Will had stood there, watching, as all knowledge of the Old Ones and the battle against the Dark faded out of their memories.  From Jane and Simon and Barney, the three human children who had witnessed so much.  And from Bran...  Bran the pendragon, who had lost and given so

[There's a man standing over him suddenly, reaching out his hand for the young boy to take. He looks rather worried- of course, considering there's a sea monster stuck in the barrier.]

Here, take my hand. We have to get out of range of the creature...you're much too close.

[beyondimagining]

[Will was still horribly confused by the entire situation. Why was he here? Did the Light have another task for him? A shift though time and space was nothing new to him. It was only the reason behind it that troubled him. But he would find no answers so close o a creature of the sea. If it was anything like the ones he had met before it would not answer to reason or diplomacy. The best one could hope for was to endure the storm.

He gladly seizes the man's hand and stands up, answering him in a light British accent.]

I'm afraid I don't understand much about what has happened.

[nos_servabit]

You've been taken here by the force behind this place. Nobody understand how we get here, only that they were taken without notice to this place.

[He gestures for Will to follow, glancing at the creature as it writhes within the barrier.] Right now, we're under attack from a very old creature from the depths of this place. We're trying to fend it off.

Taken? For what reason? [None of this made any sense. A kraken was a creature of the Wild Magic. But they had never had any interest in the matters of the Dark or the Light. In fact, barely more interest than they had in humans.]

Get up!

[ Naoya would offer him a hand, but he has a machine gun in the left and a sword in the right. He lifts the gun toward a tentacle that whipped too close to them, spraying it with bullets until it jerks away. ]

[Will hastily jumps to his feet as the tentacle sweeps close. As he does so he begins to reach in his mind for the words to freeze it in time. He would prefer not to, without knowing the situation. But it was best to be prepared.]

[singsforsouls]

Keep behind me!

[ Naoya puts himself between Will and the nearest tentacle. Blue wind blows from nowhere, whipping around him as he yells: ]

Persona!

[ A skeletal snake appears above his head, wreathed in blue flame, and darts out to strike the tentacle, ripping at it with its jaws before it disappears as quickly as it came. ]

[beyondimagining]

[And Will stares in confusion, Even as he takes a few quick steps behind Naoya and snaps out a word in the Old Speech to call out a shield of defense about them.]

What spell was that?
