*Cal sighs and mutters*
Cal: Why me?

*Jake then does his best to drawing of a large simple door*

Jake: Come on.. please..

*Oy stands next to Jake* Ake?

*The door somehow opens, black tendrils of energy pour out*

*Cal readies several runes just in case*

*Out of the door steps Roland and a young man in his early twenties. The man appears to holding Roland up and his left eye*

*As Roland enters, reality folds, and he explodes in a puff of paradox. The Roland in the coma, suddenly wakes up*

Young man: You fething did kid..

*Jake smiles, runs up and hugs the newcomer* EDDIE! *Oy runs up as well barking* Ed! Ed!

*As Eddie goes to hug Jake he reveals a gaping hole where his left eye should be, he hugs Jake then slowly sinks to the floor.*

*Jake looks horrified* No! NO! Eddie! *He looks over to Cal* Help!

*Cal starts treating Eddie*
Cal: One of these days.... one of these days you're going to explain all of this

*Jim walks back into the room from his ship and looks around*

*Eddie shakes his head, to Cal. From what Cal can see, there is a perfect circle going through Eddies head. It is amazing he is alive let alone talking*

Eddie:I.. am done kid.. You watch over the dinh..

*Jake shakes his head, desperately looking at Cal and Eddie* Cals a great doctor! You'll be fine!

*Eddie smiles* Shut up kid.. I'll see you at the clearing.. Love you bud.. *Eddie closes his remaining eye, and expires*

*Jake becomes frantic* FIX HIM! SAVE HIM! NOW!

*Maria wakes up slowly and blinks*

*goes to instantly get out of bed and remebers*

Urgh...
*pulls on a robe and usies furniture as support to make way to kitchen before sitting on side making coffee*

*Cal shakes his head*
Cal: The damage to the brain is too extreme... he should have been dead the instant he was wounded... he's gone... I'm sorry... *Looks genuinely sorry for Jake*

*Scatty and Aoife are catching up on the couch while Billy wakes up on the floor confused and becomes even moreso by his seeming double vision*

*Marla walks out with fluffy*

Hey, *looks around* no invasion last night....

*fluffy senses newcomers and Marla notices*
Calm girl. They may not be hostile...

*sees blood on med bay route*
Oh... Anyone need medical attention?

*Prometheus looks over to Marla from where he's talking with Huitz*
Prometheus: Oh hello there! There was a boy who was injured but your doctor *Turn back to Huitz* Caladrius? *Huitz nods* He said he'd be fine
*Huitz nods a hello to Marla and returns to his conversation with his brother-in-law*

*Tears stream down Jakes face, Oy howls in a sorrow.*

Jake: You can't be sure! HE-he just got here! *He looks down at Eddie* TRY AG-

JAKE! *Roland stumbles in, muscles still in fatigue* He is gone..

*Jake runs to Roland, and hugs him.*

*Cal shakes his head again*
Cal: I might've been able to save him if he'd hung on even a minute longer...

*marla*
He,s in safe hands then. No need for my help. And he,s not the only doctor *smiles*

*goes off to kutchen and tosses fluffy a large steak*
Eat fluffy
*fluffy begins taking steak apart quickly*

*makes herself a cup of tea*
Sooo... More immortals?

*Quetz is still in the kitchen and shakes his head at Marla*
Quetz: Nope, some of Scatty's family. He granduncle, the Elder Prometheus and her sister Aoife.

*Roland slowly breaks the hug, he makes his way to Eddie, and looks down at him.*

Roland: Go now. Our journey is done. And may we meet again, in the clearing, at the end of the path...

*Jake wipes the tears from his eye.* Father? What killed him?

Roland: Flagg.. sniper.. I was

*Roland grabs his head wincing in pain*

*Cal looks in confusion at the whole thing*
Cal: Not going to ask... *Looks at Roland * Are you injured?

*Jim takes a seat on a couch and watches TV*

Jim: You guys get any good shows here?

*Billy gets up and sits back on the couch and looks at ZK*
Billy: Good? With Nick's TV you get everything. I mean EVERYTHING

OOC: One of the Rolands exploded in paradox, so only one is here, technically his spirit was pulled from todash darkness*

Roland: I am fine.. I require a favor. I would like to plant a rose on this mans grave.. I have no rose seeds. Do you have any way of acquiring these seeds?

*Jake looks down at Eddie* He would love that...

*marla*

Ok, big family, wel extended family you have.

*Marla sipping tea watching fluffy demolish a steak*

*quetz... *plays with wedding ring nervously *
Maria told me if your offer... Umm do they have to be awakened to be immortal?
Like milo. If Maria and boro do it, thryw fine, milo... Id lose my milo....

*Exits wardrobe in a half buttoned-up shirt and a skirt*

*Walks over to Yarrick and gives him another kiss*

I'll be back soon. Love you.

*Exits room and starts walking towards the Fenrisian hall*

OOC Can't...Sleep...

Quetz: Me? I'm not related to any of them.
And... yes. You cannot be granted Immortality by a Elder without first being awakened. I know that other ways of becoming immortal exist, but I do not know any of them, and I suspect most would not work without the user being awakened. What makes you think you would lose him? Do you fear him going through the awakening process?

*Huitz waves to Amelia then goes back to talking*

*Waves back*

*Keeps walking*

*Jim sits watching TV*

Jim: Not bad.

*marla*
I fear him not agreeing. And then id have to choose between growing old with milo, or my sister forever and leaving her sad... Or leaving me sad...

Then.. *sighs*
Urgh I'm worrying over things that have not even happened...
Sorry quetz... I cam be a right mess at times.

*Billy nods at ZK then goes to get something to eat*
*Morrigan comes out of her room and walks over to the couch tiredly. She sits down half asleep and doesn't notice Aoife*


*Quetz nods*
Quetz: I'm not going to pretend I understand, but I do sympathize. *Bares fangs in a smile*

*Roland and Jake carry the corpse of Eddie and bury him on the forest edge*

*They go back inside.*

*Jakes goes to bed with Oy. Roland goes to the bar.*

*He sits silently at the bar drinking a glass of water.*

*Cal walks up to Roland at the bar and hands over a few packets of seeds*
Cal: Here, these are forever seeds. Anything you plant with these will never wilt. There are several kinds of roses here. I'm sorry about Eddie...

*Roland takes the seeds*

Roland: He was a better man then me... I will plant them with Jake once he is done resting... Thankee Cal.. You don't know what this means to me.. and the boy.
