Welcome to Gaia! ::

Even at the far distance Hitomi was out she could feel the change going on to where eveyone else as somehow a new flame started to burn as the old one had became ashes,"Like the phoniex bird in folklore and tales the bird lives on as a great symbol till its time to die but.....within the ashes a new life of flame is burning growing each day, this is how I see things changing right now and the thing we need at this time."

Remembering what Ketsueki said to her that time of change was going to come but he didnt say how or when till her senses went into overdrive as she kept going through the continuous white layers of snow yet it was quiet for anything else to really be out here and the idea of shades were out of the question since those were easy to detect at times. Hitomi wasnt seeing anything out there but thinking back she swore she heared a voice far off from the clan and took caution in case wherever the voice came from would go on and attack but it was all instinct now, everything was calm for now yet tense but thinking about it there were so many things that were happening so the time they had now without an assult or sudden attack it was good to have the time to enjoy the new starts and in the end have a little more hope to get out of the frozen realm they were in, if it got worse the small handful of the clan that were there would decline and grow smaller.....getting to the next realm and surviving were the main things going on as new questions and answers were coming out.

Within the palace wall in Cyrus' study Yuki was deeply thinking about what she had seen and wondering if she was going to be hit hard as the clan was moving close out of the realm of ice and closer to her, there were a couple more realms to go through however with the time going they were inching close."Thinking about this now I need to see if my thoughts are right on and ease this tensity on me.....I'll take a look personally with the group and find out what is the tense feeling I have growing but, I must be cautious."

Yuki knew Eve was a pretty clever girl and had to keep things careful or end up being caught in her rage and most likely at this point....killed so a change in apperance was the only thing to work with along with managing her aura so it wasnt so easy to detect, looking withing a few of the family books she looked carefully at the pages to change herself for a moment just to get that few minutes to get close to the clan before going back to the shadow realm in case things were possible to get nasty and into a fight. Even being royal as she was and loved to see violence Queen Yuki knew if she was to fight now her fun would end fast and the risk of her dead from everyone obviously angry with her and tear her up linb from limb so disguise was the only option. She chants for awhile as she alined a few things in a circle and just as she did before summons her black magic changing her image taking the image clost to Hitomi only making her hair and eyes white as the snow as well her moon she smeared a paste making the black cresant grey as if she was a shadow realm being from Phamtrois known to have ghostly apperances to their face. "With this little get up I do believe they'll think of me as a wandering Phamtronian on her own and think nothing wrong of me....enough time to take a look at what she was questioning as she looked into her vanity jumping into the snowy inage within.

Hitomi comes closer to a few patches of dead trees, seeing the sight brought bad feelings that they were in a realm that not much was alive but the ones that were walking on the tundralike terrain, there wasnt much to be done outside the clan so she decides to go back to the group trying to find the knifemarks she placed on a few tree trucks not to get lost in the snow, a tactic used in her old days as a Rose Assasion that at this point was a ture survival stradigy she was keeping with her to know what she did in her past not really thinking if there were others left from the force or they either deserted or were killed. Getting out of the confusing maze of snow trenches and dead trees Hitomi spots something a few yeard off from where she was and out of the blue grips on a knife not too sure if they were a threat or not being safe than sorry staying low, as they got closer Hitomi jumps out ready to trow her knife but jabs it in a truck stopping to see it was a woman and from the markings it was one from her home realm,"Strange..a Phantronian on her own like this I know that were all over the place but she found a way out of my sister's barrier."

She thinks about it as the woman got closer scared and cold from wearing the wrong things.For Hitomi it was odd to see her but wasnt thinking about it seeing it was one from her realm and from the sight had been walking in the cold for awhile,"You....child of the ghosts come back with me we have a clan of those trying to be free of Queen Yuki's way and be in peace again...somehow you managed to escape the barrier and ran you must be cold to the core." she puts a hand on her sholder thinking she was scared to speak and led her but as they walk the so called escaped Phamronian crept a smile before loosening it...Yuki knew her plan was already pass step one, getting close to the clan.

Even from the distance Hitomi and the woman were from the group she could tell someone got hit and pretty good too as she could imagine how good of a blow,"Perhaps whoever got it deserved it in my book...then again something was bound to happen." she thinks walking taking glances at the myserious woman she found mainly taking her words and seeing the image she was.Phamtronians and Lokchaions had a bitter rivalry in the beginning but as soon as King Cyrus took hold they started to work together for survival even with their customs different they shared a bond to this day to help a fellow one in trouble if it was to come, that was how Hitomi was seeing it as not taking attention that it was all a trick and her sister was right behind her plotting and thinking keeping an innocent face in all,"That sound was a chilling thing to hear....I hope their not too hurt from the blow."

Hitomi turned suddenly hearing the woman speak for the first time and stops,"So....your here on your own and yet I have yet to hear your name if I may please know." The woman looks up with a nod,"I was givin the name Yoko...forgive me if I'm quiet I dont talk much." Hitomi nods as they both got to the group and the truth of what happened came into veiw as Hitomi kneeled by Drako in respect seeing he actually returned from the last visit...even with him down for a reason."Mentor I see you've return from awhile thats good to see but forgive me I've found this girl, Yoko wandering in the snow alone. She's the Phamtronian race and was able to find a break in the barrier covered on my realm, I hoped she may stay here for a moment just to warm up at least but the decision is yours." hitomi looks to him then to Eve seeing somehow too she was provoked not too long ago and an obvious idea came up in her head....most likely a spooking.

Now that Senente saw Eve acting like she was, she had to think of something. She only thought of one thing: come out to revil herself to Eve. She left her wepons in the woods, her headband as well, even her ring from her husband. She steped out of the shadows. "Eve Thronwood." She camly said as she walked up.

It was easy to see for Hitomi how he was feeling and thought the only really good thig to do was let him be, losing someone dear to him was hard and to break down in front of everyone would show something, explaining how he excused himself away from the other to have some time which was needed at this point. Hitomi looked at the newcomer that came from the shadows and was thinking what was happening with all the new faces coming out from the dark and wasnt sure what to think but to be calm and nice to them only to be on her toes if something was to come up and a threat is sensed, she looks to her with a nod and to Yoko as well showing her how to make a snowbank properly helping her to make one by hers mainly to keep tabs of her and not cause too much trouble staying with the group.

In the end Hitomi eased on suspision settling in her bank for a moment as it became windy again with another gust, little did she know Yko was watching her pretty close a little hesitent to walk around near Eve in case anger could brew up but she was being smart to keep low so far being in the spot she wanted to be and as well warming up to Hitomi to the point she considered her one of the clan but thats what the idea was as so called Yoko/Yuki was watching eveything seeing what was really happened beyond the vanity.

Eve nodded in reply.
" I will try my beast to finish what I intended to do on the first place. I will end this war one way or another."

Eve noticed though that the newcomer, was it Yoko? She didn't remember, was starting to look very uneasy but she kept it to herself.
Sometimes, things are better left unsaid and the actions are meant more to see.

While Hitomi was easing off a little huddled up for a moment she wasnt paying much attention to really anything even the outside movement what little there was her mind was out of reality but the bank next to her was buzzing with thinking, Yoko looked out for the first time in awhile coming out to take the numbness out of her legs to see what things go on. Walking she watches everything seeing what really happens and smiles wickedly in her head at the fact she was in the enemy line....a perfect place to find weak spots and plan a future attack.

"This....this is the so called threat and the throrn in my side I was so concerned about, ha! by the look of it these 'people' can barely keep up during resting time. So defenseless, small, valnurable and I can even take on of them down while they slumber." Yoko was thinking about it but looking to where Drako was residing he was another thing to worry about knowing he was truely chaos himself and to trigger something would mean her definatly nore than scratched up, nodding to the thought she walks around the camp being curious of whatever was around.

Eve looked at Senete and the little bundle of food that she offered. She handed it back.
"You need this more than I do right now. What we really need is to get out of here. Tomorrow we are breaking camp and we are moving." eve looked at the new girl and then to Senete." I don't trust her! There is something about her thatseems familer. Keep an eye on her please."
Eve stood up and her feet crunched in the snow as she made her way to the ice cave of the reaper
