Des crashed out of that room, running at half speed right at Keegan. "GO you fool!! Go!!" She screamed at him. She ran at him, ducking and picking him up, still running.
Josie was on the roof, head-counting, muttering names. "Everyone's here!"

Keegan gave a- rather feminine- shriek as he clung to Des. "What?! What's wrong now?!"

"She's unconcious for only two minutes. That's just enough time to get you all to the roof and summon up enough magic to get us OUT OF HERE!!!" Des yelled, as she reached the roof. "Everyone! Form a circle!" She said, holding onto Keegan's hand and Prop's shoulder. Josie held onto Willow's hand while Tiara held onto Josie's jeans. All the kids formed a circle.

Keegan looked about uncertainly, and sighed deeply.
Skylar clung to Josie and Willow's arms, leaning over their intwined hands as if for dear life.

Des closed her eyes, a low mumbling comming form her breath. Her hair, that was once blowing in the wind, stopped. Settled down like there was no wind at all. Everything seemed to stop then slowly disappear. It was slower than normal because Des was not used to teleporting such a large group so fast and without preperations. Hence the actual verbal cantations and slowly fading trees.

Skylar gave a low groan, and Willow blinked his eyes as he looked around. You could bet he'd be writing up some kind of report on this in is dia-...I mean, journal. Scientific journal. Yes.
Keegan held tightly to Des, watching the world around them fade away.

The wind came back, hard and cold. All around them the earth became white. Well, outside the wall-windows. Inside it was a warm, peaceful castle. Classic, too. Very old but seemingly still in use. Des let go once she was sure they'd all arrived safely. "No one can get up here," She explained to Keegan, worried that he might want to go back. "It's really nice.. and the only other home I have.." She said as the kids immediately scattered to explore. Prop and Tiara gave the two babes to Des and she cradled them. Dust removed itself from a chair as Des sat down with the two babes and cuddled with them. "I'm sorry.. but.. this is the only other place big enough, too..."

Keegan sighed, running his fingers through his firey hair. Pulling his thin, almost grubby fingers from his hair, he narrowed his eyes at the scarlet strands wrapped tightly 'round his fingers. "I know, I know."

Des held the kids close to her, rubbing her nose on her forehead. "Keegan... I think Miusa needs changing.. can you hold the other for a while?" Des asked, handing him the other baby. She stood up and waited for him to take it.

Keegan gently took the other baby, nodding his head. "Sure. You go on ahead. I can take care of this little tyke." He offered Des one of his fool-proof, cheshire cat-like grins as he usally did when pleased with a task he had been set to do.

Moss looked up at Keegan, giggling. He put his hands against Keegans' face, playing with his cheeks, trying to make Keegan smile like that again. Des chuckled and left the two boys alone. Moss had yellow eyes. His hair was red, like Keegan's but curly cause he was a baby. He giggled up at Keegan, curling that baby talk.

Keegan stuck out his tounge before allowing his face to twist into a grin again, this time more goofy than the last. He let both of his tails twitch, before one twisted upwards to tickle the baby's sides.

The baby Moss laughed a contagious laugh that HAD to have come from Des' side. It was high pitched at this point, but not piercingly loud. Just joyous.
A little face appeared around the corner. "Uhmm.. Dad?" Prop asked. "Can you and I sit down for a moment?" He asked, blinking.

Keegan paused, perking up as he looked at Prop. "Sure. Come on over. I just gotta watch this little tyke, but we can talk if that's what you want."

"Yeah... Don't tell mom..." Prop walked over and sat down on the couch near Keegan was sitting. "But... Robin has, you know, the mark of a Demon Hunter, right?" He asked, playing with his hands. "The specific one that means he was destined to kill Des, right?" He stared down at his feet nervously.

Keegan paused, seeming to think a momment. "Mmmm..." after a few seconds of shuffling through random bounts of knowledge, he recovered the document that would clarify or discharge this statement. "Yes. Yes. That's right, isn't it? What about it?"

"Well.." Prop pulled up his sleeve. It was almost the same mark, except for the fact that it wasn't Des' sign on there in the water of the sunset. Instead of green eyes and white fur it was grey fur with orange eyes. "I think... I think I'm the next in line..." He muttered, and looked to Keegan. "This.. this means I can beat her. This means that I can defeat Jill... I want your permission to go, father, please!"

"Whoa whoa whoa! Hold up!" Keegan placed Moss down, before making a motion with his arms that clearly meant for Prop to stop right there. Although Keegan would have very much enjoyed the idea - if only for the fact of being able to return home - it was ludacris. "I...I can't let you do that, Prop. It's too dangerous. And I don't want you hurt."

"But, dad!" Prop protested. "This proves that I CAN beat her!! I'll go search for Robin and he'll train me!" Prop looked up at Keegan, still at the age of 14. "Please! This might be my big chance!!" Prop said, holding onto Keegan's shirt. "You've GOT to let me go!"

Keegan sighed, massaging his brow. "Prop...I don't want you to get hurt." There was a pause, another sigh escaped Keegan after a momment of deep thought. "And what if Robin doesn't train you? What'll you do then? Still try and defeat her?" Looking around a bit, Keegan seemed confused now. He didn't know what to answer, exactly - no matter what he said someone would be upset. "And what about Jamie? What happens to her if you do get hurt?"
