Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I never..." Jean had left before he could whisper,"...hate you mom." He sighs and turns around noticing Marcove sitting in the seat across the room. "Hey, dad. So have you come to break the bad news on me early?"

"It's good news. You're going to be a leader and if Keliah is ready, so will she. I understand that you and her are still into this large war, so if you want to come put on some better clothes." He notices the change in his son's expression as he draws a pair of dark checkered shorts from his drawer. "I'll protect you from them. We're going only to see Keliah. No one else, okay?"

"Fine. Just to talk. Not to fight. I do need better clothes though...I noticed your aura is gone dad. You walked here?" Kess responds finding a black shirt with a skateboarding panda on it.

"Yes. Long mountain climb too. Now, once we go and return, we can go find Samara, Plague and Leon and prepare this thing. We'll send him out good."



"I'm sorry." Alastor said as he poured more wine into the invisible frame he'd created. "Amara is right. We can use our emotions against our enemies, but we just can't let them get the best of us. And another thing." He stands and approaches the stained glass window which had a portrait of a waterfall embedded in it. "If anything happens to us today, just remember that you all were my first friends. I was alone, going mad until you all came. I thank you for joining me. I thank you for your help."

((Whoo hoo!!! I'm back FINALLY! Anyone care to give me a recap on what I missed? XD))

(And on the good side, Keliah and Kessaris aged a year, Marcove lost his aura and the two siblings are about to become the rulers of there respective nations.)

{{I posted back there just so ya'll know}}

Chelan awoke. "Crap!" she said sitting up. She had fallen asleep while searching for...someone. She couldn't really remember. Suddenly she remeber that this was the day of the funeral for her grandfather. A wave of sadness and regret filled her but passed quickly. Chelan closed her eyes searching for the signature of the others in the air. She saw Samara, then Kessaris and Riko. What made her stop her was the absence of aura. It wasn't just non-existant it was a complete emptiness. It made her shudder. Chelan rose and haded for the two.

Lilium looked at the water. She moved it so that her relfection wouln't show clearly. TOday was the day that the had planned the funeral of her father. Her breath caught for a moment. A tear hit the shifting glass that was the water and cause the pool to ripple. She had now lost her father twice.

Kessaris smirks at Riko and turns away from his father.

"Yeah. She's the one for you kid. Just try not to get a scratch on you. It's not much I can do to fend myself against her."

"Sure. Just don't do anything else wild around me. Your tactics might have worked in your day, but they won't in mind."

Marcove opens the door for Kessaris and bows. "I guess now since you're talking diplomatic I should bow for you as you exit. Let's just go find Samara." In seconds, they're both greeting those who had arrived already.



"Then we won't kill her." Alastor said sincerly. "I'm not a killer of women and children. Today I will be though. Any plans you want to throw on the table? I have a basic go in, take aura then kill."

Tenshi appeared to be getting out of the shower and taking care of his body needs, he never wanted such a day to come but now that it has, all the grief, sadness, and anger that he had the previous day now appeared to be coming out slowly but surely, he wasnt crying right now but you could tell he wanted to and that he was sad. He walkerd over to his closet and looked through his clothing, he went passed most of his normarl cloths and went took out a cardboard box, he took it over to his bed where he then opened it to find a black top and bottoms, he threw the towel on the bed while he put on his underwear and pants followed by some black socks and slip on shoes which went with the attire when he heard the door, he grabed his shirt and walked to the door and opened it to find Morganna, he took the shirt and put it on before it completely opened. " Hello Morganna." He greeted her. "Come in." He asked of her wanting to spend some time alone with her before everyone started to gather.

Samara managed a half-smile. "As good as can be expected," she said. In truth, she felt like she was in a daze and was just going through the motions. "And you? How are you settling in?"

Morganna stepped in, closing the door behind her. As soon as she was inside, she placed her arms around Tenshi. She could see the pain in his eyes, and she wanted to help him through it so desperately.

Yumiko looked at Alastor, the years of wear and torment showed in her eyes of swirling blue and red hues. "I will stay here. My great granddaughter will not see me slaughter people without reason." She said, her hair changing to a white color, her eyes going to a light blue and the swirls turning to silver. She looked older but it didn't seem to be a bad thing.

"I am getting settled in very well thank you. I know this is hard on you. Samara? I guess you will be teaching me?" Riko asked, looking at her with a small and calm smile that could easily calm anyone down.
