Thomas followed everyone down the hall until they reached various colourful doors. Gaius took lead in choosing one and Thomas took his place at the back of the group aiming his rifle between everyone and at the door that had yet to be opened. This time he would be prepared for whatever may lurk behind it, shoot it dead before it was able to hurt anyone. Ever since Gaius insulted Thomas' aim he had become a lot more serious and tense, almost like he felt the need to prove himself. Silvia attempted to calm herself down as Skadi put her hand on her shoulder trying to reassure her, however that only worked until Elayne referred to herself in third person. Silvia had the feeling that something was horribly wrong with her and she began to feel even worse, fresh tears slipping down her almost dried face. "How.... how do we help?" Silvia questioned quietly trying not to cry too much. A scream then interrupted her thoughts. Caliborn immediately instructed them to follow him towards the scream. Silvia used the back of her sleeve to wipe a couple tears off her face before following, glancing once back at the young girl in the middle of the room doing her best to hold back welling tears. "We will find some way to help you, I promise." Silvia's voice was quiet and almost cracking as she spoke before charging down after Caliborn
Dropping her chains and cooling her blood slightly Cierra relaxed as Sven began to speak. It didn't seem as though he saw the girl as threatening any more, instead he instructed her to go look at the equipment offering to pay for whatever she needed. Cierra tentatively approached the makeshift shop area looking at the armor. It was true she didn't wear much for armor, defense was never her thing. She looked over it all. Not knowing much about anything she looked back at Sven. "I don't know what I should be getting if anything master." She looked back at the selection. Cierra didn't know the difference between what was good, what wasn't and what might be effected by her heat manipulation and what wouldn't. Cierra shook her head. "I will be fine with what I have, don't worry about me." Cierra backed off from the girl who was selling the stuff. Cierra then looked to Sven wondering what they where to do next. She knew that she didn't have to say anything for him to understand what she was asking. By this point he was used to her not ever knowing what to do next.
Dawn was confused and didn't know what was going on around her. One moment she was talking with Anta and the next Xross somehow was right by her and another man was against the wall after what seemed like he was pushed, or some sort of force similar. She then looked back to Xross as he spoke. So as it seemed he had saved her. "Hehe, that one was kinda my fault for running off and hiding on him when I knew he was too angry to be paying attention to anything. He means well though, he really does." Dawn said as she brushed her long auburn hair behind her ears. Soon Dawn went to draw her sword as the strange man started to get up, but then she looked at Xross. "Do you got this or do you want some help? I will fight if you like, if not I should probably try to get Dmitri under control before he destroys something." Dmitri was getting ready for round two against Dain when he overheard a couple others talking. One gave the other permission to study the strange creature that attacked his sister. Perhaps in studying it he would be about to figure out how to deal with Dawns injury. "Wait!" Dmitri called out after India. Dmitri glared at Dain who was called to follow the man before turning back to India. "You are studying one of those thing? Do you think that if you study that you and figure out how to cure something caused by them? My sister got scratched by one, the wouldn't itself wasn't bad but the black infection is. If you help us I will really owe you one." Dmitri turned to where Dawn was for her to show the man her arm, but she was gone. "Damn it Dawn." He mumbled before spotting her at the edge on an ally. "Dawn! Get over here!" He ordered. "Sorry I guess I can't help right now. You will be fine right? You can use those portal things and can escape if needed. Sorry!" Dawn said bowing slightly to Xross before running to her brother, she would rather not be dragged around again. "Sorry Dmitri. I just needed some space. What is it?" She asked seeming as happy as ever. Dmitri couldn't be mad at her when she put on her cute smile. "Show this man your arm. He is going to study the creature that did that to you, hopefully he will be able to help you." Dmitri instructed. "Yeah okay." Dawn slowly unwrapped her arm and showed it to India. It was surprising that Dmitri was going to trust some stranger with her help, but she could tell he was desperate to help her. "We would be very grateful if you agree to help." Dawn bowed slightly to India as she waited for his response.
"Just because my shot didn't have enough power behind it didn't mean I missed, it isn't like that was human and I could just blow it's head off, I aimed perfectly. Stupid Gaius doesn't know what he is talking about. Where does he get off telling me I have bad aim." Thomas mumbled to himself as he started to walk away from Gaius, just barely catching the comment about family. "I don't care about any damn family, all they are is trouble." He continued to mumble to himself. Thomas soon looked up and realized he was back at the door, he had walked the wrong direction. Thomas turned around and ran back to where Gaius Misuki and Ra now stood. Thomas gave Gaius a warning glare to not say anything. He remained silent not putting his input in which way to go, it wasn't like anyone would listen. So he just waited fir a decision to be made. ~~~~~ Silvia shifted uncomfortably as Skadi tried ti comfort her. "I can't really fight...." She admitted quietly. "If I can't fight and protect myself I might drag everyone down. Plus.... People make me nervous." She admitted fidgeting with her hands. "For that reason I don't really fit in anywhere. But I want to stay, so I will learn whatever I can so that I am allowed to." Silvia spoke up with a little bit of hope. Silvia was quickly distracted from her conversation with Skadi when Siuan came rushing out.Silvia followed everyone else upstairs to see what had happened. It didn't take long for Siuan to start yelling at them about the situation. "I'm sorry." Was Silvia's first response. Sniffles could be heard now as tears slipped down Silvia's face. She felt as though she had failed this family. "I am sorry, I am so sorry. We are trying. Just don't yell. Sorry, I am still new to this." Silvia couldn't stop her excessive apologizing as she wiped a tear from her eye, trying hard to hide that she was crying.
Thomas puffed up his chest and stared intensely into Gaius' eyes, he was not going to back down. Thomas poked a finger at Gaius' chest. "Listen here, I have never missed a shot. My accuracy is one of few things I take great pride in it. Just because I got hit with more spells than I could handle before I aimed in a close quarter battle, which by the way snipers aren't good at, doesn't mean I miss. Yeah I gawk but I train twice as hard when I do train. Do not underestimate me you idiot." Gaius had struck a cord with Thomas, getting insulted and shut down fir his flirting attempt was one thing but insulting Thomas's aim was another thing, one he could not handle. Thomas turned from Gaius. "Don't talk to me, we might be on a team but it doesn't mean I have to like you in any way." Thomas loaded his rifle as he kept going deeper not caring the consequences, after all he could fend for himself. ~~~~ "Oh that?" Silvia looked up from her work as she completed another grass crown and placed it on the ground. "I don't mind talking about it, people just don't tend to ask." She said with a faint hint of a smile. That smile however faded as she began to speak again. "I got this a few years back when.I was eleven. My mom owns a medicine store in a small business town. I have always helped with it, but our town gets into trouble a lot you see. Often we have guilds come through to help us and often then end up fighting and people get hurt. Since o was ten I would go out on the streets, follow the wake of destruction and injuries and help the people who couldn't make it to the shop right away for help. Anyways one day when I was doing that I got a little to close to the action. I-I don't know what hit me." Silvia began to stumble over her words but took a few deep breaths to calm herself before continuing. "Anyways it cut my arm really deep you see, but despite the pain I didn't stop helping others, after all it was only my arms, I could fix it up later, I had to help those that where more injured. So I kept going, healing everyone I could while I was bleeding uncontrollably. I did a lot of good that day but I ended up passing out helping one of the injured members of the guild. I don't remember what how I got home, my mom told me a member of the guild found out who I was and carried me there. When I woke up I had a fever, the wound got infected, badly. They thought I might die." Silvia looked down at the ground, sad. It was clear she had not shared this story much if at all. "I barely pulled through that fever, my body was so weak at the time, weaker than it is now.... My mom forbid me from ever going out to help people like that again. I had to stay in the shop if I wanted to help.... But I couldn't... It didn't feel right just helping those who could help themselves enough to get them their. I wanted to help those who couldn't. Just a month ago I finally decided the only way to do that was ti join a guild, so I told my mom. She said when it blows up in my face to not come back home.... I am a reckless disgrace because I wasn't who she wanted me to be... So now I am here, praying I can earn my keep." Silvia finished her story. Looking up into Skadi's eyes Silvia realized she shared more than what Skadi had asked for. "Oh I am so sorry! Did I say to much! Look at me rambling about my life you just wanted to know about the scar. " Silvia's face turned tomato red as she ramble at the end before burying her face in her hands. "Sorry." She mumbled once more from between her hands.
Nice, looks good
"You bet I'm coming! I am not letting some spikey haired, fist flinging jock, show me up. Just who do you think I am!" Thomas called out after Gaius pretty much ignoring everything else that had happened around him after the battle. However he did listen to Leon's comment. Thomas turned to him. "Look you emo little wanna be goth. Those Damn things attacked us and took out one of our best in the processes, we'll besides me of course. Anyways they attacked us so we fought back, of he left during that time it isn't our Damn faults. Why didn't you mister so high and mighty stop him then? Huh? I bet you don't have an answer do you? So piss of and leave her alone." Thomas indicated to Mikasa. Thomas was clearly annoyed and protective about his teammate. With that out if the way he shoved past Gaius and through the door. Silvia sat on the grass, nothing was being said and it made things more tense. She needed some sort of way to calm down from all the uncertainty. Silvia picked a few of the longest pieces of grass, braiding them. Meanwhile she hummed a soft tune, adding grass as the pieces ran out creating a longer and longer braid. It didn't take long before she could tie the back and create a crown of grass. Silvia placed it on her head before starting another one, she was too nervous to talk to anyone so this was the only thing she could think to do while she waited.
Silvia was finding it difficult to match her breathing to the light for the sole reason she was too anxious to control her breathing properly. It was hard for her to say exactly why she was anxious,but it was all so new to her. She did her best and waited for the lights to come back on and the exercise to be over. When it was Caliborn ushered them outside, it was time to just wait. Once outside with the others Silvia still remained quiet, still unsure. She looked back to the house thinking, hoping that the necklace she had given the young girl would somehow help. But for now she figured they weren't to go inside, they where to wait and leave the ladies be. If they were to wait then what were they to do in the meantime? The questions silently circled Silvia's mind, but still she said nothing.
Freya looked down at the ground while Juliet talked, she was second guessing everything she had said, was it too much? Not enough? Would Zavion be mad if he had heard what she had said? Juliet tried to reassure her, say that they would help, but could she be trusted. It was clear Lucifer didn't, but he had his reason, and Freya couldn't tell with Zavion. What if when they got back she ratted them out, what then? Freya didn't even want to think about it at that point. Freya chose to trust Juliet, it was like second nature to her, just trusting people. It had gotten her in trouble before but that wouldn't sway her, it never did. "Thank you, Juliet... That means a lot." Freya said with a smile. She had always been good at picking herself up again and seeming happy. "We should probably head back so the others don't get suspicious." Freya said as she started back to the others, part of her fearing what her brother would say when they returned. "Owww" Gwen whined as Beuce smacked her in the back of the head. "At least I tried. I am still new to this you know. Give me a break." The small cat girl crossed her arms as she looked around. "Well this is certainly an interesting place, lots of wildlife. "Gwen said walking forward. She reached back for her bow just in case. "Damn it! Damn transformations. Why did they have to take away my favourite weapon. This sucks." Gwen continued to complain before thinking. "Well at least I am still cuter then all of you. So what do you say we go find a cave or something, that is where the hero is supposed to be is it not? So lets go." Gwen moved forward, not getting far before turning back to Hunter. "Try not to kill each other, or yourself for that matter Hunter. Well unless you want your eyes clawed out." Gwen shot her claws out of her paw and glanced at them, nice and sharp, perfect for keeping the men in check. Retracting them she continued on.
Despite Sebastian words Tinarah still felt terrible. She didn't eat that much or anything but still there was the expense of food, and basic upkeep for her. She was a burden she still believed that. She knew that Sebastian wouldn't kick her out, but that didn't mean that she shouldn't leave, and she would have if not for the fear that she felt every day. Tinarah watched as Sebastian walked back towards the window. She lifted her shaky hand to stop him as he got ready to leap out of the window and leave her, but no words came out of her mouth, no sounds was made at all. Tinarah was just a shaky mess and she didn't know what to do with herself. Tinarah yawned but dragged herself out of bed. She had only gotten about four hours of sleep this time, not nearly enough, but there was no going back to sleep now, she was too scared... again... It happened far to often and she hated it. Tinarah got out of her night gown and changed into a white dress, nothing special about it, but she didn't own much for clothing, and of what she did have it was her favourite. Tinarah rested her unsteady hand on the doorknob of her room, she didn't leave her room unless she had to but today was different. Today Tinarah felt so guilty she decided she had to do something to repay Sebastian for his kindness. She would do something to earn her stay. To start Tinarah cleaned up all the dishes from days before, living with two guys, not all the house work got done properly. She then worked on tidying up the living room a bit, stacking everything nicely, dusting the shelves that seemed like they hadn't seen a rag in ages, and sweeping the even more dirty floor. With all of that taken care of she went back to the kitchen. Tinarah wasn't a fantastic cook but she had watched others cook, seen Sebastian do it and had learned to read a recipe. Tinarah ran back to her room to get a recipe from a magazine Sebastian had brought her once, she looked through it many times now. Sebastian was good to her, occasionally bringing things for her to do in the hours she spent in her room, but for the most part it was her job to keep herself busy, which was fair enough. Heading out to the kitchen for the last time Tinarah started on what she could for the dinner she was attempting to prepare. They didn't have all of the ingredients so Tinarah improvised, it wasn't so hard. While she worked she sung a soft tune trying to comfort her nerves a bit. Even when she was safe she was scared. Singing had always helped that, it was her greatest source of comfort. Cierra was surprised that she was able to knock Sven over. She didn't have that much strength but the element of surprise was on her side. Sven had been scolding her for calling him master. She owed him her life and so would forever be in his debt, therefore it made him her master, she owed him everything and would serve him in everything. Picking himself up Sven commended her for knocking him over. "Thank you Master..." Cierra bowed to him in gratitude. Then a girl walked up to the in greeting. Cierra stepped back slightly closer to Sven waiting for him to give instruction on what to do now. She didn't know how to deal with this new person, but seeing as how Sven responded in an aggressive manner Cierra took his example. She did not speak nor did she care to. Instead she lifted her chains holding one in each hand ready to use the technique that Sven was just teaching her. The chains she wore started to glow red and she controlled her heat transferring all of it into the medal making them as hot as they could go without weakening their integrity. Cierra's eyes where cold and almost lifeless as she prepared herself, as if the idea of hurting someone didn't bring her any emotion at all, whatsoever. Sam sat back not listening to a word that the crazy man who walked up next to him and started yelling over the edge of that building at the people below claiming to be some sort of savoir and commented on how he was looking out for everyone as was Sam himself. As the man spoke Sam simply took out one of the hunting daggers strapped to his waist and started sharpening it. He was far enough back on the roof top that if anyone where to look up they wouldn't see him. It was rare that Sam kill just because, without a proper contract, but damn was this guy annoying. He had to simply wait for the man to retreat then Sam could kill him with as little struggle and noise as possible, dump the body away from there and go about his day waiting for the cover of night before going out searching for contracts once again. There had to be one soon, he did have the skill and slowly he was making a name for himself. Soon he would have more contracts than he knew what to do with, but that wouldn't be for a while. Right now all Sam had to focus on was finding the right time to strike his target.
"It is simple." Blaze began as he cracked his knuckles. "I have a friend that has just been taken in by the special forces. They have some secret agendas that I plan to help her reveal, with her being in captivity it is up to me to first off get the word out, second get her out, and third bring them hell. We are going to torture the government and make them know what the wrath of the underground is like. They think we are bad, they are worse. We are going to take them on. If you want to build your business then you need reputation and guess what, I am giving you a front seat pass to the show and letting you help if you like, if not.... think of all the money you might be losing out on." Blaze explained as he turned away from the door. Blaze needed the help but he made it look like he could care less if Nasir helped. If the man knew that he was desperate he wouldn't put it past those in the underground to pick him for anything they wanted in exchange. Blaze had to watch his mouth, how he worded things, what he let on and what he had to do in order to get peoples attention. Blaze however was good at this, he had been in the business for long enough to know. "I am going to show them hell, if I have to do that by myself so be it." Blaze spoke so Nasir could hear but he didn't bother to look over his shoulder, there was no point. A flick of a lighter, letting it burn in his hand for a moment was a sign that in his time gone he had not lost his touch. Hopefully it would work.
Dmitri was not expecting the Dain to block but even so Dmitri was ready for a counter. It was generally how a battle went one attacked then the other countered trying to catch the first off guard. Given this was so common Dmitri got ready for it and blocked the attack with the flat end of his sword He wasn't fighting to end it quickly by taking his ability to stand. Dmitri's eyes where cold as he stared down Dain. "I don't need your respect, but if you ever wished to be close to my sister it would a good thing to learn. Too bad you will never have that chance again." Dmitri told the man before calmly taking a step back. Dmitri swiped his sword through the air testing the weight once again although he knew it. Dmitri then glared before he moved, thinking through what exactly to do next. Body language was important in a fight. Dmitri glanced at every spot he could hit before shutting his eyes letting his instincts do the work. He had decided, studied the way Dain was standing everything, not selecting the last thing he looked at to hit. The second Dmitri's eyes closed he was off. Dmitri listened to everything around him and brought the butt end of his sword down aiming for Dains wrist. Right before he struck he opened his eyes, with any luck this hit would disarm the man. "It is just what Dmitri does, it is what he is good at, and the only way he knows to prove his dominance. You know Dmitri is smarter then he leads most people to believe but he doesn't know how to channel it besides in combat." Dawn told Anta about her brother with much admiration for him. "Go ahead and cover it if you please. I don't want to see it anymore anyways." Dawn rested her head on the wall behind them as she held out her arm. "Leave them to fight, Dmitri will get over himself eventually, don't worry about it. " Dawn sound just as uncaring as she looked. After all she had grown up with Dmitri, his antics no longer bothered her. Dawn then listened to Anta's suggestion of going to check things out and food. "You go... I am going to stay here, wait for my brother to cool off a bit, then maybe find someone that can look into what is happening to my arm. Maybe I will humor him and go to the hospital. I don't know, but I am tired and not really wanting to go anywhere yet. Long day, school, training, then this takes a lot out of a person you know." Dawn explained before giving Anta a warm smile that also proved to dismiss the girl if she wished to leave, she would be fine and didn't really need help or company.
"No luck..." Karina replied. She hesitated before talking again, replying to the other comment. "I know it wasn't a proper excuse or really fair, I mean we have work to do, but the break of being here and not just jumping to another place where we will inevitably meet more people who will want our help and send us away again on another missions. I didn't take a long break before searching for Mickey but personally if I didn't take it I don't know if I would function properly for more missions... I just, had some stuff in my own mind to work out and I am sure many others are the same. We have been so stressed lately that it builds up, I have since I got here, but... I think I feel okay now... Sorry about how I usually act, I am going to try and control it from now on." Though Karina was telling this to Aden she knew he was not the one who needed to hear it. She had not wronged Aden as much as she wronged other people, such as Glen. However what he had said to her was not acceptable and she could not just let it slide, she would not forget about it, and not completely let go of her anger, how could she? Sure she made mean jokes about him a lot but he picked at her life, pressing buttons that where better left unpressed. She not only hated him for it, but feared him, she feared him so much and it wasn't until just now that she realized it. She had always viewed it as just more hate. With the habit of making most emotions into anger and hate she lost sight of the difference between them. "I better keep looking." Karina told Aden before walking away. She didn't know how to properly dismiss herself so instead she didn't say goodbye or anything, she just left. Karina kept her head low while she turned the corner and walked straight past Glen for another circle around town. She barely glanced at him as she walked by, but she got the vibe he was annoyed and decided to stay clear as she side stepped away from Glen a little more as she passed, quickening her pace.
Thomas was disappointing in himself for not one shotting the ghost. "I am a better shot than that I swear!" Thomas shouted out to make sure that everyone could hear and would know that he wasn't weak. He could attack well if he wanted to. Thomas quickly reloaded his gun and aimed once more this time using a slightly less powerful skill for the sake of looking cool. With a quick flip of a switch on his gun, and focusing of more magic energy Thomas was able to get ready for his next shot. Thomas slowly eased the trigger back until he felt a small almost click quickly followed by the recoil from the gun going off. A small ball of fire shot from the end gaining size as it grew, hitting the as it made contact with its target it exploded in a bright light. "Lets just hope that did it." Thomas mumbled not wanting to be the last to kill his ghost because that would be embarrassing. Thomas used fire.
Sapphire stood up from her throne and walked over to her friend. "I don't expect you to find him or convince him Xero. He can't control your life. If you want to help then you have my permission to help, I will simply send you on your own mission, one separate from his. Perhaps some time apart would help things. You are not weak or helpless, I just think that Gexln would rather die then see you harmed, he truly does love you Xero." Sapphire then hugged her friend as she mentioned Gexln admitting to acting different and it scaring her. "It will be okay sweetie, you aren't doing anything wrong. Perhaps he is just having his own struggles. Even after three hundred years we all have pasts that haunt us from time to time, things we need to work through alone. I am sure that is all it is. Don't worry too much." Sapphire tried to comfort. Soon Eigo walked into the room. Sapphire sighed, sometimes she didn't like her job. Right now all she wanted to do was be there for a friend but the was more important matters to attend to. Sapphire looked at Eigo then Xero. Stepping back she did a quick scan of a few of the worlds, just the ones she checked fairly often since it was the easiest to reach with her clairvoyance. A complete scan of all the worlds would take her a lot longer. "It seems there is some odd behavour in the Pride Lands right now. As soon as Xero is feeling ready to go I would like you and her to go investigate. Please do not kill anyone you find there just try to, deter them. Scare them off this hunt. Make sure they know that the goddess is aware. I don't want to see anyone getting hurt, that is only something I do when I absolutely have to, got it?" Sapphire instructed before she started waving her hand in the air in front of her. Darkness swirled under her palm as is started to form a creature. Soon a lion was standing in front of them his form made completely of darkness. "He will accompany you, assist in scaring off this rebellion, if fighting is needed let him handle it for the most part, it knows when is too much, it is made from my own heart." Sapphire finished before glancing back at her friend. "If you see Gexln and he gives you any problems, step back and let Eigo handle it. You want to fight then you can fight, just not Gexln, it isn't worth it right now." Freya felt a tug on her arm as Juliet dragged her away from the group. Freya took a couple running steps to catch up properly and keep pace with Juliet as they walked. Freya bit her lip as Juliet lowered her voice to ask what they where doing there. She seemed angry as it was so Freya feared telling her the truth of how they got there, but she was horrible at lying so the truth it was. "Well Lucifer and Zavion have been on the run from home for I don't even remember how long now, convinced that mom will punish them if they return, but she won't, if she wanted to punish them they wouldn't have left Riel. Anyways they won't believe me so I have been following them because you know those two are reckless and don't know how to take care of themselves and any injuries and stuff so I won't go home until they do. Anyways we where wondering through the Realm of Darkness and saw you and Caleb I don't know exactly what Zavion saw or heard with his Clairvoyance but he felt like we should follow you and because of that we found our way into the middle of this rebellion and have to play along because I don't know what they would do to us if they found out we are the children of the goddess. I am scared. And I don't know why they want to kill my mom. She isn't doing a bad job of running things, she is doing a really good job actually. The whole thing is frightening and I don't know what to do. You have to help us stop this Juliet. Mom has done nothing wrong. You have to help us. Please. I beg you, please. I don't want to see them kill my mother, but what can I do... I can't even fight." Freya rambled on at first her words sounded nervous like she didn't know where to start or what to say, then guilty for spying on her, and finally she sounded very very desperate as she dropped her head and eyed the ground. It wasn't until after that Freya started cursing herself for possibly saying too much. Freya never knew when to shut her mouth so generally she let Zavion do all the talking, but Zavion was not the one pulled aside, she was, that however didn't mean he wasn't watching. Gwen walked past Hunter patting his chest as she walked by. "Too bad you sir have already caught it. Have you looked in the mirror lately?" Gwen said referring to the gingivitis comment. Gwen soon pushed past Hunter into the tardis. "Isn't it supposed to be smaller on the outside?" She asked as she made herself a place in the cramped space. Gwen assisted Hunter in the pressing of random buttons until at last sound was made and they where teleported somewhere else. Stepping out of the cramped space she looked at the men. "Remind me never to ride that thing with you two... like ever again." She commented using her hand to fan the smell from inside the tardis away from herself. As she waved her hand she realized, her hand was actually a paw. Gwen looked down at her body and realized it was cat like. She turned to the others. "Hey look how cute I am." She said as she pranced around a little bit obviously proud of her form. She had never changed forms before so this was something new to her. She pranced up to Lucien and Stratos. "You two are no where near as cute. And why the hell are you wearing armor? We are in a Disney world not some sort of multiplayer game where you can fight other players in teams in attempts to capture the others base." Gwen huffed. Alisia waited a few minutes outside before finally making the decision to enter the Castle since no one else seemed to be appearing out here. Perhaps they went in through a back entrance or had other means of travel to get them inside the castle. She had heard there was other methods she just wasn't overly familiar with them. Stepping inside the castle she could hear giggles coming from inside the call room, they sounded fairly young, likely the young girl that was at the meeting, but who else would come here she wondered. She knew of only a couple others that said that they where planning on coming here, one she already saw walking off to explore, the other yet to arrive so it seemed. Alisia looked at all the doors that where in the main hall. While others aimed for the stairs first, she decided she wanted to see what was behind all of them, if perhaps there was any clues. "Xander, you check the doors over there, I can check these ones." Xander opened his mouth like he was about to protest but Alisia interrupted him. "I will be right across the hall. I will be fine, this place seems abandoned so don't worry about it. Lets just hurry up and do this so we can hopefully find the hero." With a sigh and a shrug Xander listened to the young girl. It was after all her adventure to go on not his, so she would be the one calling the shots, this decision was determined already, he was nothing more than a spectator who would only step in when she really needed the help. The first room Alisia wondered into was a big cold dark room. She could see a fire place on the far wall that looked like it hadn't been used for years. Considering the temperature of this room she almost wanted to light it, but considering the age of the castle she questioned how good of an idea it was. She then proceeded to the left wall which was lined with books. Running her fingers along the spines she selected one to pull out and start reading. Perhaps one of these books would have a clue.
"Watch where you are going!" Karina immediately snapped at Aden. ".... I mean, um, it is okay I guess." Karina said trying to calm herself but still speaking though clenched teeth. It seemed that changing and not letting her emotions rule her life was not as easy as it seemed in her head. This would take a while. Karina stood there for a minute then realized that she was clenching her fists. Slowly she loosened her grip and just kind of looked at Aden blankly. She didn't know what to do now. She didn't know what to saw or if she should just walk away or what. Not knowing who she was or was going to be made things a lot more complicated than she thought it would be when she came up with the idea. "Uh... um....." Karina searched for some words to say. "Did you see that mouse yet? Any luck?" She asked kind of nervous. It was rare that Karina was nervous, but then again that was when she had all her walls up, ones that where crumbling revealing a fragile heart that hadn't had the chance to develop properly since she was a child.
Silvia smiled at the girl and the doll. "Nice to meet you Minnie." Silvia said in a kind and not condescending voice, one that seemed like Silvia was talking to a real person not a doll. "She is very pretty Elayne, I wish I had a doll that pretty when I was your age. My mom had to make all of mine." Silvia said trying to converse with the girl the best she could. Silvia was soon interrupted by Zarine asking about some sort of book. A look of concern crossed Silvia's face as soon as the girl looked down seeming uncomfortable, however soon passed it off as the girl simply feeling guilty for not reading the book. It was a natural thing for a young person to do, not want to read then feel guilty or fear of getting in trouble for not reading. This didn't seem to be how others saw it however. Perhaps Silvia was just too naive to see what was going on here. Caliborn soon ordered everyone out of the room so they could talk. Silvia waited for everyone else to vacate the room before leaving herself, but first she turned back to Elayne. With the room cleared out Silvia grabbed a small charm out of her pocket and placed it over Minnies neck. "This is a special pendant, it will keep you and Minnie safe if you need it." Silvia said as she then stood up and ruffled the girls hair before exiting the room. The pendant itself was nothing special, just a placebo to help the girl feel better. Back at her mothers medicine shop Silvia knew of a few pendants that they kept that where blessed with magic to help with different things like pain relief, sedation to help relax, stuff like that, but this one was nothing special, just a pretty necklace that Silvia hoped if the girl believed it was magic it would help her. Soon enough Silvia found herself in the living room with everyone else. It felt crowded to her which made her uncomfortable but she could cope, sort of. Silvia found herself standing in the back corner of the room holding one of her arms, covering her scar. Caliborn soon pulled out a white orb. He explained that it was used for checking for ghosts. The idea that a ghost was here was a little frightening to Silvia. It was not what she expected when agreeing to come on this mission. She wondered if the other areas where better, other jobs she could have taken, maybe the high school one. Anyways it was too late to change now so she just had to deal with whatever might be going on in this house. With this thought though Silvia was definitely not going to try to use the device. Instead she stood quietly at the back of the room and kind of hoped no one would notice her.
Thomas did not jump as the door was burst down. He simply watched as Leon shoved Mikasa into a corner. "Dude she is a S-c... A spectacular wizard, I am sure one bump to the head is not going to put her out of commission. Chill. Geez." Thomas said to Leon as the room started to fill with ghost like creatures. Looking around at them Thomas knew it was time to fight. "Now this is what I'm talking about." Thomas said as he pulled his sniper rifle off his back and moved back as far from the ghosts as he could while still being in the room. Crouching low he rested his sniper rifle against his shoulder and adjusted the scope. As Thomas prepared his shot some theme music started to play in his mind to set the mood. With the mood set and him in position Thomas peered through the scope and set his eyes on Gaius about to pull the trigger, but just before he did he re-positioned himself to be aiming at the ghosts. Thomas focused all his magic as he squeezed the trigger sending not a bullet but a shot of electricity at the ghost. A wicked smile crossed his face as the thunder exploded and he reloaded for another shot. Finally his time to fight.
Tinarah heard the sound of her window crash open and it caused her to curl more. She then looked up and saw a dark figure curled up on her floor and shrieked at the sight. At first Tinarah was not aware of who it was. Her shaking calmed slightly when the figure stood and she figured out who it was, only Sebastian. "S-sorry..." Tinarah stuttered as she looked up at Sebastian and moved over so he could sit. "The... the same.... It was the same dream..." Tinarah had troubles speaking but was able to make out some words. Tinarah felt terrible for making Sebastian come to her rescue... again just from a dream. "Sorry...." Tinarah said once again uncurling her wings a bit but not completely so she didn't hit Sebastian with her wings. "I am useless... I don't deserve the kindness you show me. I don't do anything to deserve to be here." Tinarah told Sebastian, looking down. She felt bad for being here but she didn't have the confidence to leave. She couldn't remember the last time she stepped foot outside. It was rare enough as it is that she left her room, she didn't unless it was for something she needed. Tinarah didn't think in the nearly a year she had been living there she didn't go outside. Cierra stood out in the wastelands with Sven for one of her lessons. Sven often taught her various things, reading, writing, and today's lesson was in combat. She knew what he chose to teach her when was more than just when he had time, but also when he had a plan, something that knowing him he did. Teaching her to fight was not a bad thing though, the world was a dangerous place and she had people out looking for her. She had broken out of jail after all only for Sven to save her and help fight off guards. During that escape was the only time she successfully killed anyone, and she was running off of pure adrenaline. Normally Cierra was too weak and frail to do fighting successfully though she tried. The idea of killing didn't phase her, Cierra had no morals so she didn't feel guilt on the matter. She would do whatever she had to in order to please Sven, the man she thought of as her master since he had saved her. Also the man who made her feel an emotion that she was unfamiliar with, all she knew of it was that she enjoyed being with him and never wanted to be separated. She couldn't tell what this emotion was but she felt it ran deep into her. "As you wish Master Sven." Cierra replied as she looked at the chains that rested on the ground by her feet, one end attached to her wrists and one to her neck. The one around her neck was bothersome, the others made good weapons. Cierra lifted one of her chains in her left hand as she twirled it and attempted to throw it at Sven's feet to trip him. Instead she hit his shin and realized her chains where heated so it would have been more painful. "Sorry Master. I'll try again." Cierra said. This time before getting ready to throw her chain she took a deep breath and brought the temperature of her body and her chains down to more of a normal level. She then threw the chain again This time she got it around one of his ankles. Cierra gave the chain a sharp yank in hopes that she could pull Sven over, but she questioned her strength to do so.
Well it will be rare. I hope you like the taste of blood, and teeth
