Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Sorry it took me so long to post!))

"Shockingly, yes." Banshi said, running her hand through her hair, turning to face Kago. "There were other options... but none of them were acceptable." Pausing, the serious look on her face once again grew dimmer. "Listen... they are out to kill us off now, all of us. No mercy on their part, and no mercy on ours. That is the settlement, and I refuse to allow for them to think weak of us. Pride is a right we have swallowed all of our existance, it is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees... and it is not right for us to go into submission or to avoid certain clans any longer for the sake of keeping a false peace, just a nice mask for the republic of humans to see."

Okro walked into the cathedral. Obviously these people were busy. "Excuse me, I'm only going to take a minute. I am looking for a girl named, um, Glory? Glory Sierra? Have you met, seen, or even heard of her? If you have any information I would appreciate it..." He said quickly.

Okaro Gasped. "So, She's real? Oh geese, after all this searching..." He nodded quickly. "Thank you so much. How can I repay you?" He thought a moment. Then he nodded to himself. "Here. Take this. It is one of two. It can call any animal within a certain area. It also makes it so you can share their strength, feel what they do, etc. My sister is rumored to have been supposed to have the other one when my mother died but... I don't know that she ever did." He handed the man a pendant, and ran out before he could give it back.

Banshi nodded, agreeing. Looking towards the exist, she placed her hand on Michael's shoulder, giving a short gentle squeeze. Although she was about to go talk to Viktor, breaking the news alone, she showed no hesitation, no fear, and no concern. Just strength, and an air of certainty, like everything was going to be alright. "You're right, Michael. Off I go then.... and you and Hawk need to take care of everything and everyone, alright? I demand it." She winked, then went back to being serious. Putting her hands in her pockets, Banshi turned and started walking away. "Seriously... and this little trip of mine should not take long, so hurry with your jobs, k?" With that, she exited.

Nike knelt at the alter, her skirts folding elegantly as she pressed her clasped hands to her forhead.. her brown hair falling over her shoulders in charming waves. She never shared this form, her birth appearance.. but she never entered this church as anything but herself. opening her eyes she stood, trailing one delicate hand over the alters edge sadly as her crystaline blue eyes started to shimmer with tears. " War has started, I fear for my father and those that serve him.. He has just returned, I do not wish to loose him again." It was petty, crying like this.. and speaking to a human's supersition as if it would help her.. but she always came here to talk out her problems or thoughts, and the habit proved too hard to break. It didnt matter if no one heard her because, in truth, it was better that way.. this side of herself did not exist beyond the church walls.

Her father had never seen the real her, no one but Aunt Bain ever had.. and the thought made her heart squeeze.. a tear slid down her cheek as she closed her eyes, leaning back against a pillar as she fought to keep herself quiet. She had to find her aunt, this.. crying.. could wait.

Hearing his steps she swiped at her cheek quickly, fliping around so he could only see her back as she attempted to right herself. She knew she was being fallowed here of late, but he had never came into the church that she knew of. It was a dim hope, but maybe.. he would not know who she was? Ducking behind the pillar she pretended to study the stained window, her shoulders inching up as she tried to be aloof. He sent William? no wonder she hadnt been able to shake her shadower. she continued to admire the windows as she traced a careful path towards the back area, her mind centered on getting out of sight so she could change her appearance safely.

" He does not have time, not yet." She was well and truely caught, and she knew it.. there was no use or reason to play coy. She was a fool to think she could escape notice in this form, she looked almost exactly like her father. pushing her hair behind her ear she turned towards him, her gaze and tone steady as she asked. " I cant stand back anymore, and in truth i no longer wish to. How long have you been fallowing me, William?"

Her chin snapped up, a habit she gained from her aunt Bain, as she looked to the side. Some of the things she had done.. she wanted to forget. " Three years? I am sorry, then.. I would have prefered to be alone during some of those ventures." Pulling her hair over her shoulder she finger combed it distractedly, turning her back on him as she spoke to herself quietly. " It is time to tell him, i think.. after tonight, it will be done anyway. go home, William."
