Danika dipped her head back to him then shifted so he could see her as her human form also "Nice to meet you too Brom" She said softly.

"Yes, I mean humans, ones no shifter would care if you ate. They are going to come after this" Don said and held up the trackers in their bottle "The humans who dared to put these in our people will come after your people also. It benefits everyone to have them die, though they will be armed. I would be greatly surprised if they have not tried to bring any of your family in yet."

"Good day Prince Falkirk" Sonya said then looked to Star and the two guards with a smile again.
Star watched Falkirk go then turned back to Sonya so they could go in and start training with her magic again.

Kyra tied the rope to the two baskets and looked up at him to bring them up. Once they were up, she headed up to help bring them inside.
~~~
(Anna's going basically in circles, Jason is heading straight to the ridge to set the trap.)
Jason headed towards the ridge and let Anna do her thing. He sent a call to one of the wolves to get them set up and hidden in their places.
She was intermittantly letting the tracker work then blocking the signal again to tease and draw Marcus's men out.
~~~
(Yeah, I figured his pet wizard had long ago made a shield type thing, but it could go to a proxy too, lol)
Jackie continued the chanted spell, hoping it would stop soon so she could focus on healing any damage it had done to Garth.
~~~
When he stopped, Angela looked around then got down to get her own drink. She hoped there wouldn't be too many deaths from that stuff before they could get any warning out.
Falkirk walked down the hall and went back to his room.
~~~
Ender and Spyro bowed to Sonya before moving into the training room. They held the doors opened for the females.
~~~
Graydon smiled pleasantly as she helped move the baskets into their home. "I love our home. It's so safe and wonderful at the same time." He replied happily.
~~~
(So, who is Zypher and Keira with? Jason, right? ")
Zypher followed along, checking the landscape for movement in case of an ambush.
Keira had shifted to her wolf form. She scented the area to also searching for something out of the ordinary.

(I know he has that protection pendant. But my rational behind that is, that since Markus has Storm as a hostage to control Xavier. Wouldn't Xavier reverse his protection spell? That's what I meant by Markus needing a proxy. Because when the spell backlashes, Markus will find out what Xavier has done.
)
Garth's pain slowly subsided. He took a deep breath in relief. He was weak, but feeling better by the second. "Thank you, Jackie! I don't know what happened." He said truthfully.

Markus was looking though some reports. He glanced at Xavier and saw a smug look upon his face. He'd been acting that way since he'd sent the death spell. He focused his attention back on Richardson as he explained his findings at the ghost signals. He was about to ask a question when suddenly, he didn't feel right. Then it struck full force. His blood was like it was on fire. He looked to Xavier again and he was smiling widely.
Xavier had been waiting for the backlash. He knew of the white witch that lived in the forest. Her powers were renowned. He stood up and said, "Amateur, death spells always have a price. Oh, and once countered, they always fall back on the caster three fold. Give me back my son and I will help you." He said with venom in his voice.
Markus smiled cruelly at Xavier and shook his head. "You have proven you are untrustworthy. Why would I dare trust you again? Besides, I have studied heavily and leaned quite a few things." He explained through clenched teeth. He quickly chanted a proxy spell and cast it at Richardson. Instantly, the Sargent crumbled in agony. After a moment, Markus's pain subsided. He straightened in his chair and looked down at Richardson. He sighed and said to him, "I'll forgive your failure, this time, Richardson. Because I know you won't repeat it in the future." Out of the corner of his eye, Markus saw Xavier chanting something. Markus smiled and turned to stare at him. "Do it and your son is dead for sure. My men have orders, that should anything happen to me, Storm's life is forfeit." He explained to the warlock. When Xavier stopped mid spell, Markus picked up his walkie and ordered the removal of the writhing Richardson.

Nektar refreshed from the cool water, was ready to run some more. "Did you want to ride more or fly?" He asked curiously.
