Kai's brow knit in confusion as he absent mindedly brushed back the hair from Priya's/Presea's face. "I guess that could make since... The magic used by the ancients to create the cyborgs could technically allow the holding of multiple souls connected to the original to kept in the shell..." he muttered, more to himself. "I'm sorry I forget my manners. I'm Kai." he offered with a slight smile. "If you don't mind me asking... How many souls did you say were there again?" he asked, scooping her up. Kai rose slowly into the air and headed straight toward the wing of the castle that housed both the labs and his private quarters from the outside.

Presea looked out through her sisters mind, noticing how she remained quiet in the back. She soothed her sister, paying attention then to what he was saying. "Yes, it was a part of their design." She murmured, bowing her head to him. "Greetings Kai, it's a pleasure. There are three within her technically right now. Mine, her own, and her sons. But technically her body can only hold one soul at a time, so she is holding her sons. There are other reasons I can enter it and not cause a problem." Her voice lost the brighter tone it held, and she could feel her sister cringe on the inside, calming her. She seemed to hold no qualms about being flown, looking up to him before her eyes scanned the landscape.

Kai sighed. "Nothing is ever simple anymore..." stepping through a window into his room, Kai walked over and gently placed Priya/Presea on the bed. Propping her up with pillows he wasn't exactly sure if she had enough strength to walk yet or not. The room they had entered looked like a bedroom and a well-used study thrown together. A large desk strewn with papers was in one half of the room, with floor to ceiling book shelves filled with to bursting with books swept 3 of the rooms walls. They had come from one of the windows in a wall of floor to ceiling length ones that faced the setting sun. It was cozy looking, but definity looked like someone spent alot more time in here working then sleeping, Especially with all the papers, books, and objects scattered throughout the room.

"With the times you live in, I'm afraid not." Presea murmured with a heavy sigh, noticing how the circuits twitched a bit at the difference of it's state of being. She looked around the room, observing the papers everywhere, glancing to the glass before turning her violet eyes back to him. "Especially not in the cases of cyborgs like my sister." She sighed heavily, looking down at her hands. I'll give your body back soon sister. "No, it's ok, I don't mind. You are entitled as far as I'm concerned." "Your room is impressive by the way. I'm sure if Dr. Rosen saw them she'd want to tackle them and read them all. Has Arya done the same? Or has she not been here yet? Forgive me if I'm being too bold, I'm still catching up on what my sister knows."

Kai had been going through a stack of papers when Presea asked her questions. "Hm?" he asked looking up. "Oh, sorry. No she hasn't been in my room since we were kids." Kai started looking through the stack again and pulled out a piece of paper as he continued. "When I took over as Grand Master my quarters were moved here to better situate me to preform my duties." He picked up a chair and put it down beside the bed. Sitting down he formed two glasses that filled with water and took them into his hands. Kai offered one to Presea/Priya. "As I've told the Priya and Jessica, you don't have to worry about insult while your asking me questions. I'm pretty much uninsultable." he added with a big smile as he slipped his water.

Presea just sorta nodded, she had been wondering if they had known each other that whole time. Or rather, Priya had wondered that. She had known as a spirit since she had watched from the ceiling. She took the offered glass, "Thank you." She murmured, taking a sip, raising her eyes as he began to speak again. It made her smile softly, giving a small giggle as she nodded once more. "Alright. Did you have any questions for me before I let Priya retake her control?" She asked in a sweet voice, tilting her head a little as she drank some more of her water.

Kai sighed. "Too many. But I'm afraid I know when my poor neko brain can't take it." He tilted his head to the side as he looked at Presea/Priya, one of his ears twitched. "It was nice meeting you though. I hope you can come back under less... strenuous circumstances." he chatted, taking a sip of his water. He's ear twitched again. "Oh! Wait..." Kai hit himself in the head with his palm. "I almost forgot..." he held up the paper he had been searching for in the stack. "I told you my brain's too small for all of this..." he added with a smile at Presea/Priya as a blob rose from the floor and transformed into a table. Spreading the paper out on the table so that it faced Presea/Priya he looked up to lock eyes with her, as small smile on his face. "I thought as a representative of sorts for the ancients, that you might want to see this."

Presea smiled softly with her body, nodding a little. "It was a pleasure Kai. I'm sure I'll be coming back sooner than you would expect." She blinked at the exclamation, pausing as she was about to revert back to Priya again. Come on sis, don't be so reluctant to take over your body. She told her, furrowing her brows as she looked at what he held up. She gave a small, "eep!" and then her eyes rolled into the back of her head before refocusing, though it was obvious she was a little out of it. Her sensors seemed to give off a small shock, going on the fritz. "Gah. My body's not used to the multiple spirits within me. I can't see at the moment, what is it? One of the documents of the Azghar?" She asked, trying to fix her systems so that everything wasn't blurred and multiple colors that weren't coinciding together to form a proper image. Well, you should have been more careful about switching! "Sorry, I got excited."

"I think so. We found it in ruins we uncovered about a month or so ago." Kai stated, smoothing out the paper. He was worried about Presea/Priya not being able to see though. Kai laid a hand on her cheek. "You okay?" he asked, still smoothing out the paper with the other hand. Laid out on the table was the most detailed picture of the Ancients world they had. Given it was faded a bit, but it showed in super detail a thriving Ancient city and its citizens all clothed in vibrant colors. Strange vehicles, see through walk way thousands of miles up, spiraling towers of glistening material, streets packed with Ancients going about there daily task. Business men, women with children, children playing and frolicking. Everyone seemed happy and natural as if they would reach off the page and pull you back in time at any moment.

Priya felt the touch, finally repairing her systems enough so her eyes snapped back into focus. "Yeah, now I am. Sorry if I worried you." She said with a small bow of her head, looking then at the paper that he had smoothed out. Her eyes widened a little, feeling the third spirit she held flare to life. Tears had risen to her eyes, falling slowly down her face, her fingers touching the page. Biting her lower lip, it felt familiar, she knew that she had known the city. "Itool...." She murmured, feeling the Ancient within her shudder. "My ancient was from there. He misses it terribly." She murmured, keeping her voice steady somehow.

"Itool." Kai muttered, his ear twitching as he thought. "It was one of the main cities if I remeber, right?" he asked, pratically leaping over the back of his chair as he dashed to his desk and grabbed ink and blank parchment. "It was the one with the main Holy Temple at the heart?" he asked, trying to remember all they had decphifered from the ruins. Sitting back downhe wet his pen in the ink and posied it over the parchment.

Priya closed her eyes, something seeming to rise from her body, blank parchment swirling in the air to take the form of a man that came from her back. Only his torso up was visible. "Itool was one of the main cities. It was a jewel of our success, of all we had accomplished. Beauty, art, science, music, literature, design..." The man spoke with an air of longing, no accent clear in it either. Ink seemed to swirl on his body to form more defined features, his eyes a piercing gold. "that is correct, the temple was at it's heart. The Mother Goddess would visit us upon occasion. At the Equinox, and the Solstice. Whatever times she would come otherwise were when we were in need. For example, she was there when the disease first showed it's face. She helped us get the designs for the cyborgs that we used. Even if she didn't like what we had to do in order to make them." He murmured, lowering his eyes to the girl beneath him. He ran a hand through her hair sadly, the pages fluttering at his movement.

Kai, who had been writting furiously all this apparation said, looked up then. "If you don't mind me asking... What do you mean?" he asked, bobbing is head respectfully at the man. Kai sketched a picture of the man as he waited for his reply. That at least was something he could beat Ayra in. Although she was brillant and beautiful, she could never quite draw what she saw. A small smile played across his lips breifly as the thought passed through his head.

The man looked at Kai, observing the smile that had played across his face. His own expression softened, but grew hard to read shortly thereafter. "You understand that there are two beings that exist, correct? This body was Presea's. We had to harvest it into what it is now. She allowed us to as long as we put her sickly sister Priya's mind into it. Even with the other cyborgs, we would have to use peoples bodies and modify them to our uses. They all volunteered to do it since we were regarded like gods. We did not think of ourselves as such. Though, some of us did. No society is perfect." He answered, touching his hand to Priya's shoulder with a heavy sigh. "They had no other family to speak of. But they both believed that this was best for their lives. Those few of us that remain, also regret this fact that we were so selfish to ask for their lives."

Kai nodded as he recorded what the man said. "Sometimes we don't have the luxury of seeing ourselves as others see us. We're not able to see the horror of what we're doing in the name of preservation." he commented, tilting his head to one side as an ear twitch. "So Preasa made a deal with you all to save her sister in exchange for the hope of saving your race?" he asked, ear twitch again.
