[Hey guys^^ I'm back and I'll make a long post for everyone soon...]
Riken nearly yelled as he was grabbed from behind, but he was sure that his father was following so making a sound wasn't an option. He looked from the who held him back to the kind woman infront of him and let out a long held in breath of relief. They wouldn't let father get him...he was sure of it.
"T-they are coming after me..." he said as he suddenly clung to her, "They want me dead! Please save me, I didn't do anything to deserve this fate!" A bit overdramatic, but being a descendant of a certain fireuser excuses this somewhat.

Lina watch Remus move off with a sigh before a small message was heard within her mind. The meeting has started. You are late... She stiffened at the soft voice, knowing very well who it was from.
I had a small domestic problem. Forgive me, I am on my way...Lady Moneko. The voice faded away as Lina disappeared, leaving a small note near the front foor as she did so.
--
Only the usual insults we Leaders greet each other with. Nothing too important. Came the answer of the golden eyed child across from him. Ashra glanced Quinn's way and nodded slightly in greeting as Vincent began to speak.
"It has been fifty years since the rest of the Ten and myself have been were Awakened and since then we all know of the treachery certain people have committed in an effort to slow our stop our coming comepletely," Vincent said, glancing at Lina as she materialized near Moneko, her face emotionless at the vague mention of Salen and others before continuing, "It was then that we found out the condition of our bodies and how we were to regain out original strength. We should all thank Dorien, Ashra and Aurora for the news I am giving you today."
He took a deep breath, his eyes closing for a moment before saying, "The incarnations have been found and are mature enough to hold us as well as our power. The time to begin this process is now." he then sat down and waited silently for a response.

Mira gave Stefan a sidelong glance that expertly hid her doubt for the young child's words. Something was most certainly wrong, but he was being a bit too over the top about it all. Based on the return look that she received, Mira gathered that Stefan had come to the same conclusion.
Her gaze shifted back to Riken at that point, and she still pressed on. What was the boy's name? He hadn't answered her question.
"What's your name, little one?" Mira asked again, "And where do you live? Perhaps we could walk you home and protect you from whoever is trying to get you."
"Don't worry kid." Stefan sounded strong, "Nothing can get past us."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Will one of these meetings ever begin in a different manner? It was hard for Quinn to stall the amusement in his thought. The gatherings always seemed to begin the same way.
At the first spoken words, Quinn's instruments went to work. As the tools recorded what was said, Quinn carefully read over everything to make sure that it was in order. The words practically jumped off the page, the magic of the tools capturing the very emotion held within them. It made understanding the meeting much easier for those who failed to attend.
Quinn's eyes and ears perked up at the sound of Vincent's words, though. The bodies were ready? So soon? Interesting. He couldn't help but glance in Ashra's direction, wandering what his master was thinking. It was clearly written upon Quinn's face, although he knew better than to attempt pushing into Ashra's mind without invitation. And he figured that that would be rough territory for a while.

A loud bark came from above them and Remus landed a short ways from them, one gun drawn and aimed at Stephan, his sword pointed at Mira. He hadn't heard what had transpired and the sight of two strangers on the defensive with his son wasn't something he cared for. His hybrid eyes glared darkly at the two of them. "Unhand my son..."

Karrot and Torrent stopped smiling suddenly. Reacting quickly, Karrot made a snowboard shape out of sand and solidified it before jumping on. Torrent simply pulled some moisture in the air and formed it into rolling balls under his feet. In a matter of seconds they were speeding off. " Uh.... What just happened?" " They went to find out the problem." " What problem?" " So, you didn't hear a bark or the thud? Something is happening and they are trying to find out what. In fact, let's go brother, we need to make sure this lump gets to where we're going." Aron and Roma spun around, arms outstreched as a purple orb formed between them, they both jumped and double kicked it behind them, instead of going far, it instead blew open a black hole in mid air. The brothers ran up to Matrix and tossed him through, whereupon the hole closed. Then in a flash of blue and red, each of the brothers had a strange metal mechanism on their backs. " Glad we upgraded our transport. With a little gold out of our pockets and some basic skills in wind and fire, we now have a quick way to..." " Let's go."

Troden frowned slightly at the name, but only for a moment. Jennifer was only a small nuisance especially teamed up with certain family members, but nothing more, "I'll give Tien the news..." was all he said before the sound of footsteps caught his attention. He looked over to see two figures enter the room.
They stopped a few feet away and waited as Troden lightly held one of Isabelle's hands within his own, "What recent news have you collected for me?" he asked after a moment and glanced at the male and female glaring each other down. They were having another mini-battle over something childish as usual, "Arachneim! Mara!" they snapped to attention, "Now back to my question...what is the recent news?"
Arachneim stepped up and began to speak, his Rajen symbol glowing lightly upon his right shoulder until he spoke, "At this moment the Ten and their allies have gathered and are discussing the vessels rumored about throughout the realms. I have my eight-legged friends listening as we speak-"
"With all due respect Sir Troden," Mara said, cutting her fellow Rajen off, "I don't believe his friends will be much help. I myself have duplicates all around the city searching for these vessels. I should locate them soon-"
"Excuse her sir, but forgive her for her ignorance," Arachneim answered cooly, "How can you locate them when you don't know where they are or even what they look like? This question is not within her head at the moment."
"What are you implying?"
"What do you think I'm implying?"
The Rajen symbol glowed for a moment, showing its hiding place on her neck as Mara looked up at him, her eyes full of anger. She would have answered if it wasn't for the much too calm interruption from Troden, "You two are one my best eyes and ears within Signet and all you can do is bicker infront of me...perhaps I have made a grave mistake in entrusting you two with this task." the two paled at the sound of that, but Troden's voice stayed the same as he watched them, "Perhaps adding another member to your team will help this problem. I have sent a small request to the very leader who sent you to me help me end this foolishness. I dare say I am a much kinder being than the Lady of Lorindel for her resolution to the would surely be much worse if I just sent you back..."
"Please sir, if we fail in this mission, she will never let us die a peaceful death!" Mara answered, visibly shaking at the threat, "We won't disappoint you again!" Arachneim stayed quiet, but his face mirrored Mara's.
Troden smirked, rather impressed that Lady Forenthiel had her 'Watchers' trained so thoroughly, "Very well but know this, if this new addition gives me any reason to bring you back to her. I will and you will become experiments once again. Now be gone and continue gathering information."
"Yes Sir!" As they left Troden turned his attention back to the woman behind him, "What do you think of what little news given? Shall we gather our allies and broaden the seaches for these vessels or should we wait a little longer?"

Riken froze even beore he heard the bark. He knew his father's scent anywhere...and he knew he was doomed... No! I cannot give up! he thought, snpping himself into action and using the awkward moment between the two crazy people who wanted to take him back and Remus to squeeze past them and run towards freedom.
Just find the main street Riken and you can lose those three in the crowd... this was his only thought as he came upon the crowded street. He was in the process of breathing a sigh of relief when he rammed himself against a form as solid as a tree making him fall to the ground. He looked up to see two brown eyes looking at him curiously and for a moment, he thought it was his father's...until he saw the sheathed katana at his side. He only knew of that the Lotus and its allies carried swords around...was he a Lotus? Maybe he can help...
Riken continued to look up at him as the man reached out his hand and helped the boy up, "What are you doing running around so recklessly?" Salen asked as Riken patted dirt off his clothes, "You could have been seriously hurt."
"I apologize, but I will be hurt if I don't go." Riken said, looking scared and stressed out, "They must be gaining up on me as we speak! Excuse me..." he tried to run away, or made it seem so, but of course upon hearing that small explanation, Salen wasn't going to let him go.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked, frowning slightly, "Why would anayone want to kill you?"
"I anger a demon and now he's after me, along with the two people who have somehow been caught in a spell. They nearly captured me just now." he pulled slighlty and tried to moce once again, "I don't have time to explain so let me go!"
Salen shook his head and looked at the alley Riken just came from, "You'll have to explain this to me after I stop this. I won't allow a child to be hurt."
"Thank you sir..."
The vampire smiled slightly and let the boy go as he his hand reached for his blade, "Call me Salen."
Salen? Why does that sound so familiar?
--
Meanwhile, the meeting room was suddenly in an uproar as questions were being asked simultaneously and barely answered by Vincent and the others and even small debates were forming around those answers. Finally the Leader had enough.
He sighed lightly before looking at Emit, "Would you be so kind as to bring them back to order?" he asked, knowing very well hat the elemental hated any kind of chaos.
It would be a pleasure. Emit answered, clearly his throat and standing up, "Silence." The magic pouring from his voice made the others do just that. They even sat down, quietly shocked that the Leader had shut them down with a word.
Vincent smiled and nodded to Emit who sat down soon after, "Thank you my friend and to eeryone else I apologize, but we really must move on. I'll answer questions one at a time and so will the rest of the Ten. Now, who's first?"
--
"Gathering sounds so motherly..." a male voice said as footsteps echoed thoughout the room.
"We didn't know you cared so much." another voice said, this time female as it comepleted the sentence. Two figures soon stood side by side, their red eyes gleaming just as they bow in perfect sync.
"Let us 'gather' the little ducklings for you Sir. We need some form of entertainment until our task is at hand."

Mira couldn't help but smile, first when she heard Remus's words, and then when she watched Riken take off again. It certainly explained the person who wanted to "kill" him. It seemed the small boy had merely done something to irritate his parents, and in order to avoid punishment he ran away. Children were certainly strange things.
"Stand down, Lycan." Stefan's voice was powerful, but friendly, "We meant your boy no harm. He nearly ran us both down, and when he seemed scared we merely wanted to help. This is a grand misunderstanding."
"Stand down Stefan." Mira's voice was cheerful, despite the sword pointed at her and the gun pointed at her husband. When she turned to Remus, she even smiled. Friendliness seemed like it would be the best route. So, she introduced them, "Mira and Stefan Siddel. May I have the pleasure of your name, Lycan?"
-------------------------------------------------------------
A multitude of questions ran through Quinn's mind, but knew that it wasn't the time to ask them. In time, Ashra would answer anything that Quinn needed to know, or at the very least what Ashra felt he needed to know. So he continued to sit an observe, monitoring his instruments to ensure that they collected their information accurately. As he did that, he also kept his eyes on the room. Only so many things could be garnered from a piece of paper.

"Hold that thought." Remus chased after Riken again. He knew Riken's plan and did not like the idea of crowds. He turned the corner, and after a moments surprise, relaxed. "Salen, that little imp you're guarding is my son. Would you be so kind as to return him?"

[I'll post for everyne else later.]
A small squeek escaped his lips as his father spoke to his 'savior'. How did he know Salen? He wouldn't hand me over would he? Riken thought as he looked pleading up at Salen, "Hell is not compared to what he and my mom will make my life if I go back! Please sir, you promised to protect me! I cant believe you would go back on your word! You, a man I believed to be a warrior..." and as he went off on his little diatribe, Salen lifted him by the back of his shirt and gave him to Remus with a shake of his head.
"I see he has taken alot from his grandfather," Salen murmured over Riken's antics, "Let's hope he doesn't have the Asanti anger as well..." he finished with a chuckle before gesturing down the street, "I was hoping to meet you at the rendevous point, but seeing as you are busy shall we schedule it for later?"

Remus nodded. "Certainly. And thanks again." Remus kept a firm grip on his son and turned back the way he'd come.
He paused as he saw Stefan and Mira. "I'm sorry far our previous misunderstanding. If you'd like, you can accompany me home. I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind."

"It'd be a pleasure." Mira replied without hesitation. There was something about this one that screamed to Mira. She needed to know more.
"Lead the way." Stefan replied, falling in behind his wife. He didn't say much, but when he did speak he got his point across quickly, "Lead the way."

A flare in her senses gave her yet another pause, though she was pretty much at Troden's front door, stopping just before reaching the guards. She tilted her head, savouring the sensation in her head like some kind of aged wine. Distant, pale green eyes blinked before reaching out a metaphysical arm and brushing against Troden gently, a polite tap on the shoulder before withdrawing back into herself to wait. Things were happening in this metroplis, she could feel the excited buzz of the establishment before her, the beings inside, could feel it in other pockets of the city. The city was like a giant chessboard, players always maneuvering, a constant gambit. How intriguing. ~~~ Merlin, for her part, wasn't really much of a help, thought that was mostly due to the fact that there was no help needed. She sat back, legs crossed, fingers steepled in her lap, that unreadable Mona Lisa smile curving her lips subtely, the expression that hid what she was thinking from everyeone, even Vincent. She'd been secreted delighted at his frustration upon discovering the new expression on her, previous to his Slumber, she hadn't had such an expression in her repetoir, at least, not one that worked against him.
The smile widened as Emit calmed the chaos that had pervaded the room, obviously enjoying the tactic before her expression settled into the unscrutable again. Her gaze dropped as she felt something nudge her foot. Without pause, she leaned over and scooped up the speckled band snack, letting it coil up her arm and settle around her shoulders like some kind of scarf.
Sorry I'm late. She heard Copper's thoughts brush her mind.
The speckled band, how lovely. Merlin replied just as silently, Things were getting a bit excited...she proceeded to fill her in before they both returned their attention to the one who had the first question.

Remus nodded and gave a slight bow. "Thank you for accepting. Consider my apology for drawing my weapons on you." He gave Riken a look after that statement.

Bell smirked and kissed the side of Troden's cheek before sitting on the arm of the chair and leaning back, "Why be in such a hurry?" She glanced back at him. Turning her head to sound of someone else in the room, eyeing the person, "And who is this?" Her eyebrow raised slightly before she offered a soft smile that soon faded. She wasn't one to be fond of interuptions even if it took place a lot around Troden. It was one thing she would not get use to. "And what pleasure do we owe this interuption?" She tried keeping the disgust out of her words, but wasn't working so well.
-----
Seine lowered herself, curiously looking at the others and smiled slightly, "You know this is a very morbid subject...why isn't it, how have you been, what have you been doing? You always have to go to the darkest of topics." She sighed lightly and sat on the floor. The little girls' golden curly locks brushed against her chest giving a fairy tail appearance to the leader. She looked directly at Vince and smiled innocently, as any little kid would do when they know they've done something wrong.
