"Isn't...here." Esther blinks back. "Can you make him here?"

Athena looks at Esther little as though she has misplaced her brains. "No," she says slowly, as if trying to puzzle why the question would be asked in the first place.

((As apparently my post took too long and half of it was ignored, I’m ignoring half of you guy’s posts))
As the metal hand launched towards him in mid-air, Howl reacted quickly. He wrapped his fingers around his last rust potion and crushed it in his hand, leaving a cloud of instant-rusting gas floating around him.
((Let’s just say that the Shadow didn’t shove his hand through that, because he’s already gone 2 pages with hands… unless he doesn’t want it, then {The metal hand deteriorated by quite a bit, but was still functioning when it grabbed Howl around the shoulder. It managed to knock him over, but when it tried to grasp too hard, it was pushed to its limits and broke}. No-one wants that, so here we go))
The force of the blast had sent Howl back four meters or so, and Howl had landed next to one of his fighting allies, who had helped him get up. A bit sore from his short trip, Howl could barely react when 3 Firestarters approached and started assaulting Howl and his comrade. Howl's ally held up his shield, trying to protect both himself and Howl, and howl readied his claymore for an assault. It was then that Howl realized the pain in his right hand, there were glass shards embedded in it.
"Esther!" Howl yelled, not looking, "get the little one through the window!"
This was not too despairing, however, because a call from the Firestarter’s general rallied the attacking Firestarter’s back. It was the same call as the one before the last volley. Howl and his new friend hid behind the shield as best they could, and when the noise of falling projectiles stopped, Howl got up.
"What's this?" Howl thought, he suddenly felt a bit sick and had a sting in his neck, he put his left hand up to the pain, and felt an arrow there. At that moment one of the Firestarter's that had been about to attack him before was right next to him. "Oh drat" Howl thought, and with that the Firestarter plunged his spear through Howl's heart.
Death Certificate
Name: Howl Title: None Age: 21 Occupation: Potion-maker and Swordsman of the Sonambulists Cause of Death: Died in battle, arrow wound in neck, spear wound in heart. Descendants: None
((According to the passage of time, Athena would be getting jabbed in the tummy right now, and no-one would know that Howl is dead yet, unless you get creative))

"Can...I...have...my sword back?"
The Shadow clearly has to force the words out, and looks incredibly uncomfortable even with his emotionless face.

"Why?" asks Athena, turning away from Lailoken and to The Shadow.

((I'm not sure if this is allowed, but I would like to just withdraw my previous entry. My stepdad has had me cleaning my old room out for the past four days. He has not allowed me to come on the internet and check back to see how things are going. So, yeah))

Athena looked at him rather disapprovingly. "That's not a valid reason."
((...these posts seem to be getting shorter. Hmm.))

((Straight up conversation has that effect.))
"That is a valid reason. I've had that sword for years, and its irreplaceable."

"What will you do with it once you've got it back?" asked Athena, cocking her head to one side.

((you know what, nothing involving my character has really taken place. So I guess I'll keep going)) Jack looked on in bemusement as he saw three people disappear into what appeared to be a window floating in the air. He recognized "The Shadow" but not the large man he dragged in with him, or the archer that followed. Jack figured his fellow ninja might need help. He continued hacking his way through the throng of enemy soldiers until he reached the strange window. He lept through to see something he was very much not expecting. "The shadow" was standing there conversing with a strange woman, who was holding his sword. This struck him as very odd, because no matter how many times he had asked "The shadow" had never let him hold that sword.

"I will return to the battle and stop wasting my time here!"
He looks briefly at Jack, recognizing him as an annoyance who had some kind of obsession with his sword.

"But Branwen doesn't want you to go!" cries out Athena, abruptly distressed.

Jack is not entirely sure how to handle this situation, he hesitantly steps forward sword at the ready. "Umm, hi there. Who are you? And why do you have my friend's sword?"

She turns to Jack; something unreadable, intangible, flares in her eyes. "Do you know that the Orokosons believe 'May your life be interesting' a terrible curse?"
