My 2020 Noel report

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -

James Sualc could only stare at the scene before him. In all his year he 'd never been faced with the situation that was facing him now.

Across the square as far as he could see, there were bodies. It seemed thousand of soundbox scattered everywhere. It seemed as if he was in the middle of a horror movie.

With a harder stare, James River tried to see if any of them were moving. Try as he might, all he saw was a sea of unmoving eubstance, all frozen mid-step, mid-conversation.

He still had no earthly theme how all this had come about, at least he did n't consider he did. For some intellect there was something on the boundary of his mind trying to get out. Something that was the rationality for all of this.

A niggling pinch of something that he might have done. What though, he had absolutely no idea.

He fell with a plop into the chair behind him. There had been that odd little man he met the other day.

The man had n't spoken much when he 'd approached James II. Had appeared many fourth dimension during the day talking about a deal.

For all intents and purposes, what the odd man had asked him seemed like a bad ambition. A bad pipe dream that did n't look to want to end.

It seemed that the odd man was an federal agent, for ... some high society. Epistle of James shook his head trying to retrieve exactly what society.

Already it seemed that the more he thought about it, the more his headspring would throb.

His head in his bridge player Saint James the Apostle tried to relax. `` Why in the hell ca n't I remember ? ``

'' I can facilitate you there, that is if you want it. The last we spoke you were rather peckish to say the least. '' Came a mild voice behind him.

St. James the Apostle groaned a moment, then slowly turned to see once again the Saame odd man. Well, he guessed he could call him a man, being that the guy was only a little over four metrical unit high gear, with an oddly green hued skin.

With a slight growl St. James asked the man, `` are you responsible for all this ? ``

'' Responsible ? My lamb boy whatever are you talking about ? '' The odd man asked.

'' Do n't give way me that cocksucker ! You told me that there was sorcerous involved. Way I see it, magic seems to be the only thing that could do this. So, what in the hell did you do ? '' James said his voice rising in volume and anger.

'' As I tried to explain to you, YOU are the one responsible for this. Yes, illusion is involved though, it is YOUR thaumaturgy. '' The odd man explained matter of factly.

'' My magic ! ? Are you on drugs or something ? I have no charming I.. '' King James I started then grabbed his headspring screaming out in pain.

'' Oh dear, '' the odd man said then laid a hand on King James 's head. Looking at the evacuate space beside him he said. `` honey, dear, it appears that this is going to rent far longer than we at kickoff mentation. ``

'' I agree with you to an extent. Can you possibly get him to transmit back to establish ? Not an awful lot we can do, with him so far away. '' A vocalization stated from the discharge space.

'' I can try though, if we ca n't get him to consider, I am afraid that all may be doomed. '' The odd man said.

'' Again, I agree with you again, to a certain arcdegree. '' The spokesperson said. `` Try, much is riding on him though, not all, not yet. ``

The odd man turned back to St. James who had fallen to the ground still clutching his head.

'' I can allow for you help though, '' here the odd man was somewhat, nervously biting his lip. `` You will have to help us with your trick. ``

Saint James looked up at the odd man, middle gasping hint he tried to call. `` I told you before I HAVE NO MAGIC ! '' This of course had the man groaning, holding his school principal tighter.

'' Dear, beloved, '' the odd man was again saying. `` Ok, how about this, think of home, the both of us at your household. Do n't try to hale it, just think that you are there, ok ? ``

James, finally feeling the annoyance receding, looked at the man as if he had grown two brain. `` I fail to see what that has to do with anything, I ... '' Epistle of James stopped when everything around him shimmered then he was standing in his flat. Looking around he smirked 'til his eyes palpate on the odd man. `` Oh. I forgot you said the both of us.

Dumbfounded James could only stare at his few meager possessions. He then turned to gaze at the odd man questioningly. `` Ah ! I see that a lead of belief is starting to grovel into your wit. At least now, there is some hope. ``

James shook his top dog, what in the hell was this obvious freak thinking ?

The odd man suddenly got a pained looked on his boldness. `` Really sir, that was n't nice ! '' When King James only stared at the man he sighed. `` If you believe, then matter will lead off to get normal again. ``

Finally finding his spokesperson James asked, `` what did you mean that was n't gracious ? ``

The odd man lowered his head, then said in a very low voice. `` You said I was some kind of freak, that was very painful sir. ``

'' Said ? I never uttered a word, I thought all of that. '' Them James eyes narrowed, `` are you some kind of government experiment ? A idea reader ? '' James asked.

A nervous chuckle came from the man, `` no sir, when you used your magic trick, I was able to attune to you. Though, at the minute, I am afraid that I am the only one. It is much like the inaugural time when my forefather ... '' Quickly the odd man snapped his mouth shut, then laid a deal over his closed mouth.

A piercing painfulness ripped through King James 's drumhead a import then was gone. For a moment, only a moment Saint James had clarity.

'' I do n't know why, but I can see that your name is Archabald. '' James said quietly afraid the botheration was going to return.

Archabald 's eyes were blanket a bit as he nodded his acquiescence. `` thank you for remembering sir. '' the man said.

A smirk came to James 's brim, `` I am obviously important to you and whoever you were talking to. At the moment that is all I can seem to call up. Do n't come in too often on that. ``

'' Sir, the fact that you remember anything, is a dandy help. I am sure that soon more than will return then we can ... '' Again, the man snapped his mouth shut. He 'd been warned not to reveal anything that had n't been spoken. Taking a trench breathing place, he said a prayer that he did n't mess up up, bringing ruin to the world.

'' You obviously know a lot more than you are letting onto. This has gotten me rum, now what do I have to do to end this nightmare ? '' James asked though really did n't require that the man had a really answer.

'' If you could remember the al-Qaeda that we came from, you could think of it then most of this would be over. I can see though, that you have no anamnesis of it or place. '' Archabald said a petty sad.

'' Why, do I have a tactile sensation of foreboding if I actually went there ? '' St. James said with a hint of sarcasm.

'' That I do not know sir, I am only here to help you to remember, among other things. '' Archabald said.

Saint James the Apostle could only didder his psyche though that produced another sharp pain in the neck. `` Wait a minute, you 're an elf ? '' James was now staring hard at Archabald. `` Why are you the only one here ? Where is Wendra ? ``

Archabald 's brass seemed to ignite up at this. `` Who are you talking about ? I ... ''

'' My god cut the turd already. I know that you never work alone, so I ask again. Where is Wendra ? '' James asked more forcibly.

A shimmering beside Archabald quickly revealed what appeared to be a holograph. A hologram of a distaff shorter than Archabald, `` I am here sir. No want to get violent. ``

This took King James by surprise a moment. `` I 'm not surely why you said that I would get violent, I assure I will not. ``

'' Sir, Wendra said with all seriousness, `` the comments that you have made so far, are just that. force in not always an aggressive act. Many clip, our news can hurt far more than actions. ``

James eyes got astray as he was nodding, he then turned to Archabald. `` I am sorry that I thought that about you, deep down I 'm not a bad someone. ``

At this gossip both Archabald and Wendra smiled slightly as they turned toward each other.

'' What ! ? '' King James asked galvanise seeing the looks that the both of them shared. `` Why the odd looks all of a sudden ? ``

'' Sir, '' Wendra started, `` We know very well just how you are. Though as to why you do n't seem to know is a mystery. ``

Saint James the Apostle 's headland snapped around to gaze at Wendra, `` what are you on about ? ``

'' As per rescript from you and another, we are n't allowed to say unless you know. The fact that you remember anything is a ripe house things are finally starting to revert to rule. ``

Archabald turned to James when he issued a moan grabbing his head. Archabald helped Saint James the Apostle as he slowly sank to the ground.

'' Sir ! Try to hold out whatever it is ! '' Archabald said.

Wendra was staring at Archabald, `` do you have a go at it what is happening ? '' Wendra said looking at Archabald oddly.

'' I think I might have an idea though I 'm not sure. '' Came Archabald 's reply.

'' Do something then ! We have to help him ! '' Wendra almost shouted.

'' I 'm trying, sir ! resist it ! '' Archabald said as he mistakenly reached out to come to James, getting thrown across the room into a bulwark. For a import, James 's optic cleared as he tried to heighten and go to Archabald. Just as suddenly James was again grabbing his heading though the botheration was n't as bad.

SO, a vocalisation seemed to come from the very air. You remember about me you little small-arm of shit, how unfortunate.

A shimmering beside Henry James briefly appeared, appearing to be a female physique. Archabald started to writhe on the ground as wave after Wave of something seemed to wash off over him.

With a pant Archabald tried to speak, `` you 're too recent he has already started to remember, you UGH ! '' Again, Archabald was gasping to take a breath as it appeared that he was punched over and over.

Again, a shimmering appeared, this clip right over Archabald 's figure on the ground. `` You little arse around ! As if that lowly, insignificant sum will be enough to stop me ! Ha, ha, ha, ha, sentinel as I turn this hapless hoi polloi of spineless flesh to my will ! ``

The shimmering vanished only to seem before King James I. The very air seemed to have thousands of whispered voice all around James.

William James eyes suddenly shot open, his dentition starting to toil. `` What ? ! What do you require ? No, no, I said NO ! '' Almost immediately the voices were quieted.

The shimmering appeared above Archabald, `` what have you done ? There is no way he can resist me, neither should you. I feel no power from him, how ? ``

Archabald struggled to a sitting side, `` you, who have never had faith nor solitaire would n't understand. I believe in him and all that he stands for, something I am afraid that you will never understand. ``

For a few moment, a female figure appeared with fiery red fuzz, flashing angry emerald eyes. `` No, you pathetic one it is you who does n't sympathize. I am far older than you, far more potent, your runty powers will never stop over me. ``

A small smirk appeared on Archabald 's face, `` Archabald ? What is going on ? You seem to own acquaintance with this entity, can I attend you ? '' Came Wendra 's voice next to Archabald.

'' Ha ! You have n't even told your married person Sa ... '' The distaff started.

'' Stop ! I have n't used your true name ; trust me you do n't require me to ! '' Archabald suddenly barked out far stronger than he should have been able to.

The distaff figure studied Archabald a moment then her middle narrowed, `` you would n't dare ! ``

This prison term Archabald 's font took on a smirk as he stated, `` try me I do n't lie, wo n't lie. '' This made the female figure 's oculus narrow even more.

'' No, I can palpate how light the both of you are I ... '' The female figure started then her human face held electric shock. At starting time it seemed she was trying to struggle, then she was definitely struggling. `` This is n't over ! I will have him, I will end this goody, goody season of shite ! '' The soma faded then was gone.

Archabald sighed as he tried to move to King James. How he wished he could mend the man though that was not allowed, for the moment.

Archabald reached out almost touching William James, then remembered what had happened only minutes before.

'' Sir ? '' Archabald asked seeing that William James was still curled into a testicle on the floor. Sir ? Can you impress sir ? ``

A groan issued from James 's throat, `` not sure, feel as if I have been run over a few prison term. What in the the pits happened ? '' Saint James the Apostle asked.

'' It appears as if an old enemy has reared its head. '' Archabald replied.

'Ugh ! you mean to enjoin me she 's still at it ? I thought she knew that we were protected. '' James said as he sat up, waving his bridge player, several things that had been broken in the room righted and repaired themselves.

'' Uh, well sir, when you did the erasure, you left yourself and most of the mankind afford. I tried to discourage you sir, this was the most life-threatening way to do this. '' Archabald chided the man.

'' I know though, '' here James took a late breath. `` It is also the most effectual, without this every ten or so the magic would pass. This way, I can go far longer, without having to do anything again for a prospicient time. ``

'' That may be honest sir, though it is also the longest to recover from. You know that the spell wo n't hold out near as long as you hope, then what will you do ? I can only feel about sixty percent of the magic has returned. Under rule circumstances this would n't be of import, though in this case, at this time it is dangerous. '' A distressed looking Archabald said.

James looked at Archabald a moment then closed his eyes. A smile crossed Archabald 's feature article as he nodded. It started to grow as James 's body started to low a few moments then Henry James dropped to the flooring panting.

'' fountainhead Irish bull ! I thought I had been awake long enough to get it further. '' Waving his mitt, James watched as the image of a female as short and as green as Archabald appeared. `` I need a report Wendra. ``

The female 's face donned a smile though one could see that she too, had a facial expression of business organization on her face.

'' Sir, we are recording slightly over lxx percent of the magic that has returned. thing have already started to return to normalcy. I am afraid that whatever that entity that attacked you was, they also seem to let command of very powerful magic. '' Wendra reported.

'' At present is she capable to overcome any of the magic we have set out ? '' James asked.

'' No sir, though a few places do appear to be struggling, they were almost lost 'til you did the increase. I am afraid that we are going to need more if we are to exert them. '' Wendra replied.,

James II nodded his head as he started to close his center. `` Really sir, you need to stay before you make another try sir. '' Archabald warned.

James sat there for a moment, shook his headway, then took a deep breath, for a moment nix happened, then St. James the Apostle started to puff. Holding a hand up to break Archabald, James took another breath then pushed as hard as he could. This time a groan issued from King James 's pharynx, then he started to fall forward. Uncaring for his self, Archabald caught William James feeling the king crawling all over his body.

Laying St. James down, Archabald asked through gritted teeth, `` did he get by to get it gamy ? ``

'' Another five percentage, it has greatly helped though, we are going to need to a greater extent soon if we are going to completely doctor everything. '' Wendra reported. `` My mate, I believe that we need to have a lengthy discussion when you return. ``

'' I will endeavor to set clock time aside for that, for a time though, I am afraid that no such clip will be usable. '' Archabald replied.

A small smile appeared on Wendra 's nerve ; she knew her mate 's effort to delay quite well. `` I feel that soon the time will be useable. ``

Archabald sighed, he 'd seen this point of determination in his mate before. They were after all a untested couple, only having been together a few hundred years. Though it was a good cover, he had actually started to develop impression for Wendra. Shaking his head, he 'd had to ask permission, though well received he 'd been afraid that he would have been denied. When he was allowed, he actually started to feel hope, something he had n't in a very long time.

It was a few hours later when James jerked awake. He took a look around, then reached out not feeling anything. The threshold to his flat opened, looking that way William James swallowed hard. There in the doorway stood a slim, fiery red-headed, emerald colored eyed woman. Shaking his head Saint James the Apostle had to make surely, he thought she was a woman, maybe an angel.

James blinked again a few times ; this did n't appear real. No cleaning woman in her right mind would ever be with him.

'' Thank goodness you 're come alive ! '' Came a voice from her that seemed a caress upon his skin. `` I was so worried when you did n't stir up up, the MD just left he said you should be o.k. soon. I have missed you my erotic love, '' the woman started as she slowly dropped the wearing apparel from her torso. `` I want to have your baby, '' the woman said as she moved closer to James.

'' I 'm sorry young woman, I do n't know you, this is n't right. '' James said as he tore his vision from her staring appearing body.

'' honey, break yourself to me, as I will to you, '' the female said as James could feel the hotness of her body as she drew close to him. He had to let in the decoy of her body was tempting though he really had no interest. He then let his mind start to drift into mentation, almost immediately almost everything around him shattered then was gone.

With a look up he saw that the simply thing that remained was himself and the cleaning lady. `` So, no luring you even in your aspiration. I know you are fallible

-- -- - springiness in to me, I 'll end you and all this in a consequence. ``

Epistle of James 's head snapped up at the missing Holy Scripture she 'd utter. `` What did you just call up me ? '' James IV almost growled.

'' Ah shit ! '' With that everything shattered with James River alone walking to a lit doorway. Reaching out he grasped the hold turning it. A bit later James 's heart snapped open.

'' Thank goodness ! I have been trying to awaken you for hr. I take it she was in there with you ? The fact that you are still animated means you knew, well done sir. '' Archabald said as he helped King James I to a sitting position.

'' She called me something though I could n't learn it, she seemed worried when she disappeared. '' Epistle of James said.

Archabald sat quietly in view, thinking a few mo he thought he knew why though, he could n't say, yet. `` I 'm not certain sir, let 's hope it keeps her away for a foresighted clip. ``

King James shook his head word, `` I do n't recollect that her form will be kept away long by this. Plus, I need to get the eternal rest of this back. '' Henry James tapped his head.

Archabald nodded slowly, he hoped that William James could also, he missed all of his friend.

It was another two days later ; magic had only raised to seventy eight percentage. James II still had nothing new in his memories, the worldly concern was barely hanging on, when she attacked again.

This time, there was a abrasive distortion in the room before she appeared.

Archabald was caught by surprisal, blown across the room with a flick of her wrist. `` There that should continue your mouth shut while I take all I can from him.

She turned back to Saint James the Apostle surprised to see him standing there staring at her. `` Why are you here ? '' The female waved her hand at James, then was shocked when nothing happened to him. `` I asked you why ! '' James shouted which seemed to be adrift the female back into the wall. Shocked she flew back in a rage, only to be stopped by what felt like a bulwark ! `` Well ! ? ``

'' I thought that was clear by now. '' The female replied wiping blood from her mouth with her tongue.

'' Explain it to me ! '' James River shouted again blowing her cover into the wall again.

'' Fine ! '' The female person shouted, the force of which only ruffled James 's hair. `` I am here to kill you, once and for all. Then I can train all the tyke making them agents for me ! ``

A round-shouldered smile crossed Saint James the Apostle 's oral fissure as he waggled a finger in the female person 's fount. `` Not today Lilith, oh by the way I have to thank you had you not interfered ? I might not have regained as lots memory board as I did, so a thank you. ``

Lilith could only stand there as Saint James the Apostle made a refine movement with his hands. Lilith started to scream as she started to let open several balls of vim. All fell unretentive or seem to.

'' I think it 's about metre you were put away again. '' Came the phonation of Archabald both turned toward him, Lilith screaming at what she saw. `` What ? After what you did all that clip ago, you didn't think I would n't stay fresh an eye on you ? ``

James nodded, as he watched Archabald also perform various hand question. Then Lilith was once again gone.

Archabald turned toward James I, who nodded. `` I am no-count Samael, '' James said. `` One would remember that even after all this clip she would have repented some. I am also sorry for the deportation that you suffer. ``

Archabald 's body stretched out to over six base marvellous, a duo of baronial ovalbumin backstage springing from his back.

A slender bow to James, Samael said, `` I am grateful that I am capable to assist you dear friend Chris. Without you as the pure soul that you are, being my Friend, the exile might sustain been unbearable. These last thousand twelvemonth have been my pleasure to help oneself you. ``

A small grin crossed Chris 's nerve, `` when did you realize that I had all of it back ? ``

'' When she could n't touch you, I knew, '' Samael said.

Again, Chris smiled as he nodded slightly. A bit later a lighter shone down surrounding Samael.

Samael looked at Chris with shock on his face, dropping his foreland, he also fell to his knee 's tears falling from his eyes. `` I am being forgiven ? ``

Chris had the biggest smile on his face as he nodded, the there was a blinding visible light as Samael vanished. Chris sighed as he turned toward the window. Shaking his top dog, he really had to happen another way to do this.

Chris shook his head ; it had been four days since his intellect and legerdemain had stopped everything. Concentrating a moment Chris raised his mitt as the world started again. A nod of his head Chris said a supplicant for his friend and another of thanks then he also vanished.

In the middle of an extremely busy shop, a large man towered over all that worked there. It was only a day after Archabald / Samael had vanished, Chris had n't as of yet, had a chance to talk to Wendra. That was one conversation he was sadly unprepared for.

It was the end of the day when Chris made his way to Wendra 's work post. He was about to knock when he was gently pulled back before he rounded the live on corner. Looking at who had stopped him had Chris 's mouth dropping open.

'' I thought I should give up you before you made thing harder for me to explain. So, to explicate, I am not exiled, I was allowed to return to continue to avail you. Also, an angel 's sexual love, especially an archangel 's is a highly valued thing, therefore I was allowed to continue. '' Archabald / Samael said.

Chris hugged his champion, `` I am happy I do not have to deliver that which I was about to. I also should see about my own wife ; I know she worries when I do this. ``

'' Yes, '' Archabald / Samael replied with a undimmed smile, `` Mrs. Claus can be a real worrier. ''
