Welcome to Gaia! ::

She nodded softly. "I see well maybe it likes me more?" she asked giggling and as the holograms faded away to leave an empty room she looked to the tree and it slowly faded down, vanishing to nothing as if it was never there. Hearing she could go rest and sleep in tomorrow she sighed. "Thank you. I'm exhausted. I didn't think I could ever control this like this before." She said moving and left the room to go rest up and be ready for tomorrow. Kuri nodded hearing Sodain's order and gave the call to the others to come to the room stated making sure she would not hear. The others there made their way to the holo room 2 Sodain wanted them to meet in, curious to what was going on and what it was he wanted them to meet for.

Everyone waited then filed in and took their seats wondering what was going on that was so important to keep it so hidden. "What's going on?" Kida asked the yellow crystal user as her clone nodded sitting at her side. Rosatil was also confused and curious with Silvia and the others who watched Sodain wondering what it was he wanted them all gathered for. "Is the new ruby crystal user alright?" Lita asked worried.

They listened, Kida nodding and her yellow crystal clone spoke. "She isn't dead, right?" The clone asked watching Sodain. Kida sighed rolling her eyes. "I doubt she's dead. If she was dead we'd be in huge trouble and plus I don't think Sodain would allow her to die." Kida explained to her clone who nodded relased a soft 'oooh' as that thought went through and made sense. Silvia sighed rolling her eyes. "Why can you no longer teach her Sodain? There's no way she has surpassed you. Not as much time has passed than what my data records show on how long it took you to master the crystal of ruby." She said pulling up some charts in front of her computer eye keeping them to herself.

They stared in shock and awe at hearing this then seeing the footage laughed at the poses and when all was done Itari nodded. "Seems he did have some kin left. Explains why she was able to use the tree so easily without much strain whereas you could not for so long and had to build your body up to it." He said nodding again as he spoke. "So what does this mean? Does it mean she is an offical guardian? or does it mean that the shadows are going to come through soon?" Lita asked wondering what was going to happen next. Kuri sighed. "We might need to make sure she stays safe. If the shadows are up to something then it can't be good especially if they learn about her and of her natural abilties with the ruby crystal." Kuri explained leaning back in his chair. "Besides she may be skilled but that doesn't mean she has no weaknesses or flaws that could be used against her." He explained and looked at Sodain not sure if he would want to tell them of the one weakness that she held and had been seen many times in the training.

They all nodded in agreement as Kuri sighed hating that was brought up somewhat. "I'll make sure she keeps on her training and that the excluded codes stay out of the mix. It may not be a technical weakness but it shows that if she see's someone she knows and cares for in danger or not acting like them she will hesitate and not attack them. That's a dangerous thing if the shadows learn and can change their forms." Kuri stated getting a serious look and nod from Silvia who understood this risk. She touched her head and formed to show a hologram of a shadow. "This shadow has no name to my data. This data is out of date so he might have a name now. His shadow power is the ability to change into someone he sees in your mind. He's a deadly force. Easy but deadly if he reads your thoughts and is your enemy. He lays low and doesn't really cause much activity but can be dangerous. She should learn to handle the images of those she cares for and learn how to fight back instead of hesitating and trying to flee like Kuri." Silvia stated in her monotone like voice ignoring the glare from the vampire prince Kuri that used dark crystals.

Time passed by with Mida keeping up her training. She kept it up, continuging to master her skills with training with others. She wasn't aware her father was alive or not, all she knew was she was doing good at matstering her skills and control of the crystal of ruby. Elsewhere along the land a man walked, wearing a dark cloak to keep himself covered from the rain. He entered an inn and removed his hood, dark marks under his eyes like tattoos as he looked around and sat at the bar, ordering a drink. Some people shyed away from him, moving away nervous of him and afraid, reconizing his eyes as those the shadow kin carried. The people stayed away from him the tender to the bar gave him his drink and quickly moved away from him. As people whispered and muttered he began to grow annoyed by this the whispers from the shadow side. Eventually he stood and turned, attacking them with shadow crystals and when he was doen releasing his power the room was in ruins and people either dead or injured and playing dead due to fear. He snorted and walked off finishing his drink and left, continuing on his way.

He would change after a time walking on heading towards Syna. He was after a woman people had rumored about that could use ruby crystals like he had once been able to and wanted that back, his shadow self thirsting for it. In his light side he held no memory of his shadow self and what he did. When he would see people be cautious or call him ashadow or flee from him he was confused, not knowing how badly he was with his shadow self. In Syna as he continued Mida trained and fought, using her bow with more skill including trying out different weapons with her crystals as well to try and get used to other weapons for the right battle. She continued this for some time before pausing and looking around feeling an odd power a distance away but yet was nearing.

When she looked away Silvia attacked without hesitation causing Mida to yelp and move back and fire in retaliation. Silvia dodged and continued the fight of training. "Stay focused young one. You become distracted and you will lose." Silvia instructed in her emotionless voice as she worked to get the young woman focused once more as they continued but she was still partly distracted by the power she felt nearing and was confused to why she reconized it. It would be some hours later after a break she'd be moving to return to the holoroom. The land to Syna Gale entered and walked looking around and ahead, feeling the ruby crystal power and following it, ignoring people who whispered and gasped scared seeing a shadow walk through Syna without pain.

Entering the calste area Mida paused and turned looking at the stranger to enter and near. The power she had felt was strong and she stared eyeing him and her eyes widened reconizing him. "You, you are the one with my powers. Give them back to me. Now." Gale ordered watching her shake her head no feeling nervous as he neared and she backed away. She didn't want to attack her own father, moving back quickly and turned to run but he gave chase, only collapsing when one from behind would strike him in the head. When this would happen Mida would stop and turn looking back and slowly near worry on her face hearing him groan minutes later and seeing him slowly open his eyes to look up at her and stare. "Mida? Is that really you?" He asked. Mida nodded softly as he stood, rubbing his head and hugged her.

"I'm glad to see you." He said and she returned the hug, not sure how to feel after he almost attacked her but pushed it off as nothing, hugging him back and burried her face into his chest, not saying a word, just feeling a huge glee at having her father, the man she had not seen in many many years.

Gale shook his head sighing. "It's okay. Don't worry. It's been a very long time since I last saw her." He said and looked over hearing the dark voice. His eyes narrowed coldly upon Victor, glaring at him as he listened. He always hated his father and thus did not care much for Victor since he did look like him. Listening he sighed snorting some as he held his daughter close. "I'm alive so silence to you. The past is done. What vile being puked you back up?" he asked eyeing Victor over some.

Mida sighed glad to have her father back. Looking to Sodain she blinked noticing his lips move some and wondered what he was muttering as she saw Grimlord's movements and wondered what was talking about. "What going on Sodain?" she asked curiously.

Gale looked down to Mida then to Victor then back at Sodain blinking. "Well in relation to crystals it seems mine has found my bloodkin and decided that she is worthy." He said as if it were nothing eyeing Sodain's weapon.
