{sorry it took me so long to post. My computer crashed, and we're currently getting it fixed. Hopefully it will be done sometime this week, so it could be a few days before I post again. sweatdrop }
Chase was used to walking through the crowds and going unoticed, like a distant memory, she had afterall done it hundreds of times before. Though the dragon was concerned with the people she wanted to find a shop before the wound in her side began to seep onto her shirt and stain it. Eventually she found a small shop, not exactly what she had expected, but would do, to suit her need.
Taking little time she entered the shop and came back out with the supplies she needed. Now her next concern was to find a tavern, there she could not only dress her wound in the restroom, but also find out about this silly war as well. So back into the crowd she headed giving a glance towards the roof tops at Taras before moving her eyes along the shops to find a bar that she at the moment desired.

Maki continued staring down at the city and humming an old song from a memory and waited. She knew Zetsuei would move the ship soon and she knew they couldn't hover for very much longer.
She still couldn't get the sadness of Katrea out of her mind. He was her friend at one time, they fought a dragon together as well as a horde of lizardmen ... and now it was as if nothing ever happened. She wasn't sure if its sadness she felt or anger ... all she can do to calm down is stare at the city and hum a song from her memories.

taras walked over the roof tops and followed chase. she walked about and found a bar and begin to walk in. taras looked down the alleyway and saw a sheet of rag cloth. he jumped down and pulled it over his head before walking into the bar behind chase.
"chase, your going to dress your wounds right. i am going to get some water."
taras walked around her to the bar and requested his drink.

katrea looked out to the ocean as the boat sped along the mist continent moving away from them slowly. he listened to risa and heard her ask about the wrappings over his body, he looked at his arm.
"oh this is from a long time ago, but as the old scars healed new ones came to my skin. it is what men have to live with in a world of monsters."
katrea eye looked deeply to the turquoise water. he went silent, the shore of the island came in close now.

"men arnt the only ones who must live with that night katrea. i have scars to"
she looked out seeing the island and what awaited her at the training ground. it would be hard to train under someone especially as she didn't fully trust these nights but it was worth it and it may teach her a thing or two about these new allys.
"looks like we are almost there yarshea"

Maki sighed as she stood up straight and slowly walked into the control room where Zetsuei had been preparing for their departure. She slowly looked around in hopes Shinja would appear as he normally did. As she stood in front of the door, she took a quick glance behind her hoping to see him there and went inside.
"I'm .... i'm ready Zetsuei," she said. "Where should we go first?"

"The city of Machina... we should be able to find some information there to gain leads to find Andreas and how this war got started and to possibly prevent it."
Pressing buttons the engines began to fire up and the door behind Maki closed as the ship began to gain altitude.

Maki smiled and found her way to her chair.
"City of Machima ... the last time we were there was to find Katrea's childhood friend ... last time i was there I was being pursued by the science guild," she said frowning as old memories began to surface. "I don't like this at all to be honest. But we must get to the bottom of this war."

"Maki, I can go on my own and you can stay here to help Avardia if you wish. I dont want you to be sought after again by the science guild. I can leave the ship here and fly there if need be"
Pausing the ship the engines quieted down as the airship hovered.

"No .. I'll just be in the way here," she said. She didn't want to be in Avardia at the moment. The events of that brought her there were to painful to remember and she didn't want to see Katrea at this time. "I don't think they'll remember me since they never watched me grow up so how could they figure out who I am."
She looked up at Zetsuei with a stern look.
"I want to help but I don't want to fight in some war," she said. "We had our war ... the battle against Darktail. I can't stay in Avardia and watch those young men and women prepare to fight. I want to help avoid the war if possible. There's got to be some explanation to this and there has to be a way to prevent it ... If its the dark orb manifesting itself elsewhere then that is our battle. The battle with the dark orb. A war between two countries ... I ... I don't want to pick sides. Fighting the darkness was one thing. It did not matter where my sword when then. But ... to embed my sword into another human and slicing their flesh over the sake of territory or monetary gain ... is not a war I want to fight."

Chase glanced at Taras as he headed over to the bar before she walked into the restroom and locked the door behind her. She walked and stood in front of the mirror placing the bag with the bandage in it on the counter next to the sink before she proceeded to remove her coat and shirt. The old bandage that was wrapped around the wound now was stained a purple-red color. The stain it’s self looked sickening enough so it wasn’t any surprise to see the wound looked worse when she unraveled the bandaged from her waist.
Reaching into the bag Chase quickly pulled out a rag as the purple ooze mixed with her blood boiled out of the wound the moment the bandage was removed. Slightly she sneered seeing the raw flesh that had yet to heal from Dark Tail’s claws digging into her a little more than a year ago. Some of the skin around her wound were scaly from her dragon form where it had lost the ability to form into the tan human skin. Slowly and painfully she pushed the cloth over her wound making wound seep even more. She only managed to slow the oozing with this action as she pulled the cloth away from it and pulled an antiseptic ointment from the bag. Slowly and carefully she rubbed the ointment into her wound letting it seep in.
Staring at the wound for a moment or two before she washed her hands and she grabbed the new bandage out of the bag, she only shook her head and muttered, “What’s the point? I’ll soon bleed to death if this think keeps up like this.” She stretched the fabric bandage out letting it unstuffy before she began to wrap it around her waist and the wound. “I probably have part of that damn orb growing inside of me, and it’s only gotten bigger and more painful the more time passes,” She stated to herself as she secured the bandage and began to clean up. “I might as well be shot and put down like a mangy dog,” She said as she reached for her shirt and pulled it down over her head. She threw the bag in the trash near the door before dawning her coat and heading out to the bar.
Out in the tavern, Chase found where Taras sat and sat down herself next to him. Slightly she scanned over the people around them as she waited for the bar tender to come around. “Half of the people in here are drunk,” She said, “We’re better off asking the bar tender about the war, they usually have the best information about their town anyway.”

Forcing a smile Maki looked up at Zetsuei from her chair and nodded as she replied, "I'm ready let's get out of here."

Flipping switches and pressing buttons the engines roared back with life as the ship began to take off towards the ocean.
"We will do all we can Maki."

Maki smiled knowing Zetsuei spoke from the heart.
"Just ... don't leave me alone with any science-types okay? I still don't remember half of what happened then and I don't want anyone to remember who I am," she said slowly closing her eyes and listening to the engines. "Maybe Shinja will catch up with us there."
