Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Too late now, and I will be busy at work tomorrow posting in eBay))

His ears picked up on the scratches and his tired eyes opened slowly. He saw Eris working on something, but he couldn't get up, not as tired as he was. He only watched, his red eyes glowing in the darkness.

Eventually, Syd simply sat on the floor of the hallway close to where she had actually punched the wall. Sliding her back down along the wall, Syd looked up at the ceiling with a sigh. What the hell was she supposed to do now?

((This is sooooo going to push Alaster to the edge, isn't it?))

She scratched a tiny heart shaped symbol with wings around it into the table out of boredom and thought. Hopefully no one will be angry when they see this. Speaking of, where is everyone?

She felt herself shiver again. Something had been disturbed in the space around them, though of what she was not sure. Her psychic skills definitely needed some fine tuning, she was not as advanced with them as she was with the plants. She let out a heavy sigh and stood up, lightly touching the scorch marks on her back that were hidden by the clothes she was wearing. "Maybe..I should go check it out?"

She said wondering about the disturbance.

"Check what out?" The voice was tired, but clear as the eyes int eh shadows rose up, the body attached to them rising to its feet. Slowly stepping from the shadows, the lycan looked to her curiously. "I take it you sense something I could not..."

Indrid approached the area he had seen the noise. "Nothing. It never is.." he said to himself, turning around. Something wasn't right. That must be human intuition.. he thought to himself. He often wondered why Humans never followed it all the time, but he now knew why. His Human side of the brain doubted the intuition. The Logic was much stronger then just a feeling, so he gradually ruled it out. Still, something wasn't right around here.

"Never mind guys, false alarm." he said into his radio, on a channel everyone was always on. He headed back toward the base when a cold drop hit his head. He looked up. It started to rain. He looked down. Rain described his mood perfectly. Indrid headed somberly back to the base.

As she squealed in pain, the pad in his pocket pinged. Indrid was returning, calling a false alarm. This didn't feel right...no, this was wrong...Taking out his pad, he opened it up the comm in it. "Stay out there, Indrid. I'm having Sin put the fortress at alert. You weren't the only one feeling a presence. Eris is feeling it too. If there is something going on out there, my nose will know it once we arrive."

After sending word to Sin, he closed the pad and put it back in his pocket. He was in no shape, but it was an emergency. Envisioning the shadows beneath the fortress, he grabbed Eris' hand. "Stay with me, don't let go. We are are going to jump through shadows." Without even waiting for a word of protest, he puled here back into the shadow.

Shadow jumping, when first experienced, is much like sinking and rising. You feel like you can't breathe, that you are going to drown, only to have your head thrust out in the point of destination. This was no different as both the Nephilim and Cambion came out of the shadows beneath the fortress nearby, the lycan pulling out the young girl before pulling himself out and collapsing on the ground. They weren't far, but having done two distant jumps without much rest, he was in worse shape than before. His breath was short and eyes nearly dialated. He coughed horribly as his body revolted against the strain, but he fought to keep it together.
