Welcome to Gaia! ::

Josline touched her throat where the knife had been, her heart was racing hard but she knew it wasn't out of fear, it was out of anger. "You b*****d!" She snapped showing her teeth and rushed him as she darted forward her dagger unsheathed.

Arious stared dumbfounded at the woman before her. "April...? No.. too... old.. but your magic... This... isn't.. possible... How could you have grown so much..." He stuttered in amazement. He walked forward and touched her cheek. "Incredible...!" He smiled and pulled her into a hug. "But how did you break through my force field? The only people that I know that could have broken that thing would be Lisaya, Rugen and a couple others...."

Trieze grinned a little. "Well. Now that we are done playing tag, perhaps we can look at the thing I came to show before you pushed me in?" he said dryly as he let her go and swam to the shore.

Endymion bowed and stood back upright. "My my Arious, you have grown a temper as well took up black. Interesting. Tell. me. might we continue our battle, hmm? I wasn't quite finished when you 'accidentally' took my eye." The man the swept his blue robes back and watched Darious carefully. "Oh... and don't worry about the lady friend. She's at my place. She'll be the prize I suppose. She's pretty enough I dare say... perhaps up for grabs?" He had a sly grin on his face as his cool gray eyes watched him.

Tsunisa smiled and followed Treize to the shore. "Sure." She said, giggling. She climbed out of the water and sat down on the grass. "So, what is it you wanted me to see?" She asked curiously.

Kaze shook his head when he saw the sand again. "What the!?" He had blown all the sand away. How did more sand appear out of nowhere? He tried to reach Joslnie and his sister before he vanished, but to no avail. "DAMNIT!" He shouted.

Kazelina tried blowing the sand away before the three of them vanished, but it was too late. She looked around to find that they were no longer with Kaze and the others. "You!" She swung her staff around, aiming directly for his head.

Trieze nodded and pulled himself out of the water, his pants sticking to him like glue. He wrung out his long dark hair before motioning for her to get up. "It is this way." He then gestured toward the cliff.

Endymion twitched slightly. "What do you mean? Are you not the man who battled me nearly five and a half years ago? You look the same... minus the shadowy effect..." He stated, loosing his cockiness a bit. Is this not the right man? ...hmm... His magic DOES feel a tad different... Endymion shook his head. "The girl is fine. But I am glad I took her. It seems she means something to you even though the short one says she is more of a toy. Not that I was eavesdropping for a bit..."

Trieze nodded and pointed to the lake. Just out over the edge of the cliff was a weeping willow. Off of it hang a long rope. Trieze climbed the tree and grabbed the rope. "It is kinda of like a swing... it is very fun... want to give it a try?" He had built it when he was younger as a toy. He loved swimming so he supposed that this would be the ultimate treat.

Trieze shrugged. "Well, never tried it before.. but what harm could it do..?" He slid down on the rope and nodded for her to follow in suit. He had never shown anyone his little secret... But perhaps it would be interesting.. as long as they didn't land on each other...

"She's not- Look, I merely born of Arious' blood and the essence of shadow. I'm NOT Arious, I'm just the superior shadow." He growled. He would never actually admit that Tris was more than a toy, but the way he acted changed. He straightened up and stared at the stranger in the eye. "If Tris isn't here in when I count to five, I won't hesitate to remove your other eye."

After a short while, Vaati got up and brushed himself off. It didn't matter how he felt about Jin, he would have to report back him eventually. He glanced around quickly, then warped away. He ended back in the torture chamber. It was the only place he ended up memorizing, but it was the room that creeped him out the most. Vaati felt that on day, he would find a dead body still attached to one of the many devices and imagine the pain the pain they most of gone through before their life ended. He nearly shuddered at the thought, then quickly exited the room. He didn't want to stay there.
