The Women died there. Mordecai knelt by Finx, and pulled out a flask. "hmm.....going to have to do this manually. "he said, pouring some of the liquid in his mouth, and kissing finx, pushing it down her throat, with his tongue

Athena coughed groaning softly she was exhausted " What am I sleeping beauty? Though whoever you are you kiss good."

"Thank you. "Mordecai said, and lifted her up. He then handed her to Lori. "Can you get here somewhere breezy, but warm?"

Lori shook her head " I am need here." she gestured to the people she was healing " Why don't you take her my lord?"

Mordecai took her into the fort, and laid her down on a bed

Athena flinched slightly groaning " Oh my head." she grimaced. She gasped a red flames shot up around the bed she screamed as the flames wrapped around her body. She tried to get free but the flames pushed her back down " You are mine." a voice whispered " You will never belong to yourself again." it purred the flames caressed her face.

A cold breeze came by, and blew out the flames. Xhast grabbed the beinv. "Hello friend." He said, his voice scarily calm.

The flame hissed " Stupid demon this is none of your business." Athena scrambled away tears streaking down her face Barthy appeared " It may not be his but it is mine." he growled " I wondered you about touching her again." he opened his hand for the flame.

"Mordecai appeared, and thrusted a stone in the fire. "You're mine now."he said. The being would absorbed into the stone."

" No one control me." The voice remained though the fire did not. A soft wind caressed Athena who whimpered softly Barthy stepped forward snarling " I'll be back my dear." the room regained it normal color.

Mordecai closed his hands around the stone, and slipped into the stone, to speak to the demon.

Barthy sighed " Damn Cretan can't seem to leave her alone...course she did encounter him before me." he knelt next to Athena " It's alright I will protect you from him. You are my girl and your soul will belong to me." he pushed her tears away " hush." he said frowning " No tears."

Mordecai walked over to the being. "Answer questions, so I may know answers. "he said, knowing to speak clearly to demons, because they could speak in riddles.

" He is gone know boy." Barthy said pulling Athena to him " He's just a spirit that has a thing for Athena he thinks because she saw him first that means he gets her."

Mordecai pulled himself out of the Gem. "I want him. I'll store him in the blood-stone, so Xhast could eat it. He'll get more powerful that way. "He said.

"You knew that, Right brother?"Xhast said.

" You can only catch him with the right spell." Barthy said smiling at Athena who smiled back softly as he placed her necklace back around her neck.

"Ive studied Demonology. "he said

Athena hiccupped softly " I don't know if she can take another visit." Barthy sighed " he only shows up when shes weak."

"Next time, we'll be ready. Xhast gets stronger, and another stupid demon is gone. Win-win situation. "he said.

Barthy just shook his head then turned to Athena " You alright." " Yeah." Athena said her voice shaking slightly " We have to deal with the demons." she said turning her focus elsewhere.

"After the attack here, I think it will be no trouble gathering the Mages Guild and the Warder's will fall in line. "he said.

" No I don't think so either." Athena sighed " But I still need to pick the mages that would be best for the job." she frowned " healers for sure. Demon mages like me, and a few others as well."

"I Need the Arch-Mages of the Winterhold, and the Guild-Master of the Dragon Guild. "He said.

Athena made a face " That means going to Winterhold and taking to those old lechers geezers." she sighed

"We can deal with it. "He said.
