"Fool." The Usul said. "You think your magic can beat me? Admit it, you're weak!" The usul snapped her fingers and the shadow tendrils immediately attacked Xandra.
"Now what is this?" She hissed, turning herself toward the bushes close to the camp's entrance. "I feel fear, good." The usul smiled.
Two of the werelupes ran into the bushes and came back carrying Carry, Parry and Loura.
"Trying to escape, I see?" The Usul muttered offended. "I'll be sure to keep your feathers inside the camp all the time, I don't want anyone spoiling this night. You two, werelupes! Go into the woods and bring me back whoever escaped, after all this is supposed to be a surprise party!"
The two furry neopets dropped the prisoners and vanished into the woods, howling and snarling.

Xandra yelped as the tendrils grabbed her. Desperately, she tried to prepare some more magic before she would be turned into Caylis or something worse.
Meanwhile, Saeryennan called to the sky.
"Nyvenne! Nyvenne, I need your help!" Why did I not foresee this? she thought. I could have warned all the Neopets not to come here!
Almost instantly, an Air Faerie appeared. Her hair was in soft curls, unlike a lot of Air Faeries.
"I need some kind of weapon," Saeryennan said. "I have to save these Neopets!"

"There, there..." The Usul patted Xandra's back. "No need to panic, after all I don't want to cause a bad impression to the royal family! Talking about family, I know you care a lot about your Queen...I was planning making a visit to Fyora since she's closer, but I guess I hit the jackpot tonight!"
The usul suddenly stopped talking and stared at the moon, it was at the top...which meant...
"I don't have much time left." She muttered. "You two! Queen of Altador and Darigan Aisha!" The tendrils wrapped around both prisoners.
"I bet you care a lot for her!" She pointed at Xandra while talking to Kalara. "And I bet you don't want to see her end up inside a tornado, or perhaps ending up as a maraquan aisha left behind with no water, is that right? And you, Darigan Aisha..."
The Usul's shadow tendrils vanished from around her, setting the aisha free!
"Make me a favor and call your old korbat friend!" The usul hissed.

Tannhauser had escaped. But what could he do now? And what was this Shadow Usul. A ghost? If so, Tannhauser could handle it. It was just procedure. But if it was something else...
Tannhauser prepared a mixture. It was a ghost repellent, nothing too complicated. He applied some of it to himself, just in case any ghosts were around in the forest. Then, he pulled out a flashlight from his briefcase. Apart from studying the supernatural, the thing he was best at was making shadow puppets. In a world where supernatural beings often hid in the darkness, he found it useful to be able to display their outline to people.
He ran back to the camp. Things seemed worse. He shone his flashlight at the ground, and, putting a hand in front of it, formed the approximate likeness of a lupe. Could that merit a distraction? He threw the bottle of ghost repellent at where the shadow seemed to be originating. What would happen?

Nyvenne had vanished to Altador to find a weapon for Saeryennan.
Kalara was trembling in fear. She wished she'd stuck to her archery lessons.
"W-what do you want from m-me?" she asked.
"If you're thinking about taking over Altador," Saeryennan said, glaring and stomping one foot into the ground, "you'll have to talk to my father about that. Leave them alone!"

"ARGH!" The Shadow Usul suddenly became confused, her texture was less solid and she seemed to be in pain! "Who is doing this? What's this on the air?" she struggled.
"Altador...is just the beginning...ungh. This is ruining everything!" She stumbled, still suffering with the effects of the ghost repellent. Suddenly, a storm began to form on Haunted Woods, but it wasn't fully under control of the usul since she was distracted by Tannhauser's spray. "I will not let myself be beaten up this easily!"
A vortex formed around the Shadow Usul, turning Kalara and Xandra into their costumes. But the ghost lost control, the vortex was growing and the beasts she transformed were running around the woods, completely out of control! The tendrils held it's victims tighter, but some managed to escape!

I believe I may have made things worse, thought Tannhauser. But would you look at that? It is some sort of a ghost. He smiled briefly, but then frowned. The beast mentioned Altador.
Tannhauser had been called about some apparitions in Neovia. He had expected a routine ghostbusting, or, at the most, a simple specter. But now he had gotten himself into much worse. What was going on? Was this Usul responsible for those apparitions? Probably not. What to do? Tannhauser was not a coward, but if he was unprepared, he was essentially useless.
Overwhelmed with fear and confusion, Tannhauser collapsed into unconsciousness on the ground, the contents of his briefcase spilling everywhere around him.

"N-no...I must not...let the night end! I can't stay here any longer, something in this camp is confusing me!" The Usul struggled. "This is just the beginning of the endless Halloween, I'll be back!" And then, she vanished. The usul left her victims behind, thankfully they were now back to their senses and usual behavior, however they were still transformed.
"Oh my..." The Wocky Gypsy slowly showed up from behind one of the wagons destroyed by the snow beast, only to see her home thorn into pieces of wood and trash. She looked around and found the reason why the Usul left, a green scorchio! She heard of him before, Neovians told stories about a scorchio who was very skilled with ghost problems.
"Are you alright?" The gypsy tried to help the scorchio, but he was unconscious. "You, cybunny princess! Would you mind dropping your sword and lending a paw?"

((So do Xandra and Kalara just look like Isca and Caylis now?))

((So do Xandra and Kalara just look like Isca and Caylis now?)) ((How do they get around with tails?)) ((EDIT: Also, is this how you notate something which isn't part of the RP?)) ((EDIT 2: I'd imagine that, since Isca and Caylis are rational thinking creatures, unlike snowbeasts, that Xandra and Kalara just look like them without losing their minds.))

((Mind if I join with my Draik?)) ((Welcome Sarn!)) Xandra gave a gasp as...something changed. She tried to run but fell, she was now a duplicate of Caylis. However, due to the attack on the Shadow Usul, she didn't lose her mind. Nor did Kalara, who now looked like Isca. When Saeryennan saw this, she screamed. Loud and clear. Tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't know much about Maraquan pets, but she doubted they could survive on land for long. She caught a small sword Nyvenne had appeared with. "NYVENNE!" she yelled, crying. "HELP THEM!" she pointed at Xandra and Kalara. Instantly the Air Faerie picked "Isca" up and vanished. After a few moments she was back, this time for "Caylis". Saeryennan dropped her weapon on the ground and ran to the side of the unconscious Scorchio.

Tannhauser stirred briefly, and then woke up suddenly. He scampered backwards when he saw the gypsy and the Cybunny.
"Who are you?!" He screamed at the gypsy. His voice was more shrill than usual, no doubt from fright. "What do you want with me? I want an explanation!" Then he faced the Cybunny. "And what about you? Visions? Spirits? Are you behind this? And where's that Xweetok? I have questions for her too!"
Tannhauser breather heavily for a moment, and he stood up, supporting himself on a tree. "Does anyone here have any answers!?"

"Well, looks like someone has been working too long..." The gypsy muttered. "I have some answers, at least I hope I do!"
THe wocky walked toward a dirty book on the floor, it belonged to the story teller who propably lost it during the Snow beast accident. THe gypsy picked it up carefully and began skanning the pages.
"Aha, found it!" She turned the book to show it to Saeryennan and Tannhauser. "Remember the usul was muttering about the night lasting forever? That's because she can't exist during the day, and since Sophie made the potion in the first place...I think we should talk to her ourselves."
