Welcome to Gaia! ::

Walking sround," Amazing, i wonder how many wars could have taken place here or how this civilization ended."

Kitsuna continued to follow, lookking about at the ruins. memories still bugging her. "Why does this place remind me of something?" she thought.

Stopping to look at Shadow, "You can hear them too, eh Shade? The cries of the fallen. If you're wondering, these pyrofiles are the reason for the screaming. There actually said to be screams of the dead children and women crying for they're dying men as they were sluaghtered by the enemy before them. Now only to wander in here for here forever, never to find peace, but only to when touched by a warm soul by a guest they can find peace. Though you should feel lucky Shade and Kitsuna, the children seem to like you, you must remind them of their lost mothers that they lost long ago. " said Ryuho with a smile as he turned away and continued to walk toward the entrance gate of the Ruined city, only muttering, "They always love to play with young women...hmm I wonder why?"

"We're here everyone. Welcome to the Palace of The Four Kings." said Ryuho as the walked into the deep ruins of the misty city as Ryuho pointed out toward the ancient palace that lied out into the far distance and high reaches of the mystical ruins as they walked into the central of the city, looking at it's old and lost existence.

"That's the wrong way, Shade....unless you want to fall." said Ryuho as he grabbed her tightly to stop her from following the ghost. Looking down before her she faced a massive ledge down toward the darkness below. "Follow them and you'll fall into darkness like the many that wander here before and become like the child in front of you, joining them until you know what not peace is." said Ryuho as he guided Shade toward back them and toward the palace.

With fluid poise and grace, Shadowstep spun around Grave in the training room. It was a complete reinforced steel room, the same size as a football stadium. "Ahh, yes good now. Faster, you must be faster." Shadowstep had been training Grave for quite some time, working with making the zombie more useful. "Now, Grave, you are already beginning to understand. I believe we can use you. Now prepare yourself."
"Soon my chains will be broken."
Grave had been getting faster, bringing his right Cerberus up to block Shadowstep's wrist blade. At the same time, he lifted his left to Shadowstep's mask and pulled the trigger, sending the man flying back. It seemed the mask was made of such material that could withstand Grave's shells. So they continued training, preparing for the work in line for Grave now.

"Don't be Kitsuna. It was a long time ago. It should be I that should be sorry...." he said as he trailed off as they reached the enormous staircase toward the gigantic palace in front of them. "Start climbing everyone, it's a long way to the top, we'll take a break half way." called out Ryuho as he tried to avoid Kitsuna's question about how he knew the children of this forgotten city.
