Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kai smiled, nodding. “Just a bit. Though somewhat unpleasant, as some bring their bodies and are fighting to stay in one piece. But it is a bit disturbing to be attacked by a man wielding his own arm as a weapon.” She mused, sounding as though she’d seen it before.

Kai nodded. "Those too. Then again, anything undead has a bit of a scary effect. Though, it's amusing when it's all an illusion and knights run screaming." she said, smiling innocently as though she had never done such a thing.

Gwen nodded, going after her. She didn't need to lead Tyri, the horse was smart enough to follow herself. And she wouldn't stray far from her mistress unless told otherwise.

Leena burst out laughing at how she said what she said and then smiled so innocently afterwards, falling into giggles before finally calming. "They would. Most people aren't used to seeing things dead come back to life. But I've never thought about just casting an illusion to frighten people off. I usually just summon up the real thing. Maybe I should reconsider so I can save up on spirits so to speak." She giggled again, a servant had already taken away her empty bowl and glass, the reports already gone as well. "What shall we do now hm? Those were the most urgent reports and I've already done what I need to with them." She didn't mention that she had used spirits to communicate her commands to who needed it, warning Vadasz as well why he was flying about outside.

Amaya quietly nodded her head. It may have seemed odd, but it was all a matter of awareness and safety. It was harder to poison her food if no one ever watched her eat. But she knew Gwen understood and knew that she had either already eaten, or would eat soon. The young princess would never make an exception on this rule.

Dais spent the next few hours putting the library back together. It was no coincidence that the shelves had fallen. He had spotted more shadows slinking away. He had silently directed Aldon to follow the one that had exited the library after Leena and Kai. Luckily, the elderly librarian allowed Dais a break, though Dais was not completely fazed. In his previous occupation, he was used to strenuous activities.

The library assistant took a breather outside and sipped some water, following Aldon's senses. From Aldon's ventures, it seemed that the shadow was really following the two... into the palace. That meant his suspicions were correct. However, what was troubling was that Aldon was a little nervous and looking around quite a bit. More of the shadows were converging around the ferret.

Dais was going to have to step in. However, Aldon had already entered the palace quarters. Dais, obviously, could not enter through the front door, and Aldon was beginning to scurry through the palace as unnoticeably as he could while dodging the shadows.

The other option Dais had was to find the source of the shadows. There were many possibilities in that as well. He would have an easier time getting through to the palace then searching the whole country. His cover was probably close to blown. The shadows must have been of Gannel.

((By the way, feel free to control the shadows or have Aldon run into the room Kai and Leena are in.))

"Maybe." Amaya laughed, laying her head back against Tuin.

Kai scooped the ferret up, already on her way to the window. She simply stepped over the window sill instead of diving like Leena did, willing her skirt to stay close to her legs and not fly up over her head. "Shall we take him with us and get a bit farther away?" she asked, brushing her tattoo with her fingertips. "Ri, dear, we need you." she murmured, tilting her head back as the dragon peeled itself from her skin, leaving a dull copy behind. The dragon filled out and grew, so that she was cat sized again. Though, if needed, she could become large enough to carry all three of them.

"Rest, Amaya. Sleep for once. I'll keep watch first." Gwen said, smiling faintly and getting up. Her things were beside Tyri and what Amaya had brought, possibly giving the impression that the princess was alone. She moved out to find a perch in a tree, a couple yards from where Amaya was with the fire. No one would think to look for her out here, and she wouldn't have to fight to see against the firelight.
