Welcome to Gaia! ::

He turned scratching the back of his head a he thought about it "hhmm well i will probably get some sleep i was going to take some time off and leave my lieutenant in charge, maybe spend some time at the family estate." he told her as he thought about going home after so long of not being there. He looks up toward the star lit sky "man i hope Raisha doesn't chew me out to much" he lets out a sigh as he looks back down. As the walked through the forest a gentle breeze passing through the trees as the sway lightly. "i cant believe how much time has passed you know" he said out of the blue "hey Hitomi i really am proud of you" he said softly still looking straight ahead "today you did something i couldn't" he said with a slight chuckle "I started to think, I know i have been caught up in my own projects and even seemed distant at times, so i am not sure if i have told you this." he turned his head and looked at her " I am glad to see you have become a strong, beautiful young women." he told her his expression soft and caring. although the moment was broken as he started to laugh "listen to me, I sound like an old man. But i guess that what happens when you grow up fast right, ha" he continues to laugh turning his head away from Hitomi. "your definitely not that little girl i knew, But thats not a bad thing, no its a very good thing" he said smiling lightly as he continued to look ahead. the gentle breeze still blowing the crickets singing there happy tone as the serenade the night. "I am sorry if what i said caught you off guard and even seemed weird , my mind has been a little off, that trial made me a little uneasy, so i am sorry if i don't seem like myself right now, but know that these are my true feelings, you could say i am unmasked right now, thats one of the reasons i didn't want to be around every one" he told her looking away form her as he knew this would probably seem weird as he is usually more retracted, thinking of his emotions as his main weakness that he never showed, in his position he couldn't afford to show his weakness which is why he acts the way he does.

(( It's alright. Everyone has basically dispersed. Hitomi and Zalain are back in Meracitile talking and having their own little romantic moment after the Oracle gave Zalain a simply Fragment. While Sumiko, Echo, Ashford, Fayte and the Oracle are on the outskirts of Dmaascus, Sumiko's cursed brand activated and turned her emotions dark. The others wen to find her and has a very small fight before the Oracle showed up. While hidden in the Organizations base of operation Lilith has been training with the enemies of the kingdoms. I think that's all that hasreally happened lol. ))

Ashford

"This isn't going very well, Sir!" Ashford shouted over the winds that seemed to suddenly die down. Peeking behind her, Ashford blinked. "S-she disappeared. She's gone, Fayte," Ashford whispered, her strength finally failing her. She collapsed, laying on the ground, closing her eyes. Her wings vanished in a cloud of black mist as she grumbled something. "That's what you get, stupid Aquarius. It's your fault," She whispered, her body screaming for relaxation. "Sorry, Fayte. I tried to stay awake, but this is too much for a novice fairy like me," She murmured, looking up at him. She sighed, closing her eyes.

Fayte gasped as Sumiko began to vanish. " Sumiko wait! " He shouted as she disappeared. He fell to his knees in anger. " Dammit! " He shouted slamming his fists into the ground. The ground under his fists froze over as he looked up at the people still there. " Damn these marks they've ruined everything! " He said through angered eyes. He stood up looking at the Oracle. " You said you could help what happened?! "

" I did what I told you I would I have reduced her Curse's grasp she needs to try now, she can't keep thinking that others will do things for her, she needs to stand up and face the darkness herself. " He said as he looked towards Fayte.

" That's it? That's all you have to say on the matter? She's gone but oh well? What kind of person are you to allow things like this to go on when you know you have the power to- " Fayte was cut off by a sudden outburst from the Oracle.

" Silence! " a pulse shot from the Oracle's body which pushed Fayte to the ground. " What do you know about my choices? You're a schild pretending to be a Lord, none of you understand what it means to live the life that others do. Tell me what would you have me do? Chain her up and drop her at your feet? By the covenant I signed 500 years ago at the end of the last Fragmented War I am not allowed to interfere with your people's lives, because when you begin to rely on MY power then you become stupid and turn on one another which causes countless innocents to die. It is because of ME that you are allowed to live, don't you dare preach to me like you have lived through your people's witless mistakes! " He said in a thunderous voice. The winds blew violently when he spoke a sign that he was not going to stand for being talked down to not after all he had done for them.

Fayte sighed, his anger was subsiding. He looked towards Ashford who had begun to fall asleep he assumed. " She has timing. " He said with a sigh. He looked at the remaining people. " Alright, sitting here will not help us one bit, I think we should return to the kingdoms and...let the kingdoms know that things aren't going very well. " He looked at Echo and gave her a tight hug. " Thanks for coming, this day hasn't exactly been...good, I'm happy to know that I have friends I can depend on. "

" You want a codename? Well then give yourself one, just make it creative and based on what you can do. " He said as he tapped the pole end of his scythe on the ground causing the program to shut down. " As for your results, very good you have no control though, which is understandable considering this is your first fight. " He looked behind him he felt a sudden change inthe rhythm of noises the humanoid workers made when they performed their tasks. " Lilith, I think we have a guest. " He said as he gripped his scythe.

" Indeed we do. " Shade said as he entered the room dragging Sumiko by her arm across the floor. " I found her in the work room passed out, I think it's one of the women that recieved one of our cursed brands. " He said as he tossed her infront of the two of them. " I don't know or care why she is here, but I do not want her to interfere with our plans. " He said as he signalled for two of the workers to come. They did holding shackles and chains which were quickly fascened to Sumiko's body immobilizing her. Shade pointed his finger in the air. He drew purple glowing characters in the air which flew towards the shackles binding Sumiko on a spiritual level making sure she couldn't free herself. " There, we'll see what she wants when she wakes up. "

" I don't know if I'm alright but I need to let them know that Sumiko is gone, and that we should be expecting the worse. " He said softly. He let go of her and said. " Alright Echo do you have a fast paced way to move? If not then let me show you my favorite way to travel. " He said as his lower half suddenly transformed into a beautiful mist. He held out his hand with a smile on his face. " I promise it won't hurt, it's actually very fun to move like this. " He said as his kind smile never faded.


The Oracle all the while had disappeared where he had gone to and what his intentions were were his and his alone, for now he had returned to his little dimension to regain his place as an overseer. " We'll see how long it takes them to realise how far theircorruptino actually goes. " He said gazing through a series of panels which were monitoring each of the leaders.

((Ashford has no real means of getting back to Damascus if you leave her there. ._.))
