Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was the next day, Kuro walked quietly throught the woods. If she were to see that man again, he would no longer live. She growled slightly. Then sighing, she resumed her walk.

* Atha appeared in the neon twister of green ribbons of energy, a smirk on her face and her arms crossed over her chest* hello Phia ...how are you? *she grinned more, taunting her*

Ah I see...well then...I have a proposition for you, a deal of sorts....What do you want more then anything right now...in this moment? You want Draeken alive right? *Atha said D's name with a deep loathing disgust, but she was smart she was playing on Phi's grief right now* ...Deal is..I bring him back to life...and you... *she paused* open the gate...

*Atha smirked then bit her index finger, blood rose from the small punctures, she closed her palm and reopened it. Resting in her palm was a golden amulet. A few droplets of Phi's blood fell onto the amulet, mixing with Atha's, the blood of the two slowly dissapeared as the amulet flashed, Atha smirked* Well then...deal sealed...That man will be back soon....*Atha turned the stopped then looked over her shoulder* Oh and Phia...Don't cross me...you might live to regret it, but others...might not be so lucky.... *with that she dissapeared*

~Trisk wandered back into the forest and decided to relax for a bit. He picked a nice tree and hoisted himself up to a comfortable position. Soon, he was asleep.~

*Mal had left the dojo only moments ago, but was already in the woods quite a ways. not many came to this part of the woods. he dodged between thick trees and such in his haste. he hated the idea of someone like Athaele reviving Draeken. he continued to go deeper into the forest though until he suddenly came upon what looked to be a ravine that was made of hard and dark stone for the most part. he looked at it and sighed.*

*Mal sighed again and muttered a few words an ancient Evlen tongue that had been all but forgotten since the destruction of old D's people about twenty thousand years ago. after he muttered these words the ground within the ravine rippled then disappeared. there was the sound of magical and physical traps powering down. once all noise ceased Mal moved forward and into the gaping hole in the earth*

touch anything and i will set off the traps. they may be disarmed at the moment, but there is an emergency button if you will. trust me in that you wont have time to even teleport, fade, or change realms or whatever you may be able to do to get away. the original Draeken made these stashes to last an eternity without being broken into.

*the beginning of the stash was a stone hallway that looked to be neatly cut from the rock without there being any evidence of it having been cut. it looked natural. as they walked deeper into it, small lights would start up along both sides of the ceiling at ten foot intervals. after perhaps a hundred feet the hallway opened upon a pitch black cavern. Mal whispered some more in Elven and suddenly lights sprang up to illuminate the place as if it were day. the room was perhaps the size of the dojo in width and length. in height it was taller than should have been possible. with the height there should have been a large hill above the entrance, but their hadnt been. it was as if the room were built half in the real world and half outside of it. every wall was lined from ceiling to floor with shelves that contained various items that ranged from books to things that no one could possibly place a name to any more. there were perhaps hundreds of other large shelves filling the rooms middle as well. it was between some of these that Mal began walking. soon a table was visible and on it lay the headless body of Draeken.*

here you are...you will need to get the head first. i trust that you have already found out where he used to live?
