Welcome to Gaia! ::

Opal looked up at Lisaya, seeing her glance around again. Did she... hear something on the wind? An ice cold breeze blew through the area, and disappeared with a flash. "Le-let's get out of here, it kind of feels like a storm is going to blow in." Opal chattered, even though the wind couldn't make her cold. She walked over taking Lisaya's hand, it was cold to the touch. "We'll find shelter before it starts to rain." Opal said, trying to lift Vaati up, "If he only turned into a cat... it would be much easier to carry him."

April looked at her hand when she felt something touch it. She jolt up, looking behind her. Her heart was thumping like mad, her eyes darting around. Where could he be if he wasn't in the Black God's hands anymore. "Where are you... where would you go?" She murmured to herself, thinking to herself. Suddenly her eyes suddenly widened. She had to get to Salin... before he took his anger out on her!

Silver followed swiftly after Shira and Arious. "He only has concern for you Shira... I don't believe any mortal except for Arious should wield his magic... it's too much for anyone to handle..." Silver explained, keeping close steps behind them to make sure that nothing happened. She suddenly felt a sweep of cold air. She almost felt a twinge that made her want to pull out her sword and kill someone... but who?

Larken glanced at the two adults in front of him rather curiously. "What? You don't know her secret?"

Shira picked up a rock and, without looking behind her, threw it in between Silver and Arious, hitting Larken in the forehead. "You shut up!"

Larken raised an eyebrow and held his smarting forehead. "If I underestimated these two, I would kill you right now..." he muttered. He meant it.

Shira ignored her brother, though she was secretly thrilled. Arguing like this was the most sibling-like thing she had done with Larken. It only reinforced her fierce determination to find his master and kill him. "Anyway," she said, a bit calmer, "I can understand how magic is dangerous for the body that it doesn't belong to. However, there are three things about me that protect my body and mind from breaking."

(Shira and Larken are being more brotherly/sisterly then they've ever been- probably because Larken's intimidated by Silver and Arious.)
(So if Jin's safe for now... now what?)

((Oh Don't worry Shira. We shall be busy for a while. Now it is time for MY super awesome major plot. Though I need to speak with you...))

Arious stared at Shira and Larken in amusement. If he hadn't known better, he could have said that was what he and Lisaya looked like when they were younger. She had always scolded him for his experiments. However, he sensed something amiss as the air grew slightly colder and the sky darkened. "What's this..?" He asked in confusion. At times like this, he wished he had his magic back. It already felt like decades since he used it, even though it had maybe been a couple of hours.

Endymion and Rugen suddenly froze in their spot. Endymion immediately recognized the power so similar to his own and disappeared. Rugen looked at Din then sent her to Swerth without a word. He then disappeared heading toward Salin.

((Now this is epic. As you read this post... listen to This. ))

Lisaya nodded at Opal trying to understand what had just happened. "I can take us to the cast-" However, she suddenly stopped as she felt herself being surrounded by freezing air. Suddenly Opal and Vaati were blasted away leaving Lisaya standing frozen to the spot. It seemed as if the whole sky darkened as the air got icy cold. Lisaya began to turn slowly fearing what was behind her.

"Lisaya!"

Lisaya spun around hearing the anger in Helios' voice. He stood in full glory with his arm offered to her. She stared in awe. She was equally amazed as terrified at the sight before her. "Helios..." She whispered in awe as his power rose in her senses calling her to him. Suddenly she felt as if she were drawn to him as if she needed him. She closed her eyes slightly and took a small step toward him feeling the icy wind pulling her forward. Her curls whipped about her as she slowly began walking toward him.

Shadow Link followed Lisaya's magic until he found her in Salin along with Vaati and Opal. However he also sensed another great power... No... It cannot be him... he is DEAD! He thought to himself in anger. He appeared out of the shadows to be blown back by a blizzard of icy wind and raw power. He shielded his face and took in the surroundings. Immediately he saw Lisaya walking toward... Helios. "NO! Lisaya!" He tried to run forward but found himself forced back. Helios stood beckoning to Lisaya while a mysterious power emitted from him. He watched Helios for a minute then realized something... He was different... His magic was hardly even blue... it was more of pale lilac color... and his eyes... were the same lifeless matching color. That... isn't Helios... something is wrong! He was always... blue eyed... He reached out for Lisaya but was blinded when Helios exploded in light blinding everyone looking on. Shadow roared out in pain and recoiled back into the shadows as his skin hissed as it burned. Soon enough pain overwhelmed him and the shadow passed out on the floor of the Shadow Palace.

Shira shied back as the air became colder, the skies darker. She felt some sort of miasma of evil power roll through the castle. "What the hell-" A huge blast of something shook the floor. "Okay, bad," she decided, gripping her sword. "I think it came from the forest." She quickened her pace, hurrying out of the castle.

Larken followed close behind his sister, temporarily changing his energy back to normal. "What's going on?" he asked.

"I'm not the one with the evil master!" Shira snapped. "How do I know you have nothing to do with this?"

"I'm here. With you," Larken pointed out. For a few moments they were almost brother and sister again, just two kids bickering. Then the Triforce consumed his thoughts again.

"Get back behind the other two," Shira said almost in a daze. She felt someone familiar- more than one. They shouldn't be here, she thought.

(I'm not worrying. I'm partially waiting for someone to ask what those three things are. I'm pretty sure that Silver doesn't know about the Triforce... then again, my memory has been lying to me these days.)

Kazelina looked around in utter confusion. Normally, she probably would have been able to sense such an icy cold wind, but she had very little strength at the moment. All she knew was that some guy appeared out of no where, and that, apparently, Lisaya and Opal knew who he was. And now, there was yet another person there. Part of her felt left out with all that was going on, but most of her was telling her to go help Lisaya and leave as fast as possible.

Kaze rubbed Josline's back comfortingly. "It's all right. We're both okay, and that's what matters." By this time, all the doctors had stepped out to give the two some privacy.

Sazs reappeared back in the room Saya was in. "I'm back." He stated plainly. Normally, he would have told her what he had to do, but since it involved helping Kaze, he thought it best not to degrade himself by telling anyone.

Vaati slowly came around again, and opened his eyes again. His arm was hurting more than it usually did, and he found himself lying down in a strange position with his arm under his body. It wouldn't surprise him if the wound on his arm had opened again. Vaati's eyes moved over to stare at a stranger. He didn't recognize the magic, but he looked familiar. "Opal..."
