Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eva would only start to wander around the mansion. She stood around 5'3, mid-length dark blonde hair, and piercing green eyes. Her skin was a bit unclean, as was her clothing, but for the most part, she was alright.

It seemed that things were moving along nicely at this mansion. Almost like a complex for many a people to live at. Flashes of another building came to her mind. Many a laughter, and the clinking noise of wine glasses was heard as well.

Eva kept wandering.

Draeken squeezed Phia's hand lightly before letting go and looking to her. "I don know what it is, or how powerful it might or might not be, but I suggest you hide yourself just in case. Don' argue with me Phia. You're in no position to fight if things do come to that." His eyes were like ice now, not just in color, but in their hardness as well.

*Edit*

Hearing his name called out loudly, he blinked. Quickly he found the person shouting by means of his psychic abilities and spoke calmy towards her mind. "Can I help you?"

Aaaaiiiieeeee~~~!!!

The cry was oddly high-pitched, yet in it's own way deep. Though one might not be sure, one could easily assume this cry came from the small 2ft wide orb that was charging down towards the mansion from the skies. Pulsing in varient shades of blue, it seemed to lack definition, the edges of it becoming lost to clearness in what seemed to be a glow. Colors shifting and lacking definition, the orb seemed to be oddly capable of physical interaction.

A fact that was backed up by the resounding thud it made as it slammed into the side of the mansion. From there it bounced off several feet, before ramming into the cold walls once more.

This pattern would continue, until the thing reached the ground level. There, it would squeal in a hurried tone as small sparks of lightning shot out to slam the door. Given all the protective magic on the place, the Archon sincerely doubted it'd damage the building.

So you are here, Kira spoke back through her mind to Draeken's. Well, for starters I am curious to know what happened to my old home, there's a crater instead of the Black Company Dojo. But for right know? I'd say the three immortals outside your house might be of concern, especially the one comming in right about now. I've been using this mental connection to come to where you are, i have two friends with me, we can meet you in 3 minutes, I'm not sure how long the power will take getting to what she wants.

The loud crashes resonated through the mansion as the fireball hit the wall. In the tea room, artwork fell from the walls, furniture shook, and Derrek, who had fallen asleep in his chair once left alone, awoke with a start. Derrek bolted from his seat, taking a moment to grab the two nearest weapons left over from the ritual, the halberd and the dagger-and-whip. Rushing up the stairs, he threw open the doors to a balcony and looked to find the source of the disturbance. He saw the fireball shortly before it exploded into the lightning. Looking to find the source, Derrek scanned the opposite side of the river. He saw nothing at first, only a dead tree ("When did that happen?") with a young looking boy walking around behind it out of view and the normal features of the opposite shore. Could that young boy have fired the blast? Derrek waited for him to emerge, though he never did. Mysteries upon mysteries. Derrek began attempting to find the threads indicating Draeken's presence. If anyone knew what was going on, he likely would. Finding who he was looking for, Derrek began making his way there.

The Erudemasa sitting next to the dead tree smiled at the blast, as did the Erudemasa across the lake. So it was beginning. They'd known it would happen, though they highly doubted the other two members of the triumverate had known it'd happen now. Closing the book, Tree Erudemasa opened a portal just out of view of the house and moved to stand next to it. Looking towards the mansion, he waved goodbye to himself and went through to times and places unknown as of now.

The Erudemasa next to the mansion waved to himself just as the blast dissipated. Peering around the edge of the mansion, he looked for what had become of Kyiana. Peering through the timestream often left him knowing what would happen, but even with the knowledge, it was always entertaining to see them come to be in the present, such as it is for him at the moment.

With so many things happening at once, Draeken was almost overwhelmed. He was having a mental conversation, had just kissed Phia in return to hers when he parted from her and had nearly been run into by one of the recent refugees.

I had noticed them, though what they have come for I have no idea. Perhaps they are with KB and that lot, though I doubt it. As for the Dojo...Heh. I kinda blew that up a little while ago. KB was attempting to take it over and convert it into some sort of mobile weapon or something like that. I don remember clearly since my being seperated from my ancestor and his formerly evil side. You and your friends are all welcome here, of course.

Then there was the attack, or at least the attempted attack on the mansion. The orb did no physical damage to the structural integrity of the building, and nor did it really damage the shielding. The barriers shimmered and made those parts of the mansion hard to see for a second or two, but otherwise were undamaged. It was perhaps possible for a much more powerful and concentrated attack to make a hole in the shielding, but this one wasnt one such attack. With a sigh he shook his head and turned to the man that had just fallen from a balcony; or perhaps jumped?; and nearly rolled into him. "Hmm. Seems our friend KB is making his salutations, no? And who might you be, friend? One of the recent refugees from the Dojo I am sure." He smiled and offered his hand to the man so as to help him up from the floor.

He paused though at the sound of his name and the message being echoed through the hallways. It was one of the people that had previously been outside, though the door hadnt opened. "Damn it all. That definately isnt one of KB's buddies. Unless they have enlisted aid from an unknown source." He sighed again and began readying himself for possible combat.

*Kyiana would find that Sundel was already in the mansion, leaning against a wall. No real explanation would be given without her asking, though it wasn't really important* ....... *As opposed to Kyiana's calling Draeken out, Sundel simply waited for him to reveal himself. It was pointless to have them both calling his name*

Running along at a hurried pace through the forest towards the mansion, was one lone figure, moving quickly, and not knowing what he was to encounter at the place mentioned by the large mechanical thing hed encountered back at the dojo.. Assist.. Archon... the words ran through his mind a little.. Archon... it rang a bell somewhere in his mind.. was he having such a brain lapse that he really couldnt think of what the drone had been talking about? .. apparently so.. but he ran on, no idea of where he was going to come out and into view... though it seemed likely, the aforementioned, miniature demolition squad of drones, armed and prepped for some destructive endeavour or another, and their more right-hand flank was likely to be his entrance to the scene... and that was, to say the least, going to be very awkwards...
