Welcome to Gaia! ::

Asuru shook his head pinching his nose. "Just how much did you use to put him out Corin?" Asuru asked watching him. Then looking to the sketch of this Kino fellow he stared at it thinking closing his eyes. "Its impossible it couldn't be him.... But there is no mistake...." Asuru sighed looking down and away from it as if he could not look at it too much. "I watched him die. He was buried in a tomb here." Asuru said hurrying walking quickly or floating rather but made it look like he was walking. Pulling a torch a small rumbling was felt as a staircase appeared as the floor lowered slowly There was a doorway where he summoned a key into his hand and unlocked it opening it and walked in not sure if anyone followed him.

Asuru looked around at the plaques on the wall there was 5 very stylish designed plaques with the names of the royal family one how ever was broken the slab looked to have been broken but there was no shards of it inside and the coffin looked like it was ripped open from the inside as if someone or something broke out from inside it. Asuru looked stunned just staring at it. "What the...." He said scratching his head blood long dried on the plaque read 'I died but still was not dead. I shall riddle this as I seek the answer.' Asuru seemed panicked a little. "If I didn't know better I would say it looked like he tore out of his coffin but how, He did not have that much strength to tear the metal but it looks like bare hands was used as there is bloody handprints on the coffin metal. But only for three sets. Then it was like no blood on them." Asuru said shaking his head confused.

"He also was not as young as that sketch upon his death, that crazed madman bit tearing a chunk out of Great great grandfathers neck trying to drink his blood Kino stabbed the man in his chest and the man stabbed his hand into Kino's before Sodain swung a sword that burned like the sun which took the madmans head off but the oddest thing Grandfather Kino with the last ounce of strength tossed this man to the side as his body burned bursting into ash. And Sodain sighed looking to him and said "We will meet again in another life. Sorry I was not faster." Grandfather Kino did not blame him. With his last breath he said "take care of my great nieces, They will need you." Then Kino died." Asuru said looking to Kalia

"You and your sister had to be the nieces he spoke about. He was your Uncle from your mothers side. though I don't know why he said that, the attack I just spoke of was after the two of you was killed. He had no other nieces. Though could he have meant these recent days? As it says those who are on the verge of death can see things to come." Asuru asked puzzling this confusedly.

Asuru shook his head a bit. "I don't know, If anyone got in here it was not known. For that matter how did he get out its not like there is another door. infact there is just this one and it was always guarded. And it takes a very special kind of key that has the teeth to open the tumblers of the lock inside a tube part of the key. So its impossible to pick. Plus reviving him would not have made him strong enough to tear titan steel apart like this." Asuru said trying to figure it out.

Sodain's voice spoke softly. "Over here. Follow my voice only you can hear it Kalia. The state I am in my mind is aware of things around me but I can only talk to certain people as my body sleeps. Though I speak in your mind follow the direct it sounds like it is coming from and unknown secrets shall open up to your mind." sounding to come from a corner where a tree root seemed to be like stone from the ceiling down along the wall. A small puzzle with sliding tiles was set into the stone root. A small plaque reading "When the lark catches the fish freedom shall be yours"

Asuru also looked closer at everything there was no drafts that could be felt or seen this place looked absolutely air tight. "I am not sure perhaps it was possible, But I am not sure if anyone did." He said still stumped.

Ryo sighed blinking seeing a living dragon take up a large area of the floor. Getting a worried look he seen it was sleeping and carefully went wide around the back side of the room. "Well I got ahold of the others I work with. Told them Sil and I are safe, in a abandoned building for the night in hiding. Told them about the bounty hunters, and... My bike... How did that get in here and when... Anyway told them my bike was fried and Sil is in bed from a tiring night of events. And told them I need to fix it from the energy disruption blast the bike was hit with for them trying to catch me. Though told them the bounty hunters no longer was a bother at the moment having lost them. So everything is safe and we would return in the morning or as soon as I get the bike running and Sil wakes, which ever was first." He said placing the phone down on the table as he looked to Corin having told him. So if a message was relayed to Sodain about it he would get it .

In the building where calls and orders are received and where it was the check-in station a person sighed hanging the phone up. "Great I don't want to tell Omasa or Kino that." The operator said groaning. Omasa being the head guy that was ready to battle Sodain in that ally as Ryo and Kino got Sil away the first time as well as Omasa being Ryo's older brother.

Kalista was deep asleep from the events of purging the corrupted shadow from her. She looked so peaceful and perfectly human the odd black and purple strands had vanished to a soft crimson as the rest of Kalista's hair was colored.

Someone was working yawning having messages in a few boxes for people details on file numbers for new orders, or sub contracts and missions with the look up entry. As Phone messages was in a box on the shelf. A young man stretched yawning sipping a cola. Wearing head phones as he was listening to music a little loud not loud enough to damage his hearing just to try helping waking up unaware of Kino being there. The music could be heard fairly easy to signal he would not hear someone talk likely. There was a recent phone report message with from Ryo on it a few minutes ago was the time on it. It just read. 'Holding up in a safe place in hiding bike needs fixed and Sil is sleeping will return in the morning' was all that it read for the summery part then a file number #C34R-3 under lookup code part of the call ticket. It wasn't signed and the young man looked to have just started shift. "Ugh I hate late shifts." He muttered sipping more of his cold Cola.

The phone light light up on the console but the ringer was low. Muting the music pulling the ear phone out he yawned answering at third ring. "Hello and thank you for calling shadow deeds how may I direct your call?" He said popping a list of the work schedule up on screen. "Oh I am sorry he won't be back till tomorrow can I take a message for Omasa to call you back?" He said waiting writing a bit of info on another ticket. "Okay ma'am and what is the regards of the call? So he know how to prepare for the call back?" He asked a bit and then wrote more. "Okay just to confirm that it's Case number 45MJ-6? M as in Monkey, and J as in Jump?" He asked and then waited nodding. "Okay I will leave it in his box and I placed it as high priority so you should be the first call back. Thank you for Usin..." He frowns looking to the phone as it was a dial tone. "Well fine hang up before I can say the closing line." He says hanging it up turning to put the ticket in Omasa's box jumping seeing Kino. "Oh Jeeze you scared me there Sir." He said putting the ticket in Omasa's box. Turning he asked. "Anything I can help you with Kino Sir?"

Sodain moved seeming to try to wake up forcefully but then slumped onto the floor again fast asleep snoring a little. Which this movement made Ryo jump and he seemed to avoid getting too near the dragon edging sideways along the wall s he headed to a room with a bed. "Nice dragon.... I'm not tasty so try to ignore me..." Ryo said nervous voiced then in the dorm archway took off running ducking into am empty room closing the door fast.

Asuru came over raising a brow. "Hmm? when was this..." Just as Kalia and Kala finished there was a click and a grinding sound then a draft from around the root as it slid back revealing a spiral staircase leading up to open sky. "...Well I feel like a mules back side not knowing of this. It was well hidden though. How did you find it?" He asked seeming to have never seen it before.

The young man shrugged "Omasa made us start recording most calls in specially if it was a clansmen reporting in by call. The number must be the call record number. C45R is for "Call report" Ryo's number is 45 and the number after it usually is the number in the list for his calls. But I wasn't the one that took that call Sir. Jala was on shift before I was if you call in to report is would be C04R-1 So far you never called in a status report yet. Though if you looked the call up by the number on the console behind the desk counter tou can listen to it.

I am not quite sure what case that number is used for, As its not listed. But it was what the person referred to when I asked what the call was in regards to Sir. Usually people say, private, personal, or business when asked that rather then spouting off a case number." He said shrugging a bit. "Jala also probably didn't sign it not waning to get his a** handed to him for what Ryo reported. Though last time I got a call where Ryo ran into a delay he returned just before sunrise. So with that ticket saying in the morning it will be before 12pm likely any time from 12am to before 12pm is morning technically." He said then Omasa is still in the medics place her and the others when Sil was returned from her walk early didn't respond so a search team was sent out finding them all in a pile out cold. Looking like they been hit by electricity from what I heard. Hina will be releasing them all in the morning as well. Had to tie Omasa down from what I heard others say." He said then went back to manning the phones.

Asuru followed Kala and Kalia to the end of the stairs and blinked. "Odd this is outside the barrier." He said flickering a bit finding it hard to keep manifested. "Come on lets go back inside." He said stepping onto the first step watching her. "At least we know how someone might get out if they knew of this passage." He said waiting.

Sodain groaned waking up a few hours later looking to having trouble staying awake but able to fight it. Looking at Corin he glared a bit taking human form again as clothing appeared on him sweat drenching him as he spoke. "Corin you ever give me that much or do that again and I will set your butt on fire. There is a reason I don't sleep much." His eyes looking a bit bloodshot, looking around Seeing Ryo's bike still there Sodain went off grabbing tools and walked out carrying them as he started to work on the bike. Taking the burned out energy output converter holding it in his hands the char and damaged parts glowed softly and seemed to repair themselves as it seemed fire wrapped the part. Sodain then tinkered with it adding some extra components to it and hooked it up to a tester and nodded smiling and was putting it back in as Ryo walked out having used his cell radio as an alarm at least that part worked well.

"Hey what you doing I set an alarm to wake up early to work on it. You don't know how I customized the parts in that and might use the wrong parts." Ryo said seeming upset as Sodain looked to him raising a brow. "Oh no? I don't know what I am doing? How would you know? All I did was regenerate the part you had in it that was 60% fried black. Then added an additional component to handle and convert the negative pulse that disabled and fried the Parathion power charger core unit with the litrion overdrive power converter and the 3 Tri-opran transformer bridges. Next time you get that kind of energy rifle blast it will absorb the shock and convert it to extra power." Sodain said and Ryo blinked his jaw drooping open in shock that Sodain knew exactly what part combinations he custom used to make the power core. "How did you... Why did... Wha?"

Ryo stammered finding it hard to make a full sentence and looked the parts over finding it odd and blinked looking to them scratching his head shocked. "Wow I never thought to add the Dralion phantom shield either. Let alone I could never get one due to it's price." Ryo said confused and Sodain smirked walking to a bathroom. "Yeah your welcome Ryo." Sodain said as he went to clean up. Ryo started it up and seen the programming alter and update to accommodate and add the new things with options pressing a button on the display an energy field wrapped around him and the bike making him invisible even the slight sounds went silent completely until he deactivated it and turned it off. Ryo wasn't sure how Sodain had gotten those parts.

Sodain came out of the bathroom cleaned up and went to make food. The smell of fresh pancakes and savory bacon filled every room with the smell. Which might wake anyone else that was sleeping up.

Ryo nodded hearing Corin's words to him. "I would die before letting her come to harm if I can help it." He said to Corin "And this will help keep her safe." He added. But then started to drool a bit at smelling the smells of divine cooking of breakfast.

Asuru shook his head. "If it is he reviving how ever it happened is odd and he regressed in age by about 40 years." He said softly heading back out the door to the main building the secret door closing as they reentered the tombs. Opening the door the smell of freshly cooked pancakes and bacon filled the air.

Sodain after several minutes in the kitchen carried a few trays a large mountain of pancakes and a mountain of bacon sat on the trays. "Morning Sil." Sodain said seeing Sil. Sodain motioned to the food he just made as he had a stack of plates and a few fresh syrups different flavors to choose from. Sodain made him a plate to eat.

The bounty hunter leader looked to Kino. "Our men just happened to spot one of your clan members and remembered the contract out on you guys, though you avoiding us for so long the contract expired. The reason it seemed we was laying low and the employer that started the contract had not renewed it so I punished the men that acted upon an expired contract. Business is business if we have a contract we follow it until completion or expire with the client not renewing it we abandon the chase. Those who don't get punished severely." He said looking to Kino watching him and apologized for the misunderstanding without coming out and saying it.
----------
Kalista would wake up and get around doing things and then sighed looking to the clock and got to working on breakfast She made enough for herself and Kino hoping he came home by the time it was done or still warm at least wondering why she could not remember the past few days of events which she felt was odd.

Kalista smiled softly getting a plate of alot of food to take from for building a plate, there was fried eggs as well as toast and fruit halves as well as juice and milk on the table. "I feel fine dear. Though was I out for a few days? Because I have a blank of memory I remember what I sis friday, but this is tuesday yet I don't recall anything I did between friday and today." She pouted which was not a common thing. She said moving up kissing Kino putting her arms around him happy to be with him.
------
Asuru nodded to Kala and Kalia about it no sense in spooking the rest over such little information. Asuru went to the kitchen getting breakfast where there was spirit food for them to eat.

Sodain stretched a bit as he finished his first plate getting seconds and sat to eat it. Putting his dishes in the kitchen to wash up later he took off to a room with the stuff he bought a to work on repairing the more dilapidated furniture. And a few new outfits.

After breakfast Ryo said to Sil "We should get back to the mansion before people worry too much about us Sil. Sodain had given Sil his number for his sat phone before they took off. "Here so if you need me to badger sense into your father if he is too strict about you coming here to practice to get control of your gifts call me and I will..." He paused thinking and smirked. "...Show him a few reasons to why it is best not to prevent you. Also here is a few training tips that could be helpful. You if needed are welcome to move in here and make this your new long term home Sil that is if you need. Also I will have something for you the next time you come here Sil. Same for Ryo as well." He said softly then went back into the place he was working a moment ago. Taking an empty bench that needed repair. Soon the sound of a power saw and some hammering was heard coming from the room. A few minutes after it was quite Sodain brought a brand new more sturdy looking short bench out placing it back where he got it from.
