Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nadea finished the Italian serenade and bowed deeply, the crowd applauded her performance and she stepped down. The conductor kissed both her cheeks and gave her another hug. By then her tears had dried up and her sorrow of what she used to be was suppressed with a smile. She walked back into the crowd, suddenly very shy of her scars on her back. How she missed her wings, no one would ever know, not even Shadow. Lighting up a cigarette, she grabbed a glass of wine and smile softly to the party goers, giving her thanks to their comments on her voice. Trying her hardest not to twtich at the word "angelic".

Sakura nodded slightly as she stood there, hugging him tight. "Papa.......I know that....I love you too papa..." she said softly with a smile, though the tears seemed to keep falling.

Nadea made her way to the back of the room and sat down, shifting uncomfortably in her gown. She desperately wanted to change but knew she couldn't leave quite yet, she would make her short leave when the hostess made her speech. Until then she crossed her legs and took a sip of wine, her green eyes scanning the growing crowd with mild curiosity.

Nadea smiled, "I don't wish to leave permanently, i just wish to change out of this gown. Its hot and a little too big for me..." she chuckled and took a drag off her cigarette. "And thank you...i haven't sung for an audience in quite some time." she smiled softly and looked back out into the crowd, most were dancing and a few were lounging around and conversing with one another. "No one has asked me to dance yet...but the night is young. Perhaps both of our escorts will show up and show us a good time ehh?" she nudged Selena jokingly and offered her a glass of wine.

Nadea smiled softly, "Well...perhaps we could have another one on the weekend? I know more people would show up on the weekend! Oh we could have like a Cinderella ball! It would last three days and two nights! What do you think?" Nadea said softly.

Luna looked at Naomi and Lucian, "I'm going to get these shoes then go get Blade." She smiles at them then grabs the shoes and takes it to the teller to pay for them. "These please," she pays for them then runs to Blades house. She walks threw his front door with out knocking and get tackled to the ground by Blade. "Hello to you too." She pushes him off of her, "Are you ready?"

"Well i just have to grab my mask," He smiles at her and looks at her. "You have to go get ready," She pushes her toward the stairs, "Go get ready." He smiles then gets his mask off of the couch.

Luna smiles "ok," she runs to his room and sees her dress and her mask on the bed. She puts her stuff on with her new shoes that she just got then she pulls her hair up into a bun. She goes down the stairs and smiles at Blade, "What do you think?" She does a little spin infront of him.

He smiles at her while she puts his mask on. He walks over and fixes her mask. "It looks good," he lean into her and puts a red flower behind her ear. "Are you ready?" He holds his arm out for her to hold on to while they walk to the mansion.

She smiles at him, "I hope we will have fun." They walk to the mansion and she opens the door and she leads him to the ballroom. She doesnt see Selena so that makes her happy. "What dance do you want to do?" She smiles at him, "Salsa?"

Shadow patted Sakura lightly, "Come on inside Sakura, enjoy the music and try to relax. Everything will be fine." Shadow said as he walked back into the manor. Selena had went threw alot of trouble to get this sorted and Shadow was not about to miss it for the world, it was unfortunate that he got a little side tracked with some family issues but that happened fromt iem to time. It only took him a moment to make it to the ball room and track down Selena, "I am sorry about that Selena, family trouble you know. Can you forgive me?" He asked her.
