I slam the door shut and seal it with the essence of all that is good hoping aiden was ready to do his part to set things right in this world

*Dalia seems stunned for a moment as if waking from a spell, then as her senses returned she dashed towards a bookcase across the room. by some means unseen to him she manages to cause the heavy piece to slide away revealing a secret passage. Even before Aiden has made it halfway towards the new passage he can hear the sound of fleeting footsteps fading as they descend down a set of stone stairs.

*As he reaches the bookcase himself, Aiden can see stairs leading both ways. For a moment he is considers chasing after the girl, but knowing his friends might be in danger, He rushes up the dark stairway till he comes to a shimmering doorway. Beyond it he can see Damian and Damoran fighting, so he steps through. Doing so gives him a creepy feeling that runs down his spine.

*Though the fight is nearly over it seems that he is just in time to play his part. So with a practiced hand, Aiden extends his hand to becon the talisman to him that hangs around Damorins neck

seeing the talisman move on his brother's neck, Da'mian slams a punch through the bars just as Da'moran realizes that his powers were about to be taken from him. he slides to the floor of the cage defeated the fire in his eyes going out, he looks up at his brother and asks..
"WHY BROTHER, WHY DID YOU BETRY ME IN OUR PLANS TO TAKE OVER.???"
Da'mian looks down with sadness in his eyes and replied.
" because I'm not as evil as you brother, I seen what was in-store for everyone if I let your plan go through, you and your co-hoard Zorr the emperor, look where it got him, and now you..."
and with that Da'mian sealed the cage and with a powerful spell sent him back to a real where he belonged, the devil's domain..
turning he says to his friends .
" well that's done finally, lets get the crystals and repair this place and go home.."
turning as he felt til he felt the power of the crystals, hidden nearby in the castle..
"this way then we go home..

* folowing you i sense the crystals power filling the area *

Sounds like a decent plan to me

*Aiden says as he pockets the talisman

But there are a few things we need to do first. One I wouldn't mind being visable again, and two that fem you called Dalia fled down a hidden passageway

releasing Aiden from the spell of invisibility, and the news that Dalila had escaped upset Da'mian terribly, he knew how dangerious she was and hoped that she wouldn't release his brother after bannishing him to a devil's domain..

" we need to find her a quickly as possable, she might be able to reverse the spell I put on my brother's cage, but first we 're close to the crystal and they will block her from her task and as a bonus it will send her to him, where thay will be together for a very long time..."
Da'mian laughs as he goes looking for the crystals ..

I'm not sure she'll want to help him, seemed more scared then anything after coming out of that state she was in.

*Aiden rubs his hands as he becomes visable again

It was almost as if she had awoken from an enchantment

" then if that's the case and she's been under his spell all this time and was just released then we really do have to find her as quickly as possible..
Da'mian says as he punches a wall reviling a wooden box, that when opined reviled the two crystals they were looking for..he takes the velvet bag out of the box and hands them to Aiden..

"here my friend would you mind holding these til we get to the place where supposed to reasemeble the staff to go home once we find Dalila, and put the "Dragons Eyes" back where they belong. hopefully the two sets will rejoin when we put then in the right place fixing the shifts in our worlds.. I can't wait to get back to the tavern /inn and get a hot bath and some of Wisperia's good hot meal."
Da'mian says as he smacks his lips at the thought of her good cooking..
" I wonder how long we've been gone anyway??" he ponders..

*Aiden nods

It is quite possible. Free to think for herself she may not realize what fate she carved for herself while under his control. whatever the reason for her turning tale we must find her.

*Aiden takes the stones and pockets them

Could be mere moments or a long eternity. no telling how time flows in other realms. It is not always constant you know.

Still it would be nice to return to the old haunts when this is done

" yes i am all for getting back to where we came from "

*Aiden looks at Diesel a moment before he speaks

Then I shall miss you.

I had hoped to see you around Redwolfs, but if you must return home...

" I shall come and visit you at the tavern, im sure much has changed since we have been here, still it be nice to se all my old friends again "

* i put my lightsword in its holstir and follow aiden and da'main *

" well then let's get going, and find Dalila and get these stones put into their rightful place and see what happens next.."

Da'mian says as he heads for the door..(trying not to think of his friend going home after this)..

* I follow you and sniff the air *

" I will stay with you i think even when we finish this, assuming that we all end up in the same area when we go back home "

Well then, I guess we capture fair maiden and return the treasure.

Once that's done the chips can fall as they may.

*Aiden heads towards the mirror

Come, It's quicker to go this way.
