Nicoletta appeared in the garden of the pagoda looking around. She gave a soft smile to the evergreen garden, she supposed Dyanel's magic made it beautiful no matter what the season. She walked along wondering where Emberis was and she spotted someone sitting on a bench by a statue. She walked over, realizing it was Cole.
Hello there Cole, long time no see?
She inquired with a brilliant white smile. It had been a while since she had been to the pagoda, she had been trainning to fight in the demon world.

Cole looked at Nicoletta and smiled, waving his hand at her.
"How are you Nicoletta? It's been a while since you've been back."
It was hard to believe that this woman had captivated Emberis hard heart, but Cole was glad his elder brother had found someone.

Nicoletta smiled brightly again giving a nod.
Yes, it has. I was trainning to become a full fledged fighter. I am now, and I was wondering if you've seen Emberis so I could tell him the news.
She said this with a somewhat childlike enthusiasm, but it seemed like she was trying hard to hide it.

Cole smiled at Nicoletta's eagerness to tell Emberis of her training. It seemed to Cole that his brother had found a very special lady. Cole shook his head before he replied...
"Unfortunatly I havn't seen him in a while. I'm sure he's somewhere on the grounds."

Nicoletta gave a small sigh. She looked around then smiled slightly.
Thanks Cole, I'll go look for him.
She said walking toward the exit of the pagoda.

After walking outside for a bit, Emberis led Saki to the entrance of the garden and pointed inside. The garden was massive and full of unique plants and many different variety of flowers.
"The man you seek is within the garden. He will most likely be by the statues in the center of the garden. This is where I leave you. Hope to see you around kid. and good luck."
Emberis turned and left Saki, head of to find Nicoletta...

As Cole leaned against the statue of his mother. he slowly started to drift off into sleep, something rare for Cole. He was now parctically laying upon the bench with his upper half resting upon the statue.His mind wandered back ot the days of his youth, before he left his village to begin his journey into the world...

Saki looked incredulous. How was she supposed to go looking for this strange man when she was surrounded by so many flowers? Summoning all the will power she had, She took a deep breath, and blocking the flowers from her mind, walked towards the way the man had pointed.

She stopped when she came across a statue of a beautiful woman, and a man dressed in all black... sleeping? Saki raised an eyebrow. Can it be? she thought to herself. This man, looking so defenseless.. this is the legendary Shadow my Uncle talked so much about? She shrugged. "I could be wrong," she said to herself. She walked upslowly,and tapped on the mans shoulder lightly. What if its not him? she wondered.

As Saki looked down at Cole, the demon had already woken up when his body felt a new energy and a familar one approach, yet he continued to lay there, giving the impression of sleep. Without Skai noticing, a S.Cole appeared silently behind Saki and whispered next to her...
"Look at him, lounging about, completely defensless. Wouldn't you agree?"

Saki nodded. "I've heard great stories about this man. My uncle says he took down a demon king once, and was a very powerful fighter. Someone just told me he forged this sword," she motioned to the katana at her hip. "How much do you know of him?" she asked quietly.

The S.Cole smirked at the question Saki asked. With a smile on his lips the S.Cole answered...
"Quite a bit actually. I could most likely tell whether or not the stories you've heard are true or not."
Unbeknownst to Saki, Cole shifted places with his Shadow self and was now standing next to her while the two of them stared at his shadow self laying on the bench.

"So then, you two are close I presume?" she asked, turning to look at the person beside her. "what else can you tell me," she asked, a smirk on her face. The smirk vanished when she realized who she was talking to. Moreover, her eyes widened as she realized who she'd been talking to this whole time. She pointed at him, speechless, her mouth open in shock.

The smile Cole wore on his face was his trade mark. This was starting to become a past time for Cole, greeting new guest by shocking them. Cole's eyes fell upon the blade she had origanlly pointed to. Instantly, Cole recognized the katana as the sword he had forged and given to Raven Strongwright of the Strongwright clan. Looking at Saki, Cole could see the family resemblence...
"I take it you are Raven's niece, correct? You have your families features. What brings you here to my little haven?"
Behind Saki, the S.Cole vanished in a puff of smoke, leaving only a few vapors in its wake.

She took a moment to regain her composure. "Yes, I am a Strongwright. My mother was a fraternal twin to my Uncle Raven.... he.. often spoke of you, they were great stories." she shook her head and looked up at him. "I've had this sword for 7 years," she said. "I found a rather large man....actually he found me in the library, and he said I'd find you here." she bit her thumbnail. "He looked... gruff," she said.
