Welcome to Gaia! ::

Teth came stumbling into the clearing, "sorry guys i got a little caught up in..." eh realized the glare he was getting form min. "Min..."

Min stood up and nocked him on the head, "You got drunk again, no wonder you took so long. Anyway meet our knew friend." She gestured to the sleeping girl. "And can we leave in the morning?"

Teth nodded to Min's state ment then turned to the girl. "Hello nice to meet you. Welcome to this small band of unfortunate souls, hope we don't dissapoint you too much."
Min elbowed him in the ribs, and teth smiled sheepishly.

"So Teth what did you find out." Min asked
"I found out nothin. What i mean is there was nothing. No village, no nothing. That's why i took so long i spent extra time trying to figure out why there was nothing. Last time we came here there was a town there. Now it looks as though there never was a town there. It is really truely odd." He brow furrowed and he put his hand to his chin, thinking.

((Ok i was going to balme it one a mega evil person from rune's past, but neol works. OH!!!!! BRAIN BLAST! what if neol is a mega evil person from rune's past, and he is trying to forget about the war and every thing else, by trying to act like a weakier demon. and that is why he hates rune and doesn't want her coming out.l but rune's hasn't recognixed him... yet... muhahaha! it's just an idea....))

Teth saw neol flinch and misunderstood it. "Don't worry whoever did this is probably long gone. Though i wish we could figure out who did." Min interuppted his thoughts. "Teth, can we go take a look at it? I wonder if we can notice anything you missed, and you often miss a lot."
Teth nodded. "Yes that is a good idea." he paused "Hey! i do not miss a lot of things."
Min just smiled. "Come on Neol, let's go check it out."

What they found was not what Min expected. She had expected at least a few ruins. But all that was left were a few rocks and maybe a few pieces of wood. Other than that it was just a barren field. She ran to the center of the lost village and knelt down. She put her hand on the ground and frowned. Suddenly she stumbled. Rune stood up. “This is just to strange.” She mumbled to herself.

Rune whipped around. She crouched low, her senses tingling the moment she heard the threatening growl. Energy began to swirl around her hands. She squinted at Neol. “Boy, what is going on here?” She inquired slowly. The form… It was. No it could not be! He was still alive. How had he survived the war? No, the question was, how did he escape his bonds? Or was he still bound, but the were the bonds weaker? These thoughts swirled around her head. Not for the first time she wished that, she could remember those last few hours, or days of the battle. However, if that was truly the demon she was thinking of, why did he not attack when she had first woken up and was at her weakest? Even now, Rune was not at her full power. She did not think she could survive an encounter now.

((ok so here’s my idea. Neol was in the battle 1,000 years ago (or however long ago it was.) and at the time he and rune were sworn enemies/ rivals. She bound him into his smaller form in the midst of battle. The reason she never recognized him was that she never saw his bound form. Now over time the bond has weakened. What do you think?))

Rune walked over. These devolpments did not prove to be a good sign. She closed her eyes and started to chant. She best reienforce the bond now. Before the demon could fully come out. She was also worried about the bound form. For some reason he did not act like a full demon when he was around Min. A light grew between her hands. Suddenly it fixxled out. Rune opened her eyes and stared at her hands. She did not even have the power to do this meger spell? Pitifull. She closed her eyes.
Min opened her eyes and looked around. "What?" She noticed Neol. "Neol!" She ran over and poked him with her toe. "Hello?"
