Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aria threw her hands up in exasperation. "Take me to the church," she answered shortly and crossed her arms. Sheesh, he's being so difficult.

((He's not being difficult... Aria's just being confusing >.>))

Sighing, Rave nodded and didn't even touch her. All of this was getting to the point of ridiculous, but it wasn't Rave's place at the moment to mention anything. In his mind, this just needed to be solved before someone snapped. That someone probably being Kalore... Which wouldn't be good. But... you never knew. Soon they were in the church, rave's arms crossed. "Find Gambler when you're done." He needed to check up on Eri and make sure that Kalore hadn't flipped or anything... The blonde was a handful when he wanted to be.

Sighing, he nodded. "Of course." He turned his back and soon was gone, sighing as he made sure that things were done that needed to be done, the message was given that Aria was okay. But for now he needed to check up on Kalore.

The blonde was oblivious to an extent, but when it came to something like this... there was no way that he didn't know already. He was gone, soon in front of a hurt Eri, soothing a black eye and a major headache. "Why did I date him, again?" Rave just sighed. "Damnitt..."

Groaning softly, Rave found that he couldn't find Kalore. Cursing again, he soon went to Kyin's, only to find that there was a lot of yelling. "...damn..." Eldin was outside, covering his ears and wincing as the two elves inside were cursing and arguing. "I didn't know Lord Kyin could get that... angry... Or Kalore..." Rave sighed and nodded. "Go to Joker's... gambler should be there. Tell them what's going on, okay?" Eldin nodded and soon was knocking on Joker's door, holding his stomach as his face soon was returning to not being the pale color and back to tan.

Aria wasted no time as she hurried to the Strong Hold, where the Court held their meetings. She hurried up the many stone steps, her wings fluttering behind her as she half ran half flew her way into the Strong Hold. She sprinted up and met a small resistance from the guards blocking the entrance.

"Please! It's me! You have to let me through! I need to see Xander Kahn." The guards gave her a vacant stare and she could tell they were telepathically asking Xander for permission. A short moment the guard gave a short nod and the two took a uniform step aside. Aria hurried through and nearly sprinted into the Great Room. She threw the doors open and saw him. Her dear friend sitting at the throne surrounded by the rest of the Court in smaller, less spectacular chairs. The two fae he had sent, Alouthiani and Cyen, her were kneeling before him, no doubt giving a full report.

"Xander Kahn!" she exclaimed and paused to collect her breath, her chest heaving. Alouthiani stood and narrowed her eyes at Aria. "Please, much has happened since they left, I have to tell you."

"Area 6 does not want our help," Alouthiani said her voice a lyrical silk.

"Even I do not believe they want our assistance, we can not help the unwilling," Cyen interjected.

"Peace, you two, Aria would not speak what she does not believe," Xander said quietly but still, his voice carried out in the room. "Speak."

Aria nodded and bowed to Xander. "Listen to me, all of you," she began and met Alouthiani's gaze steely. The fae nodded, and so did Cyen. "Bane has returned, and with him he brought the Dark Lord. It is our duty to stop the spread of his corruption, even to those places reluctant to receive our help. We know the Dark Lord more intimately than they do. They fought valiantly; but they are ill prepared, and ill equipped to deal with what they are up against." She took a deep breath and dropped to her knees. "My Lords and Ladies, some day, very soon, it is my ambition to join your ranks. To reclaim my familie's rightful place in the court. This is my task, this is my chance to prove to each of you, my worth. So I come to you today, begging you to aid these people. Begging you, because that is what we do."

It was silent, the quiet so thick it was almost palpable. For one gut-wrenching instant they thought she would refuse her. But she knew they were telepathically communicating amongst themselves. The only ones that could not hear were herself, Alouthiani and Cyen. Finally, Xander spoke for the Court.

"Rise, Aria, stand to your feet." She did. "Your courage, and faith in these people is apparent. And you are right, it is our duty to help them,, especially if the Dark Lord has appeared. Than things are worse than I had expected. You must return, and negotiate how many troops we are allowed to send over. You are now the ambassador between our worlds." Aria bowed again.

"Thank you, my Lord." He nodded and waved her way.

"Go now, to your home, be with your people. You may return to the land of Area 6 tomorrow." Aria nodded and turned and left the Strong Hold. Surprised it hadn't taken more convincing. As she made her way to the home she had inherited she aimed a thought at Rave.

I have the full support of the Court. My people will help you, all I need is to negotiate how many troops Gambler will allow. I'm returning to Area tomorrow.

Logan sighed and waited at the window. Rave had just told him that Aria had finally left and that she was alright. Still, he was bummed he couldn't see her off. She looked at Hans reflection in the window and sighed again. "Do you know all that happened?" he muttered.

Joker blinked and nodded. "Okay. We are going to save the day and keep those two from killing each other." The insane man said and blinked. Gambler shrugged and nodded but then looked around. "Hey...Isn't...Monty 'supposed' to be with Kalore right now? Because if you think Kalore and Kyin are pissed, watch Monty explode. It's not pretty." She said, rubbing her temple as she was feeling a bit weary from the night's events. Yet it seemed as if it was getting worse by the second.

Hans shook his head and started pacing. Ivan had stayed behind in the safehouse that they were in to distract anyone foolish enough to come near it. However, everyone knew that it was impossible to come to Rave's home without being dead first. So, for now, things were safe but the cherub was worried about his brother and about the rest of his crew he calls family.

Gambler shook her head a bit. "No thanks. Not until the work is done and that Dark Master guy is put out of his misery for good. Besides, I was going to go get Monty and have him stop the fight. And Eldin, your our ticket to go there and get him." She went to him and kissed his cheek. "It would suck if your people just shot me just to collect a demon you know." Joker nodded. "This is true. I agree. This is true." For some reason or another Joker wasn't his normal self but a berserker waiting to be unleashed by a single wrong move.
