Welcome to Gaia! ::

It seemed to take longer getting out of the asylum's territory, through the paths of the outskirts to where the cave layed near the beach. She was careful to take the paths inwhich there was no bloodspill of the younger kids. Though the scent was throughtout the way there, seeming to trail behind Kiara and herself. When they got to the caves, Envi released Kiara's arm. "Things will be okay." Envi added before turning into the caves, not to far deep in was Edward out cold still, Vlad keeping watch, and James or rather the new James. She gave a slight glare. He didn't save anyone. What happened to Edward would have happened even without the momentary interruption of the cursed human. What he did was just thrown himself in the midst of battle recklessly and he took an effect over something that shouldn't concern him and was not necessary. She sort of felt bad though, he was a lycan now. Lycans still was rough in her hearts despite all lycanthropes she was close to now. He seemed okay. She didn't know how he'd take it but she had to be ready incase he woke up and was hungry. He was a newborn after all. Their hungers were out of their control at times, even an elder could snap if hungry. Which was most of the problems."I've guess the two of them have been pretty stable then. No change, Vlad?"

Xagetta walked with Fang till he reached the Caves, giving him the small details here and there. "Anyway, to answer your question. James was the guy who helped Kiara a while back, but now he got him self into Edwards fight and got bit by Ryu before he died. As for the rest Ill tell you later." That's when he entered the cave, and saw that Envi and Kiara had made it back already. He kept quite as he watched them, figuring it was best to leave them be. He walked to where James was sleeping, whom Vlad had been watching over. "How's he holding up?" A rather dumb question, but it was better then any thing else he could think of.

At the same time, James remained in his dream state, as more visions went through his mind. This time he was deep in the woods, just out side of a cave, from the scent it was a wolf pack cave. James him self was in his human form, standing on 2 legs. From within the cave, came a old gray wolf, but it was big and strong. From the wolf came a voice, it sounded human, and that of a female. Do you know who you are? Its lips never moved, nor did its jaw. It seemed to be speaking through its mind or something. Stunned, James answered the only thing he could. I..I think so. The wolf replied. Do you know what you are? Again James answered. I'm not sure. Whats happening to me? Once more the wolf replied. All will be revealed in time. When that was said, the wolf turned towards the cave, and disappeared in the darkness. In a panic, James called out to it. No..wait!! Soon after he followed, and the dream faded to white.

Just then, the previous dream took its effect on James, waking him almost instantly. His blue wolf eyes shot open, blinked at least twice, after which he bolted to his knees and one of his claw like hands. His body was acting out of instinct from the sudden shock of waking in an unfamiliar place, his eyes and head shot in every direction, taking the layout of the caves in all at once. It was just then he realized he was panting, as a low but shallow growl escaped his throat, instantly he grabbed his neck. That's when he felt the claw like nails as they laid against his flesh, as well as the fur that now covered his body. Then he looked to his hands, then saw the rest of his body, slowly it dawned on him that he was not himself. That's when he caught the scent of Kiara, as well as her wolf self, which instantly made him relax. Somehow the scent made him feel at home, as if he was safe. That's when he noticed Xagetta, who had been standing beside the bed.

"Well I guess that answers my question." This being Xagetta, as he took a step back with his hands in the air. James looked around, and saw the others, most of whom he recognized instantly. Fang and Envi being two of them, as well as Kiara and Edward. Vlad however, he didnt know to well, and so his presence cause him to move back a little. "Where...where am I? My voice!! What's happened to me?!" James' voice had been slightly deepened by the wolf, but you could still tell it was him. It was Xagetta who first answered. "Easy, easy. Your safe. Just calm down, every thing will come to you, if you just relax." James did as Xagetta said, as he relaxed he began to remember what had taken place before he passed out. "Ryu...he bit me while he was in his wolf form." Xagetta nodded in agreement.

"That's right, because Ryu was a descendant of a Lycan elder, your transformation took place almost immediately. Granted I'm not to sure on this, Im hardly a expert on Lycan genetics. Any way, you passed out from the pain. I brought you here to rest. I figured it might be somewhere your wolf self would find familiar." This was true, considering how James had reacted to the scent that flowed through out the caves. Almost immediately James grabbed the spot where Ryu had bit him, but the wound was gone. Healed by his lycan self. Normally any one would panic from the news, but for some realy comfortable with it. "So Im a werewolf now? Well I guess its better then being a strange human, but why cant I change back?" Xagetta didnt have an answer for that, he knew just as much as James did.

Xagetta turned to Fang as if looking for some insight on this. "Care to explain this one?" James soon followed as he turned his head to Fang, as he waited and listened.

Xagetta looked confused, he had thought that firstborn lycans usually change back with the sun, but then again not all lycans were the same. "Well I guess that's about as much detail as your going to get on the subject." He shrugged his shoulders, and moved out of the way as to give James some room. Where as James himself did as Fang instructed, and sat at the edge of the bed. The idea that it was going to be painful did dawn on him, yet the fate of not changing seemed more grim in comparison. He cleared his mind, and thought of his human form. As he did this, he began to feel the well of some sort of power from his chest, he could only assume this was what Fang had been talking about. Surprisingly there seemed to be a great deal of power, but he figured it was probably nothing.

When he had his full human self in his mind, he started to pull that magic from his chest as if flowed through the rest of him. Slowly he felt the bones and muscles shift as his body took form once more. Before long the pain drove poor James to the floor grinding his teeth, as he forced his shift to complete. At last; James laid on his knees and palms in his complete human form. His body ached, but it was worth it to take back his humanity. What remained of it any way. The pain subsided before long after which he pulled him self from the floor back onto the bed. "That's definitely going to need some more practice." James' voice was back to normal, along with the rest of him. His jeans now seemed to fit a little looser, but then again he was a 6ft. half wolf just now. "You know Im surprised you did so well. I hear that most lycans stop half way through the first time because the pain is so intense." This coming from Xagetta, granted it was only hearsay.

"Can't say I blame them." This was James, as he grabbed his shoulder and rotated his arm around in it. It hadn't dawned on him that he was half naked, but who would care? Xagetta looked to Fang and nodded; as to say thank you. "Alright now that that's over with, it wont belong before his wolf self will need to feed. I'll go get some food for him, if Sakura and Takeshio show up, fill them in for me." With that said, he left to hunt.

{{Exit to Outskirts.}}
((Don't worry, James is still here, so go a head and post.))

Envi's face reddened when Fang came, she nearly clentched her teeth together. Her eyes narrowed back to James after Fang's comment, choosing to ignore it right then. WHen James began to be frantic her gun was in her hand and pointed towards him, quietly. She kept it out without saying anything even when he shifted. It was precautious. "You know what James, you are a very stupid guy. When you did that, it didn't change anything but you. Edward would have won no matter what, with or without your help." Envi told him straightforward before speaking to Kiara, without looking away from James. "You don't have to bleed for him... we can find him something else. Lycan blood isnt' even satisifying towards vampires, right?" Envi could care less about Edward right now. She didn't want Kiara to get hurt even more than she already was.

James didnt respond to the gun, simply because he wasn't ready for a fight just yet. Besides, Fang was right, as a new born he had to listen to the present pack leader. "I wouldn't hurt you even if he didnt tell me other wise. Im not that kind of man. But your right, I did feel there was more there then what you said, a lot more. Problem is I didnt know how to separate it, so I just used as much of it as I could." After a while the pain was all but gone, his healing abilities were acting on instinct. But because of the violent shift, the wolf hunger that Xagetta had mentioned started to kick in, forcing a feral growl from his throat. "He better hurry, this is starting to feel weird." He grabbed his stomach and tried to stay still. He knew Envi would take this as a sign of threat.

He thought about what Envi had said, true Edward was a strong vampire, but from the way the bite was made on his shoulders. It was clear that Ryu meant to rip Edward's throat out, taking Edward with him to the grave. Chains may have preset the victor, but sometimes certain people like to defy fate. "Your wrong about Edward's victory, if I hadn't stepped in, Ryu would have tore his throat out. And your wrong about me as well. Who said I did it for him?" He looked to Kiara when he said that, but it was only low enough for Envi and Fang to hear it.

"This is a precaution of a hunter, Fang." Envi stated bluntly. She glanced at Fang as he spoke out of the corner of her eyes. There she didn't object. But it was Kiara's decision. When she heard the growl in his throat, she began to take a step closer, her finger moving on the trigger. Usually she would have taken a shot but she controlled it until it would be necessary. "We'll see what Edward has to say when he wakes up. Either way, you shouldn't have interfered something that definently didn't involve you. This was a battle between Ryu and Edward, something that no one should have been allowed to enter. It goes deeper than just a kiddish spat. It wasn't heroic, just stupid James." Her tone seemed to softened. Maybe there was a part that wished that Ryu did win. After what Edward had done, who knows what worse he had done that they don't know about it. Because what he did wasn't like Edward, it was...much much colder. And maybe she was taking the whole Chains' situation out on him. Maybe both? Envi looked between James and Fang as his orders were given out. Yeah, the pistol wasn't necessary but it felt safer in her hand.

Kiara nodded at Fang and without hesitation stuck her wrist in her mouth. She only hesitated to look at Envi when she said about the blood not tasting good, but she shrugged and did it anyway. A low growl as she let her wolf teeth out just enough to pierce her own flesh. It was so minor anyways, and she would do anything for Edward. Even if he had done many terrible things. She moved the dripped blood to Edward mouth and opened it gently to place her wrist there. “We shouldn’t waste time blaming Envi…what’s done is done.” Kiara said to her sister as she kept her eyes directly on Edward, dropping. There was to much going on in the small confines of this cave right now. “And don’t worry James. Fangs is basically saying stick with us and you’ll be fine. You’re doing good already.” Still her eyes remained on Edward looking for any changes with the blood.
