Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ialo only glared at this woman who had the gall to look like Luna. As she touched him, he backed away again. "Where the hell is Luna?" he snarled at her.

He was scared to admit it, but even though she looked like Luna, this woman was familiar in her own right. The memory came forth like lightning. "SETSUKA!" Ialo screamed. "How the HELL are you HERE?!"

Setsuka continued to laugh, throwing her head back. "Poor, oblivious Ialo," she said, circling him. She wrapped her hands around his neck when she stood behind him. "Can't you tell?" she whispered. "Why do you think I am here?"

She ignored Koy. Such a bothersome thing could not require her attention now.

She cackled briefly once again, loving the feel of his pulse speeding up, loving the knowledge that she had done this to him. She knew that she could break him. She would break him, make him crack, force him into a constant state of paranoia. Her fingers tightened briefly, and then... they were gone. She was now standing a few feet from him, examining her fingernails.

"You know what has happened to her, Ialo," she said, voice cool and unemotional. Her eyes flashed as she glanced at him. "Don't you?" She tilted her head to the side, a mask of innocence; a thin veil behind which insanity lurked.

Ialo had never been quite so horrified as he was now. "You..." He knew the pieces of the puzzle. He figured that Setsuka had been sealed away somewhere, since her death was never confirmed, and she was too stubborn to avoid a challenge.

"You killed her..." He couldn't stop his voice from breaking slightly. He knew, just knew, that with that air Setsuka was putting on, that Luna was gone. He never heard Koy call out, and barely registered that she was right there.

And suddenly, the heartbroken fool was gone, swiftly replaced by an angry dragon. Ialo launched forward and tackled Setsuka, throwing her to the floor. He was strong, very strong, and he hit her as hard as he could.

But Setsuka was gone. As Ialo had run toward her, she'd smirked, licked her lips. Then, she had disappeared--his attack did not hit her. Instead, it hit the basement wall. He'd have to repair that.

She disappeared, off to haunt the other schools, if only briefly. She wanted to know how to invade each school. She was going to take not only Mystic Fountain's relic, but every school's.

"Ialo...Something's wrong with Ialo." Danni shivered once, but then her eyes went hard, and she got to her feet. "I'm going to Ialo." She didn't wait for Edlest's response, and merely opened up a teleport.

"Take me to the headmaster." She said simply, and the black portal engulfed her. Moments later, she appeared beside Ialo, and was almost taken to her knees at the bloodlust in his aura.

"Ialo...Ialo, you have to calm down. I don't...I don't know what's wrong, but you have to calm down." She put her hands on his shoulders, barely even jerked as she did the only thing she could, taking some of his anger, his hatred, and drawing it into herself.

"Calm down." She murmured, even as her own eyes blazed with fury, quickly banked down.

Impatience flickered in Danni's gaze, courtesy of the anger she'd taken from him. So she took more, as much as she could handle, and when that didn't seem to be enough she used her contact with him to perform a quick spell.

The next thing Ialo knew, he was a toad, sitting in Danni's palm.

"You go off now, Ialo, and you'll die. You need a clear head. You know that." She stroked the toad's back, holding it securely, continuing to draw out the negative aura into her own body.
