Welcome to Gaia! ::

Helen wasn't here. Well that wasn't fun. Clara set the gift down in a box that had Helen's stuff in it. She'll find it.

Derrin then mentioned her living with him. It was nice of him to offer, but they had only met for an hour. Though the place was a little dangerous. It would be nice to have her own house, this would be close enough. There was an extra room, and she really didn't have a whole lot of stuff. Maybe it would work out.

"I'll move in with you, we just have to get my stuff." She said with a smile.

Even now, the blurr was still there. His cheeks flushed red when it came in contact with this morph's hand. It was..warm, gentle....a familiar feeling. That ended as soon as he was restrained with his arms behind him. That grip hurt what the hell! Help him find Roy his royal a**.

It didn't help that without Ephraim knowing it, they were slowly moving away from all crowd and the feeling just kept getting worse. Part of him was frightened, Ephraim didn't know why while the other part of him knew what he was expecting.

He didn't know why and he didn't know how. Somehow he just knew. They came to a dead end of the back of some building where nobody bothered to even walk there unless trouble was going on. At the very moment, Ephraim was even more scared as to what might happen. His fears were confirmed when the man had suddenly thrown him against the corner of the wall and held him there. His right hand pulled a little above his shoulder while with the free hand grasped his jawline.

By this point, whether the charm was still in effect or not, Ephraim was scared. Probably more then he had been even when he was fighting the dark god.

At the same time, the prince was hurt. Because of the charm, he couldn't figure out why. He could feel the knot twisting in his stomach, ready to lurch up to his throat at any time. Why did this hurt him more then when he had to bring down Lyon with his own hands? Who exactly was this person if he was able to bring tears to his eyes by that...loving look the morph was giving off.

((...i feel this is too cheesy))

In the name of my Goddess, I shall follow my orders...

To bring forth the love from the heart...

And drive the sadness away.

The Heaven cast its rays under the guise of the sun, letting life grow upon the land. It brought forth the warmth upon those who lived. There was not a single cloud among the blue sky, making it appear as it was the ocean above the living heads. It brought forth the breath of life to those who breathed.

Suddenly, there was a shadow coming forth from the sky under the lighting of the sun. Its silhouette began to form. It had a body of a man and the wings of a bird. Though it wore very little light armor, it brought forth the aura of grace and love. Its wings were pure white like a fresh coat of snow as if it would remain its innocence and purity. Thus, an angel descended from heaven.

Not too far from the manor but away from human's view, Eros descended from his flight. Once landed, he slowly folded his wings as they went underneath his cape and disappeared from view. He observed his destination before him.

He knew what was the problem and who was responsible for the trouble. Now, he was on the mission to find his subordinate and cease her mischief at once. But what was he doing at Fefga's Manor instead of Eryis? He figured this would be the first place to search for Psyche.

The Commander knew full well of his subordinates, whether it was publicly known or private. It was one of his jobs to know their background if working for the Division of Knowledge. Therefore, he knew his cupid's background well... Well, more apparently, his cupid informed him about everything about herself.

Eros remembered during one of Psyche's trainings, she informed him about a promise she made to a spirit named Fefga. She told him about Fefga's description, where she lived, and what was her duty in Learania. So if it was the promise Psyche had made, then Fefga would be the first person the cupid would visit.

Eros walked toward the manor, wondering if the spirit of the manor was still here. As he walked closer, he saw two figures in front of the manor, one who was doing laundry and the other sitting down. Remembering what Psyche informed him, she told him that her friend sometimes mingled with those living in the manor. Could they be those who lived there? There was only one way to find out.

He continued walking toward the duo, his left hand rested on the hilt of his sword. Though his sword could not shed the blood and he had nothing to fear from these two beings, one could never know when to be cautious to use for defense. As he walked, he sensed a familiar power. It was the love spell he sensed. A spell directly from one of the duo. When was this being shot? He did not know, but he would deal with that later. Right now, he had some information he needed to seek.

Making his presence known to the duo, he stood and observed them. One was a yellow-haired General and the other was the Hawk King. He recognized the description. They must be Amelia and Tibarn. He remembered he had assigned one of his subordinate to match these pairs to their destined partners. It was written in the scroll his Goddess had.

When he was able to have their attention, he looked at the first person who asked him and said, "... The spirit of this manor. Is she here?"





But if the heart cries out for help...

Canas caught up to the running Mel and said in a n even tone as he leapt out and caught her around her waist. "Let him go. If he wants to be alone then let him. Think more of your own safety woman! If you are to be harmed I do not know what I would do!" He was getting tired of chasing her, but what else could he do. Either way he knew this wouldn't end well. But in the end if she was safe, and if he was the one to die for saving her, his life was worth something.

In the name of my Goddess, I shall follow my orders...

To bring forth the love from the heart...

And drive the sadness away.

The spirit of the manor had been defeated? Then that would mean that Psyche hadn't came to this place. If she did, she would have surely ran to him whenever something terrible brewed. She always did so during her training. Somehow he was not surprised of his subordinate's naivety. Psyche had never paid attention to her surroundings well when her mind was focus on one thing.

Since the spirit was no longer here, he had no time to idle. But before he departed, he heard the Hawk King questioning him.

"..."

Should he reply back when he had other business to complete? He had nothing to seek from these two for more information. What they informed him was enough to tell him that Psyche wasn't there.

Eros turned his head to looked back at the Hawk King. He could sense that the laguz was powerful. But there was something else looming around him too. It must be the love spell he sensed earlier. So Tibarn was the one who had been shot. And if the Hawk King hadn't seen anyone but Amelia, then this would be a problem. So far, there wasn't any trouble cause between the two. However, he had to eliminate that spell immediately before trouble would.

The cupid marched toward Tibarn closer, enough for him to have a range distance. His eyes still didn't left the Hawk King's view from sight.

"... Just a traveler who comes by to see this place. I have heard stories about a spirit living in this manor and I want to know if the stories are true." Eros replied. Though his reply was partially true, it wasn't even partially lie either. He had to be careful with his words toward these beings. He didn't want them to know that he, like Fefga, was a spirit.

"... You have a smudge on your jacket, sir." Eros commented as he jabbed his sheathed sword at the Hawk King's jacket over the heart. The smudge magically appeared when he tapped his sheath onto the jacket. Although the way Eros made when he commented was a bit rude, no one liked to be poked with weapons, it was the only excuse for him to perform his duty.

He wasn't being nicknamed The Liberator for nothing. Though his job was to cast love upon the couple, he did more than that. He freed the hearts of the lovers to express their feelings toward the people they were destined to love. He had chosen carefully of where and when to shoot so that one couple could be together. Not like the mistakes Psyche had caused. For his award of serving the Goddess and performing his duty so well, the Goddess gave him the sword which cut the love spell in case something went wrong. He had never used his sword ever since until now. Did the Goddess know what would happen in the future? Maybe that was the reason he had the sword that had the opposite power to his main weapon.

Now sensing that he had freed the man from the love spell, Eros turned around and walked before the Hawk King would say ill words toward him. He had no time to quarrel with him. There was still the problem in Eyris.

Once he was far from the eye's view, he unfolded his wings and flew off, heading back toward Eyris. He hoped his subordinate didn't cause any further.

Meanwhile in Eryis, Psyche performed another great (disaster) love of making another couple in love: a man and a mannequin. It was too bad the cupid didn't seen the mannequin from behind the man's back or else she wouldn't shot him. Oh well, it looked like the man had his very own sex toy to play with.

As she trounced down the street, waving her arms in merry way, she happened to hear a noise. She stopped and turned around. The cupid saw two dogs growling at each other, ready to fight. Psyche let out a frown.

"That's not how you show your friendship! You need to stop it right now!" Psyche nagged at the dogs. Again, the beings in Eyris were still unable to hear or see her. Seeing that the dogs weren't respond to her, Psyche humped her chest. She was not pleased at all.

"Okay then, you've asked for it!" Psyche growled as she reached her hand to the headdress and pulled out a small purple sack. She opened the sack and pulled out a small, white pearl orb. "With this ORB OF FRIENDSHIP, I will make you be all friends again!"

Before Psyche could do anything, a cat strolled passed the dogs. This made the dogs stopped their fighting and chased after the cat.

"Hey! Come back here!" Psyche shouted as she chased the dogs. It was no good. Those dogs were going too fast for her. Only one way for her to do.

Psyche threw the orb at the dogs. The dogs were moving too fast, causing her to miss it. As the orb crashed, it let out a scent of sweet and breeze-like. The customers who were near it smelled it. They then became more friendlier than they usually were before and hugged each other as if they were friends despite that they barely knew or met.

Furious that she missed, Psyche pulled out another orb and continue to chase the dogs. One after another, she continued to miss. Oh! Why couldn't these dogs sit still for her? It was so frustratinig.

The cupid threw another orb and missed as it crashed near a mad crowd. Psyche ran passed the angry mob as she continued chasing the dogs.

"DON'T MAKE ME PULL OUT MY LOVE ARROWS!"

The mage just stared blankly at Abel. What in the world did he do to deserve something like this? The only time he heard of or could think of having a mob ganging up against the person is if the person did something completely horrible. . . . Did Alihi know about this?

No doubt. She know a lot. . . . He thought to himself, biting down on his bottom lip subtly. His curiosity was running wild, but apparently he wasn't going to find out anything else about the situation; after all, Abel seemed to be avoiding the question completely and--

"I don't want you to get hurt because of me. ...I care about you too much."

. . . Huh? Akihi, to put it bluntly, was very, very confused. The comment came out of nowhere, and Abel was blushing as he said it. This was a detail that Akihi wouldn't have noticed on most occasions, but it jumped out to him this time and made him think a bit. Normally, he would have simply written it off as simply a part of being Abel's love interest's brother, but this time . . . it was just weird and--

"AAHHHH!!"

. . . You know those days where you just wish that you didn't crawl out of bed at all? Well, this was rapidly becoming one of those days for Akihi. The purple-robed mage followed behind Abel as they ran away from the mob that had a very sudden mood-swing, now more confused than before.

Canas got off and let her go. His face one of a serious composure. "First is already done. Second is that I dont care, and Three, quite litterally is no. There is a reason to all this. Th reason is hidden. and I wil not allow that reason to be unfound! I ccannot explain the feelings I have for you, especially since you punched me in the face and tried to set me ablaze. but this feeling is a feeling and I will not deny it. I think that I love you," He said bluntly.
