Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aku also takes off her cloak reveling her burnt dress, however she didn't seem to mind as she laid down in the soft grass. "The wind...smells so nice.." She comments with a smile as she glances to the clouds. Hearing Tarik, she looks over to him,"There was a image that flashed, however I wasn't able to talk to him since I was woken up. The image showed a cherry blossom tree...yet it's bark was stained with blood." She informs him, recalling the scene perfectly. "Ahhh..what a treat. Thank you." Aku says seeing the two brothers prepare their meal.

Ryuu glances towards the hide they used to store the blood, without much thought she walks over and picks it up. Sipping a small bit for taste, then a bit more to satisfy her thirst. Then gave the hide back, having a bit of blood on her lips. Tatsuko, smelling the aroma, quickly wakes up and glides down near the two brothers. She coos cutely as she even did a few tricks for some scraps, then quickly ate them once they gave her some. Ryuu licked her lips as she sat near the fire, not saying much as her thoughts was occupied elsewhere.

Amiric half smiled. "In body and life, I have many skills that are surprising; in spirit and knowledge, I have many more. Amaterasu is one of the most powerful 'Fire Release' techniques known, as the flames burn through nearly anything and last a full six days and nights before dispelling," he said quietly. "The other was a special trick I'm fairly fond of," he said with a slight shrug, striding after her.

Amiric shrugged. "Yeah, it is, though I doubt we'll have trouble in the towns, as I can hide my 'demon' side; unfortunately being a Hanyou gives me quite a bit of additional strength that I'm not fully aware of yet as well as enhanced senses and speed," he said quietly, sounding half amused. His eyes never stopped scanning around before the gray faded, as well as the odd 'pinwheel' marking. They reverted to the more normal dark blue-violet they naturally were. "That 'Doujutsu' or 'pupil technique' is known as the Kagegan, though that particular form of it is its evolved form, the Mangekyou Kagegan," he said softly.

Tarik tastes the deer, it is suprisingly good. He sits, eating and says "We will travel through Booforia. If we are quick we can make it before the Queen catch us."

"Aku has some business in the Realm of the Dead." The brothers are shocked. Their answer was a double suicide mission.

Sasori nods, "Could be, but he isn't usually apt to care about others, I'm surprised he'd bother. But there is promise that we are on the right path at least."

((Liger and Hunter are off for a while too, guess we will have limited posts until everyone is back.))

The brothers did not know what to think, it was fool hardy to go to Booforia and then on top of that, to go to the Realm of the Dead. What business could the Mistress Aku possibly have there?

Arcon says, "Pardon, but this is crazy."

Ekron hits Arcon upside the head and says to Aku, "Sorry mistress Aku. We will serve you well." Arcon rubs his head and wimpers, "Sorry mistress." The brothers clean up things and put everything away.

Tarik draws a map in the dirt to show everyone. "We are here." He says pointing to the map. "We will take this road and pass two towns. Then we will head this way and head for the border to Booforia. At the border, we will take out the guard and then run across to this fork in the bridge." He points to the bridge between Antera and Booforia. "There is a secret passage that heads to the other side of Antera. After we pass over this point, we can head through the swamps and go to the edge of Antera and go into the Realm of the Dead."

The brothers look at the map and plan Tarik drew out. Ekron asks,"How is it you know so much about this place but do not look like you are from here?"

Tarik answers simply, "I was here before."

He says to Aku and Ryuu, "We should be moving on."
