Welcome to Gaia! ::

The disguised Lord of The Devil's Eye listened to Amaterasu with rapt attention. Every word was important to him, as the life he knew and the lives of so many others hung on them. She spoke of the old Gods, myths that he had heard but were unfamiliar with. Tyrel; Pital, the lady of The Desert... and Grix. Chaos, and the creator of humanity. He did his best to mask the anger inside of him, but the fact that the being who had made the agents of his family's death intended to return. There was talk of pillars, and this piqued the Anima's interest enough to make him speak.

"Where is Rykros' pillar? What of Tyrel, and Pital's? Grix's pillar and the island on which it stands may take some time to find, but these other pillar's may hold clues to its location. But, as you say... if these visions are from some agent of Grix and not the God himself, we must root him out. How quickly do you think this meeting can be assembled? I will inform my Lord and Lady at once."

Krayth's heart sank at the news that all of these mythical pillars were on the same island, and that the island itself seemed to have no rhyme nor reason to its appearances. So there was nothing that could be done immediately? Such a notion made him uneasy. How could he just sit and wait for this island to return? It was a mass of land - it cannot simply vanish. Even though the Anima knew such a thought to be partly false, he clung to it. There had to be a way to find the damned place... He focused. First, he had to finish this meeting. Amaterasu spoke of sending her Knights out to summon the other Lords and Ladies, and he nodded.

"Send out your Knights, if that is your will. I speak for my Lord and Lady when I say that the faster this meeting can begin, the better. I will return to The Devil's Eye with this news. My Lord is in your debt, Lady Amaterasu, and will repay your kindness. Be safe in the coming days. Farewell."

Krayth rose from the table and bowed deeply to the Lady and Knights in his company. Even if this island was currently hidden, now he knew of its existence; of the pillars; of Grix's return... without delay, he turned to depart but was stopped by the chef at the counter.

"Sir, wait! Your meal! Your sake!"

Krayth looked at the man in confusion. In his depth of thought, he had nearly forgotten about his meal. He sat, scarfed down the sizable portion that remained, and graciously accepted the bottle that the surprised chef extended. It wasn't often men came to his restaurant and devoured a full meal in moments, but today bore witness to such an event.

"Thank you again." Were the Anima's words, and as he tucked the sake into his cloak Krayth strode back out of the building. He walked the town for some time; idly down a few streets until he came to a secluded place in the shade. He considered heading directly to The Citadel to confront Lord 'Noctis'... Srin, as he knew him. He decided against it. First, he must take the knowledge he had and pass it on to his Lady. If he were to go now to The Citadel and death would befall him, they would be helpless... that was not an outcome he would abide.

The Anima stepped into the shadows, and was swallowed by the dark.
