In all the years spent in the Astral plains, Asgina's plan finally started stacking up. With the Aniwaya tribe dealt with, there was nothing really standing in her way, the astral plains will be her home no longer, she will roam the realm of flesh and blood.
The Cherokee tribe was the largest of them all, likely the Aniwaya was only a small sub branch, and the last one named Blair adopted by the Apache clan. It took a long time to wither them out, from the beginning when the Cherokee offered sanctuary to the Shawnee tribe, until now, almost a hundred years.
All that remained was the Aniwaya Apache named Blair, still a child, not much to worry about. Asgina sat up from her laid down position, her sister Kalona sat watching the outskirts with her green eyes, her black hair rough and unkept, here lies Asgina's trump card, no one would expect her to be the Raven Mocker.
"Raven"
"Stop calling me Raven!" Kalona said with a hiss.
"I have sent the Tsul 'Kalu to the Apache girl, but she escaped"
Kalona turned to her "It does not matter, the astral spirit Mai-coh has left her, this is where we should disappear, Mai-coh will now be able to track us"
Asgina giggled "Do you have a way of hiding? We're after all from the astral plain, she will find us?"
"Easy" Kalona said standing up "We hide in human forms, just as Blair does, this way we will be hidden from Mai-coh"
Asgina watched her witch sister shift, the form of raven feathers all over her body, her elongated limbs and scrawny body shrunk, until before Asgina stood a woman seeming in her twenties, the bright green eyes still there, but her mat black hair now at least kept.
"Did you always dream of looking this beautiful?" Asgina taunted her.
"Silence and take shape! I can sense Mai-coh's eyes wandering!"
Asgina stood up, her black with blue ghost like form was human like, but she was elevating most of the time. Concentrating hard she gave her form volume and weight then she dropped the small height she elevated at, Kalona frowned at her.
"Sister, you can at least cover your body?"
Asgina looked down, the human body she took on had no clothes on "What? You jealous?"
"Stop doing things that can attract attention to yourself!" Kalona scolded.
"Fine!" She said and flicked her fingers, a native american style attire materialized over her, making Kalona hip her fists.
"Seriously?"
"If we're going after an Apache girl, I need to make her feel comfortable around me"
Kalona smirked "The Apache thrust a knife into her chest nimwit! She doesn't care about other tribes anymore"
Asgina sank her shoulders "Then what!?"
"Look more like the westerners, we blend in with more people that way! In case you have forgotten that boy Wolfe is one!"
"Oh, yes, makes sense" Asgina snapped her fingers again and the attire became more western.
"Good" Kalona looked out over the valley again "The sun will rise soon, at the break of dawn we go to the nearest seaside town and set off for England"
"My my, it sounds like you're in charge" Asgina said.
"Sometimes your mind needs a push in the right direction, what do you want to do once we leave America?" Kalona said.
"I'll send a parting gift" Asgina smiled evilly.
"The Tsul 'Kalu?"
"No, he's more fitting to face her on a later stage, for now I'll keep her busy with the Bear devil, this creature will surely mean the end of her new friend"
Kalona nodded then shifted into her raven form "Let's go" She said tucking her wings in and flying down the gully.
"No fair! I can't turn into a raven you know!"
"Then start climbing!" Kalona called back.

Maikah realised there was a severe shift in time and space, the walls of the Astral plains are damaged, causing more people to enter here, and much easier for creatures to escape! This wasn't normal, it had to be the doing of something! The question is who!?
"Mai-coh!" Another wolf spirit came to her "Have you seen the walls!?"
His name was Tikaani, also a spirit that should have found an Aniwaya but couldn't due to their fate.
"There is a sinister force at work here, we need to figure this out!" Maikah said.
"The Tsul 'Kalu is out! This is most unsettling!" Tikaani said.
"I know, as for the werewolf, he is safe with Blair"
"Blair?"
"My Aniwaya"
"You found one!? Still alive!?"
"Yes, she met an untimely end but I rescued her by giving her my abilities early"
"How early?" Tikaani asked.
"She was only ten" Maikah said dropping her ears.
"By the ancestors Mai-coh, she's just a child"
"Yes, I gave her five years before I set her off to the werewolf, she did well, the wolf boy named Wolfe is now under her control, so we need not worry about him, but I couldn't be with her any longer due to the Tsul 'Kalu, it showed what it could do and scared the girl senseless"
Tikaani looked at the wall then grunted "This is bad! They will toy with her!"
"I know, I hope she breaks her shackles of fear and stands up to the darkness, otherwise we will all perish, our only hope, is that little Apache girl, Blair Blackmoon"
Tikaani looked over to Maikah with an uncomfortable gaze "I do not like it"
"Neither do I, best we can do is inform her of all her trials, starting with the ones that escaped first, do you know?"
"The Raven Mocker is gone, just as the Tsul 'Kalu, I suggest your girl doesn't go for them first"
"Then?"
"The Wampus Cat is also out, along with the demon dogs and the Hellhound"
Maikah shot a glare at him "Is there any still in here!?"
"A few, and the rest of us made sure they don't come out"
"Those are?"
"Snallegheister, Bloodless howler, Death cat and fire dragon"
"Ok..." Maikah said assessing the situation, best thing is to go for the smallest first, and that's the devil dogs and the Hellhound.
"I will inform her on the next hunters moon"
"Very well, then another piece of information you need to know of" Tikaani said.
"I'm listening?"
"The walls of the Astral plains are not contained within the Alaska triangle anymore, they fluctuate"
Maikah looked at him confused "What does that mean?"
"It means the creatures didn't all escape here or the Appalachian mountains, they are spread across the planet"
She snarled at him "Maybe you could have informed me about this earlier! This is clearly a sign that someone is up to something!"
Tikaani hung his ears "Before or after, they already escaped Mai-coh, there was no preventing that"
