To Dispel the Demon

[Ricia]

"Probably because the situation is different now. He can no longer 'pull you around'." Buba told Beck, "Instead, you get to pull him around. To him... you are proububly the enemy. A threat to him."


Haven disappeared after that, though the gem was a bit cooler when ever she seem to return to it. It grew a bit warm in the absence of her being in it.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Beck had been holding the gem the entire time he hugged it before putting it in his pocket. "I... I don't want to be a threat," Beck told her "I... just want ... I don't know what I want,"

 

[Ricia]

"You have plenty of time to figure out.... one thing is for sure though, you need to learn how to give an order. However the order you just gave him now was a good one. Now i'm not to worried about anyone hanging around here." Buba said slowly, "Now... I will give you your first lesson in magic. Well.. actually..." Buba said stopping to think a moment, "Can you read and write?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"a bit," Beck said biting his bottom lip softly it was Sherry's book all over again. "Not... too well,"

 

[Ricia]

"Then it is time to learn." Buba told Beck. "Go a head and take a moment to get your nerves and help me set up a table outside." Buba sent a message to the children that it was time to come back.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"yeah... i mean Yes Madame," he told her and took a few breaths.

 

[Ricia]

"Answer as you please. Madame is my title and most call me by it, even my husband." Buba said waving Beck off and going inside the show and dissapeareing. Leaving Beck to set up a table and chairs.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Beck noded and went to setting the place up as neatly as possible. He looked around "Vin... will ... you be joining the table?" he asked wondering if the domon could even hear him.

 

[Ricia]

There was no answer, the demon was ignoring him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Guess not," Beck set up the extra chair anyway. H looked up to the sky it was rather pretty he was inside alot back at Master Furgus's home.

 

[Ricia]

Alice, Buba's child suddenly ran up. She was panting harshly, "I WIN!" She said suddenly loudly. Her eyes were a lot like Buba's, two different colors.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Brice was running after her "No fair!" he called panting.


Beck smiled she was full of life it seemed.

 

[Ricia]

"What do you mean no fair? Wiggle your fingers and become faster or something." Alice told Brice triumphantly. Conner came up a moment later breathing heavily from trying to keep up with the two other sibling.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"You know I cant do that," Brice whined.


Beck bowed "welcome home," he told the children.

 

[Ricia]

"Whoa..." Alice said blinking when the kid bowed at them. Alice then returned the bow, and so did Conner, though he was still trying to get his breath back.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Brice quickly followed suit "'good to be home.." he said confused.


"Ah... sorry ... I'm used to bowing..." Beck said he almost added to my masters but he had no master now.

 

[Ricia]

"Oh... Mom always says when you are in a new world you should try your best to mimic costumes to be polite." Alice told Beck, she brushed long blond strands from her hair. She looked a hell of a lot like Justice, while her brothers looked more like Buba. Conner nodded lightly.


"Oh are you setting up for school? I'll help!" Alice said before running into the shop to get more chairs.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I... don't know what I'm setting up for..." Beck admitted. He litteraly blanked and just set things up.


Brice laughed at his sisters energy he just ploped onto the grass.

 

[Ricia]

Conner was staring at Beck before speaking up, "You should relax. You seem stressed." He said kindly. He didn't seem that old.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Ah, I'm sorry," Beck said He tried not to stand as straight and loo a bit more relaxed. "Thank you lord Conner,"

 

[Ricia]

Conner seem to fidget uncomfortable when called the strange title. Their mother was EXTREMELY particular about her title. He didn't quite understand why. He didn't like it.


Alice finished bringing out chairs and such. Buba eventually came back with books and other such materials. Paper and writing utensils. With that she started to teach reading and writing. Conner had to practice the basics. While Buba has Brice writing complicated runes and Alice writing another language.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Beck was only lightly more skilled then Connor in reading or writing and his handwriting resembled inked chicken feet running over his paper.


Brice was very much a perfectionist if he was going to learn something it would be learned to perfection he was determined.

 

[Ricia]

The day passed a lot like that, just Beck being taught mostly with Conner. Common being the language she was teaching them. All three of their first language was english. They all spoke common as well, being their second. Alice was learning Elvish and Brice magic runes for spells. Buba handed Beck several books and told him at night, he needed to read them and learn the basics. She had to teach him these basics to even start magic baiscs.


When dinner was done, Buba left to the back to the house through a mirror. Thought he door was locked magically and Beck nor Vincent could even open it. Leaving Vincent, Beck and Haven by themselves at the house.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Beck tried his best to learn all he could he took the books greatfully even though his brain hurt alot. His night rutien was simple he got washed up after eating and sat on his cot opening the books and trying to read them. He was waiting on Vincent to show up he was a bit worried the demon was still injured.

 

[Ricia]

The books didn't seem to hard to read, in fact they seemed like Sherry's children's books. Vincent didn't show for lunch, dinner or the rest of the day after he had given him the order. As the night passed when he read, he didn't show up for his cot either.
