TMNT in the Land of Mystics

"I either need to brush up on my spells, find an item to magically concentrate my energy or recharge my glamour because i feel utterly useless in the situation." Grumbled Hailey. "What happened to your brothers?"

"Hecate has them locked up somewhere," said Venus. "I have to find a mind reading spell." Suddenly, the book flipped open. "Exactly what I need. Now I jsut have to touch her without waking her up."

"Uuhm, good luck. If you want, I can whack her over the head with a stick if she wakes up," Hailey said with a nervous chuckle.

"Good plan, actually," said Venus, timidly approaching the goddess. "I wish Donnie was here."

"I wish anybody was here. It's like they all up'n vanished!" Hailey exclaimed, grabbing a long branch a few feet away and pulling smaller twigs off of it. "So it's just us for the next while."

"Yeah, I guess it is," said Venus, solemnly. Where had George...or Henry...where had they run off to? The kunoichi kneeled down and lightly placed her hands on Hecate's head. "Aperta mentis aperta anima aperta cogitationes."

Hailey brandished her stick, waiting for the reaction.

Venus's eye's lit up seeing Hecate's thought. The goddess stirred slightly, but did not wake up.

Hailey let out a relieved breath, leaning on the stick and waiting for Venus to get the information.

Venus was trapped, almost captivated by Hecate's magic. She had the information, she was just fighting to get out, but she was almost there.

"I'm guessing the info was buried deep," Hailey murmured, looking at the time-piece around her neck.

Finally, Venus fought her way out, "Yes, I almost drowned in her thoughts. Come on, there's a tree with an underground entrance that leads to where she's holding them. Come on.'

"That's so cliche," Hailey muttered. "Somebody should have a base somewhere original for once. Like a resort in Hawaii."

"That would be amazing," said Venus. "I think I saw a show where it was in a volcano in Hawaii."

"Even that would be better," Hailey agreed. "Somewhere warm and sunny. Hawaii or Mexico, either way, I'm so not complaining."

Venus giggled and then made a sharp turn, "This way to cliche base!"

'Aye aye, Cap'n!" chuckled Hailey. "Hi ho, hi ho, to Cliche base we go!"

Venus cackled. Her brothers were safe and she was on her way to getting them home safely. Not to mention, they had the book back!

"So... which tree? They all look alike to me." asked Hailey.

"Me too," said Venus. "The memory is getting foggy, but it's in the circular area. Start digging at tree bases looking for loose dirt and doors."

"Uhm, I'll do it like this." Hailey took a breath for dramatic effect. "revelare ostium ad cliche basi!" With that, a large pile of dirt appeared next to a hollow at the base of a rather large old tree.

"Effective!" said Venus. "I guess I'm not used to the whole magic thing yet...heheh."

"That's fine, I was training for ten years before I became this good, and without spells or glamour I'm pretty useless." shrugged Hailey, ducking into the hollow. "I just know I'm gonna get lost down here."

"Lumos," Venus tried. Her mark glowed brightly. "Thank-you, Harry Potter." Venus began lightly down the steps.

"Much better. Nice one," Hailey grinned.
