Welcome to Gaia! ::

"As my sister given the name of The Crimson Wind Dancer as an alias, I have to do the same so a dipute starts knowing now she'll do anything to kill me now for what I've done to damage things."

Yuki's smile faded a little on the thought but knew there wasnt anytime to sit and think of the past mistakes, and as well Drako's last words of their time being close to up rung some question that were best to see when it came to it. Kurai came in the doorway seeing something was up but as soon as he saw the look on his mistress' face he smirked knowing he was going to be sensing more power from her but not the kind he was thinking but power hidden till it was time for use, now was the time as her energy merged with her body changing not her garments but even her looks as her tell tale red eyes were now a blue grey hazed over as if she was blind but could see fine, as well Kurai looked on and didnt see the queen anymore, but another being awoken.
"The time has come that my sister and the others need to know whats happened, as of now I'm no longer Yuki Nightshade, Queen of the Universe and this realm....but now I am Yūrei, the Silent Shadow Dancer."
She simply looked up to the vanoty and was lost of words at the changes and the fact she will be back to being inches from her older sister again actually fighting on the same side but hidden amongs the dark at the same time as another person.

Even for Yuki she knew that the time had finally come to have the book be down to its last page and forever shut for everyone's time, the constant fighting and splitting of realms and lands was finally going to subside and come back to normal. As being a Dresden hero during the days of her shadow kitsune, having to fear of the next thing to come was always on her mind and it was time to have the feeling gone and out of the way however something was still heavy in her heart.

Thinking about the pain Yuki realized and questioned herself but like most times pushed the feeling aside knowing that the main priority was to fulfill on Drako's wishes and go inform the others and finally give him a chance to be at peace with himself, beyond trying to cover time off his image she could tell on the inside his body was tired and worn from all the years and having to bear a heavy heart for more years without his lover....a tourture like that wasnt something he deserved but in reality it happened and he had to overcome several stings of madness as his emotions were becoming more intense from being lonely, heavy hearted, depressed, angry, almost any emotion a person would endure if they were to deal with something he had, which was losing a loved one, his dedicated partner for life.

Touching the petals it was almost as if Yuki felt somewhat secure that it wasnt just her in the room but being watched not by a mentor and guardian, but a true and dear friend by her side, giving her the feeling of security she lacked while covered in a veil of hate and emptiness, having positive feelings again was what was keeping Yuki strong enough to keep from going mad, and making the same mistakes again that would've eventually led to her death either from her or another's hands. For once after what seemed to been months servants finally heared her door open and were very hesitent at first she would go on a rant or cause rage, however this time they could tell something was different.They couldnt feel the fearful aura around her but something neutral as she passed them not even giving a look like they were even there, some looked at eachother asking themselves if this was good since Yuki wasnt angry or could be bad since it almost looked like they just past a dead looking person with the only thing showing much life was the deep red rose in her hair, which in Yuki's own thoughts was what she wanted as a reaction given her appearance and went right through the heavy entrance doors, though heart heavy with something she knew what had to be done as she walked outside.

Though it had been what almost felt like months since they were partially together in the realm there were smiles in the crowd of the surviving clan, realizing that there was going to be more help on their side then the hell they had to be through just trying to keep alive in the almost all water world. Vertusk greeted them happily as a few curious members came close to see if their eyes were not playing tricks of a hallutionation many had been plague with, which sadly sent a few to their own deaths being caught up in the tides or caught by the massive water creatures that lived in the waters below their feet. Besides the hard turmoil and obstacles there was room to be a little hopeful and happy that somthing was possily going to make things look less grim and a little towards the goal each have set.
Everest, being the youngest yet very productive one as she was went up to Drako at a good distance and smiled since it wasnt something playing games in her head but he was right there, but didnt know nor did Vertusk, Eve, or Hitomi on what he had to say since being gone and didnt know if it would be something good or bad, that was the one thing they would have to face when he decided to talk. Vertusk went up to Drako and could tell of the wear he had to his complextion as he was able to see the years start to come back to his old friend bringing him closer to the group.
"It seems something has been troubling in your mind if I can see you in the way your looking my friend, but as well all of us are glad your alright if you managed to come back. It surely must've been tough times back home with the absence you've gave us but it was all had to be in good intentions in my opinion. We've manage to keep all we can together but alas with the realm changing each day flooding more and more till even the platforms are becoming small, though we've lost some to the waters were all staying very close."

Vertusk nodded in agreement that to have a companion to help fight with her would be nice while on the other hand nodding to place an act, he was a tad hesitent to know his wife was now helping with the cause but having to live with her for the short time together Yuki had a temper that would mean an exicution if need be. However, if Drako was to say this information than there was no room to ask questions or rebel since the fair truth of giving others a second chance even if they had tried to cause terror and misery all over, yet if something becomes out of line or a change in behavior Vertusk would make sure Eve and Hitomi knew and an action would be placed but for now it was all playing and not exposing another.
For Hitomi to hear she was being givin a partner was a bit of a shock and an honor at the same time since it wasnt too long ago she made a deal with the assasian, remain loyal to the reaper, now to be partnered up with another fighter that would be a great aid as she was to Eve and the rose reaper, yet was curious on how her straigy would be to communicate with one who is mute, then again mute fighters were common when she was an assasian and simple body language to tell what needed to be said. As the rest of the members came together there was confusion and asking of what was happening noe that they have seen the reaper finally come back, but this time the truth was going to tell everything.

At first glance Hitomi was at the verge to pounce but from the hand to her shoulder and the clue it switched how she felt, from her perspective the dancer did look alot like her little sister from the height and tone of skin, but she was driven another look since in her mind it was rare for Yuki to just come out of the blue and show herself like she did being the fake Phamtronian back in the ice realm. The briht red rose in the dancer's hair was the clue she was with them since it resemble Scarlet's symbol and Hitomi knew that was the one item she had on her most of her life so the rose was more like a pin of membership in a way and the nerves went down.
Amongs the roaring crown Verusk was having a slight problem himself to keep from losing his ego since not seeing her for the years of being missing, though it had been quite some time he wasnt going to let emotion change how he thought about her since the games and how they went were her doing with help from Sara, something he wished she didnt do but power was the thing bringing the problems in the first place. What matter the most was that Drako found the strength to tell the brave surviviors of this battle the truth of what was more important than just a mere game of battle of the fittest, it was war to make sure there would even be another tomarrow from the sun rising low if it would mean another day or be the end of everything people had seen in the world and the universe itself. Drako had done a fine job of finally speaking up than simply lying within the shadows and wait for something to happening, having to hide was becimg too common and old for his own good since it was now time that was the teetering thing happening, but since now his identity was shown to everyone in the clan there was no need to hide anymore and be part of the group once again but for the time being rest whenever they could and stay close with the small clan being picked by the wilderness and creatures, but it was a matter of time till the water realm would change and another realm would open but even that was a bit of a fear since there were only two realms remaining, fire and the shadows which were easy places for a few but some had feared those places since stories would surface up and become nightmares to even the toughest of soldiers from other realms.
Hitomi and Eve were talking amongs themselves as the clan had made camp since Eve knew something was on her mind about the sudden newcomer but even Eve wasnt much help neither, all she knew was that she was one of Scarlet's trusted fighters and left it at that while Hitomi started to see that as well since seeing the red rose in her hair, knowing too well Yuki never did like bright plants and forbid the rose since in a way she grew jealous of it bring back memories of the past seeing that flower everywhere she went and rather have the Nightshade blossem flourish in her palace.
"I knew I was out of line but just to see her reminded me on rage but at least I'm greatful I was grabbed before going out of line, all I know is she's the one the reaper had been saying would help but I looked at appearances first then explination. This Yūrei girl is a dancing fighter like me but I wonder what kind with a name like that."
Hitomi pondered as she walked by clan members resting with a little more ease than before knowing what was to come now that the truth had been spoken.

He didnt want to admit his deepest thought on the question yet if it continued to lay hidden in his mind, it would only deepen more to the point of becoming heavy to bear with and would eat him insode out. For Vertusk though, of all the years he had been around Drako as a friend to a former student seeing body and facial language was a keen thing he could spot and right there he could see that Drako was in agonizing pain, not ohysical from a fight or a sudden verbal assalt but deep in his body his heart was scarred and almost to the verge of crumbling from the ache and misery that he was to let go of his beloved than his own living would be nothing more than a burden, a nightmare he could never try to break free from being unable to die on his own behalf, hence just adding on to the fact Drako had nowhere to run from the agony but to have a good chip on his shoulder and stand tall just a little more longer and Vertusk knew he was capable of doing so.
"Your words are correct in every way dear old friend, Scarlet is not around anymore to help fight your battles like she did in the past, though some were petty but this....this fight you have to go on your own and like you said before, the time is coming when you can finally take the rest your needed all these years as time starts to show itself on the outside.....just one more....one more fight to avenge her and thats when your agony can cease to exist."
Drako was quiet as he configure what his mind was saying and the words from the outside that came to his ears, yet Vertusk had a point in everything spoken, he had to fight just once more and everything would finally ease for him.

For those in the small clan what they had heared with their ears of a simple folklore in thier own home realms was reality to their eyes, the sight was a bit much for a few of them to the point they were in a panic beyond having the things they had to endure in the waters below their feet. They were lucky this time that Drako was able to cometo his senses than let the anger fester in his body and make him even more enraged, but with that he looked at the frightened faces as they huddled closer not too sure on his next move even Vertusk was a little fazed at what he had started to see brewing in fromt of him, his friend that he knew his wife had the ability to change into a demonic persona had the same trait and in a way looked intimidating to the eye as he kept a distance for a moment but at the same time knew that it was the rage that had made him snap a little and change his appearance, having to think about it though wouldnt someone want to show their anger when they want to gain up to the one thing they desire and the fact they somehow could not reach it because of an obstacle?
That was the question buzzing in Vertusk's mind and had a good point on why as well, he himself knew of the witch Sara since he was brought back from the dead from her hand but at the cost of a idiotic choice and the cause of this entire game played out too far, yet he had surpassed that and got the idea she was the main key with Drako. Some had heared of the past Sara and Drako had with one another however it turned into a vengful love grudge that at first, seemed like it went her way but at the same time just made things worse on her end because of the fact that though Scarlet was gone from existence in this world, Drako still kept a bond with her that kept her spirit going causing Sara to just grow more and more grudgeful with time since she wanted to see him suffer for all eternity and he was going to do anything in his power to end her little game since her pieces were fading off. Once the clan shook the fear from their bodies it was finally seen that they were truely in the face of death, yet death himself was along their side and not for harm. Though he was showing his more sinister side they knew that something like this was possible but not as roght there as they had hoped for since Drako's appearane stuck fear to most of them in the group, somehow however the smallest member was looking on not in fear but on her face was understanding as she got closer to Drako without backing off or stopping in a pause. Vertusk tried to grab for Everest but he was too far off as she was inches from him not even realizing the fact he could snap again, but she just put a hand to his face.
"You dont mean to hurt anyone in this group though they believe you can turn on them your just sad, a sad man that wants to be free from the bad hurts and be happy.....like daddy and mommy has said before, keep looking up and it'll happen in your own hands."
