"I'm done with you!" Belthazar shouted in anger, kicking the athame out of Sed's hand and disappearing, not reappearing this time. Bishamon had watched from afar. "The mind control is strong, whenever it begins to wear off, it sends a shock through his vains then teleports him away... I need to stop his teleportation once more, but get his memory loose while he can't get away." He told Ali.

"I will do it next time." Sho said. "I.....caaaan stop that..You know of magic that silences do you not?"

"Yes." Bishamon stated simply. "Alright, I think I should go look for this key now. It's most likely in the underword somewhere." He started to vanish, then his figure returned to normal. "Anything else, before I go?" He asked.

"Umm....what about us? Do we just sit here and twiddle our thumbs while you go away on your quest?" said Ali.

"You guys can just... Do whatever.." Bishamon said. "It doesn't really matter, seeing as how I just need to find that damn key." He thought for a moment. "Try to get Belthazar here somehow, Ali, you try to 'release' his memory. Sho, you said you could trap him, correct?" Bishamon asked in order to confirm.

Sed quietly turned to leave, feeling himself to be the fifth wheel, wondering if there were any other villages nearby where he could find some work. He decided to walk away without a word, he wasn't involved with these people, anyway.

"How am i supposed to release his memory exactly?" said Ali with both hands on her hips and a disbelieving look on her face "He'd kill me if I tried to talk to him"

"Belthazar isn't as strong as he lets on, Sho can easily take him out, he took Vertis, no?" Bishamon sighed. "You drank the potion, it worked, you'll think of something to say when the time comes, I'm sure of it."

Ali blushed when she remembered the potion, she now regretted the day she drank the vile concoction. She wished that she had thrown it away or vomited it up after she drank it. She didn't want to think of herself connected to Belthazar. She shuddered at the fact that she used to call him "cutie" "It won't work" she said determinedly

"Your friend is nooooot himself. Give him a chance to come around." Sho said and then sat down and began to breath heavily.

"It won't work?" Bishamon questioned. "You keep trying to fool yourself into believing that, however, I know better. This body may not look it, but I'm pretty old." Bishamon looked over at Sho. "So, you guys can handle him then? I can leave now, and search for the key?"

She turned away from Bishamon without saying a word. She didn't want her emotions to be played with by Belthazar anymore, he hurt her more than once and that was more than enough.

Bishamon shook his head. "Alright then, I'm out of here." He stated simply. "I have no idea how you can get him here, but you'll think of something to lure him here, something he wants perhaps?" Bishamon left, without saying another word, he shimmered out of sight.

Ali sighed, then rolled her eyes and picked up the asthame "Here Belthy Belthy! We got your precious weapon" she waved it in the air. She sang the shrill note that called forth lightning and it struck the blade, causing it to light up blindingly.

(( *cough* Could have swore Lucid took the Athame with him when he left... ))
