Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aryana looked away from him as he asked how she arrived here. For a moment what could be taken as embarassment appeared on her cheeks. "No...I was in a carriage. I'm actually afraid of horses..."
She whispered the last part to him, hoping that he did not catch it at all.

"Well, I'm glad you went through it. Everyone should be graced to hear your voice." Looking at just about everything in the castle, he smiled at some things, frowned at others, and somethings just confused him. Realizing she was avoiding the Northern wing, he was going to ask her what was there, but decided against it. If I'm not supposed to know, then I'm not supposed to know. It isn't my job to snoop around, but to get to know the place.

Once they got to his room, he was a little glad it was over. "This place is nice, better than mine. The decore..." he trailed off, looking back out at the hallway. His eyes back on her, he could only smile. "Your father was a smart man, you never know what might happen." Winking at her, he bowed, kissing the top of her hand. "Now, if you'll excuse me, milady, I think I will find my horse and then grab my belongings. Syrva is probably feeling lost anyways." Sighing, he let go of her hand and began to take slow strides towards the stables where he left Syrva.

Arriving at the stables quite some time later, Syrva was kicking and rearing up to see him. "Calm down girl!" Roran laughed as he patted her nose. "It's fine. You'll have to get used to this place? It'll soon be our second home. And with the way the townsfolk treat some of the royal house, we may be here a bit longer to handle some things. You know how I hate the townsfolk rebelling on me. Especially since I care for their well being." Frowning, he sighed. "And I'm missing the evenings Dance. Oh well. Sacrifices will have to be made for peace. You ready to ride?" Syrva neighed happily as they galloped out of the stables.

As they were leaving though, Roran heard a few maids calling for Vivian. Having Syrva walk over to them, he asked, "have you checked the town? Her room? Everywhere possible?" The maids all nodded, and then began to run around in panic. "Syrva, let's go." He nudged her sides and she ran off, Roran reaching the end of the forest. "DELENE!?! DELENE WHERE ARE YOU!?!" he called for Vivian's new horse. If they had bonded as much as Vivian claimed, the horse might know where Vivian went off to. "DELENE!?!?!"

“By carriage? I see, it is the safest way to travel.” Xander wasn’t sure if he understood the second part correctly, so he didn’t get into it, “I prefer traveling by carriage, because I am not good with horses.” He laughed softly, his hand scratching the back of his head, “I owned six horses, all died in battle. I promised myself there would no seventh horse.” Painful memories surfaced in his thoughts, but he cleared his mind. He would want to make Princess Aryana to feel uneasy.

Amy woke up on the field next to Clive "s**t, i slept here?" she said looking around seeing the sun rise "crap crap crap" she said getting up....Clive woke up "damn it, you gotta get back...here i know a shortcut" he said, pulling her after him once again

Amaya heard the maids and quickly found Kaname. They both watched Roran race off and looked to eachother worried, before Amaya once again dawned her secret life. She was dressed like a man, and her hair was pulled back as a mask covered her face up to her eyes before she put her cloak on, racing off into the woods with Crow.

Scimitar hilts clanged together as the jet black mare ran, and Amaya put a hand to her mouth, howling as a wolf ran up. Revealing an item of Vivian's to the wolf, Amaya knelt next to the creature. "Saber, find Vivian." She whispered before the wolf raced off, Crow following in quick pursuit behind the wolf.

A few hours later, the group came upon the hideout. Saber growled as Amaya jumped off the horse. With one swift kick, the door fell onto a body and she found her sister in the corner, crying hysterically. Amaya knew what had happened to Vivian the moment she saw her, and it tore her up inside. She wanted to just cry and hold her little sister, but none of her sisters knew her little secret, so she had to pretend to only show as little sympathy as a stranger would. "Come with me. I won't hurt you. I promise." She said in a deep voice, holding her hand out as she looked at the floor.

Vivian was still as stone when she heard the door fell in, inside she was screaming and hysterical, her eyes reflecting this. But once she recognized her sister, she still couldn't move, the fear still inside. She shrank from her sisters hand, shaking her head as she slid against the wall and went around her sister, pushing the door off of Christoph. She would be thought a madwoman to act as she did, holding her sword up to her sister while holding his body to her. "No...You'll just take me from him like father did!" She screeched at her, too much conflict going on within her head. Choking back a sob, she dropped her sword, touching her forehead to Christoph's, shaking him a little. "Why? Why did you make me do that? Why?! You knew that was beyond my control...why dammit, why?!" She cried, swearing that she saw a tear fall from his closed eyes, finally letting all of the emotions out, sobbing, whailing, clinging to him. She too had kept a secret from her sisters, from nearly everyone. There was no escaping it, Amaya would find out now.

Amy and Clive stood back to back, each had a blade in their hand. As the assassins started coming, Amy caught her breathe 'ok, this is your time to prove yourself' she thought as 2 of them came at both of them. one at Clive, and one at her, as the assassin swung his sword in the air, she knew he was going to do an over-head attack, and blocked it, but as the blades hit, she noticed how strong he really was "jesus" she said as she was using all her strength to block the attack, but he was too strong, so she simply moved one step to the right, withdrew her sword, the assassin fell forward, and she turned her blade and ran it straight through his chest. "poo, these guys are stronger than Tridon" she said, nervously and a little scared
