He'd need a host. And for all we know, the last true treeguards died in the burning of his kingdom. All that's left are drones, and those things are too mindless to act as hosts.

Maxwell shakes his head.

This is part of the big picture, Kate. These are the facts you have to grow to accept.

Good. Now come, we're going to meet the others. Or at least you are.

Maxwell steps down the stairs, and two men are seen.

???1: I thought I heard you! Where have you been, Max?

???2: Maxwell! You're being followed!

The second stranger points at Maxwell, and a large burst of fire erupts from it's tip. Maxwell summons a shadow hand to block it. The second stranger dips his finger in a bucket of cool water, sighing with relief. A third voice is heard from an unseen source.

"Why'd you block that, Will? And who are your guests?"

Maxwell leaves most of the questions hanging while he stands beside the two strangers.

These two are Simon and Joseph.

He gestures to Simon and Joseph respectively.

Simon: Hiya. Sorry for trying to torch you guys.

Joseph: 'Sup.

The mysterious voice pipes up again.

"Excuse me."

Maxwell picks up a snail.

And this is Shelby. Resistance, these are Kate, Dewdrop, Rainbow Scars, Snowfall, and Cat.

Joseph laughs at Simon

Joseph: Hah! Someone didn't get a greeting!

Simon rolls his eyes.

Simon: Knock it off.

Shelby: Hello. I assume you're with Wi...Maxwell? And he still hasn't answered my question.

Shelby glares mockingly (as best as a snail can) at Maxwell, and Maxwell smiles back. His smile isn't his usual smug one, but one of kindness, of goodhearted amusement.

I got out of the throne. Don't have to worry about Them watching every step I take anymore.

The group lets out a small gasp.

Simon & Joseph: You got out?!?

Simon grins at Dewdrop.

Shelby: It's a good thing that he's off. And a bad thing. The nightmare throne supplies... er... Maxwell with power. But it also means that he's trapped with a bunch of shadow demons. Now that he's free, he's away from the shadow demons, but he doesn't have much power anymore.

Watch your mouth, snail.

Shelby: That's awfully rude.

Joseph: Riiiight... Point is, he can come visit us a lot more often.

Anyway, we've come to collect you. We're going to get Charlie. She's been condemned to the shadows, so we need you.

Simon: Well, it sure as hecka beats sittin' here all day.

Joseph: Sure. Let's go.

Shelby: Am I the only one here who thinks this is remotely dangerous?

Maxwell surveys the group.

Oh, right, one more thing. Can I have the ice claws, Simon?

Simon: Sure thing.

Simon walks to a closet, and grabs a set of clawed gloves that seem to be made of ice. He hands them to Maxwell, who hands them to Kate.

These are yours.

Kate: "SWEEEET!!!"

*she puts them on*

"I'm going to be so BAD FREAKING ASS WITH THESE!!!"

Ben: "calm down Kate."

Snowfall: *Walks up to Joesph*

"Is this going to be dangerous?"

Dewdrop: *Walks towards Simon*

"Don't be pulling any of dat fire stuff with me, else you are in a fight you can't win."

(Asking, is Joesph the same Joesph in Shadowfall?)

(Remotely kinda. Same general abilities, just switching up the backstory a bit.)

Joseph: Could be. Everything we do is dangerous. That's why they call us the resistance... That didn't make sense. You know what, just scratch that.

Simon keeps the grin on his face, peering at Dewdrop.

Simon: Well, good thing we're on the same team then, or else some serious sheet would be going down.

Alright, people, are we all ready?

Shelby: What does it look like to you?

Shut up.

Shelby: make me.

Maxwell pokes Shelby so that he's lying on his side helplessly.

Shelby: Okay! Okay! Pick me up!

Shelby nods his respect to Ben

Shelby: Hear that? You're a jerk. A big fat jeeeeeeerk.

Maxwell laughs.

Simon: Yeah, listen to Rainbow Scones!

Joseph steps next to Simon, rolling his eyes.

Joseph: Shut up, Simon, you're not making the situation any better. And it's Scars. Rainbow Scars.

Alright, everybody, let's get a move on.

A shadow hand sticks it's palm out in front of Dewdrop's hand that holds Shelby, and he crawls into the hand. It plops him onto Maxwell's shoulder. Maxwell begins going up the steps, and the resistance follows.

Scars: "thank you Joesph."

Dewdrop: "I still can't trust you. You have fire. I don't like fire."

Snowfall: *sighs and facepalms*

"Lets just stop talking about that. We have to trust these men because they are going to get us out of this place."

Kate and Ben: *follow the Resistence out*

Joseph nods, and Simon looks at Scars' tattered wings.

Simon: I might be able to heal some of those scars for you. Not all of them, but some of them are fresh enough to close.

Joseph: yeah, yeah, let's just go. Don't want Max getting impatient.

Shelby: So, Kate, I've heard quite a bit about you. Where's that tree that always goes with you?
