Aeryn had also dropped open his mouth and gapped in wonder. But, he also noticed the diss that Okandar had thrown at him. Vangbond? He thought coldy, and then looked at his 'sister.'

"Naidele??" He whispered, unsure what to say.

Naidele stuttered for a moment, still unsure of what to say. What could she say? For so long, she had thought that her only siblings were the other Keepers, and she knew that they were not even her blood relatives. She had never even contemplated the thought that she could have had real relatives out there somewhere.

Then she looked back to Okandar. No matter what her relation to Aeryn was, they could talk about it later... hopefully. Now, they had to concentrate on Okandar and the task at hand. He was getting what he wanted by distracting them. "That is not important right now, Okandar," she said, feeling just the opposite, "We know what you are trying to do, and it will not work."

"I am 'trying to do' nothing," Okandar said coldly, "I was simply giving you some interesting information. It's too bad that you two didn't get much brother/sister bonding, and now you will never get the chance. For I am going to kill you."

An impenetrable wall of Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Spirit- all the Elements rolled into one- stood in front of here. The boundries burned even the Goddess's divine fingertips. She had been trying for hours and she still couldn't find a way out. She feared there was no way.

She could feel that Naidele, Nakaida, and their companions had arrived, and she knew that Okandar had surely gone to meet them. The five of them would not stand much of a chance against the power sorcerer alone. To defeat him, it would take the two remaining Keepers united with herself. That was the only way.

And she could not help while imprisoned.

She growled in frustration as she continued to rack her brain for a solution. In all her millinia of being, since Creation, she had never dealt with someone so powerful or capable as Okandar. He was certainly a force to be reckoned with.

I'm back!

Khienro, watching the whole situation with the cloud of fear above his head, soon felt the rain of doom wash upon him. Breathing heavily, he tryed to conjure up the plan that had been haunting him, night and day for the past week. He tryed to sort out what had happened, and why, what he had read about in stratagy books and stories of war and victory. And that one plan always came back up. Now quite thankful for their mysterious link, Khienro gave it a try and preposed the plan to Naidele.

"Naidele... What I said earlier," he started to explain, concentrating on making it look as if nothing was being done between them. "Assuming you can comunicate with Nakaida, both of you... How do I put this.. Conjure up all of the power you have, and try to focus it. Put it all into one spot, until it overwhelms you. Then, aim it towards him. Then, keep on feeding more." he said this rushed, but clearly. "If it dosen't sound as crazy as it sounds to myself, just ask Okandar if he wants your power. I'll look at you as if you've lost your mind, and mabye even try to stop you... It'll be an act, of course." At the last sentence, andrenaline set off in his bloodstream as a strange spark entered his eye.

Aeryn nodded at Naidele's remark of not trying to get distracted and he lifted his sword higher.

"You won't touch any of the Keepers, filth!" He growled.
