((Is it just me..or does Alianae seem too...inmortal??))
Alianae closed her eyes, the world spinning before her. After a moment, her eyes opened again.
"Terra? Ingothold." she said, speaking only those two words with a great strain.
Sarea looked at her. "Ali, they're both different dragons. Not the same being. Do you mean to say they are together? What about Halbark? It would make sense for the...remaining dragons to gather."
Alianae nodded, rubbed her forhead as if she had a headache and opened her mouth to speak. Her eyes rolled and she crumpled to the ground. Her left arm fell in a perfectly straight, alined line, pointing out a direction with a finger. Around that finger, a tiny gold dragon, it's scales flecked with shards of red shifted slightly, as if tired of holding it's position for so long. Then it settled back into form, still pulling towards the other dragons.
Sarea looked down, noting the position of Alianae's arm.
"Come. We have to go. Whatever it is that is doing this, it's urgent. There is nothing we can do to help her."

Sora/Kalios looked at Alianae's seemingly lifeless body. His head turned to Sarea, and ran up to her. "Sarea!" he called out. "What happened to Alianae?" he asked, the words pouring out in a torrent. "She's not...dead...is she?" he finished, his head turned to her unconscious body.

Sarea shook her head. "No, she's still alive. But if it's happened already, then we really do have to hurry! She'll be fine after awhile. I think.." she paused, wondering how much she should reveal. "I think it's Fira."
A tingle ran up her spine, making her shiver.
[a/n for the record, I just shivered after I typed the line before this..so, I felt it was appropriate]
She closed her eyes and shook her head again, her long tresses swaying to and fro. "Sora. Find Terra. May, Minasia. Search for Ingothold, if you can. They are our only clues." In explaination, she added, "There are some things only Fate herself can know. Badger her all you want, but she will only reveal what she can. The rest is always left to you, although she may help along the way. There are times she cannot intervene. This, would be one of them, I dare say. So we have to make the most of what we have. Let's go."

Though Minae, at this moment, shared some odd facade of herself, either a very vulnerable and frail one, she bravely nodded as she used to upon given a mission and waited for May's instant reply.
"Aye, I will go look for my Dragon and Friend, but..., May paused, as if hesitating on finishing her question, but shook away any shyness. But what if I canT' find ingothold; that he's already part of something else, say... ME."
"May, you don't really mean that..."
May simply shook her head and grinned as she just realised herself what had happened.
You see... A few moments before MAy actually joined her Queen, either Minasia, she had managed, through thick and thin, to join Ingothold with her mind. Though the link was barely there, May had managed to forge a wealthy one through brief meditation... And slightly abused of the Blue Magic.
See, though this would normally require a life and a half of strength, May accomplished what Alianae had forbade her time after time; This devious little girl had transfered her Dragon's soul and mind into her own, thus taking in certain... Abilities that her tender, other half, had.
This technique, though it seems inhumane and cruel to both the Dragon and it's Owner, as they both suffer terrible changes through their minds and body, it was often practiced once upon a time when a Rider's dragon was about to die.
Often... Once or twice did it happen, should I say. In both cases, though, the Rider and Dragon were sieged by some force unkonwn by them at the time; this would be Fate, at her purest state.
IN ANY CASE, this is what may had accomplished in such a... Hm. Time; does it really mean anything when one is in the very Place in which it exists? [Also FTR, what if time stopped, or sped through when in the place of time? Hm... I wonder what would happen...]
"MAY!"
With a slight snarl, Minasia had slapped her protector across the face and gave her a near poisonous glare, never redirecting her gaze alsewhere than in the ocean which were May's eyes.
"You foolish infant... You could've died! AND killed my dragon all at once!! And then what would you have done? You would've lost both ingothold AND yourself! AND you've yet to marry and have a child! What would've happened with the heir to the magic you posess?! It would've gone to someone far unworthy of the tile of Warden. But now the deed is done... And nothing I shall say, anymore, will remain secret to you and only you, now will it?"
"Minae, calm--"
"You don't even have the right you call me by such a friendly name. You aren't even a Warden anymore... Because your blood in stain with the one of someone else who has be reincarnated more than once. From now on.. I am a Queen to you and nothing more."
((Eh.... Well, um, how should I say this...? Let's say Ingothold was never Minae's and always May's, or that everything I said before was a huge misunderstanding because if I...
WAIT!
Okay, here goes:
Minae was lost in the Placve of Time, waiting for May, when May and Ingothold took it upon themselves to offer the ultimate protection for the one they cherished; They thus 'fused' together to form the ultimate guardian. No one noticed, probably because of the magic roaming around where they are, so the odd magic they felt mostly emanating from may would've been some 'cloud' of magic flaoting about.
YES!
...
Oh, I'm good.))

((And I suppose the after shock of that would have hit Alianae, since she was keeping Ingothold safe. But then, where does she want them to go? And why is Terra with Ingothold?))
Sarea closed her eyes, as a weak link with Alianae took hold.
Find the body. she whispered.
The body? What body? Then it dawned on Sarea. She turned accusingly towards May.
"You! You knew it was forbidden and yet you still went ahead and did it? Why do you think Ingothold survived until now, even with all he's suffered? Fate kept him from dying! And only Fate alone could do that! You knew!" Sare burst out angrily, "The one time, when Fate is needed most, you go and blow her unconcious. She might not even be Alianae now, she could just as well turn against us! Fate has so many different faces, not all of them are benefitial.. And, oh! I don't have time for this. We don't have time. We have to get to Ingothold's body, now! Terra's there, protecting It, but she won't be able to hold it for long! It's too dangerous for her!"
((Hmmm..now we have to figure out what 'It' is..))

((Hm... IT would be some jewel of some sort which Ingothold protected... That would be an idea. Or maybe a secret... Something precious.))
"And yet you accuse me without even knowing my motives for doing such a seemingly selfish action. And what if I told you that Fate herself had granted me the pleasure of being able to accomplish such a magic without dying? You wouldn't dare say that Fate is a selfish woman who thinks only of her own good! And here I thought that you... Hm. In any case, you're right. We have to get to it before them. And I think you know very well who I speak of; Those that oppose the Wardens: the Avengers. Oh, I had the pleasure of hearing their voices here and there during sparse, unprotected discussions..."
"May, shut up. We have to get to Nii-san. If we don't get to his body in time, we might not be able to retrieve it in time."
Minae turned her head towards May slowly, a stern and hard look on he rface; yet in it, you could read sadness and anxiousness. She had also heasrd about the Avengers and what they had done to the few other wardens in past lives.
Meanwhile, May simply returned the solid gaze, her blue eyes drilling Minasia's emerald pearls.
"What you wish is my command, your highness..."

The Avengers... Sora/Kalios thought. He was attempting to recall the dream Sora had so long ago. Then he remembered. "The Avengers unleashed the Shade. They were in Alalea at the time, chanting in front of the...Hallway of Ancients. They must have used Kalios' body before he re-claimed it. The Will flew through his veins, and then they used the Will...the destructive power was aimed at one thing: The Shade's prison. The body was automatically returned after it was used, and most probably the Shade was stuffed in there during its sleep. "But the Avengers are many, and they have a powerful leader: Cisten" (( The Video It's the second post))

Sarea bit her lip lightly. "Yes, you are right. But they are not keeping as tight a guard as they should be. They might not know about..." she trailed off. "They're watching the Will. Waiting for the perfect chance. They may not have noticed yet. So we have to hurry. Before they notice.." She turned to May and Minasia. "Nobody but Fate herself knows all the secrets she holds." she sighed, "Sometimes, it is written that one must go against Fate, to bring what Fate desires. This is most likely one of those cases. For now, let us put aside our arguments, and rise to the one cause. For without....
The Avengers shall not prevail!"
Unseen to the others, a thin ring appeared on the middle finger of Sarea's right hand. She glanced at it, suprised for one moment, but otherwise ignored the fact that Fira had just split, moving to her, and yet remaining with Alianae.
"Come. There is no Time to spare."

Sora/Kalios ran after Sarea in the Places, and actually listened to what she said about Time. Just the way she said it made him ask, although he kept running. "When you mean Time, do you mean one of the Sisters who controls Time? Just as Alianae is Fate?" he asked, as the Place slowly changed from the white background to a forresty tunnel with a light up ahead.
((This is just for fun:
DON'T GO NEAR THE LIGHT!!! LIGHT=DEATH!!!))

Sarea paused for a moment. "In a way, yes. That is what I mean. However, Time has not been with us for..a long time. And this Place has run neglected. It has no truename, only Time would know. And only Time would know when Time becomes Time once more. Which makes our coming here..highly risky. This Place..is barely controlled, and Alianae and I have little to no control. IT it decides-" She stopped suddenly, throwing oout her arms so nobody would step closer. She closed her eyes for a second, taking some time to think.
"This is what we were afraid of. But there was no other way. Go forward without Time, there is nothing but Death. Go back, adn we are trapped forever. Either way, only Time can save us now."
Unexpectedly, - and yet, it was also expected - she turned to May next.
"Look at me. Saurulia. You are the only one who can help us now. For your sake, your sake, Ingothold's sake and for all of Alagaesia, Alalea and Alia. Come to us now."
((I have to go now.))

"And since when to you call upon me in such lethal times, Sarea? Don't you know better thatn you make the dead rise from their graves?"
Well, if you didn't recognize Saurulia's rather morbid and sarcastic humour... You're not alone. But nonetheless, May had already taken the necessary mesures to let her mother take over, letting her mind be taken away by memories that were both hers, as well as someone else's.
"I should warn Asarae, Though... our intrusion in her domain might utterly disturb her and force her into unwanted action..."
(NOTE: Asarae is like the second ruler of time. She's the one who makes the decisions as to who does what when. As the hierarchy states, Asarea is in the following position:
Wyrda(Fate)
Time
SaraeShyianyo(that girl in the other RP)
And then there are our little Wardens... But the Key comes first, of course.))

((So Alianae decided who does what, Saurulia/Asarae decides when and Sarea I suppose is in charge of why? that could be interesting.))
Sarea sighed, a small smile on her lips. "Since Alianae is not able to and we need you. And because.." She flashed Saurulia a mental image of Fira. "And the long deead cannot rest until their purpose is fufilled. You know that. As you always put it, it is Fate's will. You need to teach May. And we need the Name. What happens next is already determined by Fate, Asarae needs only to determine when, and thus she shall be ready for us."

"Asarea, I'm afraid, is not in the best of her moods... She seems quite upset with us, to tell you the truth... No, not upset; FURIOUS. She hates being woke up over a little thing like this..."
"LITTLE?! THIS is LITTLE?! The very fate and destiny of Alalea AND Alagaesia is in OUR hands, and she calls this LITTLE?!"
"Hush, Minasia of the Elves... This matter, compared to numerous others before, is nothing. Now, as for Shyianyo... I suppose she could calm her down... But I doupt it'll do anything better than simply slow or time from it's warp speed at which it courses now."
'Asarea...'
'I told you. I want nothing to do with this childish matter.'
'What if I called Shyianyo?'
'Wouldn't do any good. You know when I'm mad, there aren't that many chances for me to calm down.'
'It's either that, or I kill you. But that wouldn't do any more good now, would it?'
'Well, the bird has a brain.'
'And the rag has a spine.'
'That didn't make sense!'
'And what you said did, I suppose?.'
"There's no reasoning with her; she's somehoe determined to take me out herself... In that case..."
'I'll give you the company of my soul if you do NOT harm any other of the people who will pass your gate.'
'Tempting... I accept, but you will have to stay with me until they go back through that door!!'
'Accorded...'
Saurulia, who was in may's body, let it be heard clearly, let out a deep sigh, both of cententment and despair.
"Sarae... You should know what was heard clear between the two of us... Just guide my poor girl to the end of this painful journey safely. And you, my daughter of Nature... Heed well my warning; Don't go rushing off at the first sign of life you see, for it'S not always the one you seek."
With that, Saurulia's souldeparted from her daughter's body much against her own will, but joined her part-time ennemy nonetheless. The others would be safe... As long as Asarea respected her share of the deal.
