"Lost in this world of love and war."  Demetri waved a hand carelessly, being automatically changed into soft black pajamas and he pulled down his covers, collapsing on his bed and resting his hands behind his head and staring at the ceiling, a satisfied smile on his face. "A night of surprises this one was," he murmured, looking over at the window as what looked like a creeping sunrise started to climb up. He sighed softly and closed his eyes, falling asleep almost instantly. I am but a dragon.  Just as Searan was about to open his door, he heard some maids scream down the hall, making him jump. Groaning under his breath, he turned and headed down as a maid came skittering out of Luke's room. He looked in through the crack in the door, catching sight of all the fainted maids. "What did you do?" he asked tiredly. [OOC:] rofl BEST STAR WARS REFERENCE EVER

Luke looked to Searan who had peeked in, then at the maids. "Oops..." he mumbled before springing out of bed and out the door past Searan. "A disturbance in the force, I sense!" he growled, sliding to Demetri's door. Make that past it as his feet slipped on the marble floor and he went down the stairs. At the bottom in a small heap, he wept. "A pain in my everything, I feel...."

I am but a dragon. Searan moved to the side as Luke came barreling past him, and he watched as he ran towards the end of the hallway, then slid and fell down the stairs. Wide-eyed, the dragon bolted after him, glad to be wearing shoes with traction, and leaped down the last view steps to crouch by Luke. "Are you alright? And why do you keep talking, sort of, backwards?" he asked, not sure which question was more valid for the time being. He looked at Luke, looking to see if there was any blood on the wolf demon. Since he'd cracked the skin on his knuckles punching Demetri, he'd ripped up a bandage while in the desert still, and he knew the leftovers were in his pocket.

Luke laid out flat on the floor, staring seriously at the ceiling. "Something is closing in on my baby sister. I will protect her." he said passionately. Though little did he know that the damage had been done and there was nothing the little wolf demon could do about it.

I am but a dragon. Searan sighed heavily, blowing his bangs from his face, and he shook his head, still crouching beside Luke. "I'll get Anya. You stay there, in case you're hurt," he said, straightening and easily climbing the stairs. He walked down the hallway, knocking on Anya's door and wincing as he remembered that his knuckles were bruised. The sleepy fairy opened her door with a yawn, and he didn't say anything, just grabbed her wrist and led her to the wolf demon at the foot of the stairs. If everything were as it seemed, life would be a dream.  Not awake really, Anya was sure she was dreaming as she pretty much floated down the stairs after Searan. He gestured to Luke and explained that the demon had fallen down the stairs after some incoherent babble. Anya blinked the sleep from her eyes and sat down beside Luke, shaking her head. "I can already tell you you've got a broken toe and a bunch of bruises on your back," she said, stifling a yawn as she extended her hand. Little patches on Luke's back and his big toe lit up a bright blue, then the toe and a couple of bruises stopped lighting. Finally, the last bruises stopped glowing, and she shrugged sleepily. "You're back's gonna be killin' you in the mornin'," she said, her words slurring together a little in her tiredness.

The wolf sat up, nodding, though not knowing when to take the hint of just lay down and rest. This was accented as he helped Anya back to her room, apologizing for disturbing her. He then left Anya's door cracked in case Searan wanted to make sure she was alright the rest of the night. The wolf simply headed to his bed and went into a peaceful sleep. "My back...."

I am but a dragon. Searan shook his head at the wolf as he helped Anya to bed then went to his own room. The dragon stretched his arm across his chest, then went up the stairs. On his way down the hallway, he caught sight that Anya's door was opened just a crack, and tilting his head, he walked closer, peering in. She was just sitting on the edge of her bed, staring out the window. With a sigh, he looked at the floor. It grew closer, and he nudged the door open with his dragon snout, shambling in as he folded his wings against his back. With one quick movement, he shut the door behind him with his tail and leaped up onto her bed, crawling over to her side and resting his nose on her knee, looking up with the closest to puppy eyes he could get. If everything were as it seemed, life would be a dream. Anya felt Searan's nose on her knee, but she didn't look down, just patted his head and left her hand resting in between his ears. She was rather tired, she just couldn't get her brain to fully shut down and let her sleep in peace. Finally, and stubbornly, she moved a little, sliding herself under her blankets without moving Searan, who was now stretched across the foot of her bed, his head resting on her feet as she fell into a fitful sleep.

After the odd, yet surprisingly romantic night passed, Lunora was in an odd mood. All the maids were talking about it. She wasn't her fiery self, but she was smiling a lot more. A carefree smile. They hadn't ever seen her so relaxed. Or Luke so darn stressed. He was wigging out over in his room, his back hurting too much to get himself out of bed.

"Lost in this world of love and war." Still exhausted from his escapade in the desert the night before, Demetri didn't get out of bed until well past the reasonable morning time for waking up. It took a maid, who, already concerned with Luke and Lunora's behaviors, to knock on his door, startling him from his pleasant dreams and causing him to slide off his bed and onto the ground. He called out that he was fine, and he'd be out in a moment, before staring around at the ground for a little bit. So, what parts were dreams? he asked himself, pushing himself up to at least a sitting position. He smiled to himself. Only a few minor sentences had been the projection of his sleeping imagination. Yawning and stretching his arms, the wizard pulled himself to his feet and waved a hand lazily, changing his clothes into a similar tunic and pants from what he'd worn the day before, the shade only a hint of a lighter black. With that, he stepped out the room, an involuntary smile stretched across his face as he headed down to the dining hall. The maids were already cleaning up the remnants of lunch, but he managed to snag an apple before they disappeared, and he headed down the castle steps, out the front door, and onto the lawn, smile still in place. If everything were as it seemed, life would be a dream. When Anya had woken up, she'd been pleasantly delighted to see a dragon with butterfly wings curled up on the pillow beside her. She stifled a laugh as she pet Searan's head. When she'd first brought him back to the castle, he'd been small, like a puppy, and had easily fit onto the pillow beside her. However, now, he was almost longer than the bed itself, and it was rather comical to the faerie to see him attempt to curl around the one small pillow. Though she hadn't slept all too well, Anya was looking forward to the day, merely because she had a good feeling about it. Faeries intuition, after all. With one last absentminded pat to Searan's head, she slid down to the floor and padded across the room to her closet, quickly changing into a blouse and skrit and heading down to breakfast.After lunch, Anya still hadn't seen Searan again. He'd disappeared from her room after breakfast, and hadn't come to lunch, either. Anya couldn't shake the good mood that had invaded her mind when she'd woken up, but she also could help but be perturbed by the hybrid's disappearance. He came in late last night; maybe he's just sleeping longer. Demetri was out for a long time, too. There is much to learn in this world. To learn it, you must realize you know nothing.  The first thing Jethrow had done that morning upon waking up was rush to his brother's room, fling open the door, and silently retreat again. True to his word, Searan had retrieved Demetri from whatever dimension he'd whirled himself away to in his misery. Curious, Jethrow had attempted to track down information from Luke, but the wolf demon had been incapacitated, babbling about stairs, the force, and speaking in backwards rhymes. Lunora hadn't been much help, either. Just like his own younger sibling, the fox demon seemed to have the same aura around her that, even sleeping, Jethrow had seen on Demetri. She also had a bit of a goofy smile for a few moments when Jethrow had seen her walking the castle. The wizard, unaccustomed to being out of the know, had been pacing his study nonstop, practically waiting for the answers to drop into his mind. However, things didn't work like that. A maid brought lunch to him, and he realized he hadn't been paying attention to the time. After eating, he began his pacing again. Almost an hour later, he saw something moving on the main lawn, and he drew close to the window. None other than Demetri was walking along the grass, an apple in hand and that goofy grin on his face. It brought a smile to Jethrow's face, too. "Looks like things got patched up," he said to himself. I am but a dragon. It had taken Searan a few moments to comprehend just where he was when he woke up. The scent of the pillow under his dragon head and paws was familiar enough, and the room seemed comfortable, but it took the sight of a trinket on Anya's nightstand for him to rocket up, snorting smoke as he realized he had fallen asleep with the faerie girl. She was gone now, no doubt either training or eating, and he hopped down from the bed sheepishly, stretching his back and flapping his wings a couple of times. He drew himself up into human form and left her room, sneaking down the hallway to his own room, ducking behind a statue to avoid a maid seeing him. As soon as he was locked in the sanctuary of his room, he sagged against the door, running a hand over his forehead. He was tired, exhausted from the time-hopping he'd done before. His knuckles still hurt from hitting Demetri, and when he removed his makeshift bandage, he grimaced. The sickly yellow tinge on the skin was clearly not a good sign. He decided to sleep before asking Anya to heal the cuts and bruise, and as soon as he sunk into his pillow, he was out like a light.

Luke just groaned from his bed. His back was killing him. And he kept trying to get up, only to fall back down in pain. He sighed some and just stared at his ceiling. He was going to hate laying here.
Lunora headed out to the gardens to meditate a while. She had been smiling more often and she guessed it was creeping everyone out. The fox demon moved among the bushes and flowers, occasionally running her hands across their leaves and petals. Being around nature helped her be calm and declutter her mind. She soon arrived at a small lake and smiled a little. Her old meditating spot. She drew a long katana, removing it from its just as long sheath and sunk the blade into the sandy shore of the lake. She then slipped her shoes off and jumped onto the hilt, balancing on one of her feet, going into a meditative state.

"Lost in this world of love and war." Demetri decided to wander a bit, as he was almost done with his apple, and he turned his head both left and right, trying to decide which direction to go in. To the left was the training field that Luke and Lunora used with their students; it was empty for now, but he knew soon enough there would be students there. So, instead, he headed right, towards the many gardens that the castle had accumulated. He followed along a trail, feeling almost a sense of de ja vu. He realized he'd followed this path once when following Lunora to her mother's temple. He came across the same building, and stood outside it, staring up, debating whether he should go in or not.

Lunora had finished her meditating and decided to pray for a while. Talking to her mother would make her keep her happiness for a while. She headed down the trail to her mother's temple, humming softly to herself. She was dressed as if to mimic some sort of ancient ninja or assassin as she drew closer to the temple.

"Lost in this world of love and war." Demetri had tentatively entered the temple, and come to the place he'd previously seen Lunora kneeling. He knelt down, a little uncomfortably, but he put his hands on the ground and looked up at the wall. "This is so weird," he muttered to himself. Decidedly, he moved so he was sitting cross-legged, much more comfortable. "This is probably stupid, and all, but, uh, yeah. So, Luonra's mother? I really can't think of what else to call you. I...don't know your name. But, anyways, I just... Well, um, I wanted to just tell you that your daughter... She was pretty upset. She felt bad for your death, and, well, she shouldn't. You probably know that, her brother knows that, and I know that. So, yeah. I'm....I'm gonna try to make sure she knows that. If you're watching, or whatever it is, from up there, you...You probably know that I've done some stupid stuff... But I, uh, I promise.... I promise to do my best to make your daughter happy."

Lunora had stopped jsut outside the door, listening to Demetri talk to her mother. She thought for a moment before quietly coming in and tapping on a statue of a fox.
The inside of the temple was suddenly engulfed in light as they both appeared on a shore, a small river separating them from a small island where a woman sat, drinking tea out of a finely crafted tea set. Her hair was black as Demetri's but flowed like an ebony river as she set her cup down. It was apparent where Lunora got her looks, for this demon's eyes pierced Demetri's own and stared into his soul
'So... Who is your guest, my daughter? Demetri I take it?" her voice was also enchanting.

"Lost in this world of love and war." Demetri had put up a hand to shield his eyes when the light had come on. He looked around in surprise as everything changed from the temple to a river's shore. He spotted Lunora, then, another woman. He lowered his hand slowly and realized just who this woman had to be. He couldn't move as the woman spoke, staring into his eyes. He couldn't even really react as she said his name. His eyes darted towards Lunora in surprise. Needless to say, Demetri was confused.
