Paris, France

Raven sighs, "No, Topher.  It's not that simple.  Nothing is EVER that simple..."  She looks at him, rage about Archibald clear in her eyes, "Do you really want me to be a slave again?  Do you WANT him to get me?!"

"Well no but..."

"Then he HAS to be killed!  Since you haven't noticed, we Death Eaters NEVER stop!  Therefore, HE will never stop!  And before you suggest it, locking him up won't do anything!  Both Crouch and I have been locked in the Strayer's hole AND in Azkaban, yet we escaped!  Death is the only option for him!!"

"Well..." Topher thought back to when he had tried to free Raven. In a way, all Raven had become was his fault. He could've given her a better life he and Joachim had succeeded...

"I'll help get the mark off at least.. what you do after that is all you.."

"Do you know what this mark means?"

"Not even a little, but I know someone who might..."

"Who?!"  Raven demands.

"I'll show you..."

He looks up at the sky, "Like a good neighbor, Camenzind's there..."

Within seconds a elderly gypsy woman appeared before the duo, "Topher, I'm glad to hear from you again but please don't call me in such a annoying way..." Her scolding was light, just a pat on the head at best.

"And hello Raven..."

"... Who are you?"

"Well if you believe this joker here," She patted Topher's shoulders, "I'm an state farm representative..."

"But I am Camenzind, seer of the future..."

Raven's eyes widen.  "Then... Do you know what this mark means?"  She shows her the mark she now has from Archibald.

"Yes I do, and yes I know how to be rid of it..."

"And to answer your next demand, no I cannot tell you the last part."

"Why not?!"

"Because if I did that, the solution would no longer bear any change on you..."

Raven sighs, "Then can you just take it off without telling me how to do it?"

"Child, listen to me..." 

The old gypsy looked into Raven's eyes, as though looking into her soul, "in life, struggle is what makes us stronger. If I robbed you of what you had to go through to find your cure, I'd be denying your growth as a person. I can tell you where to begin looking, but you have to do the rest yourself..."

Being impatient as she is, Raven says, "Then tell me where to look!"

"Go back to where it all began..."

".... Does that mean... Eleazer's place?"

"You heard me right.."

Raven sighs. "Alright then, let's go!"  She says, even though she's still quite injured.  She's too angry right now to think logically.

"Hold your horses there!" Topher grabbed her shoulder, "You're in no state to barge-down-doors..."

"I'll be in a lesser state if I don't get this damn mark off of my arm!"

"We don't even know what it'll do yet..."

Camenzind spoke up again, 'That part I can tell you..."

"Then what does it do?"
