1170- the 'end'
It took the pair of them sometime to reach the circle as nether was as spry as they once had been. Once there they where greeted by the sight of an apparently young fey woman in a green dress chatting quietly to a large man in late middle age holding hands with a colossal teddy bear. 'The kids have come to say good bye.' Ev noted
Tara looked over at the three of them Luke was carefully pulling pieces of gore from the fur around the bears fingers.
‘I’m still not sure that changing his name to Crusher was a good idea, I liked my Cuddles.’
‘Always.’ Smiled Ev at her as he reached up with one hand to remove her hat and ruffle her hair with the other.
Tara smiled faintly at him and opened her mouth to say something, before she did Everard hit her over the head with a black jack.
‘Now that is being a scout.’ He said to the crumpled form on the ground.
From the direction of the circle came a growling but he had come prepared and tossed a bag of chocolates at the bear who after fumbling the catch (claws got in the way a lot) danced up and down excitedly as Luke open the bag and fed them to him. The Fey approached him.
‘Are you sure you’re comfortable doing this? We could just let her jump through the void gate.’
Everard looked at his adopted daughter and the pair of them laughed.
‘No but really, you do realise Helena will still be unliving even if she has a body to come back to?’
‘I tried it before with her old body and that was dead, all I want to do this time is give Tara a good send off into the void then reuse her body for Helena.’
‘But why send her pattern.’
‘Look at her, do you think she could make it at her age. And that is another thing, this whole aging crap has got to stop. So first bring back Helena, she should be comfy in Tara’s body they about the same size, then I become unliving as well.’
‘Oi Furball fetch your mum… yeah yeah I think we can stop pretending about that now…. We have a few rituals to do.’
