From the Depths of Hades
There was a low rumbling deep within the Earth near Taenarum, Greece. The rumbling grew louder and louder until it seemed like there was an earthquake. Local residents ran for doorframes. The Earth erupted and dirt, rocks and plants were sprayed into the air. A gaping maw formed in the Earth and the pit seemed bottomless.

The pit was not empty.

Beings and creatures that had not seen the light of day in over two thousands years climbed from the pit and stepped out onto the Earth.

	“Can you guys get me to Blood Manor,” Mike asked, he would prefer to do some research in a library he was more familiar with. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm certain that can be arranged, Michael," Victoria said, as she stepped through the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Zach smirks as he pats Mike on the back and ushers him throw, making the 90 degree pivot into the floor as physics bend around the door, shutting it behind him as they emerge in the front foyer of Shadowcrest.

"Kid... I can get you to places that serve drinks to curl a Czarnian's toes. Not my idea of a good time though." He chuckles. "Welcome to my humble ancestral home."

	Mike had been to Shadowcrest a couple of time to with Sin so he knew the place a bit. He did give a little glare at being called kid and being patted on the back like he was one. “Yes well don’t try to go straight there the wards against that are strong enough that they have kept Morgan le Fey out of the for almost a millennia.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Victoria nodded her approval at the state of the manor. Distasteful though she found Zachary, she had the utmost respect for other members of the Zatara clan. "I doubt we have much time to spare, gentlemen. Let's get to work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fresh from her fight with Medusa, Sindella had teleported back to Shadowcrest...with the Medusa statue in tow, as she wasn't sure what to do with it. She made her way to the library for a solution. Only to see her cousin, Mike, and someone she didn't know. "Hello..." she said, looking a little confused. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Las Vegas partdemon 2010-09-06 03:24 am UTC (link)
	“Hello,” Mike said, “I’m as surprised to end up here as you are and cool statue.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't mean to sound rude, but what are you all doing here? And, who are you?" As much as she liked Zach and Mike, Sindella wasn't too crazy about people showing up announced. Yes, Zach and Mike might as well be family but they at least could've called. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Zach grins, genuinely delighted to see his 'niece' (since first cousin once removed didn't quite have the right ring to it for their interactions); he strides over to hug her. "Hello Sindella. Just stopping by to do some research. Miss Craft is a bit moody, but she's a worthwhile ally."

He regards her statue. "...I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that's a genuine article." He cocks his head. "Enchanted mirror or some kind of counter-hex to turn back the gaze?"

	"A pleasure to meet you," Victoria told Sindella. "Another Greek monster," she said. "I believe this confirms the hypothesis." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Las Vegas partdemon 2010-09-06 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	Mike would definitely do something to make up this inexcusable intrusion later for Sindella. “Also Cerberus was trying to eat Gotham.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Las Vegas allednis_arataz 2010-09-06 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	"It is," she said, "And I simply conjured a mirror, forcing her to see her own reflection." "And if you don't mind my asking, Ms Craft, would you mind sharing your hypothesis with me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Las Vegas greatest_zatara 2010-09-06 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Good job sweetie." Zach smiles dotingly at Sindella, before giving Craft his attention. "I'm all ears Vic-toria." He hesitated just slightly, almost calling her 'Vicky' out of habit, but switching to the proper out of respect to her being the one with the hypothesis. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"A clever solution, Miss Sindella," Victoria said, offering praise to the younger Zatara.

She went on to explain. "The fortunate thing about most of the magical happenings in this world, is that the gods, by and large, are forbidden from direct intervention in the world; they require avatars and intermediaries.

The same rules, however, are less strict when it comes to creatures. The rules do love their loopholes, and in this case, a being from the immortal realms could have easily let these creatures loose, and because they were not acting directly upon this plane, escape blame."

	At least this was better than dealing with the demonic mind games he was more accustomed to. “But what god would be stupid enough to try something like this.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Las Vegas allednis_arataz 2010-09-06 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe a god that wants to cause trouble with the other gods," Sindella said thoughtfully. "Eris is the goddess of discord, is she not? Maybe she wanted to stir up a little trouble and watch the other gods writhe as they watched, knowing that they couldn't get involved." Yes, there is an upside to having Wonder Woman for a godmother.

	"Well that's just prime...." Zach sighs, putting a hand to his forehead. "Eris certainly fits the profile for the events, in any case. I don't think we should rule out a summoner just yet, but I think this should be our primary route of investigation." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Las Vegas just_a_stranger 2010-09-07 12:16 am UTC (link)
	"A definitive possibility, Sindella," Victoria told her. "Well said." "The immortal realms are not easy to travel too, however," she added. "Even for those of our nature." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“I know dad has some books on how to travel to the different realms and planes,” Mike said, “Along with a couple of tools that could help.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mom's been teaching me about other dimensional travel," Sindella said, "Though most of the spells require more than one person. At least three, but even then you might not get the results you require. It helps to have more people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

“Yeah unless one has you could take a lot of time to teach me the complexities of how to cast dimensional travel spells you might want to find someone with a bit more experience,” Mike said. He knew a little bit of magic and felt he was pretty powerful with magic but he was pretty sure his basic training wouldn’t be enough to fulfill the required skill for this though he would be willing to lend his power to the spell.

	Zach taps a foot and his chin, thinking as he folds his arms. "Shadowcrest can send us just about anywhere, provided we lock in on a particular destination. It's making sure the locale is friendly enough, in terms of dimensional wavelength, to get back from that's the hard part." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sindella nodded, as she went to the bookshelves, looking for the volume on transportation spells that she'd found the other day... (Reply to this)(Parent)
