::Gideon's blade floated precariously closer to Jas' arms::
Are you telling me you've put your faith in those weapons? Or maybe that celestial stone around your neck. I do know of Jezebel, and the games she plays with the mortals she despises. I've spent most of my life hunting the ones that she poisons. Her taint has begun to infect this world as well. Besides you, I've found it in two others. Both of whom let her in willingly. One has been marked for death. The other has been spared because she severed her link. Now that brings me to you. I'd heard you were a good man, so I didn't think you'd be so careless as to trust the welfare of your soul to machinations. That's a Witch's trick.

A Screeching can be heard out of the Black Jack as Kenny was riding the phoenix while carrying his wife Lillith who was unconscious from the the burning building but she was ok as the Knight saw the ship and had to think of something to signal attention. "Gotta send a flare and soon." Kenny raised his free hand as fire shot out like a flare spark hoping the Black Jack would see the signal while the phoenix continued to screech as Kenny waited while holding his wife and whispering to her. "Hang on honey, when we get in the ship it will be all good"

"I know, it's only temporary." He replied. "But what other choice do I have? Even if you do sever my arms, the taint will still be on my soul. I know of the other you speak of. I fought against him before and after he fell to Jezebel."

::The computer beeps as it picks up the flare from Kenny. Anya does some quick typing and brings the phoenix image up, seeing Kenny and a unconscious Lillith. She presses a button on the console::
Anya: Attention everyone, if you are in the cargo hold, I suggest you hang on to something tight or clear out.
::Outside, Kenny can see the cargo hold of the ship open, wide enough for phoenix to fly into.::

::The sudden fire in Gideon's narrowed eyes was a strange phenomenon. Those eyes looked so out of place in a face that appeared so young. But the childish features of his face could not hide the resolve in his eyes as firm as a mountain::
Don't change the subject. You speak the truth. Severing your arms does this world no good. Her true path begins at the heart. Like with a disease, the best course of action would be to cut it out completely. Consider that. By allowing me to kill you, you'd sever another part of that monster's taint to this world before she makes you a tool of hers. You're one of the oldest heroes of this world. Tell me, are you willing to make that ultimate sacrifice for its sake?

Kenny looked on as the cargo doors of the Black Jack begin to open up as he sighed with relief now that everything was going to be alright as he steered his magical pet into the ship being careful as the bird screeched a bit but was really tame and obedient as Kenny had the bird stopped as soon as it was inside the ship. As the cargo doors close Kenny held his wife tightly and jumped off the bird as he looked around. "Somebody!!! We need medical attention!!!" Kenny said as he was catching his breath after what had just happen at the burning inn.

"I am." He replied, Gideon could see the determination in those piercing icy blue eyes. "My kind has always been willing to lay their lives on the line for this planet. But not today. I still have something left to do, and I can't afford to die before then. And if I fall before that, I will take my own life to prevent her from using me to get to them." ::Azurewrath manifested in his hand, crossing the blade with Gideon's:: "And if you still intend to kill me now, you'll find I'm not that easy to kill." ::A tiger growling got Gideon's attention as the kitten he saw earlier was now a full grown two-tailed white tiger, poised to strike should he make an attempt to strike.::

::After setting the ship on auto-pilot, Anya rushed to the cargo hold and got inside as the door closed. She saw Kenny holding Lillith when he yelled for help and saw the condition Lillith was in::
Anya: Fallow me quickly! ::Leads him out the cargo hold and towards the medical bay::

Kenny watched as he saw Anya appeared after he was calling for help. He was then informed to follow to the medical bay as he followed her out of the cargo hold. Moments later they made it to the medical bay area as he was so much scared for her life. "I found her by an inn it was on fire. I had a feeling something was wrong when she left."

"Any idea why she was there to begin with?" Anya said before typing into a small computer as the bed Lillith was on started glow.
((OOC: I'll leave it to Lillith what's wrong))

::Lillith lay sound asleep on the bed in the medical bay, her face smudged with charcoal. Parts of her clothes were scorched, and there were some minor burns on her arms and legs. And clutched in her hand was a blood stained rag of some kind. From the scorch marks and the blood, no one would ever be able to tell it was once the Kaffiya of a dear friend::

::Gideon just smirked before sheathing the sword on his back::
I have no intention of killing a man with that kind of conviction for good. Your resolve is admirable. So I'll reward you with this; the true way to fight off her evil.
::He placed his fist over his own chest::
The power to keep her away for good comes from in here. I understand your desire to have these weapons with you to use against her, but a weapon is only as strong as the heart that wields it. Remember that, and rule your own power. Don't let it rule you.

::Azurewrath sinks back into his arm, the darkness Gideon sees fades:: "I already know that." He replied. "But there is something else about me you should know, but now is not the time because showing it in this hallway wouldn't be a good idea. And besides that ::Yawns:: It's going to be while before we land and I would like to get some rest." ::He motions for the tiger to settle down before it changes back into its cat form and jumps on Gideon to jump onto Jas::
"And with that, I bid you good night." ::He walks away towards the living quaters they were given while they were on the Black jack::

::Iole dove back into her cabinet and pulled out another meat pie, completely unaware that someone else had just entered the room::
So have you told him yet?
Iole: Ah! Geez don't doo that. How long have you been there?
Long enough to watch you try and smother your problems in meat. Now, have you told him yet?
Iole: Told who about what?
Now Iole, that's just kruel. Are you really going to keep poor Oliver in the dark that you've been dreaming of another man. One that you just diskovered is very real and more like you than you realized?

Oliver had begun wandering around the Black-Jack, after Iole had run off, he felt it was nest to just give her space. He heard the commotion coming from medical, and he approached. There he saw Kenny, Anya and Lillith who appeared burned and moderately injured. Worried he popped his head in.
"Is s'e a'right?" He asked, looking at the two standing. "W'at 'appened?" Approaching the bed slowly. He spotted the cloth grasped tightly in her burned hands. The pattern was distinctly familiar - he reached for it. "T'at's... Adrian's? W'ats going on 'ere?"

::At last, Oliver's voice stirred Lillith from her sleep::
O--Oliver...
::Her cat-like green eyes fluttered open::
I'm sorry. It was a setup. I was too late.
::She held out the kaffiya to him before her chest heaved. She hacked up the ash and smoke that had invaded her lungs earlier, her hand grasping Kenny's tightly to keep her steady. She leaned her head over the edge of the cot as though she were about to wretch::

Oliver took the burnt kaffiya in his hand, the burnt edges cracking and bits of the cloth ash falls away to the floor. He stepped back, letting Lillith have her room and wishing to avoid any possible splash back.
"W'o? W'o set t'is up?" His hand clenched tightly around the fabric. "The Count?" He looked over to Kenny. "W'at happened, w'y is s'e burnt? W'ere's Adrian?"

::Thinking quickly, Anya grabbed a pail and placed it down before Lillith wretched on the floor:: "Calm down Lillith. Just breath slowly and explain when you're able to."

::Lillith gagged once more before lifting her eyes. They were wet from the strain, but they were filled with rage. She wiped her mouth with the back of her sleeve.::
That son of a b*tch. He'll pay for this.
::Slowly, she pulled herself to sit up and spoke in a voice that was low and menacing. Oliver and the others had seen her angry on multiple occasions, but not like this. This was different::
I'm going to ram those glasses down his throat first thing.

Kenny watched as his wife got up after laying for a moment on the medical bed. He noticed that she was really mad like nothing he seen before as he noticed a different tone in her voice. She then said that she will ram his glasses as he had a feeling it can mean one thing though he cant wonder how he can be alive. He then looked at her and begin to speak to her. "Honey? Are you ok? I'm sorry" he said as he felt bad that his wife was hurt from all this.
