Welcome to Gaia! ::

....I may have run into him on a few occasions. *Zero was rather intrigued by Relinth's energy, though he kept a straight face to keep from showing weakness* Next question?

Hmm.... *Zero grabbed the end of one of the bandages over his eyes, and pulled it tighter before tucking it back under the others* Well I'm not too sure where he is right now....as for more information, you're probably best off asking TJ or Draeken Aakarshan.

Allies....allies....I can only think of two, and they're wild guesses. There's always Mastema, and then there's that guy that cut off my arm for no apparent reason...I think his name was Orias. He was cold to the touch, he was. Didn't seem too smart though. Anyway, they're the only two I can think of. Is there anything else?

Upon the mention of the name Mastema, Relinth twitched just slightly. His hands balled up into fists. Things were never as easy as they should be and that news didn't bode well for something Relinth had suspected. As for this Orias person it was certainly something more to look into.

"Alright so how do you percieve the world without your sight..."

After a short while, Hayat turned from the wall he had been staring at. He was amazed at how strong this building really was. But he had taken to long admiring it. He moved to and up the stairs to the second floor. He there paced down the walkway, looking for a place in which he could rest.

Derrek was caught a bit off guard by this. He'd heard the basic facts about Draeken's total binding and had known it was applied to snother person, but couldn't remember anything about him wishing to disconnect himself. This was a bit...unexpected. The binding was so well done, it would be a real pity to destroy it.

"Yes, I have been practicing with the orb quite a bit. It's drastically changed my magic and perceptions. You had mentioned something about another orb. I don't exactly know why you want to revoke such a masterfully done binding, but if it's going to be possible for me, I might need to get my hands on that orb. The one you gave me related more to the binding together of forces. If I'm correct, the sister orb relates to unbinding, right?"

Ka'rinth stretched slowly, breaking the stance he had assumed for the first time in hours. To most he would have seemed to have simply been standing and meditating, anyone that did perceive energy however would have seen dark energy slowly welling up within him. Ka'rinth had been focusing intensely on his emotions to create the negative energy that fueled his magic and his body. He focused on his anger, his hatred, rage, and the sorrow that fueled the others constantly. The build up of energy had been gradual but was strengthening. Finally his eyes opened slowly, glowing a much brighter red than when he had entered the room. His breathing was deep as he relaxed his body and took a moment to prepare for the next phase of his training.

After several minutes he was prepared to actually begin with the training he had traveled so far to start. As he took up a simple fighting stance with his left foot forward and the knee bent slightly while his right foot remained in place but the knee also bent. His left hand extended so that it was at shoulder height with the arm fully extended and his hand open, his right hand was bent at the elbow so that the fingers of the hand were even with the left elbow. His eyes shifted slightly and the room disappeared to him, currently he saw nothing in the world other than dark energy, an energy that was as natural to him as breathing and a part of every living thing he had ever encountered. As he stood he began to channel the dark energy within him into his hands, the purpose of this exercise would be straight forward. He needed to perceive how much energy he wasted while manipulating it. He would have to know how much was wasted and from where to find how to refine his manipulation.

Not at all. I thank you for keeping me entertained, even if it was only for a short time. *Zero would've bowed, but he decided against it, not yet knowing Relinth enough to trust him* So are you going after Orias and Mastema?
