Welcome to Gaia! ::

Brianna looked absolutely horrified as he explained all this. Her dreams were how she stayed connected to her brother, whom she hasn't seen in many years. But, whether she was horrified at the eye his uncle has or by the fact that she could dream no longer was still kind of unclear to her. Which didn't really make sense to her; she should be scared of the eye. It looked like it came from an evil source. "Wh-where did you get that eye...?" She asked nervously.

Brianna couldn't help but glare at Strider's turned back for whatever reason. She knew that he was one of the original gods, but she still felt angry for him to assume. "Do you know who my brother even is, uncle?" She asked in an angry tone. But, all too soon did she realize the state of mind she was in and calmed down.

"Who was... Is your brother?" Asked a voice behind Brianna. When she turned around, she saw that the vampire was awake. He was looking at her with a raised eyebrow, an inquisitive look on his face.

Brianna sighed a little before she curled her knees to her chest. "My younger brother... Keisuke... He is a shinigami... A god of death..." When the vampire didn't speak, simply widened his eyes, she continued. "My mother, who was part goddess, got raped by a demon. A demon mixed with a part holy deity equaled my brother, a shinigami. He was indeed a god, but due to the demon half, he was not holy like my mother and I. I was close to five years of age when that happened. But instead of ridding of the curse, I convinced my mother to let me keep him. I took care of him, like a loving sister I had hoped to be. He was the sweetest shinigami of a brother I could ever ask for. But, when our village got attacked, we got separated. The troops thought him useful, so, instead of killing him, they took him to the evil god we sought after now." When she was finished explaining, she buried her face into her knees. "We always stayed connected through dreams. But... Now my only connection to my sweet brother is gone..." She soon began to sob, having never told anyone of this causing her to keep it bottled up. She cried softly until her small sobs wracked her frame. The vampire took to rubbing her back in comforting circles. When she felt him close the distance between them, her head fell into his lap as she continued to cry, the vampire now combing his fingers through her hair. Soon, though, her wails decreased until she had cried herself to sleep.

Skollozeir was silent for a bit while they made there way through the hall. "Norie's been a little more temperamental lately." He glanced up at the dark ceiling, speaking calmly and not rushed like he usually did. "You think something happened, 'sides the troop loss?"

Nodding in agreement, Skollozeir stepped on every other step, keeping up with Drezzer. "Her ego's bruised then." He dug his hands into his pockets, a troupe of warriors pushing past in the opposite direction. A gleam came to his bloodshot eyes as an idea came into his head. "Maybe she'll want to go to a village later, to relieve stress?"

"Village first, then Azzie later." Skollozeir said conversationally, whipping out a dagger from his sleeve and plunging it nonchalantly between the shoulder blades of the one who'd bumped Drezzer. He fell upward with a low grunt, the rest of his buddies not noticing. "He's a little on the...'righteous'? side. Too proud if you ask me, Drezzie." It comes with his young status in the world.

((Yah, Strider, but Darkness had a conscious mind near the time Skollozeir was, I guess created, which is a very long time after they were all made. I was going by the age that you originally put for Strider in this RP. =# ))

"An' Lord Desi's always trying to kill them." Skollozeir shrugged and hopped off the stairs, twirling around in place to walk backward. "Two guesses: One, they're trying to restore balance, but balance is already there. Two, they're trying to kill, murder, destroy each other because they're tired of undoing what the other's doing." He turned back around and kicked the door open to the mess hall with a loud bang. "Either way, it goes on!"

Skollozeir gave an innocent look to Drezzer, following after him. He looked around eagerly at the food laid out on the tables. " Eh, gonna be destroyed anyway. Plus they can just make more, like ants."
