Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Sorry I ditcha guys for six hours D: Me and my friend when Cosplay shopping)

Silver looked seeing Rugen. She looked over at April and wondered, walking over. "Come sweetie, we need to see your uncle." She said, holding out her arms.

The little girl looked at her mother confused, but she nodded and climbed into her mothers arm, she blinked, seeing them in the gardens as she felt Helios's magic and tilted her head. Why was her uncle so mad?

Josline laughed and shook her head. "I doubt it." She answered, continuing to laugh.

Opal looked over at Vaati, lifting up her head. "Fine..." She murmured when he said he wanted her to come with him.

Arious squeezed his eyes shut and cursed.

Shadow nodded at Darious. "I think.. he is almost there..." He watched Arious. Shadow immediately exclaimed when Arious' eyes opened, "Darious! I think that is enough! His eyes.. are emerald again!"

Arious fell backward, letting the purple flames surround him. "Thank god..." he murmured. He looked at Darious amazed. He was pretty much completely black from what he could see. "Darious.. I owe you my life.. If I turned into a Shadow creature... I do not know what I would do... Ask for anything.. I shall give it... Any favor... I swear to it on my honor as a black robe mage."

Shadow coughed. He had an idea. "Darious... this favor could be interesting... Think of what we were talking of earlier... This could be your chance to have fun with a certain person." He grinned. Though in truly in his mind he was worried about Darious.

Liam immediately winced. The shadows were dampening his magic more than he had planned. However he wasn't going to give in. He would become stronger than his father. He looked at Saya. "So this is were you stay." He trailed off hearing voices. "Is that... Shadow and the others?" However.. He swore he heard Arious. He shook his head. That couldn't be. He was curious to meet the one his mother had fallen for, then betrayed.

Shadow suddenly froze. There is a powerful magic... It feels... like.. Helios? Why in the world is he here?! He didn't move. He would have the man come to him if it was the case.

Silver looked at Rugen and Helios, watching them argue and wondered if it would even work. Before Helios could have decided to kill her when she first met him last. But he kept his calm even around Silver, and April was in his arms at the time. She wondered if seeing her would calm him down. But was she scared of him? She suddenly felt April slip out of her arms and walk over to Rugen and Helios with no fear.

April tilted her head as she approached Helios and Rugen fighting. She could feel their energies on high and her ears folded back.

Josline looked around Kakariko, wondering where Ezlo had gone. "He was on Opal's head last when she was kidnapped." Josline said, thinking back.

Opal stepped when he glared at her. "...N-no of course not." She said quickly.

(Gotta go, will be back later)

Shadow choked a laugh while running forward and catching Darious. "Fool.. He could have killed himself... sort of... Now Arious... You said you swore on your honor as a black robe mage... No turning back now."

Arious just stared at Darious for a couple of seconds. He turned his head away. "Damn... Him.. .Son.. of a .... there... is no hell... and way..." He slammed his fist on the ground. "However... I swore... Should I break that promise... My magic shall dissipate... Damn him! Of all things! Silver..."

Shadow shook his head. This would be funny. However he sensed the power coming nearer. He looked at the doorway.

Liam nodded. "Thanks Saya... I shall not be too long." He opened the door and his eyes widened. He saw Arious... then he saw another Arious... However the other one had black hair and his skin was covered in black shadow... He eyes then looked to the man in the opposite corner of the room. Was it... Vaati? He couldn't tell... something was different... He wasn't in purple... not to mention he looked different too. However his eyes stopped on a figure on the floor. He was holding Darious. From his appearance... He looked to be.. Human... sort of. He wore a black tunic along with chain mail and white pants and boots. There was a sword clipped to his back and a shield lay in the corner. He wore a hat, and from underneath that hat, jet black hair sprang out covering half of his face that was slightly pale. His eyes were normal... except they were colored a deep ruby color. Liam just stared at the man. He was a very handsome man, strongly built. He looked to be a good height. Liam blinked then bowed. "I am Liam. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Shadow stared. There was a young man before him, about his age. He looked like the exact replica of Helios... but he had these blue green eyes. Was this Lisaya's son from the future? "Same to you... I am Shadow Link.... but call me Shadow..." He said this slowly still looking over the man. Why had he come here? At times like this he wished he could read minds to see what was going on...

"...Dammit Helios! You can't change the past! The truth has been revealed! You can't do anything!" Rugen was holding Helios back who was fuming.

Helios tried to free himself from his friend. "Rugen... I cannot let this happen! I could lose... He is my only son! That I know of... To have him hate me... I must do something! Shall I have him despise me forever? I think not! I shall take his memories of this..." He then paused seeing April. He looked past her and saw Silver and Lisaya.

Arious ground his teeth. "I... swore... to her that I would never let Darious near her again... Li-Liam...?" He said when he saw Liam. Why was he here? However, he kept his mouth shut.

Liam bowed his head. "Shadow, I would like to apologize to you... For my mother... and for my Father..." He spat out the word father. "...You were wronged in a horrible way. I have seen everything... I am sorry. If there is anything I can do... any kind of reparations I can give you..."

Shadow stared. Why was he apologizing for his parents? "Listen. There is nothing you can do to change the past. There is one thing I want... and that is to be your father..." He quickly added after his awkward statement, "As in that I was the one to marry your mother. I know that you fully understand that your father ruined my life..." He crossed his arms. He knew that was never going to happen... but he could still dream couldn't he?

Liam rose from his bow. "What you ask of me... is very hard for me to do... I would but... to alter the future that much would be too dangerous." He grinned at Shadow's widened eyes. "You see, I can travel into the past and future along with different dimensions. I could go back and somehow stop my mother from betraying you. But you see... If I did that, I would make myself disappear... If my parents were never married, then I would not be here. Sorry... not going to do that..." He let his eyes wander over to Vaati... or at least to the guy who looked like him. "Who are you?" He asked, curious. His uncle had told him stories about a man that had loved to pull pranks on his father. he wonder if this was him.

Silver blinked at Helios and Rugen. She moved to ask what had happened and what all the shouting was about, but April beat her to it. Silver felt fear for her daughter's life once again. She wondered if Helios would be angry enough to harm her daughter. She took a step forward, ready to use her light speed if she was in danger in any way possible.

April made her way, stumbling over to the ground and stopped in front of Rugen and Helios, arching her neck back and stared up at them with her big violet eyes. "What's wrong? Why are you fighting?" April asked, her voice sounding worried.

Opal felt her glare pierced her and almost looked away to sigh. But she didn't and continued to looked Vaati fearfully back at Vaati, as if she feared he would hurt her. But... really she wasn't scared of what he would do to her. It's what he said. Suddenly her ears perked up and looked up, seeing the Ezlo was gone from her head. Had he leaped off when she tackled Zathier to the ground? She hoped he was alright.

"Hey Ezlo!!! Where did you get to you old bird!?" Josline shouted looking around for the hat. It was more likely that Ezlo jumped off of Opal's head when Vaati took her away. And she remembered her vision from her dream.

Arious put his head in his hands. "I know he won't... but might as well..."

Shadow simply stared at Liam. He can travel into the past and future?! He could... change all these events... But he has a point... He would be pretty much killing himself for doing so. Shadow just watched the man.

Liam smiled. "I see... so you are the one who so graciously painted my father's bedroom pink with hearts? My my... My uncle told me so much about you." He couldn't believe he was meeting these people. In the future, Kinado had said that he had burned the shadows away... but he finally understood what he meant. He had killed these beings. He wouldn't tell them that.

Helios clentched his fists. "April... Please. I had... a bit of an arguement with your cousin Liam.... And I am afraid I am quite angry at him..." He closed his eyes. He would not harm her... It was not her fault.

Rugen stared at Helios shocked. "Well well well... It seems that our hothead has gained an ounce of self control."
