Welcome to Gaia! ::

April let out a deep sigh, "When I was little, my father died fighting his own shadow. The black god was angry that Arious had stolen his gift back when he had fairly traded it with him to get his sister back in the past. However... that was not all my father's gift, for the reason why he's alive... and he has his gift back is because of me... Apparently, I have half of it. So every time my father uses it, or it's outside his body, the magic pulls towards mine, wanting to rejoin with the half it's missing... I can't get near the girl unless I want the magnet pull to literally kill me." April explained. She looked away, as if letting something so weak to affect her, shamed her to the bone. Like it wasn't enough that her own magic despised her and wished to be reunited with it's own gift... but the fact that her own gift wasn't her own gift.

(Both Shira and Larken are in Hyrule. April teleported Arious, Lisaya, silver, Larken, and Shira to Hyrule. Other than that, I don't know their exact whereabouts. But all of those people are definitely in Hyrule.)

Diel ran. Paw after paw, he ran, but he wasn't sure where to. He was merely following the girl in front of him, and at that moment, he didn't even remember who that girl was. Only that she was a girl. Was she friend or foe? He didn't remember. It didn't matter anyway. Diel didn't even feel his own body, his tails swishing in the wind, his ears perking up to listen to a sound in the distance, or his nose as it breathed in vital air. It was all numb to Diel, for his mind was visiting the past. His kingdom, his home, his love had been broken away from him. And his mind, in turn, broke with it all just a few hours ago when he had learned the truth.

Water. Diel looked and saw water. It took a few minutes to register with his mind. Apparently they had been running to a lake. Lake Hylia was the name that the sign read. Diel vaguely remembered a place like this. Slowly, Diel trotted across a bridge, absentmindedly, towards an island with a single tree.

(I'll let you get in a post before I go any further, Shiekah. ^^)

(What post? The one with Diel or when everyone got zapped back to Hyrule? =O)

Diel didn't hear Ebony. He looked into the water, a calm, tortured soul. He felt exhausted. He didn't want to think about the past anymore. He didn't want to feel anymore. He didn't want to be anymore. If only he could just vanish with the rest of his tribe. Perhaps that would be best.

Diel's head was calm and cool, and just as he had given up all hope, it happened. Diel raised his head with a choking sound. His neck throbbed. No, it wasn't his neck, it was the amulet!

Pulsating, it spread through his body. With a howl he started to shake, a light glowing around his body. When it faded, a trembling Gerudo was there. Hands and knees on the ground, clutching the grass on the edge of the lake with pain-stricken eyes that had just the right touch of intimidation to them.

"It's about time..." a grim voice came from the top of the tree. The poe hovered there, watching Diel.

"Don't be alarmed," The poe said to Ebony, "I am a spirit of unrest. During my life I committed a great crime. I am merely here to pay my debt."

"Who... are... you?" Diel managed through heavy breathes.

"My name is not important. What is important is what I know. Yes, I know quite a bit about you, Diel. A fallen king from a lost era. That amulet you wear; I'm sure you've realized by now that it is not just an average piece of jewelry."

Diel placed his right hand over the golden amulet. His breathing was still heavy.

"It is very powerful. You cannot hope to control it in your current state."

(I need to go to bed soon, but I might be able to get in one more post).

Arious finally took a relieving breath. At least she was going to try... There was still some hope then. "Alright. Let us try this again. My magic is most likely locked in that volcano which you speak of. Try pressuring it slightly to easily release its gases... Gently... You don't want it to..." He trailed off knowing that she could easily fill in the word. He took a deep breath and took her hands into his once more. "Easy now."

Endymion watched April and thought a moment. "I see... probably a curse from the Black God to surely punish Arious." He walked toward the palace a second then stopped. "I am powerless against.. Helios or Lisaya in this matter without the rest of my magic." He sighed and brushed his long hair back allowing his face to be fully seen.

Treize lay there still showing no other signs of waking up. It could be days before he woke up. There could even be possible brain damage...

The horse watched her warily from under his thick mane as Kazelina approached. But when she got close, the horse reared up on its hind legs and majestic wings arose from his back. It placed its hooves back on the ground and whinnied at Kazelina.

Arious held onto Shira encouraging her silently. He felt a spark of his magic almost return. But that was enough for him to create a connection between them. You're doing fine... Just pressure it steadily... He was a little confused at what he was seeing though. Something was amiss in the whole matter.
