Restoration

Desiree is lounging out by the pool when she sees Khalus though the glass doors to the house, he is holding a necklace with a large diamond. Curious how he got such a thing, she walks in to confront him, "What do you have there, my pet?" Khalus quickly hides the necklace behind his nude form. The Muse shakes her head, "You know you can't hide anything from me." She reaches her hand out and telekinetically pulls the necklace from Khalus' grasp. With it in her hand, she inspects the large jewel, "Where did you get this?' She asks sternly.

Khalus looks at the ground guiltily, "It was for Emily. I had dropped when I came to confront you. I found it under the couch while cleaning."

"Well, it's mine now." She puts the necklace around her neck, "A fitting gift for your Mistress."

Khalus smirks, "It sure is." He snaps his fingers and his illusionary nudity dissipates and he is wearing his flamboyant jeweled clothing once again, no collar in sight.

An annoyed look comes over the Muse's face, "Naughty boy, but we've been through this, you stand no chance against me." She snaps her fingers in an attempt to bind Khalus, but nothing happens. "What? What did you do?!" An intense hatred flares in her eyes.

The trickster snaps his finger once again and the diamond necklace adorned by Desiree changes form into the magic collar. "I tricked you, of course. Quite easily, I might add." He laughs. "Arrogance can blind you to even the most obvious things. I learned that myself fairly recently." Khalus walks up to Desiree, "Now...." He plunges his hand magically into her chest, "....you have something that belongs to a friend of mine." He pulls a ball of swirling light out of the Muse's chest.

He summons chains around the goddess, binding her arms and teleports them both to his tower in the pocket dimension. Khalus walks over to the bed where Tonya's body lays still. He takes the light and pushes it deep into her chest and the blonde suddenly jolts awake, violently gasping for air. "It's alright." Khalus calms the resurrected Tonya.

She looks to him with confusion in her eyes, "What happened? I had this amazing dream that turned into a really horrible nightmare." She then notices Desiree in chains at the other end of the room, "Oh....well, fuck." She looks back to Khalus, "Is she....?"

" A god, yes." Khalus replies before she can finish. "Harmless now though. As long as that collar stays around her neck, at least." He fills her in on what she missed in the past week. "....she will remain here, imprisoned in a cell beneath this tower. You are free to come here as you please and do what you wish with her. It's the least I can do after what happened."

Tonya looks at the bound Muse with devious intent, "I'm sure I can think of a few things."

Khalus snaps his finger and Desiree is teleported to her cell. He then looks back to Tonya, "You can stay here as long as you like. There is a door in the forest a short bit from the tower entrance, it will take you home when you're ready. Now, if you'll excuse me....I have promise to keep." He vanishes.
