"Your always welcome Morganna." Riko said, sitting on the bed and looking at the pictures of her and Kessaris. "Me and Kessaris got into a fight. I don't know if he wants to be with me or not. But.. he has gone power hungry and... I can't stand up for him anymore. Oh well... come sit with me, Morganna." She scooted over on the bed and looked at her. "Alyss is having twins..." She said simply, a smile on her face. "Amazing what life can do?"

Morganna sat next to Riko. "Kess will come around," she said encouragingly. "And if he doesn't, then you're better off without him. But I am proud of you for standing up to him. You can be in love with someone, but it hurts you more to be with them like they are. Hopefully this will be the kick in the rear he needs to change. It might take some time, but he loves you. If he's as smart as I hope he is, he'll come around." She smiled at her and put an arm around her, hugging her for a moment. "So are you excited about being a big sister? How far along is she? I haven't seen Alyss in forever. Oh! Samara is going to have a baby, too. And from what I understand, she was able to tell Nephilis just before he died. It was a shame that he died, but at least he was able to die peacefully, with good news." Unlike her mother, she was trying to find the silver lining. Perhaps Lunia had rubbed off on her after all.

"I'd love that. And Samara," called to her. "Stay strong for us. Stay you." He said cryptically, almost out of body. Kessaris looks down, fully awar of what he said and sighs. He thought about bringing Neph back, but he couldn't do it. He didn't understand death enough to do it, plus, Neph was auraless. He needed to recharge his aura, but that's not possible with no aura. "Yeah..."

Samara nodded. "Thanks," she said. "I will. And you do the same. I know you'll be going through a lot when you take over Shale. Just know that we're here for you. Don't let things overwhelm you or change who you are, okay?"

"I won't. I promise." Kessaris looks forward and smirks in the sunlight. "Don't let things overwhelm you. I've read the rulebooks and it looks like you take Neph's place, unless Riko becomes a succesor. Then...she'll be here I guess."

Samara hugged herself a bit. "Well...we'll take it a day at a time and see what she wants to do," she said. "I'll be taking care of Tenshu as long as I'm needed. If it is not her desire to take Tenshu, then Tenshi I'm sure would be more than happy to step up in his father's place." She meant that in a dual meaning as well-- his father, Tsuki had been ruler even before Nephilis. But Neph was a father to him as well.

Keliah looked at Alastor. "Nice...and the day Kessaris tries to take the throne...I'll be there personally to make sure there is no such thing as Shale anymore...nothing but desert" she told him with a smile.
Jean listened as Yumiko's words flew into her sould. She looked at her and nodded. "Yes...I suppose you're right" she told her. "Twins...seems as if they run in the family, but then again when I was pregnant, I was exposed to the celestial stone...if it wasnt for that, I doubt any of this would be taking place" she told Yumiko. "....everything is just a blur right now....All I want to see is Marcove Shale dying...that's all I ask" she told her.

Tenshi nodded hearing his mothers words and walked off to the grassy plains where he and Tezu trained over the years he had left home. "We have lost to many family members and allies." He stated calmly speaking of Nephilis and Tezu being his family. " I need to step up and protect the rest of my family, and with Nephilis leaving to a better place there is a chance of me becoming the next next ruler." He stated thinking of the responsibility he would have to take on. " Well, I will no longer sit around while my friends and family suffer, and engage in these intense and life threating battles." He spoke looking up at the sky speaking to those he has lost. He took the moment to think on the future and the present.

(I wrote what i want to read out at the funeral.. it took me about half an hour to write haha xD)
Lunia stopped when Flip said that he meant he loved her, she smiled to herself and then continued walking. Holding onto her arm she walked and walked, tears still dripping from her eyes. She came out of the little forest she had just walked through and came to a cliff edge, walking over to it she looked over the edge to see it wass extremely steep, making her sigh. "Sometimes i just want to jump off... accept my death... be with you..." she said to herself, as she looked into the sky, placing her hand up, feeling like she could just touch Nephilis. "You left too soon... dad..." she said, before she started writing down her speech she had revised over for the funeral.

"A couple of months... I think... but I guess so... I highly doubt he will come around soon. Thats why Alyss wanted me to wait till I was eighteen to come home. Thing is I just want to be helpful some place and at home... I'm not. Plus I already read everything in the library." Riko giggles out and hugs her friend, sighing a little. "I can't believe we lost Keliah. It seemed like only yesterday we were all laughing together."
~~~
"Well then... I guess you fighting against him will be just the way you want it." Yumiko sighed a little, looking at her. "Be careful, Niece... I didn't lock myself in a book for nothing." She whispered, hugging her one more time before disappearing back to Alastor.

Morganna nodded and sighed. "I know. We've lost a lot of others, too. Sometimes I wonder if it will ever end," she said. "But right now, let's just focus on having you here. Since I've been spending so much more time here, I can definitely tell you, it'll be great to have you around," she said happily. "And Samara will surely find a place for you here. Nephilis amassed quite a library, so maybe you can find some things here that you haven't read."

Amara had been walking through the ruins, finding a cave...the same cave Tezu found many years ago. It's properties had deteriorated over the years though, so she kept her senses. She walked deeper, flickering her wrist casting a light, looking at inscriptions. Her eyes widened. "So...that's what Alastor wants...a seat in the Celestial Kingdom" she said.
Jean looked as Yumiko lefet her. She turned around as she began to fly over the planet once more. "I hate you Marcove Shale" she said to herself.
Rydia continued to walk, finding a small place to sit down as her skin was now soaked. She looked upwards as her short hair was now flowing near her eyes. She had to get it together.

Lilium sensed where Marcove was. As a celestial Lilium's ability to track others had heightened, it was even easier to locate those of her own kind. "Tenshu" she breathed out so that Chelan would know where exactly they were headed. The nation was coming into view now.
Chelan nodded at Lilium's word. She wondered what had happened while they were away. She hoped she was ready for the battle that was coming. She too could sense the aura's of Marcove and Kessaris but barely. Chelan and Lilium slowed as the others came into view. When they landed Chelan stayed where she was as Lilium jogged over to Marcove. She could hear them for she wasn't too far away.
"How are things?" Lilium asked Marcove when she caught up to him. While away they had both been completely cut off from the world they would've seemed nonexistant to any one else.

"Things are worse than before...and please, there is something I need to tell you." Marcove looks over to her with eyes of remorse. "Lillium, what happened between us so long ago...was a mistake okay?" He looks away. "Because of my choices, Jean and my daughter hate me, and I can understand, so please, just understand that what I did before we became Celestials was to ensure the safety of my children, not because I loved you." The words had poured from him like a faucet and even he didn't know they did until he finished.

Lilium blinked for a moment. She was taken about by his words. She suddeny was hit with a wave of emotions all intense all running together like a blur. She didn't speak for a moment. Lilium nodded bting her lip. "Ok" she said simply the ring of emptiness was prominant. Like her sister she'd rather be cold than feel emotional pain.
Chelan flinched. She could sense the change in Lilium. THeir connection was stronger because of the dragon water they shared. She took a step back then decided to find the others. THey were somewhere near were she was at the moment.
