It was bound and destined to happened. And tonight was the night that would very possibly go down in Dark Hunter history. The night that the boss not only didn't answer the phone but the night that he killed it. Dead. Wet. Soaking, short circuited, all but buried dead. Swimming with the fishies dead. One annoying, whining call too many. Thats all it took. The one that tipped the happy right out of the big guy. Splash was the last sound that piece of annoying electronics would ever make. No more buzzing, ringing, dinging, texting, whining, vibrating annoying life. It was dead. And he was free.
At least until Tory walked up and handed him her phone and smiled at him in a slightly evil way, " Its for you Baby. I think its one of your Hunters having a meltdown. You better take it." And she shoved the annoying little phone at him, and walked away, oblivious to the scowl that crossed his face as he took it, and answered, " This better be fucking important and you better be dying." And everything was back to normal, just like that. And the world started rotating on its axis again, and the grass resumed growing.

Acheron
Simi came to in so much pain. Screaming in agony, and crying for her Akri. She was being held down, and it sent her into a complete panic. Was she taken by Medea? Was she in Kalosis? Were they healing her so they could just torture her? Opening her eyes, she realized that it was her Akri holding her. He was extremely upset, yet eerily calm. He was the one healing her. How did she get to her Akri?
“Simi, lay still please. Let me do what I have to do. I should have been there. I am so sorry, I should have been there. Oh Gods, I almost lost you! *easing up on the pressure he had on her wound, he looks up at her, “Better yet, what the fuck were you doing there, and what the hell was going on down there Sim? I left Alexion in charge of you and your safety. Have you been running around ignoring him again?”
Feeling the warmth of Acheron’s healing touch, she pulls up the bottom of her corset and looks around at her abdomen, poking it with her finger to see if there are any holes. Giggling, once she realizes that she is once again ‘indestructible’ she proceeds to fill Ash in on the fight.
‘Akri, this bes a really long story, and well, all the Simi can say right now is that Urian was in big trouble, yous see he gots all crazy over that Allegra, and Bambi gots blowed up, and then we had to get Urian, and then we had to go save them Apolites, even though they didn’t want no saving, Akri Ias was there, and Akri Copy, and Akra Bethany. Oh and Brax made it in to New Orleans like yous ordered, and Simi dragged him along too. Simi did so good! Well, until that Medea did something in Sim’s head…”
Interrupting her rambling, Ash looked at her, exasperated. “Simi, We can talk details later, you need to get to the point. NOW! And I want you to tell me right now who I am going to kill for stabbing you. Who the fuck had a fucking Atlantean Dagger? I had the only remaining dagger.” * stopping in the middle of his rant to regain composure, he takes a few deep breaths. Noticing that Simi looked like she thought she was in trouble, he sat down next to her and pulled her into his arms. “Simikins, I’m not upset with you. You know how much you mean to me, therefore when something like this happens, it upsets me very deeply. I just need you to tell me who did this to you.”
Dreading the words that were about to come out of her mouth, she looked at the one person she loved more than anything in the world. “Akri, yous promise you won’t get all blue and scary? Well, you can’t get all blue. Cus…well, Akri Lex stabbed the Simi….
“Simi, lay still please. Let me do what I have to do. I should have been there. I am so sorry, I should have been there. Oh Gods, I almost lost you! *easing up on the pressure he had on her wound, he looks up at her, “Better yet, what the fuck were you doing there, and what the hell was going on down there Sim?

- Acheron Parthenopaeus
- Simi's words stabbed him as hard and deadly as if she had used the deadly dagger on him herself. " IAS!!!!!! " He roared! He could feel the fury coming over him, trying to take him, as his mind whirled with the knowledge that the very one entrusted to protect his Simi, had instead, tried to kill her! All that emerged as a rumble from his throat were the words, " He. Will. Pay."
- Xiamara Simi Parthenopaeus
- As those words fell out of her mouth she knew immediately that saying them out loud had been a huge mistake. Ash’s normally freaky silver, swirling eyes, went blood red. “Akri, Simi can explain…please don’t go all Papa Smurf on the Simi now. We gots to talk about this. Simi will tell yous everything.” But it was apparent there would be no talking to him at this point. Ash’s temper was something of legend. Very few had actually ‘seen’ him lose control, but those that had? It made a lasting impression, if they by chance survived. There were very few things on this earth that could affect him this way, and his Simi was at the top of the list. You hurt her, you die. End of story.
The temperature in the room dropped a few degrees as Ash’s skin tone started to take on another hue altogether. Crimson red eyes, along with swirling skin; he was definitely a force that none so far had reckoned with. * stepping away slowly, she looks around to make sure no one else was in the line of fire.
“Akri, come on now. Please get normal for the Simi. This is really unnecessary yous. If you would just listen…..” The wind picked up, which really shouldn’t have happened since they were, after all, standing inside her Akri’s throne room. Even as enraged as he was, in her eyes he was still a beautiful sight to behold. Red eyes, swirling skin and a mass of long ebony hair flying all around his head….. - Ias Alexion
- *after he had dropped calabrax off at the warehouse he had immediately flashed to katotaros to make sure that Simi was alright. His heart still hurt from what he had done but sadly it was what he had to do to insure the safety of everyone including her. But when he got there he sees Acheronin his blue form* great this is what i need to die today*
*as the alexion approached he noticed simi right beside him he let out a sigh of relief nothing had made him happier to her healed and able to move now there was the matter of dealing with acheron...* - Acheron Parthenopaeus
- Whirling around as he felt Ias enter, his hair and clothes blowing around him like a thousands winds were in the room where they stood. His vision saw one thing, and one thing only, the roar in his head deafening. " IAS!" He roared, and lifted his arm. Ias went flying back crashing into a wall of marble, chunks raining down around him. Acheron pinned him there by this neck, by an invisible force of fury, as Ias tried to speak, hell tried to breathe, as he was held above the cold hard floors. " Don't speak!" Ash growled out. He walked closer to Ias, never releasing him. His fangs grew, his color was darkening, swirling now. In almost full Apostolos form now, he was just barely hanging on to control. He didn't want control though. Not now. Not when who he had thought was a trusted friend and protector, had betrayed him. " You tried to kill my Simi." He roared. More pieces of marble fell, shattering on the hard floors. "For that you will die!!"
- Xiamara Simi Parthenopaeus Taking cover as her Akri almost loses complete control. Keyword being ‘almost’. If it got much worse, no one in the temple would survive. She watches Apostolos shatter the marble walls, with Ias’s body being used as the sledgehammer. Her heart dropped, when she realized he was using his powers to keep Ias immobile. Prime Pickings. Ias tried to speak, to at least explain the why of the entire ordeal, but Apostolos was having none of it. He was beyond reasoning with.
She stepped out from her place of hiding, calling out to him, “Akri! Akri!!!! Getting into his line of sight, hoping that may bring him back to himself, and to her. She hovers close enough to him, that she can scream and he might just hear her. “Akri! Ias saved everyone! He didn’t want to do it! That Medea had control of yous Simi and she tried to make Simi eat everyone!! Please,” * she starts crying really, really hard seeing the two men she loved the most do this. “If you kill him, once you find out the truth, you will never forgive yous self!” - Ias Alexion *before the alexion could speak he felt himself fly across the room slamming into marble wall his whole body aching from the pain of it he has not felt this much pain in years damn it all he says as he thinks to himself what the hell is he going to do now* he tries to speak but couldnt acheron had a grasp on him*
*acheron..he says as he gasps trying to speak but it proved useless at least he could see just as the thoughts came to his head of him dying for the third and final time. He watched simi come to his rescue that made him have hope if anyone could help him it was her - Acheron Parthenopaeus
- Slinging Ias across the room with the force of a tornado, he watched as the now limp body smashed into the wall, making a huge dent, then slipped slowly down to the floor, a darkening pool of blood spreading out from around his body. He was still breathing, but if Acheron had anything to do with that, it wouldn't be for much longer. " I said be quiet!" as he slung Ias across the room. Acheron felt, then heard something in the back of his mind, it was like an annoying fly buzzing around. He thought he heard... was that Simi? Trying to focus on the sound, he heard some of her words, but it was like the static of going thru a tunnel. But then he felt her sorrow, smelled her tears. As he started his stalk towards where Ias now laid,to finish what was started the smell of all the blood brought back the fury in him. But then that damn buzzing in his head was back. He threw back his head, clenching his fists now long with claws that dug into his palms, making them bleed, and roared so loudly his throne was shattered by the sound. " SIMI!!!" He fell to his knees, cradling his head in his hands, as he shook all over, his body changing back from blue to normal, back and forth as if a battle was warring within his body. "Oh gods the pain! Make it stop!! He raised his head, and saw his Simi. His baby girl. And she was crying. And yelling at him. Saying something. What was she saying? She was begging him not to kill Ias..... not to regret it. Why would he not regret destroying the one that tried to destroy a part of him? He looked into her eyes, and he was once more Acheron. He opened his arms wide, and spoke softly to her. " Simi, come to me."
- Xiamara Simi Parthenopaeus
- Seeing Apostolos stalking toward the bloody heap on the floor that was Ias, she screamed and cried even harder, trying anything to bring her Akri back to her. Her job for thousands of years had been to protect him, even if it was from himself. If she couldn’t bring him back from this, everyone would suffer the price of something that was brought on by simply trying to save Urian. No one ever expected that simply saving her cousin would come down to an all out war.
Hovering as closely as she dared, she allowed her pain and her anguish to bleed out to him. She knew eventually he would sense her. They were just that connected. “Akri, please come back to the Simi, I need you so much, please. Akri, Simi love yous.” Apparently he had finally heard her cries, felt her pain, and was now crumbling form the onslaught of her emotions. As Ash screamed out her name, and then called out to her softly. He was back, she saw his arms open up, and it was just for her.
Flying as fast as she could she slammed into his arms, wrapping around him as tightly as she possibly could before she completely broke down. - Ias Alexion
- *as alexion tried to speak again acheron threw him to the otherside of the room smashing into the wall he lets a out a cry of pain as he slides down the wall he could not see anymore everything was black the only thing he could do was listen to what was going on around him. He could hear simi screaming at acheron to stop but it did not sound like that was going to happen anytime soon he could hear him inch closer and closer to alexion and there was nothing he could do about it now.*
*the alexion laid in his own pool of blood helpless his life was flashing before him even the times before he became a dark hunter his ex wife his children he thought were once his then he remembered the times he had here with simi,acheron, urian....danger he will always remember them he loved them all no matter what this was his own doing and he accepts that. A smile sweeps his face as he slowly drifts off into darkness* - Styx Anaxkolasi Didymos
- Styxx got an unnerving sensation suddenly. Even after all these centuries, he could still feel when something was wrong with Ash, and right now every sense in his body told him that his brother was in trouble. He could hear the commotion from Ash's temple all the way in his. Going to his brother's temple to check things out, all he saw was a giant blue - something, that Simi was cradling. Styxx shuddered. He had never seen his brother's true form, and he never hoped to again. Then his eyes cut to Lex, lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood. It was clear that the Shade was dying, if Shades could die for that matter. Styxx wasn't sure, but whatever it was, it was clear that Lex was in a lot of pain. Cutting his eyes towards Simi, it appeared she had the situation with Ash under control. Styxx went over to Lex and knelt down beside him. "Lex?" he asked, feeling for a pulse. He could feel a faint one. "Stay with me Lex." he said, then turned to Ash and Simi. "What the hell happened?"
- Acheron Parthenopaeus
- He felt her slam into him, her arms wrapping around him so tight he could barely breath. " Simi?" Her sobs soaked his shoulder and trailed down his chest. " I'm so sorry Simi. I just want to protect you. He hurt you. Thats all I heard. I saw the blood. The wound. I'll make this all right again." Standing up slowly, he unwrapped Simi from him, and walked over to where Ias was laying, and his brother Styxx had appeared and was crouched down next to Ias's still lifeless, bloodied body. " Move." He said to Styxx. " I need to heal him. And if I don't like his explanation of what happened, I'll kill him again." Crouching down next to Styxx, he reached out and laid his hand on Ias. Ias's body jerked, then shuddered, and bolted upright, a huge gasp of inhaled air pulling into his lungs as his body came back to life.
- Styx Anaxkolasi Didymos
- Styxx shook his head as he moved out of his brother's way. Sometimes his brother let his emotions get the better of him, he always acted before he thought, even as children. It was one of his brother's worst traits, Styxx had to admit. But he was the same way and had always let his emotions get the better of him, until assholes had hardened him to the point where he no longer gave a shit. He frowned as Ash brought Lex back to life. "Ash, maybe you should let them both explain before you kill him again." Styxx said quietly. As children, Styxx had always been able to control his brother's anger, calm him down when he was angry, and vice versa, but now, after seeing Ash's true form, Styxx wasn't sure he was capable of doing that anymore. Ash would kill anyone who pissed him off or hurt his daughter, or his wife and children, and right now, Styxx wasn't sure he was in the safe category. Ash still had some pent up anger at him and he could kill him in the blink of an eye. Even though they were bound together, if Styxx died, Ash did, etc, Ash just might be miserable enough with his existence to do it. "I saw the battle, brother, the parts I didn't black out during. Simi was turned, she was sent after us to eat us. Lex did the only thing he knew would stop her."
- Acheron Parthenopaeus
- Flashing a look over at Styxx then back to the bloodied body of his Alexion who he now wondered was his friend or foe., He snatched Ias by the neck, pulling him close, face to face, eye to eye, and snarled low. "Talk. And talk like your very life depends on it. Because your life DOES depend on you convincing me what you did was the only option you had. And you did it to save my Simi." The red flashed in the swirling silver of those maddened eyes, as Acheron waited to find out whether Ias would live, or finally die at his hands this day.
- Ias Alexion
- *he finally feels life again until acheron grabs him by the throat telling him to answer for what he did. Alexion tried to choke out his answer* i took the dagger with me because i did not know what Strykerius was going to be putting on the battle field i took it for safe measures to insure simi was going to be safe she had flashed in front of me and attacked Medea while i was caught in one of her weapons by the time i got rid of the damn thing medea had done something to her almost like taking over her mind she could not control her own body every command she said simi did if i didnt stab her who knows what they would of made her do! We both have done things we regret to this day. Do you really want her to feel the pain of killing people she cared about? Or them making her kill her self I've been dead twice acheron its not fun and i sure as hell do not want that happening to her.
For the safety of everyone including her own i had to stab her. she didnt listen to any of my commands believe me i tried i even made sure to do it where i knew she would not die hence me calling you as soon as i possibly could - Acheron Parthenopaeus
- Conflicting emotions raced thru Acherons mind, trying to make sense of all that had happened. His Simi was almost killed at the hands of his friend and her protector. What all had transpired while he was gone? Acheron had many more questions but for now, all he wanted was to know, once and for all, that the man in front of him, his loyal friend for many thousands of years, had not betrayed him. Looking over to where Simi stood, watching with those huge saucers of brilliant tear filled eyes, he ask her softly, yet never releasing his grip on Ias's battered neck. " Simi? Does he speak the truth? "
- Xiamara Simi Parthenopaeus
- * As Acheron set her down to approach the Ias, she had her fingers crossed that he was going to bring him back. If she lost him due to any of this, not only would she never forgive herself, Ash would never forgive himself once he found out what had transpired down there. Akri Copy Styx stood by, still. He had come in when he heard the commotion all the way to his temple. He looked a bit shocked by everything he had to take in, but he still managed to get the words out that she had been turned. The first thought that came to her mind was that Akri was going to think she had been bad and ignored his rules. She could see that he was still battling with himself and Apostolos. All she could do was hope that what came out of Ias's mouth was what she remembered. If there was more, she didn't know what she was going to do. She's had a hard enough time already containing Apostolos once today.
Running over to Ias, alongside her Akri, she watched as Ash brought him back. She was so happy to see him back. Emotion flooded her being once again. He asked Ias what had happened, and Ias answered. “She was controlled, I had no choice.”
Once those words came out her Akri looked at her, " Simi? Does he speak the truth? " *Looking down to hide her shame for being so weak as to allow someone to use her as a weapon against the ones she loved, she whispered” Yes Akri. Akri Lex speaks the truth. Everything was fine until I cracked that Medea in the jaw. After that everything..” * trailing her words off, and dropping to her knees, “Simi is so sorry she let yous down. Simi will take whatever punishment yous see fit.”
Acheron Parthenopaeus- Reaching over with one arm he pulled Simi close, and released his hold on Ias, then closed his arms around his little demon. Wrapping his arms around her small body,he softly kissed the top of her head, as all his rage left him. *Shhhh, you didn't do anything wrong Simikins. Its all ok now." Turning back to Ias, he spoke quietly but with sincerity, " Thankyou Aribos, I owe you." Looking at his brother, his eyes a clear swirling silver now, no traces of the god Apostolos remaining, he said, " Take him to his quarters, and make sure he rests. I will be back soon." And with that, he vanished with his Simi.
- Styx Anaxkolasi Didymos
- Styxx nodded at his brother and moved to help Lex back to his temple. "Come on, I'll help you." he said, putting an arm around the shade. He helped Lex to his temple and helped to get him settled. "Remind me not to piss my brother off anytime soon." he said, a slight grin crossing his face. He couldn't begin to count the times he had pissed off Ash before, but that wsa before he had come into his full godhod. And now that Styxx was a Cthonian, with his own powers, he still wasn't sure they could rival his brothers.

Liza Dunnigan
There! The last tiny detail is on the final teddy bear. A project I have been working on for a time now is complete. I wait for my guests to arrive and put on a spot of tea. Getting out the three tier chocolate cake I made and the two family size bags of cookies, I set them on the table. I am proud of my project, one hundred teddy bears and one hundred small dolls made in honor of my iminent guests.
The tea kettle sounds off a shrill whistle as there is a knock on myback door. She is getting much better at this. I look through the curtains on the glass and smile warmly. It's a beautiful evening outside and the fireflies are just starting to come out making it a lovely show around my enthralled but jovial guests. I open the door wide with warm greetings.
"Hello Simi Charonte, hello Nim, please come inside for some tea.

It's a beautiful evening outside and the fireflies are just starting to come out making it a lovely show around my enthralled but jovial guests. I open the door wide with warm greetings.
"Hello Simi Charonte, hello Nim, please come inside for some tea.
Simi Charonte- Today's the simi had great plans, the plans was this... the simi would takes her bestie demon friend Nim to visits Liza, the simi liked Liza. She always mades the simi tea and let's the simi eats all the greats cakes, Nim nim would likes Liza the simi was sures of it.
Simi flashed Nims and herselfs outside Liza's doll shop, the funs old human lady mades the simi and Marissa lots of great toys to play with. The simi always hads a great time when she and Arki cames to visits this little Nola store, she turns and looks at her friend Nim who was clutching his teddy scare very tightlys.
"Don't you worry Nim nim, Liza is a good quality people's." she saids with a grins as she knocks on the door of the shop, "you don't have to be afraid" the simi reached out and tooks Nim nims hand in hers. As her ears perked up hearing foot steps leading to the door, a bright smile was on the simi's face when she gots to see Liza, "Hello hello Liza!" reaching out simi pulled the olds human in a hugs. The simi said olds but the simi was alots older then Liza, so simi wouldn't say she was really olds. She was a youngs old human, that's right. Giving the human a tights squeeze, the simi didn't wants to breaks her. Them humanys really brokes to easily, wait! Did the simi just hear Liza say there was tea!? Oooo the simi couldn't waits.
The simi turns back to looks at Nim who was looking at Liza funny, silly demon Liza wouldn't hurts him. Her dolls would hurts him if anythings, them dolls had great screct weapons insides them. "Liza, this is the simi's greats friend Nim nim. Nims, this is the lovely Liza. And the Simi is mes, or is that I's?" Neverminds.
Greats now that everybody knew who's they were it was time for the simi to eats some of that sweet grumbs she spyed on table. Licking her lips simi made it's straight for the chocolate cakes, then she swirled it all downs with some nice hots tea. "That was cakes was yummy Liza!" She said as she poured her BBQ sauce all over the tasty biscuits, listen to the simi now. Because the simi is always rights and not wrongs, or was the simi is always wrongs and never rights? Pfft of course not, the simi was know fools demon. Rights what the simi was getting to was, everything tastes better with BBQ sauce.
The simi's light eyes looked up and seeing a big box it's got the simi curious? What was insides that box? And could the simi eats it?
Nim Leimaxion \- The Nims was reading hims Manga's just minding hims own business, whatever thats be, when hims bestest demon friend in the whole wide circles of hell flashed in, grabbed the Nims hand, said somethings about goings to eat dolls and thats all the Nims remembered until he stood on the porch of a house. That house sure smelled funny to the Nims but Simi said it was okays and Nims would likes it here. Before Nims could ask anymores the door opened and then Simi was grabbing and hugging the human lady. They sorta squeezed each others tight and the Nims thoughts that sure looked uncomfortable and he wasn't going to let anybody squeeze hims so he sorta took a step back. The lady smiled at Nim and then hims Simi dragged him inside where the smell of food wafted in the air and right to hims nose. Nims stomach growled and before he knew what was happening again, the Simi had him at the table with all sorts of chocolate and tea. Nims pulled out hims ketchup and poured it all over some cake and shoved it in his mouth. Nodding his approval at Simi he grabbed some of the hot tea. " Owie!" He blinked and gulped. " Thats hot! You shoulds tell the Nims before yous let hims drink hots stuff!" Looking around the place wide eyed while he and Simi ate, he saw all sorts of dolls. What exactly was this place hims bestest demon friend brought hims too?
- Liza Dunnigan
- Accepting and enjoying the gracious hug from Simi, I smile as she tears into the cake and cookies. Nim is so much like Simi it's uncanny. His exception and Nim-ism isn't BBQ sauce, it is just as odd, but very Charonte. He prefers Ketchup. I watch them devour the goodies with enthusiasm and it warms my heart. There is nothing like someone enjoying the goodies you have made even if the toppings don't agree with you.
After devouring the goodies, I walk over to the boxes and grab a teddy bear and hand it to Nim and a doll and hand it to Simi. Hoping they enjoy them, I pull the curtain back to the adjoining room to show three more boxes of each. I wanted to send my own creations to the Childrens Universtiy Hospital here in New Orleans. They aare such a great organization and help children who can't afford medical treatment on a daily basis. Organizations like that deserve only the best from those that appreciate the notion.
"How do you like your look alike dolls? I ask the both of t
Simi Charonte- The simi shooks her head at Nims when he spokes about the hot tea, "The Simi is having her good eats Nims, you knows the Simi would forgets to tell yous that's when there so much to munch ons" tea was better hots anyways. But Ooo the teas woulds taste goods with cream! The simi piled the cream on Nims cup thens her own, see the simi was not being selfish. Shd coulds let's her friend goes first, but Nims was slows.
The simi had already dranks her third cups of tea downs before Nims had even had a sips of his. He was eyeing the tea with a grudge nows, after it hads burnts his tongue. "It's goods Nim Nim" but the Nims didn't looks to sure as he leaned down close to investigates the contents inside.
The Simi turned to watch Liza walks over to the boxs, ooo woulds there be mores cakes? Or biscuitys? Them boxs didn't smells likes treats, and then Liza pulls out a cutsie teddy bear and hands it too Nims who frowns first before he grinned. showing the simi his fangys.
Simi squealed likes a banshee when Liza then pulls out a doll for the simi, but see this doll was very specials. Nims had jumps up off his seat hearing the simi outburst, but the simi could nots contain her joys. Because the doll in the simi's hand looked just like the simi!, the Simi hads her owns Simi copy nows. Just likes her Akri hads hims a copy called Arki Styx, how lucky was the simi! Very lucky indeeds. "Look Nims the Simi is a dolls, well the simi is a demon nots a dolls. But the simi has a simi dolls see?" The simi said holding ups the beautiful dolly to shows her friend.
Liza slowly walked to the closed off rooms then pulled the curtains backs to reveal three more boxs, wows that was alot of Simi's dolls out there's. The simi grinned at the old lady, the simi was very prouds to owns this dolls. Shs woulds keeps it safes, high ups on the shelfs in her fabulous simi bedroom where the simi would keeps all her greats QVC sparklies until the simi was ready to either wears them around her prettiful hornies or eats them. Kichka her kitty cat would nots beable to scratch her dolls in there's, the simi would make sures of it.
*How do you like your look alike dolls?* The Simi hads been so excited she hads almost forgots to say thank yous to the greats old Liza, Simi walked the Simi doll on the tables, and by mistakes the simi hits a smalls switch at the backs of the simi doll and now the simi doll had wingys too! Squealing happily again the simi pulled Liza intos another hugs, "Thank yous Liza! Yous made the simi beautifuls!" The simi said as she stroked the soft wings of her news favourite dolly! Xirena woulds be so jealous! - Nim Leimaxion
- The Nims wasn't too sure he could ever trust tea again if it was going to bite him everytime he tried to eats it so he sat the cup down on the table and looked at all the chocalates and goodies. When hims heard hims name called softly hims turned around real fast to find that lady standing in front of him with a Teddy Bear. Nims took a step back but ran into that table and frowned. Then she poked it at him again. So Nims took it. Hims wasn't too sure what to makes of it though. It wasn't hims Bun Bun. And its wasn't hims Bear Scare. Hims two most favorite friends in the whole world. But when he took it and felt how soft that bear was, well, hims just pulled that bear into hims chest and held it tight, then looked up at that lady, and smiled. A real fangy full smile. The Nims forgots hims not supposed to show hims fangs to the humans cause they gets all freaked outs and stuffs but him couldn't helps himself. " Thankyou" , he said shyly.
Then Nims almost jumps to the ceiling when the Simi squealed! Before hims could run, the Simi held out a beauiful small Simi. Nims narrowed hims eyes and looks closer. Before hims could decide on whats it was, the Simi squealed about it beings a Simi doll! Then Simi wings popped outs. Simi jumped around the room and made lots of noise and hugged that lady and twirled and stuff. It even made the Nims smile again. With fangs. Twice in one day. - Liza Dunnigan
- The smiles I am given make every second of work worth my time. I know the children will enjoy them because of this. Simi is so childlike in her own way that it is almost a reflection of the children's reactions from the hospital. I know that Ash frequents the childrens ward in some of the hospitals and it has touched my heart so much that I want to contribute myself. Looking at the boxes of dolls and bears and the smiles on the faces of my guests makes my heart clinch. My spirit goes out to each child regardless of the depth of their conditions. It is very scary to be in a hospital with so much going on. It is only a small token but it is the most I can do. Next time I will go for more elaborate.
"Simi? Do you know how you will get the boxes to the hospital or should I call someone for you?" I ask her after her squealing attack is finished. I love that she loves her dolls. Nim is quite the character himself. He seemed quite frightened at first but I think he is warming up quite well to me.
Pouring myself a spot of tea I take a seat at the small round table and take a single tea cake for myself. I don't need much and these hips surely need less than that. I sit and watch them play with their dolls. Nim seems very fond of his and brought out a second bear to play with. This makes me happy. If I had my own grandchildren this is what I think it would feel like watching them play in the back of my store while they ate cookies and drank milk. I have often wondered what having my own would be like but life as a squire took up too much of my time. I do not regret that part of my life. It was rewarding and fulfilling and what most people could only wish they had in their lives. LIFE IS GRAND.
Tory and Ash
Tory glanced at her watch and chewed her bottom lip for what seemed like the 2026 time in the last... how long had it been she’d been waiting for her obviously late husband...... 20 minutes? Geez, what was a few minutes to a god that timed things in thousands of years anyway.
They were supposed to meet with Mrs Wilson, Bas’s teacher. Now this didn’t bode well. Usually if Bas did something exceptional well during the year, he would come home with a certificate of achievement and gold stars or something less omniness. Being called into a “ meeting” with his teacher never boded well. She had fought too hard to get Ash to go along with the idea of Bas being in a private school and not homeschooled. And this was just what he was worried about happening. Oh please god...... don’t make it be something totally unbelieveble. Or better yet..... maybe that could work in her favor.
She was running all the possible senarios thru her mind that it could be about..... Bas materilizing an elephant in the classroom? Or his latest fasination of cowboys and indians? Horses in the classroom could make such a mess ad she wasn’t about to clean it up! Or perhaps he got excited and levitated or god forbid..... dissappeared! Oh good grief! She was literally almost spinning in circles now. Looking at her watch for the 2027th time she dialed his phone again. “ Achimou? Where are you?
Ash appeared in the male bathroom. He was late and Troy would not be happy. He had been helping Sin deal with a nest of gallu but turth he could handle that better than this.
Ash sighed as he stepped into the hallway. He had not wanted his son to go to human school to start with but he wanted Troy happy so he agreed. He just hoped it was something he could handle easy.
Ash spotted Troy outside a classroom. He walked up to her and kisses her with passion. "Sorry I'm late, Sota. I had to handle a issue. What going on?"
As Tory paced in circles and almost made herself dizzy, Ash finally appeared in the hall and walked with long strides to her side. Kissing her first, he apologized and ask what this was all about. " Apparently our son has done something to make his teacher request a meeting. I have no idea what its about. I'm just hoping its not going to require counseling for the classroom. Come on.... lets get this over with." Reaching out she took his hand, took a deep breath, and opened the classroom door.
Ash took her offered hand as they entered the classroom. Ash looked around at the boards and desks in the room. He knew whay they were and his son had told him what was taught but still Ash wasn't sure about all. He never attended one and truth was for many of his human years he was untaught and then only his sister had helped but he let those memories pass. Things were different now. He had love and family. His brother and him had begun to heal and move pass the pain. He was not broken anymore.
He watched the darkhaired woman come over and introduce herself as Bas teacher.
Tory could feel the tension in Ash. When he walked in, the room appeared to shrink. As Mrs. Wilson looked up and saw them enter, she smiled and got up from her desk where it appeared she had been going over some papers, and walked over and introduced herself. " Mr and Mrs Parthenopaeus? So nice to see you again. I only wish it was under better circumstances but maybe we can get to the bottom of this. Please... have a seat. She motioned to the desks that were so small there was no chance of either of them fitting in, so Tory and Ash just stayed standing. " Please, Mrs Wilson, what is this about?" Tory asked. Mrs Wilson walked back over to her desk and picked up a book and handed it to them. " We were reading about Dinosaurs today in class. Bas raised his hand and said, " This is just like the pets my daddy has. He feeds them guitar picks. They live at our big temple home in Katoteros!" Well... suffice to say, your boy obviously has a big imagination. When I ask him if they were his imaginary pets, he insisted that they were real, and suddently, out of nowhere, one appeared, flying around the room, diving and screaming, terrifying the children. Then it dissappeared. Now Mrs Parthenopaeus, I know thats not possible!
Acheron watched as Troy's face became horrified and Ash knew he had to get a grip on on this. He took Troy hand and lightly sqeezed it. He would take the teacher's memories if need be but he would try to handle it the easier way sence he really di dnt like messing with ones mind. "As you said Mrs.Wilson our son has a big imagination. You are my wife is an archaeologist and both our boys like to play that they are so we brought them things of old, like dinosaurs old play dishes paper scolls and the like. At times our boys like to think them real, I even brought the some maniac toys for Christmas. I think Bas must have brought one to school. He's also a good magician." Ash waited and smiled when the teacher nodded. "Ofcause, that would make since. But still I can't have the children being hurt so we need to address this." Ash nodded to Troy. "Yes we agree."
"Mrs Wilson?" Tory spoke softly almost like she was speaking to a spooked animal. " You said yourself that what you thought you saw wasn't possible, now didn't you? Of course it wasn't. Dinosaurs no longer exist and certainly not a real live one flying around a classroom. Now as my husband has said, Bas does have a great imagination, and his uncle has taught him some simple magic tricks so perhaps thats what you saw? Being a teacher myself I understand thr stress of this time of the year, and maybe you just need a couple weeks off. We will certainly have a very serious talk with our son, and you won't have to worry about something like this ever happening again. Whatever it was that happened." Backing slowly towards the door, she pulled Ash along with her, watching Mrs Wilson for any signs of loosing it completely. Obviously the woman was having a bad week. And the poor woman never knew exactly how bad it was going to get until today. " Thankyou so much for telling us this, and we wil take care of all this immediately. We will speak to Bas about using his magic in the classroom without asking first. I'm sure he was just excited. He loves Dinasaurs and old things so much. I believe he's going to grow up to someday be just like me. A lover of all things old." At that she glanced at Ash and grinned. " Come on baby.... we need to get home. You know that babysitter charges double if we're late!" Smiling at Mrs Wilson, who was looking a bit pale and shellshocked, she pulled Ash out of the classroom as fast as she could. " Whew... that was close! We need to get home and have a talk with our budding magician! She laughed at that explanation of Ash's. " Good save Achimou. Now lets get home.
