Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Well, since I was at a loss as to where the heck Minasia was, I'l just say that she somehow regained control of her own body and is now panicking and searching for may.. If it isn't a problem... WAIT!!!! she'll be in one of the Places. ^^))

Minae had finally woke up, The mental stress from constantly fighting the shade's grasp and Kalios' helplessness had been too much, thus causing her to black out for a while. But now, she was okay; at least, physicaly. In her mind and thoughts, though, questions that brought more roiled.

'May. MAY!! Where are you? More importantly, where am I? I have no clue as to what in the world I'm doing here, nor what happened for me to actualy get here! Please... at least tell me you're okay!!'
'Minae, calm down, I'm fine, and so is Sarea and Alianae. We're... Somwhere. I'm not so sure myself, actually. I just know that Sarea and I are trying to find a way to get out of here and get to you. Are you SURE you're not somewhere you know of?'
'Well, now that you mention it... These sybols and pillars do look aweful familiar... One of the places, may--'
'ONE OF THE PLACES?! Minae, whatever you do, STAY THERE. We're going to find a way to reach you. Somehow... DonT' know how, though, since you'Re not here.. And alianae seems to have walked out on us. Well, this isn't gong to be easy...'
'You mean you're ALONE?!'
'No, I'm with Sarea. Alianae is.. Somewhere...'
'And Sora and Kalios?'
'Minae...'
'No... Don't tell me that he...'

Mina sighed and rested her head in her hands, before tryign to make sense of this all. While rummaging through May's shared memories and what she was told, Minae tried to piece together this puzzle; It was useless... All the answers kept escaping her at the colsest moments... If just alianae was here....

"You question the wrong person. I am the one because of whom she is here; Because of whom this situation, my life even exists. You seek out answers where none exist, old friend."

How did she just...? She shounded so familiar with this... Ether, or spirit, that it almost frightened her. Then, May just started to notice what was happening. Her mother, well, her 'older' self was actually speaking for her.

'I mean you no harm, May, just as you mean none to me, I'm certain.'
'Mother...? But, if we're the same person, how can I...?'
'Because wyrda made it this way. I don't know why, but I'll be here for this moment, and this moment only. After this... I'll be one with you, and you, with me...'
'If it must be... Just try not to roughen up my body too much.'

May could feel a grim acknowledgement from the split soul and let her take charge... For the time being, that is. She wwould let her 'mother' take over the time to let this... 'Spirit' know who they were then take back her place in May's mind and thoughts.

'May... How come I can't see through?' Minae asked fervently.

Yes, it was a technique used rarely in Alalae, quite like scrying; You could diverge your soul from your body. Keeping only a small link with your body not to lose it to a desiring soul, you 'travel' to the body of the person that has opened up to you and can thus see through that person's eyes. But right now.... Minae only saw fragments of memory floating about.

'That's because the part of me who was my mother has taken over for the time being. I'm just in my memories...'
'But...!!'
'Don't question it, even I'm not that sure I understand... Just leave it be, and I'll talk to you once all is good and done.'
'Promise me...'
'Of course.'

((Ellesmera would make sense... o_o Wait; Wasn't it in... Ellesmera, right. Sorry, just trying to set things straight in my head again... ^^'''))

((Ugh..this is going to need a lot of explaining. What was the last thing that happened that yoiu know of?))

((Shoot..It was actually 47..when they had just entered the 'tunnel' in the Hadarac... Ehh.. it would not be possible to give every detail..I'll try as much as I can, everyone else can add details if needed.

Sora got (shot?) at the other end of the tunnel and was healed by Islanzadi's healers. Minae ran off to find Ingothold, Alianae took Sora to a clearing, where he remembered stuff..and tells him he's not just the key, but a Warden as well, the fifth one, and Sarea is a part of Alianae so much, that she doesn't count as a seperate Warden. The Shade attacked Kalios (?). Sora and Alianae go through a passage to a Place, they have been transported to Alalea. May joins them.

Now..the shade has dissapeared for a moment, Kalios' mind is merged with Sora, his soul is with his true body that Alianae made for him, but it's wreathed in flames. May and Minae are in Ellesmera, in the Place of Time, Sora and Alianae are in Alalea, the Place of Hugin and are about to go to the Place of Time.

May's been..taken over by her mother for the moment, because they're being questioned by an ancient being..and should soom be discovering the truename of the Place of Time.

Terra is in Ellesmera, so is Ingothold..Fira is still on Alianae's finger as a ring.. No idea what happened to Kalco and Halberk. That's up to you.

Did I miss anything??))

((Someone needs to post a REAL roleplay post. Who's turn is it anyways?))

((And here I was thinking I could get no further without a post from Mina..ah..well, I wasn't on till now cause I had Fencing and a medieval birthday party yesterday, and collecting for the Red Shield Appeal today. So I'l post now..let's see..))

Alianae took Sora/Kalios' hand. I'm not quite sure how this will work. I've never done it with some else to take along. Although, you are Wardens, so it may be easier. Just..don't do anything. she commented softly.

She called the purple portal forwards until it hovered just in front of them. Alianae drew the hand that held Sora's out first, so both of them would enter at the same time.

This may feel a little strange. she said. A tingling wave poured up, through the hand which was now dissapearing into the portal and through the rest of her body. The portal moved ever closer towards them, enveloping them in a glowing purple nimbus.

The light around them flashed for a second, and the colours began to swirl. Red and blue light swirled around them, green at the very tip and bottom, slowing spreading towards eacher other. The portal stayed essentially purple though, until another flash, this time white. Now the green was replaced with blue, although it was a faded, dull sort of blue, rather like paint that had been neglected.

The light faded. For a moment, it seemed as if nothing had changed. Then, a voice cried out to them.

"Alianae! Sora! What are you doing here?"

Sora/Kalios looked at Minasia, sadness welling up in his eyes. "My body's corrupted by the Shade at a far deeper state than ever before. The Flames are the full power of the Shade pouring out in the most fickle state found: Fire," they said. "My Soul is hidden in the Flames, protected from the corruption," they said once again.

They unclasped their hands with Alianae, and looked around the Place. "Alianae is hiding the secret of the Soul from both Sarea and May. Whether our secret is protected is beyond us," they said, then slipped off from a monotonous voice into a more concerned one. Two beings converging in one barely register the exact same emotions at the same time, causing most neutrality. "How are you doing, though? We haven't seen anyone else. And we have NO clue whatsoever as to Terra, Kalco, or Halbark's locations. Have you seen them?" They asked, a look of concern showing plainly from both Sora and Kalios on Sora's face.
