Torvil returned from Kazeha, having dragged Asy back with him. It had taken a lot of dragging.

Ala waited for her mate and his cargo in their living room, she was currently feeding Surion everything that had happened recently was very much on her mind

Asy smiled at her as he entered the room. "Apprentice and sister..." He smiled, hugging her.

"Hello Asmodeus" she greeted him returning the hug around her son

Asy smiled. "And hello small one... How are you?" He chuckled knowing the child couldn't talk yet.

Surion broke away from his mother to look up at the man "Aahhhppppffttt"

Asy chuckled and smiled. "Well that's good to hear..."

Torvil smiled and chuckled.

"Least I'm getting him to not bite me while he eats, those teeth of his are SHARP" she said knowing a couple more had started to erupt from the gums in the previous day or so

Torvil chuckled softly.

Asy nodded. "I would hope not..." He smiled.

Ala laughed sitting Surion in her lap "So I see Torvil managed to detach you from Dia"

"Dia was in training, and I was kinda asleep..." Asy admitted.

Torvil chuckled. "He left a trail an inch thick in the wood..."

Ala laughed loudly hearing this

Torvil chuckled and nodded. "Yeah..."

Asy looked away, blushing.

"Anyways, I'm guessing by what you said Torvil has told you what's been going on lately" she mused

Asy nodded. "It's been a long time since one of our brothers or sister's has visited us..." He mused

Ala raised a brow "Say want?"

Asy chuckled. "The Kerrsal are related to us necromancers... Few know so, but we have a common ancestor"

"Interesting concept" Ala mused motioning her husband to take Surion who was reaching towards him

Torvil smiled and took Surion, doting on the child shamelessly.

Asy chuckled.

Ala got up "guess that's what Danyen meant by the nether not having been used in so long"

Asy nodded. "A shame, your people are great at the art..."

"I wouldn't really know, I know very few Kerrsalians and don't know a lot about the past of them" Ala mused

Asy nodded. "Well you shall learn... Shall we go... All around me..." He said motioning.

Ala nodded and moved closer to Asmodeus handing Torvil Surion's blanket

Torvil put the blanket over Surion's head, putting a had on Asy.

Ala copied her mate

Torvil kept his eyes open, and Asy looked to Ala. "Open or closed, it's up to you now..."

Ala nodded and just watched him

Asy shifted them straight to the Wisen Chambers.

Ala looked around the empty room and raised a brow looking back at Asy "Why are we here"

"Checking to see if the Elder ones are in... I already have a lock on the one Torvil blood oathed..."

"The Wisen Danyen?" Ala asked

Asy nodded. "Yes..." With that, he jumped them to Danyen's location."

Danyen looked up from what he was working on, he blinked "What the..." he spied Ala and Torvil "I thought we told you we wanted to avoid this"

Asy chuckled. "They didn't make this choice Brother..." He smiled.

Danyen straightened his legs as he had been sitting and floated around the desk towards the group staring at Asy "And why would you call me that" he asked suspiciously

"May Lady Kalika's embrace shelter you, and may Lord Krishak guide your hand..." Asy said, making a low bow with both hands clasped at his chest.

Danyen stopped moving hearing Asy's words it was a line he had not heard since he was a child many many years before ' And to what end do you know the Lady Kalika goddess of the waters of knowledge and the Kerrsalian people' he said in pure Kerrsalian more of a test then anything

'Because she was the bride of my god, Lord Krishak, though few know it such...' Asy shot back in a very old dialect.

"Very interesting" Danyen said watching him then looking between Ala and Torvil

Torvil just shrugged, not having understood a word. He held Surion though.

Ala just stared back

Danyen looked back to Asy 'I don't believe I caught your name'

'Asmodeus...' He said in Kerrsalian, it sounding a lot different. ' Asmodeus Grims, Department head of Troublesome Spirits, teir two...'

'I am Danyen Domin Kerrsalian Wisen... And what can I do for you Asmodeus Grims' he asked floating only a few feet away

'You can start by telling me why you no longer enter the nether...' He said slowly.

Ala moved around Asy to stand with Torvil

Danyen was silent for a time 'No Kerrsalian has used the Nether besides Alatariel Rakamash since the time of the Great City's falling' he spoke only in Kerrsalian

'But why... I know of the Liches... we dealt with many of them...' He made a hissing noise. ' They blasphemed...'

'Many years of staying out of the public eye. Staying hidden and unfound by the Liches' he said

Asy sighed. 'They are gone save one... Her plantar went undestroyed...'

"That's buried out of the accessibility of anyone besides my mate" Ala mumbled

Danyen looked towards Ala, he knew she was a child of the Liches but not that she had that item

Asy looked to her. "Then all is well..." He said softly.

"Locked up and buried deep in the earth under my shop" she said fidgeting with her white hair

Asy chuckled. "We shall leave her there, she can cause no harm..."

"She was... my mother" her expression grew angry when she told him this

Asy nodded slowly. "I see..." He mused. "I'm sorry if I offended..."

"No you didn't, I just.... don't care for her" she said quietly

Asy nodded. "I see..." He tapped his chin. ' Why do you know know of Krishak?'

Danyen looked back to Asy 'He is in several ancient scrolls, and a Wisen is required to read said scrolls in their training'

Asy nodded. 'He is your goddess' husband...' He murmured. ' Death and fire...'

'Mmhmm That he is' Danyen replied

'Yet I'm sure the normal populace knows nothing of him...'

'Perhaps not, we have closed ourselves from almost all of the Gaian world. The only current exception being the village we founded many years ago' Danyen said

Asy nodded. 'Kazeha...' He said with a slight grin.

'Aye Kazeha' he said slightly raising a brow

'I live there now...' He chuckled.

'Very interesting, I'll have to make sure the other Wisens know' He said

Asy chuckled. 'Feel free...'

Danyen nodded 'Anything else I can do for you?'

'Not particularly...'

'Then do you mind if I get back to my tasks' he said already heading for his desk

Asy nodded and gathered the others up, Torvil already blanketing Surion.

Ala turned back towards Asy touching his sleeve

Asy jumped them to the main square of the hidden city, feeling in a playful mood. He tossed back the cowl of the black silk robe Dia had made him, exposing his long notched and pointed ears.

Many of the public stopped and stared at the group that appeared a couple took off running

Ala just stared at the ground noticing where Asy had taken them this time

Asy smiled, and looked about. 'Fear us not!' he shouted at the top of his lungs.

Torvil cringed and nudged him in the ribs.

It didn't take more then a few moments for them to be surrounded by a squadron of Kerrsalian warriors all in a defensive stance

Asy shook his head. 'Lady Kalika's embrace shelter you, and may Lord Krishak guide your hand...' He said in his aged dialect, knowing he could jump them before anything bad happened.

every single warrior around them had their hands together under their sleeves and every one of them watched the group with shifted eyes as they appeared to be waiting

Asy shook his head. and smirked. 'I bet... Ten water crystals that I can incapacitate the lot of you before one of you even lays a hand on me...' He said, counting the guards, seeing about twelve. 'No sweat...' He smirked, separating from Torvil.

Torvil nearly smacked him over the head with his own hand.

The warriors said nothing, nor did they move. The crowd separated as a smaller group of people moved towards the circle the warriors had made. it was about 6 men and women all clothed like Danyen

Asy chuckled and smirked, looking at the Wisens. 'Hail!' His dialect must have sounded very formal to them.

None of them looked happy to be dealing with this and none were from the group who spoke to Ala and Torvil the day before as they floated into the circle and spread out a bit 'Who are you that appears in the center of this city'

'Asmodeus Grimms, Head of the Troublesome spirits division tier two... Pain in the ass extraordinaire...' He chuckled. 'You must forgive my behavior, My friend pulled me out of bed this morning and embarrassed me... So I am likewise returning the favor... in a different way...'

'Appearing in the center of this city is not considered an embarrassment in our eyes. We however are a very quiet kept to ourselves group of people and also very protective. Hence the many charms placed on this city' one of the Wisens replied

'Yes, thank you for those, they're rather fun to navigate...' He chuckled weakly. 'I do apologize...' He bowed. 'I was out of line, but only because I was upset...'

'Your anger should be taken out on appropriate venues, we did not cause this anger it should not be taken out here' he replied

Asy shook his head. 'I did not mean to scare you, though you should know all the Liches are gone... You are free to be unhidden... please... Return to traveling the nether brothers and sisters... your kin miss you dearly...'

'We are not free to be unhidden, while the presence of the Liches are gone our people have other enemies' Another Wisen spoke

'At least return to the nether, talk with us again...' He murmured. 'Elder Grimms worries that soon our people will have nothing more to share...'

'We will consider it at our next council meeting' Was his reply

'Then the three of us shall be leaving...' He bowed to the warriors. 'The wager still stands...' He smirked.

Ala sighed just wanting out of there

Asy bowed the them all and jumped the four out of there, back to their home.

Torvil bopped him hard when they landed. "You ass!"

Ala turned away from Asmodeus and left the room without a word

Torvil left with her, carrying Surion.

Asy shook his head and jumped out of the house, back to Kazeha.

Ala wandered into the kitchen rather annoyed as she started rooting through the fridge

Torvil sighed. "Sorry love, shoulda know he'd cause trouble..." he sighed. "My fault..."

"Danyen made it clear that we had been told not to do that." she grumbled pulling out some meat

"I'm sorry love, I did not think he would do it that way, I told him a good distance from the city..." He growled, but softly, holding Surion softly.

Ala nodded dropping the meat on the counter and ripping it open. She washed up and walked towards him "You cook it love I am going to change Surion" she said reaching to take him

Torvil handed Surion to her and tossed the meat roughly in the skillet, letting his anger out on it, pretending it was Asy's face.

Ala took Surion heading for his room

"Mmmmmma" Surion pulled at her white hair

Torvil finally tossed the meat on a plate, most of his aggression taken out.

Ala returned calmer and playing with Surion who was giggling in her arms

Torvil smiled softly at her and sat down, pushing the plate to Ala first, too lazy to cut it.

Ala put Surion in his swing and wound it up before taking a seat and starting to eat

Torvil let out a sigh. "Okay, so that's the last time I take /him/ anywhere..."

"We didn't take him anywhere, he took us... You told him what happened a few days back didn't you" she said between bites

Torvil nodded slowly. "Yeah... to the letter, everything they said..."

"No I mean about what I wound up doing...." she said mumbling

Torvil nodded. "Yes, I told him..."

"What did he say about it?" she asked

"That it was bound to happen since I exposed you to the nether

Ala nodded and went silent

Torvil started to hum to lighten the mood, a happy dragon tune.

Ala smiled softly and pushed the rest of the meat towards him

Torvil smiled and ate, leaving her to pick up the tune if she wished, to make up as she went along if she felt like it.

Ala smiled and hummed softly looking over to her son who was falling asleep

Torvil smiled and finished off the meat. "Shall we put him to bed?" He asked softly. Humming with her now.

"If you want love, he's been fed and changed for the night" Ala said softly

Torvil nodded and moved to get his son out of the swing.

Ala watched him noticing her son had gotten larger over the last while

Torvil smiled softly. "He's getting heavier..." He chuckled weakly.

"He's getting older" Ala chuckled

Torvil laughed softly. "That too..." He brushed his slumbering son's cheek.

Ala chuckled "Yup, soon move his crib back to his room"

Torvil nodded. "Do that tonight?" He mused.

"If you want to love" Ala said with a nod

Torvil smiled and headed for their room with Surion, intent to move the crib and him at the same time.

Ala followed after him

Torvil put Surion in his crib and then picked that up, heading for the nursery.

"Need any help love?" she asked watching him

Torvil shook his head. "Just make sure my path is clear..."

"Should be" she went down the hall and double checked

Torvil nodded and quick paced the the nursery.

Ala waited off to one side watching him enter the room smiling

Torvil softly put the crib down where it belonged and smiled. "You just make noise little man... Daddy or mommy will hear you and come..."

Ala smiled and left the room "He's getting to be so grown up" she said softly

Torvil chuckled. "Nothing compared to the twins..."

"Definitely, considering we are grandparent more times over then I want to count " Ala mused leaning against the wall in the hall

Torvil nodded and hugged her as he walked by, pulling her with him. "Yeah..."

Ala wrapped her arms around him looking up at him purring softly

Torvil smiled and walked with her to their bedroom.
