Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kari walked next to lyoko as the followed, taking in thier surroundings with minor interest. "Quite a place you have here." She said, having to step up her pace to keep up with his quick ones.

Ryu smiled "thank you, I like to think I improved upon it, particularly with the garden here. The previous owner was far to basic and utilitarian, now display what-so-ever." He leads her into what must be the dinning area as it had a long table with many seating cushions around it. He gestures fo rher to have a seat as he himself sits at on end of the table.

The Hunters slowly crept up on Aideen, the older hunters were more cautious and readying their special nets. but the two remaining brothers were ready to make her pay for killing their brother and rushed out from their hiding places, spears raised as they attacked. The oldest of the hunters could only shake their heads and think of how many more losses they would take in this hunt, but they weren't gonna jump out just yet, they were down wind of her, plus they had scented themselves in forest plants that would help keep their cover, the brothers were a loss, but this catch wouldn't be.

The garden had a large Japanees maple tree near it's center with a decent sized Koi pond near it. A small stream cut from the pond, which it turned out was also a small spring, went under the small bridge that was part of the path they walked along, and lead to under a small, neatly stacked pile of river stones at the northwest corner of the garden, a kind of small bamboo forest occupied mouch of the south west corner of his garden. Stone lanterns lined the path every five feet for a total of ten lanterns.

Ryu had clapped his hands and four servents walked in, each baring a large platter of foods which they laid out on the table before them. He gestures to the now laid out food and said "feel free to have whatever you wish. You are my welcome guest and so indulge."

"Thank you, it looks wonderful." It had been a while since she had had a decent meal so she took small portions of almost everything. She mostly took vegetables even though there was a good amount of meats on the table.

She held up her glass in responce to his toast. She drank her wine slowely, it was very good. Soon she was finished eating and she'd drank her wine. For some reason she was feeling exhausted and was trying to force back a yaun.

She was too worn out to resist or pull away. The collar felt bulky and thick around her neck. She had been tricked and she wasn't sure if she could find a way out of it.

Ryu smiled some, it was an easy catch, but he was certain Lyoko could still prove entertaining. He looked to his servents and said "make her more presentable and have her in my chambers within the hour." The Servents responded by picking her up and carting her off to another chamber, further in the palace. Once in this room, strip her bare before they begin to bathe her, cleaning the road from her and preparing her as if preparing a queen. However, when it comes time for her to get 'dressed' the clothing is anything but royal. Rather a simple length of red cloth with a long cut in the middle of it is drapped over her, poking her head through the cut. A cord of golden rope is tied tight around her waist, turning that cloth into a dress that is open on the sides and thanks the cut, offers a plunging V-neck, allowing for a good supply of clevage to be shown, while still covering enough. The servents them take Her to his chambers. A massive room with murals of beauty in various depictions on the walls and ceiling. A large four post bed dominates the center of the room. The servents take her to the bed and lays her there, then leave.

At the moment of her attack, nets suddenly fly out from the forest, but these are special nets. Upon touching her they first send a wave of stunnign pain shoot through Aideens body. Then their second enchantment kicks in forcing her to revert to a human form. Once she was a human tangled in their nets, the older hunters approach, spears pointed at her. Not so powerful now. If you know what's good for you, you'll not fight anymore and do as we say.
