HiddenSides(1x1)

Oliver nodded and hugged Jonathan tightly. His body shook in fear but he managed to keep up the glow so the others could see. "Can we please go home now?" He mumbled into Jonathan's chest.

Astra struggled to her feet and limped over to the book case. She desperately began to look through the books for a spell to get them all home, her movements becoming more and more frantic as she couldnt fibd anything.

Iris held the cut on her arm, feeling dizzy at the sight of all of the blood. She looked up at Cathryn when she ran over, relieved to see that at least she was ok.

Bard looked down at the cut on his leg from Adreal but shrugged. "Ill be fine. Get your wing fixed." He walked over and picked up the bones, feeling the energy within them. They could safely split if they wanted. Bard bit his lip as he looked at the bones, realizing just how badly he didnt want to be away from Asmund. He tied the bones together and put them in his pocket, planning on hiding them from everyone later. He couldnt lose Asmund.

Mace turned human but stayed lieing on the floor. He gently stroked Lily's hair as he tried to build up some strength. "That went really badly."

"I wish we could, but we have to find a way back first." He said and sighs softly while he just held Oliver close taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

Adreal followed Astra and then said: "I am not sure if you would find it in a book, we will have to find another way." He sighs and looked over at the others then said: "And fast, if this time thing is already going something tells me we won't make it a year here but I am also not sure how fast it moves."

Cathryn hurried to cover her arm with a hit of cloth and then said: "This was anything but pleasant... Astra, do you think we will even find a way back home?" She held Iris slightly just glancing over her wounds.

Aonani looked at Bard who picked up the bones and then said: "I am alright, it should heal soon... just need to catch my breath." She sits down and groans a bit, watching the others while catching her breath.

Lily buried her face into the chest of Mace as she laid there with him and then said: "Yeah... what do we do now?" She sighs a little and just held onto him calming herself down and then said: "How are you feeling?"

[AnnaCat17]

Astra shook her head. Everyone was depending on her but she didnt have an answer. "Itll kill us within the month. Its why all of our powers are weakening us even more. The more magic we use the faster it kills us." She looked at the witches body as she tried to think. "There has to be something here we can use."

Bard ignored everything and muttered to Asmund as they tried to make a plan. He burned away the vines letting the light from the setting sun in so Oliver could finally relax in Jonathan's arms. He knew the witch had more magic that could be used to get them home, the twins just couldnt remember where it was hidden.

"Im ok." Mace muttered, continuing to stroke her hair. "Just tired."

[SecretShadows]

Adreal sighs looking at the others who were all either sitting or laying down clearly tired after it all. "Your right, we have had a worse fight with Asmund before and weren't this beaten up with energy of our own... can we like remove the magic from the which and use it in a way perhaps? Alistorm did it to you so perhaps you also have that ability?"

Lily sighs and closed her eyes feeling as if she could just pass out and sleep, but that idea quickly past when suddenly the same happened to her that happened to Iris the previous day. The electric like shocks flowing over her body as she started screaming in pain.

Cathryn jumped then said: "I-Its happening again... does it like pick a person a day or comes randomly?" She then looks at Bard wondering what he was thinking savior before looking back at Lily.

[AnnaCat17]

Astra looked worriedly at Lily but didnt move to help her. There was nothing anyone could do to help her until it passed. "It comes randomly and will most likely increase in frequency as we get closer to our time being up." She looked at Adreal and shook her head. "She's dead. Your magic leaves you as soon as you die ao there is nothing to harvest now."

Mace whimpered and hovered around Lily but didnt dare touch her, knowing there was nothing he could do.

Once the vines were gone Asmund took over. He stepped around the others and crawled into the fireplace causing himself to get covered in old ashes as he searched the bricks at the back, trying to find the one that could be removed.

[SecretShadows]

Adreal sighs and said "Perhaps she stores magic somewhere? People like doing that... I dont know... for now we just have to do our best to find a way back, let's check for hidden rooms." He starts looking around again.

Lily continued screaming in pain until it finally stopped and just left her breathless again. She groans and then just moved back against Mace with a sigh.

Aonani looks at Asmund saying: "Are you looking for something?" She went over tilting her head as she watched him then sighs and sits down.

[AnnaCat17]

Astra nodded, hoping he was right, and began to search as well.

Mace pulled her close and held her protectively. "Its going to be ok." He muttered as he kissed her forehead.

"No. I just like crawling in fireplaces." He said sarcastically, smirking back at her before resuming her search. "She hid more than just the power Bard and i stole so im trying to remember where the other locations are so we can maybe use one to get home."

[SecretShadows]

Adreal glanced once at Asmund in the fire place and then said: "Wait so she does have magic sitting around? Perfect!" He then continued his search.

Lily sniffed a bit and just cried a little holding onto him and softly said: "Okay, everything will be okay then." She closed her eyes just calming herself.

Aonani gave a small nod and said: "Can I help you then perhaps?" She smiles and watched her. She then held onto her happily.

[AnnaCat17]

"Of course there is. How else do you think we stole our powers." Asmund suddenly sneezed sending the ashes into the air around him and completely covering him but he just chuckled. "There should be one in here, one under a lose floorboard, and one somewhere in the shelves. Dont touch it when you find it or you will absorb it. Ok?" He instructed before going back to searching the bricks.

Iris started to help search the floorboards since it would be the hardest to find.

[SecretShadows]

"Oh, so that is what you stole from her." Adreal said and laughed a little then nods and started looking in the shelves being exstra careful not to touch it if found. He then said: "Okay but if it's in a container then it's pretty much impossible to touch." He chuckled a bit.

Aonani watched them search and decided ri also look around on some other places just in case there was some more missing.

Cathryn stayed with Iris trying to help her as much as possible.
