Welcome to Gaia! ::

Grave only stared, directing both barrels for the forehead of his newly appointed foe. Memories flashed for a moment, Grave shaking off the feeling and holding his stance firm. He knew the man from somewhere, but was unsure of exactly where it was. Either way, the matter was irrelevant to the task at hand. Grave will kill this man and continue his objective. Eyes remained trained on his target, noting vital marks and vulnerabilities in the stance.


"Master Drake would like for you to disable that man. Afterwhich, return to Shadow Haven."

Walking down some way into the deep corridor of the deep depths of the old and ancient manor as Ryuho had entered a large archway that hung a ghostly liquid veil in front of him, entering the darkness he muttered the words, "Shadow Haven" and vanished.
Reappearing into a grim, dark, but noble castle as he walked into the main hall, approaching Drake and Shadowstep. Shaking Drake's hand in what would seem in terms of friendship or something else. "Drake, it has been far too long....it's good to see you again, my old friend. How was you're time in the Realm of Nothing? I know it's been a while, but our plans are still into motion it seems, though the Organization can't move forward due to the Order's pestering being. If things should turn as out as we planned, I can join in with you once more and rid of the dead weight. What have you heard from Naraku, has he spoken with you yet?" asked Ryuho.

Koraseru quickly catching the the number, the distance, speed and aim of the projectiles shooting towards him in several directions, having then to start twirling his trident wildly, but professionally deflected all of the bullets, receiving no damage to the explosive rounds there after due to a veil of vapor ice that covered him and his weapon, bring no harm to him as he prepared his counterattack on Grave. Still moving onward to enclose his enemy, knowing he could only fight greatly in far distances and not short, course this was only a one person observation or an assumed opinion to read his enemies movements after the first attack. Still twirling the trident about, began to swing swirl mixes of ice and water combined and hurling them in several large streams at Grave, freezing they're surrounding in think black ice that was as deep as four to five layers, soon subsiding the violent inferno city into the worlds largest ice box.

Laughing at Drake's reply, "So how did you escape? I knew the God's made it inescapable to break out, but I had no idea that they lacked the underestimating of our abilities. i take it that Shadowstep got that book I sent you, without you'd still be there in nothingness, course if you further look into it you'll find some artifacts of the "Lost Days" and find them pretty useful, but to get them they're probably in the Hall of Infinite Knowledge upon the heavens in the Central Court of Souls. In our next meeting I'll try and give Shadowstep a laid out map of the Court of The Four Souls, i'm sure with Grave and him will be able to break in and take their lot of the treasure, not to mention the very item that the Organization needs to ensure that our goals become that intended reality that we hoped for in the beginning since we started this rebellion. Also if we meet before our destined meet, we should just pretend as we have done in the beginning to throw them off, course if they do find out to soon, i may just have to eliminate them, like I did in the past sometime ago." explained Ryuho as he stopped for a moment to gain an extra thought before continuing their discussion on past and future events.
"So Drake, What news from you're side of intelligence? I hear you have much to tell from my understanding. You've been raiding quite a few of Order Bases in you're general area, making quite the name for yourself as my ears tell me." asked Ryuho as he was interested in Some of Drake's feats some time ago with the Order.

Jiro comming up the stairs with a bright candle lantern in his right hand and raised it in front of Kitsuna, turning her the other direction in which the way she came, not saying a word to her or of Ryuho's whereabouts only guilding her back to the secret chamber with the others, waiting till Ryuho returned.

He watched as the man ran across the uneven terrain, his steps landing crooked and misplaced. Grave took the advantage, holstering his Heads and swiveling the Coffin over his back and the top facing the man. He pulled a hidden trigger, three barrels emerging and firing continuous rounds in his opponent's direction. Grave kept a solemn expression, cold emotionless eyes watching while he sprayed the target with multiple shots.

"I doubt I'd want any more help then what I have. My castle has returned with me, and all that is left of my civilization are within those walls. I'll give you a tour, once the slaves finish tidying the place." Drake waved a hand and the cup before him floated to his waiting grasp. " I had some fun with the people of this world at my return, but was disappointed with the results... So when shall we meet?"

Grave rotated the Coffin over once more, the base opening and a missile sliding into view. It fired at the ground which the man stood upon, exploding in a massive cloud of smog a flame. He waited for the response, swinging the coffin over his back and drawing his Heads once more. He stood ready, waiting for the next move to be made.

"Yes, I must be going as well. There is a little girl at home awaiting my company." Drake stood and turned the other direction. He glittered for an instant, materializing into nothing and the sparkling essence of what he was dropped down below the surface and vanshed.

He'd appear in his castle, walking to his chambers where he prepared for dinner to be served.

Shadowstep nodded as they both left, taking a stand and turning to leave the room. The table never existed.

Looking at her only to chuckle at her assumed questions, thinking she was speaking utter nonsense. "You must be mistaken my dear, master Ryuho has never left this manor since he came for me. If you are wondering on his whereabouts my dear, he's in the spiritual tunnel to which you all be traveling in to reach the Zodiac Society. He'll be checking for me to see if it'll be clear to travel and see if the Order is not watching, very important that it's clear for you're long travel. Why where you assuming that he was somewhere else and did not tell you my dear?" asked Jiro as he took her to the front of the door in which everyone was waiting for to depart. "Await his return and don't wonder off down here, it's not safe. One turn could make lost then you were before. I come for you all again once master Ryuho returns." said Jiro as he turned around and walked down the steps of the way they came together only to stop at a wall. Placing his hand there before the wall it soon became deformed and soon formed a hole walkable to enter through as he entered and vanished as the wall closed in around him vanishing from Kitsuna's veiw.

Ryuho now back into the manor of the under tunnels in which he was first in before leaving for Shadow Haven to meet with Drake. Walking up to the room to where he assumed Jiro may be, he entered an fashioned room with many tapestries and many tables full of bottled herbs and chemicals. Seeing Jiro further on ahead on one of the tables finishing up on an project.
Looking at his master returning, he smiled at him as he bottled up an dry substance and handed it toward Ryuho. Ryuho nodding after receiving the bottle from Jiro and placing it in a small bag into his pocket.

"A little something for Akito when you see him, give him my best when you see him." said Jiro.

"I will, so while i was gone, did anyone suspect of my whereabouts?" asked Ryuho.

"If you must know it was that girl Kitsuna, though she nearly found the veil, but I found her before she discovered it and turned her away back with the others. I told her you were doing something with the spiritual tunnel, making sure it was clear of all eyes so you're travel may be a safe one." recalled Jiro to his master.

"I see, good save there, Jiro. i would hate if she found out what we were trying to achieve and too soon as well. I need to keep a watch on her and be careful, otherwise i may just have to kill her, like i did to her parents before. Tell them that we're ready to leave now, I'll meet them all down there, take good care of yourself, Jiro." said Ryuho as he vanished from the room as Jiro followed up the stairs to gather everyone to leave.
