"It should." Nothing got in our way. We traveled through the hallway in Sarandiel's castle and reached the main chamber, where they stood waiting for us, arms crossed.

Ivory approached them. "We need help, but I'm sure you already know that."

2016-05-22 00:38:21

🌀

They nodded. "He can't get in here. The doors shut behind you and they won't be opening again until I say so. So that's a start."

2016-05-22 00:39:38

●

"Good. The next question is /who/ was that?"

2016-05-22 00:40:24

🌀

"...that part is a bit trickier." They glanced at me still holding Seculus, arms getting achy and tired, and waved their hand. A pile of pillows appeared on the floor and I set him down. It looked like he'd fallen asleep during the walk.

●

"What do you mean?" She immediately sat down next to Seculus, her feet aching and slightly cut up from what she just endured.

2016-05-22 00:44:01

🌀

I sat down next to her and started rubbing her feet, the cuts sealing themselves up. "I'm not entirely sure where he came from. It seems like his origin was a mental issue, not something spiritual. As Madison started to catch onto, Seculus was trying to fight him off, and eventually lost."

2016-05-22 00:46:56

●

"And how do we get rid of him?"

2016-05-22 00:47:29

🌀

"You've partially succeeded by getting Seculus back. But like the other voices, I don't think he'll ever be /completely/ gone."

2016-05-22 00:48:31

●

"Then I'll make him go away."

2016-05-22 00:49:48

🌀

"Ivory, you can't do that. You could really damage Seculus if you did. He isn't as separate as the others."

2016-05-22 00:50:47

●

"Then I will do what I need to in order to make him separate. It's happened once, it can happen again."

2016-05-22 00:51:48

🌀

"He isn't as separate as they /ever/ were. It won't work. ....but you can subdue him. He did it to Seculus by putting him in the box. If you can trap him like that, he'll be easier for Seculus to control."

2016-05-22 00:53:23

●

She stood up. "Then I'll do it. Right now."

2016-05-22 00:53:56

🌀

"Hold on. Ice won't work, and that's the only way you have to trap him. You know that."

2016-05-22 00:54:54

●

"Then I'll figure out something."

2016-05-22 00:55:26

🌀

"Nothing you try on your own will work." They looked over at me as I rubbed Seculus's back. "You can still, for lack of a better term, 'edit' this place if it's damaged. If you damage and fix it again, you can make it so that the box is back in one piece, and around him instead, if you manage that amount of control."

2016-05-22 00:57:14

●

"...Then lets damage it."

2016-05-22 00:58:03

🌀

"You'll need to know exactly where he is when you fix it, too. You can change the damage and appearance of souls, but not their essence or location, so it'll have to be very precise."

2016-05-22 01:00:14

●

"If I can get him somewhere, he can't hurt me. At least not with ice."

2016-05-22 01:01:17

🌀

"If you're sure." "How do we damage it, though? Before, it was as simple as making a hole literally anywhere, but I'm pretty sure a squirrel could've blown this place to smithereens by now if that was still the case."

2016-05-22 01:04:00

●

She looked to Madison. "You tell me. You did it last time."

2016-05-22 01:05:18

🌀

I winced. "I didn't, Lucinda shot a hole in it. Apparently later she and Beckett fucking set the hole on /fire/."

2016-05-22 01:06:05

●

"Then we need Lucinda."

2016-05-22 01:06:23

🌀

"....oh god. The last thing I want to do is give her a weapon."
