As the ship, (Fastion suspected it belonged to Darius' Father or the father's friend), approached the Tower landing zone, Fastion busied himself speaking to a cluster of concerned voices over the radio. Well, Branson did most of the talking and supplemented what the poor ghost was trying to convey in his panicked squeaks. Echo had handled piloting and she set the ship down with such a gentle touch that he barely felt it settle against the tarmac.

Fastion stood from his seat then and gestured for her to intercept the crowd of medics gathered outside and took himself back to the crew quarters. "Darius." He murmured and stopped in the doorway. His friend was huddled about the body of the brother. Mathafew was just as much an adult as the rest of them, but he was small and it gave the impression of youth, and with Darius huddled about him, it also spoke of frailty.

"There's healers outside." He said pointedly and then waited a moment before adding, "They alerted this world's Baribus also. His ghost is here, and he likely is also. They're going to want him." He wasn't certain if the boy was conscious or not- rather hoped that he wasnt in case this went poorly.

Already he wasn't certain whether to encourage this attachment that Darius had or caution against it in case some catastrophe happened in this world also. But, his short piece said, the weapon moved back out of the doorway so that Darius would hopefully take the boy out to the medics otherwise they'd have to come in and take what Darius refused to hand over.

It was a mess. The mission, their fireteam, the whole thing. Still, being the more experienced of their crew, Salem and Echo managed to calm the tide of people wanting to get in and help. So many people, so many thoughts, there was no way Mathafew was ready for so many people at once.

"Easy there! Only a few at a time! Medics only!" she shouted before spotting the grim figure of Baribus Thatch. He marched his way up, his features set like the grim reaper itself as he stepped onto the gangplank.

"Where are they?" he asked, his voice cold and forceful. "Where is my son?"

Stoat appeared beside his head, a little cloud of pixels dissipating behind him. "He wants to know where Mathafew is," he said helpfully, looking over at Echo.

Echo looked at the two and canted her head. "Which means you're probably his dad, right? Hunter, Baribus Thatch?"

"Yes," Baribus replied briskly. "Now where is my son?"

Echo looked over as Salem glanced up the gangway. "He's this way," she said, waving him along as she jogged up the gangplank. "You're not going to like what you see, but he's alive."

She led him through the ship and to the cramped crew quarters of her ship. It was lucky she'd recently gotten an upgrade or she never would've been able to transport them all. With a few taps on a wall keypad, the door to the ship's quarters opened, revealing the three figures of Fastion, Darius, and Mathafew inside.

Echo frowned and led Baribus in, glancing back at him uncertainly. "Salem did his best to fix him up... but Warlock Light can't do much for fixing things after a psychic attack..."

A chill entered the room, weighing the air heavily as Baribus stepped inside. His golden green eyes took in the scene like a hawk surveying the horizon. It seemed they had just finished talking as the Titan turned to leave and found him standing there. Baribus didn't recognize him, most likely a new light caught in the frenzy of the mission. The second he recognized, though only by his jacket and armaments, was the one who helped Mathafew bring him back.

He didn't spare a glance for either of them though, his focus drawn to Mathafew, curled up in the man's arms like a child in the throes of a night terror. His expression softened as he knelt down, reaching over to stroke his son's hair. "Oh, Mathafew," he said gently.

"He can't walk," the young man murmured softly. "We didn't know the Egregore would affect him like this..."

"It's a psychic fungus that feeds on death," the hunter said darkly, "your commanders should have known better."

The other man's jaw clenched at his words but he didn't say anything. Instead, he kept his gaze on Mathafew, pointedly avoiding looking at the stony-faced hunter. Gently, Baribus slipped his hands around Mathafew, as if to pull him away, but he seemed to hold fast, pulling himself closer to Darius if possible. Perplexed, he loosened his grip.

"You must've had quite the impression on him," Baribus said, his tone soft and quiet as he too gazed at Mathafew. "I've never seen him hold onto anyone like that besides me."

"I had a little brother before I came to the tower," the young man said softly. "I guess you could say we connected over that..."

Baribus frowned and ran his thumb over Mathafew's brow. He could sense the man was dodging his statement, or the implications of it anyway. Before he could say anything, the young man leaned forward and whispered to the young psychic.

"Mathafew," he said, his voice soft and gentle. "Mathafew, it's alright. It's okay to let go."

To the hunter's astonishment, his son obeyed, his fingers slowly uncurling from the young man's clothes. In moments, Mathafew released the young man, allowing himself to be pulled into Baribus' arms. Stunned, the hunter looked down at him and then at the young man beside him. Now that he saw him properly, he couldn't help seeing the remarkable resemblances Mathafew had told him about. The narrow eyes, long nose, and contour of his cheeks. Yet there were other traits, one's so familiar yet he couldn't put a name to them.

"Who are you?" he asked, his voice a low whisper.

The young man pursed his lips, his uncertainty plain on his face. "I'm..." he paused, struggling to find his words, before heaving a sigh and shaking his head. "I have so many answers to that question, so many things to say that could explain..." He closed his eyes, grimacing as he fought with the pain of his decisions. "I an anomaly. You could say I'm like the Stranger on Europa... Someone from a different timeline, who came to make sure this one didn't end up like theirs. Like mine..." The young man looked away, his expression so much like the hunter's when he brooded on thoughts he didn't want to voice. Vague, roundabout, not wanting to confront whatever it was that tied them to this supposed time traveler...

Baribus hardened his gaze. "Your name," he said sternly, drawing up the young man's gaze. "Tell me your name and if we have qualms as what I suppose we do, considering how you hedge yourself, we'll say no more of it."

The young man blinked at him as if he'd grown two heads, but quickly regained his composure.

"Darius," the young man replied hesitantly. "My name is Darius."

Baribus felt his shoulders fall.

Darius. His Darius. his young, bright-eyed lad who caught fish to show his mother. His spry, dark-haired son, who ran amongst the tide pools, kicking up water while chasing crabs and sea birds, whose long nose and blue eyes looked just like his while his cheeks, chin, and raven hair looked just like his mother's.

"Darius?" he asked, reaching for the young man, his throat strained and dry. "My Darius?"

The expression on the young man's face lit up, recognition breaking through his nervous facade like sunlight through clouds. In an instant, Baribus had him by the shoulder and pulled him in for a tight hug which was returned with equal fervor. His boy, his son, his sea skipper lad, was returned to him!

How to convert sarees into dresses and other contemporary garments 

Converting a saree into a dress or another contemporary garment is a great way to give new life to an old or unworn saree. Not only is it a sustainable way of fashion but also allows you to have a unique and personalised garment.

 Here are a few steps you can follow to transform a saree into a dress:

Choose a saree: Start by selecting a saree that you like and that is in good condition. Consider the fabric, colour, and design of the saree when making your choice. A saree that is lightweight, flowy and has a good drape will be ideal for conversion into a dress. It’s also important to consider the size of the saree, you might want to opt for a larger saree to get a bigger dress.

Measure and cut: Measure the length of the saree from the top of the pallu (the decorative end of the saree) to the bottom edge. Cut the saree to this length, leaving a few inches extra for hemming. You can also choose to cut the saree to a shorter length to make a knee-length dress or even a top.

Create the bodice: Fold the saree in half widthwise and mark the centre of the saree. Cut the saree from the top edge down to the centre mark, creating two panels. These panels will become the bodice of the dress. The bodice can be cut in different styles to give different looks such as a V-neck, round-neck, or a sweetheart neckline.

Add straps: Cut two strips of fabric from the saree to use as straps. These can be sewn onto the bodice to create a sleeveless dress or to make a dress with sleeves. You can also use the border of the saree as straps. If you are looking to make a dress with sleeves, you can cut the sleeves from the saree border or even use the Pallu.

Create the skirt: Fold the saree in half lengthwise and mark the centre. Cut the saree from the centre mark to the bottom edge, creating two panels. These panels will become the skirt of the dress. The skirt can be cut in different lengths to give different looks such as a pencil skirt, an A-line skirt, or even a full skirt.

Assemble the dress: Sew the bodice and skirt panels together at the waistline, creating the dress. Hem the bottom edge of the dress to finish it off. You can also add a lining to the dress to make it more comfortable to wear.

Accessorise: Add any additional embellishments or accessories to the dress as desired. You can add a belt to cinch the waist or even add a scarf to the dress to give it a different look.

There are different ways to convert a saree into a dress. The above steps are just one way, and you can experiment and find what works best for you. For example, instead of cutting the saree in half widthwise , you can choose to drape the saree over a dress form and then mark and cut the saree according to the desired shape.

Another way to convert a saree into a dress is to use the saree to make a tunic or a top. For this, you can cut the saree to a shorter length and then add a band around the waist to give it a fitted look. You can also use the Pallu of the saree to make a top by cutting it to a shorter length and adding a band around the waist.

Sarees can also be converted into skirts, pants, and even jackets. To convert a saree into a skirt, you can simply cut the saree to the desired length and then add a band around the waist. You can also add a lining to the skirt for added comfort and to make it more opaque. To convert a saree into pants, you can cut the saree to the desired length, add a band around the waist, and then add legs to the pants.

To convert a saree into a jacket, you can cut the saree to the desired length, add a band around the waist, and then add sleeves to the jacket. You can also add a collar or a hood to the jacket to give it a different look.

It's important to keep in mind that when converting a saree into a dress, top, skirt or pants, it's essential to consider the draping and fall of the saree, as well as the pattern, design, and the placement of any embellishments on the saree. It's also essential to consider how the saree will lay on the body and how it will move when worn.

Conclusion

In conclusion, converting a saree into a dress or another contemporary garment is a great way to give new life to an old or unworn saree. It's a sustainable way of fashion and also allows you to have a unique and personalised garment. With a little creativity and a bit of sewing, you can create a variety of contemporary garments from an old saree, including dresses, skirts, pants, tops, and even jackets.

"You can't lie to my face like that." ~ Fastion

Darius looked aghast. "Me? What? Lie?" he held his hands out, his golden hues trying to look as innocent as they could before the raven-haired man changed tactics.

He looked up at the ship he had eying, his hand resting on the side of its nose. If he tried to jump into the cockpit now, Fastion would have him in a vice grip before he could blink. The Black Shield was no joke and he doubted Branson would be willing to talk Fastion down from folding him in half and sitting on him until he talked.

Better play it safe.

"Alright, alright, yeah I can't lie to you. But let's be honest, that doesn't mean I have to tell you everything either. But before you ask, no it's not about Xivu Arath. Well, maybe a bit but I'm really just taking this for a fly around to get my head clear. It's bad enough I get Mathafew in my head when I have... dreams about her and what happened. I just need some sky time to breathe, okay?"

He hoped that would explain it, his need to get away, to distance himself from what he was afraid to grasp. Fear was driving him nuts... and he knew Xivu was feeding on it, ready to pounce and prey on him through it.
