Dusk-Lord Ch 3 P2

Instructions

The pool of shadow shifted into one spot on the ground, a simple blob that, other than its estrangement seemingly to all laws of physics, still emanated the otherworldly presence. Adria watched and listened without physical eyes and ears what they were doing. Jacen closed his fist around it and then his eyes. Suddenly he began grunting and you could feel the power of four celestial chips surging through him. He grunted and let out a sharp yell and grunted again. Then he opened his fist and held the small disc of chips between his thumb and forefinger. Four rays formed one and shot at the blob of shadow. Specks of dust began coming together and forming a body. The body of Adria in her crisp black suit, mask, hood and weapons all gathered into the blob. Her red eyes reignited the mask's red glow as Adria gasped and slumped against a wall as her body became solid in the physical world again, pain from the fight still flaring up. After this Jacen dropped the disc and it shattered into its four chips again. Everyone quickly gathered them except Dusk-Lord who was staring blankly. Five seconds later he fainted. Adria blinked and looked at the others, then at Dusk-Lord. Mark put the last blue chip in Dusk-Lords staff then checked his pulse. "He's good. Are you?" He asked Adria. Martin looked awestruck by what happened and stared blankly at Adria who had quite literally been formed from thin air. She nodded. "Try being dead for hours with your consciousness stuck in another plane of reality, then tell me how you feel when your body gets resurrected from nothingness." She said flatly, then changed to a genuinely grateful tone. "But, thank you all for bringing me back." "Don't thank me. Thank Jacen. This was a bigger setback than I predicted however cause now we have to wait for him to regenerate his strength." She nodded slowly, looking at Jacen and wondering if there was any way she could possibly repay him that would be enough to reciprocate for what she'd be forever grateful for. "You should get some rest. We all should." Mark continued. "We're all tired from the fight with Warlord. However, me, Martin, and Lee are hosting a meeting. You should rest. Also if the meeting takes forever, tend to Jacen make sure he's okay and don't let him in on our meeting. He can't attend this one. He needs to rest as much as you." With that he and the others walked into a room. Adria walked into the vacant side room set aside for her, testing out the mattress and taking off her mask. She flopped on the mattress and nodded off into restless sleep. They carried Jacen onto his own mattress before conducting their meeting.
