Tobrias takes a deep breath, waving Coop and Eleutheroi to walk on. "As a citizen of Golthreia, my means are at your disposal. As head of the Guild and representative on the city council, I will support you when the time comes, with those resources as well. As an aid to the Decree Slayers, I will do what I can to maintain your privacy." He says, as if reciting an oath. A rather old one, at that.
"That being said, we must move quickly, or nothing in the city - nothing on Shards - will stop the tide. Eleutheroi, bring your family." he says to the Elf. "Sarah, your father will have to be involved. I trust you've read up on the Old Ones?" He waits for her answer before proceeding.

A concerned look comes over Sarah's face as she nods. "I will call my father and let him know that we need his help." At Tobrias's question in regards to the Old Ones, she says "I have, but it has been awhile and I would need to review it. Why do you ask?"

Coop felt like a fifth wheel as he listened while they walked, almost put at ease when Tobrias ushered him to continue on. This being the work of summoners unnerved him a bit, knocking a chink in the barrier in his mind of what had happened that night at his grandfather's farm just long enough for him to remember. It sent a shiver down his back that made him flinch. He glanced at Eleutheroi from the corner of his eye to see if the elf had noticed.

Tobrias waved Sarah to continue walking as he answered. "The Old Ones come from another dimension... they were locked in a slumber. When they were active, they forced the beings of that dimension into a living hell for eons. That these new summoners worhsip them is worrisome, since there was a school of thought that believed there was an avenue of escape. These summoners might have it." The Guildmaster looks back at the West Guild mansion. "We will need to sweep the city."
Eleutheroi look locked in distraction, by the looks of things, the elf didn't look like he was watching 2 feet in front of himself. Suddenly, he began to waver, as if there or not really. Snapping back to normal, his eyes still looked a little glazed. "They have been informed." Eleutheroi says to Tobrias, in a strained, tired voice, passing a look at Coop as he does. "Tragedy follows and proceeds all the living. It is a cost of life." He says, not quite sounding himself.

Sarah glances over at Coop and wonders if he is thinking about what happened with his family. Just in case, she walks over to him casually and slides her hand into his and squeezes it lightly. She then pulls out her cell phone and calls her dad to let him know that they will be needing his help and to meet them over at the Guild as soon as he is able to get there. Nodding at Tobrias, she says "I guess we have our work cut out for us."

" What the heck does that mean?" Coop said to Eleutheroi as Sarah took his hand, wondering if his flashback had been so transparent that hew looked to need comforting. He looked at Tobrias," So where do we start looking for these old guy worshippers?"

Hanging up her phone, Sarah tells Tobrias "My dad said he would meet us over at the Guild in an hour or so." She then falls quiet, as she waits for Tobrias to answer Coop's question.

Eleutheroi doesn't answer and continues towards the guild. "He just did a time trick." Tobrias says. "It takes a while to return to normal after that."
Tobrias says, as he opens the car door, "The Old Ones - remember that name specifically, Mr. Cooper, are beings of unimaginable power and evil. However, their worshipers are mortal, like us. There is no one place we can be sure to strike at. There will have to be a sweep of the city." He turns to Sarah. "This means the police will have to be involved, as well as the media."

Now it's Sarah's turn to look uncomfortable as she nods. "I see. Does that mean that my role as the slayer will also be revealed?

Coop stiffened when Tobrias called him Mr. Cooper, and took what they were told. He picked up on Sarah's tone and slipped his arm around her shoulder. " I'm sure we can come up with a good reason not to tell the world yet, especially in something that could be this big." Coop thought back to what he'd picked up from his readings. " Isn't there some way to detect the amount of magical energy this old ones cult would be using in there rituals?"

"If they were actively casting spells, yes. But summoning is a ritual magic, and is really only traceable when active." Tobrias answered, as they rode in the car to the guild. "I'm certain you understand that we cannot wait until the ritual happens." The Guildmaster adds.
Turning to Sarah, he says, "It may. The one reporter may just be a crackpot that we can use to our advantage to keep you concealed. We shall have to see."

Sarah nods at Tobrias "All right." She takes a deep breath and leans into Coop a little. 'Maybe it would be easier if my identity was revealed.' she thinks to herself 'No more cloak and dagger stuff. I wouldn't have to be so cautious about revealing myself by accident and maybe it'll make slaying a little easier.' As they all head toward the Guild, Sarah walks with them quietly, thinking about how this could affect her and Coop's life in the long run.

Coop responded to Sarah's closeness by wrapping his arm around her shoulder. With his voice low, he smirked," Don't worry, we'll find a way to get through this, even if it means I have to punch out a paparazzi or two."

Sarah chuckles softly and gives Coop a hug. She teases in a low voice, "You know someone loves you when they offer to beat someone up for you." Her tone gets a little more serious, but the smile lingers as she adds "I appreciate the thought, but hopefully it won't come to that."

" Okay, but the offer stands." Coop grinned. " What else am I supposed to do, let them harass you? Besides, you do most the hard work so it's the least I can do."
Playfully, he looked at Eleutheroi in the mirror," Are we there yet?"
