Welcome to Gaia! ::

(I'm back. I was busy last week)

Vox looked at Ceren with an unchanged face. "And who is this young women here?" Vox said raising a hand possibly about to cast a spell. "State your business human." He took another step forward.

((I'm not exactly sure where you were... but I guess we should wrap this one up soon-ish without Stealthy Spyder... even though it's not going in the right direction to finish...))

Back in Raiden's apartment, Alayah could almost feel the tension of what was happening without her. In all honesty, she was a bit selfish, and wanted to be part of the action. She just knew that they were having some sort of battle without her... And so, she made up her mind, and without a word, she rushed out of the door and down the street. It was true that she felt a twinge of guilt for abandoning Raiden, but it was her own selfish ways that prevailed. Also, there was also some strange familiar aura arising from the distance. She didn't like it.

Alayah arrived at the scene, panting slightly. On top of the asphalt of a back alleyway, a horrendous sight met her eyes. First of all, there were two demons; one of which was new. The other was Minixi. Not too far from them was a boy sitting on the ground, trembling. There was a familiar looking girl standing over him. Alayah was sure that she had seen this girl before... but maybe they hadn't been introduced?

Minixi glared at the other two. It had been such a nice reunion; she hated to ruin it with a fight. But it looked like it couldn't be helped. Unless she went back to the Center...
Minixi was hoping she could take the boy's demon back underground quietly, with no one noticing. "Well Vox... what does it really have to do with us...?" she tried, "I mean... they're beneath us anyway... We could always go back to the Middle. I could introduce you to more demons. I know lots down there..." Minixi made one last attempt to lead him to the Middle of the earth. This was the home-base of the demons; right between the Crust and the Center.

((long post much? lol I had to do a bit of a recap))

(( I... guess I'll just try to continue...))

"Oh forget this." Lance said. Quickly getting in front of Vox, although not quite knowing the name of the demon, he looked at Minixi with fierce eyes. And then he lunged, sword in front with his fist ready for a follow up punch of his claws.

As Lance watched Minixi take, what he thought was Clyth, towards the concrete, he was too afraid to grab on. After they had disappeared from sight, he ran back towards the apartment of Raiden's. He saw Alayah and when he passed her he motioned for her to follow with the nod of his head. He continued on until the corner where he stopped abruptly and had spin around to keep his balance. He looked at Ceren and asked "You coming too?" He was focused on getting to where ever Minixi took Clyth. As he began to turn, he awaited a response.

Ceren looked surprised. She took a phone out from her bag and handed it to the boy and smiled.
"If you don't have anywhere to go, then you can go to my parent's place. Just hold down this first button, and they'll answer. I'll be going."
The boy nodded and broke into a sprint.
She turned to Lance,
"I'll go."

Lance nodded a Ceren and turned to Alayah. He tilted his head to the side slightly, meaning to question whether she was coming or not. "Well? Clyth isn't gonna get back here himself the way he's looking." He said. As he turned again and began taking slow, long steps, he solemnly swore to himself that he would get back his longest time friend back no matter what'll happen. And he knew just how to do it...
