Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Of course." Kensho smiled at Katriana before walking ahead. His long, silky kimono flowed gently behind him, swishing with each step.

The king stared out into the horizon upon his stallion. Renon sighed. He already missed his beloved. He had a clear view of the Day Temple, the hill he was on only a walking distance. He wanted, so badly, to go back and retrieve Katriana. But he knew he musn't. It would put her life in danger.

"Madame, what is it?" Kensho looked concerned at Katriana. She was awfully quiet.

Kensho looked at her. "I made an offer." He motioned to a hill just barely visible from the window. On it were two figures: Renon and Yuri.

Renon put his arms around Katriana and hoisted her up so she was on his lap. "She is fine my beloved," he said, pulling his wife into an embrace. "I don't think I can part with you again," he whispered in her ear before placing a kiss on her lips.

"Katriana, I only want what's best for you." Renon stroked her hair as he held her close. His heart pounded. Yuri watched silently.

"But she will not." Renon's voice was stern. His daughter had almost been forced to give birth to the Dark Prince. He would not let her be put in any danger again.

A shadow snuck along the brick wall of the palace. His figure was hidden by a black cloak. He spotted the window of his destination. Mara's window. He looked in to find a boy in there with her. "Easy," the figure muttered. He smiled. With a shatter, he leapt through the window. He pulled down his hood, revealing slick black hair and blood red eyes. "Good day princess," he sneered.

Jon stood in front of Mara. "Not you guys again," he exclaimed. Suddenly, he fell to the floor in a heap in front of mara, unconcious.

The figure smiled. "Now, shall I introduce myself. I am Desu," said the man as he shoved Mara down. He held her arms down with a powerful arm while gagging and tying up her legs. He then roughly flipped Mara over and tied her arms tightly to her back. Desu turned her over again and smiled at her. "You will bear my child," he said. He threw the princess over his shoulder and leapt out the window. To make sure she knew he was serious, Desu dug a sharp nail into her leg, sending a shot of posion into her veins.

((I will send you Desu's profile now. I thought I'd just throw him in. Don't save her yet. I want this to get interesting, ok?!))

"You don't need to worry about Mara. She is under the careful eye of Jon." Renon wrapped his arms around his wife. "Oh my beloved, I will always protect you."

"Good bye my love. If ever you need to see me, simply ask Kensho. He is capable of much." Renon smiled as he spurred his horse. Yuri stayed though. He looked at Katriana, his shaggy blonde hair falling over his eyes. "I'm sorry," was all he said before galloping after his brother."
