Abnegation

Cees's transformation.

                                              -Wit and Lora walk together out into the village...-

Lora smiles happily "I can't believe we did it! This one's been so easy with you here!" she says, Wit replies "Yeah... you were right! Besides the whole possession thing, everything went fine!". The princess turns towards him "I guess this is wot you meant earlier in Castiel!" she coos, the white demon thought... then says without thinking "Yeah, we're better together! I kick ass and you... you're...". He turns toward her, her happy eyes were locked directly with his... "Wot?" she asks... Wit looked away "Cool.. Um..." he says quickly... The white demon realizes he has no place to run: his mission was here and he had to get her back to Castiel... "Dammit, uh... I just remembered how much you guys suck: it woulda been easier to get outta here if I could climb!" he says quickly, as he looked frantically around. She holds his left-arm and snuggles it close... "Don't be so excited to be a demon and crawl away again, try staying down here with me.." she says warmly, Wit looks away as he starts getting hot all over: he wanted to get mad and toss her off... but he liked the feeling of her holding him too much to say anything... Lora knew this, and his only looking away cemented the suspicion she had about Wit all along...

Minutes later, they leave Caillte a little ways... when Wit suddenly stops, causing her to open her eyes to see her parents!!? "What's going on here???!"  Earnest angrily asks, (it's surprising he didn't yell this question)... Olivera folds her arms, too... Behind them: a army of paladins were all armed and ready to attack, also... Lora then replies "I... W, wot are you doing here?! You never told me you're coming!", the queen sighs "We were coming to see you: your father forgot to tell Cees to send time-stamps, and you've been out for QUITE a while: we feared the worst." she explains. The two only now notice that it was evening already.. Olivera then asked "Now what were you doing?", Lora thought for a second and quickly replies "Helping Cess walk! He hurt his leg, see?". They look at the torn-pantleg around his ankle: it did look like something happened, but Wit's leg was already healed! Earnest glared "He didn't seem hurt just now... and his leg's fine!" he roared, the white demon quickly lied "She was helping me up: I think I broke it, but I'm not sure: a monster attacked and didn't leave much of a outer-scar, your majesty. But I feel pain on the inside.". The king was about to grill them further, but... having suffered this type of injury before... (and Wit lying so well/without any hesitation.) He says "Fine, then come with us: I want a full-report on what happened..".

On the way back: Lora and Wit explained everything, censoring out the demons... Earnest then replies "It seems as if something's watching us..." he thought of Neolla and how Lancelot's report said Lora had disappeared mysteriously before.. "It seems you've a 'guardian-angel'." he laughs...
