Welcome to Gaia! ::

('Tis not a problem. ^_^)

Kaze spun around to check if Josline was all right. He shook his head and walked over to her. "Josline, you just lay down. I don't want to have to find Eva to keep watch over you." He gently pushed her back down on the bed. "I'll find Opal and Vaati. Until then, you need to rest." He gave her a quick kiss on her forehead, and then headed outside. "Now then..." He closed his eyes to search for the two young ones' wing energies. "Two little nekos? In water? Well, that's certainly a surprise." He whispered to himself. "Hey, Vaati, Opal. Where are you two at?" He sent the message along the tranquil wind currents. Things had definitely camed down around Telroth.

(Jos, you forgot Silver.)

Shira shrugged and put the sword down anyway. If something happened, the girl could take it to Silver as proof. She pulled out her boomerang and the bow she had built herself (that was collapsible). She unfolded the bow, checked the string to make sure it was taut, and grabbed a handful of arrows. "Now, where are you?" she muttered.

Arious moved slightly then murmured. "Ah... His eye. I have kept it close to me... " He then paused and swallowed. Arious then began to stretch as he woke up. He yawned and sat up. "Hmm...? April how did I get here-" He then stopped seeing Endymion. HIs eyes then narrowed as he reached for his sword which was not around his waist. It was lying on the table across the room.

Endymion growled as he watched Arious. It then turned to a grin. "You finally wake up, Arious. It took you long enough..." He then rose and stood next to April. "So tell me, where is it?!"

Milamber bowed smiling. "I have many names...But names are not of importance. I have come here seeking the good of heart and the powerful. It is time... to assemble the Band of Seven once again!"

Rugen was astonished then he stuttered. The man's mind speech was powerful... Surely this man couldn't be... "You... You're... the Guardian of Time.... the Protector of Life." He then took a breath trying to gather it all in. "You are the legendary leader of the Band of Seven...Milamber...!"

Lisaya still lay unmoving as the green magic light faded from view. Suddenly she coughed and turned to her side as the dirt began to fall off of her. "A....Arious...." She whispered.

Trisiana smiled at Darious then tapped his nose with her finger. "I am covered by your kisses... Surely you do not wish my father to notice...? Your cologne is quite vividly alive on my skin. I enjoy it... but alas... my father would take it the wrong way... or rather... suspect the truth..." She pulled the sheet over her chest a bit higher and laid back down pulling Darious on top of her. She then stole a kiss.

Shadow moved at the palace trying to find Darious. He had to inform him of what he saw... Helios had abducted Lisaya once more... but the idiot was alive! Or rather awake once more. He heard the deep rumble of the shadow's voice at the end of the hall and he quickened his pace. He reached out to open the door....

Milliardo opened his eyes once again and was surprised. He was no longer in pain and he was definitely not disappearing from existence. That he was happy about. He began to rise slowly wondering what had really happened to his mother.

A door near Shira suddenly opened from nowhere showing a candle lit path that seemed to go on for a while. A voice was heard down the path calling out to the girl.

Arious shook his head at April. "If I give him his magic back, what makes you think he will not turn around and attack me? April what makes you trust this guy?!"

Endymion clenched his fists and then swung a punch a Arious knocking him in the jar and sending him flying off the bed. "Listen Mr. ArrogantAss! I am in no mood for your lashing tongue. I need my magic back so I can save my brother! Would you not do the same for you sister?!"

Lisaya continued to cough as she stretched out her arm. "Silver...?" She whispered desperately.

Milamber gave Rugen a smile then nodded. He then opened his mouth to say something, then closed it. "I cannot break a curse over my speech... The Valheru has stolen my true voice. I can retrieve only by absorbing some of their power.... Or should one of you capture some it..."

Rugen was still trying to get over the fact that there was a legendary character standing before him. "Right... Why... did you come to me though?"

The villager stared at her then burst out laughing. "Of course! The Guardian of Time is an old legend! A MYTH! Arious on the other hand..." He then grew serious. "Are you one of his experiments...? The last one he tried destroyed half of the village!" He then glared at her.

The man shook his head. "Still, you are a threat to our village! Wait... you asay he rescued you..?" He then paled. What if this woman brings him back to the village? Our people could not handle him staying here... "As protector of this vilage, I must ask you to leave... You are not an Elonacian... therefore you could be a spy! Even for the Salin you speak of!"

Silver turned when she heard her friend call out to her. "Lisaya!" Not waiting for Jasmine's signal, and probably running right into the line of fire, however she didn't care, all she cared was for her friend. "Lisaya, you scared me... half to death! You made me and Arious so worried." Fearing that she might put Lisaya through more pain if she hugged her close, she placed her forehead on hers and held her head close.

April screamed in her hands when she saw Endymion throw a punch towards her father, what was that?! She turned and looked over seeing Arious slowly pull himself up, rubbing his jaw. "Please Father! You're both very powerful allies and we need all the help we can get! But Endymion needs his magic, he promised he wouldn't challenge you in any way! And I hold his promise in my mothers ancient language... if he breaks it..." She turned, looking at him, but she didn't want to say the consequences of ones actions against elvish magic.

Shira was not falling for another trap. She stayed away from the light, and she couldn't quite make out the voice. The mantle wasn't working, which meant her primary way out was gone. She felt in her bag for the comfort of her Flute, which was there. She let out a quiet sight of relief. "I thought you wanted me," she taunted, hoping to draw the fake Arious from his hiding place.

Jasmine let the last of the earth into the ground and wiped her sweat-covered forehead. She had done it. The girl was alive. But the Cleric had taken more out of her than she had expected; usually she could do it without feeling this dizzy. She leaned on her staff for support and tried not to show it. "Glad I could help," she smiled. "My name is Jasmine, by the way."

Larken folded his arms. How absurd. He was wasting his time here. Perhaps it was time for him to go. He was obviously no longer needed here, nor did he truly want to stay. Still... he was very curious about the amulet. Perhaps he had use for Jasmine after all. Then he tilted his head. Was that arguing he heard?
