Welcome to Gaia! ::

Without looking up Jasper moved his hands upwards and the needles stopped in mid-air and then with a hiss they melted, the small amounts of molten dripped to the floor and quickly cooled. "Glad you could finally join us." he said in a bored tone his ice blue eyes flicking up to the second lizard. "Next time though, if you wish to introduce yourself, try comming through the front door...you'll send my severnts into a panic." At that moment an imp came scrambaling into the throne room about to open his mouth to inform Jasper of the intuder, but before he could jasper waved his hand and the imps mouth was sewn shut. "Too late." he mumbled mostly to himself and with another wave of his hand the Imp was thrown from the throne room and out into the hall way, this one was lucky the last one had become a decoration on his wall.

((those poor, over-abused, underpaid Imps *tear* ))

Jaspers ice blue eyes stared at the metal plating over the creatures eyes, his long fingers rose and fell his claws tapping agaist the carved stone of his throne, he had kept himself at bay at Shivens...request...but his paitance was wearing thin the already grey area around his irisis was beginning to turn black and flood into the blue. "If you wish to use your needles might i request some cloth to be brought up to you room later?" he half joked half hissed the claws on his other hand digging into the stone below them like a hot knife through butter. "Do not forget, i am a King, while around your leader you might not have to show the proper respect, around me i suggest you keep your weapons to yourself or you'll find out quickly what happens to those who end up in my dungeons."

Vestakia looked around herself for the other champions and shrugged. "I saw the dragon go into Grandmothers tent, but he wasn't there when i checked, i wasn't really paying attention trying to get everything packed up, he should be close by, as for the lion i'm not sure, but we can't wait around forever." She said eyeing one of the men as they climbed up on to one of the wolves back, a red one named fang, and began to lead the horse and the wagon off. "Don't worry about Grandmother, she vanishes sometimes, but she'll be back when she feel like it i suppose." Vestakia turned to the elven woman and held her breath, the woman had attracted the attention of the pack leader, Noka's brother Sythe, she was about to let out a warning but held her tougue, Sythe was never very friendly and usually wasn't amoung the caravan, he usually lurked nearby to keep an eye on his pack.

Sythe's intellegent golden eyes narrowed as he stared at the elvish woman, he was a good deal larger then any of the other wolves and his fur was midnight black just the opposite of his smaller brother. his nose twitched as he sniffed the elf infront of him and he moved slowly towards her giving out a low growl once and while, telling her in his own way that she wasn't to make a stupid move.

Sierra stared at the wolf before her, he was bigger than the others and figured that he must be the leader if nothing else. He growled at her and was looking quite fierce, her expression changed to its usual form which was pretty much cold if not expressionless. Not one muscle twitched as the wolf neared her although she did prepare herself for a fight if she needed but in the meantime she stood her ground, crossed her arms before her, and stared back with a slight grin on her face as she waited for what came next.

Vestakia kept her eyes on sythe for a moment before turning her head back to Hunter, he had seemed to have taken a liking to one of the wolves. Vestakia smiled and walked up Taking Hunters hand and placing it on the wolfs forehead leaving Noka to harass Kisuke for a short moment. "Her name is She'ra, the man who owned her was taken by Demons a few months ago when we had been closer to the border then we had intended, we had heard about bandit sightings down the main road and didn't want to take the chance...we should have." she said sadly letting go of Hunters hand as the She-wolf pressed into his touch whining softly. "If you want to get there i can inform the Caravan we will be going ahead, usually it would take us a week since we usually move at a slower pace because of the horse and wagon...but we should be able to make it there by midday tomorrow if we take just the wolves...You could take She'ra if you want, I think she would enjoy it." Vestakia turned back to Noka and Kisuke and made a low whistle, Noka immediatly moved away from the Raccoon and crouched down beside Vestakia who hopped up onto his back and grabbed on to the long fur at the back of the wolfs neck. "Kisuke, take that grey one over there, he is just being broken in for riding, no one has claimed him yet and he needs the practice." she said to the Raccoon pointing towards the namless silver-grey wolf that stood slightly away from the caravan.

She steered Noka towards Sythe while the large black wolf studied the Elven woman, the black wolf looked up towards his brother and rider as they moved beside him, the black and white wolves sniffed each other for a moment and Noka moved his head under his brothers to bump his nose below the black wolfs chin whining softly. Vestakia spoke directly to Sythe in the language she had spoke to gradmother earlier before moving away towards her fellow Gypsies to tell them they would be going ahead.

Sythe turned his head back to the Elven woman and slowly crouched down his golden eyes staring at her expectanly.

Sierra watched as Vestakia came over with Noka and as the two wolves exchanged their own kind of greeting and wondered what Vestakia had said to the black wolf as she spoke to him. She looked into the golden eyes of the wolf for awhile and assumed she was to mount onto his back, she never was one to ride anything, but she would not insult such a magnificent creature as this, nor a fellow warrior as she remembered what Vestakia had said about these wolves. It was ultimately rare for her to show any sort of respect to anyone, but she bowed her head slightly in respect for a fellow warrior, wolf or not and moved to his side watching carefully and keeping alert to make sure this was what the wolf was expecting her to do. With ease she jumped up in a swift movement swinging her other leg to the other side and settled onto the wolf's back and waited to see what he would do next..

As the lightning continued to bounce from one needle to the other Velmont was using his ability to read for small gaps in the Elf's "mental walls." Velmont was impressed with Jasper's mental walls, there were absolutely no gaps not even the smallest of cracks. Suddenly a large piece of that wall broke, allowing him to gain access to whatever thoughts or memories he could find. Once again however, Velmont was blocked from reaching any of Jasper's inner thoughts, but he was able to gain access to the memory of his loved one. The moment he saw these memories, he quickly removed himself from Jasper's mind and shifted the memories to the bolts of electricity. In seconds the lightning created a type of dome around Jasper, then vanished. It stayed quiet for a moment then the lightning reappeared, reforming the dome and slowly forming into a perfect image of Eleanor's face.

Vestakia sighed as she looked around for Grandmother, the old elf probably already knew they would be leaving early. She moved Noka back near Sythe and sighed with relief the wolf had let Sierra ride him. "Becareful with him, he is yours now, but if you disrespect him in anyway you will lose his trust and he wont hesitate to throw you off." she warned and then grinned. "Glad im not stuck with him." she then turned Noka around and trotted off towards Hunter. "Hurry up and get on if you want to get to the city before Nightfall tomorrow."

((@ Sierras : Shythe is yours to control now, go for it XD))
