Welcome to Gaia! ::

Astrid smiled at him, "And here I thought it was a simple answer I would receive." Casually sending the little dog a friendly smile, she leaned back and rested against the counter. She recalled Nykyrian speaking of his father and grimaced at his weaken look in his eyes when he spoke of the king. She was quiet, as if she was collecting her thoughts. And then, she smiled once more. "It's ironic..." Clearly keeping her own secrets, Astrid rubbed her brow after absorbing her thoughts.

"Grant it, you told me much, but many I did not need to hear. However the knowledge of that club is important, thank you for clarifying my concerns of it." She rose from the counter and looked at the prince, "Still, I am somewhat doubtful of your hope despite your speech. Realize it is not out of your character, but out of the war. Also that I am concerned for both parties."
She walked away from the counter and moved closer to Ren, "I know all too well what happens when people break such boundaries..." Turning on her heel, she looked back at Nykyrian, "My concern is heightened because of such events."

Walking back toward the counter, she stopped near the edge of the bed, "Hell is bound to already know of what is happening, the same for Heaven. Both will either want to use you or destroy you." Letting out her concerns, she closed her eyes and sighed. She walked from the bed to where her bag and bow rested. Picking them up, she turned to head for the door, "We will need food, I will go find some..." Stopping, Astrid turned to look back at Ren, "Take care of them while I hunt, and don't hurt an injured person." Then, she turned to Nykyrian, "... I will tell you this much. I am one who cares not of the war. Though my actions say otherwise, I only fight when threatened or when the humans are attacked. For it is my purpose to help give knew life to them."

Stating everything, she opened the door and left it slightly open for a cool breeze to enter. Calmly, she exited toward the forest to find some food.

Nykyrian smiled at Ren as he heard the boys question and laughed in a kind way. you humans are the most resilient creatures ive met.i believe to the bottom of my heart you have a hard enough spot in life with out us demons causing you problems in morals or ethics. two thousand years and you have changed so very much in so small of a time. Nykyrian coughed as his hands clenched from the disinfectant on the new bandages did its job. Some of you humans do not deserve to suffer in hell and others well Ive seen and done things. . . . things im not proud of. but still nothing as twisted as some humans through out time. Nykyrian tried to reach down for a small flask as Orthrus went under and popped back up with it in his small pointy teeth. slowly the prince took a large swig can capped it back off as he patted Orthrus. why do you hunt my kind boy. not all of us seek bloodshed and suffering some of us just want to live modest lives.

Nykyrian seemed unphased by Ren's answer as it had seemed so typical of his father to do those things. slowly Nykyrian began to shut his eyes as exhaustion was now fully setting in on him from the days events. I do not know the answer to your question. i know they exist but that is all. quietly he fell asleep as his mind began to wander in to those few happy hours he had not long ago. a small smile appeared as his breathing slowed under the blankets. For once he was truly happy and free from his past and rage. That pure rage that had turned him from a reasonable man in to a beast who wished only to see what ever harmed or wronged him destroyed so thoroughly and utterly that it would cease to exist.

“Though a fight every now and then does make life a little more interesting, don't ya think?"

Rising from her seat, Astrid walked over to Ren, and took his cigarette and grabbed the pack. Turning on her heel, she walked to the counter and a bucket of water awaited her. Astrid dunked the items in the water, rendering them useless. She walked away leaving the cigarettes in the bucket and glared back at Ren, "No smoking in my house."
Walking back to the pot, she double checked the birds and put the lid back on. Astrid returned to a seat and kept her gaze at the fire, "This is not the start of a war, but a continuation of current events. Angels and Demons have always been at ends..." She leaned back into the chair, "...It wasn't always like that, for the current war started long before you or even the prince back there had been born. I and many others know of the times of peace... There were disagreements, yes, but those pale in comparison."

Looking back at Mei-Yun, Astrid gingerly tasted the drink, but choose she did not favor the drink. Deciding not to bring up her conversation, she looked back at the princess when she questioned Ren. She choose not to get involved just yet, and walked over to the pot. Realizing the birds were done, she calmly picked up the pot from the fire and walked back toward the counter. She continued prepping the meat on the now cleaned counter.

Nykyrian smile seemed so peaceful as he remembered the night sky so clearly. his horns gleamed softly as the fire snapped and crackled in the background. slowly without fully realizing the prince opened his hand and held the princess's hand softly as a small red blush was on his face. Nykyrian was happy in this place where he could so freely speak. he wanted to show them the finer parts of hell but knew deep in his soul that they would never see it as he would likely never see the gates of heaven. But here on earth it had a wonder to it that he reasoned both had and was inhabited by the humans who could go to hell or heaven.

The prince subconsciously shuttered at his fathers name as he seemed to be now in a panic after hearing his name. As quickly as the light had come in to his life the shadows had come just as quickly to remind him of his life and likely death at the hands of an angel or demon hunter. Nykyrian was quietly crying out in his mind ' help me someone please let me out.' he seemed to shaken by his father who stood not much taller then him but commanded dread that made even Nykyrian fearful of his life

Watching the events unfold, she calmly placed the cut meat into a deep thick pan. Looking in the bottom cabinets, she found some pepper and various spices. Seasoning the birds, she placed them in the pan and covered it with a lid.
Calmly walking back to the fire, she carefully nestled the pan within the burning wood. Withdrawing her hand quickly, she left the pan inside the fire so that the birds would cook. Hearing Ren mention how Annali might become a fallen, she turned back to him with wide eyes, "What did you say?"
