Welcome to Gaia! ::

Leah has ushered Tsuna along through the city pretty quickly, as if she was trying to avoid the Circle as if they were her enemy. Most people knew that the Circle liked to snoop into other people's business, but it was largely ignored thanks to the fact that they have saved thousands of people hundreds of times. Take the entire Fae race for example, if it wasn't for the Circle, the race would never have even been born, and the humans that they used to be would have perished under the impact of Samus II. But Leah felt unreasonably nervous whenever she got near them. More recently than before, it never used to bother her, not until she started having her dreams. They were sometimes in them, so she was unsure of how to read it.

It wasn't long until she had taken them motorcycling through the wilds and eastwards towards an undisclosed location. As the woods became dense and the grass became tall however they neared their location, surprisingly. Leah came to a stop when much of the trees began to part or become spread across the floor. These trees were old, very old, and many had been ripped from the earth some time ago. Much of the grass became dirtier here too. As Leah stepped off of her bike she gestured for Tsuna to follow and then look out. Ahead of them was a monolithic tower, made of old stone and faded stained glass. At its base was a huge pair of gates, one side was hanging loose from the walls and had half-fallen down. "Welcome to the Grand Library of Kuj'anast" Leah said, beginning her walk towards the entrance. From above ground the library didn't seem like much, it was just a tower, but the real library was hidden beneath the ground. Even to this day, not all the rooms have been explored, but getting inside was difficult. As they neared the building there was a dark, dirty looking green magic that began to glow. A magical barrier stopping them from entering. "Put this on" Leah said, tossing the girl a brooch made of gold with an emerald placed in its center. Afterwards Leah stepped in and the barrier let her pass without problem. "The scholars of Kuj'anast used to wear these centuries ago. Their magic still lives today."

Leah lead the way down the staircase that turned right and down deeper, before opening up into the great hall. This was the largest known room in the library, that lead to all other rooms, staircases, and corridors. In the center was a great green orb that still swirled with an amber magic. Leah let out a sigh, looking around at the place. "I... Haven't been completely honest with you. But for good reason. This is the greatest library in all of Magic Earth. We're not here for the Jewel, not yet. We're going to research Legion. If there's any literature on him then this place should have it, as long as he's old, like i suspect he is. I highly doubt he existed after the destruction of Kuj'anast. We'll use that orb to locate some archives, hopefully. Otherwise we're at a loss and will have to hope we just get to Bergrisok first."

"Very well" Leah replied as Tsuna suggested splitting up. Leah knew the girl probably didn't want to stick close anyway, so she let the Therian do as she pleased as long as it helped them find the information they wanted. She trusted Tsuna would actually help as well, since she must have been wanting to end Legion as much as she did. If only she could tell Arisa about Legion, if only she wouldn't sound like a mad woman. Even if she didn't, Arisa would likely alert Valorious and he would have the entire Divine Host out on the hunt to eradicate the threat. It was simply not something Leah could do. It would put the White Guild into panic. Panic was the last thing the world needed right now.

Leah was deep into the books, especially a very thick, old leather one bound with inscribed crystals along its back, when she heard the sound of something move not far ahead. Leah's head looked up, her black hair falling over her face a little as she gazed around. Nothing seemed out of place, although she couldn't help but feel like she was being watched... or followed. She returned down to her book, flicking a page that was titled "Assault on Ar'bek-zul". She felt a chill move up her spine as she looked over the delicate oil painting on the next page. It was lucky the paper was thick enough to hold such imagery and not smudge, although the colours had faded considerably by now. The Crown of Albanoch Leah thought to herself. She knew much about the city that once displayed wealth and power in the middle of the great desert kingdom. It was long gone now, however. She also knew of the asault upon it made by Asmodius. The city lost an entire army, but no one knows what happened to it. It was suspected to have been lost in the desert, but other reports say squadrons were spotted heading further north, to Sheol. She thought she saw Legion's name, as if by sheer chance when she swore she saw something move out the corner of her eye!

Leah slapped the book shut and as the gust of air blew her hair away from her face her HALO activated. "Tsuna!" she shouted, again, like an angry yet concerned mother. That movement was definitely not Tsuna, it didn't quite have the heavy footing that an angsty teen usually had. Leah turned and atop the staircase they originally came down she saw Legion, fully robed with a black face. "You will not get away this time" Leah stated, "by the laws of Injustira, I will punish you!" Leah was about to jump at him when suddenly a gigantic blade spawned from his face and came shooting towards her, she could see red-hot liquid jetting from it as it came at her. She flinched, then dived out of the way only to crash into a bookcase and tumble to the floor. When she looked up she saw nothing, no blade, no lava, not even Legion. "A trick!" Leah spat, "find Tsuna!" she then demanded of her HALO as it lit up red and got to action, crosshairs locked on and she was chasing the girl down in no time.

When she found Tsuna she was in a room with another High Angel ironically looming over them from above, this one made of dark stone with a crystalled hood. It was no doubt Mesraphael, but what was it doing here? She then turned as she heard whimpering and whispering, this time from Tsuna. She was cradling the air, crying into nothing. Leah's HALO faded away and her eyes looked between Tsuna and her hands over and over until she finally realised. "Tsuna Miki! Snap out of that curse this instant! Legion is toying with you! It's not real, it's not!" At first it seemed like she wasn't going to get through to the girl and so resorted to prayer. "Injustira" Leah began, standing straight and holding her hands crossed over her chest, "High Angel of Justice, let thy justice be done by my hand, may evil be purged!" Leah then held out her thumb and index fingers together to make a triangle as she muttered the Latin phrase of the Injustira Syndicate. White light grew from her hands and as the light touched Tsuna she could see dark, sooty marks appearing on Tsuna's skin. The curse! Leah realised, it was a dark, hellish curse imprinted to the girls skin, invisible usually. She had to save Tsuna and remove it from her at once!
