Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Queen of Synda looked to her and smiled. "Oh you.... um..... I got this letter from the queen offering to meet the two daughters of my son. One Lyra and Hitana. Though you look like Hitana I am not sure if you really are.

Because of what happened last time which I am very sorry if your that young girl who was hurt by the late king. Finding a huge empty void where his kingdom once stood as if strong magic just carved it out and lifted it into the air beyond our sight gave him a heart attack. He died on the spot and I was laughing and crying at the same time most everyone thought I was on the brink of going insane.

Until I screamed "Free.... I'm free of him finally! No more being his little trinket of power!" then I well.. I threw his corps into the void and went off to build next to it a dwelling place. Its more like a small fort than a castle. But oh I was promised I could meet my son's children and offer them gifts and a home." She said softly seeming quite up lifted in spirits instead of gloomy and sad.

Sinestra looked to the doors opening as her daughter walked out with both Lyra and Hitana. "Ah welcome and congratulations. on finishing all your training Lyra" Sinestra said as everyone cheered and music started playing as she watched. "This is your well think of it as your graduation party." Sinestra said softly.

Sinestra smiled and nodded. "Well I celebrate everyone's successful training. Now then feel free to find someone to dance with or enjoy the buffet, Once your done I have someone for you and your sister to meet. then after that decide where you want to go from there." She said as a young man in a similar fire like outfit though had a few blue tints to his fire colored outfit approached Hitana

Looking like an elegant prince approached Hitana taking her hand kissing it gently. "Would you like to dance mi'lady?" He said in a well mannered voice a twinkle in his eye as he winked to Hitana trying to romance her it seemed.

Sardin the dragon walked up to Lyra holding his hand out offering her to dance with him. His outfit looked regal and like a mix of water droplets and lightning patterns upon a scale like pattern.

The queen sitting outside waiting started to fan herself from the sun being nice and warm as a young male servant walked over placing an umbrella for shade over the queen. "Ah thank you kindly Alrin. Oh yes it was most lovely a trip here, I so adore the sun light. Even though it's not too kind in adoration to me." A servant girl brought a chilled glass to the queen and placed it before her. It looked and smelled strongly of blood as the queen sipped at it slowly. "Oh my I seemed to have forgotten my manners would you like something to drink while I wait?" She asked blushing or could it been from the heat of the sun turning her cheeks reddish.

The queen smiled softly. "Oh I won't turn to ash dear. I am not weak to the sun like that. You see my friends the phoenix's protect all under my rule from such fates. I just overheat easily if in the sun too long." she said as the frost on her glass of blood had melted away as it sat on the table, but when the queen took hold of it the glass frosted up and the blood chilled again. "I made a treaty that said I would wait in the open for the meeting time at sunset which is just a few hours away. To see my lovely granddaughters in person I will wait here as long as I need."

Tsuki's father walks up placing a hand on his daughters shoulder. "Well I hope you don't wait too long. Nor get disappointed if they choose not to stay with you Alissia. They are quite free spirited young lady's." He said as if he knew this queen well.

Alissia queen of Synda smiled. "Ah I see so it was your doing that made my unfortunate choice of a husband keel over from shock of seeing his kingdom gone as if cut out of the ground. Even though it was never his to begin with." She giggled a bit. "You are sneaky like that little brother." She said watching Tsuki's father.

Sardin shrugs a bit. "Not sure she doesn't tell me anything unless it requires my knowing to deal with a problem." He said dancing with Lyra until he heard her tummy complain. "Shall we partake some of the fine foods so you can please your stomach?" Sardin said smiling leading her towards the buffet table.

Sinestra smiled watching Lyra and Hitana dancing having fun. But once the sun began to set she knew the party was just about over. She got up and excused herself. "Lyra, Hitana once you're done eating would you two join me outside for a nice sunset walk?" She said walking outside and watched the sun start to set as she waited.

Sardin went with Hitana and Lyra to be as a guard. When they arrived outside Sinestra smiled and walked slowly. "You two have someone who admires you both. They... Well she the left ruling royal of the house your biological father is from.

Basically your grandmother on your fathers side, Who was a prince of an amazing kingdom wishes to offer you something and just meet you two. The choice is yours to accept her offer or to refuse it.

Unlike your step grand father who would want to take you by force who at seeing his kingdom he praised most highly well he was not truly immortal, long lived with a weakened heart yes, immortal no, So upon seeing his prized kingdom gone from it's location suffered catastrophic heart failure. You see though he was well one who held angelic wings and powers was no angel.

He was a evil vile hearted man who let his power go to his head. In fact he killed your biological grandfather and forced your grandmother Queen Alissia, Original ruler of the kingdom Synda, Other wise called the kingdom of heaven's gate. Which is the literal mortal language translation. She is like you and my Lyra.

She actually taught me there was another way to sustain myself on blood without killing anyone for it. And Alissia also was my teacher after I was turned. She is a very good hearted person infact it looks as if she has brought gifts for the both of you. Which if I know her well enough still they will be yours no matter your choice regarding her offer." Sinestra said walking towards the wagons and the two large piles of gifts and two special young pony like horses. the piles of gifts stood taller then the regal looking carriage and was easy to make out far before the woman sitting at the table.

Tsuki's father laughed a bit. "Oh did I forget to mention your aunt Alissia before now dear? Hmm I wonder why that might had been forgotten." He smirked playfully.

Alissia sighed. "You know why, my forced second husband who thankfully is now my late second husband whom I was forced to marry if I wished to continue living. He seen any relatives as a threat to his reign. Killing my first husband and forcing me to choose a slow painful death or to accept his offer as him becoming head ruler and king to my kingdom.

Just because he had angelic power he seen my kingdom which means the city of heaven's gate. He seen it as destiny to be the king of it and would have killed even me through torture to get the rule of my kingdom. But my name means 'Angel of heaven' as well so seen it also his destiny to have me as his queen. I plotted secretly to end his life but every try he looked angered at me then made the servant who I instructed to serve the poisoned food or wine to him they, the many servants I cherished did not know I had poisoned it.

But it was like he knew as if he seen it or smelled it though it was invisible to any eye or nose. He got up if it was food grabbing the servant forcing them to eat or drink it or die where they stood. I begged him not to make them do it but he yelled in his angelic voice, which was like the worst sound to me it literally paralyzed my speech and weakened me with just one word to silence me.

I was rendered helpless to watch as my loyal servant cried realizing what I had done and obeyed one started having spasms the second one nothing happened because I gave him the antidote and he lopped his head off glaring at me. He ordered fresh dishes that hold no poison and they the corpse in the middle of the table. "Sorry but it is my destiny to be here I am an angel of the heavens placed here to deliver the innocent from the likes of such evil. I am not leaving anytime soon." The pompous a** he was." Queen Alissia said her eyes turning like blood red flames as her hair shifted to living flames before a phoenix cried out the arrival of Sinestra and the others as she breathed her hair turning back to hair instead of fire.

Sinestra sighed. "Reliving the horrors of your british conqueror false angel enslaver Alissia dear?" She asked as a few extra seats was placed by attendants. Sinestra sat gracefully "Might I introduce Lady Lyra, And Lady Hitana for your meeting pleasure."

Alissia smiled softly looking them over then glancing where their eyes kept possibly wondering off to. "The blue packages are for Lyra of he water the reddish orange for Hitana of the flame. One gift per year I wasn't able to see you in life. Gifts for you to keep to apologize for your life of being alone. Feel free to look them over. But I do still wish to speak to both of you." She said giving them permission to look at the gifts first if they wished.

Alissia snickered. "Well to tell the truth, He wasn't aware of anything that happened while he was under the enchantress's spell. He probably thought you two was well other enchantress's to help her place him under the spell unaware that you was actually his children when the spell finally broke.

He probably thought he was trying to be kept to overthrow me by ransoming him like as if the head enchantress was going like "Give up your throne or we will do unspeakable horrors to your son" type thing. But instead she fell in love with him and he had nothing to do with her so instead of being heart broken put him under a strong love spell. not aware he was slowly growing immune to the spell over time." She said sighing.

"My son refused to join me and his father in the immortal blood. He grew ill after spending 20 years trying to find the place he well attacked and dove out of the cave from as he thought at first "the other two enchantress's" but after a few years the reality of facts hit and dawned on him as he was diagnose with a limited life time left in this world.

He just thought and reflected on how he had no heirs then when he thought about it he had a terrible headache swore his head was being squeezed. From the immense pain, But then it went away and he broke down in utter heartbreak.

Calling himself a fool that reacted out of a quick temper. We questioned him after he calmed down and he said he just realized the truth, the other two females where not other enchantress's to help the other put him under a spell, they was his daughters.

When we asked him about it he spoke of the names Lyra and Hitana names he had picked as a young boy if he had two beautiful precious princesses of his own he would name them that. And said that was the names of the other two females. That the fog of what he thought he knew was a masking spell the pain was where it broke and the real truth was clear to him. He spoke of how they looked to an artist and the artist drew these." she pulled out sketches from a pile of posters the posters was where it showed the sketch copies and asking if anyone had information on the people in the sketches to contact the royal house of Synda or a member of the royal guard of Synda.

The sketches looked exactly like Lyra and Hitana. as she placed them for them to see them. And Alissia wiped tears from her eyes calming her breathing. "He spent most of his limited life time trying to find you. To apologize for attacking you both out of panic and anger. To explain he was not of his full mind after the spell broke and he killed your mother. To try to make amends for it and offer you a home in Synda. But he couldn't find it no matter what he did and gave up in utter despair returning home and lived the last few weeks he had until he passed on from his illness." She said looking down.

"A month after that this man who had powers similar to an angel walked in and in one move paralyzed me, our royal guards and my husband and killed my husband. He then said "you can either accept me and my destiny as the warrior of heaven, to be my angelic queen. Or to join your husband in the eternal darkness where things like you belong.

it is my destiny to bring heaven to this world and your name is in line with my destiny as is the name of this kingdom so it is my birthright as the angel born to guide this world out of darkness into the glory of heaven." He forced me to be his queen, every time my soldiers tried he just paralyzed them again as well as me even when I tried to end him. He somehow new of the attempts and killed one of my loyal subjects to hurt me. He did not dare kill me. I was powerless against him. But he seen the posters and thought the names Lyra and Hitana was names related to heaven.

He was a power mad monster who had delusions that no matter what he did he was doing heaven's bidding. He obsessed at finding you two even went as far as to question people at the immortal council they wouldn't do anything but the head of the council said only "What ye seek list above Avalonia with the blood immortals." Then he waved his hand and we was outside. So he marched here to demand them and I cried pleading for help from Sinestra but she just looked taking the note and the posters he made me hand her. Saying he knows you was here from his sources. He held me on a tight leash so I hid the note between the posters,

The note I had it written in a clear blood ink. That only was visible to the vampiric blood lines. The code I taught Sinestra held the message "Please help me, He killed my husband and many innocents in his insanity. Please I will do anything just help me be rid of him." Alissia sobbed a bit.

Sinestra sighed "I nodded to you Alissia though timed it as if nodding to him. I passed it to Alterik's messenger and simply said ""I will see if I can find them if not they may have already left. As many come to seek to join my line of immortals but many come yet only few stay, fewer even still join us. My type of immortal gift is not for everyone. So I turn most away after testing them and most fail. Yet I do not recall meeting these two you seek, But perhaps I had not seen them is all. I tend to stay here in one section of my castle. You are welcome to wait to see if they are found. Or return to your kingdom and await word of finding them and if they are still here."

Sinestra said having placed the note that had red scribbles in code where she wrote in blood or red ink. "I wrote swiftly upon the not to your brother that code telling him to seek the call of the blood. Since he is a blood deviner he listened to it getting the whole story and he seen this fraud king seen how he treated you and took upon himself to deal with it. From the later letter as Lyra had been gaining headway in her training it made me smile. Though it has me interested, What did he do with Synda castle town." Sinestra said raising a brow.

The male guard smirked. "Oh its right where its always been just well..... Heaven's gate, oh pardon me Synda is still in the same location just a lot higher then it used to be." He said in riddle and Alissia frowned at this.

Sardin smirks getting the hint. "Oh naw I told ya both anytime you want to as I am your guard and escort while your well finding your way. All ya need to do is ask and besides I haven't stretched my wings or magic in so long they ache a little needing a good flight. Perhaps we will make a fly by to see what Synda looks like. Since its well in the air and all now." Sardin says and walks off a little then stops looking back.

"If The queen doesn't mind that is. Perhaps put in a magical transit system too to go from the ground up to Synda I am sure she misses her throne and all her subjects seeing as she can't fly her self ya know. At least not till she regains her magic wings." He added glancing at the man who sent it into the air with help of other magical users sternly.

Queen Alissia smiles "Oh yes that would be lovely, and allow my subjects to come down when they like. Or bring Synda down again might even be better." She said raising a brow as she looked to her brother.

Alterik looks down and sighs. "It can't not for a while atleast I forgot you gave up using yer wings sis. Sorry I should have thought of that its stuck up there for a good while. Might slowly lose height in maybe 2,000 years or so I suppose Or I hope it is a soft landing I just kinda poofed it up there with a massive joined teleport magic 3 each of grand phoenix's and elder dragons teleported it up above the cloud line.

I don't know how long that will last or if it will land slowly over time rather then just drop like a huge rock. I wanted to protect you and your people from that man knowing how weak his heart was it would have well solved your problems if it vanished." He said sighing feeling bad now.

Alissia smiles softly. "Oh it did put an end to his madness for sure freeing me from his evilness. But well you could came by later after I sent word to Sinestra of being free from him and put a well portal at least to and from the gate. Though I know your bad with portals but surely you could have had someone you knew put one in." She said calmly and plainly then looking annoyed but broke it and giggled.

Queen Alissia smirked watching Lyra and Sardin take off to fly around a bit. Then listening to Hitana nodded. "Oh I figured that might be a probability of things happening. it was well a possible occurrence. You see everyone in my family can do that. my sisters, mother, and even my children could so I know it was kind of like a test to see if there was the slightest change to any elements depending on your mood or Lyra's.

I wasn't going to let it get out of hand Hitana dear. Some people think its because my side is well part phoenix I guess. Well as you see the birds looking like they should be on fire well, yeah these birds like the one perched near me is a phoenix. A rather small looking bird. But when they choose a person to bond with they well..." Alissia said softly petting gently the bird and holding a hand full of seed like nuts out in her hand and the bird eats them from Alissia's hand.

"Well once a phoenix bonds to a person the phoenix can guard against it dark emotions from making a person's power just go out of control like that. I can control well frost powers like you can do fire, and Lyra water. Before I had bonded with Sira here any and all water even the water inside living things froze solid,

Once I cooled my emotions how ever and the person or animal well thawed out they was actually fine. now instead of that happening well I just burst into flames surrounding me like my hair turns to fire and everything. it is like a counter effect of the exploding, or boiling out of control powers." Alissia said softly tending her phoenix gently.

"however some do extra bonding in my family with a phoenix and well get other powers and and well take on aspects more like a phoenix my brother here can form wings out his back more than anyone in my whole family. Which is well my family had been called the humanoid phoenix for a very long time because of it.

There are people like us that bond with other animals with magic powers. Like dragons for instance how they can take on human forms. Well people like those in my family who bond to phoenix's and share the mystical birds powers. Are referred to as the phoenix knights, Then there are the wolf knights which people are well basically werewolves. Humans able to take on aspects of a wolf while still walking like humans looks more beast like. Particular if they get really upset." Alissia explained her brother just sided.

Alterik sighed softly. "Yeah well this is true but it was well a dragon who cast a spell on those who closely resonate with the well harmony of an animals soul in a way. it is the best way to associate it."
