<hr/><br/>Maggie's attempt to exert her will on her surroundings works with great success. The path ahead is cleared out of the school and onto the grounds. It almost feels like she's physically pushing away the dark and critters.<br/><em>&lt;&lt;Ixy, you can describe the effects of your spell based on the results. You don't normally have to wait on me for it.&gt;&gt;</em><br/><br/>The area is cleared away of mist and crawlies. The air is actually a bit more breathable and the glow of the little glowing pixies penetrates the darkness more. There is even a tiny little cheering buzz from them as most of them lift off and fly ahead to light the path out.  One flies over and lands on Maggie's head from behind, it appears to reach down and hug her hair. There is a little buzz of indistinguishable words, but Maggie can hear it almost as clear as day. A child like voice whispering to her, "Yay, you did it! I knew you could!" Just moments before it flies off to join the others.<br/><br/>Cern steps up, his hoof stepping down and crunching a small chunk of concrete. "Well done. Very well done." He turns to smile at Robert. "I am not here to trick you at all but there is something out there that we must face in order to get out." He points out onto the streets and in the direction of their neighborhood.<br/><br/>The low rumbling of the freight train still off in the distance.<br/><br/>The satyr's eyes glance around a bit nervously. "I'm here as a guide." He nods to Maggie. "She sings to us like a siren's call. We could hear her from far across the mistlands. We will always come when she calls. We don't have time to stand around talking about this though we should be moving." His head inclines to Robert, "You must choose the way, whichever way it is should be a place where you are both called to. Is there a place where the two of you are.... united as one? My words fail me. A place that is close to your souls."<br/><br/><hr/>
