morganknightChrist on a cross, or rather, Cross on a dragon! My life is fucking insane!
I came home yesterday only to find, of all people, *Glass* in my backyard. Glass is a Gila monster who was an old friend of Mom's -- except he's also a shapechanger, a "Mokole", which means he turns from human to lizard to DRAGON instead of something *sane* like werewolves. But he's very good natured -- he's in some of my oldest memories, the ones I have to dig up with magick, playing with me and Andrea. It was -- good to see him. Like a little piece of my past still exists.
The reunion didn't last long, though -- evidently my SISTER had teamed up with him for some bizarre purpose, which I was to find out later. In the middle of the night I get a call from, of all people, Siryn Valkonan, Stephen's mom -- and she's looking for solutions. The lizard has a shard of pure spiritual *evil* embedded in his mind, and they can't get it out without killing him. They're so desperate they turn to ME for help -- and I suggest purifiying the shard *without* destroying it. Call it an analogy from my recent trip... that's how I thought of it. Seems they like that idea.
They like that idea enough that this morning, when I was training with Nhairis-sensei, Andrea, Shadow (her adoptive father and Nhairis's husband), and Glass were doing werewolf things to try to accomplish it. I pay this no nevermind, till the end of the training -- because when I go to change, I discover that my sword is gone. GONE.
This is absolutely impossible, or should be -- it has my SOUL in it. I could be across the world from it and still know exactly where it is -- and yet I couldn't. At first I thought it was a test Nhairis-sensei hadn't told me about, and I dared to ask. I've never seen her so shocked before. She mobilized the team to go look for it.
I should have realized it was in the Horizon Realm sooner. The pond in the dojo's garden leads into the Umbral Realm where a lot of the local mages live and work, and it would make sense I couldn't sense my sword there. We dived through and I felt it at the bottom of the lake on the other side. Andrea got it for me.
Turns out Glass had stolen it. Glass! Stole my SOUL! Because he wanted me to HURT so Andrea would forgive me. (Guess who's been running her mouth about how bad I am to her...) Funny thing is though, it seemed to work -- till I made a comment, all in affection, about Nhairis-sensei and Shadow being nuts. Which is something I would say about myself, Stephen, Cadence, or ANYone I knew -- but Andrea decided to take it personally. And all of a sudden we were enemies again.
I left after that. And then not fifteen minutes ago Nhairis-sensei pops into my head quoting Disney movies. Evidently I'm to join her for lunch tomorrow. I wonder what that's about.
