Welcome to Gaia! ::

*she nodded* Tha' seems to be the Case with T'Je an' D...*she Shrugged* I like New York...where else can ye walk down the street to get a slice of pizza at 3 am and get mugged at the same time *she grinned then thought aloud* althought I dun think tha' guy will be do'n tha' soon...I told 'im I was Irish I even gave 'im fair warn'n...I really didnt wanna break 'is nose...*she trailed off and shook her head and looked at him, she had a feeling Xol was putting up a show for her, she thought there was more to the a**-hole like facade he put sometimes* but thats irrelevent....^.^; But dun get yerself kill'd I cant bring back the dead...*she smirked alluring, she knew what he was doing and was gonna play it right back* ....Not Bad, Aria's been come'n back an' forth from New York, she was nine Las' time she visit'd... I sparr'd with 'er ov'r Christmas....dun get on 'er bad side lat'r on, Xol...she's gonna be a really strong an' useful Ally...*she stared into her glass for a while then spoke again* overall good...an' 'ows yer life?

Xol reappears in his lab, laying Kai on a soft bench before walking over to a experiment table and laying Than down onto it softly. Looking over the damage, he brings his lips into a tight line. This wasn't good.

"I can't save your arm...or your left eye Than, but I can save your right eye. Give me the green to operate."

With a heavy sigh his keyboard of commands came zipping out from under the main desk situated by his personal rejuvenation chamber. Xol clicked in a few commands for the specific table Thanatos was on and a mask connected to a tube slid out and onto his face, covering his nose and mouth. It pumped a powerful sedative into his lungs, making sure he was out for the count because Xol was about to do some very delicate surgery and a sudden wake up would be very bad...to say the least.

A small table came up from the ground by Than's operating table and a the top flipped over to reveal a large set of tools. First thing was first though. He had to stop the bleeding in the boys left arm.

Xol's gauntlet started to glow as dark matter formed in his palm. He weaked the concentration of energy and placed it to Than's stump. It would serve to cauterize the wound and stop the bleeding, but wouldn't cause severe enough nerve damage that it couldn't be saved at a later date.

With that done, Xol removed both of his gauntlets and tossed them onto another table across the room. Moving to the boys side where his right eye was, the table of tools moved with him. He used two pieces of tape to keep the eyelid open before picking up a suction tube and suctioning out any collected blood. Then he cleaned it with a water jet making sure to suction out any debris.

With little time to spare he took a small laser off the table, one that he had designed himself. It used blue laser technology, specially designed for sealing flesh with limited damage to surrounding tissue. Using a small tong, Xol moved the eye aside and held together the optic nerve with a small metal clamp. It had a rotating piece that allowed for him to seal the broken tissue the full length around. With that done, he removed the tong, flushed the eye once more and removed the tape. There was no gaurantee it would work, but it was the most he could do.

He examined the left eye, but it was nothing but a fleshy pulp. All he could do was remove the bullet and clean what he could before using a sealant on Than's eyelid to keep the wound closed.

With nothing more to do, Xol picked up Than and placed him in his personal rejuventation tank with his arm. It sealed and immediately filled with a red healing liquid, stripping him off his clothes and going to work with the tiny repair nanites. Anything he missed or didn't do a well enough job on, cuts, scraps, bruises, minor internal injuries, and the like would be fixed with the tiny tools of the nanites.

"Sorry Than, but that's all I can do..." He sighed, hanging his head low. Before he left, Xol placed the same charm on Thanatos that he had placed on Phia. Allowing him freedom to leave, but not enter his Keep.

Walking over to Kaiori he glanced her over and picked her up, laying her on the already clean operating table that he had worked on Than with. Xol blanketed the table and put a pillow under Kai's head before stepping back and smiling. He figured it would be best if Than woke up to find Kaiori there with him and unhurt, then they could leave together. Placing the same charm that his did on Than, onto Kai, Xol stepped back and smiled. They did make a good couple...and with that, he walked over and picked up his gauntlets before dissapeared into a plume of black mist and was gone.

*Terr halted in front of the entrance, the scent still strong.*

"He must be around here."

*He walked past the trenches and up to some runic markings on the wall.*

Xol quirked his brow as he listened to Phia's tale about getting a slice of pizza at three in the morning and breaking a mans nose. "Yes, I'm guessing that your infamous Irish temper had nothing to do with it then?" He asked, quriking a brow again as he grinned before taking a drink from his cup.

He nodded as she spoke of not being able to bring him back from the dead and how Aria was growing up to be a talented fighter. "Oh, I have ways of coming back from the dead...no need to worry about me. I'm glad to hear Aria is growing into a competent fighter, we may need her sooner rather than later is Mastema decides to attack us full strength. And I really had no doubts of her becomming a great fighter...she has a very talented mother and father to teach her."

He took another drink before anwsering her question to him. "Ah, my life. Well...that's a rather long story, but if you just want the updates. Raven and I are to be wed soon. And speaking of Raven..." Xol cooed, finishing off his second drink as his fiance appeared and gave him the low down on who his intruder was.

"The name doesn't sound familiar at all, but I'll go see what she wants anyway..." And with that, Xol dissapeared into a plume of black mist to talk to his new 'guest'.

(( Oh really...like I would blatenly write how to get into my own Keep. You assume far too much stare . And it matters not if your ancestors are spirits. They would never have come in contact with Seraphims because the only one whos knows of Seraphims exsistance are God himself/herself/itself. ))

(( The reason for having them scratched in like a child wrote them is so that a nosey person would look at them and shrug with confusion. Where as if I made a grand plaque with gold writings and torches lining the cave it would be kind of indicative that something's going on.

And to nitpick slightly more. What is your image made out of because there are defenses up that don't allow for remote veiwing and other sort of spectral/mechanical based images. Also, how did you come to figure out that my Keep was below the cave? xd ))
