Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kanna appeared a little while later and Tien after bringing Jen and Isabelle along, his silver eyes scanning the area, "Great....I can't get a lock on Troden's location anymore.." Tien said with a groan, "I guess An'ari''s smarter than I thought."

Kanna looked around, landing lightly on the ground and slowly walked towards the tombs, her eyes turning slightly almost as white as her skin, "I feel the large spiritual energy nearby.." she said, almost in a trance, "It's Dorien, but...darker..."

"Kanna..." Tien said, looking at her seriously, "The darker Dorien is locked inside that arrow...how can you feel him?"

"No chamber is strong enough to hide anyone's spiritual energy. Especially Dorien's." Kanna answered, before moving to her left.

Kanna continued to walk, her pace slow, but steady as she moved to the larger tombs, each one far older than the last unti lfinally, she reached the largest tomb there, only that had been practically effaced by time, "He's in there.." she said as her eyes returned to normal, "All three of them are in there."

Tien took a quick look at the tomb and sighed before saying, "This screams the word 'trap.'"

"I'm not surprised that he is..." a voice said just as An'ari appeared sitting ontop of the tomb, "Being in love with such a bloodthirsty woman like Kanna..." he grinned as Troden stood behind him, his red bangs covering his eyes.

Tien growled, but a lingering thought came in his mind. How did he know about Aster and Kanna?

"Your mind is very easy to read Tien.." An'ari said as he laid on his side, his head resting on the palm of his hand, "I know everything that you know now, and all because you took a peek inside Troden's mind...rather interesting to know isn't it?"

Kanna narrowed her eyes and send a powerful blade of wind towards An'ari, but it disappeared once it hit a large red barrier.

"Tsk tsk Kanna..you weren't trying to kill me now were you?" An'ari asked as he slowly stood up, "I'm disappointed in you...especially when I have the only thing that will hold Dorien in this world..." he lifted his hand and showed the image of the arrow the Nether-Dorien was contained in.

An'ari looked at Contessa and sighed dramitcally, "And I know about you too my dear. Now I have a little surprise for you..." he raised his righthand, the one that had already begun to deform and watched as it healed, the arrow glowing slightly, "Even the dark Dorien's powers are extraordinary and they are half what it would be when he is whole. Speaking of the infamous Leader...." An'ari looked down as a figure appeared in the entrance of the tomb, "I'm sure he'd love to say hello.."

A flash of emotion crossed Kanna's eyes as she saw the Nether-Dorien's form. An'ari had successfully created a doll for him... Her blade began to glow white once again.

"Now I'm afraid I must go. I see you all have much to talk about. And Dorien...keep my children alive. I want to kill them myself." a flash of malice filled him before he turned to Troden, "As for you my son...you shall finally be able have the reward I planned for you..."

Troden looked down the group before backing up, his red wings appearing as he lifted into the air, his movements almost trancelike.

Troden flew higher and growled, his hand reaching out to An'ari just the power grabbed An'ari, "Father!" he cried, sending his own fiery wave towards Aster.

An'ari growled, his hand outstretched as his other arm reached for towards the ground, a pale blue strand reaching now into Kanna's mind.

She cried out as pain shot through her body and her movements were not her own. She jumped into the air and severed the tie that Contessa had on him with her spiritual powers, "Get out..." she growled as she landed, her fans raising as her body was forced to prepare to attack once more, "Get out of my head!"

Tien growled and sent a powerful mental attack towards An'ari, making him lose his hold Kanna.

((Sorry... I'm going to try to get back in this))

Bell eyes never left Troden and when he had left a something inside her snapped, "TRODEN!!" She screamed, a small wave of watter began flowing around her.
Jen around the whole trip seemed to be blushing but now, after her sister cried out as much love has she had when their mother had left she knew something was wrong, "Now you've done it." She said looking at Troden's father and then to Troden, "Doesn't happen often but I think this little one loves you." She laughed, knowing they all knew this already but it was true. The Bell she knew had completely and utterly fallen for Troden and would do anything for him, even put her own life in danger.

Bell's eyes began glowing white before and powerful serge of energy hurled torward Troden's father, "YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE!!" She yelled. Small water droplets running down her face, "He isn't a doll you can mess with." She mumbled.

Jen laughed again, but said nothing. She was enjoying this, to say the least.
((Sorry if I'm a little off... I will edit))

Aster, the back of his shirt ripped to ribbons, dove after Troden and grabbed his feet. They disappeared, reappearing in a hallway in the palace. The floor dropped and Aster tugged Troden down with him and they landed heavily in a room similar to the one he'd been imprisoned in earlier, this one, however was rigged for complete Magical Isolation. An'ari's link to Troden was impeded while Troden was in this room and Troden could not communicate with the outside world. The room was smaller and not nearly as nice. It was a cell no windows, no doors, just a large square with a bed, small hole of a privy in the corner and a table and chair. Aster rolled away from the other man and used the wall to help stand, smearing it with his blood, "Ouch."

Contessa aimed and fired at the arm holding the arrow, walking towards him. She wanted to respond to him but knew that right now she needed to choose her words carefully, "An'ari Sulla. Be silent!" She usually only used this type of power to control raised zombies that either law enforcement wanted to interrogate or family memebers. Controlling such an active undead entity was draining, "Gate!" There was a frigid gust of wind and Contessa slumped and she and An'ari appeared on the threshold between Life and Death. The Gate to Death loomed behind An'ari, "In you go!" Contessa swung at An'ari's face.

Merlin moved to Kanna, pulling her away from Nether-Dorien, snagging ther fan as well.
