Welcome to Gaia! ::

After the training session, Grave returned to be checked on. Applying different chemicals, Rav had been working on a way to make Grave quicker with his arms. If this would prove successful, the juggernaut would be able to keep his aim on quick and nimble foes. Shadowstep was showin to be the perfect sparring partner for these tests.
"Have I atoned for my sin?"
Shadowstep sat in his chambers, reading a book endowed with ancient symbols. He had been studying the arcane arts, learning of a sacred realm of punishment. It was a place called "Limbo", a place said to tear deep into one's soul and force excruciating pain upon the punished. "Soon..."

"No, I should be....i wasn't there to protect them...it's....ancient history." said Ryuho as he quickly changed the word and and started climbing with the rest of them after applying a set of talismans onto his hands and feet and began rapidly climbing faster then the rest as if he were some sort of spider clinging to it as if it were the floor.

"Don't blame yourself for whatever had happened" whispered kitsuna. She didn't continue any further. The spirit that was folowing her clung closer to her She sighed and sent a mental mesage to ryuho. "The children here don't blame you."

Kitsuna woke up a while later. She created a small ball of light in the palm of her and started to read a book she brought with her

Slightly awoken by the light from the sun beams going through small holes in the earth, ryuho streatched and walked over to strengthen his legs as he walked over to where Shadow was sitting alone. Asking to see if he could sit by her, he knew something was on her mind. Something troubling her. "Mind to tell me what it is troubling you, Shade?" asked Ryuho.

Kitsuna put her book away and stared down the darkened stairs. she stared at a group of pyro flies fluttering about. One of them, a bright blue one, came up to and stretching her arm out, it landed to rest on he hand, glowing. "Never seen a blue one before." she whispered to herself. "usually you guys are red. you guys must be one of the only living things remaing of this place. I can relate, losing everything and everyone you cared for." she whispered sadly. The pyrofly flew out of her hand and flew up the staircase. Kitsuna and covered her face in her hands, trying not to cry and remember painful memories.

Kitsuna sighed and continued walking. "how much further ryu?"

"Well about half a day of climbing and we'll be at the front door, but I think this will be much easier, it's just more work on my part." said Ryuho as he left go of the rock in front of him, Kitsuna thinking he was going to fall but actually was standing firmly as if it was a floor to him. "Greatest thing about talismans, takes out the guest work right out." he said as he grabbed Kitsuna and Shadow and carried them over his shoulders. "Alright you girls ready to go fast. Just don't look down-k?" said Ryuho as he tapped the front of his boots on the rock and began running up the wall at fast speeds reaching the top in just ten minutes. Placing the girls in front of the main door and running down the wall to grab the others and grabbing the girl from the Zodiac Society and Isamu, who was rather heavy then he expected. "Boy I sure I don't trip on the way up. Hey Isamu is I drop something, I'll blame it on you for not holding on too tight." laughed Ryuho as he then began his dash up the wall, carrying them both. Finally making it to the top, but almost dropping Isamu due to he was off balance, but caught him by placing more spiritual pressure on his feet in slamming him into the ground in front of him. "Well thank you for all waiting here, now we can surely rest once we get inside. sweatdrop " said Ryuho as they walked inside the dark hallway of the empty palace.
