I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
Backdated to May 28th

He waited until she was sleeping, until he could find Katima. Stuck in the Dreamtime the way he was, Avalon was all but helpless in that place. He couldn't leave for he was trapped, he couldn't move around in the Dreamtime due to being tied up.. but one thing that he could do was use his rather unique powers to find his lover and go to her through her dreams.

Unable to control someone's dreams himself, Dreamwalking was always a risk for him. If he managed to walk into a nightmare, he could be hurt - it had happened in the past. He could only hope that Katima wasn't troubled while she slept. Not sure what situation he might find himself, he slipped into her dream and then hung back a bit, waiting to see what he might find.

Ava gave Katima a gentle smile, and then went to twine their fingers together, his palm pressed to her own. Going to stand, he closed his eyes and took a big deep breath before he said softly, "Hold on.."

The world around them shifted and then fell away like smoke, and Avalon's hand just tightened around Katima's. "I.. I'm not sure what will happen when we get back to me.." he confided.

	As the world dropped away Katima's resolve settled and she tightened her grip on Avalon's hand. "Neither am I, but we'll figure it out. Nothing to worry about." Outside dreams, Katima's feet kicked a little bit, her body recognizing that they were headed into uncharted territory. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avalon lead the way, though as they got farther into things, the progress got slower.. and harder. Gritting his teeth some, Avalon's hand tightened around Katima's and he clung for what seemed dear life. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

What... was this? Malicor watched as Avalon's spiritual self (whom he couldn't contain) tried to cross back into the cell that he had the Naltorian's self locked within.

Feeling the rage well within him, Malicor sneered at the daring of the aliens before him and used his Orange ring to create a wall. He tried to erect it between Avalon and Katima, trapping one on each side.

	"It's okay. I'm getting all of this. I am." She gritted her own teeth as well. The whole process was far more painful than she had expected but not quite as painful as the sudden presence of a wall slamming up into her hand just where she held to Avalon's. "AVALON!" She could feel her hand being crushed as she clung to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"KATIMA!" he screamed back, though his voice was muffled from the orange wall. Squeezing her hand tightly, he clung for what seemed dear life. The weight between their hands increased though, and he felt his fingers slipping.

"You have to go or he'll capture you too!" he then said, his other hand pressing to the wall, his eyes filling with tears. T he last thing Avalon wanted was for someone else to be taken by the madman.

She knew he was right. She was going to have to let go or she too would be trapped and that would certainly not help the situation. Henry and Josh would have no resources with which to find them and Malicor would...win. The thought turned her stomach and reluctantly, she let go.

"I'll be back for you...hang on."

Even as she said the words she could feel herself pulling towards wakefulness and at alarming speed. Her body was trying to get her out of there before anything worse could happen and in the waking world, Katima was thrashing and screaming as her body came to.

Katima may have been retreating, but that didn't stop her from seeing Malicor's anger as it descended down on Avalon.

Without his ring, Avalon was powerless against someone as strong as Malicor. On the other side of the orange wall, the madman came storming out of the ether, wielding his power with a vengeance. Avalon was banded by several colors of light, and sucked off into the blackness behind him just as quickly as she was retreating. The last thing that Katima might have seen was Malicor's malicious smile.

	Henry was at Kat's door, his robe hastily thrown around him, as he checks on his girlfriend as she screamed into the night. "Kat? Kat, what's wrong? What is it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Katima hadn't screamed so loudly or so much since her parents were murdered years ago and she'd found the bodies. Getting out of sleep was difficult; Malicor's smile kept trying to pull her back, a sense of duty to go after Avalon even at cost of her own life was exceptionally strong. She kicked and thrashed, sending her hand to the nightstand and THROUGH the glass lamp there.

It was the sharp sting of that pain that woke her up, gasping as she fell from the bed onto the floor and broken glass.

"Malicor...has Avalon."

Josh isn't far behind Henry, just in pajama pants at the moment. He cringes as he senses Katima's injuries before seeing them and quickly rushes to help her off the broken glass and onto the bed. He then immediately starts to heal her. "I'll have you patched up in just a moment, Kat," he says, clearly concerned.

News about Malicor causes the healer to pause and glance at Henry before looking up at Kat. "Any idea where?" he asks. The healer's worry only increases now as he heals Katima.

	"In dreams...he has him in dreams...he's going to kill him..." Having never been healed of anything before, the whole experience is weird to Katima, especially because there are wounds Josh can't heal, the ones that occurred in Dreamtime. Her hand is sore and she flexes it, wincing. "I tried to hold on..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Josh's frown only deepens as he listens and tries to make sense of Kat's remaining injuries. Spiritual and mental damages aren't beyond his ability to heal...he just has to know what they are before he can try it and use significantly more power. Right now, still confused and a bit too worried about what he's hearing to have an easy time of figuring it out. The healer lets the lanterns speak uninterrupted though.

	"I have no idea what madness you are talking about, but that's sorta right? Avalon told me that Dreamtime is the actual place we go when we dream. He found me in my dream. Malicor has somehow imprisoned him there. We...we have to go get him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
