Welcome to Gaia! ::

*For a moment Nana places the book down once more and looks back at Mastema with a smile*

^_^;

You never intended me to study tonight did you?

*Nana shakes her head lightly, getting up from the chair and placing the book in her places. She starts to wander over towards Mastema. Once there, Nana sits on the edge of the bedside*

--__--

You really are too much sometimes you know that...? You silly, silly man......... whom I fell in love with. heart

*With a light sigh, it appeared that Nana was not going to get any studying done tonight. Instead she would spend her time with the one she loved. Nana closes her eyes contentedly, the kiss was more than welcomed, as was "the line". Hopefully the children would fare well on their own tonight, for Mastema had other plans*

(FTB)

*Having gainned courage enough, Nana starts toward the barrier wall. After the barrier creates an opening, Nana heads out to about fifty feet from the citadel's edge, and places the roseson the ground. Taking her dagger from its place on her right side, and removing the blade from its shieth, Nana plunges the dagger through the rose stems and into the ground. Her hands rest on the hit for a minute or so before she stands again, leaving the dagger in the ground. Nana walks away from roses and dagger, about thirty feet back, then starts casting a spell. What the spell was would soon be known as dark clouds begin to bellow around the citadel. Nana was calling a thunder storm, but why? That too would be answered once a bolt of lightning came shooting out of the sky, attracted to the dagger. The dagger itself would be unharmed, being of angelic crafting, but the roses burst into flames. Nana stands back and watches the burning pile of flora, it was both an anniversery and a sending off of sorts*

I guess it's true.... a year has gone by already. Who would have thought hmm? A year since that day..... Gabriel, what are you planning this tournament for? It is-- to kill me, or is there something more involved? ...I guess I'll know sooner or later won't I. At least I told Twilight, it might be some time before we spoke next, so he shouldn't worry I hope. Hnn... it's already late isn't it? I guess I better go and start their lesson. Hmm, I hope Eecheb is feeling better after a good nights rest.

*The thunder and lightning would more than likely continue for a while. It had been dry around the citadel lately, so the rain would do everything some good. After another lightning bolt strike to the dagger, Nana quickly retrieves it, placing it pace to its original spot and startd back to the citadel. Several more strikes would continue to bombard the already burning roses, and the scent would remain in the air until rainned out. About three minutes later, Nana was on her way back to the central tower. The barrier had opened for her again, then closed right after. Thanatos had indeed done a grand job in programing his barrier material*

*The children's lesson was going generally well, so Nana decided to make this another extended lesson. They already had most of the alphabet hand gestures memorized, as did Nana. Micha had studied over the books aswell, before hand and was better prepared then Trilla or Eecheb, though whether or not he was participationg wouldn't be known until after the lesson ended. If things went well enough tonight, then maybe Nana would start them on a few word gestures like hungry, pain, bored, happy, sad, and other simple words like that. By now the children had, had a snack; Nana also set up a little guessing game with hand signs for the children to figure out, and help them along in their learning process. By tomorrow, who knew how much they would have absorbed. Perhaps, hand signs would need to be taught to a few others in the citadel aswell. Zio, Proto, Omega Zenogais, and Alpha Zenogais for instance would merely have to download such data, but anyone living would have to read and learn that way most likely. That is to say, if they wanted to be able to communicate with Micha*

Ack. Hey come on I can't see. *Than complained jovially as Fenton bounced up and down on his head*

Fenton: mew~~~ ^.^ *The whomper sang happily, bouncing on Than's head*

Than: *sighs lightly* You're evil, you know that? Eh, I was finished anyway. *Than put down the edged pick and held the lighter in his hand* I hope he likes it sweatdrop And I hope he'll forgive me.... *He sighed again, remembering last night. Eecheb no doubt held disposition towards him since Eecheb believed that Than had "lied." Eecheb's use of that word now made Than think deeply on the subject*

Fenton: *He could tell that Than was getting a little depressed, so to take the boy's mind off the sad subject Fenton leapt down to his shoulder and lightly bit Than's ear*

Than: >< ow! Hey! dame!

Fenton: ^^ whoo!

Than: *huffs lightly and pats Fenton* Okay we're going.... *Than gets up and leaves the room with the lighter in hand. He would most likely return the lighter to its new owner and talk with Nana about it, depending on who he found first. He just hoped that both would see his point of view*

*Then headed to the end of the hall and summoned the elevator. It was sort of odd, since Zio could teleport anything from here to there. Still, Than stepped onto the elevator and set it to go to the 98th floor. Once there he would try to give the lighter to Eecheb. However, if Micha and Trilla were around, he may just wait to give it back until after he spoke with Nana, as not to get early questions from his siblings and then give presumptuous answers*

*Mastema would not be found on the 99th floor. Most likely he was off seeing the final part of the invasion*
