was dead now, there was one less of them in the world, even if logically he knew that it would make little difference.

The wilden uncurled and straightened up upon the death of the necromancer, the colour coming back into his skin even if his more plantlike features remained wilted. He shuddered softly and followed the group, severely subdued by the violation the aura had done to his mind.

The wizard's magic scrutinized every detail of the room from it's pink carpet to it's red walls but found only the fire in the fire place to be of magical origin. Of course as soon as his arcane graced it a woman phased in seeming to step out of the fire itself. It was a woman none other than Starngatha wearing a brass breastplate with no pauldron, her skyblue orbs and long red hair defied the dull brown skirt she wore from the waist down. If she weren't an enemy to her own race she could stand to be a decent Eladrin.

"Welcome to my home."

Her voice carried with it a tiny reverb while her magic extended mostly to Tharien as if proffering some kind of magical cordiality between the auras.

"Destroying my guardians and meddling with affairs you can't understand is a strange way to greet someone. Only a minor setback though, while you're here you may as well get comfortable."

Starngatha's gaze met each of them as she gestured at the couches and chairs in her living quarters, eyes lingered on Ea then moved to Rillas flashing with twisted interest and a hint of glee behind them.

"How rude of me not to introduce myself. I am Agera Starngatha the 'witch' as they would call me."

For the moment Aerendis and Ea remained passive knowing obviously that this woman was wicked in ways but she was also a cunning member of the Eladrin race. Above all being rash towards someone able to manipulate Wrathwood in even a small way might be a bad thing to do.

Tharien's aura moved away from the oily sensation of the female's power, a simple curious brush was all the wizard allowed so that he could get an idea of what her power was like. A part of his mind wondered idly what his own aura felt like to others, but he didn't really pay attention to that thought as it was a distraction at best, dangerous at worst.

"Damaging wrathwood isn't exactly something that encourages one to be cordial with one, nor does consorting with necromancers and abominations" Tharien remarked mildly, his tone casual enough to be remarking on the weather rather than rather horrific magical practices, casually taking a seat directly across from her. As a caster he could react instantly even from a sitting position, so he didn't insist on remaining standing. He knew that this situation was dangerous, but it was something he could handle, verbal sparring was just as important for the son of Lahallia as weapon practice, so he had been tutored in that sort of thing as well.

The Wilden boy shifted away from the look of the female eladrin, half hiding behind Aerendis' bulk as a means of avoiding the creepy stare. This was beyond the forest sprite's realm of understanding and he didn't like it at all.

"Oh but I have done no harm to Wrathwood at all."

The female said choosing to sit on the plain air under her as Tharien took his seat. She watched the Wilden curiously while brushing away a lock of her hair before examining the Tiefling then Aerendis.

"That Necromancer came to me and it'd have been terribly rude for me to deny a guest their welcome."

Taking Tharien's example Aerendis sat down to the side of Starngatha followed by Ea the both of them watching the woman wordlessly as she began to play with the air. Fingers danced in peculiar patterns making small flares of color dart here and there.

"Your new friend is shy isn't he? do any of you care to dine at this juncture in your travels?"

There wouldn't be a chance for anyone to answer, Ea huffed and spoke rather briskly despite her appearances so far.

"Do you really not care for the forest witch?"

"If Wrathwood had a problem with me it'd have done something about it. This place is sentient far beyond your understanding however I have been unable to get as close to the Yggdrasil as I wish. I sense the forest is dying and in it's thralls has produced that life form there."

"When said guest is a necromancer, I think denying them welcome is the lesser of two evils" Tharien responded cooly, his hands crossed casually over his chest as he leaned back, his face blank as he stared at the female Eladrin. She honestly seemed to think she hadn't done anything that could be considered wrong.

The small forest spirit glared at Starngatha, outraged at the gall of her, he was here after all, trying to stop her from damaging his forest any further, and she dared speak of his father. Amber coloured eyes watched her very carefully, all his senses at the highest alert as he waited for the source of the rot to take action.

"Oh? you allow yourself to freely judge one based on their profession?"

Twisting some of her hair around her finger she stare intently at the plant child ignoring the rest of the people in the room. What she wanted was him and nothing else but wasn't particularly in the mood to start a ruckus over it.

"I tire of your thoughtless words and I'm guessing you aren't going to leave me even if I ask nicely."

Her lips curled as she stood from her seat upon the air and swiftly turned away from her company walking towards the fire she had come from.

"Well do as you like but I really would like it if you took your behavior elsewhere Wizard."

With a casual gesture Tharien cast scorching burst just in front of the woman, an attempt to stop her from leaving. Cold laughter spilled from his lips as he stood up, his staff attaching itself to his back as he stalked towards Starngatha. "You think I'd just let you go? You are an accessory to necromancy, a foul and corrupted magic. If my young companion there is any indication, Wrathwood and I have the same opinion of you" the wizard stated calmly, drawing his sword as he spoke, "and I can't very well allow Wrathwood to remain tainted as it is"

With Divayth left in the village, Tharien could not walk away while the forest was corrupted, it wasn't safe for his son, "so I suppose the real question is, how are we going to do this?"

The sprite of Wrathwood straightened up under the confident words of the wizard, if this would fix his forest then he would fight until his last leaf had fallen, and his sap turned solid within his body. Amber eyes closed, gathering the power of the wood around him, even in this scary enclosed space he could feel it thrumming through his body, rejuvenating him. Should battle begin, he would be more than ready to take down this female Eladrin.

"I wasn't asking you to let me go I was giving you the chance to spare your own life."

The flames didn't threaten her but they were an act of war which meant battle against her foes would begin now. There was no doubt it would come to this just a matter of who would throw the first stone. Starngatha's staff appeared in her left hand as she turned to face the Wizard and the Wilden. It was an ivory staff gilded with gold decorations from which a black mist poured, with a thrust of the staff this mist flew quickly and directly at the Wilden and Tharien.

It made it's way into their heads robbing them of the ability to command their bodies temporarily. She had the Wilden come to her side and made Tharien cast magic missile at himself. However the spell was only good for one command and as Starngatha went to grab the Wilden she would find it's reflexes were greater than hers. Aerendis stood immediately drawing his weapon, Ea sang a single mystic word causing the hole Tharien would blast through himself to heal just as it had appeared.

"I'll give you another chance to leave me."

Tharien felt his body move of its own accord, a hand pressing against his abdomen as a burst of magic was shot out of his palm, through his body. Letting out a gasp of pain he felt the wound close up just as it was made, he turned his attention back to the witch, fire gathering around his right hand as pure energy coalesced in the left. With two snapping motions of his wrists he sent first a magic missile and then a fireball directly at Starngatha, his sea green eyes glowing slightly with built up power.

The forest spirit quickly called lightning, sending electricity arcing towards the female, followed quickly by teleporting away with voyage of the ancients, until he was beside the others and well away from her grasping hands. Calling on the gathered energy the room quickly filled with a variety of plants as he called on the Verdant Bounty, making it much more difficult for their enemy to see them, and make it harder for her to move around.

Raising her staff feebly in front of herself the fireball exploded on top of her as the magic missile wounded her. Not only did the Wilden get away from her and fill the room with plants as well as thunder but the wizard escaped harm. Further annoying her would be the hallowed circle of light created by Aerendis however Ea cast a dragonfang bolt at her which she was easily able to slap away.

No words left her lips when she threw her staff against the ground causing the room to erupt in hot black flames. It was her Wrathfire curse created and fueled by Wrathwood's own magic cruelly twisting it into a malevolent burning force. With this magic she again temporarily dominated the Wilden forcing him to return to her side but she could do nothing to keep him there. The fire burned at everything except it's caster making escape from it impossible.

"You are all beginning to annoy me but that is all you can do."

Tharien made a sweeping gesture with his free hand, a pinioning vortex coming into existance around the witch, a twirl of his sword sending a magic missile zooming straight towards her, his skill with that particular spee was such that it was never something he thought about, just something he did automatically. The heat of the flames brushed across his skin, the oily magic that lingered in the air causing him to curl his lip in disgust.

The Wilden boy hurled a Lightning arc at Starngatha as soon as he gained control of his body once more, his face a mask of the anger of the forest as he teleported away from her once more, pumping power into the verdant bounty so as to keep the plants in the room despite the fire that raged around them. "You have twisted ourself for too long seed of rot, We will not stand for this damage to ourself any longer, you will not return to the forest once we have extinguished you" the small creature snarled, canine teeth extending as he channeled some personality from the animals of Wrathwood.

Kneeling down to retrieve her staff she felt a vortex forming around her and with a slash through the air of her weapon the magic supporting it disappeared. Magic missile met it's mark as it always does giving her another nice magical wound. Again the Wilden escaped her shooting more lightning element magic at her which did it's share of damage but Starngatha wasn't visible bothered by it.

"Seed of Rot?"

From out of the bounty leaped Aerendis with his flaming sword bringing it down on the witch only to have her stop his blade with her staff parrying him to the side. However a magical arrow struck her side courtesy of Ea before it disappeared leaving a wound. Starngatha's hair whipped wildly as she pulled more magic from the forest violently ripping it from it's source instead of carefully guiding it. This earned a low rumbling moan of pain from the arcane itself which all but Aerendis could hear.

Suddenly as if time had stopped a wave of primal force erupted from Starngatha evoking it's rage on the exposed minds of her foes. Tharien, Rillas and Aerendis felt the fury of Wrathwood take over their minds pleading with them for help before they blacked out. Ea was the only one to stand and resist the 'spell' perhaps due to the nature of her mentality, her shot was a Jinx Shot and Starngatha's wound pulsed with pain knocking her prone after attacking but perhaps too late.

Again she made Tharien shoot himself with a magic missile but he remained standing and dominated by Starngatha. Rillas was the focus of her next command, she gestured at the fireplace behind her and the Wilden went into it being transported elsewhere in her tower for confinement. Aerendis under the command of Starngatha turned his flaming blade on himself immolating his own body in the process.

"Stop it!"

Ea shrieked barely able to sing her song of mending in the vein hope that her friends would snap out of their curse. It was a jagged and broken song but it saved Aerendis and Tharien. The Paladin snapped out of Starngatha's control blinking for a few moments before remembering what was happening around him, he looked to Ea seeing how visibly disturbed she was but before he could say anything Ea chased Rillas through the fire place.

"Well I guess it's you me and the wizard."

Starngatha quipped unable to stop Ea's pursuit from her position on the floor. Standing up she brushed herself off making Tharien fire a magic missile through Aerendis and stand defiantly in front of herself.
