Orion didn't say anything - he felt like he was about to be sick. The way Joe had just flat out killed a man in cold blood and could act so completely calloused about it. Why did the man have magic? He was a madman, he could hurt somebody - had hurt somebody. It was terrible...
But he didn't move, still staring at Joe. _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

Tanwen had thought Joe was a psycho before,but this switching of personalities made her very uncomfortable. Who was her? Who were these men? And why had joe attacked them? Tanwen shifted her weight and winced, she'd forgotten about her leg. She didn't like this, not one bit. |

He got a glass of water and dumped it on the man's face. He hadn't struck him too hard, just enough to take him out for a while. He may revive him. "Wakey wakey!" he smacked the cultist.
"Ah.. wah!" he recoiled at the sight of the white man.
"Now, now, that's no way to treat an old friend! Come, we must have met at a community dinner or something! I recognize you, anyway, why don't you recognize me?" at least he thought he did. He wasn't too sure.
"I don't know what you're talking about..." he tried to look at the others, but Joe's hand grabbed his hair and pulled him back.
"LOOK AT ME!" he yelled. "You don't know who I am? Did the Master tell you nothing?"
"He didn't mention you, sir. He just said to find the girl..." the man began to whimper.
"Why? What's important about the girl?" he hissed.
"She, the mage! He knew things! She might have information about the master. How his forces can be stopped!"
"Oh really? Anything else?" his voice became suddenly calm. Rather... disturbing.
"I'm sorry! Don't let the Master know! Please!"
"Oh, he knows. What's more, you can send him a message for me, you sniveling dog."
"Please, please, anything!" he cowered. Joe laughed.
"You're so pathetic. Did you join the Society because of their promise of Life Eternal?" The man nodded meekly. "Pitiful. Here's the message for you master," he put the barrel of the gun against the cultist's head. The man cried, moaned, begged for mercy for all of a second, then he ended.
"You all know we're fighting a war, right?" he smiled pleasantly at Tanwen and Evec. "Demon, magic, ancient prophecies and all that jazz?" |

"There's a war going on," Evec said, still staring at the man. "I'm not involved, I'm not fighting. I'm trying to help clean up the aftermath!" he backed away.
"I...I mean, I'm not a fighter!" _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

Tanwen watched in horror as Joe Kerr interrogated the cultist. At the mentioned of her, she stiffened. They were after her? They thought she knew something. She clenched as fist as she remembered the old mage who'd raised her. Had they been the ones who'd killed him?
She was taken aback when Joe Kerr confronted evec and her. She could only nod, she didn't trust her voice. |

"Oh, but now you are Doc! The Society knows about you now! Oh, and they know about me too!" he smiled at the thought of killing those cursed demon loving fools. They... did something to him.
"And they think the kiddo there knows something important. We should probably do something about that," he added as an afterthought. "Anyway, while you two figure it out, I'm going to meditate."
He frowned. It was never fun. Never never never. |

"I...I don't know anything...." Tanwen's voice was shaking slightly.
But was she so sure of that? He'd been a big fan of codes and puzzles. How did she know he hadn't taught her without her realizing it? |

Evec stared at Tanwen, confused. "What could you know that this Society wants?" he rubbed his hands through his hair, staring at the meditating Joe Kerr.
"I mean - what do they want with you?" he put his face in his hands. "I guess this is what I get for showing hospitality..." _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

The other man was already beginning to meditate, however. He was intent on getting this done quickly. He always saw a string of unrelated images, each and every one could have been his past. All of them were painful.
For the time being, those two were on their own. |

"I don't know..." She collapsed onto the couch, head in hands, "I really don't..." |

Evec stared at Joe - he obviously knew more about what was going on than any of them. Inwardly, he was cursing himself for inviting those two in the first place - look what had happened? But another side of him was curious as to know what it was that Tanwen knew... _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

Tanwen looked up at Evec and Joe kerr, confusion and fear mixed in her face.
"He didn't teach me anything....I'm not mage...What could I possibly do that could stop the Demon....." |

When Joe's eyes opened up, he was unhappy. He glanced at the other two, and barked. "What the heck are you staring at?"
He got up sharply and walked to the back rooms. He wanted to be alone. |

Tanwen stood up, intending to retort to joe kerr. She had no sooner jumped to her feet then her head seemed to explode in pain, as she crumpled to the floor. She screamed out, her blood seemed as though it was liquid fire in her veins. She screamed, feeling as if she were about the die, her vision was gone all she could see was fire. She was sweating intensely as she writhed on the floor, visions of fire dancing before her eyes, taunting her as if they knew her pain. |

Evec stared at Tanwen, an expression of horror growing upon his face. Two people with magic in his apartment - one completely untrained, one obviously insane. He suddenly began to worry.
"Tanwen...uh, I think you're going to need some training." _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.
