Welcome to Gaia! ::

She smiled letting her tail move side to side desturbing the ground,"Well this morning I talked to Miss Sakura Ai an her sister, they are quite a pair. Just a few minuts ago I met Haru and Mrs. Marrow. I've never met wolf demons before, but they don't seem to be much alike...Marrow seems to know you quite well." Her smile never left her face. Slowly standing Galea began to wipe the dirt off her cloths.

Galea laughed with him, seeming to give more attention to the dirt than Taqune. Spinning around just to make sure she was clean enough Galea looked up at him.
"She seems to be impressed by your fighting skills." Galea wrinkled her eyebrows as if deciding somthing in her head and she was. Finishing her little argument with herself she looked back at her friend, her shyness taking over once more."Taqune, I-I was wondering if you could teach me h-how to fight...." the muscles in her body tightened as she waited for his answer.

Galea nodded cheerfully waveing goodbye to Taqune as he walked away. She would learn how to protect herself, not needing to depend on other. Walking towards to dorms Galea called up for Morbid the red tailed hawk swooping down and landing on her arm. She began to hum again into the night air, her tail bouncing to the beat.

((W0ot for long posts... hope you don't mind if I butt it guys.. if you ill just edit this as an OOC comment and if not then YAY for me. Joy your Snuggle bunnie has come!!))

Celestial had felt these happenings a long time ago when She was returning from picking up joy. It worried hr, it wasn't good for Joy to be in close quarters with Kurai, it couldn't end well. Worry creasing her brow Celeste pushed the accelerator forward on her jet. Lurching back with the increased speed Celeste slowly began to take inventory.

Celestial had no weapons for defense or attack. if there were demons or heavenly beings she wouldn't be able to do anything. Her sister wasn't here to reason... My sister... she's alive... I can't believe I forgot about her..

"Ugh, Not now. Concentrate...CONCENTRATE!"

Groaning with effort Celestial steered her jet through space, dodging meteors and space junk, it was hard considering her mind wasn't on it. Breathing deeply Celeste tried to calm herself. She Concentrated on splitting herself, one half to drive the Jet and keep her safe and on track while the other side wander.

Celestial felt the exact moment when the gun came into play, she felt it when Joy pointed it to her heart. A chord snapped within her, vibrating. It was as if that movement was a pebble, dropped into a serene lake, sending ripples through the surface, except the lake was her soul. It that moment she knew if the trigger was fired she wouldn't make it.

Her eyes became glazed and silently Celestial cursed herself for being so darn emotional, steering this ship manually at this speed was hard enough without blurry vision. -The tears were now flowing freely, her breath coming in hiccups, her skin prickling and for the first moment of her entire life she felt completely and utterly helpless.

Flashing back to all her memories with Joy, from the very first diving contest, to the last time she saw her passed through Celeste's mind in the time it took her eylashes to brush her skin. Her breathing slowed and she became focused on the jet, driving it even faster, pushing it as hard as she knew how, each nanosecond the disturbence in the lake became stronger until it was made into crashing waves.

"...Joy...Joy oh Joy... I love you... DOn't do this to me... Not again... Please... Joy"

Joy's name became Celestial's momentum as she steered it into place and pulled back as hard as she could on the accelerator. Just as the Jet landed in the courtyard the shot was fired, everything slowled.. Time became a fluid thing as Celestial made her way from the jet.

Just as she tumbled onto the cold, unforgiving ground she saw the commotion, Kurai was ontop of Joy and there was blood. Time seemed to snap back in reality and Celestial could only move like molasses, just as time had once before.

In the distance she heard a scream. A scream of which the Screamer had lost all hope, all reason to live and was screaming as if it was the last thing that would keep her alive. As if She screamed hard enough and long enough it would be alright. Celestial was amazed to find out she had been the screamer, and in the split second that she chose to take a breath all fell silent.

In that time she felt Joy's heartbeat in Celeste's veins beat strong and hard. Joy may not be her sister by blood, but some things were thicker than that. But there was still blood on the ground. A prickle flew up her spine and she saw Kurai, laying on the ground, she could not feel his heartbeat but knew he was dieing.

Why did you do this Kurai? It will hurt her more now then ever... to see you dead and her still live, why must you still punish her, although you've saved her.

Celestial Knew she must do something, if not for Kurai then for Joy. Rushing towards them she fell to her knees and prayed to the goddess, wishing that she could remember the healing arts that had been stolen frm her so long ago. HEr soul was still and ocean but at the bottom was that serene calmness that the lake had once been. this was her feeling of helplesness, that no matter what she did for Joy, it would always whip back on her.

It was true that all Joy's smiles were the sad ones, but it was also true that Celeste barely ever smiled unless Joy was present. Not even for susie could she hold on to herself. If Joy was dead, and susie now too, then Celestial couldn't live. Not even for her love of Deimon, Not even for the memory of Winter, not even for Little Joy who was sleeping in her cradle at this moment. She could not let Kurai die, not now, not when Joy had sunken so low as to be better off dead. Even if she had todie, Kurai would live, if only for her beloved Joy.

It is an odd place I have now come to, that I, the old queen of Ice would sacrifice myself for someone who is not even related by blood. When people talked of Ria high I had always thought it a punishment, a place of strict humour and stuck up people. Of where you fight for your honor and glory and live with impurities, never had I thought that Ria would change me, mold me into this emotional, caring person. Never had I thought that I would be capable of love. Tis true that Ria is a hard place to be, full of heartbreak and enemies. Of hate and lies and hurt and death but it is also true that here people grow and adjust, or are killed or abandoned. At Ria it is not your personalities or capabilities that matter, but rather your potential, and ability to be molded. I guess I was the perfect candidate for this crazhy high school

Remembering her teachings from the crib she layed her hands on Kurai's chest and mustered her wits around her like a well worn out cloak doing nothing to protect her from the storm. Finding that bright light, her essence she pushed deeper, into the purple glowling and spinning light that threw out tendons and then spiraled and reeled them back in, her life force. Mustering her mental strength Celestial slowly brought it up through her essence, through her magic and up into her hands and breathed in to prepare to shove it into Kurai's rapidly bleeding lifeforce.

(( hehe, well at least ive proved that I can make long posts too.))

Celestial looked at Joy, her brow brimming with sweat. God it hurt transferinng her life fore. Celestial figured she'd have a minute or so to live after it was fnished. She'd need to get out of here, before Joy could guess what happened.

Using some magic interlaced with her life force Celestial dove into Kurai. She flew past his own magic and his essence, to the broken chamber deep within him. He still had some life force left but it was leaking.

Setting her face she brought more of her gift through her body, it was glowing softly. Celestial barely felt it come, it was hurting so much, Kurai was hurting so much, she was nothing, not Celeste, trying to save one only for the love of a friend, not Joy, watching helplessly, hanging onto the thinnest thread of hope, neither was she kurai, laying on the ground.

The magic came on its own and seeped into the hole, blocking it as it turned white and closed the crack. Next her lifeforce flew out of her hands to snap into his chamber. As soon as it was filled with a little space Celestial broke the connection.

With a gasp from the magnitude of the separation turned and fled, one more tear down her face as she rushed into the jet. Going into the back she sat on the edge of the bed and lay down, whispering.

"Be careful little Joy, it is a rough world in which you are left in the crib by yourself as your mother dies. Maybe Joy and Kurai could keep you, yes. Then you would have a mother and a father who would take care f you better than I."

With a sigh she let go of life, but it did not go. She looked inside herself and found her lifeforce, a small puddle at the base of the chamber, glowing and brimming with life. She had managed to save enough of hjis to keep them both alive.

Her eyes brimming with thankful tears Celestial moved off the bed and stumbled through the ship, standing at the opening, leaning on the metal doorway as she watched Joy and Kurai.

He knows at last...

Rohjin walked into the courtyard, his silver eyes fixated on the floor. He ignored everyone and made no eye contact. He was wearing a white dress shirt, black dress pants and shoes. He wore these clothing to just blend in. He didn't want to be noticed. Following Rohjin was a winged cat, Shadow, she always followed him, even if Snow and Light weren't. "Hey! Don'tcha wanna make some friends Kura?" she exclaimed in an angry voice "Or meet some girls? They're pretty ya know?"
"Shadow...quiet. You're talking too loud and no, I'm not here for relationships anyway" he said in a low voice. He saw a tree and decided it would be a good place to sit down. "We're going to that tree" he commanded Shadow "No arguements ok?"
"Fine..." the cat said. She swooped over and sat on a branch. Rohjin sat too and look around, still avoiding eye contact.

Lily stopped, and turned back to Darius. "Are you ok?" she looked puzzled as to why he was dissapointe, she had heard it in his voice. She didn't take a step back towards him, but rather stood and wondered what she should do. "It there something wrong?"
