Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kirai sat down, gently folding her hands in her lap. Looking at Edward, a look like almost sorrow came across her face. Turning her eyes like glass over to the candle on a small table next to her seat, she raised on hand and passed her fingers back and forth between the flame. "Edward..." Pulling her hand back, she rested it with the other one, the odd feeling of part of the blood in her body being warm and the rest always being cold. "I don't think I could kill Avarice." Her eyes became very sad, actually, atleast looking, truely sad and deep, no longer reflecting light from any of the candles in the room. "You were with me when... when I awoke after he did that to me. The pain of dieing, and death by the hand of the one who you loved more than life itself, death by the first one who you ever felt loved you." Her head fell down, her voice turned cold when she mentioned Avarice. "I was greatly decieved in Avarice. But... you stayed. I was never decieved in you... except during the times of war between the Black Cross and the RCS, but even then, I was decieving myself into feeling wrath towards you, and towards everyone." Looking back up, Kirai continued. "I thought... several things when I felt you had died. I felt several things, which numbed me even further. When I discovered how dangerious Avarice had become, what should I do, I wondered. Edward would want his loved ones to be safe, this peace he worked so hard for. I was going to kill Avarice anyways, but can I? Could I...?" She paused. "I have no soul, Edward. I have feelings, as deep as my skin can go... lonliness and darkness. I can't truely love or hate anyone... I feel that emptyness." Kirai looked at her own hands in her lap as though she could see through them, a tear fell down her face. "We need you to help us kill Avarice, I need you so I can atleast assist in his death." Kirai obviously had several reasons... she would not of brought Edward back just for herself, to kill the lonliness... she would never do that to him for such a reason. It was everything else that pushed her to do it. But she did need him, although it was the fact that everyone needed him that caused her to do it. Because she felt he would want to be alive again to protect his friends and family... because that is what he always did.

"My day just keeps getting better and better doesn't it." Salazar said following him into the earth. "So lets get to know each other shall we. I"m Salazar Neri and I kill people for sport and humor. You?"

"Lanius Necro-Inclementia. Ex-leader of the RCS, caused the largest genocide in history, not very much more to it." Lanius felt like keeping it rather brief, but he was willing to answer any questions. Leading him further down the stairwell, they reached a dark large stone hallway with a steel door at the end of it. Walking silently, Lanius said, "Avarice use to work for me... my bad for not having more people sent to execute him at the time. Obviously, I killed the wrong people, then left the wrong people alive in addition to that. Rather much of a pain."

"Largest genocide in history... Lanius, I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship." Salazar said chucking to himself. "Do you eat human? I find the heart in particular to be a very tasty dish."

"Aye, and thats also a long story." Salazar said walking in. "We got time, why don't you give me the short version?"

"Well, a case of 'live or let live'. It was an accident in my youth... A very corrupt maid force feeding me some slum off the street her lycan husband had killed, that is. Of course, later they found the bones, she met a hundred rounds of bullets, and her husband never did appear again." Lanius put it as simply as possible. "I was a very very young child, too young to know any better."

Salazar nodded and said "Sounds like you had a fun childhood too. So, what exactly are we doing down here other than reminiscing about our wonderful lives."

Kirai took a deep breath, and said. "Edward..." Looking back at him, she didn't know if she wanted to leave or stay. She decided to stay. Although she knew how to say it, Kirai felt she couldn't, so she decided to ask. "Edward, how do you feel towards me, and how did you feel towards me for all those years? Always staying by my side..." It was obvious she knew his feelings, as well as her own... Jonas was right, about Edward loving and suffering because of Kirai, a soulless woman. It hurt for Kirai to face this, but she felt she had to... it had been too long. And when Edward died, it plagued her terribly, like a nightmare you have night after night and it refuses to go away... like a shadow.
