Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aleta's crew, and a fraction of the small army rode through barton waveing the flags of Gambino Island, and barton town, with the B.O.O flag up front to show thier loyalty. there were cheers, and cries of "SINers!" but those ceaced. Aleta waved. "May the benovelent Order rise again!" some one yelled, "Oh, we will!" the turned to the street that lead out of barton int o the west field. ((yeah I looked at the Gaia maps! biggrin ))

((Duh. I was mainly adressing the group as a whole. smile ))

Kagura, Duri, June, and Aleta were somewhere near the outskirts of Duram, they entered the water reclamation facility. Aleta could see the pheonix's nest, the home of the bird she partially owed her life to. She looked up, and smiled when she saw 3 eggs sitting in the nest. Thier mother appeared to be out on bussiness. "Okay, it should be somewhere behind Duram, actually. We'll just go around form there."

"And if you want to, we can break into the vault and steal a small fortune for ourselves, they wouldn't miss it. Just a bag of gold or something." Rafea. was talking about the Valeresso's fortune. "yeah, we could live off of that for about a few months. Just a bag of Gold pieces." Aleta shrugged.

"Yeah, well we need to recyle the water somehow." The flags were down now 2 left with the raid party, Aleta droped her BOO banner to the ground. They didn't need it anymore. "We're approaching Duram." She could see the clocktower pokeing from the horizon above the city. Aleta hadn't seen it in onths. Duram was her home after her family died, so she felt a little nostagic, yet worried. I bet it looks pretty bad up close... I don't know what the S.I.N occupation has done to this city...

"Awesome..." Rafeal had left them, he was still at the tavern, but knwing him Aleta thought he was wandering around Barton, looking for a gift for a certain someone. Wow... So this is where he grew up...

The gates loomed overhead, and there were several cloaked figures standing aroudn the gate, the gate opened and let them in. The words "Hail the godess Sentiel!" could be heard. Aleta and the small caravan approached the gatekeeper, a fat gray dark elf with white hair and black eyes. "Greetings gateeeper! Hail Sentiel!" she greeted the man. I thought I would never say those words.. but here i am. It sounds wierd coing out of my mouth...

(( Mary is here to? Who else is with us? :3 ))

"Yeah, I guess you guys want in, right?" the gaiteeper said in a gravely voice.

"Of course! I wish to show my friends an elven ceromny, and they wish to partake in The Nation's activities tonight."

"Very well then..." he was waiting for the elf to say something.

"May Sentie's nation continue to rise, and the godess reign for eternity!" she said, hopefully. the gates creaked open. And we're in! She got off the horse, and shouted to the gatekeeper. "Where can I keep her?"

"Just tie her to the fence with the others!"

"Okay." She left her horse there, but she took all the important items, and stuffed them into her pockets.

((Okay, got it!))
She stood between the horses, and took out a map. "This is a map to the mansion, we need to get here." She pointed to a spot in the middle of the map, on the last floor. It was the heart of the mansion, its basement. "That is where the Dark Elves of S.I.N hold thier ceremonies and meetings. Aries tells me his uncle is holding a meeting tonight discussing sentiel's box, and of course, there will be a sacrafice to appease the Gods of the Underworld, and prayers for good fortune."

I hope it isin't a person... they've been known to do that...

"Anyway, the whole point of this mission is to discover what they know so far about Sentiel's Box. Do you have a small weapon to defend yourselves in case if we're discovered?" She touched her Spider dagger that was straped to her waist. there was lethal poison in it now, ready to kill if it needed to.

"Shrunken weapons, huh? Cool. You're going to have to show me how to do that sometome!" Aleta walked toward the ornate doors. the grounds about the Mansion were gray, and dark, even the garden looked omnious. "This place sure is creepy..." Her feet moved quickly up the stone steps. The door was proped open with a little stone gargoyle, it was open to visitors today. Aleta opened the heavy oak door to a foyer with a chandilier, and a fountain, and a sitting area. It was a very beutiful, decorated in the gothic style seen around Duram. There were Dark Elves, humans, vampires, and Demons everywere, on the staircases, sitting on the couch, and there was even a child splashing in the fountain. It looked like some huge party, but everyone in attendance was either in servant attire, or black and red robes. "Here we are..."
