[Tacitus]

*The "militia" the elf had hit with his arrows turns slowly and stares at the elf with deep red glowing eyes. The "militia" seems to fly into a berserk rage, heading straight for the Elf. As the "militia" draws near he is thrown back by a field of force generated from the field of pure life force.*

*On the island May has disappeared, no where to be seen, the images show a very different tale.*

~~Image~~

*May stands in whjat seems to be a funhouse, mirror-like walls everywhere. Images of Torture and suffering fill the windows. Down a long corridor of these mirrow-windows, she sees what she had been searching for, a window leading to a torture chamber, a torture chamber containing Trias's soul and her son, Castus. She rushes to the window, but cannot pierce through. Castus and Trias on the other side, cannot see her. May draws out the Foolsmiter and smashes the window several times, but to no avail. She is forced to watch helplessly as her loved ones are tortured. She falls to the "ground" and begins to weep. Her hair falls all around her face, creating a sanctuary of sorts. Her tears stream down her face and roll off onto her armor, some falling upon her Gem. Trias looks up in the window of torture, he knows she is their, but cannot see or hear her. The window changes, the great hot pokers disappear and four great clamps come down and latch onto the wings of Trias and Castus, corporeal or not. May cannot bear to watch, and she turns away. She sits for several minutes, crying, anguish and anger washing over her, she can almost feel Trias's pain, in fact, she can. Her Gem is now glowing brightly and with each click of the machine, she can feel the pain in her own wings. She looks up, pain contorting Trias's face, Castus endures. She picks the Foolsmiter back up, hair flying wildly behind her, and shatters the window before her. In an instant the torturous images fade away, Castus and the spectral Trias fall to the ground. Castus speaks up*

Castus (breathing heavily): Why'd,..you ...stop it?... I was... having fun.

May: Castus, you have no idea how it soothes my heart to see you once again.

Castus: Well, that doesn't help the searing pain in my wings.

May: Whatever, we must get back, my allies are in grave danger, both of you, c'mon! *leaves for the window from whence she came*

Castus: both...? *follows*

*During this time Trias's Soul had returned to May's Gem*
