(That makes sense. The sun stone kinda makes Dylan forget his morals and drives him raving mad. He'll kill without care if no one intercepts him.

High price to pay for a flash of light and some fire in his shadows.)

So which stone should fall from heaven and nearly kill Dylan on his way down the stairs?)

So which stone should fall from heaven and nearly kill Dylan on his way down the stairs?)

(I'd say either the Forgotten Stone or the Ice Stone. Avery's a bit too… incapacitated at the moment to get to the Eon Stone.)

Kaz jerked awake from his own snoring, rubbing at his eyes beneath his glasses as he looked over at Vaughn. He secretly hoped he hadn't accidentally woken him up. He needed the rest more than Kaz did. He squinted out the window, frowning slightly as he saw something in the sky seemingly moving towards them. "The hell..?" he muttered softly

Dylan slipped down the stairs, pausing briefly to inspect the well-constructed hand rail. Artemis must have done it herself, perhaps with some built in tool. For a murder investigation, she had a spiffy headquarters building.

All at once the building seemed to shake and rattle, with no apparent cause. Dylan peared out a window, but saw nothing around (He's on the wrong side of the house to see it.)

Kaz let out a small yell of surprise as the thing streaked towards them, through the window to crash right next to him. He shielded Vaughn with his body, coughing slightly at the debris now filling the room

A crash of shattering glass and splintering wood echoed from downstairs, and Dylan backed away from the wall of the staircase as shards of housing studs pierced it. He ran downstairs and found Kaz over Vaughn, shards of wood in his back, with a decent sized stone on the other side of the room.

"What the hell happened here?"

Vaughn had jerked awake from the sound of the crash. He gripped onto Kaz, moving him carefully as he quickly sat up. “Kaz? Jesus Christ,” he breathed out when he noticed the debris thrown around.

"Ow," Kaz muttered, wincing as he noticed the shards of wood stuck into his back. He reached around, pulling them out and tossing them to the side. They hadn't done any real damage, so that was one less thing to worry about. "You okay?" he asked Vaughn, a look of concern on his face as he looked down at him

“I’m fine, the pills are working. Don’t worry about it,” Vaughn assured quickly. He sat up a bit more, the pain now more of a dull, fading one. He turned his head to look at Dylan with a questioning expression before he looked over at the strange rock. “What the hell is that..?”

Avery woke up to the loud crash the reverberated through the house. She looked around the room, wide-eyed and her memory a bit fuzzy about the events from earlier. A shadow-formed fox lay on the bed next to her, clearly Dylan's work. He must have been there, then.

Oh, gosh. What did I say?

What had just happened? She wished she knew. If only she could get up and walk on her own, but even she knew what a bad idea that would be with the gash in her side.

"Don't know. Thought it was a smudge on my glasses when I first saw it," Kaz laughed, wincing as the small wounds in his back made it slightly difficult to move. He took a tentative step towards the rock, frowning at it

Dylan remembered the sun stone incident, but this was nowhere near as grand or as obvious as that. It seemed to almost fade in with the dust arund it, and even when the air was clearer, it looked almost natural. If anyone saw this in the wild, they would easily mistake it for a normal rock and forget about it.

"I guess it's just a meteor," he said, kneeling next to it, "A rather inconvenient meteor, but a meteor nonetheless."

"I don't think so…" Kaz said slowly, taking a few more steps towards the stone. He reached out, his fingertips barely brushing it before he went rigid. He fell silent for a long moment, and the rock seemed to melt away to reveal a shimmering stone. A stone that seemed to fly to Kaz's hand, causing him to almost fall backwards. He panted heavily, his mind beginning to cackle. I know something that you don't, it teased in a singsong voice

With a weary sigh, Avery leaned back against the headrest of the bed, closing her eyes again. She reached over and pet the fox by her side, slightly surprised to notice that it felt like it had actual fur but having somewhat expected it. Dylan knew what he was doing when he made it, that's for sure.

What to do, what to do? What could she do, other than lay there?

Maybe she should try to walk on her own.

No, that was a bad idea.

Was it really, though? What other choice did she have?

She could call for someone to come help her.

But she didn't want to bother them.

She was injured, how else was she going to get around if she didn't have help?

Ugh, why did logic have to be so… logical…?

Vaughn frowned heavily as he watched Kaz and the stone. “I don’t think you should have touched it, you don’t knwo where it’s been,” he said, words laced with concern. He swung his legs over to rest his shoes on the floor, blinking a few times to clear the blurriness that was stuck around the edges of his vision.

"Oh, Kaz definitely should have touched it," came a voice, similar to Kaz's despite the lilting tone. Kaz, or what had possessed him, stuffed the stone into his pocket. When he turned around his eyes were pitch black save for the actual eye, which had become a whitish-violet. A single, small black antler was beginning to grow from the side of Kaz's face, and he flashed a fanged grin at Vaughn. "Kaon, at your service," he said, doing a small bow

Dylan backed slowly up the stairs, with the intent of reaching Avery without alerting the… thing.
