Welcome to Gaia! ::

I caught myself with a simple updraft and watched the battle for a moment before looking after Joshoku, she seemed unharmed, but I could feel a little bit of shock in her thoughts. I don't know how to explain the gift of empathy, with most mythical beings it inables me to hear their thoughts, with humans it's they're pain, physically and mentally. I made her calm, and stood as the battle came to a halt. A mutter turned the air around me light blue and grave shuddered slightly, the air chilled, and he crumpled to the ground. I looked to the stranger, and nodded slightly. "Sorry to interrupt... I do believe he's been put under a spell in which my charge is conserned. In normal circumstances I would allow you to continue, but as I must anyalize, I'm afraid, the sooner the better. You may have him in a couple days." I said clearly, hoping i would have little to do with any violence for the night.

I looked warily to the strange Demon who had almost seemed to lose complete intrest in the fight.

I giggled childishly when he finally responded. "Well isn't that a little unfair?" I lifted graves body up and shivered. I jumped into the air, and allowed the wind to carry me to a sheltered area of the forest, once there, i began meditation and graves shadows came down and his body was filled with light. I examined his lifesources, a simple necromancy spell in which a slightly black metal lay. My eyes opened wide, as i realised what exactly was happening... I stood up and rushed towards grave only to be repelled. I was losing consciousness again, as the words fell from my lips, "Why... father..."

Kethsars face darkened and her spells were released, cause a ripple of shadows to flow from grave. Kethsar shivered unconciously and was thrown into a night mare about the day she was told her father died.

"You can't just barge in there and announce to the child she's an orphan!" Screamed her mentor, from behind the door as young Kethsar hid shakingly.
'They're dead?' she fell to her feet and wept, the floor around her glowed grey, and her body felt numb, grief clutched her heart, and the world spun.

The fighting continued outside the door..

"You know her condition, any emotional stress could shake her potential for good! You know that! We can't do this... she must never know of her father's treachery... never... It would break the seal, and her heart."

"I wasn't going to... but now you give me no choice!" the unknown man screamed, a thump was heard.

the door glowed green and a sword was left at the edge of her bed, along with a small covered cage. The man watched the young girl as her forehead glisened with sweat. The inner battle raged, as the little girl fought the bitterness, and anger in her heart.

'You are free... Don't be caged little one.' a soothing voice rang through her head... "Daddy?" Kethsar asked, still shaking with sobs...

"No..."

I was shaken awake sharply.

Zero followed Graves escape and waited for him to have made it a safe distance away from that woman before showing himself again "Whats wrong with you Grave?" he asked "You are not acting like yourself"
