Llidya smirked when she saw Blaise perch herself upon the stool before. Even with no where to go she still managed to pull off that just came off a walkway, or runway, or whatever the hell those models walked on. A glance was given inward to her wolf, who seemed to be grinning as they were stuck there. And then outward, to the unidentifiable shapes that surrounded her on the supernatural plane. There had been just a few to begin with, but they had multiplied to the dozens. So far, whatever they were, just sat there, content to observe, or just be around.

The unknown shapes made her nervous only because she didn't know what they were. Truth be told, she was actually more nervous about her own wolf than the unknown outside the jade tower. Ever since that bite of power...Llidya didn't really want to think about it. She watched her dark passenger slide it's gaze around the small confines of the circle it had been trapped in for weeks, before looking outward. That grin disappeared and it shifted restlessly.

Llidya had to stop watching it because Blaise started to speak. She was talking to her in statue form, because well, she wouldn't have to worry about interruptions. In a sense, Llidya was kind of glad, because then she wouldn't see her own emotions splayed across her face. As Blaise explained, her attitude became more grim. The images she'd seen weeks ago finally started making sense.

Llidya had been pretty sure of what they'd meant, but she hadn't been totally sure. And now here was a Harmon confirming her suspicions.

There was no crying, no cry of outrage at the unfairness of it all. Just a silence, thoughts processing at how things must be for the rest of the world to continue on. But no, she couldn't bring herself to feel anyway about it. If she did, she knew the selfishness would kick in and she'd fight. It was her nature, to fight. She fought for anything she loved and believed in. But she knew not this time. If she were to fight this time, then everything she loved and believed in would no longer exist.

A soft sob escaped her before she could catch it. But then a deep breath was taken and she nodded to herself. Steeling herself as Blaise moved to open the door to let Lyliyana in.

Tell her I'm fine. I understand. Lyl, we need to go somewhere.

Llidya not once in her life had ever thought that not doing something would be a way to make things better. But she'd been wrong. And that was fine, she'd been wrong before. Maybe, just maybe Miyu could come up with something, and that one chick, Chance that Lyl had told her about. Maybe they could find some way to free her and keep...

No. No they wouldn't. Not according to Blaise. Blaise whom she'd come to trust with her life, and believe in her powers. Llidya looked to Lyliyana as she moved before her with Mr. Grey, sad thoughts in her mind. Well at least she knew she was going to bite the big one. Time to say good bye to loved ones.

At least she got to do that.

Lyliyana had breezed through the shop, waving to Miss Miyu and Miss Chance as she had passed. Mr. Grey was within her arms as per usual. She carried him underarm now that he was much heavier than he had been, what with the addition of the psicrystal and all. She couldn't carry him by his ear anymore as it would rip for sure.

She stopped just outside the door, knowing that Blaise was talking to Llidya about super important stuff. And it wasn't good, from the feelings and thoughts racing through Llidya's head.

She preoccupied herself by looking down at her outfit, one she thought was very cute. It was a new pink bikini, with a pink sarong that had white flowers on it. And she even had a matching pink belly button ring. She twisted her sarong a bit before she looked up as the door opened. She glanced up at Miss Blaise as she spoke, stepping within the room and shaking her head.

"She says she is fine, but she is very sad." Lyliyana told her, setting Mr. Grey on the workbench. She turned to face the statue and that smile faded as once again, Llidya took over her body. Almost immediately her eyes began to shine, and Llidya within Lyliyana turned away. She moved to door, glancing up to Blaise.

"Thanks Blaze, I appreciatcha doin' all that. But I don't know nothing about magic or anything. Lyl says Miyu and Chance are outside, maybe you'd better talk to them. Miyu keeps saying something about a seven tails being inside me, maybe that's the same but not the same as I'd never changed in the first place thing. If ya don' mind, I'd like to go see Ash." She finished her words quietly, unable to hide that sadness that pervaded her being. She turned from the witch, not wanting her to see the warring of emotions across her face as she headed out of the shop. A mere glanced was given to the woman she'd never seen before. She looked up to Chance and Miyu, a shaky smile offered.

"You guys go ahead an' go back. I think Blaze wants to talk to ya 'bout somethin'. I gotta go see someone..." And with that Llidya stepped Lyliyana out the door. She needed to see Ash, and maybe find a miracle.

Chance adored Lyl. Not like Miyu, but it was like that little sister you have to protect at all costs. If you don't, then you're a big fat turd. So when she spotted Lyl making her way into the shop, she grinned and waved, watching her go into the back. She hadn't thought much about it at first, due to the fact she was swimming in Miyu's power, making her own nearly double. It was fascinating, really. Fingers that were innertwined with Miyu's gave a little squeeze when she saw Lyl coming out and telling them to go into the back with Blaise, that they needed to talk. Head cocked curiously to the side, with a short nod, guiding Miyu with her.

Once inside, her eyes were drawn once more to the jade statue, knowing she could communitcate with it, but didn't want to overstep any bounderies, or upset this womans friend(s). Breath was slowly taken in as she moved forward at a snails pace towards the statue. Chewing on the inside of her cheek, hand lifted up, allowing pads of fingers to gently run along the pale green stone. I think I can get you out of there, with just a little help.

Four elements were unbratable. Five was unstoppable, and just by chance, no pun intended, Chance happened to be two, because of what the Sidhe God cursed her with. While using her earth powers, she could tap into the Sidhe ones and have the spirit world help guide them further.

"It would take all four of us, " meaning Blaise, Wendy, Miyu and Chance, "but we can free her."

Winds of Change · Winds of Power

Miyu could feel the little healer's aura as well as sense it. With something that bright, you didn't really need eyes to see it. Thumb stroked over the top of Chance's hand. It was as if the women shared one power. Then again, Air had that affect on most elements. Without Air nothing would be possible. Fire would die without air, the earth would die without air, water would simply stop flowing and dry up without air. Air was life and Miyu was life. She was not a "aggresive" element, she just was. She was the back up if you liked. But linked as closely as she was with Chance it was truely amazing. Miyu blinked those blind eyes at Chance hearing Lyl speak before Hachi turned to follow the women as they moved to the back room.

She didn't even pass the arch of the doorway before every ounce her being screamed in what could have been panic. The air around her pulsed like a homing beacon and first rolling wave hit Blaise and the statue at the same time. While it stroked at Blaise's fire, it battered at the Jade Statue. Miyu stood frozen in her spot with a growling Hachi at her side. The Wind Elemental bound within the form of the Shrine Dog knew the moment he had entered as well that something wasn't right. The fur alone his spine rose and like bells tolling in her ears the illusion was shattered, the wolf beside Llydia was no longer a wolf, it was The Fox.

Miyu didn't waste any precious time, fingers moved in front of her forming symbols with her fingers as she spoke in japanese. The fox, it was him. Just as the legend had spoke. She threw up a hasty shield around the statue, keeping the Fox from working any magic on her. She was after all prime to be targetted, as where any Priestess worth there robes. Hands held out before her, palms facing out, thumb and pointer making a triangle out of flesh.

It wasn't an attack but it was to counter any little magics the fox would try at her. "Seven Tails lays within her, this is bad. This is very, very bad."

Lyliyana felt something very turbulant happen at the other end of their link, back at Thirteen Moons. With great strength of mind, she was able to hold it off while Llidya was having her talk with the nice necromancer lady. It took everything she had to hold the link between Llidya, Mr. Grey, and herself, so she didn't hear anything that Llidya did. Which was very fortunate, as Lyliyana had stepped back into control of her body before for Llidya being a pottymouth.

It was very unbecoming of a lady, after all. Her focus was on the thin line that threaded through space to Mr. Grey, and from Mr. Grey to the Jade Statue next to him. Lyliyana could always see a silhoutte of Llidya's wolf, not clear of course, through the translucent jade. But now the outline had changed. It was a smaller creature, with a giant bushy tail. Or did it have more than one tail? Lyliyana focused her third eye on the creature as she was figuratively wrapping her fists around the thread that led to it. It's back was to her as she tried to understand what she was seeing when suddenly it turned to face her.

A snarl and surge of power vibrated down the line. With a gasp Lyliyana let go and felt Llidya slip from her, back to her jade prison.

Lyliyana opened her eyes, a bemused expression on her features as she slowly stood up, looking around. She recognized where she was, if only because she'd been to the pack house once before. She was a little ways past the end of the drive. Well that was good, this way she wouldn't upset Mr. Redfern for being on the property again. Lyliyana looked down, pulling a small pink phone from the side of her sarong and dialing Hector.

"Hi Mr. Bubbles! It's me! Lyliyana!" Like he would ever not know who he was talking too. "Could you come pick me up?" Lyliyana detailed her location before hanging up the phone and she started on her merry way down the little road, singing to herself as she skipped along. When Mr. Bubbles picked her up, they could go back to Thirteen Moons and pick up Mr. Grey.

Llidya had started her trek back to town, liking the excercise since she wasn't getting any at any other time at the moment. She'd been unaware of what Lyliyana was holding at bay until it felt the need to make it's presence known.

She felt an uncomfortable tug that turned into an agonizing wretching as she was dragged out of Lyliyana's body and back towards Thirteen Moons. Llidya slammed back into the statue with a force that knocked the breath from her body. She was sure she heard some cracking, and would be dismayed to find that the jade she was within had cracked even more. Oh god. She hoped Lyl was okay. That guy Hector could take care of her. Oh jeez she just hoped she wasn't lying unconscious somewhere. She felt the gentle probe of her mind then and realized she was fine, just startled. Well that return trip was absolutely nothing like the warm fuzzy feeling of flight that happened whenever Lyl initiated a return.

Llidya regained her bearings as she glanced around, and saw Miyu and Chance standing before her, Miyu holding up her hands making a shape. What? Chance was making markings on the floor, and she heard Miyu mention seven tails.

Attention turned inward then, and she saw the same bastard fox that she'd seen in her weird dream. I knew it! I fucking knew it! She was not at all happy with the revelation. Her wolf no longer existed. Her wolf that had never really existed in the first place. It's seven tails were swishing as it paced the interior of the jade tower, looking up everyone once in a while to the shapeless masses that surrounded them. With a start, Llidya realized they were actually a little bit closer than they had been, and there were a few more. She looked back out through the eyes of the statue, jaw setting in her mind.

Come on you guys. Severance said I shouldn't face this alone, so it's up to you guys now. Find a way to save the world, with me still in it.
