Welcome to Gaia! ::

A small chuckled escaped Jonas lips as he heard her remark. If he was going to die he might as well take in his last view of a beautiful female.

"...I might add you got very nice legs." He said as he coughed up a bit more blood before a shiver ran down his body. His vision growing more grey.

As he heard her suddenly snap at the girl he shook his head weakly. "Don't...yell at...her." He said as he felt warm fingers against his cold ones. He tried to make another cheeky comment but he suddenly found his voice not wanting to working and he could breath.

As he started to slip away he heard the little's girls voice and a sudden bright flash in his vision and it seemed to travel through her to him. He suddenly felt the pain quickly going away and then he found himself coughing up blood again, this time it was the equivalent of coughing up water after nearly drowning.

Finally after Jonas had cleared out his lungs he rolled over onto his and pushed his back and took up a sitting position. Looking at the Hraapea girl for a moment a look of bewilderment on his face before looking at her guardian. Finally he looked back at Lorena before giving her a wide smile. "Thank you so much sweetheart. Thank you." He said as he wiped the blood from his mouth before standing up, looking them both over. "Your both alright?"

He asked as if nothing happen, and when dealing with hreaapea a lot of things happen.

Jonas sat silently as he watched Sera for a moment. She was reacting...strangely to say the least. He looked beside him to see the little girl was asleep, he didn't know how much strain that had been.

He let out a sigh as he watched Sera still, he didn't respond hoping she would snap out of it herself. Right now he was in wonderment at the fact all of his pain was gone and a few old aliments. The arthritis he had in his right wrist was gone, something he had since he became "old".

"Sera snap out of it." Jonas said gently as he leaned forward and gently gave her a few shakes. "It's fine, your daughters okay." He said not sounding like the guy he was a few moments earlier with one reason, actual concern.

Jonas wasn't much sure himself of why he was even able to breath right now. A few moments ago he was drowning in his own blood, now he was feeling like he was twenty five again.

His eyes drifted to the little girl for a moment his shaky thought train was starting to question if she was even from this mortal realm. He could sworn she looked like a angel...didn't matter right now.

"You daughter saved me is what happened. Laying down isn't the best thing right now..." He said shifting to look at the door. Now just a jumble of wood and stone. And people said the Romans were great at building stuff, bull.

"Depends on what you mean as stuck. I don't have a back door and the wall is of a thick stone, oh and the windows are too small for us to fit through." He didn't mean for it to sound like a smart comment, he was just in a really good mood. Even though he does have a homocidal house at the moment.

Jonas watched the woman that was now his fellow trapped person. Hearing her sudden question he just gave a frown and shook his head looking at the little girl again. Maybe she could fit through the window and go get help...or maybe she had another ability, either way she was important.

As he heard her question him then paused his eyes blue eyes drifted up to her a frown was shown with them but he licked his lips for a moment thinking.

"Well we wait...and get calm back. As for the hraapea..." He moved his head from side to side for a moment before finding the correct words.

"For the hraapea I'm looking to obtain one. I already meet two so far, well three counting your daughter." He said standing up for a moment before walking into the study and coming out with a picture of Felicity. "And the reason I want one...is to train it as a vanguard for humanity and for them and...to have something I never was lucky enough to have." His voice held the sort of calm and coolness that came from his military past.

It was true, he saw them as a possible threat. Better then a human and more dangerous too.

The day Jonas was going got his chance to find this man he was going to make sure he got one. By any means necessary, he had spent to much time and money into this to just let it die.

Seeing the woman suddenly next to her unconcisou daughter he knew once again that she wasn't going to give up the location of this human-god. She was just like the others in that fact, they were loyal to this individual.

"I don't think there is much choice." He said sitting down a distance across from her. "Think about it, you daughter just saved my life in a way no mortal being could. You don't think there is one that could easily take mine or yours, possibly even your daughters?" He asked her tilting his head slightly.

"Think about it. What if one day a hraapea realizes that it's virtually a demi-god among us. Do you think it's really going to stay hidden behind it's mother skirts? Besides, if it came down to it how many hraapea do you think would actually try to stop another of their kind. How many do you think would even know how to kill another human being?" His voice came out with a errie truth that he had realized a long time ago.

"Hraapea are angles among humans...so which one would turn on their God and who would be the one to fight it? Your daughter?" He said still keeping his tone before something dawned on him like all the other hraapea guardians. "I wont take her, even if I did she wouldn't be able to train like I want."

He got a small laught out of her telling him he didn't know what he was talking about. All the infomration gathering; the meetings, what he just saw, she didn't know what she was talking about. "I'll tell you the truth, I probably know more about Hraapea then you do. I been searching for this...god for so long. Did you know they can kill a snapper hound or that their growth rate is way faster then ours?" he questioned before scratching the back of his neck. "For now. Think about it though, if she can heal right now what if she gains more power? Maybe bring the dead back to life?"

Seeing the look on her face he could tell he hit a nerve. Maybe she knew how the Hraapea gained or learned these powers. He might pry later.

He tilted his head at hearing her statement. What would he do. "If they turned on there god...then I obviously did a horrible job as a father." He said giving a slight smile before sighing. "Well...all the effort would of been wasted and I created a monster. I'll take full responsiblity and..." His voice lowered for a moment as the thought of having to terminate his own child came into his mind.

"And I would deal with it before it becomes a issue. If I can't get them to change...I'll do what a maker should do. Kill the monster they created." His voice slowly turned into a whisper as the image appeared in front of him in his head. "Tell me Sera...rather you know that if another Hraapea threatened your daughter's way of life that another one would defend it? Or would you rather have the public know and let the executions begin?"

Jonas stiffled a laugh at hearing Sera's sudden retort to him. It wasn't that he was mocking her, she just seemed cute mad. After the sudden urge he went back to watching her. He felt bad that he had to give her these negatives thoughts but he had to. She needed to understand the world they lived in.

"Simple, I'll tell them to live in the shade." He said a smile coming on his face as he pointed at Lorena. "Stop viewing their bird parts and start viewing her human parts. Tell her to wear a loose shirt and keep her wings to her back, then giver her a long skirt to cover her tail feathers and hey! You have a human girl no one will look twice at." He smiled back at her then shrugged lazily.

"Like I said, a curse is what you make it. Some curses are gifts in disguise. Of course this is upon your choice of how to raise her. I know a guardian who's hraapea is a grown adult but her mentaity is like a child and he's always protecting her. If he dies what will become of her? If it comes your time can you say you taught her how to live among humans? If not a lot of things could happen..."

The conversation they were having made Jonas wonder more in more if their was anything in common among the people he meet who had Hraapea. Each one had virtually nothing in common expect they were adult.

At hearing Sera pick at his age he glared slightly at her. He knew it was the undeniable truth, he would probably be dead in the next twenty years were as she had probably another sixty. "I have..."

"Half plus nine...people die young and old. The only difference is I have less time to teach them what they need to survive in our world." He said looking at Lorena. "I'll die in a few years...I just want to finally leave something behind..." Jonas's voice was low, almost to low to hear but it carried the tone of a man who feels that he haven't fulfilled anything in life.
