Yawning, Jaden woke up, and looked about the forest some. Rubbing his eyes, he sat up, and got out of his sleeping bag. Stretching, he got dressed while yawning once more before looking off into the distance of the trees, and waited for the others to wake as he leaned against a tree.
Startled to hear a voice come from some where with in his clothing, he felt about his pockets and pulled out a blue stone. "Uhhhh... Yea, I can hear you..." He responded, a bit confused about how it happened. The voice sounded like Killian, but was unsure of what to actually think.

Rikku
Rikku walked into the large dining hall where things were being nervously cleaned, even though they were basically spotless. "Good Morning Mi'lord." She stated with a graceful curtsy before raising herself back up again.
"So You have come to speak with me, it must be rather important to call an audience so early in the morning... is it trouble in the capital?" He asked curiously, dismissing his servants from the room leaving the three of them to talk in private
"it is rather important and I had to call an audience early because I will only be here for another day or so, and no it isn't trouble in the capital, I just have troubling news from the dry rocks, I was their recently and---" She began
"So your the one that took down Judge Dayis." he interrupted her. "Call it a hunch but I had a feeling it was you." he said the tone in his voice changing. "you need to be more careful.. you as the priestess are a symbol of hope to this entire island, but imagine how the ties between tribes would suffer if they knew the priestess was the one that killed a powerful political figure, who was legally doing nothing wrong, and just using the power he was entitled to." he said scolding her
"He was torturing an innocent man!" she said taking a second to take a deep breath and recollect herself. "Anyways, that is not the issue at hand, the issue at hand is the cult that this man was affiliated with, he was a member of what is called the dark raven clan... I don't know much about it myself but i've come to warn you of it's presence on the island, the deal in the way of demons, please be weary, and keep an eye on any of your subjects that begin to follow this bizarre religious cult."
Lord velu Nodded Gravely. "I understand, and I will use the harpie tribes connections to try and learn as much about the uprising as I can, I will send a messenger bird to you if I learn anything new about it. now is there anything else." He asked calmly.
Rikku thought. "No that was it, but I was wondering if lady Cefia would like to accompany me to the fledgling gardens, they are rather beautiful this time of year, if I am not mistaken." she smiled thinking
"Oh... what regrettable circumstances...." Velu began, an aura of wickedness spread about the room. "Cefia has left the forest... and will not be back here for some time." He stated. "She has... business to attend to in the capital."
"Oh... Well that is unfortunate." Rikku said, pretending to be unaffected by it. "Well we shall gather our things then, we must be heading back to the capital as well..." Rikku said with a curtsy as they turned to walk back out of dining hall.
"Oh you mustn't leave just yet you've only just got here, besides didn't you say you were planning on staying here for another couple of days?" He said with a grin, and as Rikku went to open her mouth he cut her off. "I insist, you will stay as our personal guests." he clapped and servants walked in. " Please take the priestess back to her quarters, her and her servant must be exhausted from the trip here and the feast last night." He said as the servants ushered them back to their room, Rikku gritted her teeth angrily the entire walk back
Killian
"this is killian, I am speaking to you through a stone, infused with mana, and I am using my mana to connect my stone and your stone so we can talk to each other, I was just checking in with you, how are things on your side going?" he asked calmly. "Did you catch the man who stole her pendant?"

Looking at the pendent as Killian spoke, Jaden was still a bit confused as to how it worked, but didn't argue with it. "Things are fine over here, and we did catch the one who did steal Melodie's pendent. He insisted on staying with us though." Looking over at the rest of the sleeping people and shook his head. They should be up by now. He thought as he shook his head. "How are things going on your side?"

((I editted the long post, and changed it a little bit..))
Rikku
"damn. They know what's going on!" Rikku said angrily as soon as they were alone. "Damn!!!" She said diving into her bag and grabbing her talking stone-thing and using her magic to connect it to killian's and jadens. "Killian! Jaden!" She said into the stone. "Can you hear me?" She interrupted their conversation. "There has been a change of plans, and we need to act quickly!"
Killian.
"We are just waiting for Rikku to tell us when to atta--" He said as Rikku interrupted them. "Rikku?" What's happened!" he said urgently.
Ty
Ty stretched waking up to the sound of talking as he yawned sitting up. "What's going on?" He asked hearing rikku's voice. "Is Cefia ok!?" He yelled jumping out of his sleeping bag.
Melody
Melody's ears twitched as she listened to the world around her, half asleep, but upon hearing rikku's urgency she knew the relaxation wouldn't last very long. "Ty don't panic yet, just get your things ready, I have a feeling we are going to be in a hurry." she said getting ready to leave if they needed to

Dimiri awoke unaware of waht time it was and again if it was light or dark out. He rose too his feet and began walking down too dark passage way after he didn't know how long he could see a torch, lit, at the far end. He started running for it. The torch lit an open entrance way into a massive room. people lay all over the floor, dressed in dark robes, the stench of rotten flesh and old blood was powerful. Dimitri plugged his nose. In the middle of the room was a partially destroyed altar with numerous runes carved into it. Dimitri walked over he looked around the room for a minute as he walked over too the altar. as he lied down on the altar...this was it...this was the room he had been brought too...this was the very altar he had been ment too die on. Suddenly it felt lik his wrists and ankles were siezed he looked, nothing there. his breath began too grow short. Relax...it'll be over soon The demon said in his head, almost amused. He looked around. Flames consumed all but the alter he lay on. From around him, three beings, almost seemed too be made of molten rocks rose from the flames. "This is the end..." Dimitri said too himself. "No MoRtaL" The three spoke in unison. "ThIS is A NEw BEgiNNinG" one approached him and drew a small knife with all manner of jewel in the hilt. It stabbed Dimitri through the front of his heart. Dimitri let out a gasp then his whole body went numb, then his vision grew black.
((No he's not dead BTW))
Alexander walked beside Rikku. He had this feeling deep in the pit of his stomach that things weren't as they appeared, that things were bad, the feeling that lord gave him...almost made him feel sick.

((Response too your edit))
Alexander sat on his bed and folded his hands. He licked his lips and seemed too stare at the floor. Things are not looking good here, I should have noticed things sooner. Why would lady Cerfia leave well Rikku was visiting?...unless...she didn't leave by will The smashed vase, rikku had said it looked like a struggle and there had been chaotic energies, tiny amounts, but still there.

"What do you mean, a change in plans?" Jaden sighed as he realized what Rikku meant. "Just tell me what you need done, and I'll do it." He replied to Rikku as he got up from the tree, and started to pack his things once again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During the conversation, Larris just moved about in the sleeping back some and mumbled a few incoherent words before going back to sleep.

RIkku"Lady Cefia is being moved to the capital city, they know what me and Alexander were doing here, something isn't right though... lord velu is basically holding us prisoner here, but we will figure out as much as we can and meet up with you in a few days." She stated in a hushed yet urgent tone. "I have a feeling that they will be guarding her heavily... and that she didn't leave by choice, anyways her escort is either on its way or already at the capital city! meet up with each other and head there as fast as you can! don't worry about me and alexander we will be fine, and we will find you as soon as we can, Don't call me ok, wait for me to call you." She stated before breaking the connection... and then looking over at alexander. "So what do you think our next course of action should be?" She asked thinking... Killian"Gotcha." Killian said to rikku, as he ran over to luna "Luna, wake up, we've got to get to the capital city asap, there has been a change of plans." he stated grabbing his things and jamming them into his neverending bag, quickly. ((varnis don't forget that you have luna)) TyTy let out a loud monstrous roar as his form shifted, his black leathery wings jutted from his back and his hands morphed into powerful claws, and his legs began to look more animalistic. His face pushed out, into what looked like demonic dragons snout as a large black spiked tail jutted out of his backside.His eyes became red as blood, his arms, legs, and face became covered in black scales, but the parts of his body that didn't change, remained his normal skincolor, "I'll kill all of them." he said in a very low deep growl as he took off for the sky...... ((This is kind of what ty looks like... http://fav.me/d182e5v just without the sword)) melody"Ty!" Melody yelled grabbing her things, "C'mon jaden we've got to get to the capital city before he does." she said as her staff floated in mid air and she sat on it like she did before, motioning for him to get on it too. "Larris we're leaving, if you are following us you better climb on bored in about 3 seconds

Larris yawned as the people talked to each other and rubbed his eyes. "I see you are talking to me now, and I can't pass up a free ride." Larris said to Melody as he quickly packed up his things (Which there weren't that many of.)), and placed his axe onto his back before getting on the broom behind Melody and placed his hands around her so he wouldn't fall off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jaden frowned as he heard the news. "Looks like there will be a large fight on our hands later." The elf said as he finished packing his things, and started off towards the broom only to be pushed off to the side by Larris. Shaking his head, he got on as well, and held onto the broom itself. "Are you sure you can fly with all of us on this?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
((I know. I just forgot where she was. XD ))
Luna looked over at Killian as he shook her awake. "Plans changed? Where are we headed to now?" She asked as she climbed out of her bag in just her undergarments. Walking over to her clothes, she quickly got dressed and started to put her weapons on her body and turned to Killian. "Haven't been there in a while. Lead the way when you are ready." Finishing with her weapons, she started to pack up her things as quickly as possible.

"I don't know Rikku, I've never been in a situation like this" He says. He was deeply troubled by this whole situation. Why would lord velu do this? What could possably be his motivation behind this whole thing? there were too many questions and not enough facts too anwser them. Alexander sighed and burried his face in his hands.

Mid dayRikku"Alexander I'm sorry that I've drug you into this with me, I should've come alone... anyways I think we should dig around here a little bit more and see what we can--" "Hello!" Rikku was interrupted by a maid carrying a platter of food, "I've brought some lunch!" She said in a sweet yet nervous tone, the maiden was obviously worried about something, she kept looking around the room, before setting down the tray, curtsying and leaving. It was a simple lunch tray, it had some fried egg sandwiches, some tea, and and a little bit of desert, it was oddly simple compared to the food they ate last night. Rikku stopped mid sentance, and looked at the food, drawing her wand and waving it over the food and closing her eyes "Purify.." She stated as her wand glowed but nothing happened to the food. "Well at least we know they aren't trying to poison us... if they were, that spell would've done something to the food cleansed the food, but since nothing happened the food is still good, I am assuming there is going to be a feast again tonight... they always give you a little lunch on the night of a feast so that you have room to eat..." She said reaching for a sandwich before seeing a little piece of paper that was hidden under it... "What's this...." Rikku said aloud grabbing it and reading it out loud so that alexander could hear it... "Dear priestess
Something is not right here... please I urge you to act with caution.
Our lord Velu has not been himself as of late, he keeps muttering on
about how "the darkness is coming." He has some members of the
royal council worried, but it seems that more of them are starting
to agree with him lately... this infectious behavior has even began to
spread to some of the guards... but as far as I can tell noone around
town knows anything about it. He also Moved lady Cefia in an attempt
to keep her from "falling to the darkness he can't control." and by that
I assume he is talking about Master Ty. Please be weary, for now he
also considers you a part of this darkness that he can't control, and won't
free you until Cefia is safely hidden somewhere. Also please take care to
watch over your servant, Alexander... Our lord has recently began to
practice a type of dark magic, that allows him to warp the minds of those
around him... the only reason I think he considers you and Ty uncontrollable
is because there is something about you two that prevents him from
being able to control you, I assume it is because you are the priestess
and Ty is of a species unknown to this island... Please be weary, I will be
back in a couple hours to get the tray again, and with it, I will leave you
another note... Please take care, and I cant remember if I already said
this... but there are armed guards outside your room... so please don't
attempt anything reckless... I recommend heading for the library to try
find as much information as you can... Good luck!" "alexander... I have a very bad feeling about us being here..." She said putting her sandwich back down... "It is like one big riddle... only we don't have any of the clues.... What do you think it means?... "The darkness"" She stated hoping alexander had the slightest idea of what they were talking about. Killian"We are headed to the capital city, if we move quickly we can probably make it there in a few hours, we are on the edge of the forest, and the forest isn't that far from the capital city... once we get into the plains we should be able to see the city even.." He stated as he ran off into the woods, jumping from tree limb to tree limb, like a ninja, "I'm really glad it is just me and you, because we can move fast." Melody"Of course I can, Hold on!" She said as it took off for the skies after, Ty... They stayed right on his tail, following as best they could. "Guys I have to focus on steering and flying this thing, you guys should try to calm down Ty... He is going to cause alot more harm than good, if he enters the city in that state...." She stated as she got just close enough for ty to be able to hear them if they yelled.

Both Larris and Jaden where holding on as tight as possible for fear of falling off the broom at such a speed. Since Larris just joined the group, he thought it be best to stay quiet and let the Elf do the talking.
"Hey Ty!" Jaden let out as they came closer to him. "I don't think entering a city like this is a god idea. I think you should change back into human form before we reach the city limits. Besides, charging in blindly never did any good for anyone!" He shouted towards him over the rushing wind, hoping it reached Ty's ears, and he took head to it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yea, everyone else would probably just slow us down." Lune remarked as she finished packing her things, and headed off towards the direction Killian was heading in, jumping from branch to branch. "I don't like where this is going though... Why was she taken to the capital?"

"Darkness? no never. But it certainly has lord Velu troubled. Enough too do something as drastic as basically taking you prisoner" He said. Feeling his way he made it over too the tray and picked up a sandwhich and started eating it.

RIkku
"Hmmm... this is incredibly troubling..." She said thinking. "I wonder if it would be worth it to check out the library... Alexander, can you read brail? The harpies have an extensive brail, as well as written library, because many of their species have poor vision or are blind, especially in the easter species, since they are closer to bats." rikku stated
Killian
Killian and luna jumped through the trees and eventually came to the great plains which they began traversing. "C'mon the town is only and hour or two----" He stopped looking up towards the sky. "What is that!!!" He said looking at ty in his beastly stated, but he didn't know that it was ty, "Look is that Melody, Jaden and the new guy following that beast!" He asked pointing up as they ran.
Ty
"I wont calm down until I find them!" He bellowed flying, at the speed that they were flying they would be at the town in a couple of minutes so the group might want to try harder to stop him before they get to the town
Melody
"We are approaching the town... hurry if you can calm him down do so!" She stated handing larris a potion, "if nothing else works, can you find a way to get him to drink this... it will knock him out and calm him down." SHe stated flying closer to Ty to allow the group to talk to him.

Taking the potion from Melody, he leaped off the broom stick, and tried to land onto Ty's back, an grabbed hold of him. Pulling one of his daggers out with his free hand, and flipped it so that the blade was pointing up, and was ready to use it to knock out Ty if needed. "If you don't calm down now, I may be forced to harm you, and I don't want to! Do you really want to go into the town scaring many innocent people and possibly harming Lady Cefia in a blind rage!?" He asked Ty, still hoping to get through to him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luna looked up through the tree tops as they Killian pointed out the four up in the sky, and continued forward. "Why would they be follow- Ahhhh!!" She let out mid-sentence ans she miss stepped on a branch and fell to the forest floor, landing on her ankle. Trying to stand back up, she failed in a moan of pain and fell back to the ground.
((And thats what happens when you distract some one jumping from branch to branch ;>.> ))
