Welcome to Gaia! ::

His eyes closed, hearing finally what he'd known for so long. There was something he needed to tell her, but he wasn't sure how to put it. How do you tell someone that only the previous day you were head over heels for that that was only an act put on by Nikolaus to have himself released? Sure, he did care for her that he didn't want her hurt, but deep down he couldn't bring himself to say or even think the words love. He didn't love her, nor did he even like her as much as she did. She was just too damn young and happy, and clashed too much with his own personality. "They are aren't they? I just wish they knew how much I loved them, but instead they hate me. Well at least Ty does, I think Sammy can see where I'm coming from. I may have not been the best dad to them, but I provided for them and made sure they had what they needed to survive. It's all I could do and not destroy their chances at a normal life. Alas, they have powers like mine and need me in their life." Then he smiled as a thought struck in his head. "It's funny how you call them kids, yet I know Tyler's older than you and Sammy's only a year younger." He knew this bothered Ari a lot, but he was only being honest. Musica was always honest, why should he hide who he is?
EDIT: He looked at the flash of light and his stomach retched, just like anytime he felt the presence of his yang. He let on nothing. "Must be a storm brewing, looked like lightening to me."

{{I'll catch up after I post. lol. But I think Tyler and Akira would be cuter together. That is, after awhile! I'm hoping to start focusing on things other than romance in the RP. lol. Romance is cool, but we need other stuff, too. But yeah, my vote is for Tyler and Akira. smile }}

Ever had tried to sleep. She had dozed for a couple hours, but then she started having a bad dream and she jerked awake, sitting up suddenly in bed. She didn't remember what all her dream had been about, but she remembered one big part of it. Ares was telling her, like he had earlier that evening, that he didn't believe that she still cared for him and that she hadn't shown to him that she wanted to be with him. For some reason, the true meaning and gravity of what he said just now sunk into her. Maybe since they had been fighting, she hadn't really absorbed what he had to say. She REALLY needed to work on that!

But right now, she knew that she needed to correct what she had done, how Ares thought Ever felt. He was wrong. She did still want to be with him, very much. She had simply said that they might need a break because she thought that they both needed to mature and communicate better. But now that she thought about it, why couldn't they do that together? Why couldn't they remain together while they worked on growing and making themselves better?

Well, whatever would happen, she still needed to clear up any misunderstandings with Ares.

She had never teleported anywhere before, but she remembered that Ares said she simply had to focus on the person she wanted to find, and she could teleport to where they were.

So, she did just that. She closed her eyes and focused on Ares. She pictured him, imagined his masculine scent, and even imagined the energy that she always felt coming off of him in waves.

Suddenly, she felt all the weight in her body leave her. She felt as if she were floating. A few short moments later, her feet were placed on the ground again. She finally, slowly, opened her eyes. She gasped when she saw that she was indeed in Ares' room now on Mt. Olympus. A small smile appeared on her face. She had done it! She had teleported.

When she looked around the room, her eyes fell on Ares, who was lying on the bed. Her smile quickly disappeared and she grew nervous. However, she wouldn't be deterred. She would ignore her nerves and tell Ares what she had come here to tell him.

"Ares?"

Ari nodded. It wasn't a storm. "He'll come around... just keep trying. Sam'll do her best, I'm sure!" she sighed. It didn't escape her notice that he had sidestepped her statement. She pulled away, more concerned about the lightning... and it's cause. "Look, I'm tired. I'll catch you later, kay? Don't stress about your kids, you'll get an ulsor!" she then left him in the darkness. Once she was around the corner of the building, she ran full tilt for the lake. She knew she shouldn't go, she knew she ought to turn around and run back to Musica and drag him away. But she didn't. Something more was compelling her to go. She pushed through the trees, and emerged by the lake shore. Tyler was there, but something was wrong.

Ari realized her mistake. "Oh Gods..." she said.

Arielle had been holed up so long and so thoroughly in her office that she did not even remember when she'd started this. All she knew was that whatever defenses her school currently had... they weren't enough. This war was going to be devastating, she knew it.

She also knew, suddenly, that she was depending very heavily upon Evermore and Akira. This was never what she had planned--she didn't expect Setsuka to return. She needed to get those girls out of harm's way--and if they refused... If they refused, she would have to make a temporary Council of sorts within her school. Only select people, preferably ones already involved so that more would not be at stake.

She didn't like this.

(( 3nodding ))

Kilala had left once Evermore had been asleep, a troubled sleep, but still in dream land all the less. It was Raven's job as a familiar to take over now. Granted, the little light fairy was still new at this, but she'd get the hang of it sooner or later!

The Demonic feline took her time walking back to Akira's room- her room too now- and looked out the windows of the hallway.

Something just didn't feel right...It was as if whatever ghostly dark presence that had been around earlier just disappeared, yet wasn't completely gone but now more solid and focused in one particular spot...It was disturbing, really.

((You ain't gonna let that go are you? Ari's an ignorant female, why is more explanation needed?))

(Agreed. It won't matter in a few posts anyway ;])
