Welcome to Gaia! ::

Evaline looked from Naraku to Lily. She sighed, "Well its nice to meet you. My name is Evaline. I am the second in command in this kingdom." She turned and walked back towards the book shelf. "I thank you for wanting to help." She paused, "But we barely know much ourselves." Evaline's ears perked up as she heard the sound of footsteps. 'More guest?' she thought to herself. She glanced to Lily, "Any other questions for him?"

"I thank you for your hospitality," he said to Damion. Strata followed the man down the halls to the library. As they made their way down the halls, Strata admired the ornate decorations and decor of the palace. "This seems to be an older Palace," he commented. "It seems to be well taken care of," he said still looking around.

Damion's ego grew and he smiled. "Thank you kindly sir. This palace can sometimes be a handful, but I try my best, but he decoration is not something that I can take credit for. The queen and princess either found all this stuff along their travels, or got some carpenter that was never known to make everything." At the ending of his boastful bragging they arrived at the open door of the library. Clearing his throat he grabbed everyone's attention. "I would like to present Sir Strata, another guest that was so generous to wait at the door." He said as he gave a pointed look at Naraku.

Dismissing Mikes outburst over tea that just had 3 cups of sugar in it, she turns towards the new comers with a shy smile. For a split second it turned into a frown when she noticed Evaline's strange behavior, but quickly caught herself. "Yes thank you Damion for bringing the guest here," She said tilting her head to the side as she takes in his appearance. "Welcome Strata, is it safe for me to guess that you are here about the same problem as our other new guest?" she asks him as her eyes look in Naraku's direction.

Naraku turned and looked at the new comer who had completely stolen his thunder, but that was only a minor set back. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Evaline's reaction to this man. She spoke of how she thought she knew him which made him huff. He then gave Strata a quick look up and down, taking in every detail. "So your name's Strata huh?" he gave a half smirk as a chuckle escaped him. "So... You hunt demons, eh?" He walked a bit towards him so that he was directly in between both Strata and Evaline, "I won't have to worry about you harmin' anyone in this room now will I?" He stared directly at him, Naraku's figure and stance solid and strong. His face solemn.

Evaline rolled her eyes and sighed. She walked over to the table where Mike was sitting. "As we are all well aware, it seems we are all here for the same reason." She held up a few of the letters asking for help, "We all wish to take down our enemy kingdom, once and for all. And to save this world from the wrath that they have spread throughout the land whilst we were under." She shook her head then looked to Mike, "Lily's assistant has been reading through. It seems as though the other kingdoms were not as strong as we." Shaking her head muttering to herself about what could they possibly do she looked down at the letter in her hand. It was sloppy, written by a child who had lost her parents to the fiends.

After some thought an idea came to her mind. "Would you excuse me..." She said to Mike as she snatched a handful of the letters up. "I know this might be asking a lot from you all..." She began to quickly move around the room. She approached Lily handing her a few letters to look at, "But if you wouldn't mind..." She then rushed over to Naraku quickly handing him a couple as well. "I have this...idea in mind." She turned, reaching out to Damion to give him a few. "It might be awfully stupid and awfully dangerous." She then approached Strata, handing him the one she had just read over. "But... I think if we were to work together, we just might make it work." She smiled softly then turned to face everyone.

She cleared her throat, "Everyone, what do you say we go on an unexpected journey to each kingdom and village... To each mountain and city. And take on the Diaño Espírito forces right on the battlefield." She looked around, "I will not force any of you to come; especially you, my queen." she bowed to Lily, "But we can not simply sit around and let them win."

"There is no need for the bravado," he raised his eyebrow at Naraku. "We are all here for the same purpose. There is no need to puff out your chest at me," he said. "Besides, if I wanted to harm anyone is here, I would have done so already with no warning or words," he added.

His attention then turned to Evaline who was telling them of the situation the Kingdom was in. He watched her as she scampered around the room collecting letters and handing them out to everyone. Intently, he listened to her plan to travel from town to town and help out each one. "I am more than willingly to help you on this quest," he said. "I have gone on a journey such as this before. It was many years ago with a Taranian, a Human Assassin, a Sorceress, and......," his memory became a bit hazy. "There was someone else in the company as well," he said. He shook off the feeling as not to distract from the matter at hand. "Anyway, I am willing to accompany you," he said with a slight bow of his head.
