A new threat to their peace of mind.

[Kiara Johnson]

Moloch shook his head.  "No, if everything goes fine, and we, I am able to separate the two of them, Kiara will not be bothered by her again, however..."  He trailed off and motioned to the other table.  "The Shadow, Will be, her own entity after, and not, I fear, happy."  He finished, then walked to a set of cabinets and took out a few vials, containing assorted colored liquids and some artifacts, one resembling Kiara, oddly enough.

[Evil_To_The_Max]

...well,I suppose we'll worry about that later...*he sighed*

[Kiara Johnson]

Moloch walked back to the tables and set his collection of needed things about Kiara and then looked at Max.  "Just, what ever you do, be ready to save your wife, when the Shadow comes about, you can guess the first thing she would wish dead..." He told him, and then turned and began unstoppering one of the vials.

*he turned to watch kiara apprehensively*

[Kiara Johnson]

Moloch then pulled his full attention to his work at hand, no further conversations were necessary, he felt he had gotten his point across fine, and so, he began chanting, his words were quiet, almost hypnotic in rhythm as he went along, the language was undetermined, perhaps old geek of sorts, at the end of each sentence, he would mark Kiara with one of the contents of any different vial He then placed the idol that assumed Kiara's form, on the table next to her and set it to flame.  It ignited with a hissing sound and Kiara's body twisted in what looked to be pain and she screamed, then went very quiet, though her chest rose and fell as if she was running a race, sweat began to form on her brow and the room seemed to begin to buzz with electricity, a lot of it too.

This went on for over an hour, Moloch would chant, place an item her or there, the idol still burned, though seemed more to be consumed by flames that did not touch it.

A table in the corner of the room was struck by lightning and exploded into a thousand shards, some of them flying at Max and the other two in the room, Moloch did not flinch, but his chanting became louder, more forceful.

[Evil_To_The_Max]

*max flinched for a second,then diligently returned to watching kiara,ready to protect her*

[Kiara Johnson]

Just after the table erupted, lightning hit the table next to Kiara's, though not in the sense that it would have destroyed it.  The idol seemed to consume the electric pulse and shuddered and hissed furiously, then, Moloch ceased his chant and grabbed Kiara's now silent for, as he did, her binds broke and he all but tossed Kiara at Max.  "Now would be a good time to get her out of here..." He said, just as the form of the Shadow became solid on the next table.

[Evil_To_The_Max]

*he orbed back to their house*

[Kiara Johnson]

Kiara remained quite still in his arms as they appeared in their living area.  She was alive, thankfully, but just barely.

Max would have time to worry about the Shadow later; Moloch was certainly able to handle what ever it was that was going on in his home, far away form the two of them.

[Evil_To_The_Max]

*he layed kiara on the couch*kiara...*he gently kissed her*

[Kiara Johnson]

Kiara's eyes fluttered open and she looked up at his blurry form looking over her and she smiled, even if it was a faint and weak smile, it was a smile the same.

"I told you...:"  She started then trailed off, too weak to actually speak just now, but her eyes remained open, looking up at him, the smile on her lips though yes, tired, noticeably happy.

[Evil_To_The_Max]

*he smiled at her*I know...you should rest.do you need anything?

[Kiara Johnson]

Kiara closed her eyes, the smile slowly fading from her lips.  "You..." She said just as she slipped back into slumber again.

[Evil_To_The_Max]

*he layed next to her,closing his eyes,falling asleep shortly after*

[Kiara Johnson]

There was no telling exactly how long they slept, but Kiara woke with a gasp and sat up abruptly but then relaxed and lay back down, wrapping her arms about Max, as if he was the only thing in the world that could comfort her.
