Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cirok returned to Eva's bedside " i know you been listening to what he was saying. he shows great promise and it regrets what he had done earlier. He shows great sorry and fear inside his eyes." he told her " should i get him as well as Zorin and the 2 newest recruits?" he asked her.

Eva smiled kindly, the light was already returning to her. Atleast she could regenerate herself fast. "Yes, but first I want to meet this man, I want to see him for myself..." she said. "Then talk to me, for now gather the new recruits, I would like to meet them too. The last thing I want them to see of me is collapsing in the field" she said slightly embarrased. "And I would like to make an assignment..."

Zorin actually seemed impressed, this was something that was really impressive especially if it came from something outside of fighting. "I am impressed by your work." he said not afraid to state it full out. "You are definitely a bard of high stature indeed, we are happy to have you recording the story of the great war of Gaia.
Tyrin grinned happily. One day he would grow old and his discendents would hear of this, and he would give a great name to his family. Yet he realized he was getting ahead of himself. Asurath was still out there and was as great as an opponent as any. "Its truly an impressive beginning." he stated, his white fox tail swishing happily behind him.

"Thanks Cirok", said Albertus before climbing up the stairs. He knocked the door, and then entered the room. He saw that light dragoness on the bed and guilt invaded him, he whispered: "I'm sorry". He went to her bedside, knelt at her side with his eyes closed (her shining was hurting his eyes, used to the darkness from the underworld), and said with respect: "Thank your for receiving me, your Greatness. I have something to ask, i was told that you, dragons, might have a cure for people cursed by a Shadows's life draining darkness, and if it's true i beg you to give me it. I would be eternally gratefull and indebted. If you help me, ask away anything, and I will do it without questioning."

Hild saw the dragon flying out to the place where he was to call Zorin and Tyrin. Before he could say anything the dragon went away. "Another one for my Epic!" he said with a big smile and shining eyes. He would follow them anywhere now that he had Zorin's autorization. Happy with the sequence of events he started playing his guitar and singing an old song from his land: "I'll tell you a story that happened to me / One day as I went down to Youghal by the Sea / The sun it was bright and the day it was warm / Says I, "A quiet pint wouldn't do me no harm/..."

Pain filled his eyes with her question. "If you truly wish to know, Miss Eva, my story i will tell." He stoped for a moment, looking throw the window, his thougths reaching Irisis. He started: "I'm Albertus Dragonchaser, a Shadow, a being born in the underworld and made of pure darkness. In a secret mission to retrieve an artifact for Asgurath I got severely injured by the magic protecting the artifact. I was found by a girl in the forest near the artifact's ruins. Her name was Irisis. She took care of me 'till I got better. Knowing nothing but the evil, death and darkness from the Underworld I got impressed by that girl's kindness and started living with her when she told me that she was alone in the world. One day other underworld beings appeared and tried to take me with them. I fought them off, but in the fight I accidentaly hurt Irisis with my life sucking darkness. I searched for a cure, taking her with me. One lucky day I found a master samurai that promissed to tell me of a cure for the curse that hit my wife if I could control my true nature. I had trained with him 'till I became a master samurai, and then my Master told me: The Dragons in the Realm of Light may know of a cure. I left my wife with my master and came here, searching for the dragons and the cure." A tear crossed his face with the memory of her pain: "It's all my fault Miss Eva. She got hurt by my fault because i couldn't control my cursed blood, and now i have commited the same mistake in my duel with Volt, i lost control again. I'm a shame to my master also because of it. And then YOU corrected my mistake, healing with your holy light what I have cursed with my darkness, and now you are weak, but that moment i knew that you could help me." He stopped talking, waiting for her answer. If she could do only one more thing for him, but maybe it was beyond her power.

Eva smiled slightly. "I know the cure, but the curse can only be lifted by that who applied it. You should have an even greater drive to come with us now because the cure you are looking for is an artifact or light tainted by darkness. This artifact hangs around his neck." she stated. My magic is yet to be anywhere close to that of my mothers. All I can do for now is give you a temporary cure to keep the curse from getting any worse. Suddenly she reached out her hand in a fist, it glowed with a light for a few seconds before dimming. She then opened it up. On her palm was a small golden crystal on a necklace. "Put this around her neck, i am not sure how long it will last." she said. Slowly she sat up in her bed, swinging her feet around to hang them off the side before jumping off. "For now it seems your destiny lies with us" she said kindly. "Please follow me downstairs, the others should be waiting"

"I appreciate your kindness Miss Eva." He swore in his mind that he would give up his life if it was needed to save Irisis, if it's what is takes to correct his worst mistake. If Asurath was the obstacle that needed to be removed, so be it. He got up and followed Eva downstairs. He noticed something interesting, his dark blood was quiet since he felt that dragoness light. Could it be removed forever? He wished, but that's a distraction that could be his end. He looked once more to the golden crystal that Eva gave him and put that in his pocket. He needed to take that to Irisis as soon as possible.

Hild followed Tyrin and Zorin closely, the kitsune seemed to like his song, so he kept singing while following them: "I went in to the barman, I says, "Give me a stout" / Says the barman, "I'm sorry all the beer tis sold out / Try whiskey or vodka, ten years in the wood" / Says I, "I'll try cider, I heard that it's good ...". Bringing happiness for the people, that's what he was good with. When they entered the castle he stopped, in respect.

OFF: That's the music Hild was singing: http://youtu.be/u56R_qHTLVI

Eva smiled at him. "Please, just call me Eva" she said as she moved forward. "We are happy to have you fighting for our cause" she said when suddenly she looked over and saw Zorin and Tyrin walk in. She first looked to Zorin and smiled. "Long time no see Zorin."
Zorin of course bowed and smiled. "It has been a while Eva, I hope you are feeling better."
She nodded and smiled before turning to the kitsune. "Arn't you cute." she said with a smile making Tyrin blush. "But I can tell you are also a great warrior, escuse me for insulting you."
"No mam, it was no insult, thank you for your compliment' he said with a bow. He already liked her very much.
She then looked back at Cirok wondering how volteck knew him. "You two know eachother?"
