Welcome to Gaia! ::

Scarlet stood right beind her. Her large fangs glittered in the light when she smiled. Her red and black eyes showed revenge but she would have to wait.
"I have taught you well Yuki! But your end is coming soon and it's not going to be Hitomi that ends it. I will end this once and for all. That witch knew that this would happen and has cast all my pieces aside. Well no more.If she thinks that she could bind me to the shade world I say dare she even try."

Just as suddenly as she thought that, that her intire body started to pull apart into shadows as she screamed in pain and agany. She fell down to one knee and looked up at Yuki. She was covering one of her eyes as her blood, like ink, flowed freely down her face. she snarled at Yuki when she came close and hissed at her. " Get away from me! You are no better than that witch who has trapped my spirit in the land of the shades." Yuki stood back a bit shocked as Scarlet tried to pull her shadows back together and when she removed her hand from here eye, there was a pentagram that was covering her intire eye and it was glowing a sickly green color as her blood dripped fron her eye as well. " THis is the price I pay for taking down tyrants like your father Yuki. This is the price I pay for taking down Sara. I will never be able to have peace." Scarlet snarled before she finally dissaperated into the air.

In the meantime though, Scarlet was screaming in agany in the world of shades as she was bound into the shadows. Her very spirit was being torn apart and was trying to merge with the shadowed land. Her hands and feet were bound into the wall of the plane and she couldn't get loose.
" So you thought that you would get away from even thinking such unpure thoughts did you?" Sara appeared alongside of King Cyrus.
"You thought that you would put a stop to what our plans were did you?Well you are no longer able to live in that realm and we control this realm so we can choose when to punish you and when not to. Of course we could always kill you but where is the fun in that?" They both answered as Scarlet's head dropped from the sheer pain and torture. Sara went over and yanked her head up as hard as she could. " I wounder what would happen if I held this in front of you?" Sara answered as she slit her wrist and held the oozing blood in front of her. Scarlet was too wounded to even answerr.

Eve was still in a trance from what she had seen. how could she be the reincarnation of former Queen Scarlet when she was till somewhat alive? There were too many questions and not enough answers that were being given. Suddenly, excrushing pain shot though her intire body. She screamed and collapsed in the snow. When she hit the snow, it melted on inpact as her body was ingulfed in flame.
Hitomi saw it and rushed over to help but it was to late. There was nothing that anyone could do at that time. But to everyones surprise, even Eve, she was not burning. The fire was dancing all around her and licking her feet but it never once left a mark. Eve gasped " What is going on?"
As the fire lept higher, a female form started to appear through the dancing flames. " You are the next in line. Are you willing to make a contract with me to put a stop to what is happening?" Eve had no idea what was going on and she implyed slowly. " Yes I want peace but who are you?" The figure came closer and whispered in her ear. " I am the fire goddess. I have granted Scarlet her powers to take down her own father who was a tyrant but now, scarlet is worn out and tired. She has little life left. IF you you choose to accept, Scarlet's spirit will reside with you." Eve took a step back and was hesitent." Scarlet's spirit is dieing. You have no choice to think.If she dies, her spirit will be intombed in the world of shades. Her powers will used for profit. Make your choice." Eve nodded and then answered." I accept!"

In reality those who were still left were perplexed on what was happening since noone could see the goddess only the flames dancing along Eve's body not sure on what to do and Hitomi was sensing the tension of confusion in everyone, "Something has to be going on if the flames arnt burning her skin...it has to be something good at this rate since....hope is all we wish for now." As everyone watched on terrified and worried Hitomi's moon gave a slight glow as Ketsuki started to speak within her mind,"It may look like a horror to see but fear not blood child..... your friend is being visited by the mighty fire goddess herself and is giving her the help she needs for this ordeal." her eyes were shuck in surprise as he went on.

"The goddess is giving Eve the power she will need for the fights to come and as for you eoo, the time will time when you'll be asked to choose what you wish to do either by me or another however most likely I'll show myself to everyone in time giving a choice since I too want my brother and his vessal, your sister to stop the nonsense they're bringing to the Universe even if it means a life must end for the sake of the rest of us but....I must wait for a time to get the message out. You the Crimson Wind Dancer and Eve will have to go together and be a pair to lead on and end things once and for all. I shall come to you later on and give you the time you have now to think of the answer you will say but its up to you." Ketsueki fades his voice and leaves Hitomi into question what was going to happen and what did Eve accept.

Once the sky became a pitch black Yuki was persistent to see how everything was happening with the small armies she sent in remote areas and from the images within the vanity it was enough to please her, one by one she watched as small villages in the outskirt villages in a few realm even her own were engulfed by flame and the sound of the screaming fleets of villagers trying to run either to be caught by soldiers or killed on spot but whatever the situation Yuki was laughing almost in a sing song tune at how people were dying just that she was getting a thrill from it,"This is just what I need with Scarlet out of the way for now and the clan nowhere to be seen I can go on what I've benn doing his entire thing and I dont need anyone in my way, I though my old mentor was really on my side wanting tha havoc but only to defy me? never!.....I rule this Universe and I'll be damned to see someone stop my reign without a good fight. Its now time to add a little more thrill here and when I'm old and no longer able to go on my Everest, sweet and innocent now but will be trained to rule just like I am now and continue the Nightshade way with saddness, tears, sorrow, and blood....just like how it has all this time."

Everest was listening my the door hearing everything her mother was saying and wasnt liking it, only a mere child still she didnt like what her mother was doing but kept her distance away from Yuki since crossing her would most likely end up terrible so for Everest she would remain distant only to come when she was needed and act as if she was happy when inside she hated her mother's behavior. Yuki looks on for a few minutes and fades away the mirror's images calling Everest to come see her, she comes being picked on and placed in her lap as Yuki stroked her head gently, the only affection she really showed for her child.

Senente was still around, but with Eve's new powers, she had to keep a farther distance as she knew how good she was as. She kew that if Eve found her, it would mean trouble for Senente. She trembled and it made some snow fall deep onto it's self on the ground and peered up to Eve and just prayed that she would not be spoted.

Watching the flames in the halls die for a moment Yuki was perplexed knowing something had happened but going in her mind was what seeing it was dark but with one window showing the red sky, looking close she sees what looks like a bright nova but from closer view Yuki could see it was a rose a fire and from that symbol the feeling she had of her past mentor came to her with the feeling fading off giving her the idea what had happened."So....the great Scarlet Knight has final left this world for good...tis a shame she was so well known to everyone and actually....well scared me for once. Now what will those clueless clan people do know with only those two to guide them." True Yuki felt her teacher and friend feeling fade off yet there wasnt a tear crying for her death but even amongs her coldness the dark queen still felt as if something had left her refusing to show itself to the outside as she shakes her head watching the fire in the sky in perplexion and curiosity wondering what was going to happen then.

Tears were running from Hitomi's face watching the rose in the sky and how it represented those who were caught in this entire thing and died for nothing, she was glad they were being symbolized in a beautiful setting and just knew it ment something only wishing her little sister had the heart to see its meaning not knowing the real truth from years ago. Though Hitomi was happy that Eve had grown stronger and brought a little hope to what was marked as misery and despair....something wasnt right as if amongs the outside of the clan something or someone was close but the sense was a little off as she slid away from the group quietly going out to investigate the surrounding for some time to ease her mind and check out if a threat was close. From her veiw Hitomi was able to pick up on two figures not black representing a shade but actual people and looked on cautiously getting closer.
