Welcome to Gaia! ::

With the kiss my eyes flickered open, waht might have been a blush covering my bruised features. "Scarlet?... I need to tell you everything that happened.....Scotts, im not ready to say this publicly." He nodded knowlingly and walked out of the room. I related all the horrors of th encounter with excrutiating detail, emphasising the important bits, the small amount of information I had gathered, mostly that my older sister, Kaie, was the leader of the government and crazed ruler of the world, but the worst part, she was the one who killed them, my family. She was no part of anyones family.

I felt tenderly at the emblazoned mark ony my palm. That to be the worst of the tortures, she had tried to claim me, the mark of two swords crossing was burnt deep into my hand, I turned on my bed, and groaned from the pain, I would need to summon healing for the minor pains Scarlet had went over in her healing. I layed in my bed, Kaie tormented me, an evil figure distant but just as threatening. I shivered as teh distant roll of thunder and lightning boomed through the air. I couldn't stand remembering but I couldn't stop, it burned me to my soul. What if she ever found out about my connection to Scarlet? After Kaie's defeat she would surely want both of us dead or captured, but who would she use to acheive the other? I prayed to the gods with all of my might I would be the to under more tortures, leaving Scarlet free, as free as a flame, as free as petals on the wind, I would endure any cage for that.

I instinctivly reached toward the consciousness, Scarlet....you are better than her, do not stoop to her level. You cannot....please. I had no real strength to argue, infact it came out more a plead. I stood up from my bed, using my druid staff as a walking cane. I walked into Scarlets room, a stern face on, "We will face her with rightiousness, she needs to be taught a lesson but it will not be taught by another evil," At Scarlet's scandalized look I shook my head, only slightly wryly, "No you aren't evil but what you could do with that pentagram was. Kaie will know her demise at the hand of the virtious, honorable, defenders of rightiousness. Not like this Scarlet...not like this." I layed a hand on hers. I looked into her eyes, my eyes where slightly dimmer than usual, they had cause to.

Sorry it's taken me this long guys. But just 'cause I'm posting now doesn't mean I can be on a whole lot either, so I'm sorry for that too.

Ezri woke up and instantly felt the immense pain that her previous unconsciousness had been hiding from her, and she wished nothing more then to slip back into the black abyss of her mind to once again escape this feeling. But, she knew that couldn’t happen. She had been stuck in this hell hole for what she could only guess to be weeks with nothing to pass the time then her sleep and the regular sessions of pure torture that her captors put her through. This had to stop. She was tired of the pain and the feeling of uselessness. Her other attempts at escaping through pure force had been utter failure, but this time was different. She had a plan, and she was going to get out of here. Now all that there is to do is to wait for the opportune moment to make her move.

"Hey!"Scarlet pouted in defeat folding her hands and glared at Drako who just glared back.
"I'm just going to have to take that chance DRako because I'm probably the only who can actually defeat my own father.Drako? You have powers taht you haven't even tapped into yet.You may want to start trying to find them becasue you may have to use them very soon here in battle."
SCarlet held her gloved hand over the remains of the pentagram and they flew onto the ground around Drako who gasped in horror as he realised that he couldn't get out.
"Scarlet!What are you doing?"He screamed at her.She mearly smiled as teh pentagram glowed purple and the light surrounded Drako.
As the light faded,DRako was standing.His body was healed.
Scarlet smiled.
"Dark spells arn't always evil Drako!"

I rise from the ashes of the large crater that once had been the estate. The blast had left it in shambles, like that of a bombed out church. He had done the unthinkable, he had gathered enough energy to do a kazi attack.He was most likely drained from the experience.

I stand, my cape had taken the blunt of the attack.It obviously held out.I check the enchantments, save for a few, they were all there. I knew, the next time I faced him, I would have to be stronger. As strong as grandfather. I would never be able to face him without more training, for I would die.

I stagger from my standing position to the cliff wall.I hold onto it to steady myself. The rock face would be as easy to climb as a ladder, but frankly, I was too tired to climb a ladder. I heave myself up, and after several minutes of resting at each step, I get to the top. It was only ten feet, but each pull was excruciating. I slowly roll over, and stare at the stars. How was grandfather? Was he safe? What of the others?These among others race through my mind.

I think about how long I had been out. I summon my blade, and my blade's scabbard. I summon my rifle and point it straight up. I aim at the stars, a challenge the gods themselves. I cry a bit. He had destroyed all of them. Most likely Genaveve, and Shur'ran, grandfather Shur'ran. Even the spunky green haired Wolfgang Kyle. He was younger, only twenty, very young by my specie's standard. What was it he had said? "Don't be stingy older man. I know you aren't that bad. Be col, like me." My short stay had been welcomed by them. I hoped they were happy. Soon, I would help them rest easy. I would kill the one who did this.

I laugh, maniacally, hysterically. Revenge, vengeance, cold blooded love, blood wrathed madness. All the same. All of them, Even though they, those who act it out, call it good, revenge is only revenge. Even God given revenge, 'Righteous Vengeance' as Drako calls it, is cold blooded revenge. How could I, the one who was to lead my species to greatness, partake in such? I couldn't.

I sigh heavily as I wipe blood borne tears from my eyes. This would be harder than I thought. I would have to think it thorough. I look at my blade. I remember when I was given the blade.



---------------------

I wake some time later. I had had a dream. In it, an angel had visited me. She had told me not to use revenge, and to repent. I did. I did what she had said. I look over myself. The transformation she had put me through was evident. I was white, holy white, a light mage by all accounts. I could easily tap into the spirits of those enemies, within a certain range, and control them. I look at myself. She had transformed my clothes like she had my mind. I was white, in all white, except for the blue I also had. I summon a mirror, and look at myself. Yep, I was a light mage. I sigh, Drako was going to flip.

I summon the staff I had made with my grandfather. It had a blue stone in it, with much of his power poured in for my use. I use it too carry myself. I sigh as I ache my way to the direction of the airship to ask Drako what this full transformation meant.

Like all healing spells that one had taken part of its strength from me, I already was near passing out, I almost fell on the floor. Then I jumped with shock, a large amount of holy energy was speeding towards the airship. Before I could even turn around I had lost all strength in my legs, I dropped onto my bed and passed out. Snoring loudly, I didn't even remmeber the holy energies.

Scarlet had overheard a lot of comotion goin on outside in the hanger.She stood up abrupty and kicked the dust that the pentagram was drawn in.It evaporated quickly and she quickened her step outside to find out what was goin on?
She shouted at the men who were just gauking.
"What the hell is goin on over here?"
