This follows on two years from The Wrathe of Tia

[kiarawoolfe]

Tia saw the shade and hesetated.
She wheeled around and raced toward the camp. She located the mask with her mind, trying to find it by the enchantment. "There." She whispered.
On her way she ran into Fae.
****
Fae looked up. "Tia!"
"Theres a shade out there, I have to get Jaygon's mask or he'll die!" The olive-skinned elf yelled over her shoulder.
Fae's eyes widened and she redoubled her speed, racing the clock, to get to the shade.
She burst into the northern part of the camp.
Crouching, she held her hands as though she were praying. The grey didits of her fingers froze, and the frost covered her hands.
She aimed, and... shot the ice at the shade. Sending frosty missile after missile, she edged ever closer.

Gidion saw the misssiles of ice fly over his head and the distracted the shade. Nows the time to strike he brought up his sheald and sword and walked ever so closer as the missiles flew over when he got close enough he brought up his sword and swung it down in a wild arch aming to wound the shade in just a flash the shade blocked his attack and started to counter attack Gidion blocked and backed away reading the shade searching for that littel opining that would allow Gidion to strike.

Fae turned and ran to Jaygon, "Tia will have your mask soon Ebrithil." She leaped towards the shade, materealizing an ice dagger as she went. Slashing and dodging, she helped Gideon subdue the dangerous Spirits.
****
Tia found the mask and raced back to the battle. She fumbled with the straps on her pouch, but managed to find a few mint leaves that would ease the pain.
"Here, eat these." She passed Jaygon the leaves and the mask. "You're not allowed to die! Here me?"

[Jay]

"I hear," Jaygon said eating the mint leaves and putting on his mask. A new surge of energy and life seemed to come over him. His coughing ceased along with the blood that had been pouring out of his mouth. "Now for the Shade," Jaygon said starting to get up. "May I ask for some room please? Fighting a Shade is not easy and I would prefer no one to be in the crossfire."

[kiarawoolfe]

Tia nodded and got out of the way, unsheathing her swords.

[hagvar]

Gidion herd jaygons voice and then him telling him to move away so gidion bobbed and waved to get the shade in a good position when he found the right time he tropes the shade and backed away he's all yours he said to jaygon panting

Dana heard jaygon and told du vangar gata to focus there energyon jaygon now. "keep alert for the worriers we may need to help them out with them too" she said.

[kiarawoolfe]

Fae turned, skipped to the side, and sent an icicle at the shade. The icy missile went straight through his neck.
The shade just laughed and sent a bolt of black energy at Fae.
*****
Draiam crash-tackled Fae, knocking her out of the spell's way. "Carefull, there aren't many druids left, we wouldn't want to lose one!"
They smiled and got out of Jaygon's way.

[Jay]

Jaygon stood slowly to his feet and pointed at the Shade, "You have caused much pain and now you shall feel the same!" Jaygon stepped forward dark tendrils extended from his shadow and wrapped themselves around the Shade's limbs. The Shade laughed and used magic to break one of the tendrils. A more tendrils shot out of the ground and anchored him there. The Shade hissed breaking more which were immediately replaced by even more. Fear showed in the Shade's eyes as he kept trying to use magic to break free only to be trapped again by stronger tendrils. Jaygon picked up his dual bladed weapon, "Istalrí du Islingr." Jaygon's blade erupted into flame one side a hot white fire, the other covered in intense black flames. "Now you die!" Jaygon spread his wings and flew fast at the Shade piercing it through the heart. The Shade screamed and Jaygon removed his blade from the Shade's chest. The body of the Shade became as ash blowing away in the wind, while the spirits that had been trapped inside flew away as fast as they could.

[kiarawoolfe]

"Bloody hell!" Fae whispered to herself.
Tia sat down and stared at where the shade had been. "What was THAT!?"

[Jay]

Jaygon stutter stepped for a second feeling the energy from the spell leave him. Turma caught him with her tail and helped him stand again. "Thank you Turma," Turma nodded trying to hide her worry for him. "To answer your question that was a Shade's worst nightmare. A spell designed to strip it of its power. The more it uses magic the stronger the seal becomes until the Shade runs out of energy or is too restrained to try and block a direct attack at its heart. This spell, however, is very draining as I have not perfected it yet," Jaygon took off his mask, "and if it had not been for this mask which enchantments keep an old injury at bay, I'm afraid that you all would have had quite the fight."

[kiarawoolfe]

Draiam, Fae and Tia all just stared. Dumbstruck.
Aela sniffed at the pile of ashes. How strange, that so much life could be destroyed without a moment's notice... She said, almost without feeling.

[Jay]

"My energy is almost depleted to the point where I won't remain conscious. Fae, I am making you my replacement on Nasuada's secret guard make sure she is safe. Now if you will all excuse me I need a long rest, if you have any questions feel free to come and find me," Jaygon said wearily. Turma supported Jaygon as they walked off the former battle field back towards the camp. Jaygon released the seal that held the people that couldn't fight safe so that they could also go back to their business. "Today has been a very long day," he said to himself.

[kiarawoolfe]

Fae stood there, staring blankkly after Jaygon. "Did he just... Am I?"
*****
"I think so." Tia said.
"Okay... Who wants lunch?" Everyone stared at Draiam.

[hagvar]

"I would love lunch but where did that come from you just got done destroying a small army with a shade and you whant to eat that's a bit disturbing" Gidion said with a chuckle. "Let's get back to camp I belive I'll take first shift so youes can rest a littel while" Gidion said.

[kiarawoolfe]

"Thanks." Tia and Fae walked away.
Draiam stood their with a confused expression.
"Yeah, he is desturbing." Fae said over her shoulder.
Draiam frowned and punched her lightly on the shoulder.
