Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I suppose it is, but you have no idea of knowing if what you are looking for concerns you.......you appear to be looking for someone in particular, and if he has any osrt of power, I definitely know him"

Catalyxe looked up as he heard a crackling noise form the trees above, then watched as a body fell from it. He ran over and caught it, and immediately recognized it as Kasumi. she had a stab wound in both her chest and her skull, her pulse was gone ans she was not breating. He concentrated, and felt her aura barely there She is still alive! "Please, let us finish this inside!" He grabbed the man by the arm, and rushed them into the cave, then to the main chamber. "NOODLE! EMERGENCY!" He walked past Cyrus, who was singing piss drunk, and laid Kasumi's body down. He went and grabbed the whiskey bottle from Cyrus and poured the alcohol on the wounds. He then pulled out a small flask of Nectar from Man-Eating Lumo buds, which posessed great healing properties, and poured it into the wounds "Noodle, please, you must save her!"

Noodle hopped down quickly, a sad look on his face "Pipi pi!" He focused his powers onto the wounds, and they began to heal, but too slowly

"It's not enough! Then, I guess, I will have to..."Catalyxe focused his life force into Noddle's hands, and the healing powers increased. Slowly, the wounds began to close up, and Kasumi's aura began to return, and Catalyxe could sense a pulse as she began to breathe weakly "Thank the Gods!" Catalyxe sighed in relief and collapsed to the floor exhausted. Noodle collapsed as well, fast asleep after such sudden extreme usage of his powers. Catalyxe looked over to the stranger, and smiled slightly "I do believe we have not yet been formally introduced...I am Catalyxe, and this is my best friend Noodle. That girl is Kasumi and that guy over there is my Husband Cyrus. So now, back to what we were talkign about.....who is it you are searching for? I am pretty sure I know the person by the way you are goign on about it"

After a few minutes of jogging Ral cast cameleon on himself making him blend perfectly into the background. He got down on all fours and walked over to a tree and climbed up making sure he didnt make a sound. He looked back to find that only three of the soldiers were still alive.

Them, running after me accelerated their deaths... Haut scum...

He climbed out to a limb and cameleon ended. He looked down at the soldeirs and jumped down atop them. crushing both under his wait and speed of the fall. He lifted his foot and looked at the bottom. He steped off the bodies and whiped off his feet. He looked around.

"They followed me to the edge of the forest."

He ran quickly and soon came out of the forest on the southern most border of the swamp. He quickly ran to the top of a hill to gain his bearings. Ral sat down and looked around.

"Got it. I must head west from here to the alliances meeting point. I will gain my revenge."

He ran west as he saw a a Huat flier soar over his position moving in a north westerly direction. He followed and a while later a few more flew over head. He saw a flash and the first flier go down in the distance. As he neared he spotted a small forest and cliff like hill.

This is it.

He stopped and sat down once more, for all the running he did fatagued him, for a rest.

Takara opened her eyes, having located Travis' aura and had Kana open a portal to a place near him. She stepped through and appeared in the forest, in the shadows of a tree. She watched Travis and a reptilian stranger from behind the tree's trunk, cloaking her aura as she studied the situation.

Takara stepped from the shadows, carefully watching the stranger, her eyes wary. Though she decided against drawing her sword, as a gesture that she didn't want to fight.

"I suppose I forgot to stand downwind...I am Takara of the Guardian clan. From your slightly disgusted inflection upon the word 'Haut,' I take it you're not on good terms with them?..."

Takara turned her gaze to Travis, her eyes revealing her sadness and worry.

"Tachi's gone, I don't know where he is and I can't reach him through our link. All I get is this wall of light and pain and a thought to run away. I've been told your father would like to kill me, and perhaps he's cut off Tachi somehow. I was wondering if you could help locate him..."

Catalyxe sensed the presence of Takara, Travis, Kori, and another whome he guessed was the one to represent the Orligonians of Parleur. He looked over at Cyrus, who was still piss drunk, and hurled the empty whiskey bottle at his head, snapping him out of his stupor "Get off your a** and go escort our guest inside, they are waiting outside, you big oaf!" HE giggled slightly as Cyrus grunted, then nodded as he became fully sober

"Alright, already, don't get your panties all in a bunch, Tallie my love, I am on it" Cyrus wiped his face and headed outside. He approached the others and bowed to the newcomer "Everyone, let's get inside and down to business, shall we? My Tallie seems to be a bit moody, so please forgive him" He turned to Travis as he caught a whiff of Cranberry he recognized from his childhood "You smell funny.......where exactly did you go?"

this is of no concern to me....fine..um..Catalyst or something, i'm looking for Ryan Kane, if you see him, let me know *cuts a rift in the air and dives in*
