Ebony settled down in the cradle and was relieved when she felt Brett finally take off. This time she wasn't bothered by the feeling of the expanding distance from the ground up to the sky. As long as she, Brett, and the others get very far away from Vegas that was fine with her.
Now, pulling out one of the books from her compartments, Ebony thought that it would probably be a good idea to acquiant herself with magic in general. At least she'd have something to do on the journey back.
~~~~~
Delfina sat on her bed, looking at the tatoo that had now been melding into her skin. She had no idea how it could have such power to transform her into a gargoyle. It was probably a good idea to keep this knowledge a secret for now, unless she was asked by those who really cared about her.

"I must admit, that makes me feel a bit better." Doc nodded, smiling a bit. "Now, why don't we go back upstairs and get some grub?"
"All right." Raine dragged herself up.
With his half-sister and brother-in-law flanking him and Seth going on ahead on the course he'd laid down, Brett continued on to the site of the mountain, masked by Kathleen's magic. She and Shayla were hard at work establishing wards about the site.
<<< How about a time jump here?>>>

Delfina decided that she should get some rest after her second little misadventure. The transformation had tired her out to the point of skipping dinner. Maybe she can get used to being a gargoyle and a human at some point in time.
~~~~~
Ebony seemed to doze off for a bit as what she had done had tired her out. But, she didn't realize that she had a tracking spell cast on her by Bart.
(((((OOC: Would Kathleen and Shayla be able to detect this kind of spell? And yeah, a timejump sounds really good right now...)))))

<<< They would. Kathleen is a wiley old b****, is easily a match for Grayston ability-wise though she's not hung up on temporal power or socioeconomic status and is more like a shaman. She would have taken precautions to confound any tracking efforts. It wouldn't be impossible for Grayston, but damned difficult and time-consuming. Shayla is a tantric soceress just about to emerge from her chrysallis. Before she can really use magic, she needs one thing - a steady lover. >>>

<<< Sure>>>
It was nightfall before the sound of multiple aircraft engines were heard in the distance. Brett had called ahead and notified the humans, who used portable lights and flares to mark out a landing area. He told Sharon, Randall and Seth to follow his course up to that point and not veer from it, as the mountain was high and very close by. He touched down away from the zone set aside for the larger craft and watched as the three gyrodynes (or heliplanes) approached to land. Sharon and Seth were comparable to Shayla in size, but Randall was bigger, as his mother had been a jetliner. A mounted human used marshalling lights to direct them to a resting area just east of the main gate. They were too tired to do much else than release Misty and bed down where they were standing.
Brett let Ebony down at last, while stifling a yawn.

Ebony had woken up at that time and was ready to get off. Like an eager dog, she bounded down the ramp and back onto firm ground again. She turned to Brett, who looked quite sleepy to her.
"Thank you," she said quietly, "Better get some rest now. You look like you need it."

"Yup." Brett yawned again as he staggered off to join his half-sib and friends. "See ya tomorrow. G'night."
Kathleen counted noses and saw that everyone was OK. There was that rather problematic tracking spell Grayston had placed on Ebony, but the wards and cloaking field she'd set up would ensure Phoenix's nasty grandfather a difficult, time-consuming effort to get through it all.

"Night," Ebony nodded before turning around and heading toward the entrance.
She wanted to find Phoenix so that she could give the Trans Am the spell books. She found Phoenix sleeping beside the stables and decided not to disturb her so she carefully pulled out the books from her compartments and placed them in front of the Trans Am and left a two-page letter explaining in detail how and what she had done to get them.
Then she thought of the twins and headed toward the center court to be with them as she had missed them so much.

Before turning in, Sharon checked in with Masha and Kinsey, who had gone to stay with friends and relatives a good distance away, and listened to the radio for any news. She shuddered as she heard of an explosion and fire at the airport that they had just left. She wouldn't sleep well that night.
Tess, who had been watching the twins along with Jade, stood up as Ebony returned to the court. "Thank God you're back. We heard there was an airport just outside Vegas that went up in flames, and there were a couple of deaths."
Raine had gone to sleep on a cot in the equipment bay, where Doc had also settled.

Jade stood up too, but she remained quiet for the most part.
Ebony's eyes widen at the news, "That's the same airport that me, Brett, and a couple of friends had just left. It's Grayston's handiwork. He's trying to eliminate any kind of opposition against him. He had me cornered for a bit, but I managed to escape. He might try to find his way here."

"He doesn't come across as a quitter." Tess snorted with contempt. "But we're not entirely helpless here. Oh, and Doc told me we'd be having even more visitors tomorrow. Such fun we're having..." She checked one of the monitors to assess the situation outside. "We'll have to see about getting something together for them."

"More visitors?" asked Ebony, "Like who? What should be done?"
