Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Two seconds you wouldn't be able to offer, if it wasn't for me." Ora held her ground, her crimson eyes focused on Arch, although they glanced briefly to Ruby at his side.

"I assume you know who has been pulling the strings of the war, of the battle you just fought, and even of my own existence. The reason you and yours are alive is because I cut my strings and have broken away from the being I once called master. The first step is accomplished, the next is underway. I intend to pull this world from his hold, but I need assistance to do this." She kept her cool, unphased by the gun and Arch's hostility. "Do you really think he will let you live in peace because his first assasin failed?"

Ruby stood at Arch's side, a dagger in her hand prepared to bring blood if necessary. She squinted in confusion on the topic of a master. She glanced at Arch then back to Ora, trying to understand what it was that she was missing.

"Soh leht meh giht thihs straight. Yehr guhn goh ahn taihke ahwn yehr ohl' masteh, soh yehr luhkihn fehr theh bigehst guhns yeh caihn faihnd, hn? Yeh knohw theah's nothihn mortahl 'eah thaht cahn evehn cohme clohse toh 'ihm."

"All I need is a possibility, a slim chance. I can make things happen that should not happen. It's still a roll of the dice, but it might work." Ora crossed her arms and leaned against the door of the bus. "Have you ever heard the concept of a fate-breaker?"

"Arch, I am not the fool you seem to think I am. I would not be here talking to you if I did not think the situation desperate. I would not be going against him if I thought there was another possible choice. At the moment I am searching for for those who could raise the chances of winning even higher. You and Ruby fall into that category." She smiled, despite herself. "You know as well as I do that this is the best chance, if there ever was one, and if there ever will be."

"Ihf theah eher 'whuhs ohne sahwnds ghuhd." Arch grunted, considering. He glanced at Ayx. "Didnah ahsk 'ehr. Donah maihnd iht, bhuht didnah ahsk."

"Iht slihm. Vereh slihm. Yeh'd beh neihdihn 'ellah lahwt ohf fohlks wihth sohme dahmn ghuhd maight. Nahwt juhs "ah cahn rhuhn fahst" ohr "ah gahwts strehngth", yeh'r neeidihn yehr pahp, ahn prolleh ahneohne ehlse yeh cahn mahnahge frohm Juridahwn."

"Your patronizing me is getting rather annoying, Arch." Ora gave him a slight glare. "My father is already on the list, I just need to persuade a few things first, and I was hoping you would find a way to bring the seer into the mix as well. It will be a powerful group." She glanced at Ruby, "it will be soon, but Arch needs to heal first."
