Acension city

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed. "I...I might leave...unexpectedly...for a while..."

[Farewell]

*he looks at her and puts his snout on her head* "God sake why do these things happen.." *he says then looks at cynthia in the eyes and kisses her deeply*


*zaida chuckles still panting* "m-maybe a l-lot.. Heh"

*james was on the computer looking at some things on his facebook chuckling*

[Aconitum]

Acon stared at Ray a moment, her expression slowly turning to one of anger, then blind rage.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray put up his paws. "I-It won't be long! A few hours, maybe a day. I...I'm letting Magnolia have closure...Lulu told me - and I kinda found out myself - that she's still mourning. I-If I give her closure, she'll feel better. I'm sorry."

[Aconitum]

Acon calmed down a little. "J-just a day right? No longer than that right?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray nodded. "The summons won't last longer than a day." He embraced Acon. "I'm sorry...it just happened so fast. I didn't have time to tell you."

[Aconitum]

Acon hugged Ray back and buried her nose into his chest. "I-it's fine. Just as long as you'll be back."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray smiled. "I'll be back, I promise." He sent a mental message to Magnolia.


If you want to see you Rayleonarde again, read page 314, aloud, of the book sent to you. You'll only have a day, make it count.

[Aconitum]

In her London home, Magnolia sat on her couch, curled up in the lap of the lifeless plushy Rayleonarde. She received the mental message and flinched. She looked up at the motionless doll before she picked up the book Lulu dropped off and did as she was told.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray, still with Acon, blinked, and looked at his paws. They became slightly transparent, and faded fast. "A-Acon...I'm going...I'll be back soon." He faded completely.


In Magnolia's London home, the book's pages flipped rapidly, and the plushy twitched.

[Aconitum]

Acon dropped her arms and stared at where Ray had stood.

Magnolia jumped up off the couch and stared at the plush in disbelief.

[Rayleonarde]

The plush closed his eyes, and blinked slowly. After a few seconds, he gasped, and coughed. He turned, and looked at Magnolia. "M-Mags?"

[Aconitum]

Magnolia covered her mouth with a paw and backed up against her book shelf. Her paws shook violently as she stared at the plush. She tried to speak, but found herself at a loss for words.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray stretched, and blinked. "W-What's wrong? Did you have that nightmare again? I'm still here." He sat up, and looked around. "Huh...d-did some renovations to the bedroom...while I was asleep? Jeez...I didn't think it was...that bad."

[Aconitum]

Tears flowed down Magnolia's cheeks, her mouth still open to speak, but she couldn't get anything out. She stepped slowly up to Ray with paws outstretched to touch him, to make sure he was real.
