Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Drake what are you doing here? We don't have time for your prattle anyways. We were just having a nice conversation before you came in." She said with a sigh.

He smiled

"so, you have tasted what I can do, remember?" he smirked and then rushed forward lunging towards Alex and Listio

She immediatly swong her sword using the flat edge to trip him up.

He fell onto the floor reaching for Listio's ankel.

X lunged forward from where she was and blocked him.

She immediatly looked extremely paler than before and shaking. She appeared to be skin and bones

He teleported out after he had taken X's strenght and a lot of her life force just by a quick touch.

The sword turned back into her staff and she slowely leaned down to X
"are you ok?"

X didnt respond back but she was looking at Alex.

Alex quickly picked up X and frowned. "Drake's really starting to piss me off." He said, obviously angry. He didn't know where they were. "Where's a free bed?"

Chael stood in the center of the room and watched, his hood was still up, hiding his face. He shrugged "Well, at least Drake keeps things interesting." He said calmly.

X's body became almost ice cold, however, she was still breathing. Her gaze was fixed on one spot, as if she wasnt moving at all now.

Kalena looked worried
"Alex, you may need to take X back to the academy....shes in coma....something the old me though was death...too much of herself was taken by 'him' and until its restored, she'll be like that." she said sadly then she looked at Amu and Ash

"you both have certainly grown in skill. I can tell that from just looking at you two....although.....something new....darkness....how?"

She looked at Ethan when he spoke to her
"Its been hard, m'love....I can hear Kelina giving everyone a hard time at the academy....everything in me wants to go back and stop her....but.....its hard enough to get around the house....i'll have to re establish the old forcefields which should buy us time if he comes after me again....which he will.....he always had....I still cant believe that a....a healer and a empath like him became....that.....its hard to believe....if Eric isnt careful....he may end up on the same path."

Ethan held out his hand releasing an orb of darkness, expanding quickly into a human shape

Ethxen stepped out in shackles around his hands and feet, rags torn around his body. He turned to Alex and clenched his fist snapping the shackles easily. "I see, my full presence, you must be desperate... I will join them to the academy." Ethxen smiled slightly walking slowly towards Alex. "Only darkness can overcome darkness."

Ethan turned from Ethxen to Kal and smiled. "I should've stayed with you, that was my bad... I should've stopped Kelina too but now I can do both, Drake will meet me here if he returns."

She sighed gently to Ethan and was a bit shocked then a bit sick immediatly as Ethxen appeared.

She looked at Ethan and nodded
"there is.....one way.....he wont be able to do any harm with his power....wear some sort of light weight metal under your clothing....catch him off guard....its what I do with Eric....he wears gloves all the time or he'd be doing what Drake's doing"
