Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rae was still shaken up from what she witnessed happen. She barely heard what Lord Toleranth had said, just standing there. Her eyes were closed as she played back the events. None of this had to do with her. She sighed silently, her legs giving in. Now she was seated on the floor, on her knees. She didn't really care that she was on the floor. Before all of this, my life had been normal, and pretty much boring...I liked it that way...I never complained... Moving hair strands behind her ears, she looked up at everyone there. From where she was, she was farther away from everyone, the wall close behind her. I suppose it comes with being an advisor to the Queen. Finally, she regained her senses and stood slowly, brushing herself off and standing there, very still, almost like she was not real.

((Woot! I think this is my longest post yet! ...How sad... sweatdrop ))

Shrinking into a reasonably unoccupied corner, Shavas let out a long breath. Furious with herself for being so incompetant and losing valuable time. Vermillion's powerful illusions left her mind rattled, and his sudden death was nothing less than shocking.

With everything that had just occured, she had barely noted the fact that the Lord Toleranth was standing in this very chamber. The Lord Toleranth that was supposed to have died.

Hearing Laos's voice once again had stirred up dark memories, memories of bodies littering the ground like piles of leaves. And her own racous laughter echoing above the screaming, and sobbing of innocent people fleeing for their lives in her wake.


Silent tears trailed down her cheeks.
The shock of Vermillion's death left her reeling. Lord Toleranth had returned. That much had registered, and was a brief beacon of hope through her veil of despair over the loss of a friend.

Shavas had retreated to a shadowy corner where she sat.
Nadira followed after a moments hesitation.
There was a creak of leather as Shavas shifted over to make room, but otherwise the woman remained silent.
Shavas's attire still seemed strange to the sheltered young woman, who had lived her life far from the looming shadows of the infamous mage towers. The sorceress was clothed from head to toe in black leather that fit like a glove, and odd colors undulated across two wing shaped protrusions on her shoulder blades, and across her pleated coattails.
Golden eyes glared down at her thoughtless scrutiny.
The whole affect was rather intimidating.

Shavas looked to be in her late twenties at most, and yet she was a mother and head of the black mage tower that hadn't been seen even once since her death.

Idly, she wondered if the old war had been as bad as this one was turning out to be.

Rae turned her head to look at the three, then scanned the room. She felt more like a child than she had ever before in her entire life. So naive. So incompetant. Se could do nothing. Worthlessness settled in, but on the outside, Rae looked the same; strong and secure. She listened to what was being said, trying to put pieces together, which, overall, was her best quality.

Kanashi glanced around, not really sure what had just happened. He held a short knife in his hand that he must have pulled out at some time during the fight, but he couldn't remember when. He had never faced a full-fledged demon before, nor had he seen someone of such high caliber do battle. He quickly resheathed the short blade and looked around at the others, running his hand through his hair. He had had a headache ever since that force had shaken the throne room, it seemed to be intensifying at the slightest disturbances...not that Laos taking control of the world and Vermillion creating an epic battle were slight...

(OOC: I'll post tomarrow, sorry I had loads of homework to work on and a project to finish up. Feel free to drag Shavas, and Nadira Around Toleranth and Spoof I know Tolly-sama wanted to get to the dragons tear part.)

(i'll wait for you Faith, it would be no fun if I did it for you.)

Toleranth chuckled a bit; "Sounds like him, but that was for your protection. You were safer in ingnorance, rather then the truth, because you might have stopped him knowing to much. The amount of energy required to destroy the collar of Loas is almost that of his life. So When Vermillion broke that collar, he knew his life was over, but noble deaths are rare. When vermillion came to work for me, it was shortly after Loas's demise, I set the task of clearing up the details of that time period to him, and I have no doubt your name came across once or twice. Obviously you were dead, i read the report myself, but you could only imagine his surprise when he faced you at Houka Palace."

Tolly sat down in front of Shavas.

"Truth fo the matter is, that mark is the mark of a companion, He merely supressed the mental connection so you wouldn't notice. Now being a companion entitles you to the abilites of each, a sign of this event taking place is a small blue flame burning to the side of the space occupided by both. However the pretext is boring, however how this affects you is his death being noble, and that entitles you to a wish on his soul."

A wish on a dragons soul is boundless except by three wishes. You cannot make someone die, you cannot bring someone to life, and you cannot wish yourself divinity. I'm leaving the choice to you, but when your ready to make it. Simply touch that mark and make it."

Tolly stood back up; "If you need anymore help I'll be down at the temple figuring out my next move. just follow the path down."

Tolly started downt he path leaving them where they sat to chase the ghosts away that plagued them
