Welcome to Gaia! ::

Groaning, Kalore nodded, "Ain't that the truth..." Soon the two were quickly heading over to Ellwood, but in a different way. It wasn't the way to the capital, but the way to Mage's Tower. The place of Lord Kyin. After about two hours, they were in the front of it. "That took a lot less trouble than it could've..." Sighing, he knocked on the great door to the large twisting tower.

Eldin glanced over at Monty with larger than normal eyes but soon went back to beating Hans. Ivan was kicking both of their hides though... "No fair!" Eldin pouted as he died, but at least he took Hans down with him.

Chuckling, Kalore nodded but didn't say anything as Rave opened the door. "Hey." Nodding to them, he led the duo up the flight of stairs and showed them into the circular top floor of the tower. "Ah! Welcome!" Kalore looked at Kyin with a curt nod. "Hello, Lord Kyin." The other man sighed. "You know you don't have to call me that..." Kalore closed his eyes, "Hello grandfather."

Eldin twitched slightly and took one finger and poked Ivan in one of his pressure points in his side, making the other man collapse. "Don't get cocky..." Being a master in the medical field was really awesome...

Eldin shrugged, "Of course. He'll be up in less than a minute." His lack of concern was shown when he picked the controller back up and started playing. "I hit something that is really only used to mess with the muscles. All of the major pressure points are fifty-fifty." Glancing at Monty, he spoke evenly. "And do you really think I'm stupid enough to damage a teammate while I'm under watch? Come on..."

Kyin smiled but Kalore kept a straight and even face. "Yes. Kalore is my grandson. I hav-" "What do you need to tell us, Sir?" Kyin sighed but spoke. "There are only a few Druids that would be able to have done this. I have all of them on watch, but there are still some out there that we haven't found. As for finding Ziggy...When you search for him, know this. Lucien is a horrible man. Ziggy's body will be fine because of his regeneration, and if he was wanted dead, he wouldn't have been kidnapped. If you find him...When you find him...Don't go straight for him. There will be a trap. Call for back up immediately, do I make myself clear?" Kalore nodded.

Kyin shook his head, "Not me. Call Gambler. Rave shall call her and she will have to decide what she wants done for that. Anything else? Do you need any medication, Sir Joker?" He noticed the twitching and was curious.

Giving Monty a blank stare, he spoke softly, "What a shame..." Looking at Ivan, he grinned. "Sure. It's just pressure points." A grin was on his face as he pointed to the spot on Ivan, but this time applying no pressure so it had no effect. "All that happens is that you collapse and your body paralyzes for about thirty seconds. Sometimes a little more, but never more than a minute."

Giving the man a smile, Kyin nodded, "Alright. Just remember what I told you and may the Goddess be with you." "And with you..." Reciting the normal reply to that, Kalore led Joker out the door and headed to the castle. "Stay close and don't make a sound until we get to Dusk's old room, got it?"

Eldin shrugged, hiding a grin, "Sure." Pressure points weren't the only thing that he could do. Playing the game, he grinned as Ivan was finally defeated, "Oh yeah! You have been dethroned!" There was a huge grin on the boy's face, easily ignoring Monty. As long as there was someone in between him and the demon, he was fine.

Snickering, Eldin and Hans high fived and then he smiled. "Wanna try again, or play a different game?" He wasn't one to gloat for too long, just long enough to be happy about something and then Eldin moved on.

Kalore nodded and led the man through the capital, narrowing avoiding the guards multiple times. Once they got to the top of her tower though, Kalore looked around before nodding. "I've gotta say that it's creepy...this room hasn't changed in over a century...they even kept it dusted..." Sighing, he continued. "This was where the trail ended. Rave wants us to look around and see if there's some trap door or something."

Eldin smirked, "Sure, Ivan...Sure."

The elf looked around, trying to find some other clue, anything. The scent and the pull was here, but he couldn't find anything else. "I don't understand..." He looked around again, checking every nook and cranny of the place, but Kalore couldn't find anything. "It ends here...But there's nothing...Did you find anything?"

It was dark where Ziggy was, but he didn't know if it was the darkness or the blinding pain that was causing it. A gasp as another pain ripped through him, but soon whatever damage was done was fixed. "Wh-What's going...on...?" There was a slight chuckle, but the only answer that the blue haired man got was another pain.

Dusk was pacing. "He's not back yet..." "Calm down calm down...Doing that doesn't help anyone, Dusk." "I don't care!" She turned around quickly, facing Kai. "Do we seriously not have anymore leads!?" He sighed, and shook his head, "All of them lead to Ellwood. That blond guy and the other elf are working on this, but there's not much we can do. Just rest up...Okay?" While the two bickered for a moment, Ali and James came out. "James had an idea..." Talon was the one to answer her, "Hm? What is it, James?" The boy didn't answer, so Ali did. "We can ask Zaine. We think that we can get to him again."

"Nothing!" Kalore growled as he leaned on a bookcase, but soon was biting back a shocked sound as it moved and he was falling backwards. "s**t!" Quickly he grabbed onto the wall to keep from falling the twenty feet that was below him, "What the hell?!" He had to fight a little to get back up, but when he did, Kalore checked around the room to see if anyone had heard the sound. No one seemed to because no one was coming up. "Well...I think I found something..."
