Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yume and Natsu put Pander in his bed. They were safe now. No harm would come to them for the time being. Yume took off his glasses, his gloves, his jacket, and his boots. Sleep, Pander. You need it. She kissed him lightly on his lips and went outside where Dirge and Natsu were. Dirge, want to play tea party? Dirge growled slightly at the little girl. She just smiled evilly and took out some extremely long strings of plastic beads and some hats. So, Mrs. Dirge, what kind of tea do you like?

Dirge jumped back, a low growl forming in his throat. If you listened closely enough, a growl could be heard from Pander's room aswell. He was still in a deep unconsious state but he growled none the less.

I am not your new toy Natsu. I'm and evil creature who snatches children in the night and eats them whole. I'm the thing that kept you up at nights when you were living in the village. I was that presence of your brother that you felt.

Natsu became scared, dropping the beads and hats to the floor. Dirge's armour shone in the lamp light. It hed become invissable while they were listening to Jangen but with Natsu on the offense, Dirge desided to show his wares.

"If you want me too, I can deal with the two guys out here whilst you have a little reuion with your sister," Evil says quietly to Riashi, walking into the clearing behind her. "There is something I need to do first. Instead of taking back the energy of thebook that the other part of you stole, I beleave that I can copy it and copy the inate energy of the book's knowledge that I absorbed so we can both use it's powers."

Riashi shrugged uncaringly. She would rather spend her time taking care of the mutt and Kira. A small smile appeared but she kept her eyes empty of any emotion. "No... For now I will remain here. I would not wish to disappoint the child." Her eyes went to Noir in anticipation. She didn't need her magic to take care of this nuisance. She spoke to him this time. "How do you know that I will not simply lie to you and use my magic in the end? You cannot control it boy."

Nemia growled softly, but she remained at the front of the cave, letting Cadmus pass by. "Don't you dare harm her." Her demand was loud enough for him to hear. Then her eyes went to Evil. "Don't think you're going to get away Evil. I plan to tear you limb from limb." She didn't care if he couldn't understand her. She meant death.

Kira thrashed against the wall as the heat consumed her farther. If only she could get Riashi in the cave and within reach of her own magic. She couldn't reach out farther than the entrance of the cave. The tears fell continuously down her cheeks in a torrent. The pain was too intense. "Good!" The name was forced from her in her agony. She needed the compatibility to her own magic. Suddenly, her senses went off as the pain died for a moment. Her voice was hoarse as she whispered. "Cadmus..." Another jolt of pain raced through her and she arched back as another scream was forced from her throat.

Riashi snorted slightly at this. "Evil dear, if you haven't noticed, your precious door has been shattered by my loving sister. You need to better attune your senses if you cannot sense it."

Nemia growled lower, moving so that she was between Evil and the mouth of the cave. "You're not going anywhere mister." She would only use her magic as a last minute thing. She also knew that Riana was on their side.

Yume let the information sink in. Van Lunatik...I've heard it somewhere...from...my family...i think. Yume sat at the table and put a hand to her forehead. I think I heard it from one of my brothers' books. I forget what it was about, but...I think it was a diary of my late fathers'. He was friends with the Van Lunatiks I believe... Yume laughed slightly at the irony of her life. She and Pander seemed to be connected in everything.

Yume walked to Pander, wiping his tears away with her hands. Natsu cautiously patted Dirge, less afraid of him now. You said that the Van Lunatik blood runs wildly, right? Then if so, that explains many things to me. She remembered the portrait in her mothers' room. She probably went off with some man after father passed and had kids. But, who were they?
