Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tarik takes the compass and has the ships loaded and readied for the long journey to across the ocean. The troops still believed the earth was flat and were wary of the trip.

As the ships were readied, Tarik had the troops from the demon military with naval experience stay and sent the others back to war.

He tells Slayer, "Take your troops to Rome. I will follow the compass. I will take Moredred's soildiers and sailors with me."

Tarik has special supplies for his personal use brought by his special guards to earth. The boats on earth were primative compared to those on Antera. He has a crew come and modify a boat to suit his needs. Then has them fix some other boats for the troops to follow in.

Thing progressed quickly so they would be ready to set sail soon.

Tarik had the fur pelts fashioned into cloaks for the soldiers to wear when they got to Antarctica. Moredred had sent a sorcerer that put special protection spells on the equipment. Boats were being loaded with supplies and weapons. Wrath did not specify how well armed the forces they would be fighting would be so Tarik prepared for the worst.

The fight these soldiers and sailors would fight would be much more arduous than merely fighting other armies, demon or otherwise, and more important than a fight for land.

Should he not find a stone in this time period, he would have to leap to another time in earth history to look for a stone.

"Well it is a very good thing that onyx was around to save you. Either way, now we must be moving. I fear that my brother is going to go to war with Tarik and if I am correct, he is going to involve the whole world in this. Eiji turned, disregarding the compass and the stone for now since he was not completely sure if it was meant for him or not. "Come, we must make haste young guardians, we haven't a moment to spare both the demon realm and the human realm are at stake." Eiji walks to his winged horse and prepared to mount it. Eiji's wings were not visible at the moment and he wanted to make sure that it stayed like that until they were needed.

" It all depends on where the next compass is. We must not let him gather the other compasses and spark stones. I believe I know where the next one is, guardian that is." Eiji turns back to Sasori and tugs on his necklace. "This will allow me to find guardians. Apparently it was my destiny to unite them..." Eiji then turns back to his now wingless horse and prepares to ride off.

Tarik is informed by the captain that the ships are ready to sail. He boards his ship, the other ships are made ready to follow. Tarik gives the coordinates to the admiral to give to the captains personally. Each of the captains maps out the coordinants and awaits the tide to set sail. Tarik's armada sets sail to the west.

Skurai walked into the throne room and leaned against the Emperors throne. "Are you ready for war demon?", he asked. "It's your war too. Whether you like it or not."
"Do you think your army is big enough?", he said facetiously. "Do I sense a bit of sarcasm in your voice? Just wait, I have more soldiers coming. They wont get here in time for the start of the battle, but they'll be here, count on it. Right now we have one hundred thousand plus soldiers so were fine. The extras or just a precautionary measure." "Where from?", he asked. "All over...", I replied. "Greece, Turkey, Asia. When you've lived in this world as long as I have you make the right connections." "You mean to tell me the Ottoman Empire means to help you out also? You know they are my enemy.", he said. "The enemy of my enemy is friend. Just think of it like that. Now if you'll excuse me...I must prepare for war."

Onyx shrugged as if it were nothing to him. He concentrated, feeling the flows of destiny and the flow of time itself. "Unfortunately, we are too late for Egypt, because Slayer has already struck there," he said quietly, unaware he was speaking in a very different tone of voice, one that sounded deeper and more ancient. "I sense there are spark stones in the east and west, as well as the deep darkness of nature's grasp," he said softly in the same tone. He stumbled slightly, feeling the odd energy fade like a fishing line snapping under heavy tension.
