Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ayiana blinked and flew to the ground as she saw it land then circled it a few times and wrapped on it with her knuckles. "Hmmm..." She wracked her brain for anything. "Lessee...ummm...Ah!" She found the manual controls on the side. Then looking to D she spoke. "Her soul still on ya?" The soul would still be on Draeken's ring finger. As soon as he replied, Ayiana walked over to him, and took his hand, slipping the soul from his finger as if it were a ring in its'self She moved towards the continer and held it to the glass, saying something in Hylden. She then messed around with the controls to open the continer.

Draeken's mind of course was very receptive to telepathy and when Phia's memories hit him, he nearly fell backwards, hands to his head. As the final memory came to him, he began to cry and forced himself to hold onto that memory for as long as possible. Forced himself to feel that pain for as long as possible before he had no choice but to let it fade.

On his knee's now, he looked up at the container, at Phia. His eyes were full of tears, but also hope and strained happiness. "Phia?"

Phia smiled softly. She nodded "It wasn't ye...I know tha' I dun blame ye fer wha' 'append. I've miss'd ye too Love..." She took his coat from his shoulders and wrapped it around herself, then studied him for a moment, running her fingers through his hair. "Ye looked so different..." She looked to Ayiana. "An' ye...ye ar' very different."

.:: Ayiana shuffled awkwardly. She looked up. "It's me...Aria... Just fused with Aethi. I quit smoking too... But...like this...I'm Ayiana..." She said quietly, she was chewing on her lip holding back. ::.

Phia smirked at the name. "Ayiana... my middle name..." Slowly things were clicking with Phia. "Wait? You quit!?" She grinned wildly. "Tha's great!!" Phia stepped towards Ayiana and grabbed her into a hug.

.:: It was at this point that Ayiana broke down and buried her head into Phia's shoulder. "Mommy! I've missed ye so much!" ::.

Phia stroked Ayiana's hair and smiled. "Shhh...I'm sorry fer leavin' ye love...I'm so sorry..." She kissed the top of Ayiana's head then looked to D. "I'm sorry" She mouthed to him. Why would be a mystery to him.

Often things come to those whom wait however it seemed for Relinth his patient silence was not going to pay off. He was growing restless of waiting for someone to appear. He pushed off the wall and walked toward the middle of the room. He figured asking a few questions couldn't hurt to much.

"Have any of you seen a Vampire around here by the name of Tyrsais Himura?"

"The reason I look different is because while I was on my little rampage, I managed to merge myself with Truinthil and Old D. No good came of that for a while I will admit. I hope to be back to normal soon." When Phia began commenting on Ayiana, Draeken grinned. "I helped those two with that. I think it was Aethi's idea actually. A smart girl she is."

Phia's mouthing of 'I'm sorry' truly did baffle him, though. He was the one that was supposed to be sorry. What reason did she have to be sorry? He blinked confusedly and tilted his head.

On the upper floor of the Dojo, a figure stirred. The figure yawned and glancing at the window and the position of the sun, muttered that it was probably time to wake up. The man sat up and began putting on his normal clothes. Though he had not been seen around the Dojo for qite a while, Derrek Zahron was still in residence here. Without the Academy, this was really the one place that he had to stay. He had spent days studying the orb given to him by Draeken and had learned many of its secrets, though by no means all of them. Now he was able to see the Binding Strands, as he called the subtle forces that held reality in place, without touching the Orb. Before being given the orb, his binding had been limited to very mundane affairs. He could have sealed a door to the frame to prevent entry or strengthened the integrity of an object by forcing it to stay bound together. Now, however, his magic had raised itself to a new type of binding. The more metaphysical, mental bindings. This included spheres of magics such as mystic seals, putting someone under a gaes, or some modification and manipulation of natural laws (which were themselves binding forces).

Derrek left his room for the first time in a while, making his way outside of the Dojo to get some exercize. Once he emerged, he saw before him a figure who'd been absent for quite a while. Draeken, the one who'd given him the orb. He'd also mentioned something about there being a sister orb. Derrek made his way towards the group, waving to Draeken as he walked.
