Focht just listens, mental barriers start coming up to stop people from seeing what he was thinking. It was as if Gatia's words had sparked something.

Selyna wandered the kitchen a bit and grabbed some butter cookies. Placing one on her pinkie finger she began to eat it on "petal" at a time, making her way around and closer to her finger until it almost fell off and then finished it. Repeating this with all the cookies, she stares off into space, thinking thoughts most people have when they're alone.

Gatia: in an act to preserve their forces, both D and Apollo ordered most all of their forces to retreat, while they remained to investigate alone. Soon enough they found the source of the anamolies causing the men to dissappear and lose limbs. Two figures who kept themselves covered in cloaks had been using some kind of power to appear and dissappear around the investigation squads, and used those same powers to literally wipe the men from existence. A fight broke out, a fight in which would go on for maybe an hour or two, with no words at all from the cloaked figures. By the time the fight was finished, D and Apollo were drained significantly and the two fighters had retreated. Before D and Apollo could leave.... they were confronted by the real mastermind of the operation..... Thanatos.

Focht was listening intensely to Gatia. He wasn't blinking but thinking and listening.

Gatia: While they were weakened, Thanatos attacked D and Apollo. Though they put up a good fight, D seemed skeptic about fighting Thanatos. Unfortunately, that was his downfall. Thanatos managed to get a significant hit to D's head, knocking the wind out of him. In that moment, Thanatos took the oppurtunity and cast the same sealing magic that D had used on Mastema. D's body and soul were torn apart, the soul and mind locked away forever.

Focht sighed, wondering what part he would play in all of this.

Gatia: D was sealed away, leaving Apollo and Thanatos in a one on one match. Immediately after D was sealed, Apollo took the chance and lashed out at Thanatos, hoping to make a direct hit. He did. The hit took off Thanatos's left arm and left eye. One would think that that injury would cost Thanatos the bout, but it didn't. While he was down and seemingly passed out, Apollo approached him, and Thanatos swung his left side at Apollo, throwing his blood at Apollo's face. In a lucky hit, the blood got Apollo in the eyes and caused him to become temporarily disabled. Seizing the chance, Thanatos used his remaining strength to lunge at Apollo and thrust his palm clean through apollo's chest, grabbing the man's heart and forcing it out his back. Even with Apollo's last breath, Thanatos wasn't finished. He turned to the still open nexus through which he had sealed D away, and thrust Apollo into it as well. Apollo's body was torn away, his mind and soul sealed just like Mastema's and D's.

Focht dissappeared from the couch for a second, using his speed to go to the kitchen and steal a few cookies from Selyna. He pulled one right off her finger and grabbed a cookie right off her finger before she took a bite. He was like a ghost appearing to her and the dissappeared again, returning to the couch. Selyna's muching had gotten his stomach growling and complaining. He sent Selyna a telepathic message as he awaited the rest of the story.
Selyna... you can come join us if you wish. Thanks for the cookies.

Selyna lost in her daydream, bit her finger. Son of a ..... Catching Focht's message, she said to him in the same language. I hope you're not that quick in everything you do. She smirked grabbed a few more cokkies and made her way out sucking her bitten finger.

Gatia: *shakes his head a bit* As I was saying. After that... there was only really one major event to remember. Thanatos, after replacing his eye and arm with mechanical limbs, proceeded to fulfill Mastema's old plan and make the worst mistake he ever could. Using the lance, known as the Gatia key, Thanatos broke down the barriers that separated the realms. This realm became open to heaven, hell, purgatory, and any other realm that existed. Essentially what Thanatos did was destroy the need for a "hall of doors" as you may remember that. So with Thanatos's "apocalypse" in swing..... the world as you know it slowly started to crumble. Gabriel, Lucifer, the gods, the devils... all of them could now do what they wished. It's been 35 years in my time since the barriers broke down..... a world population of a few billion was reduced to a few hundred.....

Focht responded to Selyna telepathicly in the language they both understood before speaking to Gatia. His eyes narrow on Gatia as he speaks.
Depends on what I am doing..... come and join me on the couch if you wish.
"I haven't been there in a long time...... Wait, how do you know all of this? ....... I don't think Thanatos would regret doing that so you aren't him."

Selyna makes her way over to the couch to sit next to Focht the way a friend would not too close not too far. She regarded the man with a nod not wanting to interupting him. She listened to the story half heartedly as she had obviously come in during the middle and wouldn't understand anyway. Setting back into her daydream, she continued eating cookies.

Gatia: *chuckles* Oh I'm just a man who lost his friends and family because of what Thanatos did. Really, I hate the man. I came back to change what happens.....by either changing Thanatos....or ending his existence.

Focht began munching on a cookie he stole from Selyna. He was in deep thought right now. 3 thing were in the fore front of his mind: Who is Gatia, would he survive till that day, and how could he interefer with Thanatos killing D and Apollo. His tail absent mindedly wagged between him and Selyna.
"I would like to know you're real stake in all of this, Gatia.... lost family and friends is no reason to travel this far back through time. If you wanted to stop Thanatos you could go back and stop the events that lead to his birth."
