The Dark Stranger

[Maliki]

The boy payed no attention to Arianna's cry for Maliki. Instead he doubled his efforts. His chaotic powers surged like a title wave. The castle continued repairing its grounds at twice the rate, bricks combined, the roof was soon reconstructed. It didn't take long at all with this kind of power, it was only a few minutes and the torches in the courtroom lit. "There now.."

Maliki's response to Ari was slightly delayed, "What is it child?"

[Diana]

~Uncle Maliki he's doing something at the castle.....rebuilding it.~
She stepped slowly back some more. Something about the castle felt wrong, icky. There was still no fear in the voice.
~It feels wrong Uncle Maliki.....bad. Mommy and Daddy Daerth said not to do bad things. He's doing something bad isn't he?~

[Maliki]

The boy laughed softly. It echoed with Evil. He ignored Arianna and began to walk back towards the study of the castle. The room where Sage had died. "They tried to bring 'him' back? Fools.." The castle walls spoke to him. He knew all that had gone on during the battle between the soul of Thirteen and The Dark King sage.

~Which castle? There are many in these lands.~

[Diana]

~The one where the bad things happened and the monsters came from.~
She looked at the castle.
~Please Uncle Maliki.....it feels evil here."
Her voice got quieter and softer, making it seem smaller.

[Maliki]

~I'll be there soon.~

The boy opened a book in the study and began flipping through the pages, "The Nightbreed were obsolete... why did they continue with old traditions?" While he read he began to piece together what had happened, and the time he had missed during his slumber. He felt Maliki's energy heading in his direction. "It would have been no use to summon my brother with that kind of power.." He looked out the window. Even having felt the power that Maliki possessed the boy seemed unworried.

[Diana]

~Please hurry Uncle Maliki.~
When he came she was on the ground with her arms around her knees. She sat there staring at the castle.

[Maliki]

It was only a few moments before Maliki arrived. Landing on the ground next to Arianna he looked around. The Dark castle had been completely restored, "Who has this kind of power?" He questioned, looking down towards Arianna.

The Boy now in a different room continued to thumb through books. Going over the history of the three thousand years he had slept. He appeared to read at a phenominal rate. Not even giving a slight pause when the languages changed. "I see... so the soul of thirteen has controlled these lands for about ten years..." He looked towards the table where Sage had tried to sacrifice Faith to summon his brother, "Primitive... even in my slumber I know this world has advanced beyond a sacrifice."

[Diana]

"A boy like me but not. Opposite."
She stared at the castle her eyes glowing green.

[Maliki]

Maliki raised a brow, "I doubt a child is this strong." He began walking towards the castle.

The Boy continued to fly through the pages of the books. Soon he'ld covered all the history he'ld missed. It was a total of two or three minutes by the time he'ld finished his reserch. He walked over to the sacrifice table that Sage had used. Giving a light smirk he placed his hand on the stone. Which cracked, withered, split and eventually became a pile of sand.

[Diana]

"Uncle Maliki....."
When Maliki looked at Ari her green eyes were staring intently at the castle. White blond hair blew in a breeze and the Earth repaired itself around her.
"Be careful. He......destroys."
