between the shadows and the soul

[Jason]

Jason was asleep in the Cove alongside Voudou. She had kept him warm and calm since Fiasko’s death. It had all been misery- air, life, love. It all hurt yet Voudou made it better. She brought bits of joy, and gave him reasons to continue. Jason was dreaming of better days when a light sound began to interrupt the pleasant song of a blue jay that had landed beside him in his dream. Initially it felt like a tiny bell was being rung in his ears. Slowly it grew in volume until it sounded like a gong had gone off beside him. Years ago Jason had placed an alarm in the Gates tree. After its first destruction Jason wished to make sure that it wouldn’t happen again. So as it burned so did the wretched ringing go off in his head. It took a moment for Jason to rise from his sleep and register what was happening so far away. The adrenaline on the other hand spiked within him as soon as the second alarm had hit his ears. He could feel the blood begin to coarse through his body. Jason swung his head over and placed a light kiss upon Voudou’s cheek before he disappeared. It took little magic for him to vaporize and reappear along the Gates border. Once his eyes adjusted he spotted a fiery spirit fly away into the distance- leaving behind a terrible mess. Jason had been slowly retaining his magic and building his strength while in the cove so with little thought thunder clouds came pouring into the area. Jason closed his eyes and concentrated until floods of water poured from the clouds. They covered the Gates, and disengaged any fires that lingered through the kingdom. Next Jason ran to the center mother tree. It was there he saw Prague- an old friend, and another stallion. ”My god..Thank you!” He said in between breaths. The tree had been saved- and it was clearly due to their efforts. Next Jason concentrated once more. He pulled a thick shield over the Gates. Within the Shield hung heavy rain clouds that would act like a sort of sprinkler system. There may be little sunlight for now- but this would do. jason magical son of eol and ashling
