I asked about his band. He was nice enough to tell me about them and, as Fate would have it, his fiance may be able to help me focus my visions, which would be nice.
And things seem to be getting worse with Dave. He has this sexist attitude that grates on my nerves something fierce...then there was the incident after the fight...but I'll get to that later.
So as we get ready for Biology Lab Dr.Lord appears missing a leg...talk about a HOLY FUCK! moment. But as concerned as I was I held myself back, reminding myself that he would not have shown up if he wasn't ok. It was likely to show us what can happen and will happen to us later on. As it turns out he had been captured by some Aztec's who sacrificed his leg, oh and Itzpapalotl, minor Aztec goddess showed up. I need to remember to learn more about her an the other minor beings of my "family."
At the same time Tepini finally contacted me to tell me they had found the lair. The coyote and bird stayed there as Tepini and Miyet came to get us. While we were talking about how to deal with the bears I had a freak show moment and my visions told me an amethyst was the source of all the misfortune. So after shooting down some bad ideas we decided to face the problem head on after asking our resident dwarf some questions. Coach didn't know anything about any amethysts so it was a dead end. Better to have covered our bases though.
Barry (oh yeah Dr. Lord made the others go with us when Sadie and Lionel showed signs of not wanting to go) lured out the two cubs first and they went down fairly easy. Then the three adults came and I was concerned but given the ease that the cubs went down how much tougher could they be? As they came charging out though I saw a cloaked figure standing farther back in the woods, smiling.
Freakshow happened again this time telling me he had an amethyst and OMG my head hurt until the vision dropped. I focused and was able to get that getting that amethyst would stop the chaos. So I had Tepini circle around behind the man, said a prayer to my father (slitting my wrist of course....gods forbid he answer me WITHOUT needing blood) and Tepini launched himself at the man ripping his hand off! It was the smoothest most spectacular thing I have seen him do!
When I took that crystal from him the bears shrunk and as I grasped it I felt the full force of it's power. My head felt like it was in a vice grip. I dropped it and Sean wrapped a sash around and picked it up. I decided to take Dr. Lord's advice on the sacrifices my dad wants and took the heart of the dying bear (the other had fled, and we killed one adult.) When I did Dave screamed at me about wanting to try something. Frankly I don't care what he wanted to do. Better to take this bear's heart then have my father try to force me to take a person's life.
Turns out this man is an Alfar and the gem was controlling him. Dave got a bit rougher with him than I would have liked...after all I'm a walking lie detector, and Jahi had a small break down of her own. She wouldn't talk about it though. Eventually Coach and Dr. Lord showed up and again things are weird with them. Coach takes the stone and hands it to Dr. Lord to examine...something with that stone is just evil, and dangerous. Dr. Lord had a flash of Mystery and said, "Angus, I swear on the oath we made in Moira's pub that what I'm about to tell you is of the utmost importance: Get these kids back to the campus. Make sure you're not being followed. And for the love of the gods, DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING TO DRINK!"
