Welcome to Gaia! ::

{{You mean that Ever is actually winning against Aphrodite for once?! Call the presses!!! biggrin And I've tried turn-based RPing before, and it actually gets more confusing. It works best if you just put the name of the character you're doing actions toward in your post, from my experience.}}

Ever looked down at Altan and nodded. "Okay, you run ahead and we'll follow. Don't worry, we'll keep up. I'll use the shadows to carry Aurora and me forward quickly."

She looked at Aurora in question, hoping she didn't mind that suggestion.

((gggaaahhhh i hate you allllllllll!!!!!!! joking lol))

Akira had kept quiet, but had been slashing away at Musica, blue light flying all over with the speed she was using, healing his horrible wound and gashes with her healing claws, especially the nasty hit on his head. The exhausted Demi-God would feel that wonderful cooling sensation all over his body practically as he healed quickly.

By the time she was done, Akira was a little out of breath from using both hands, but thankfully the food she'd eaten earlier helped greatly and she'd be fine very soon.

"There, good to go, Musica!" she huffed, stretching. Man, following a Demi-God around was tough work!

Her ears twitched lightly as she frowned. Arguing obviously wasn't going to get them anywhere...but she had a feeling it just had to be said.

She called down Kilala, who came immediately (how she did that was beyond Akira), and catching Ari's scent, Akira jumped on Kilala's back as the Demonic feline grew.

"Well track her by air! Ever, you coming? Altan's not the only one with a keen sense of smell!!!"

Nikolaus looked down at Ari with hollow eyes. "Don't worry about my son, this body will be of no use to me once I gain what I want. I think you should be a bit more concerned with yourself." He ignored the tiny pulse he felt in the back of his mind, knowing it was Tyler fighting him weakly. Nikolaus didn't violently push him back like he would Musica, but he did keep him well suppressed.

((I didn't see her post when I typed mine and definitely wasn't predicting her to say the same as Evermore. Sorry for that brief confusion >.> ))

Samantha had woken up alone in Nessie's room, and immediately after doing so she got up and cleaned up as best she could with what she had. After doing so she walked quickly down the hallway to the infirmary to see Nessie. Sneaking in without the nurses there she went to her room and looked in. She was still asleep. Pulling up in a chair she sat down next to her and waited for her to wake up.

{{Actually, Ever would have had a different reaction than Aphrodite. It would have been a little shocking!}}

Ever watched with wide eyes as Aurora took off after Altan quickly. She quickly got up on Kilala's back and Raven nestled herself in Kilala's hair so that she wouldn't get blown off when the cat started to run.

"Thanks Akira. Basically, Ari is in trouble. She thinks she's in love with Musica."

She rolled her eyes and nodded. "I know, crazy, right? Way too soon. Well, anyway, her love for him got her in trouble and I think Nikolous has her now. He's in Tyler's body, I think. Altan can track Ari's scent."

{{lol. Ok. She was going to hug him. She would have seen his tears and remembered how he had been the previous night, how vulnerable and sad he had been when remembering his mother. She would have immediately hugged him, despite the words he had used, and Ever usually doesn't let her softer emotions show too often.}}

Akira nodded and Kilala took off, leaping into the air and flew as quickly as if were running on the ground, maybe even faster. Since the Demonic feline had no wings, the bright flames on her paws helped her stay a float, but she continued to move as if she were running, which allowed her to fly super quickly.

Akira looked back to Ever, frowning and worry shinning in her determined sapphire eyes.

"Ya...Well, looks like love at first site, i guess...I hope Ari's gonna be ok until we get there...I can't bear the thought of us being too late..."

Her eyes widened though, at the mention of Tyler. She replied in disbelief, "Say WHAT!? Oh come on...I like that guy...We gotta save him!! That stupid Nik is like freaken poison!! If he's in Ty's body too long...s**t!!"

Kilala flew faster, hearing the urgency in her master's voice.

Shaking her head, she wondered why her heart beat was pounding loudly at the thought of Tyler dying, a horrible though really, but should her heart really be acting up...?

"Anyways...Might as well take the time we have now to keep filling me in, right? Then, since we won't end up at the room anytime soon...I'll tell you now what i was suppose to tell you in there, ok? You first though! By the way...This relic thing...It can really kill Gods and Goddess' huh...Freaky stuff...We definitely gotta protect it!!"
Then, Kilala remined Evermore with a grin, "Yes, Altan can, but you know, so can Akira and I, of course! I'm following Ari's scent right now, though it's extremely faint. We've got a long way to go before catching up to the girl. However, the boy's tainted body's scent also clings close to Ari's as well, which makes it even easier to follow."

"Ok then, it's a one sided love at first site!!!" Akira teased and then read the confusing in her best friend's eyes, probably about her liking Tyler comment. Immediately, she blushed lightly and smiled, replying, "Silly Ever, i like him as a friend only! I barely know the guy!!...But i screwed up royally in front of him before, so...Ya, if anything, it's gonna be an awkward friendship...If we save him in time, that is..."

Shaking her head to rid herself of those morbid thoughts from her mind and to ease the pain in her heart, she said, thinking, "Ok, well i think you told me all there is to know about the Relic...But i was hoping you'd fill me in on how you got those hand-prints on your face and the other little bruises along your neck and shoulders!! And...Did something happened with Ares? I mean afterwards, when Kilala went to see you."
