"Thank you sweet heart." she said, taking the glass. One big gulp later, Madam Tristcal tucked the newly wrapped package under her arm. "Now grab that bag there and lets head down to the room. Saiya and Kai should be heading to the kitchen soon, and I want to drop this stuff in there before we join them."
Laughing he jumped to his feet. "That's because you have it on backwards." he stated as he reached her. Moving quickly he had the dress turned around and over her head. "It laces up in the front." he explained, kissing her forehead.
Cral plummeted towards the gash in the earth, his heart racing as the adrenaline rushed through his body. He couldn't slow his decent until he was inside the crevice or risk being spotted before his mission had even begun.

Hulinn was instantly awake at the alarm that went off in reaction to his increased heart rate. She frowned as she pulled a map out of her bag and tried to figure out exactly where he was to make sure that this wasn't something to overly worry about.
Abby grabbed the bag and hummed as she headed for the kitchen.
Saiya pouted cutely at him as he shoved her hair out of her face. She opened her mouth to say something but closed it just as fast. Her eyes glazed over and she started humming the same song as Abby as she turned from him and headed straight for the kitchen.

"Saiya?" he asked concerned, following closely after her. "Saiya?"
Cral hit the ground feet first, sending a puff of dirt into the air. His heart still racing like crazy from the drop. A ponding heart that beat against his chest, a smile crossed Cral's face. It reminded him of a little fair well night he'd had. He breathed heavily as he slowly straightened up and readjusted his pack.
Madam Tristcal's head whipped around. "Perhaps its best if we meet them." she stated, turning to walk briskly towards where Saiya and Kai were. "I don't like this one bit." Tristcal muttered.

Abby continued to humm as though she hadn't heard madam Tristcal and headed straight past both her and the kitchen. It only took a moment for the two girls to meet in the one hall, both humming the same tune and both seeming a little out of it. Abby was powerful, and had been taught. It took someone extremly powerful to grab hold of the small girl, but to grab both powerful girls at once was not the doing of someone to be trifaled with.
Hulinn frowned as she finally found the two and blinked at them. "What are they doing?" She asked the Madam.

"ENOUGH!" Madam Tristcal stated wind from nowhere blasting outwards, her voice pliable with power as she put her hands on both the girls shoulders. Her eyes glowed a neon purple as she broke the contact of the intruder. "We must hurry." she stated quietly as she allowed the two time to regain their surroundings.
Kai wrapped his arms protectively around Saiya from behind. "Fight them Saiya." he muttered low into her ear.

Saiya blinked confusedly as she leaned back against Kai. "What?" She asked him, her voice still a little dreamy as she shook her head as though trying to clear it.
Abby on the other hand closed her eyes and Hulinn just caught the girl before she hit the floor. The connection to Saiya was made through Abby, the small girls power used to get better control of the older version. Hulinn frowned. "She seems fine." She reported as she hoisted the girl up and grabbed Madam Tristcal's bag. "Lets get them both in that circle and get this done before we have another attempt." She said as she turned and headed for the room that the two had set up the previous day. She trusted Kai had her neice in hand and didn't bother to look back or slow her fast pace.
Hulinn knew from experiance that even a small child like Abby could become a leathal and deadly weapon if controlled by the right power.

Kai followed Hulinn's suit, scooping Saiya up into his arms. Hurrying after her as they made their way to the room he couldn't help but wonder if he'd ever be able to protect Saiya.
Flapping her arms in the air she took off after the two. "Sure leave the one with the power and old legs behind." Tristcal muttered under her breath as she easily caught up to Hulinn and Kai. "Put them both in the center of the circles." she instructed as she pulled the door open.

Her head clear Saiya shifted out of Kai's hold to her feet as she placed a kiss on his lips. "Wish me luck." She teased with a wink as Hulinn handed her Abby and she moved to the center of the circle.
Hulinn moved back till she was far from the chalk lines as possible. "You might want to join me." She suggested to Kai as she tugged him next to her without waiting for him to replay. "Alright Madam, work your mojo." She said with a wink to Tristcal.

"I'm afraid Kai will have to leave the room for the ceremony." she stated, reaching down to pull out several things from her bag.
Kai was about to protest when Madam Tristcal's head turned to give him a look he couldn't argue with.
"I'll take good care of her... Now shoo!" she added, handing a clock and staff she'd pulled from her bag to Hulinn. "Go stand on the east side their directly opposite me." Tristcal instructed as Kai left, glancing over his shoulder at Saiya.

Saiya gave him a reassuring smile as Hulinn moved to exactly where she was instructed. Saiya watched the preperations around her as Hulinn waited for further directions.
(Time skip?)

((Sure))
Light swirled like matter through the air, circling like the drain towards the center. Lifting the two girls in a bubble of light that then blasted out only to collapse back into the two. The ceremony now finished, Madam Tristcal leaned heavily on her staff. It had taken alot out of her. "Help me get these two to their feet. They'll be a bit shaky for a little bit..." she instructed, moving slowly towards the middle. "But I wouldn't expect anything less after that struggle."
Kai had been close to ripping out his hair as he'd paced back and forth in the hallway. Things had only gotten more tense in the hallway when the wind and light had shaken the closed doors. Pacing back and forth in front of the door, Kai had almost managed to wear in a path. He felt like screaming! When were they going to be done? It had almost been a day and a half already.

Nodding Hulinn quickly helped hoist Saiya and Abby to their feet then hurried ahead of them to open the doors. "Sheesh you'd think she was giving birth." Hulinn snorted with a smirk as she saw Kai. "You look horrible. Help my neice to her room and get some sleep. She should be fine now." She told him as she didn't wait for Madam Tristcal to ask or protest and lifted the woman's weight easily. Walking slower so Abby could follow she deposited the old woman and the child in their room. She set Tristcal on the bed and went over to tuck Abby in. "Alright old lady what is it you want me to take with me, I have job that I'm late for."

"Its the wrapped parcel in the bag their deary." Madam Tristcal stated as she waved a tired hand. She'd barely managed to grab the bag before Hulinn had picked her up. "And I don't enjoy being manhandled like that... But thank you for the help anyways." she added tiredly with a yawn. "Mind you don't open it till you need it. The spell wrapped around the package will know when the powers that lie inside it are needed." Tristcal muttered as she snaked under the covers. "Oh... And it can shrink to fit in whatever tight a** outfit's pocket you decide to wear during this mission." she commented with a slight smirk as she closed her eyes.
Kai visibly relaxed when he spotted Saiya, scooping her up into his arms even as Hulinn was telling him to. "Hey... How do you feel?" he asked quietly, brushing back Saiya's hair.
Cral peeked out over the dune. He'd been able to weave his way to station himself behind the advancing enemy camps. What he saw didn't make him happy at all. Enough battalion flags to account for 6 different attack groups not to mention the specialty flags of fire canons and lightening bearers. Just looking at the army that spread out before him and the destruction they could cause had Cral's heart jumping as it shot him into a flash back...

Saiya smiled contentedly as she cuddled into his hold. "Like I can sleep for a week." She sighed as she started to drift off on his shoulder.
Hulinn rolled her eyes. She had alot of time to make up for, so she shoved the package into her pocket and quickly left the temple. Two hours later found her standing in a tree with a frown as she survayed her 'job'. "This was a bad idea." She muttered as she lept from the tree and made her way silently over an iron fence. Vampires did not take kindly to theives and kept were's as pets when they had something worth theiving. Hulinn rarely took jobs with these kind of risks as they were generally suicidal, and had she not been in just the mood to defy a seer she wouldn't have taken this job. Damn her and her attitude.
Her outfit was almost the same as the previous one. The silver still wrapped around her in it's usual fashion, though her top attached to silver rings around her middle finger, coming to a v over her dark gloves. Around her hips hung a silver belt of moons and stars, just above that was her smaller belt around her waist that held all her little toys. Her pants were just as skin tight as usual, but her boots came to her knees and held throwing dagger made of silver. Her cloak was as dark as her hair and hid her well as she avoided the were's patrolling the yard and managed to make it into the house.

Cral shook his head forcefully as the last of the light faded. Being distracted on this job would get him killed, and there was no way he was doing that. Not now. With one more shake of his head, Cral creped over the dune as the shadows lengthened to hide him.
"Then we'll sleep for a week." Kai replied, happy that she was alright. Reaching their room he laid her gently on the bed and knelt beside her. He wanted her to be safe so much, with every fiber of his being.
