Currently situated on great pillars of earth and metal a Palace of gargantuan proportions sits just above the Razor Fields. Heavy damage has marred the once beautiful city and sections have fallen away entirely. The Palace is complete with everything a city, or possibly a small country, would need. The Palace is highly ordered and everything is marked out into sections, large square areas, with some open squares for nearly any possible usage. The Titan hierarchy is well maintained, headed up by a ruler that names himself Neotian, his true name unknown. Underground the workings of the means to keep the Palace aloft work contantly, though are currently under repair. The basics involve flooding caverns in the rock with ultralight gasses and slight magical enchantments aside from that. Beyond that the City seems very advanced in the terms of Arcane knowledge. Though the city is highly ordered and law oriented, extreme segregation is clearly evident as Half-Titans are nothing but sevants, and those with less than half Titan blood are considdered even lower, except for certain special guests. Quote:  A titan is about 25 feet tall and weighs about 14,000 pounds. Titans speak Abyssal, Common, Celestial, Draconic, and Giant. Spell-Like Abilities: At will-chain lightning, charm monster, cure critical wounds, fire storm, greater dispel magic, hold monster, invisibility, invisibility purge, levitate, persistent image, polymorph (humanoid forms only, duration 1 hour); 3/day-etherealness, word of chaos, summon nature's ally IX; 1/day-gate, maze, meteor swarm. In addition: At will-daylight, holy smite, remove curse; 1/day-greater restoration. Titan's specialized in spellcasting have magic that borders Epic, but they can open no Seeds. Neotian has access to Two Epic Seeds, Reveal and Transmutation. Limonias has access to the Heal Seed.

Vincent looked up to the one approaching him. "I'll walk, thanks. Just lead the way." He smiled, motioning the Titan to lead, nodding to him. "And would one of you happen to know what's going on?"

*Sitting perched on the half blood's shoulder.. Kalie rested her chin her hands, while blanking watching the graceful yet masculine architecture of the palace pass her eyes, in between stealing glances..or at least attempting to steal a few from across the servant's chest to where Torment was being held.*

The attendant carrying Tor and Kalie passed a large statue of the Royal Titan they had spoken with before, he was holding a skull and pointing a gladius towards the sky. In moments they arrived in a alrge clean room with several Titans laying injured on beds with medical staff of Titans attending to them. The attendant that had brought them put them down on a bed and left without saying a word. The head physician noticed them and at first seemed to boil with rage that those without Titan blood were allowed in his infirmary, but then remembered the King's mention of them, gliding over to them and bowing. His voice was similar to the king's, but mostly only due to their great size, "I can assure you we will do our best to get him back on his feet in the shortest time possible. have you any injuries madam?"
~~~
The attendant leading Vince only gave him a cold "No" at the question and said nothing else. He didn't even look away from his path as he led Vince to the Lab, passing a similar statue that Tor and Kalie had seen.

"No..I don't think it's a physical aliment.. " *frowning Kalie shook her head, still remembering what he had first said to her..when she had considered the words to be nothing more then lies.* "just try to help him..."
*Starting to stand..well sort of..the springiness of the bed causing her to wobble back and forth, till she abruptly gave up and landed with several small bounces on the mattress. Deciding it may be better to scoot closer to Torment's side instead..*

The Titan looked down and Kalie for a moment before snapping his fingers. Two Titan Nurses came running over and he gave them orders, "I want one of you to run a full spectrum magical analysis on this woman, and the other I want to have the man taken to Recharging." The two quickly nodded and the bed split in half, moving Kalie and Torment apart to sit at the center of their own smaller section of bed. The two nurses rolled the two in opposite directions.
When Torment arrived in Recharging, he was quickly hooked up to several devices and machines, small crystals placed at key points on his body to help channel energies. The process began and slowly both Torment's magical energies, as well as spirit would slowly be replenished.
As for Kalie, the tests wouldn't take more than ten minutes after she arrived in the Lab, completely non-invasive, merely a passive scan with a device seemingly made up of many small crystals and focusing elements.

*Falling back on the bed with a submissive thump, Kalie tried to remain still and cooperative during the analysis. Fighting her curiosity to touch the devices the nurses carried and handed over between one another. The crystal counterparts to the rods coming to life in a vibrant spectrum..the colors taking on darker shades here and there as they flowed over her body only inches above.*
*All very empty in meaning to Kalie, not that she didn't have a faint idea of what was wrong, but not to the Titan who stood off to the side furiously scribbling notes across her clipboard between peaking over the edge at the tiny patient and the similar reactions portraying on the other nurses.*
*As the pen tucked under the top of the clipboard with a snap, Kalie strained her neck to look up in the titan's direction, but not soon enough, as her bed came to life and started rolling back down the hall to the infirmary room where she started..the small jolt of it stopping again, causing her to sit up in time to see the notes passed on to the head 'doctor', giving a detailed description of a deep red 'light' with a strong magical residue, that had entangled itself in the women's mind, twisting her memories to the caster's will.*

Due to the high capacity nature of Torment's being, coupled with the enlarged nature of the recharging devices, meant for beings much larger and just as powerful as himself, Torment began to recharge quickly. While his magical abilities were left in a weakened state, his body and soul were returned to their full vigor.
He was quickly returned to the Infirmary with Kalie and their beds rejoined. He was still laying motionless, but was very much alive and no longer stuck in a comatose state, merely in a light sleep. The head doctor returned and tried to speak softly, "You can wake him, but I think we'll need to have a talk...."

*Hesitating, her hand strayed only close enough to lightly brush his cheek, to afraid of stirring him from sleep or to take her eyes away from Torment, she instead spoke as softly as possible to the doctor.* "With him.. or with me?"

The Titan Doctor let out a brief sigh that created a warm gust of wind over the bed. As he spoke he looked over the test results again, "Well, I'd think it's up to you, but without knowing the....recent events...yes, the recent event in your life, I'm not quite sure I can pass judgement. Though I would ask if you consciously know of any sort of spell cast upon you recently."

*Turning away from Torment, her fingers still idly weaving in and out of his hair, Kalie furrowed her brows in thought, trying to remember. With a soft sigh, she shook her head drawing a blank, all she had were words.. from either side during fight.*
"I..I don't remember one.. so I guess no..?"

The Titan nodded in thought for a moment before looking up at Kalie once more, "I think it would be best if you woke him up. I have a feeling he'd want to be awake to defend his position on this." He motioned to two Titans of a larger build that wore simple white uniforms, they were orderlies. The Doctor looked back to Kalie as they approached, "Whenever you like, if you would."

"Okay.." *Gazing up at the Titians, she felt like a child as she listened to the Doctor's wishes. Setting her hand on Torment's shoulder, Kalie gently nudged him, aiming to wake him in the calmest way possible, she had preferred to not wake him at all.. let alone the possibility of startling him. *
"Tor..Torment..Torment..."

Slowly Tor started to emerge from his slumber, a slight smile forming on his face until he opens his eyes and realized where he is, scooting back and away from both the Titans and Kalie. Hell, for all he knew this could be Soulscour's work.
The orderlies stepped forward and one of them stopped Tor from going too far, trying to calm him, "Sir, please be calm, you are a guest of Neotian, our ruler. You are in the infirmary after your taxing efforts to keep our Palace from meeting utter destruction." He pulled away and the Doctor nodded to Kalie to have her calm him down a bit.

*Crawling across the bed after him, she stopped, and sat back on her thighs, trying to give him a convincing smile of sorts.*
"They do not lie.. you're their guest, their leader healed you on fields and brought you here.. the doctors.. " *gazing around the room..she nodded to each in turn, before looking back to Torment* "restored you..and asked I wake you.. for your position?"
*Seeming a little confused, Kalie looked to the head of the infirmary for a better explanation of what they wished of the man in front of her..*
