Welcome to Gaia! ::

"No! That cannot happen." Liliana said as she shook her head. She looked up when she sensed the others arriving. She knew they would not see any of them right away as they were hidden by trees. She stood up quickly and went to where the others could see her as she waved her hand. "Over here! Quickly." She disappeared again to be by her friend's side. "Hang on Lorelei...we're going to get this figured out. You're going to be okay," she said softly.

Rosalyn disappeared and reappeared by her granddaughter, her hand resting lightly over the girl's chest. She closed her eyes as she took a deep breath. She knew exactly what had been done and she shuddered as her body went rigged. "They are below...they have taken it below." She had not been back since she had broken out all those years ago. Who could have organized this? Both her brother and her father were long gone; vanquished right around the time Lorelei and Tasuil were born.

"Liliana take Lorelei back to the house." Rosalyn said as she looked over to the girl. When she saw her about to protest she held up her hand. "Even though her crystal is gone she needs someone to keep her grounded here. Out of all of you guys, you and Aelina are the two most connected wither Lorelei. Aside from her brother and Ren of course. Seeing as Ren is itching to get his hands on whoever did this and our other two are missing in action...you are our next logical choice."

Liliana took a deep breath and nodded. "You're right." She turned to Hisuki and touched his face gently. "You find who did this," she said softly. "And you guys make them pay." She kissed him lightly. "If you need me...think of me. I will lend you my strength." She moved back over to Lorelei, kneeling next to her. She looked up at the others and was gone along with Lorelei.

"You think they would have learned from what happened the last time someone messed with us," Rosalyn said as the ground began to shake and a hole opened up not too far from them. It was one of the many ways into the underworld. She still had access and the ability to get to and open the portals. "Let's get a move on then. I will not leave my granddaughter in that state." She knew that the longer Lorelei stayed like she was, the more likely there would be lasting damage. She moved quickly, disappearing down the hole.

Clarissa let out a deep breath as she looked to Jaisyn. Who would have ever thought she would come into this type of world. Before she had only worried about what her father was doing, and how he was ruining all of their lives. "Let's go before this gets worse." She could feel the anger and hurt among all of them. One of their own had been taken, and that was definitely the wrong thing to do to this family.

Rosalyn stiffened slightly as she landed underground. It had been too long since she had been down here. But everything was the same. The smell, the heat...everything. Her eyes glowed red as she looked around. Her nostrils flared as she took a deep breath. This had once been a place she lived and then had been held captive. It still sent goosebumps up and down her arms. "Everything's jumbled...I ...it's hard to get a fix..." She reached her hand forward to stop the young woman from going ahead of her, but the green glow from Clarissa's scepter stopped her; not to mention the look the girl shot her.

Clarissa was finding it easier and easier to keep up with the others. She had descended down into the whole once everyone else was in. She felt a sense of lethargy settling over the group, but she herself shook it off. She stepped in front of Rosalyn and as the woman reached for her she shot her a look, the scepter in her hand glowing. The green flared out, washing over all of them so the lethargic feeling went away. "I can feel it. Follow me." It was rare, even for a white witch to be able to sense someone else's crystal when it wasn't within them. She turned and began walking, not waiting for the others.

Clarissa dodged aside as one of the demons flew at her. She was slowly becoming used to how quickly she could really move. She spun towards the demon, her scepter touching it's forehead. "Away," she said, her voice seeming to echo around them. She did not know how she knew how to do this...it just came to her. The demon screamed, shaking as it landed on its knees. A brilliant light shone from the demon's eyes, mouth and ears before it exploded.

Rosalyn shifted, disappearing from where she had been standing moments before and appearing behind one of the demons that had shown up. She had come into contact with them before. Her hand touched the demon's back and it began to smoke. No matter what it tried it could not move from its spot. It screamed a high pitched wail before disintegrating into dust. "More will come. They always do."

"Time is different down here. It moves faster; or seems to." Rosalyn said as she lobed a dark ball of energy at one of the fleeing people. It caught the man in the back, causing him to convulse and seem to crumple in on himself as he disappeared. He was not dead, but sent to a realm of unimaginable horror. It was not something that she used often.

"Thanks," Clarissa said with a nod to Hisuki as he stopped the demon from landing on her. She winced as she heard a shout in her head. She didn't quite here it, but by the look on Hisuki's face he had definitely heard what was said.

"Get back soon!" Liliana shouted in all of their minds. "She's having trouble breathing! Nothing is helping!"

Liliana didn't' know how she had done it, but she had opened a portal where the others were and yanked them back into the safe house. She was shaking and pale, holding herself up by placing her hand against the wall. That had taken a lot of energy without her even realizing it. In the room that she had brought them into Lorelei lay on the bed, her chest heaving up and down, small gasps coming out from between her lips. "Please...get it back to her." She was looking straight at Kara as she spoke, seeing as she was holding Lorelei's crystal in her hands. She looked around. "Where's Hisuki?" Liliana let out a sigh of relief when Rosalyn returned with Hisuki.

Rosalyn looked around and sighed. "Kara get that crystal back to Lorelei. I'll get Hisuki." She disappeared on moments later returned with Hisuki. "See safe and sound."

Clarissa walked over to where Lorelei lay, placing her hand over her chest. "Quickly now. I feel her fading fast." She said as she looked over her shoulder at Kara.
