Soul Reaver raises his left hand slightly at Asaki's comment about him trapping Blooddrinker, indicating that there is an innacurracy there. When she has finished, he states, "Actually, Blooddrinker's imprisonment is the work of the Magic-Using Orders of Dynaria. I cannot take the credit for his imprisonement. However, the others are right. Trapped as he is, Blooddrinker is under my control... most of the time. I am afraid even my vigilance lapses slightly at times. It was during such a lapse that he must have contacted you. But surely you realise that Blooddrinker did this only to sow dissent amongst us. Will you truly give him the pleasure of knowing he manipulated you so easily?" Stavarus scowls at this, but the madness seems to fade from his eyes. Soul Reaver removes the blade from Stavarus' neck, letting the Daemon-Hunter go. Even so, Stavarus speaks bitterly to Asaki. "Work for Khora? He is the commander of these Dark Legion, yes? Why would I aid the puppet one who made me suffer torments beyond your imagining, child? And why would this puppet want me dead? No, you are sorely mistaken to suspect my motives. I have told you what I want. I want the Warp Lord dead!" Though Stavarus' words are harsh, they seem sincere. Of course, he may simply be a skillful liar... Not giving Asaki time to dwell on that thought, Stavarus then speaks to Soul Reaver. "You say that you have the beast under control... yet how can you be certain? How can you be certain you have truly outwitted the Daemon Lord? What if he is merely using you for his own ends, and thus lets you and your companions live for now?" Soul Reaver doesn't reply to this. Stavarus had echoed a disturbing thought that had occurred to Soul Reaver himself before. Yet he knew he had no choice but to weild the weapon. To abandon it would be certain agony and doom to those weaker-willed creatures that eventually fall sway to its silent siren song. Besides, the sword had not shown any sign of having control over Soul Reaver, and it had aided him in its own sadistic ways countless times already. Soul Reaver knew he had to trust in his abilities... to doubt was to despair. Soul Reaver decides it is best to change the subject. Sheathing Blooddrinker's crimson blade, he speaks to Stavarus. "You say you know where we must go to next... so enlighten us. We will not get closer to the staff if we stand around here and bicker." Stavarus nods. "I shall open the Warp Gate to this world. I do not know it myself, I have never been there. I simply hope we find the staff quickly." Gesturing in the air, Stavarus draws open a Warp Gate. Not waiting for the others, he jumps through. Soul Reaver, shaking his head in irritation, quickly says, "We had better follow him," before diving into the pulsing, blood-red Warp himself.

Soul Reaver know strongly suspects the Warp Lord to be behind the the upheavels here... it is as if the normally indifferent Warp was being driven to malevolence by this beings' will. Sweating, with the deadly Warp energies licking all around him, Soul Reaver struggles to the Warp Gate that leads back to the Mortal Plane. He is relieved when he finally steps through... Soul Reaver appears from the shimmering gate suspended about two metres above the ground. Unfortunately, Soul Reaver's landing does not end as he intended. Rather than landing on solid ground as he expected his fall ends with him splashing loudly into a stinking morass. Muddy green water swirling around him, Soul Reaver kicks his feet and finds precarious footing on the mud below him. Standing up, he spits out the foul-tasting sludge in his mouth and gasps for air. Now that he has a chance to look around, Soul Reaver realises he is up to his shoulders in slimy swamp water. Gnarled branches and trees emerge from the sickly green goo in all directions, and thick clouds of flies and mosquitoes swarm around over the surface of the water and mud. The stench of this swamp is quite overpowering. Hair handing down limply over his face and back, Soul Reaver struggles forwards through the thick, chilly water to where the soaked Stavarus is trying to climb onto a muddy bank. Digging his fingers into the loose soil, he pulls himself up beside Stavarus. Looking up at the overcast sky, Soul Reaver dryly comments, "What a charming place."

She changes int a shimmering image of her original appearence. She walks over to Kawanua and gently picks him up. the Shifty white mist body walks over to the Warp then turns around.. " Yue... Can you please help Kanshisha? " Shenba turns to face the red warp. When she remerges from the warp she falls down suddenly, into the disgusting swamp with out even a splash. Kawanua hits the swampy water with a thick splat sound. " Well this is nice. " Shenba Glows brighter in the green marsh like swamp forest. When the light subsides She returns to her Dragon form only slightly smaller so she won;'t hit the tree tops. She frowns as the swamp water touch her underbelly. She then looks at Soul Reaver. " I am going to offer myself as trans port for those who still need some rest and healing.. Kawanua and Kanshisha do need it. You can hop on if you wish. But i cannot carry you all. " Shenba lowers her wing to the swamp waters level. Shenba yawns again. flicking her tail in the water.

Peterson emerges from the gate and falls into the swamp, but Cameron sees Peterson move downward upon his exit and slows down, sticking his head out of the gate and looking around. He looks down at Peterson, who is having a but of trouble navigating through the sludge cause of his armour. Cameron chuckles as he broadcasts a psycic message to everyone behind him. "Hey guys....when you come out of the gate, try and watch your step. That is, unless you're interested in a mud bath." Grinning, Cameron emerges from the gate and flies over to the shore, landing next to the wet Soul Reaver. Peterson soon drags himself out ofthe swamp and appears next to them, water flooding out of the emergency filters in his armour. He glares at Cameron. "Next time, you can go first."
