Welcome to Gaia! ::

Josline blinked seeing Kaze lie down next to her. Heart thudding against her chest, blinking at him, not even hearing Vaati shout at her. She was too focused on the fact that Kaze was lying next to her. There was no hesitation, he just... did.

Opal walked over to Vaati, nudging his hand. "Vaati? A-are you alright?" She asked, worried that he had turned evil again. She didn't want a repeat of yesterday.

"She has to answer my question first!" Vaati hissed, staying put. He was offended, even though he wasn't exactly sure what he had to be offended about.

Arious looked away. How would he tell that she was a half breed? It would be an awkward conversation. "Sweetie... You mommy is an elf and you are part elf yourself because I am an Elonacian... or human. You have elven ears like your mother. You see... Helios and Lisaya are Elonacian... so he has rounded ears like an Elonacian. People from different places are different. But we are all the same because we all share a beating and loving heart." He put her hand to Liam's chest allowing to feel his tiny heart beat. He put it to her own so she could feel her strong one. "See? It is the same, even if we look different on the outside."

Lisaya smiled down at her child and niece. Her brother did a better job at explaining the difficult question then she could have. "Your dad is right, April."

Helios stood by and nodded. He wished to be alone with Lisaya, but he didn't want to be rude to the child.

Rugen sighed relieved. "Thank you.. Now come I have something to show you." He gave her neck one last kiss before getting up to his feet.

Shadow laughed at Darious' response. "You think she enjoyed it? My my... what has come over our little Silver? Hmph. You think she wants a naughty man like you instead of the good guy Arious? Perhaps.. she has a wild side after all..." He ignored the comment about Saya. He could care less about her. He was more interested his Darious' love life.... perhaps because his was pretty much screwed over. So why not Ruin Arious'? there was nothing better to do. Besides.. he wanted to see Darious happy. "I think you should see her again Darious. I could distract Arious for a while. Besides.. I shall have to drag him back here so Liam can get his magic back."

Liam nodded. "I see. Any ideas fr a name yet? I like the sound of Shadiam or maybe Shiam... up to you. He is your kid." Liam staggered however. He felt nauseous. He put a hand to his forehead.

April looked up at her father when he looked away. What was wrong? Was there something he didn't want to tell her? Listening intently to what he had to say, then looking over at Liam, feeling his little heart beat, then her own. "Oh, I see." April piped up, scooting over to Liam. She looked into his blue green eyes. Then looked up at Helios, bending over and whispering 'you have to look exactly like your daddy okay?' but it was so quiet no one could hear. She looked up at Helios again, seeing that he was staring at Lisaya. "Daddy, I think Uncle Helios wants to be alone with Auntie Lisaya." April said, hearing a small voice in her head telling her that Helios wished to be alone with Lisaya, this time she listen to it, which was strange. The little voice seemed to match Helios'.

Din looked at Rugen, smiling softly standing up with him when he said he had something to show her.

Silver was sitting against the tree's sighing softly. She had her knees up against her chest, looking down at her bare feet. Was there something missing? She had a loving husband, a darling child, and a home. What was missing. "... Adventure..." She whispered, remembering the battle against the Shinra. Had she thrown her love of adventure away when she married Arious. Like Lisaya? When she kissed Darious, did she feel that feeling of adventure once more? No... I'm married now... I'm not going back... I'll just have to get use to it... she thought staring at her ring.

Opal looked at Vaati sadly. He sounded sharp, seeing him motion her to follow. She slowly walked over to him nervously, then broke out into a steady trot, following after him.

Josline was still looking at Kaze, still nervous about him being so close. But then she suddenly forgot about her nervousness, laying her head against his chest, falling asleep easily, comfortable next to him. Even if he was lying next to her.

Kaze smiled at Josline and held her close. "Just rest." He whispered softly to her.

"Use some of mine until I get back." Saya touched him, transferring a little of her steel blue to him. It wouldn't save him for long, so she need to act fast. She warped out, carrying her baby with her, and appeared out of Arious' shadow. "Arious, you inconsiderate, pathetic excuse of a human!" She shouted, grabbing his ear and yanking back to the Shadow Realm, taking no notice of April.

"Well, I guess... but I already sense Arious here. Dark, you'll have to wait until Vaati has... cooled down a little." Darious mumbled and held up his glass. "Wine, Dark?"

"Pfft... as if." Dark mumbled, glancing over at Shadow.

Arious rolled to the ground April trailing behind him. Saya probably didn't notice that they were holding hands. He pulled April close. "Saya... what is going on? Why in the world have you brought me here?" He then blinked. He saw Liam clutching his arms around himself... but it was like he was a ghost.. half there, half gone. "What the hell?! Liam!"

Liam winced in pain as he could barely make out Arious his Shadow mom and his cousin. The other half was the destructed realm. He gasped seeing Kinado waiting for him, smiling. He almost began to cry. If he vanished completely, he would die... especially with out his magic.

Shadow shook his head. "If Arious is here, the better the reason to go now! You can toy with her! Then I can bring him back when the time is right." He snatched the bottle of wine out of Darious' hand and poured himself another glass. Things looked a little blurry.

Rugen sighed. "Din... When I was fourteen, I moved to this castle to be part o the King's court. My parents... My father died in a ship wreck.... and mother committed suicide. I had no one. Before my dad went, I was sent here to learn how to be a mage. Helios and I came to be the best of friends." He opened the door slowly, some of the light from the halfway flood in. There were layers of dust everywhere.
