"Interesting. Electricity, huh?" White inquired. "You seem powerful, all of you. Perhaps it'll be a good idea for me to stick around...might be fun." He added, grinning devilishly.

Cassy looked horrified at White's comment. "This isn't a game. Thousands have lost homes and hundreds their lives. All so you can have a spot of fun? We're here for a purpose, I'm sure. We've got to find someone who knows who this common foe is." She said angrily, her hair rising up statically again like it always did when she got angry.
The tall blonde sauntered in amoungst them, smiling at them all. She was wearing pale blue stilettos and a flowing silk blue dress; one couldn't help but notice the diamond necklace placed unsubtly on her pale neck. She had blue eyes and white-blonde hair tied back into a stylish twist of some sort; this was the sort of person that would look at home on a fashion magasine cover. She examined her pearly nail varnish, aware all the attention was on her, before turning to face Cassy. "That's me, darling," she smiled patronisingly down at her. "So you did get my message, I assume?" she gave a tinkling laugh.
Cassy closed her mouth awkwardly. "Er, I'm sorry, I didn't get a message-" The woman shook her head. "Now, now, darling! Of course you did, you quoted it," here she paused, as if for thought, "24 seconds ago. 'A common foe', you said, my dear, in case memory doesn't serve. And I have your information about this elusive foe. But first- I am Zazora Cassidé." She smiled broadly, revealing her brilliant white teeth, and held out an elegant, manicured hand. Cassandra took it warily. She didn't understand- she was a prophetess, wasn't she? She looked into Zazora's pale blue eyes and what she saw suprised her; firstly, a imperial amusement, and mockery at the guillible child in front of her; but underneath, cold, hard, hatred. It wasn't aimed at Cassy, but it was there. Cassy pulled away her hand. "What is your power? And why do you hate so much?" she demanded. Zazora stared at her. Then she smiled sweetly. "Don't worry your pretty little head about matters above you, dear." Cassy looked angry, but Zazora raised a hand. "Nothing you can do can hurt me, child." She looked around at the others, "All of you; don't try and attack me, it will not work," she said clearly, and then turned back to Cassy, and smiled evilly. "I know your 'common foe'- his name is Zekeal, and he wants to kill you all," she smiled round at them, waiting for their reaction.

"And we should take the word of some random, hate-filled woman because?..." White trailed off, looking skeptical.

A flash of annoyance passed over Zazora's face, but it was so fast that it was easily missable. She smiled her angelic smile at White. "I can prove it." She closed eyes, and all of the group saw the scene that had played out earlier upon the roof tops.
The young man was standing atop a building, the blue sky stretching out before him. He stared down at the city that these 'gifts' had destroyed. Beside him, a shadow appeared, in the shape of a young women. You could only see her from the corner of your eye; looking at her directly made her vanish, or so it seemed. She spoke, in a low, musical voice. "Master Zekeal, you have but to say the order and we will cleanse this place." He shook his head. "Not yet. I know nothing about them. We have no idea of their strengths. We must not throw away the advantage of suprise. But anyway, it will be best to have them unite; then we can destroy them all together, it will save days of tediously hunting them. Tell the others to wait patiently. This is too important to make a hash out of it. But those who have murdered this city will be justly destroyed, like the inhuman beasts they are." he spat coldly, and turned on his heel. The silhouette faded into thin air behind him.
As the others blinked and exclaimed upon returning to reality, Zazora smiled at White. "He is deluded, of course. Of course you didn't mean to kill all those people!" she giggled. "Do you want me to explain anything else while I'm here?" she arched a perfectly plucked eyebrow at the group.

White suddenly felt stark horror and sorrow enter his body. "No, I...I didn't mean to do that...I didn't mean to hurt anyone, oh...oh God I HOPE I didn't mean to do anything like that..." He whispered, holding his hair and clutching onto it hard, body quivering madly.

"... Relax White... You have done no harm... Yet...", Khaz said softly, his thin lips curling, "... He did bring up a point, however, who said I would work with any of you...?"

Snapping out of his thoughts and after he watched that little scene, Sol looks at the woman, muttering a bit "I got one question, why us?" that had been bugging him as of late. As he looked up a bit, his crimson eyes seemed to glow a bit, not brightly but enough to be noticed. They seemed to give him a darkened look out in the open. Though in truth, he was feeling a bit cranky, his head was killing him cause it hurt so bad but he didn't know what was causing it.

Zazora smiled, but this time didn't laugh. "Because it was you that was picked, Soleiyu Mandalov." she said sternly. Then she relaxed again, and let out her tinkling laugh. "But why they would pick you, I will never know!" then she turned to Khazid'hea, and smiled at him like he was a little child. "To answer your comment, planeswalker," her voice went cold again, "it is because if you do not, you do not have much chance of survival. Let's just say that what has happened was not purely by chance. If you don't follow fate, then fate will banish you." There was an ominous pause. "But I don't want to talk threats! Zekeal Geldenwich must be dealt with before he is a serious threat. But to destroy him you will have to work together. Are you all content now? Because I want to give you your instructions on how to deal with him," Cassy frowned, "But- won't you be there too?" Zazora laughed again, "Of course not, darling. I have .. other matters to attend to. But you'll do fine on your own, surely?" Cassy looked uncertain again. "I don't want to kill someone I don't know- couldn't we explain the situation? That none of this is voluntary?" she asked. Zazora smiled again, "As you said, my dear, you don't know Zekeal. He will not be persuaded."

"...I'm a THIEF now, I don't kill people." White muttered. "I never...I hope I didn't mean to do what I did. I really do..."

Khaz sat back, his eyes looking over everything, "As I said.... What makes you think that I would help any of you? What is in it for me?"

Zazora looked irritable, her lip curling up in a scornful manner. "How long does this take to get in your heads? You have no choice. I've already spoken to another of your gifted companions. She directly refused to do anything I said- she could read minds, and thought she was powerful enough to prevent fate. Fool- I took away her already miniscule control over her powers. She became a shell. Her power couldn't see the point of being controlled by a person. It .. destroyed her. Do you see now? I," she pointed at herself, "have power over you," she pointed at them, "and your powers,". The she smiled brightly again. "I don't see why it should need to come to that. If you do do what I ask, then I shall, let's say," she looked thoughtful, "Teach you a little about full control over your powers. Such control, you could even live in a normal community without causing damage. Wouldn't that just be marvellous?" Cassie looked terrified. She felt, when she lost control over her power, that wildness. A sense of being nothing but pure, pulsing power. It was as if her power had a mind of it's own. It made it hard to doubt Zazora's word. "I don't like where this is going. I don't want to kill, but I don't want to die." Zazora laughed. "My dear, you don't die. You are destroyed, but very much alive. I can see how that would be hard for your little mind to understand but don't trouble yourself. The technical part is of little importance; you just need to understand it would be best to do as I say. Anyway, I shall leave you to make up your minds. It's an easy choice. I'll return to hear your decisions." she told them, and smiled happily round at them, before seemed to disappear before their eyes.
Cassy stared round at the others. "Somehow, I don't think we even have a choice. We'll have to do what she says. But I want to speak to this Zekeal guy. If she's afraid of him, maybe he's powerful enough to help us. What do you think?"

"...that woman was creepy. And I know creepy. I doubt "Zekeal" could be any worse than she was." White admitted, sticking his hands deep into his jacket pockets.

Khaz just said again, "What is in it for me?... I mean seriously, No one ever listens to the codex.", knowing full well his powers were never to be controlled, nor could he ever live with others.

Cassy was irritated at Khaz. "Why do you have to be so selfish? It's not all about what's in it for you, and anyway, she could destroy you if you don't. But this Zekeal- he's going to have a hum, isn't he? Like us? We have to find him, before Zazora turns up to check on us. How quickly can you guys travel?"

Khaz opened a gate behind him, "Walk through here, little shock princess..."
