The blade of his scythe glided through the demon's neck as if it were but paper, and Jack could not help but feel the temptation to swing again, but the demon had fallen limp. Jack looked and witnessed Annika grow much larger, and tearing through the remaining forces. Relief washed over him. He noticed he seemed to be gripping his weapon with white knuckles, and relaxed, taking in a breath and leaning on the scythe. He wasn't in a hurry to get rid of it, knowing more of Witchfire's forces could be right around the corner. The dead body of Madalyne's father held his attention. Jack had seen death in many places, and he did not know Ed. But clearly, he meant something to some of the people present, who now had the burden of remembering him.

[color=6644ff]"...We [i]will[/i] ensure his death is not unanswered for,"[/color] Jack said to Runa and Madalyne, hoping it would provide some figment of comfort. Everyone passed in time, and some went before others, but it did not diminish the fact that Sym deserved the fate that would no doubt be awaiting him. And Witchfire... [i]Ananym[/i] had some explaining to do. With Sym now gone, there were more important matters to attend to.

[color=6644ff]"You are exactly right,"[/color] He nodded towards Prudence. [color=6644ff]"We cannot stay here. We have a matter of hours before the Veil falls to pieces, and our home is torn to ribbons by the monsters of this world. I understand you do not care for this, and I would happily open another portal to send out everyone here who wishes to return home, but interplanar navigation is unreliable at the moment. Here in Limbo, there are [i]natural[/i] portals known as Stepping Discs, one of which just happened to have opened at the perfect time for Sym to escape. If you see one, and decide to remove yourself from this situation entirely, simply walk through and they [i]should[/i] displace you into any point in physical space, during any point in the past or future."[/color]

Prudence didn't seem like the type who wanted to worry about an entire dimension folding in on itself. She gave Jack the impression that she was more concerned with her personal safety, and rightfully so. If she wanted a way out, he wouldn't blame her for taking it. 

He then turned to the overall group. [color=6644ff]"Regardless, an option we may have is searching for Illyana Rasputina. She is the Sorcerer Supreme of Limbo, and Witchfire claims to be the [i]queen[/i] of Limbo. A Sorcerer Supreme doesn't simply [i]abdicate the throne[/i], they hold their position of power for as long as they exist. And Miss Rasputina should be the most powerful woman in this entire realm, no less. If she has been replaced by Ana- by Witchfire-"[/color] Her name left his voice with a trace of grief, [color=6644ff]"-Then this side of the Veil is [i]also[/i] under threat of crumbling. We need answers, and I would assume she can provide them. Does anyone have any other possible suggestions?"[/color]
