Welcome to Gaia! ::

Daruga smiled to Silvia listening and raised a brow. "Hmm so a mage that passed long ago into shadow must have helped you do that. I don't remember reading mage runes was touched on in your studies yet though. Or you learned yourself. But as long as you could help with those things that is splendid. You indeed have grown stronger I can see it in your eyes les fear and more strength. You no longer fear your own powers. You are almost ready to take up your post with the Syna royals." Daruga said and smiled sitting down and still towering them both.

The dragon mage came over and spoke. "It is true as for getting the barrier up and running that could have happened the moment it went down but the moment Sodain would had done the same thing in it it would have broke again. But he used a shadow lance of immense power stronger than yours even Daruga. And we stabilized it with Silvia's help. She is very amazing in her skills." Sodain smirked to Silvia at he praise she was getting.

Daruga looked around and raised an eye brow. "So where is this Sodain he isn't still training I hope?" He said curious to see the boy that saved his life. Sodain blinked and spoke. "Um surely you jest good lord Daruga. I am right I am Sodain." He said confused and Daruga fell over in shock.

"Your kidding I didn't even recognize you my that must had been some training then it made you look older, wiser and tougher as well as a little different." He said and Sodain looked down blinking in thought. "Maybe I haven't seen myself in the mirror but perhaps since when Sodina my other self wakes up and I turn female my bone structure is different than when I just change genders, So speaking of that when I with Silvia's help with the purple shadow sword and the triple shadow binding spell to help me fuse with her it caused to balance my looks between her and myself. Other than that and being behind a timelapse training barrier where it turned an hour into several thousand years for me. When only an hour passed outside the barrier. may had altered my body's appearance as well. Other than that I am not sure why it is." Sodain said thinking.

Sodain took notice to a change when the faint shadow faded. His gaze hardened as he sighed getting up he passed his food plates he didn't touch much of to Daruga. Daruga blinked taking them never one to pass up food "Of course I am proud of my first two girls just as much as I am for Silvia and her brother and sister. But the slower rate Silvia developed I was worried about her but now I know I shouldn't have been. Silvia just needed the right push." Daruga said smiling ruffling Silvia's hair.

Sodain walked off a ways and sighed looking to the sky. "So it has begun has it Kalia." Sodain whispered softly closing his eyes and vanished into thin air appearing inside the training area behind Kalia placing his hand on her shoulder. "Kalia you need to let it go, think of it this way Silvia is the baby of all of you and had a slow start. Your father was praising her to give her motivation to keep growing. He was just as proud of you and Kala when you got control of your potential powers as well. It is just time for Silvia to receive the same treatment for gaining control of hers. It is not your fault or Kala's fault he is praising her now, Its just her turn for the same praise you got at 5 years old." Sodain said trying to keep her level headed.

Daruga sighed. "I only praise those that earn it Silvia and you have. I praised all of my kids for gaining control. Though some might see favoritism if they forget the amount of praise I gave them and see the praise I give you which was the same when my other children did the same. So just be careful Silvia." He said softly.

Sodain sighed. "Perhaps it is the mirror curse that was placed on you that makes you see praise to another as more to them when it is actually the same. And see it as less praise when you are the one receiving praise." He said watching Kalia trying to get through to her with sense and reason.

Daruga sighed. "Well doing what is right is worth praise my dear. Doing wrong earns scolding, and not doing anything gets nothing." Daruga said making a point.

Sodain sighed "Okay fine lets see proof." Sodain said holding Kalia's shoulder placing two fingers on his forehead and warped out with Kalia generating a field around them and it showed them her memories. Going back to when she first walked at age two. How happy her father was praising her. "Here we have the first time you was praised by your father for only being two and mastering to walk." once that was seen the scenes blurred to the next and next. after the 9,989th time of her memory showing it.

"And here he praised you today for doing good against him before he set out to find Silvia he praised you and said he would be honored to pass leadership to you of the clan before he would die. As I see it that is even higher praise than he gave Silvia today." Sodain said warping back into the training hall with her. Looking at Kalia Sodain added "That is just 11 praises less then 10,000. Silvia has only been praised 600 times by Daruga. You have been praised more than even Kala. But you refuse to see your father is so proud of you he has chosen you to lead the clan after him which is a much higher praise then anything." Sodain said watching Kalia more removing his hand from her shoulder.

Sodain smiled a little. "It's the mirror curse. It reflects into your mind messes with your perception of things you see and hear. The only way to see and hear the truth is to do the reflection of truth upon your memories. Which is what I had done for you. But if you would like I can help study this mirror curse that effects you and will later effect your twin and try to find a way to break it, That way you don't need the reflection of truth method to perceive the truth.

From what I had observed it feeds on your pride growing stronger, but acts as if it is a life form of it's own and it learns what makes you feel honored and what swells your pride. Which feeds it more and in doing so it alters how you see and hear things. Which can make you see the exact opposite of what it going on and not realize some things that are offered and said." Sodain said watching Kalia

The dragon mage sighed walking in hearing this. "I see, So that is what is going on. Yes before your father seen and went to visit with Silvia he asked me to come look at you and Kala. He said you reacted as if you never heard his words about you leading the clan once he passes on Kalia. He said when he praised you and said he had chosen you to take over the clan should he fall. You huffed and walked off and he was concerned about you." Agais said walking up looking Kalia in the eye putting a single finger on her forehead and his eyes glowed and grimaced.

"I see it was placed on you by the red tide queen, your fathers second wife and the mother of Mina. That was not a healing technique she used on you and Kala when you two got sick. It was her placing a curse upon you both. A curse that if activated could turn you into her mindless weapons against your father. She did this in case Daruga realized she was out to steal your clans secrets that was the only reason she married him and played like she loved him and you two. And figured if she had one child that would learn the secrets of your clan.

She would have successfully stolen your clans secrets. Daruga is highly suspect of many. It took him until Silvia was born to trust his third wife was not out to use and betray his trust. I actually know the counter to this, The common name of this curse is called the mirror curse, But this is altered from the basic version. But I had to deal with this once before and broke it before. But first to be sure." He said muttering and chanting as he placed a seal on that curse to block it. And to diagnose it to see if it was altered even more then he dealt with smirking and shattered the curse a sliver of a black gem being painlessly pulled out of her.

"Ah there yes the root of the curse." He said inside the crystal looked to be some kind of shadow snake writing around and he crushed vaporizing it with a spell. "In a few days your mind will balance itself out and you will see things as they truly are now child." He said so Kalia and zipped off to Kala doing the same thing removing a smaller snake like thing from her the same way and destroying it but once he would Kala's shadow powers started to swell up inside her and he did a power venting spell on her bt the force of it threw him back into the wall hard.

"Hmm it seemed the root of the curse placed on her also restricted Kala's powers. Once removed that build up inside her was bubbling up out of control so I did a power venting and the venting of the blocked powers just by the sheer force of them venting threw me." He said getting up dusting himself off.

Sodain nodded watching as the control crystals sucked in that power from the venting and then slowly returned it to Kala all cleaned and calm. "Well now you know the truth behind how your father would like you to lead the clan once he steps down or falls from life for any reason. And with Agais here removing the curse from you and your twin sister also freeing Kala's power control you should likely rest for a day or two and both reflect on your memories to see the truth that was hidden from both of you." Sodain advised before adding.

"Of course this is just me advising you. What you do is up to you to choose. But I will keep watch upon both of you. Incase there was a secondary curse placed as a backup should this one be removed." Sodain said and the mage nodded snapping his fingers and vanishing yet in his time there Kala and Mina seemed frozen in time. Likely to keep them from hearing this conversation.

Sodain sighed a bit going over to Mina. "Soon I will be heading out to solve a mystery. Something doesn't seem right like someone just walking through time itself messing with the flow of time in periodic spots of history. I plan to put a stop to it because the changes if not checked will have the world enslaved or wiped of all life if this person has their way. I plan to stop them how ever I have to. And I must do this alone so I need you to watch out for Silvia. Who is with your father right now as well as Khan.

She was taking special meditation lessons from Khan as I took a special time lapse training because of this foul hand altering events like breaking the seals of the three chaos seals The three great evils that was sealed because the right conditions had not been met to finish them off. And this person that just walks through time like you walk from one room to another was one of the great chaos's sealed behind a chaos seal. Which was likely unsealed around the time from when I was returned here from.

So I am just out on patrol that is all you have to tell Silvia. Keep her from entering battle though she now has most her potential powers under her control right now. If something that triggers her to go out of control well.... we don't want that to happen lets just say that." Sodain said quietly to Mina to inform her of the game plan before he started out to wait at the next seal he foreseen being broken. Which was the seal Khan placed and Grim followed Sodain to the edge of Syna. Focusing his clothing changed to that of armor and he took off without deploying his wings yet he was still able to fly.

The mage wobbled out shaking his head from the impact in the wall but he eventually balances out. "Well she had been given a sight, when she went out of control and Sodain was able to calm her. She was so shamed and Sodain thought a few days or so meditating to gain control and being watched with a ring of light.

So if her powers manifested a shadow form trying to take control of Silvia from the outside the ring will blast it into submission as she got full control of that power. So without worry and with proper motivation to get control to the point she can keep herself from going wild like that. She is pouring every ounce of her herself in this form of training. To be able to master the power she possesses. And Khan is a excellent teacher." The mage said and smirked.

Sodain looked down and about the lands looking for this shadow person messing with time and not finding him or her depending on who it really was if not the one that was sealed away. He landed at the one seal stone standing like a statue posed holding Grim in his hands with Grim on the ground. Here he would wait for who ever it was messing with the events of time.
