A new Arrival

[Xiomara]

Xiomara watched Daton go after nodding at Ajax, perhaps the information would be too much for the young man and if she was wrong about his identity then they could be running the risk of exposing their members to hunters. She hadn't thought that far, though it still nagged at her the tigress kept her mouth shut for a minute or two.

When she turned to look at Taz she frowned, finding him looking at her in a way that she didn't recognize. A chill went down her spine when he mentioned his father, her hands clenching to fists and teeth grinding. Taz's scent was different but she was angered at his knowledge and more than that, at what had been done to him while she was away playing queen. Swallowing back the disgust with herself she looked at Ajax and bowed. "I am going out to seek Erebus... Perhaps I can track him down." Turning on a heel she followed Daton's footsteps, intent on finding Erebus if he really was back in Lacrimosa.

Sam was playing in the gardens with the dead coming to life all around her when she heard her name chattered out and spun to pinpoint who it was that was talking to her. The voices whispered in her head and they sounded like that person that had been with the Masked Man. Bending down and retrieving Bunny she blew into the rabbit's face and sent him on his way to lead her towards the place where they held this Taz. But before that, Redd crouched down and pressed her ear against the ground to listen, or so it seemed. Instead she was pouring her soul into the creatures that were still trying to dig their way out of the dirt.

Slowly a dilapidated mole burrowed its way through until it hit the wall of Taz's cell. It shrieked right outside it in recognition and then Sam took over it, snuffing the soul from it. "Tazzy, taz, taz.... One, two... Sam's coming for.... Three four..... run for the door.... five six.... bars break like sticks...." Taz would be able to hear the girl's words and anyone else in the room would too. She had heard him call for her and she was answering that call now.

Getting to her feet after withdrawing her power, Sam ran barefoot and took the wake of her energy with her. The bodies fell limp to the floor, scattered about the gardens as she made her way towards the cells, following the one soul she never left without; Bunny's.
