Editing Blake Thorburn (section)

===Execution===

With the [[Timeless Armor]] behind his back Blake is unable to retreat as Alister and Rose decide what to do with them. After Blake reveals that he knows their origins and points out that not only that their progenitor was possibly male but he inherited everything else she lost, leaving him with the most experience, he offers the familiar rite as a means of reconnecting but she passes on it because it would only allow the abyss to flow into her or make it easier for him to get to her. He then offers to be bound by Alexis but as he and Alister prepare to shake hands he gets possessed by Molly and stabs him in the hand, causing Alister to have to retaliate to maintain his image.

Blake is punctured by the lance of the Timeless Armor but manages to get away as [[Molly]] stirs up the Others to attack everyone and then laments that everything is falling into patterns and wonders if he should help the Behaims who were under attack and thinks he needs to read Roselyn's diary for a clue to his origins. As he encounters an Other gathering people and beings to throw into the [[Limbo]] and sees a Duchamp woman being dragged along he wondered what he was doing since he promised to stop the monsters but he wasn't sure who qualified and if he could trust his instincts.

Evan tries to guide him but ultimately they need the voice of someone who isn't going to kill them and Green Eyes points out that Molly could hear him so he calls her down. He points out to her that once their usefulness is at an end the practitioners will get rid of both of them and to make a change it needs to be a precision effort. They decide to go after Sandra and, after getting a fresh bone to fill in some damage, Blake decides to attack at a different angle while Molly has them distracted.

He has Evan scout out any locations where the Junior Council would meet while he and Green Eyes continued to move and discuss their past and he admits, after hearing the underlying implication in Green Eyes words, he's not good with women because Carl tried to use it to manipulate him. Green Eyes tells him that whatever he decides is fine as long as he didn't lie to her or tell her he never wanted to see her again.

They then get into a fight with four Goblins, two of whom willing submitted and sealed themselves like the Hyena did, before they caught up with Evan and investigate a barrier that only Blake could pass. This was because the oath that he had the Duchamp woman he spared swear prevented her interference and he goes in and asks to use their laptop to contact his family, subtly making it clear that if they had any husbands that they were unhappy with he could kill them as a favor.

Online he chats with the members of the council with [[Mags]] playing arbitrator and makes his offer before letting his cousins online in order to humanize them and then revealing he got seven names before signing off. He reviews their capabilities with Joyce and [[Lola Duchamp|Lola]] before leaving out to go deal with them alongside Evan and Green Eyes. When he finds them one of the enchanters try to instigate a fight between him and an Other, but he leads the Other towards the Duchamps and breaks off to deal with [[Crooked Hat]], who is killed when Evan frees the Other he had bound and it kills him.

He then rushes [[Gudbrand]], using an opening created by Green Eyes to stab him in a fatal spot and let him drop. He then tells the remaining Duchamps he has no quarrel with them since he's only killing the ones he was asked to by members of their family. Molly briefly appears and feels angry with him because he told Evan to save the Duchamps, but he explains he's chipping away by taking out the husbands. Molly warns him that even though he does that they still have other means of fighting and is fairly mad.

He then targets the [[pyromancer]], [[Carter Duchamp]], when [[Sandra Duchamp|Sandra]] sends out her familiar, [[Hildr]], to get rid of him. With Evan's help he avoided the Troll long enough to pack ice and snow into a trash bucket and then throw it off the top of a building, leading to it killing the pyromancer. They then continue to follow the group until they find a trap set with an Other inside meant to attack them when Blake changes the wording of the deal to set it against the Duchamps, before [[Maenads]] attack him. While Blake kills one, [[Jeremy Meath|Jeremy]] and his group surround him and they discuss matters before he calls upon his god to smite him when Green Eyes emerges and threats to bite off his groin. Blake tells her to leave him be as Jeremy turns to his wife, telling her that he's turning on her for some reason.

Jeremy enters into an alliance with Blake on the condition that no permanent harm comes to any members of the family and he, Green Eyes, Evan, travel towards them with the aid of two Satyrs. However, his sneak attack upon [[Mason Hall-McCullough]] and the [[Ritchie Brothers]] was ruined by the Satyrs letting loose battle cries since they were fond of Sandra and he ended up being confronted by the familiar of the [[Goblin|Goblin King]], [[Hal Spikedick]]. Blake utilized the familiar's weapons and strength to kill the brothers before stabbing Mason, but Evan takes a brutal hit in the process and is placed in his chest as he leaves.

He and the others, after a romantic moment between him and Green Eyes, then try to follow Sandra to Spellbinder, the last target, but it turns into an ambush with Maggie there who seems to have regained her name from [[Padraic]] and then betray Sandra for Blake, until Blake holds the Hyena to her throat, revealing he knew it was actually Padraic under [[glamour]] because of his reaction to Green Eyes. He demands that he returns Mags name, but the fae claims it wouldn't go back to her and then agrees to leave until all of this is over so Blake released him.

Sandra reveals she sent Spellbinder out of the city so he wouldn't get his seventh kill for the list, but Blake offers to surrender or even support her in the contest for the lordship as long as she makes a promise not to wed any more members of the family to men like those he killed, as long as change occurred. She can't make the promise, meaning that while he hadn't gotten his seventh kill he had gotten his seventh win and he walks off with his group.
