━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Division Zero Captain ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
As Caelum entered the room and everything seemed to darken, Lloyd stood firm his expression dull and cold his attention now turned to only Caelum for a moment. He received a slight touch to his shoulder, a friendly greeting from his New lord, however friendly it may be, Lloyd knew not to be at complete ease in his presence. Lloyd Simply gave a slight nod of his head in acknowledgement. Caelum then took his seat and addressed the room, He introduced Lloyd and as he did so Lloyd gave a slight bow of his head. Left hand or Right, it didn't matter, he was a good hand to anyone who would be in need of it. It was now time for business . His eye's never once glancing in Caelums direction as he stood next to Caelum on his left side, however his eye's were gazing upon everyone else. Who would be the first to protest? who will be the first to speak up at all? who would be the first to dare ask Lord Caelum to get it over with? Or will they all be silent? These are the things Lloyd was waiting to see, for these simple things could tell him allot about ones followers. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

┏━━━━━━━━━┓ K i m Y u s i n Tercera Espada ┗━━━━━━━━━┛
It's not about how you live your life that makes you who you are...
Yusin watched as Castaeva entered to try and lighten the mood. Unfortunately Yusin was not much of a conversationalist and preferred to get straight to the point. He noted the presence of Lord Caelum entering and turned his head as he took a seat. Once he formally introduced the Captain of Division Zero to the present Espada, Yusin gave a bow of the head. He had felt another growing presence, not within the walls of Las Noches but outside. There appeared to be multiple sources of spiritual energy, powerful ones that might indicate another Captain as well perhaps two. There was another presence, but Yusin could not quite put his finger on what it was or who it belonged to. He turned to Fury and spoke before addressing Caelum. It is an honor to have you as an ally Sir Fury...But Lord Caelum, are the individuals who have entered Hueco Mundo's desert also allies? Or are they intruders that I should greet and show them the way out...
Caelum was not disappointed, His words taken smoothly without dispute. He did not wait much longer, however before continuing to speak. Just as He had said, there was more to this meeting than just Lloyd's introduction. In part He doubted that the two Espada aside from Castaeva would truly grasp what it meant for Lloyd to be of Division Zero, let alone the Head, but surely they would come to find out. However He did know, and knew all the better the moment He'd first shaken hands with the man. Within that room only Castaeva stood a chance against the strength of the Division Zero Captain, besides Himself. However none of this mattered presently. There was more important business to be addressed.
"It has come to My attention that the Shinigami intend to invade our home. It seems our inactivity has left them on edge, thus they wish to investigate our movements It would appear that we have been missed."With a touch of humour, the Deus spoke of the Captain's meeting that had taken place not long before in Soul Society. But, how could it be that He knew of this when it had so recently taken place? It was here after that Yusin spoke and Caelum's lips began their little dance into a small smile. He was half impressed that Yusin could sense them so far away, however then again, it would have been a bit difficult to miss such a spiritual mass of energy out in the desolate desert, despite the distance."Here they are now. There are three captains and, no, they are not allies. But do not be so quick to turn away our guests,"said He."If they wish to investigate, let them. It has been so long since we had guests, why not have them stay a while?"There was a darkness to His words surely not easily missed by His subordinates, just as their message was just as easily conveyed. But there was something else that He was aware of. And this faintly piqued His interest....
Turning His gaze to Castaeve, just to His right opposite the Primera's chair, He tilted His head just slightly."The Shinigami are familiar with you, are they not, Lady Castaeva? Why don't you keep the throne warm for Me, hm?"The concept was simple, Castaeva, a recognized ruler of Las Noches upon the throne would give the clear impression that she was still in charge. This wa one thing Caelum had respect for; the Shinigami had reason to fear Castaeva, they knew of her and how she could be. They would fear another conflict with her. Yet they would never be any the wiser of His rise, nor of His directives or intentions. They would come upon false information.This, too, would allow Him to move about freely. With a glance back at Lloyd, Caelum began before His eyes once more alighted upon Castaeva's comely visage."I am sure I can leave this in your able hands, can I not?"
With those words He had essentially effectively handed her the reigns, for the time being, to handle things as necessary. But...for what?
Likewise. But we no longer have time for that. Ths Shinigami are here on our lawn.

A small tennis ball size Gargantua appeared within the Primera's seat overlooking the group. The Gargantua, the signature of the Primera's Broadcasting room, emitted a spiritual pressure of pure annoyance and to what it pertained to was clear. Kurogane was awaiting orders as too what he was allowed to do next and what he should re-frame from doing.
A sound pulled Caelum's attention from the Lady Castaeva as it sprang to life within the Meeting Room and with it a tennis ball sized tear, a minute little Garganta, or something similar unique to the Broadcasting Room. The fact that it tore its existence into the space above the Primera Espada's chair was enough to make clear from whom it had originated, however were it unclear to anyone by simply that Cain's reiatsu soon came flooding forth from it to clear any suspicious or notions to the contrary. Caelum's sulfuric eyes turned upon the small tear that was the connection between Cain and the rest of his subordinates and spoke a greeting.
"Kurogane. I see our ever watchful guardian has taken notice of our guests. Since you are now awake you may join us here. Come to the Meeting Chamber."The Deus' almost sinister sulfuric eyes seemed to be practically aglow as the words finished leaving His lips. Thinking to Himself, He communed with Lloyd via La Marca."We move soon. You shall come with Me."

[Primera Espada][Sonya] [Cain Magnus Kage] __________________
Kurogane arrived at the Meeting room and made his way over to his seat without a word or as much of a glance to anyone, that was until he laid eyes on Sol. He bowed to Castaeva and the Sovereign as he then took his seat. "Yes, I am aware of what is going on out in the dunes currently. The ants are feeling antzy for a change. And as expected, they wouldn't send amateurs to scout out our paradise." His face scrunched up in disgust, "The nerve of those creatures to come to our lands uninvited."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Division Zero Captain ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
Lloyd heard Caelums telepathic thoughts and offered him a simple tilt of his head forward, as if to signify a bow of compliance. Soon after Kurogane appeared, at last another familiar face. Lloyd's eye's almost instantly set their cold gaze to the Primera and then he gave him a slight but respectful bow.
"Kurogane.......It would seem as though i have to agree with you for once, however their coming here shows us that they are desperate for answers and their sending not 1 but several Captain's shows us that they do not intend to take any risk.............But what about that other one....?"
Lloyd was speaking of course about the Quincy, for he too was keeping track of the various Spiritual energies that were around him. Each one told him a different story. He turned his head slightly to Caelum as if awaiting his next command. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

You wanna know something funny? My character here is the advancement form of original human rpc you know from the other guild.
~Kurogane~
[Primera Espada][Sonya] [Cain Magnus Kage] __________________
Kurogane smirked. "Ah yes, I almost forgot about the human. Though they have came uninvited at least they didn't come empty handed. They brought me a snack. It has been such a long time since I had Quincy. Thank you for reminding me, Sir Fury." He said calling Lloyd by his title. Something that marked as unusual as for Sir Fury was still a Shinigami. A creature of which, is no secret to all Espada, something he hates the utmost. So, why the title and acknowledgement at all? It was something that could simply be explained through a moment of memory of the past and of Kurogane's personal history. Something no one in the room, but Castaeva knows of. For you see, back when Kurogane was but a human, as well start off as, he sided with Hollows and the natural order of things. It was those events followed by some choice actions that led to the creature before them.
It is through this past that he can see some insight onto Sir Fury. He has sided on the side of righteousness and in the belief that the Shinigami have gone beyond themselves to think that they are the guardians of order. That THEY are the ones that says what is deemed correct in this world and what is deemed damnable. Of course, this is just idle assumption as Kurogane doesn't know exactly what Sir Fury's plans are, but understands it could possibly be somewhere along those lines. This wasn't something to be taken as blind trust, not in the least. Not to get it twisted for Kurogane didn't completely trust him, but there weren't many that Kurogane completely trusted in the first place. He wouldn't completely accept Sir Fury till he had ascended beyond the confines of Shinigami-hood and into the basking light that was known by their kind as the Abominations. Yes, THOSE abominations that Kurogane saw as creatures that have reached a level of Evolutionary Perfection.
Most people in the first glance at the Primera that is Kurogane would be one of an Egotistical annoyed idiot. That way of thinking is far from the truth as Kurogane was quite smart probably only second to Arianna which was probably why he loved her so much. He hated Shinigami because they simply wallowed in their arrogance. They looked at anything not of them with extreme prejudice. Mixing this level of prejudice and arrogance creates the laws and rules that was the Soul Society. The bout with the Quincies of old, with the Hollows of eternal, and Visoreds of present all marks to their prejudice that further fueled his hate for them. But, of course, this would only truly come out through an argument of semantics. Sad to say, that anyone caught taking the side of the shinigami would soon later if not immediately doing the discussion would face death makes for an discussion one shouldn't have.
Eyes of the Tigress. Gold blinked, revealing nothing but specks of warm sunsets stripped in a mask of facial tundra. The coldness that refined her features also came with unreadable expertise. And they were none warmer as they looked between each speaking member of the conference. Ultimately it concluded with a crisp warning, debriefing, and a small tactic of deceit. But was it not interesting to know that the Ruler of this Realm was now allied with a traitor to his own kind? In the past, Castaeva recalled this before where her primera had brought an interesting creature while the other brought a shinigami as a pet. It was amusing, but no matter what the master could paint a dog with, it will still be a dog. Yet Castaeva was not here to council the Lord, for he had his own crafts to make and scheme. The throne was but a heavy chair worth nothing as she learned since her leave.
And now the clever lord spoke of entrusting it in her care, after everything in lieu of some more shinigami dogs who still remembered her face. An old foolish king would be stingy and too proud to even bother going through with the effort. Too many old ties included--but not Castaeva. She may not appear as much now but centuries past, her vindication and hold was known to never shake even in the face of their most holy powers. There was no shame in masquerading another scene for her to be amused by. Young Lord Caelum was indeed a puzzling man to define, but to even guess at his intentions--ahh. A soft twinkle of mischief could nearly be seen that lasted no longer than a moments notice before she stopped gazing at him to respond with some deft riddle of an answer. "Will a lioness not crush the skull of another to protect her cubs?" She chuckled, essentially agreeing to in a sense before standing up. Her faint ghost of a smile resting on her dainty features as she would bid the rest farewell in order to wear the shoes she's long put away.
As she would leave to the door she would ruse to the rest to lighten their atmosphere some. A ploy, or a display of confidence in her given role of accepting the Lord Sovereign's favor. "Goodness, I must put my face on for these guests~" A doe's jab at playfulness. Mixing fire and oil was never a good sign and certainly the woman was a conundrum despite the male supremacy evident within these exquisite halls.
Shortly after Castaeva took her leave, the door to the throne room opened just enough to allow a shadowy figure to slip in soundlessly, as any good spider would. Enveloped in the shadows, Ilse would not have drawn any attention whatsoever by her entrance had the throne of her King not been directly facing the door. There was a whisper of woe her eyes, hidden deep beneath the fiery glimmer of pure bliss and euphoria that Ilse knew her King would recognize almost instantly – it was a sign, a sign that Ilse had indulged in the one thing that linked her present self to her past, a sign that Ilse had fed on her brethren to curb the bloodlust that had now receded into her inner unconscious.
Ilse made her presence known when she stepped out from the shadows. From under her hood, only the woman’s lips could be seen. A trail of fresh blood ran down from the corner, but with a slow and deliberate motion Ilse wiped the blood onto her finger. Her lips curled into a small, mischievous smile. Garbed in her usual black ensemble, there was only a minor alteration today – the snow white fur of what seemed to be her latest kill, originating from the upper half of the Hollow, and cut in such a way that it draped just over her shoulders in a shawl-like fashion. As she lowered her hood, Ilse ran a free hand through her fiery red hair, adjusting it so it fell over her shoulder in a neatly disheveled tangle.
”My King…” She began, kneeling beside the throne as she spoke to Caelum in a low, melodic whisper. ”I apologize for my tardiness… the deed is done.” Her eyes twinkled dangerously as she peered from her King onto the audience in attendance, a look of feigned surprise on her face. "A sight to behold, my lord... and only one man would have been able to bring both the Arrancar and the Shinigami together in unity."
The simple musing answer, a bit of rhetoric, from the lips of the tigress, Queen of the Pride, left the holder of pieces with the faintest of elegant smiles. With the taking of leave, the tactful touch of humour accompanying, the male awarded her with an inward smile marking a gentle inward laugh, or perhaps more accurately a chuckle, in appreciation of the play. From then on Caelum listened on with a visage of quiet composure, a tiny cordial smile playing at His lips, to the dialogue passing between the two subordinate males. His own thoughts were as the dark, mysterious and unknown, His eyes playing about doting upon each member in turn as they spoke as though He'd no care in the world, nor haste nor concern. Upon His lofty perch He but dipped His head as was appropriate where points were made as He listened to the speaking, statements of the obvious, little of substance. However naught escaped His attention, as forever of the sort was He. Not the mutual familiarity between Shinigami and Arrancar, and the particular Arrancar that it was at that, nor the shadowy amble through the dark of the room. Though the subtle touch of familiarity, and the lack of outright disgust, was interesting.
Caelum, surely, was the first to take notice of her, she who was near as His companion and slave, devoted follower whom He'd well kept these long years. To most she would likely be as the very shadows of the room. But she knew of the dark in which He'd resided; He was no stranger to shadow, nor did His eye falter under it. The sight of her brought forth the widening of His smile, if only marginal though it was, as did the little trail of crimson sap that trickled down her little chin. The sight of blood was always a pleasant thing, as was what it signified. It appeared that yet another fell to the seamstress' ways, made meal of by the delectable demon that was His Fraccion herself.
"Ilse, ma chere..." The words drifted down to her like a silken caress as His hand fell to take her chin. A simple greeting to she whom, of all people, He allowed, He chose, to serve Him. She even shared His quarters, from time to time. Not to say those times were always few or far between. A woman of her calibre and ability had more than a few uses and more than one service to offer. However the meager greeting was all that He offered her as His attention was soon thereafter returned to the gathered. He could sense by this point that the Lady Castaeva had wasted no time in setting about her business and His directive. Therefore it was time for Him and His army to do the same.
"Leave them,"He ordered, His words requiring not the slightest in specification. They were plenty sharp enough to grasp the subjects of his meaning. "For now....Our Lady Castaeva is at work...."With that the man with eyes like the pits of Tartarus gazed at His stalwart knight-with-ever-watchful-eyes and asked of him to do one of the things he did best."Keep watchful eye on our Lady and guard our palace, Kurogane. Stand by her side. Report to Me all that you see."Looking to the last two, His Tercera and Cuarta, now addressing all three, He orated simply"Make preparations for our guests."He gave a simple dismissal before rising from His perch, taking to His left to round His chair and collecting Lloyd as He did so, laying a light, seemingly innocent farewell tap to the shoulder of His Fraccion."Come with me..."He breathed to the Division Zero Captain before taking His leave.
Making His way from the chamber, Lloyd surely in tow, He began to instruct Him, tones low and steady meant only for the ears of His Left Hand.The Quincy...I have plans for her...."

Lloyd Vi Fury
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Division Zero Captain ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
What interesting individuals these Espada were, to each their own fine flavour and yet they all shared a similarity.....yes.First there was Kurogane, in the past this man would love nothing more than to kill a shinigami such as Lloyd but in the presence of his Lord he seemed to have put aside such thoughts for now. Then there was Castaeva, former Ruler. She was one that was not easily read and as it would be that is still the case, her reaction to Caelums orders was nothing short of good acting or could it be that she really was much more wiser than than he him self was willing to give her. Whatever the case she too will be watched, As she left the room Lloyd's attention was instantly brought to the shadows of the room. Then Ilse arrived with a fresh kill hung around her shoulders like a fashion statement as she existed those same shadows. Now this was the kind of thing he came to always expect to see from their kind, he had lost a brother to their madness and blood lust and vowed to kill the one that did. He succeeded of course and often wondered if they all deserved to be destroyed, the Shinigami included, yes the Shinigami, who presumed to be above all others, who killed their own to cover up their own faults, who seemed to seek power more than most. Lloyd now remembered why he was here, Lord Caelum, this man, He would be the only other entity worthy of his sword. Lloyd would strike down all who oppose Lord Caelum swiftly, may it be Shinigami or Anyone for that matter.
He watched as Lord Caelum addressed his subordinate, he treated her with such warmth and yet Lloyd could not help but wonder what purpose she served, surely she would have one, Lord Caelum wouldn't just let anyone by his side. Then Lord Caelum spoke to them " Leave Them " was his orders, no doubt this was directed towards Kurogane and him self, so after hearing those words Lloyd simply just gave a slight bow. he then countined to listen to his Lords words as he issued more orders to the remainder of his subordinates. He then called for Lloyd to follow and so without delay, Lloyd pulled his Zanpakutou from the ground with his right hand and placed it on his right shoulder as he followed Lord Caelum.Lord Caelum then spoke to him in a low tone " The Quincy...I have plans for her.... ". Those were his words. Lloyd's eye's focused on Caelum for a moment before he spoke in a calm manner, not even a hint of disapproval in his voice, his face remaining emotionless.
Walking yet on, anticipating to enact plans elsewhere, to act, Caelum sensed the Quincy suddenly appear within the walls of Las Noches. It appeared that someone had taken actions to transport her. If she came, twas a likely chance that the others could, and would, arrive shortly thereafter. This thought turned the Deus' head to gaze back at the man who served now at His side."Ensure she survives."Those were the last words Caelum spoke to Lloyd as they stepped through the halls knowing they would be enough before suddenly disappearing. Thus, with a buzz, He suddenly disappeared via execution of sonido. And He was gone.
