"I was actually planning to leave tonight." He said to her. He looked at her. "You have what you wished for, and even more. You don't need my companionship anymore." He explained. "I journey like the wind, going wherever I happen to be. Never staying too long, and leaving without a mark."

Takara looked up when she heard Tamuril at the door, getting up from her bed. Walking up to the door and opening, she saw him standing there with a tray. She looked down at it and saw that it had bacon, ham and some tomatoes. Her favorite foods. She looked up at him and blinked before she stepped aside to let him in. Takara didn't know why he'd brought the food up, but she didn't mind either. Her stomach was happy, at least.
"You look better now." Takara told Tamuril as she shut the door behind him, Kirra randomly appearing from beneath the bed. The cat meowed and stretched before going over to Tamuril and brushing against his legs. Then the cat looked up at him as if asking for the food.

Sentinel obeyed Tamuril's orders, without a word. He felt a divine being's work at hand here and wouldn't interfere with that, not even if it had hurt her majestry deeply. He left the corridor and went into the courtyard and saw the two people there again.
"I'm sorry, I left so quickly, but healing was needed. However, I heard you were here to harness your wind magic, young elfling," he said to Karasi.
And to Khunni, "I hope your travels don't lead you to danger. Beware the other kingdom. While the people may not be bad, something is amidst in the courts."

Karasi nodded in understanding. "I see. I was hoping for your companionship, but if you feel you must leave, I understand." hearing a voice behind her, she turned and say one of the men from earlier.
"Yes," she said with a nod, glancing back at Khuni. "And I am an Elvian sir, not an elf. It's a common mis-understanding." Would he really leave her? Khuni was the only one that she knew here. She supposed she would get to know the others, but the truth was, she would miss him. He reminded her of her family, though why she was unsure.
((wait... is it the next day, or the same day? I'm confused @.@))

(I... don't... know.)
He thought for a bit. "Well, if you wish. I will stay, since I have no where to go." He said to her. He turned to the man. "And there is always something amiss in the court. It was when I fought against that kingdom, and it is still now." He told the man. It was strange, there has always been a driving force behind the king of that country since the first war for the mythical jewels.

((It's definately night, not the next day.))
Tamuril took a step in, and placed the tray on her desk. He looked down at his feet to find Kirra circling his feet. tamuril bent down and lightly pet the cat around the neck, massaging it slightly. The cat appeared as if it wanted the food he brought in for Takara. "Unfortunately that food is not mine to give." Tamuril stood back up, and smiled at the cat.
"I guess I do feel alot better now. Anyways, you should eat. While you eat, perhaps you could explain to me what had frightened you so?" Tamuril moved away from her desk, and leaned against the wall.

((thanks for the clarification smile ))
Karasi had moved so that she could be facing the both of them without being rude. "Thank you Khuni," she said with a nod. "I will be glad to have someone I know here with me." Her mind then turned to what the other had said to Khuni, and his reply. Something amiss? The elvian wondered what it could be.
((gah, short post ><))

He nodded at her. Now, one problem arises. Where will I stay? He thought to himself. He did have money to rent out a room for himself, but the money will only last for so long. He would also have to buy food for himself, which could get expensive after a while. Oh well, it shouldn't take that long. And I could always get some job so I can get some money. But this would definately be cumbersome for a while at first.

"I do not believe Shin desires a fat cat." Takara told Kirra, reaching out and picking up a small piece of bacon. She bent down, handing it to the cat who took it and then ran off. She stood up, sitting down on the desk and picking up another piece of bacon and biting it. Once it was gone she looked over at Tamuril, nodding in responce to the words he had spoken earlier. Her stomach forced her to eat something again, and so she took one of the sliced pieces of the tomato and ate it as well. Once it was swallowed, she cleaned her hands and then spoke.
"I am frightened of something that I do not actually know." Takara answered as her eyes flickering over to the tail that stuck out from behind a corner, belong to the only animal in the room. "When Alexia and the god of fire Domicus spoke to me, they told me that this war was not being controlled by the king of Ehsar but someone else. Another god, who had committed a crime that made him be locked away. Somehow he has been able to reach out and control the king without the king's knowing. He wants all four diamonds so he can free himself." Again, that image from the black mist began to reach out for her.
"They did not tell me his name. And I cannot think of a name of a cursed god. I do not know why but he scares me. I feel as if I know him." Takara shook her head, looking back over at the food. She didn't feel hungry anymore, but she had to eat. She started eating, slowly, wondering what the figure in the black mist was.

Tamuril shut his eyes, trying to remember of any cursed god. Of course nothing came to mind, but Tamuril hadn't put much effort into it. "If he wants all four jewels, than we just have to make sure he doesn't get them. Or another way of action is we can claim the other two jewels, and dispose of them? If there are no jewels, there would be no point in the god controlling the king, also ending the war." Although this plan sounded simple, it was far from it.
Why was Takara scared of this god though? Further more, how could she know him? It was becomming a very big mystery. The only thing Tamuril would be able to do is protect the queen with all that he's got.

"No. The jewels must stay apart." Takara shook her head in responce to Tamuril's words as she looked down at her hands. The palms were facing up, the back of her hand laying on the soft fabric of her dress. "We cannot take Ehsar's and they cannot take ours." The entire point of Ehsar and Trusar being created was so the jewels could be safe from one another. "And destroying them is not an option either. The jewels cannot be destroyed by mortal means. The only path that is open is protecting the two jewels that are here."
She took her eyes away from her hands, looking over at the only other person in the room. Kirra walked in, going over to Tamuril and sniffing him before rubbing her head against his legs. "Trusar has been able to pull through this war without knowing the truth for these past years. It can continue."
'This is a twisted war. Can there ever truly be an end?' Takara thought to herself as her eyes flickered back to her hands. 'No one realizes this, but Ehsar cannot fall. If it does, then the jewels could fall into the wrong hands, and I cannot allow Trusar to claim them.' She lowered her head, shutting her eyes as the thoughts went through her mind. She hated thinking about these facts, knowing that no one had actually thought of the war in the way. It was disturbing to imagine of the years that could pass by. A new royal family for Ehsar was out of the question, that is unless the gods stepped in. There were many hidden facts about the royal families of the jewels that had fallen from the moon.
'The royal families are not even human or any other common race....' Takara's mind whispered as she opened an eye, looking over at Tamuril through her hair silently. 'I doubt that Tamuril knows of this. No one really does. I wonder what his reaction would be if he learned that he wasn't even who he thought he was? The royal family is one-of-a-kind. There are no others that hold the blood that we do. In all truth I do not even know what we really are....'

Tamuril frowned. If the jewels could not be destroyed, and can't be all gather into one, than what were they to do? Sit around and keep geting attacked by Ehsar until the defenses finally break? "Than how is it are we going to end this war? It would be useless to kill the king of Ehsar, for that god would just enslave another person."
Tamuril kept on thinking what course of action could be taken, but nothing came to mind. "What if we captured the king for questioning?" If they captured him, they may learn of his motives for wanting the jewel pieces, even know it was a god controlling him.

'Trusar is a mighty kingdom, but everything eventually comes to an end.' Takara thought to herself, listening as Tamuril's words ended but not answering him at first. 'There must be something that I can do to make the war end. Who and where is this god? If only his power could be locked off completely. However my knowledge is too limited, and my power against a god's is nothing. This is insanity.'
"Taking the king of Ehsar could provoke his family and send a full-out assualt on us." Takara finally replied after she'd drifted over her thoughts for a small period of time. "I am not sure what to do currently. I shall have to think things over."
She straitened her head, pulling her hair back and looking fully at him. She almost looked as if she wanted to say something, but her lips didn't move and no muffled sounds came from her throat. Takara looked over at her food, eating what was on the plate and wiping her mouth and then standing up.
"Stay out of trouble." She simply stated before she went over to the door and opened it, exiting the room. She walked down the hall, heading to the lower levels. There was a certain place she needed to visit.

Takara went all the way down to the level that led out to the streets, but instead of stopping there she went down stairs that led to the parts that laid underneath the castle. Eventually, all that lit the halls were torches that were lined along the walls. Soon, she took a turn into a rather poor looking area. As she walked, she could feel magic wrapping around her as it reconized her royal blood and the two jewels that she wore. Had it been someone without a moon jewel or royal blood, then the halls would remain the same. However, as Takara reached the hall there was a door at the end of it that hadn't been there before. She grabbed the handle, opening it and shutting it after herself. Once the door was shut, it melted back into the wall, leaving no mark that it had been there. Even the foot prints that had been made by the queen when she had walked across the dirty floors disappeared.
Now, in front of her was another hall with dirt floors and stone walls. The dirt was smooth and untouched, and the walls didn't have a single piece of dust on them despite the fact that very few souls ever walked through. Takara started walking again, her foot steps disappearing behind her right after one of her feet lifted up from the ground. Opening another door, and she was inside of a tall and wide room. The room was filled books and more books and chairs along with tables. It was completely empty and silent, not even a mouse could be hidden somewhere along the wall. The wall were decorated with carvings of what Trusar looked like, the mountains, rivers, even the castle and the towns. Takara didn't speak as she walked up to a wall of books, pulling one down and opening it. She repeated this, searching for certain pieces of information. An hour passed, and she wasn't finding anything that she was looking for. What was she looking for? Information of the cursed god. Where she was a library hidden underneath the castle that only royals of Trusar could get into.
Takara set the book she'd been holding off to the side, standing up and walking over to one of the walls. She walked along it, looking at the carvings that had been drawn into it. She paused as she reached the end of a room, looking down at a picture of a brook. She trailed her fingers over it, and suddenly the picture started to glow. She withdrew her hand, the two jewels glowing as well. Takara stepped back, and the wall opened up, though there was no sound of shifting rocks. She blinked, staring at the opening that had just been created. It was completely black inside, and there wasn't even a trace of magic leaking out. She felt something pulling at her neck, and when she looked down she saw that the wind diamond was making itself float and point right into the dark black. She nodded to herself, stepping forward and the wall shut right behind her. The fire jewel suddenly came to life, light pouring out and lighting up the walls. There were old writings on it, and she couldn't even read any of it. This place was very, very old. She didn't even know that this had been here.
