"Right. I'll check it out." Victor nodded and left the palace, flying to the mountain's direction. The mysterious figure Xandra was talking about was still standing there, and the eyrie didn't bother being noticed.
Besides his lack of compassion, Victor had no patience either. He prepared his claws and landed right on the stranger, holding his neck so it wouldn't run away, even though that could be a big mistake. "Who are you and what do you want?" He hissed angrily.
The eyrie didn't care if this figure was a friend, or perhaps a very dangerous enemy. For the last few weeks Victor had been feeling something burning in his chest, he had the urge to attack something. He didn't really care if he arrived late to the Old Follies Farm and had to spend the night outside, in fact he was hoping that happened so he could find what was causing that fury.

"Ah, a Moltaran... How unusual." The figure mused, his voice a low hiss. "And what, pray tell, makes you think you can fight an Elemental?" The figure cast hurled Victor away with one movement. "I am Nocturnus..." The figure lowered his hood, revealing a twisted Wraith-like figure with a silhouette similar to a wingless Male Faerie... Something that did not exist. "The lord of the Wraiths, the beings that once ruled and shall rule once more."

Saeryennan saw a fiery figure land on the ground in the distance. She gasped.
"Nyvenne!" she cried out suddenly. "Nyvenne, I need your help!"
Within seconds, Xandra noticed the wavy-haired Air Faerie appear beside her with Victor in her arms.
The Xweetok ran to his side as Nyvenne, Saeryennan's guardian, set him on the ground. The Faerie was gone after that.
"Oh no..." she whispered, her hand on his shoulder. "Please, say something."
(After the last RP, I started imagining Nyvenne with wavy hair. I thought it fit her, so there we go.)

Victor opened his eyes in shock, there were so many questions to ask! What was that thing? Was it a dream? Was he serious about taking over Altador? He slowly got up and while he did it, Victor felt pain on his chest. It felt as if a sword went through it not long ago, and he couldn't help but admit that the creature was far more strong than it looked. "His name is Nocturnus..." Victor mumbled, he refused to stay still as the memories came back to his mind. "And he's here to take Altador!" ((Omgeez, new villain! ))

Fear filled Xandra's eyes. Someone was here to take over Altador?! She had to warn the others.
"Victor, can you walk - nevermind. Saeryennan!"
She soon heard feet rushing down the stairs. The snowbunny flew down and curled up next to Victor, purring.
"She's coming downstairs," Xandra said. "You tell her. I'll go tell Hunter and the other Xweetok."
As she rushed for the palace grounds, all thoughts of the fight with Anthy were gone. All Xandra cared about now was making sure everyone was safe.
"Hunter!" she yelled. "There's someone on the mountain, and he wants to seize Altador!"

Anthy stared at the speckled Xweetok, lip curled and cheeks burning. She couldn't be serious. Hadn't she supposedly rescued Altador very recently? It was ridiculous for someone else to launch an attack so soon.

Xandra took note of the other Xweetok's expression.
"I'm sorry..." she said. "I don't even know your...your name - and you have to listen to me! The Eyrie, Victor, he's hurt really badly! I don't think I can help him with my own healing magic...Katriana sapped nearly all of that away when she forced me to learn really damaging stuff...but you, you're an enchantress, right? Please, help me. This is for him, not me."
A tear came out of her right eye. She was really hoping Victor would be all right.

"I'll go fight him. He can't be any worse than Oblivion, right?" Hunter placed his hand on Xandra's shoulder. "Xandra, I want you to come with me. You were able to control the Wraiths before; maybe you could send him back?"

"He's much worse than Oblivion..." Victor warned as he entered the room, he felt pain in his chest but it was slowly getting better. It felt weird, as if some hours ago there was a sword there, but he wasn't bleeding! "He's not just a wraith, he's their leader."
Victor felt ashamed and furious at the same time, he wanted to attack Npcturnus once again, but he knew the results would be the same. But maybe Hunter could change this. "Can I go with you?"

"Of course you can. Just... Be careful, all right?" Hunter nodded at Xandra and Victor. "Are you two ready?"

"I..."
Xandra felt really foolish by now. Victor seemed to be okay, but she had just begged the Red Xweetok to help heal him.
"Um...is she coming with us?"

Anthy stared blankly at the party of neopets. Did they really expect her to tag along as a medic? She had no healing capabilities beyond that of an average person equipped with a first aid kit. With that in her mind, she felt a nasty wave of guilt. Pinching her forehead yet again, she turned to Xandra and admitted that she didn't know how to heal.
Still, she added, "I could provide other abilities."

The wave of guilt now swept over Xandra. Right now, the Xweetok felt like the biggest fool ever to walk Neopia. She had screamed to get help for Victor when he apparently didn't need it, and she had demanded that someone use abilities they didn't have. She groaned and planted her hand firmly on her forehead.
She felt like crying again.
"Please, come with us," she said. "And what is your name? You never said, forgive me."

Feelings of conflict arose in Anthy. She could feel her blood bubbling over the earlier incident, her fur still on edge from the anxiety and frustration. It was jarring to go to aid after arguments, and all this seemingly out of nowhere--as it turned out, all of a sudden she needed to join a party and help them with something or another. She was still not sure what was going on; the events were a blur. Yet if they were serious--and it seemed there was something terrible going on--it would be stupid of her to refuse.
"Nyanthea," she said flatly. "But I go by 'Anthy'."

Okay...what was she supposed to say now? That she was sorry? She'd already tried that, and it hadn't worked. Besides, anyone should be able to see that it was all Katriana's doing - she had pushed Xandra to this point, especially after Caylin left and no one would believe that she was being haunted in her dreams and waking up possessed again. And if it weren't for Katriana forcing her to blast an innocent - okay, evil, but innocent in this - Chia, then Faerieland would still be in the sky.
"H-hello," she said, not knowing what else to say, and took a step back from Anthy, towards Hunter.
