"What the hell are you laughing at?" Alastor asks as he enters Nephilis' palace. He sighs and stops, looking at Fayte. "Listen, I'm sorry. For this and for what went on at Neph's funeral. I should count myself lucky that you've decided to help me again. I guess Nephilis has helped us all in someway. Right now though, we need him...somewhat." He walks forward locating Samara and taking a seat right behind her at the table. "Hey Sammy." He calls to her in Neph's voice.~~~ "But we..." Kessaris pauses and looks down. "Okay. I understand. Nephilis...really has you tied up these days doesn't he? Responsibilities and all that. I understand though. Just...just return soon, okay? I love you Riko...until next time."

"I know. Kessaris.. I'll be back I swear." Riko crossed her heart with his index finger, a silver line going where his finger went. She now had a silver marking of an "X" on the area where her heart was, a smile on her face. "I swear. Until next time." She kissed him one more time and disappeared, leaving a lingering kiss on Kessaris' lips.
She returned to the palace and saw Alastor in the kitchen. "Well, now. Look what age has done to this man." She said in a soft and gentle voice. Riko had, over the years, learned how to hypnotize people with her voice but this time she wasn't meaning it. "How have you been?" She sat across from him, looking straight at him. "Hello, Samara."

Fayte followed Alastor, but when they saw Samara he couldn't look at her. He knew that it was just part of his contract, and that it all worked out but after what happened on the circumstances of Nephilis's death and funeral he couldn't bring himself to even glance at her. He tilted his head down and stood by the wall his purple hair falling gently over his eyes. He said nothing the memory of her eyes so filled with sadness reminded him far to much of his own when he lost his family again and again.

Once her arm was wraped around his waist, he put his arm around her shoulder. "So how are Flip and Christian?" He questioned while taking his sweet time up the stairs although the could have been their already.

"Hey you." Alastor said, facing her. "I didn't come her to exchange pleasantries, I came her to ask you for...help. Then again, you're not the leader here. I want Evermore. I want to talk to the leader."
~~~
Kessaris watches as Riko leaves, still feeling her against him, feeling more than just that. He takes a seat in the orchard and orders all the workers to leave. He plucks an apple from the many tendrill-esque vines and eats one. "Apples aren't chewy..." He spits it out, finding a worm and sends it to another part of the world altogether. "You! What's your name?"
"Me?"
"Yes you!"
"Roba."
"You're fired."

"I am the leader. Have been for three years now. You will have to deal with me. Nephilis is just like, a father I never had. Now what do you need, Alastor. Hurry because I have other things to do." Riko looked him in the eyes, her face calm but there was no smile. Only the swirl of her cosmic irises were there.
~~~
Alyss came out and saw a worker running away and crying. "Kessaris, darling. What is the matter? Did something go wrong between you and Riko? Did you hurt her or did she hurt you? Speak to me, Kessaris." She sat down next to him and put her hand on his.

"You have other things to do?" Alastor looks into her eyes. He reaches out to her and places a finger against the tip of her's. "Ahh....I know what you want to do. It's obvious, but I needed to know. Blame Kessaris for having Psychometry." Alastor stands up and smirks. "I'm sure you understand that lately, we've been having some disturbances...everywhere at once almost. Silicia was almost destroyed a year ago, Herbacea eight months ago and L'eausis today." He creates a a chart using his light manipulation and draws it out. "This thing is far stronger than us all you know. You might can't sense it, but Nephilis and I can."
"She can sense it." Nephilis responds, walking in, sweat covering his brow. "I've taught her almost everything I know except for the Ways of Days. That's the last level."
"Whatever. The point is, we can't beat it alone. I guess I'm asking for help..."

"I thought that is what you originally said, Alastor. I am well aware of these events happening since my friend is the Prime Leader of Herbacea. Don't enter my mind again or I'll hurt you." Riko hissed, her face still calm but she had ways. "You practically stole my great grandmother Yumiko from me... Nephilis may not have a grudge against you but I do." She stood, looking him straight in the eye. When it came to Alastor she was extremely sensitive.

"Riko...I've stolen alot of things...one of them might include your grandmother which I accept full responsibility for. I apologize." Alastor shapeshifts into her, then back to himself. "But this thing is coming for us I'm sure. Would you rather have one life taken, or all of them?" He fixes his body into the Entity's and speaks in a voice he'd imagined before turning back.~~~ "No one hurt anyone, okay?" Kessaris said, looking over to Alyss dejectedly. "It's just, we're busy people. I'm beginning to see that now." He sighs and looks up at the Bulb, his mind switching into work mode. "The metal holding the Bulb still needs to be reinforced...I'll do it. Tell Mr. Roba he's hired again please Alyss."

Riko growled a little and then sighed, sitting down. "We will help. You have seen it's power and abilities. How many people did it take before you came here, Alastor?" She asked him, blinking a little but completely serious.
~~~
Alyss put her hand on Kessaris, shoulder. "No. There is something else, Kessaris. I grew up taking care of you, Nephew. Now tell me, what is wrong?" She took an apple and turned it sweet, handing it to him. "I am hear for you and I promise I am comfortable with anything you do with Riko. Just tell me."

"Thank you." Alastor sits infront of Nephilis and beside Riko. "I can't put the exact number down. It's been hitting everywhere, but it's hit Kilitia the most...Your boyfriend keeps chasing me. I haven't been to Kilitia in the past...ever. I wonder why he'd think it was me going there..." Alastor's eyes move from Riko to Nephilis. He catche Nephilis eyes zooming from him to somewhere else, a target made by imagination. This let him know an important piece of information. ~Ahhh....so that's why Kessars doesn't want me in Kilitia. Not because of his sister, but because of....okay.~Nephilis looks back at him with only his eyes, knowing he'd revealed important information with just a reaction... ~~~ "Um...well..." Kessaris sits down beside his aunt and repeatedly rocks back and forth. "Okay...I...okay...me and Riko....kinda did it. It was completely out of the blue, but that's besides the point. The point is that, with or without sex, I know I want her, but I can't exactly have her. She's there and I'm here and we've been crazy busy." He sighs and clears his mind. "I guess that what we did is confirmation of our love for each other, but how long will this separation last? Last year, I tried to hold a meeting of nations just to see her only to cancel at the last minute out of embarassment."

Fayte smiled and said. " How ironic, we try and kill you and you welcome our explinations without a second thought. The creature isn't just a fighting machine it's an adapting one. When I fought this thing it observed my movements and saw through them in a heart beat. " He said softly. " Even a blind man could see the severity in the situation at the moment. " Fayte said with a sigh.

Nephilis sits back in his chair, leaning it on two legs to place his feet up. "It is that severity that has brought us to this point. I'm sure you'd know about the severities of plenty things considering the length of time you've been living Fayte..." He looks at the ceiling, giving a smile. "Anyway, enough strategies. We need a tactic. We need a way to at least expose it's weakness. Drawing it out shouldn't be so much of a problem."

Lunia smiled at Nephilis, but before she could say anything he had already left. She sighed silently and shook her head. "I'm not hungry anymore..." she said, putting down the plate that she had at the ready to reheat her pancakes. "I'll be gone for a few hours, tell Nephilis that i've gone to see someone... and he's not to look for me.." she said, before she placed her hand on the plate that she had and closed her eyes, within a few seconds it had become a slice of cucumber, she started eating it as she walked past Samara and Rouvellie without saying bye. As she got to the exit of the house she took a totally different turning than she normally would. Coming to a small forest path she continued walking through it, hoping to find who she was looking for.

Keliah lay in the bed, drenched in a horrible sweat as she stood up weakily trying to make it to a towel to dry off with. She looked in the mirror. "Damn..I look like crap" she told herself.
