Skye Prower

"You mean this mission doesn't count as one," asked Miles half-sarcastically. ---------- "A Chaos... Okay, got it," said Ziona opening the case.

"Well it has to got towards something!" laughed Miles. ---------- "Almost. Just trying to work out which gem it actually is.... And miss Ziona will be fine thank you," said Ziona smiling at Berry

Skye gave a start when Tikal put her hand on his arm. "I.." he began the stopped. --------- "If you insist Daddy," said Anna, suddenly spinning round and hugging him tightly. "I always like spending time with my Daddy," she continued in a childlike tone. -------- "I would hope so, not the kind of thing you'd want to carry around," smiled Miles. --------- Ziona raised an eyebrow at Berry. "Good to see you free. But please don't call me 'Madam Ziona'! Makes me sound like a carnival fortune teller!"

You caught me just before I headed off to dinner What about you Eliza?

"A one use get out of jail free card?" joked Miles. -------------- "On it. Good luck with Lucille!" Ziona called back.

"I assume you're being well payed?" asked Miles ---------- Ziona kicked open the side door, headed along the corridor, before moving though another door. If she was right, she was now ahead of where Larry or whoever he was would be.

"I dunno. Some wizards can do nasty things that would still leave you 'intact'," said Miles. ------------ "The guards are running, let's help Kayl," called Ziona. Recalling the mansion plan that Kayl had shown, Ziona was sure she could find a way to double round on front of Lucian. She headed towards a side door.

"Got it," shouted Ziona, taking down another couple of guards.

"You might be in for a rough time then," muttered Miles. ----------- "3... 2.. 1.. NOW!" Ziona kicked the door open, opened fire with a wide beam stun burst, then pulled back into cover.

"You ever taken out a wizard before Crowley?" asked Miles. -------------- "We'll just have to make do then," murmured Ziona. "On three..."

"And even if you have a corpse, don't assume he's dead. My uncle has pulled many variations of that trick over the years."

"I know that area. It's rumored to be haunted... though whether that's really the case of just my Uncles illusions..." Miles went quiet and studied the map. He then pointed to a few locations. "These settlements and houses here, here and here are abandoned, that might be a good place to start looking. One more thing Crowley, be careful of what your senses tell you. But the hardest one to fool with illusions is touch."

"Where is it? I... might be able to give a few pointers," offered Miles.

Miles sighed. "I used to look down on normal kids. Now I am one." His tone was difficult to make out his exact feelings. ------------- "Anyone got a stun grenade?" asked Ziona as she took up a position next to the door.

If I understand you correctly Knux, you're saying we should have several ships trying to get home, which may or may not work together, verse my idea of everyone being stuck on the same ship and having to cooperate?

I didn't have the problem with pages 6 and 11, though it was missing the front cover for me. *shrug* Also, it wasn't mentioned on the updates window. As for the issue itself..

"Tikal," Melody whispered, "I think you should hug Skye before he goes on another rant!" -------------- "Hehe, thanks. And we should get some for my brother and sister too!" added Anna. -------------- "Agreed. If he hasn't scarpered, I think he's in the next room."

"It better be the only way. I don't what his poisonous influence anywhere near our family," said Skye. ------------- "Well if your ice cold demeanor can somehow whip up some ice cream this would be perfect Daddy!" ------------ "I just hope our quarry hasn't been alerted," said Ziona as she headed towards the next room

Miles sighed. "And again I'm reminded of my weaken state."

Skye shivered. "That's a scary thought. At least once he's gone, he'll be gone!" ------------ "Your icy demeanor must make you great fun at parties!" Anna was struggling not to double over with laughter. ----------- "Right," Ziona also leapt out of cover, firing as she went.

"Not now. I'm missing a key part of his 'destiny' now," said Miles, kicking his detached tail across the cell.

"I would think anyone would distrust me if I handed them to Hope," said Miles. "It's just... I'm fairly certain my uncle is the one who murdered my parents."

"I would like to aid more directly, but..." Miles looked at Zamy and Crowley. "I doubt you'd trust me to go alone, and I don't trust him."

"How can I NOT be ashamed of being like... him!" -------------- "If there is anything more I can do..." began Miles. -------------- "You can come across as that, but I think your melting with your family life!" -------------- "Good idea, lets go!" said Ziona.

"I hope so," said Miles bitterly.
