Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nepta set the wine glass down; "My compliments to your winemaker, a perfect blend and age for any ocassion, perfection in a glass, and I appreciate your listening. I'll return outside to prepare for Balthezor's arrival, that way his presence will be short lived in your realm. May I be excused to prepare as well?"

Nepta shook her head; "I had no intention of you cleaning up anything, I was fully prepared to seperate the both of them and return home from Arynia, but If you chose to get involved I had to concede. I'll return Toole to the land of the living, and if so desired set the clock back to 1 and 1/2 hours minus any memory of the events that took place in all parties affected by the action ordered by this house. Only those here will retain the memory of the events."

Nepta took a few more steps inside from the doorway.

My first duty was to inform you, to give you the option of getting involved since a dead soul is inhabiting another. I will not go against her order to Tsume, even if I don't agree with it, but I cannot stress enough that this house has the final say in what I do. This is my mess as you pointed out, and gladly will take care of it. I thought it was only proper you be made aware, and given the option to act on your own considering I have no business being here in first place. I presented my case as it stands Lord Chrono, i can act entirely on my own, or will follow through and send toole back to the living once order is carried out by Tsume. The same end result happens either way, Balthezor comes with me, but the choice of how much you want to involve yourself in the matter is why I came here to begin with instead of going directly to Arynia. I had to give you that right, or face my own destruction."

"Lets just say i didn't believe the popular opinion of our community unil a moment ago. You can't be properly spoke of in a story, but rather experienced for the words to have full effect. To answer you question, yes you are rather intimidating, and unpredictible. I apologize for repeating myself, time is growing short, and with it a sense of urgency is driving my thoughts. I should be going and taking care of my mess, rather then inconviencing any of you to take care of it for me, and with your permission I would like to come back and enjoy another glass of wine before i returning home." Nepta let go of the empty glass to float over to the bar to set down. "Anything I should be aware of before I go?"

Nepta frowned; "I was afraid of that, and this is the easy way. The only other way is I turn Toole's body into a battlefield, it's much longer a process, but he won't die. Just have a few unexplainable qualties added to him."

Nepta's eyes lost focus for a minute. "Damn, I'll talk more later, out of time, and sorry for the rude departure." Nepta closed her eyes bowing, and when she stood back up her body caught fire and disappeared within the flames. The little floating cinders dying out before reaching the ceiling.

Tsume got to the portal, opened it, and looked in the eye of the portal to see Nepta taking care of everything. He sighed and pulled his sword up, closing the portal, "Looks like I'm out of work." he sighed as he began walking back to the manor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A little while later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chrono flew up to Kaos's island and tapped lightly on the door. When one of the dragons answered he bowed his head and asked politely, "Is Kaos home?"

They stepped aside without much of a word and Chrono just laughed at their gaping mouths. He went up to Kaos's room and knocked on the door. when there was no answer he entered and smiled, "You're looking younger already."

Kaos's eyes opened and he looked over at Chrono with a smile, "That's always good to know... what brings you to my chaotic abode?"

"Your daughter is getting married soon."

Kaos shot out of bed and Looked at Chrono in disbelief, "What! How long have i been sleeping!" He scurried around his room looking for his wedding attire.

Chrono's laughed echoed throughout the house, "Relax my friend. you haven't been sleeping for more than 4 hours. Elenath sent me a message as well as the dress saying they were starting the wedding soon."

Kaos stared at Chrono with one leg in his pants and the other half out. he lost his balance and wiggled around, but fell to the floor anyways, " ow... What in the name of... so shes getting married... when?"

Chrono chuckled, "As soon as Anabel gets her ready and you get your a** in your pants..."

Kaos sighed, "I can't walk my daughter down the aisle like this! I look like a mummy..."

"Take my energy," Chrono said, offering a hand to help his friend off the floor, "You know i have enough of it. I'm like a bottomless pit of energy."

"I-I..." he paused feeling terrible for having to rely on Chrono, "Thank you, Friend. Thank you." he took Chrono's outstretched hand and became 130 years younger in the time it took for him to stand up.

"Good as new." Chrono said with a smile as he dusted Kaos off, "Now let's go give your daughter away." he cringed as the words tumbled out of his mouth and watched as Kaos withered into a ball on the floor and began bawling. "Gah! Kaos i didn't mean it like that!" He shouted over Kaos's wails

"She grew up so fast! she's still just a baby! Why does she have to get married now! I haven't got to spend any time with her." he looked up at chrono with tears streaming down his face, and Chrono shook his head, "I know i know i'm such a girl, but it's true. She's my child and i barely know her... she's changed so much while i was gone."

Chrono sighed, "I'll give you some time to be alone and get pass these emotions, but whether you like it or not, your daughter is getting married today, and that's all that's going to change. she'll still be your little girl, and she'll still love you." he grinned, "You'll just have to share her with another now."

Kaos began crying again and Chrono left his room and went to the kitchen, "Evenin' ladies... and gentlemen... There's going to be a wedding today."

Chrono grinned, "Prepare if you'd like. The reception's going to be down here whether they like it or not." he pulled out a chair and plopped into it waiting for Kaos, "He's such a wuss... I only cried at Lillia's wedding, and that's because he wasn't really in love with him... well kind of, but there was someone she loved more. In time She fell in love with him eventually." Chrono sighed and smiled, "So.. Watcha doin?"

Chrono shrugged, "I can't say that he won't be... It's up to him."

Kaos stumbled down the stairs looking rather pale, but dressed in formal attire, "Gah...I haven't felt this sick since Ive was pregnant." shuffling into the kitchen he smirked at Chrono, "Ready?"

Chrono laughed, "Are you? you look like s**t..."

Kaos frowned and stood up straight, "Gee, thanks."
