Welcome to Gaia! ::

A grin cracked the lips of Damians mouth and he nodded ever so slowly. "Ahh...and the question of faith has been asked at last." He said with a smirk as his chair thumped back onto the floor from where he had been leaning back. He pondered the question over in his head, there were so many answers he could give to such a question, but he decided to use just one, a summary of them all.

"I technically do not own a relationship with the "god" you speak of Kabuki, I beleive in him to a certain extent, though I am not as blind as some of his followers. Not blind enough to beleive that only one god exists and to deny the truth of any other religeous figure. I beleive that he exists yes, but I also agree that every other god preached about exists. They are all there, and they all live off of our faith. I give faith to each and every one, though not to a full extent. For I do not beleive in some aspects of this "lord" whom created the entire globe and everything in it." He said with a smirk. "Does this answer your question adequetly?" He asked.

He hoped that his answer was good enough for Kabuki and he had not said anything that would offend him or put himself in the bad books of Kabuki's. He just maintained his warm smile and waited for Kabuki to continue, taking another very small sip of the tea and savoring it's taste.

He smiled as the convorsation began to unfold and he shook his head. "Ahh...but the god in which you speak is rumored to love everyone no matter their sins as long as they repent for them and say they feel bad for what they have done. If this was true, how is it possibly for him to dislike someone for not giving him all his faith?" He asked with a large smile. I will never change my faith no matter if he does not want me to be luke-warm." He stated with a laugh as he pondered the lie theory that Kabuki had placed infront of him.

"You are overlooking a very large possibility my friend. You need to see that there is no lie in any of it, only exaduration. Maybe each and every god had a place in the creation of this world, but instead of taking part in only their own doing, it has been twisted into an exaduration of it all and religeoon itself has stretched the lie further and further, creating this difference between all religeons, making them think all others are wrong becauase their religeons state these stretched lies." He said with a smirk.

"As well as your time theory...whomever does not beleive in this is a fool. There is no such thing as something without a beginning or without an end. Another reason why my faith is spread so thin with this god you speak of, for nobody says he had a beginning. When the question is asked they simply answer that he was always there and that is not a possibility. As well as time had a beginning, it must have an end." He said with a delightful convorsation, enjoying it emensly as he took another sip of tea.

Damian decided not ot get in an arguement about anything to do with the love and jelousy deal and just nodded with a smile. Then he began to speak of the whole gods making the world thing and he nodded. "Yes, you can say that I beleive any god whom says that they solely created the earth is a liar. I do strongly beleive no one god could have done it all by themselves." He stated with another small nod.

"Really...does it not contradict the entire religeon in itself. For if got had no beginning then the religeon would not exist at all would it?" He said with a grin. "I beleive that if god has created us...then he should at least be able to tell us how he was created. Though god doesn't even answer me when I pray, so why is it he should answer that right?" He said with a laugh. "I am not trying to say he isn't there or he should answer every prayer that is said. But it is hard to beleive in a religeon where there is no proof at all, just a book that could have been written by anyone.

He grinned when he heard the next question and he laughed. Nodding and smirking. "Well, to tell you the truth, I am ever other elder's re-incarnation. We beleive that when we die and leave behind an egg, it is only because we are the phoenix itself and we create anew what has been killed so many times. The phoenix is not quite the reincarnatiuon of us...but just an animal that can only be born from the death of a fellow phoenix. We don't know what else to call it so we call it a re-incarnation even though it is quite the wrong term." He said with a smirk. "Though back to the point. Me...when time itself ends. I will be with all the other elders in the Phoenix Realm. The people of our clan go there, and it is said to be open to the afterlife realms of the religeons that are beleived in by that clan member, not only one after life available.

"But I have never spoken that I can not beleive in eternal existance. But eternal's definition is slightly wrong. I beleive eternal is from the beginning of time to the end of time. When time itself is over, everything ends. Maybe not the afterlives however, which in that sence is where god would be. Meaning that God's sence of eternity is even longer the nthe end of time if this is the truth. Meaning that my edefinition is not correct either. Though I do have faith that god is there. I have much faith and already told you that. You keep on putting words into my mouth as well....I have not said that I do not beleive in a need to know basis either. I said I do not beleive he was just there. That he never had a beginning, I did not say that I did not beleive that he is not telling us about how he began, only merely said he SHOULD." He stated.

"Though on the next note I wish to say I am going to end this convorsation about giving my all to god because you and I have very different veiws on it and I do not feel like turning it int oa heated debate." He said wit ha smile. Then he heard him speak of why he should beleive the book in which he had given him, he didn't even need to hear his spirit tell him of the book he had given him. It was easy to know right off the back. But he shook his head. "There is know way to know until you try to combine the ingrediants within. Though with all due respect Kabuki...having faith in ingrediants for a potion that the ingrediants grow outside and the complete potions line the walls is very much different then beleiving in a book that is written before 2006 years ago about a man born from a godly entity and these others and the holy message of god. It is insanely different and one is insanely easyer to beleive in." He said, looking at him with a quirked brow. "Would you not agree?"

Damiansmiled as he listened to the last words of their convorsation. He meant to only end one subject of this convorsation, but he decided that he was not going to try and re-kindle it. For he was ready to leave. The last few words and the look upon his face made a grin appear over his face. "I knew you had seen something from those plants we walked through. The same as my dream. Insanely bright flames and a phoenix impaled upon a massive spike in the center of the village right?" He asked with a smirk.

"But trust me, nothing will change our faith. We will go to the Phoenix Realm and nowhere else, because we all beleive in it with all of our faith. The faith in a land where all afterlives are open to all whom beleive in each and every one of them. That is exactly what my people beleive in and we will never forget it....at least...I will not." He said with a slight smile. "Though I am not foolish enough to say everyone else will not shift their beleifs and faith. I am sure some will turn to anarchy and everythign will be in complete chaos when the phoenix is killed." He stated. "When you see the sky turn blood red, impossible not to see form anywhere, even from the other side of the world, the very fringe of thehorizon will be extravogant red. You will knwo what has happened." He said with a smile as he breathed in deeply looking around his little hut.

He smiled and he gave Kabuki a large bow as he ended their convorsation, standing up and saying it was time for him to go. He just smiled as he nodded to him. "Indeed you will need to have me guide you." He said with a smile as he stepped out of the hut into the inner garden once more and he looked around with a smile. "My beautiful plants....I bid you farewell." He said with a smile of some sort hard to decifer it's true meaning.

He walked out of the inner garden and he looked at his plants with the look of a mother upon his face. He walked through the thorns, keeping Kabuki close so that he wasn't harmed by them and then continued their walk through the garden, breathing deep and sighing deeper as he walked. "Well, take a good look my friend." He said with a grin. "You may not be back." He said with a slightly sad tone. He reached out and grabbed the handle to the doorway to the main house.

He pulled the door open and walked into the main house, then to the doorway to the outside and stopped turning to Kabuki and reaching out and giving him a brotherly embrace. "Thank you my friend. It was great to have met you and spent this time with you. You are truely a great man and I will always look at you as a brother." He said with a smile. He wished that things did not have to end for this village as they would, for he knew the end to it's beginning. He looked to him with a sad smile and nodded to him deeply.

Damian smiled as he turned and leaned against his doorframe. He looked at Kabuki and smile as he looked him over, shaking his head. "If only you knew that there would be nothing to come back to the day you finally do decide in later years...to try and meet your old friend once more." He said with a laugh to himself as he walked back into the depths of his home, up stairs and towards the roof. He would watch the siluette of a man grow smaller and smaller, the phoenix by his side, sadly whimpering in it's own vocal sound.

"I know...I know." Damian said with a small smile as he turned around and shook his head. "We don't have long Phoenix...another few months and we will all be in the phoenix realm. Not anybody will even realize without the sky turning red...who would have thought that our enemy possessed the power to stop you...my phoenix from truely dieing. Only a comatic state, right before death. I am sorry for your fate...to be doomed to stay alive yet asleep upon the spire. I will avenge you in later years my friend." He said, placing a hand in the burning feathers of the phoenix and petting it.

It was time to meditate on everything he had learned in the past day. He shook his head and breathed deep, it was crazy that he had inherited so much responsibility and his empire would fall so soon. There was nothing that would stop it. For he knew that being phychic only meant that he could see the future...not change it. It was the future...it was what would come...if he were to try and change it it would be what triggered the event to happen in the first place. If he did nothing, it would come as well, there was nothing to be done.

He smiled as he sat down and closed his eyes, drifting into his state of meditation and the phoenix curled it's massive wings around it's master, keeping him safe as he stayed still. They sat there like that for days, the people of the village seeing the flame burnign upon his house for the entire time of the two weeks. When they finally moved, it was with a heave heart. He had to tell the villagers. He stood upon the balcony and he looked upon the phoenix village and a smile broke upon his face.

"PEOPLE OF THE PHOENIX CLAN!!" He yelled out, his voice ringing through every allyway. Loud as if he had aged years at a time...it was not until then that he had noticed...he had. His hair was grey....and now he had grown another 10 inches, he was 6' 1''. He must have been getting something from his great elder whom was 7' 8''. He laughed as he looked himself over, he looked as if he were 23 years old now. The final process of the elder. He had the mind of a man whom was 10000 years old and the body of one whom was 23. It was a burden that this younge child had to take on. He looked back out to his people, whom were looking intently and he smiled down at them.

"I AM YOU'RE ELDER! THIS IS MY MESSAGE!!" He growled out, looking down upon them. "This village....shall be dececrated...everything destroyed...and the phoenix murdered in cold blood. I do not know yet of the reason why....or the man or woman whom will carry out this deed...all I know is that the town shall fall." He said sadly. "Leave if you wish, stay if you shall...I do not yet know the survival count." He said sadly, looking them all over with a dismal smile. "I appologise for such terrible news...." He stated, his voice like a whisper.
