Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eclipse had been along again for a while. He had been living with Apollo in the lighthouse they built together, but now Dayht had moved in. With this the male decided to go back home. He didn't want to be in the way or cause darkness for the two. They were just starting out after all. Apollo told him to stay, but he didn't listen.

The darkness fae went back to his home and looked for his love. It looked like she hadn't been home again in a while. Where or when was she this time, he wondered. So, off he went again not liking to wait as Cronous might get upset by that.

Soon Eclipse found himself at the old city gates. He once lived there when all it was was ruins. He liked it there. No one to scare, hurt or make live in darkness. That was until he met Cronous and the faes took it over.

The city appeared to be fixed and opened....well he couldn't go in then. No, that would not be good. Can't find at home now can we? All alone with only me to love you...to bad I don't! The voice inside his head began.

Leave me be...I already have a enough problems without you pestering me. Eclipse said out loud to the voice.

Oh? Is that so? Well, then why don't you let me out for a bit. Then you can just be free of all this nonsense for a while. Apocalypse was happily surprised. Eclipse was having problems and that was always a good way to get what he wanted. Eclipse was weak in his eyes.

No, I won't let you. With that he went running. He wasn't sure to where or why because no matter how far he went or how fast Apocalypse was always with him.

As he ran his eyes teared up. He couldn't help it. The male felt alone again. This was not a good place for him to be. Without seeing what was in front of him Eclipse ran smack into a tree. This dislodged his hand from the staff. As the staff lay next to the fae the fae's chest became dark. The seals that were there to protect others and seal Apocalypse in where now gone and that could only mean one thing...

I'M FREE!

Apocalypse stood up and kicked the staff and ribbon into the bushes. He couldn't touch it, but he still needed to hide it somewhere. If it was found then they would try to get him to take it back...and he was not going to do that this time! Oh, no. This time he was free and he aimed to keep it that way. To the point of lying to someone if they came by.

The male began to walk around in the darkness of the forest. Eclipse, the bumbling fool, had not seen that he walked into the most evil part of the forest. Right smack, literally, into Dragnid. Ah, this place feels right.

Eclipse was in the dark places inside himself. He didn't want to see and so he just went to where it that he couldn't. Almost like being in a deep sleep. It was like this before when he used to take over.

Apocalpyse heard something behind him. Since it was dark in the forest and with his own darkness it would be hard to see him. However, he could see through his own dark with a kind of night vision.

The male fae stood there scanning to see what it was. An animal? A Pae? Or maybe a fae to play with. Yes, he did so love to play with them.

The sound was louder then a little fae so he began to walk the other way. If in fact it was a pae he might not want to meet one just yet. He was barely free and hadn't had time to see the changed the island had made.

Apocalypse heard the voice and stopped. It was HER. That's right that one that He loved so much. Oh, ho this could be some fun maybe. With that he turned and began to walk where he could see Apollo's light orb glowing.

As he did so he began to call out to Cronous. Cronous? Is that you? I'm lost and I lost my staff. But I'm okay. I'm in control. He lied, but he did it very very well. I would be hard for anyone to know the difference. He hoped she would not see the seals were missing or if she did she would just think that Eclipse was free. Oh, idea. I'm free without the staff and seals!

Apocalypse was happy. It had worked. But of course it did. He was so awesome and great that his plans always worked. No one would ever see beyond his 'act'.

The male walked to her with a smile. An elder? Really? Her? Wasn't there more deserving then her? The male had forgotten about that. He then shook his head. No, to keep up the act he would have to be nice and civil. Yes, he had to ooze sweetness like his counterpart did. This would be a challenge.

"Yes, it is wonderful. I'll be able to swim and do other things I couldn't before." He smiled and cocked an eyebrow at her. He did mean something...love making? That's what they called it? Sicking...

The fae walked over to her and held out his hand to touch her hair. It looked pretty...the kind that would hurt if it were to be yanked out of her pretty little head...oh no not yet. This game would last longer if he didn't do that.

Apocalypse did his best not to flinch or grimace at the kiss on his hand. No, that would be a 'tell' and he was not going to have that if he could.

"Apollo and his girl, Dayht, yes that would be nice." He totally ignored the fact was why he left his staff. It was best left unsaid and if she pushed him to answer it again he'd think of a good lie by then. "Let's go find them."

Ah, yes the annoying yellow light making son and his odd annoying girlfriend. Yes, it would be fun to play with them too. The fae began to walk towards the exit of Dragnid. He knew they would be in the lighthouse that Eclipse had help built.

Apocalypse stood there waiting for a moment before he got bored. Eh...this is boring., he thought as he looked up at the sky. Ah, yes maybe he needed something fun to do.

As the male looked to the sky he was able to cause a solar eclipse. Yes, he hadn't done one in sooo long. What was the point of Eclipse having this power anyway? He never used it.

"Ah, it's it's pretty." The fae said as he looked over at the elder. He did his best to look at her with 'love', but his eyes were always more cold when He had taken over. They were the one place he couldn't' hid or lie about. His eyes showed all. "Almost like you."

***

Apollo was not home. He was off at the HQ's lighthouse reading up on things. His love and her power for one. But then in the window he saw it. An eclipse. As far as he had known there wasn't one meant for that day. Could that mean what he though it did?

The light fae threw the book down and rand for the outside of the HQ. He looked up at the eclipse, best he could, before wondering where to look.

Apocalypse just looked at her for a moment. Not a flinch not a word. He just looked at her with his cold eyes. Soon a cruel smile fell upon his lips. With that smile he snapped his fingers and the eclipse was done. The sun shone brightly like nothing had happened.

The male fae walked closer to her. "Ah, well the game has ended. But does that mean we can't have a little more fun." He raised an eyebrow at her and continued with his smile. He knew she had the staff and would attempt to get him to hold it, but he wouldn't without a fight.

Apocalypse stood there close to Cronous no longer saying a word. He would let her speak first. Yes, and then he would figure out what his next move would be.
