*A small explosion happens as soon as Cal tries to use magic on Mergoux*
*Her tattoos glow bright blue and everything is pushed violently away from her*
*Most of the medical team lie groaning on the floor as Mergoux's wounds stop bleeding*


*Gharn comes outside, nods to Gandrea and David then transforms and goes for a run only to pause and stare at Daveth*
Gharn: You have had too much to drink...


*Dria comes out to the main room and smiles at Joelia and Santiago*
Dria: Hi!


*Scatty drops from a tree near the edge of the woods and heads towards the room*

*David nods to Gharn, then wraps himself in his wings.*
*He then waves over at Gandrea, and starts walking towards her. Then notices Daveth and frowns.*
David: You alright?

---
*Brunor eats as well.*

*Gandrea perks up at Daveth's singing, and stands up*
Gandrea: ​The night is long, and the path is dark... Look to the sky, for one day soon, the dawn will come...
*She heard the song from an old friend back in Azeroth, and she starts walking towards Daveth's voice*
*Her singing isn't as good as drunk singing*

~

*Joal looks between Vosk and Santiago, and mentally laughs*
Joal: (If you can, please tell my soul-mate that we are talking mentally.)

*Gharn moves next to Daveth*
Gharn: Perhaps you should lie down?


*Cal groans and sits up then stares around the room and at Mergoux*
Cal: Right then... No magic
*Starts stitching her up as the runic tattoos fade*

*David jaw drops slightly at Gandrea sudden singing.*
David: You sing? Who would have guessed.
*He frowns at all of this.*

*Gandrea nods at David, then continues looking for Daveth*
*She hums the rest of the song*

*Marla is thrown back and groans helping up another nurse who got thrown a wall and gently helps her sit down in a nearby chair *

Cal... No pain killer. She seems to have some kind of bad reaction .. I used *insert name" before and she geot very scared.
*helps cal after a minute to regain composure from magic blast*

...

*marinalia gets up after a while, slings rifle over shoulder from humvee and follows after where Morgan might be*

Hey.. Where are ya? Be careful in here ... The basement is not most steady in a few rooms. Stick to middle.

*wanders slowly though the ruins of the stables before finding finding some old stones that lead to lake path and a old spot you could rest on way round under cover*

...

*Furia leaves thoeth a note in language she told him that his universes most boring technique yeilded a result though still annoyed at the night so decides to leave a note. *

*heads back to the Barbarians who are eating large bear steaks round a open fire *

*Thoth checks the note and quickly goes to find the barbarians*


*Cal nods and does his best to heal Mergoux*


*Morgan is wandering around and smiles when he sees Maril*
Morgan: Hey, this place is awesome!


*Gharn frowns follows Daveth around for a bit, making sure he doesn't fall and hurt himself*

*marla helps cal and cautious what she uses on merg as too weak to wanna make her ill to. *

*barbarians gathered round a fire eating bear meats, cleaning heavy weapons and swords and celebrating a good hunt. *
*most turn when notice thoeth and camp goes rather quiet*

...

*marilania *
Yeah. I never was out this way so your first to find it bar me I think... I don,t think anyone else has set foot here in years.

There's a old folly somewhere round this path I think... I not fully exlpored thr place my self.
*looks round as the place has few land marks*
*alot more relaxed and seems happier to have got out room*

*Morgan nods*
Morgan: It's definetely pretty old, you wanna show me around what you know?


*Mergoux stabilizes cause that whole thing was a dumb idea*


*Thoth scans the barbarians*
Thoth: I seek Furia, bring her forth

*marinalia*
Sure... Just over here.
*leads down a rather over grown trail and up a sheer section of collapsed stairway finaly finding what she after*

Agh.. Knew it was round here.
*leads to a partly collapsed columned structure like a round Greek temple next to a area of badly overgrown now wild roses and hedges*

Here... I thought one would be here... Most estates have such things.

...

*Marla relaxes slightly as merg finaly out of danger for now and sits down tiredly *

...

*Furia steps forward on her own and several others eye theoth carefully and look defensive of clam mate*

*furia*
Yes. I'm here.
And I need no one to bring me.

*Thoth looms over Furia*
Thoth: I received a note. What do you have for me?


*Morgan looks around*
Morgan: What is this place?
*Looks around for any writing, if it's Greek or Latin or Sumerian he'd be able to read it*

*Furia*
You have a child.
Boring night though. Like board.

Said in note.
*barbarians look round and seem to casting judgement if his genes are good ernough *

...

*marinalia*
Umm.. Estates. They build these for decoration..
Sometimes there restored ruins. .. Place to sit out weather.
*has writing in a greekish language but that's mostly a old serris of poems its builder seemed to like*

*clouds slowly starten to darken and rain comes down and get colder*
*not notice at first but Marinalia sits down and shivers slightly and goes slightly paler*
*Morgan should remember she has a cold weakness*

*Thoth clicks his beak*
Thoth: How on Danu did you give birth so... soon?
*Seems very surprised and intrigued*


*Morgan looks around*
Morgan: Getting kinda cold, here
*Takes off his jacket and goes to put it around her shoulders*
Morgan: It's getting dark too... You want to light a fire? Or try to head back?

*furia*
No... Child inside me still..
We have no such separate language as you.
Child in and out...

You not that magical...

...

*marinalia nods and hand shakes somewhat pulling jacket round self as cold effecting her and placing rifle next to her*
Fire... Need warmth... Trail not easy in dark...
My blood not handle cold well. Winter survival was hardest thing I had to do.

*shakily pulls a magazine out for pistol and hands a few shels*
The propellent charge should get it going faster.

*Morgan nods and looks more serious*
Morgan: Alright, hang on just a moment
*He looks around then starts pulling the vines and creepers off the ruined walls and pillars and makes a large pile*
*He then makes a smaller pile and starts that on fire, slowly feeding it from the bigger pile of greenery*
Morgan: Come on, sit by me and let's get you warm


*Thoth shakes his head at his own stupidity*
Thoth: Of course. My apologies, simply keep me informed.
*He cocks his head clicks his beak rapidly*
Thoth: Just... wait. We will see what powers the child has once they are born, as for my own magic.
*He frowns down at the woman then flicks a finger at one of the Barbarians who's weapons melt*

*Daveth laughs when he hears Gandrea singing, and heads towards her*
*stops when he sees her*
D: You do the singing too? Was good.

*Santiago nods to Dria and smiles*
S: Hello, Dria.

*Voskrinod nods*
V: Of course.
*quickly explains it the situation to Santiago, cause I cbf writing that whole interaction out rn, and Santiago frowns*
*Low key jealous that someone else can talk with Joalia, but he's also happy that she can talk with someone*
S: Thank you for telling me. But how can you do it?

*Voskrinod shakes his head*
V: It's something I always could do.

*Dria smiles at Joalia and Santiago*
Dria: Welcome back!
*Gestures next to Joalia*
Dria: Can I sit?
*Overhears the convo cause she's right there*
Dria: You can speak through your mind Joalia? Like psychically? That's really cool!
*Grins, showing her shark teeth*

*marinalia*
Sorry... I shoulda been more careful... *goes closer to Morgan and leans closer trying to keep warmer*
*still pale but slightly more steady closer by fire*

Our resistance to heat has a cost.
*first time he probbly seen her vunrable from cold anyway *

...

*barbarians jump up and are fearful but also angry and suprised*
*Furia*
We know how to look after our own...
Magic rare..... Powerful but magic price high. Dangerous.
Nature make danger as warning...

...

*marla*
I'm gonna rest cal... If David turns up Il tell him she,s stable.
*sits in a chair bear entrnece and rests eyes half asleep*

*Santiago nods*
S: Of course, have a seat. And it's good to be back.

*Voskrinod smiles*
V: Yes, telepathy. A very useful skill.
*didn't expect the shark teeth, but they don't seem to bother him*

*Gandrea nods, and tilts her head at Daveth's drunkness*
*Sighs and shakes her head*

~

*Joal smiles at Dria, but leans her head on Santiago's hand cause she can*
*She's happy that she's back*

*Cal nods*


*Thoth smirks*
Thoth: Magic is only dangerous to those who don't know how to use it. I know how to use it, therefor it is not dangerous to me.


*Dria smiles and sits*
Dria: I always wondered what it'd be like to be telepathic, people normally assume that because we're twins, Morgan and I have some form of... connection, but that's just not true


*Morgan puts a arm around Maril and smiles teasingly*
Morgan: Maybe if you'd not walk around in a bikini-top...
*Keeps feeding the fire*

*David still remains seated outside and still looks confused by Gandrea's singing.*
*He sighs, rises to his feet, and heads to the medbay to check on Merg.*

*Daveth frowns at Gandrea's frown*
D: Somethink wrong?
*swaying as he stands*

*Santiago smiles at Joalia and moves himself closer to Joalia*

*Voskrinod nods*
V: With fortune, you could become a sorceress. But such an endeavor is not to be taken lightly.

*marinalia smiles weakly and begins to feel more normal as fire warms her back up and aquires warmth off Morgan*
, you did not exactly tell me not to. Or look away... Maybe keep this bit of the trip quiet from the room..
*smiles teasingly back and plays wafting her hand through flames knowing it hot hurt her*

...

*Furia*
Then you lucky... Many mage more risk to self and those round than master...

*other agree and nod*
Magic is like fire... Powerful fire can burn you.
She ours to protect... Kin folk ours. Loyal to kin..

*furia*
We cautious of such forces... Some things not to be taken lightly..

*Gandrea rolls her eyes, and points at Daveth's swaying*
*She then moves closer so she can take his weight and lead him to his room so he can sleep*
*She doesn't know that he technically killed Elise, btw*

~

*Joalia snuggles, then looks at Vosk*
Joal: (Do you think you could fix my connection with my partner? I miss being able to talk to him...)

*Morgan goes a bit red and looks away but says nothing*


*Dria nods*
Dria: I can do a little, but only the very very basic stuff. I've got a long life to learn though!


*Gharn was also kinda helping Daveth and looks at Gandrea*
Gharn: Will you be alright taking him to bed?


*Thoth nods*
Thoth: What you say rings true. I however am the most learned being in existence, such worries are long past me

*marilania just leans against and begins to nod off asleep*
Hey, I not mind... Not like im naked.
Id not of worn if I was not comfortable being seen in it.

*starts falling asleep pretty fast from heat and closes eyes begining to regain her normal skin colour *

....

*barbarians*
Don,f worry... She safe with us..

Aye, woman with child of great value...
Protected. Know of healer here.. Blonde woman if need help
... Daughter buys furs. Good taste.

*all nod and some go back to meal calmly and others sat carving detailed animals of bone in some kind of cermaonial purpose*

*David checks on Merg, but doesn't wake her.*
*Feels uncomfortable being in the medbay in general, and starts heading out again.*

---
*A portal opens at the treeline, and a winged figure steps out.*
*Has the same characteristics and build as David, but has a orange aura.*
*He starts walking towards the room.*

*Morgan goes a bit redder but calms down as Maril starts falling asleep*
*Smiles and keeps her warm by feeding the fire more*


*Thoth nods*
Thoth: I should hope so. As for a healer, the winged man with silver hair is far better than the blond humani. I would trust him over the humani
*Waves his hand again and the melted sword fixes itself, also becoming far sharper than normally possible then leaves*


*Merg's out cold with loads of stitches*
