Welcome to Gaia! ::

Now that all of the Occult group were through the portal, the magical disc of air and charred material seemed t swallow itself up as the slowly turning, tiny debris floated down to the flaw. Much of the knights in their armour bowed their heads as a sign of respect, and even Nyru had to admit he was slightly surprised by the honour they showed the Occult. Isabelle, however, was not surprised, the Occult were the reason that they were protected. Nyru's parents stood there for a second, looking around over the people before the burly man spoke up with what was almost a beast-like voice "You need not honour us, this is our duty" he cleared his throat afterwards, when their mother finally caught gaze at Nyru, Claudia, Isabelle and Adi. She smiled, with a dear curve to her lips as she made her way over rather quickly to his children, she couldn't help but only glance at Claudia before forcing a hug to her son. "Mum!" he said, opening his arms to embrace her too, he stood barely taller than her, and squeezes tight. She spoke properly and though feminine, she had that tone of voice that always warned off no-gooders. "It's been so long, Nyru. I would ask you how the Royal Guard is treating you but it would seem Darris got a little over confident" she said, pulling away from his, looking over his shoulder to Isabelle, who was already coming over for a bright hug too, she said "I trust you've behaved yourself too"
"Nothing out of the usual for me, mother" she teased. "Anita!" came that big, earthy voice, he seemed to chuckle through his rough beard before adding "You're going to smother them" as he walked over to them. He then came over to speak with them too, just as Charles arrived and greeted them too, but Anita, their mother, had already noticed him. Whilst she began speaking with him she said "Nothing wrong with smothering, Aubus".

"I didn't realise you were coming" said Nyru, Aubus stood still then and replied "Well. It isn't every day my son and his partner are accused of murder. And the queen of all, Darris has some nerve attempting to rule Declasia's realm, and the guildeam wouldn't have anything to do with it." Nyru gave a thoughtful sigh as he pondered the Guildeam's decision, surely, they couldn't still be sour from the Burning Invasion. It wasn't their fault after all. Finally though, Nyru introduced Adi. "Oh, dad. This is Rur'Adika, she's been by our side the entire time" he looked pleased, giving a respectful shake of his head as it seemed he pondered how thankful he was. "Thank you for being so loyal" he said, looking to her in the eyes. He then looked to Claudia and said "And how are you, Claudia?" with a calm tone " Haven't been clashing with Isabelle too much?" eh almost joked. In truth, he was the nicer one out of the Statem parents, Anita was the most harsh to Claudia and always has been. Aubus has had his own secretive reasons to just dislike her, but he has been less and less obvious with it over recent years."

Anita was still speaking with Charles, over with the rest of the group. The rest of the Therians had started moving again, another group going out to train in Notchwood whilst others came back to rest shortly. The Casters were taken inside with Anita and Charles to the hall for preperations not long after, leaving Aubus to speak with his children, as well as Claudia and Adi, who he was very keen to catch-up with.

First Adi gave her opinion about the Guildeam, Aubus couldn't help but chuckle and say "It's the most mundane topic. Luckily we don't have to worry about it too much in Non-Magic Earth". As he continued with his conversation with all of them, and Nyru being put back into his place, everyone was almost at the same understanding.

Claudia also expressed her boredom of the subject, Nyru was actually holding his face with his hands, stretching his cheeks like they were plastic. Isabelle watched and waited for Nyru to reply, and as he was about to say "Yeah, we can train for a-"
"Afraid we don't have any time for sparring, Nyru" Anita announced, brushing between Isabelle and Aubus, Anita's daughter raising a brow watching the woman move through tot he other side of the group. She continued with her announcement when she turned around and said " We're moving out, now. Darris won't be expecting an attack during the day, and whilst there's less shadows for the conclave to use against us the better off we are". Aubus then asked "But what about them?" gesturing to Nyru and Claudia "They're the conclave too, they need the shadows"
"I'm sorry you two, but with Darris controlling the Conclave of Declasia we can't let him have the upper hand. I know you're trained to deal with situations like this, as will they, but it will give us the advantage". Nyru sighed, it would be jsut their luck. But then he remembered the prince's mark and placed a hand over his other. He looked to Claudia as he remembered the powers they had, so perhaps they wouldn't be so neglected in the light of day. But some of Darris' men will have the same powers, according to the Prince of Crows.

"So" Anita said, brushing down her leather attire and pulling up a loose black hood from her shoulders. It sat neatly on her head, and her red lipstick stuck out like a fire. "I hope you don't mind battling alongside us, Rur'Adika?" she had a strict tone, Aubus then in that moment, almost in a bubbly sense of realisation of how stern Anita can be, added "I'm sure she'll be able to out-shine us". He spoke quieter after and said "I've heard what you can do" with a smile.

"And then you will help us take back Southmarch?" called Charles from ebhind Aubus, he stepped tot he side to reveal the young Therian. "I doubt that there's be much trouble there, but yes. We shall" Anita replied. The other Casters then arrived by Anita's side, they were all wearing their hoods and had their hands either cross or by their sides covering their weapons.
