Welcome to Gaia! ::

The girl had spent the night in a tavern, she had went to the temple of ceclation the other day and were told that the high priestess was at the castle. She leaned foward on her table where she ahd been eating and sighed, "How would I get into a castle?" She stood up and said, "Well, I must, I have to." This girl with sharp red eyes smiled and left her currency on the table, heading to the castle, not sure of how to approach the guards.

Matachi wakes slowly, he sees katherine is still asleep and he doesn't go to wake her. She probably was at peace in her sleep after all that had happen she could use abit of peace. Matachi is ready, soon off the military wing to dress in the black armor of escort and his full face helmet. When he arrives he sees the twenty soldiers already putting the flags of the temple on their poles, the drummers warming up. There was a sullen mood over everything.

Black's heart almost stopped as he got a sight of her. She really did look like Asami and yet, she wasn't. "May I ask, are you heading up to the castle? Cause if you are, I think I should escort you. Cause if I don't, the guards might not let you in." He explained to her with a little hesitation. "Also tell me, are you from the Temple of Ceclation? If so, may I ask your name then?" Then out of all of that, he forgot to tell her his. "Excuse me I was rude, my name is Black, Adviser to Queen Katherine."

From Rhina? Black thought in his head as he bowed back in exchange. "Well... Ai, if you'll follow me, you'll see it's not too far away." He said leading her through a crowd or two of people before finally coming to the gates. The castle was pretty big, maybe intimidating at first, but it held a certain majesty to it. "Now tell me Ai, what might be your business here?" He asked as they entered from the courtyard to the main hall.

"Yeah... at least I did..." Black said as he turned to her. "You see, the high priestess passed last night." He started out sadly. "She was born with a disease she failed to tell anyone about. Last night it just overtook her and... she passed away. I'm sorry, I don't know now if your trip was wasted."

Black sighed as he lead her through the hallways and to a small room. There she was lying still on the bed. Her flesh had gone pale, though luckily he had the foresight to use a solution so her body wouldn't start to decay too fast. He was still sad when he looked at her, cause he almost expected her to sit up and smile at him. "This is where she is. We're prepping her for burial."

"Well, she was the High Priestess of Ceclation." Black said as he took a few steps forward. "But not only that. She was also a friend to the Queen, me and a few others. Why were you looking for her?" He asked, wondering why this was happening now.
