Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alucard pulled back the tentacles and ripped the arrows from his body. He coughed up blood, a grin on his lips as he listened to the Angel. "A test? Interesting.. i thought we were battling." Alucard chuckled darkly.

"And you little miss. Ill get you for shooting me with those arrows like that. Ganging up on someone.. thats just cruel." Alucard laughed as he grinned a cocky grin.

"Im glad i can still be the monster i became. But just who do you want us to rescue?" Alucard inquired.

D took Charlie and the blood packets. He returned to his steed to stash those away before he mounted is steed with Charlie securely in his left arm. "Yes. I will inform you if anything happens." D said before he lashed the reigns to his steed and headed towards the Keep.

"Hi. Okay." Lilly said with a smile as she followed Chiru to Charlie. "Hi Charlie! Lookit! I fell asleep in the sun and i grew again!" Lilly said with a smile.

Ivy watched D leave and she turned back towards Raziel.

"We are going to the basement. You have some work to do."

"Thats up to him." Alucard smirked as he cocked his head slightly. "But.. if we decide to help.. what do we get in return?" Alucard grinned as he licked his lips free of the blood he had spat up.

"What are they doing?" D asked Chiru, Charlie and Lilly as he looked up into the sky. They didnt seem to be fighting anymore. D looked down to the baby Charlie, or was it Charles? Whatever too many C names as far as D was concerned.


"Dont know. They were fighting." Lilly shrugged.

"You would be helping us out greatly." The angel reached into the space between her plump breasts and pulled out a vial which she tossed to Alucard.

"Drink it. It's Amaranth's blood. It was a gift he gave me incase I was dealt a wound that was too great. I'll give it to you incase you are dealt a near fatal wound as well. Ontop of that I've been inclined to agree to give you whatever you wish for this transaction. As you can see, we are in desperate need of assistance."

=============================================

Charlie looked over to Lilly and noticed her age had changed. He hadn't been too concerned with her before because he had been intently watching what was transpiring between the angel, and the two vampires.

Now that he saw she had aged again, a great fear grew over him. Why was she still aging, and if it continued would she age until she turned to dust?

"Lilly! What...Ah...Wait the sun?..." He turned and headed inside to grab his notes.

When Chiru heard D's voice, she spun her head around so fast one would think her neck would snap. "Do you just materialize from the darkness?"

The woman took a deep breath and looked back to face the trio. "I'm not sure. They were fighting, Angeles went to help the angel and then they all stopped. I heard bits and pieces. Something about a rescue or something like that. Hmn...Oh, and the name Amaranth, but I don't know who that could possibly be."

She craned her head down and looked at the child. "I can't see you as a babysitter..."

=========================================

"Basement?" That work made Raziel arch his brow and head after the woman. "Why down there? The only things that remain are my old pieces of equipment. Unless of course you stashed something down there without my knowledge."

He was obviously puzzled by the simple word she had used.

================================================

There was a breeze passing through the air, and suddenly the werecat could feel something rushing up to where she was. Her cerulean eyes opened and looked at the figure which looked like a rolling rock.

Fortunately, she knew exactly who, or rather what it was. "Sandulf! You sly ol dog!"

The 'rolling rock' came to a halt by the trunk. Though it looked just as it was described when rolled up, as the body uncurled one could see that it wasn't a rock at all. Mere a very flexible and very strange looking wolf.

These beasts were said to be creations of the nobility, but unlike their other creatures, these were seekers of knowledge and very rarely harmed anyone without good cause.

The wolves themselves at adult status was as tall as a horse, as pups they were the size of wolves in legend. Sprouting from their cheeks were spikes which protruded out and pointed down along their jawline, acting as a means of protection. Their fur was incredibly fluffy, with dragon scales beneath that making it hard to penetrate the body. On their backs and upon each side were retractable blades. And hiding in the fur of their bellies was an extra set of arms with clawed hands. These were used to carry their pups about.

The large wolf looked up at Luna with a grin. "Here you are! I've been looking for you! The elder has instructed me to assist you in returning to the village. Though we all thought you were dead, it seems he has finally been able to sense you again. Though I must say, you look much different from the form I met you in."

Twenty five years later, Luna had ended up in the barbaroi village. While there, she helped the village by eradicating those who might destroy it. It wasn't a large task, and she thought of it more as a training exercise, but the inhabitants had been so pleased that they welcomed her as a member with open arms.

"Ah! Perfect! I was just making my way there now." The werecat stood up on the branch and leapt off. She landed, legs spread, upon Sandulf's back. The blades on his back would pose no threat unless they were released. Since he had them tucked away, there was no problem with her landing.

"Let's go then shall we?"

Sandulf nodded, and the massive Steinhund headed off with incredible speed.

Angeles glowered. With what he was previously doing and his tone now, Angeles was pretty sure about what he would decide the payment to be. While the Sacred Ancestor seemed to withdraw in himself with a stupid smile on his face Angeles turned to Trinity, "are you alright?" she asked quietly, sincerely concerned. Her hands shaking slightly as the blisters on her hands had turned to severe burns, and were now, very very slowly, beginning to heal.

((nooo, bad D bad D. NOt supposed to give Charles to someone else to take care of. Oh well, guess Ivy will just have to find that out the hard way.))

Ivy continued to walk down towards the basement, Raziel right behind her.

"I was snooping around down there a long time ago and I found something very interesting down there. I think you'll be surprised."

Ivy smiled as she walked through the basement door, starting own the stairway, torches lite on either side of her. When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she opened the lab door and stepped inside, she looked over her shoulder to make sure that Raziel was till behind her.

"Hope you don't mind taking a little trip Raziel."

Ivy smiled.

"It's better if you see it with your own eyes. When I first saw it I couldn't believe it. I don't think you will either."

Ivy walked to the farthest and darkest corner of the room and gently ran her fingers along the wall. After she did, a bright firey light emitted from the cracks in the wall and the bricks disappeared, leaving a training/battle field the size of the keep.

Ivy turned to Raziel and smiled.
