Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryo smirked a bit. "Obviously I did have to yes. And your welcome Sil. It's only proper for one who has unanswered questions can not focus on tasks at hand in their studies until those questions are answered." Ryo said repeating something his older brother said once before and in a few moments after that the car passed through the gates of estate heading towards the mansion.

Once the car stopped a man stood in the doorway as a butler rushed out to the car opening the door to let her out. "Welcome home my lady." He said offering his hand to help her out.
------
Sodain stood back watching the chaos that ensued from his doing when pressured by those people knowing he likely would be lectured by Espona later if not sooner through the communicator link. But he at least amused himself a bit.

The butler walked slowly. "A little of both, towards you would be worry, not anger though he waits just inside the door for your safe return." The butler said while the lone man stood there waiting looking a little more relieved seeing her looking unharmed. He looked like he was about to run out the door but getting close he stopped and backed up seemed odd he wold not take a step outside.

"Well I am glad your safe now get in here and explain to me what happened young lady." The man said moving back so she could enter and once she would would walk to his study that had no windows at all. He looked between his daughter and Kino waiting to hear what happened standing next to his desk arms folded.

He looked to his daughter with a raised brow hearing Kino's report and took the book looking at the poem turning as he read the poem the froze turning a little pale at the poem. Turning a few pages he looked and the other poems listed seemed out of place to that one. Turning back to it he sighed. "I see thank you Kino for telling me this." He closed the book and then put it in his safe locking it away so there could be no way Sil could read it anymore.

"Ignore what that man said that would be the best thing Sil. Someone like him is nothing but trouble and it is possible though he seemed nonthreatening at the time might be one of those who have sent letters pointing to threats of kidnapping you. This is why I have you shadowed usually. Some people think they can get me to do what they want by threatening kidnapping you since the numerous death threats to my own person has not made me do so. Though these people that sent these threats I doubt them to take action upon them.

But it never hurts to be safe this is why though you don't like it I have you followed." He said prepared for outrage from his daughter from him locking the book away. As well as possibly a lecture on having her followed.
-------
Sodain walked away after a while finding a old temple like place that was well hidden by magic and found the inside was in pretty fair condition. Looking around he sighed having memories flood back looking around the place and then sat in the stone throne like chair and waited. "I never thought I would sit in this chair for any reason. I do not sit here to disrespect ye who lived and trained in the shadows here. I am just borrowing it as it is the more stable seating in this place." He said closing his eyes the poem part he spoke to that girl ran through his mind and he sighed.

"....Claws sharper then diamonds, teeth stronger than a thousand stones and breath as hot as a volcano. Wings that can block out the sun as I take flight. Fear me if you wish though I am not a threat, Even though a dragon I be I only make those who harm innocents suffer." He said softly to himself. "If ye heart is blackened by taint from harming innocents beware the temple cloaked from all eyes by shadow for you shall neither see us nor hear us come for you until our blades sink deep into your flesh then and only then shall you know what lies in the shadows of justice.

If you wish to learn seek the beast at the heart of Tempala the temple cloaked by shadow and if ye be pure of heart and eager to learn, The beast awaits those who have the right to join our clan. Seek out the shadows if ye dare." He muttered softly opening his eyes. "Just like back then I spoke the same to her when we met. Yet she exists yet this girl I met tonight I was compelled to riddle her the same as I riddled Silvia. Yet I know Silvia exists as herself. So why was I compelled to repeat the past. Might she be worthy of the shadow clan of this temple?" He questioned himself not aware Silvia's actual soul may had been reborn.

"The poem tells of a dragon, which no no dragons exist any longer if they ever existed at all. If indeed they once lived and ruled over the sky long long ago all dragons was sought out to be slain and people capable of such feats did not rest until every last one was gone. You would think with those that were able to slay a dragon in battle gone past times limits on their lives that if any dragons indeed existed they would have shown up to take vengeance upon man kind long before now.

So I do not trust people who use a poem to describe a dragon for their own description. Do to the lack of evidence about dragons ever living in this world, no sign of them for several thousands of years just to have someone spout that poem is suspicious in its self." He said rather irritably. "Besides just because I feel those who threaten won't act upon it that does not mean others won't kidnap you." He said calming down a bit as he sat down opening a book different and read it slowly. After a few minutes he looked up. "Your still here? I thought you would take the hint of me reading this book to say we was done regarding the issue." He said seeming a little cold about it. "By the way Sil next time you go out at least take Ryo or one of his clan so I can rest easy you will be safe." He said then resumed reading waiting for the ones that disobeyed orders to be brought in for interrogations.

outside the room Ryo seemed to be dressed in regular clothing and excited about something.
-----
There came a strong pounding at the door to the home he man and Kala was sitting in. After a few minutes the knocking became harder and seemed agitated. If someone looked out they might see armed guards patrolling the area.

He nodded to Kino. "I would like you present yes, and if they are uncooperative you have permission to slowly sharpen one of your blades in front of them if you like. But I don't want them crossing paths with Sil. She likely if she thought they was harmlessly just looking out for her though it upsets her when she is followed she might try to defend them." He said to Kino.

Ryo smirked. "Well i'm under cover actually. I was assigned to check out the new museum artifacts where they have the original works of those poems on display. They claim to have discovered a dragon fossil skeleton. Though it just might be a mix of dinosaur fossils like the last supposed dragon skeleton fossil. I got two admissions tickets as well. I was simply told 'Be sure to take someone who majored in history with me to investigate' I was not told who to take or not to take. And it is a semi formal event thus the reason I am dressed like this." He said getting closer. "Care to join me Sil?" He asked in a low tone smirking also knowing it was likely her best chance to get answers to her questions of the things she wrote down.
---------
One guard look sternly. "We have witnesses that says they seen you carry a body that looked to have washed ashore into your house. If it was still alive and we demand entrance to investigate this claim on order of his royal highness failure to comply will result in disaster." He said looking coldly at the man behind the door.

The man sighed and after hours of interrogation decided they had no anterior motives with the help of Kiro when needed he said to them sighing with disgust. "Now get out of here before I change my mind and place a bounty hit upon you for annoying me! But you ever disobey my orders to not follow Sil again and there is a hit contract out on you at this moment the next time you disobey my orders it goes active and there will be no regret in this matter. Understood Kiro?" More or less telling Kiro the next time they are seen disobeying to just kill them and not to hold back how it is done.
------
Ryo rides his high tech silent motorcycle with Sil on the back of it to go o the museum. It would take about an hour and a half to get there park and secure his bike. And to head towards the doors. "Here is your ticket for entry Sil. All displays are open to your looking at them. So feel free to use the original poems to find your answers, But also take note of the fossils on display and write down your findings. This way you can present your father with the true findings of your opinion so he would not get upset if he finds out you came with me." He said smiling softly and offered his arm to escort her to the entrance after handing her the ticket.
---------
The one guard glimpsed Kala out of the corner of his eye. "You live alone and pay the single resident tax by the records we have. If we find a second person here you are in trouble specially if you have proof she is a relation or spouse you will be taxed back for the both. And then be arrested for falsifying information. As you know adding a resident to your dwelling legally you must file papers regarding such before they move in. As well as filing marriage rights papers to allow a spouse to move in legally.

And if you do not have these papers filed before a second person dwells within this house it is punishable by being enlisted into his majesties army for as long as he deems you to be punished for. Which would be the most kind of the punishments to be dealt. You interefere or prevent us from investigation and you by the laws of his majesty can and will be held accountable for treason sir. Now open up and allow us to do our investigation, Attempt to inflict harm upon us will result in the immediate execution of your being and seizure of all your property. Comply and you might be rewarded should this be a false accusing of a second person being inside this dwelling." He said coldly not letting on he sees the girl.

People all wandered about not a lot of them just mostly other scientists a few debutantes and their guests who was permitted to see before it was opened to the public. There was a display case with scrolls of poems written in an odd language with a mark on them of untranslated poem like pattern lines, there was a mark on these scrolls of the shadow clan, several similar types of scrolls with different marks some of an eye pattern where the center looked either like a dagger, curved blade shuriken, a dragon like slitted eye with a crown over the top, as well as others as if it was like one clan but different branches signifying the branch by a different mark.

Some of the marks looked faded hard to recognize, Some that could show that there was a secret order of things. Some marks that could even haunt peoples dreams specially if someone had a recurring dream of an age long past of a secret order of assassins should one dream of past lives. There was a plaque that read "Secret order of the shadow assassin clans or what was construed as marks of secret assassin guilds or clans found on secret coded documents related with historical moments of assassinations." was what the signs read not entirely accurate at times but one mark in particular stood out from others.

But then there was a poem translated not fully accurate that read "Seek ye the shadows temple to learn the secrets of the deathly shadows." What was partially translated though the translation was wrong. Though to those whose past life memories revealed themselves in dreams allowing certain people to be able to read the actual words of this poem actually means something very different than what was translated wrongly.

A voice would call out seeming distant only those effected those once of the shadow clan could hear it. "Child why do you fight it. Why do you fight your self you was gifted with a special gift. Yet you fight to keep it within." If Sil focused on this voice she may see in her mind a man sitting in a stone chair in some kind of temple wearing a hood of some kind. Emblazoned with the shadow clan marks. As well as archways on a pale grey stone wall each with a different symbol over the archway.

"Child if you can hear me over the sound of your power screaming to be let out to be free and become one with you once more. Seek out the place that calls to you. Seek the shadows where there waits one who awaits you." As the voice faded it was like a fast moving video moving from the place out away as if rapidly moving and showing the path in reverse so to speak in her mind. If she was able to hear the voice, and see the place in her mind. The path zoomed through the city to the museum as if flying towards her body and as if flying into her body before it was done. Should she have seen it.

Ryo seeing and hearing this ran over grabbing and holding Sil close. "Everyone stay back!" He said yelling at them shaking trying to help and placed his hand on Sil's head focusing his energy not really a magic power, but more like using his physical energy to try and help calm her something strong people taught in the ancient arts of oriental energy manipulation otherwise known as a Chi master. He tried using his own energy to help Sil with what was going on to try getting her to calm down and to calm her powers before it got too out of hand. Ryo did how ever notice a slight cracking sound noticing her restriction bracelet started to crack not knowing if he could contain it. Not sure what would happen if it broke free.

Security had rushed into the room keeping people back away having people evacuate the area. Ryo spoke calmly "Sil listen to my voice if you can hear me. Just focus on my voice and ignore every other sense, emotion, pain, or sound just focus on my the sound of my voice. Think back to the first time we met. Think back to the fun we had together and try to regain your focus and calm as you listen to just my voice." He said hoping to reach her before it was too late to calm her.
