Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ralkis had watch the battle from a distance. It was as he thought. Kalas had no chance to win against Sinis. While he was her back up, Ralkis determined that the situation would have worsened if he got involved. Ralkis was the type who used stealth to kill his pray. With out the preemptive strike he knew there was no way he could fight Sinis face to face like Kalas attempted. Going after Sinis now would have been pointless as well. Sinis was aware that Ralkis was there due Ralkis early decision of not joining the battle. "I must get my priorities straight now." Ralkis said to himself.

With the battle over. The people of the town were lost and confused. Within a 3 minute time frame an entire portion of the town was nearly wiped out. He was somewhat angered with himself not realizing that Sinis would make the first move. If Sinis had just talked before acting then the burning of this town wouldnt have happened. Ralkis put in the past and focused on his new objective. Return the body of Kalas to Rodasia. Before he could do this however, a girl began taking her away with the help of an Elk.

Ralkis was unsure as to why she was doing this but, rather then make another scene, he would trail her from a safe distance in a humanoid form. Shadow Demons usually didn't transform into a humanoid shape because the idea that they should not have to bend down to conformity. However, Ralkis used such powers to his advantage. While it suppressed his full power he felt confident that his power would be enough to take out the girl, who helped remove the enormous flames in the town, if he deemed it necessary.

While trailing the girl outside the town, he began to focus on Sinis betrayal. Even from a distance, Ralkis knew Sinis was after Kalas jewel because it was considered dirty fighting to strike such a place. Sinis was an enemy now but, even Sinis wouldn't throw away such ideals unless he had a reason.

Eventually, to Ralkis surprise, he ended back to his homeland of Rodasia. As to why Kalas would be brought here, Ralkis would have to learn on his own. He was a ghost. He refused to confront the girl when she had done nothing wrong...yet.

Auren growled incoherently, having rediscovered a few things in life. Namely, how awesome sleeping for eight to ten hours curled up with someone was, coffee, and dozing.

He yawned as he sat up, slowly coming around. "Iunno. Next week?" he said while hauling his sorry a** out of bed with a smile.

Man, if any of my old comrades saw me now... he thought to himself amusedly while getting some pants on.

Heading down the stairs, he went into the kitchen to make coffee.

Auren fought with the coffee press for a second, before claiming victory and looking back with a smile. "Looks good, love."

"'Course, I dread what Hali is going to foist on me." he said with a teasing grumble, knowing full well that Hali probably wouldn't shaft him. Though, to be honest, a few hours in his armor, a few coats of paint, and he could make his armor into a work of art, or at least something suitable for a ball.

Auren did have a lot of time to do... not much back in the day.

Turning his attention to the second box, he went to go get it.

Auren facepalmed and groaned as if Hali made a lethal pun. "Well, we can take a few ways. A, its not done yet, or B, she couldn't think of anything for me." Auren said and shrugged before retreating into the kitchen where his lord and master awaited.

Coffee.

Pouring himself a cup, making it a very light tan with cream, and about five table spoons of sugar, and a vanilla flavoring shot made him a very happy man.

"'Sides, if need be, I can make my armor look fancy if we don't have one by the time the dance rolls around."

Auren drank his coffee slowly, savoring it. "Dunno. Probably do what we usually do. As for my chair? I have no idea." he muttered.

There was a quiet knock, and Auren immediately left to go get it.

At the door were two Moonlight Organization members, and in between them was a crate. Neither of the Assassins looked happy.

"Sir, you a*****e." one of them said while puffing in the cold air. "Making us haul YOUR DESK CHAIR to the middle of Nowhere. Aquious. Come on."

Auren looked at the pair with a grin. "Ah but this isn't Nowhere, Aquious. This would be the queen's castle."

"...And you're in your pants, shirtless... Since when were you a male escort, sir?" the other asked.

Auren winced with the razz. Served him right too. "Since never. She would be my fiancee, my dear Killian," Auren said with a grin.

They stared shock at him while he picked up the crate and moved it inside and closed the door on him, before breaking out into a school-girl like giggle.

(since there's "Nothing" to post... i'm skipping a few weeks to the night of the dance... Btw Auren's jacket still hasn't come... ><)

Oriana paced in the kitchen watching the clock, if it doesn't show up in ten minutes i'm going to... ugh! though pacing isn't going to do me any good... i should sit... she thought as she poured a glass of iced tea with raspberry bits in it and tapped her fingers to the sound of the pendulum.

Ralkis trailed Guen but stopped when she went inside a large manor. He took 5 minutes to survey the area. He entered cautiously in his human male form to make sneak a tad easier. He felt Kalas presence once again. "She was revived?... that can't be right." He slowly walked down a hall getting ever closer to Kalas. Then he heard footsteps. If he was caught here his task at hand would be become problematic. He entered a room to get away from the people who were coming. He turned around to see the women who brought his kin to the manor. In complete silence he looked for a way out. He knew he entered the manor to early.
