Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yuki streatches out as she opened the window to get some light in, her leg had started to heal up and was able to walk on her own. Lokchaos and the palace went back to its normal routine though still looking dark and grim at times but it gave her a sense of peace. Walking along the halls Yuki and Everest pace together exploring wherever came to them. Everest was smiling happily but Yuki kept a fake smile, inside she had a plan to be more help but it worried her gratly having to leave Everest for awhile.

"The realm is at peace but theres much more I must do being a ruler and...." she thinks about Vertusk for a moment,"A better wife who could actually help fight not get hurt." Yuki puts her in her nursury sneaking into her own chamber, she gears up in her outfit and readies to fight alongside with the others."As the ruler I need to do my part, if the mayhem is going to end we need as much help possible." Yuki knew her ability if the dark magics could be negative but used right would be useful.


Yuki passes the nursury and feels a tug on her coat Everest looks up to her almost close to crying,"Mommy, will you come back again? please say yes." she tears as well looking at her own child ask if her mother would be gine long, it only hurt worst since she didnt know exactly would happen, this was going to be her biggest fight and just didnt know an answer, "Dear Everest I'll be back soon, I must help fight the bad people like daddy is doing." Everest sniffles and hugs her tightly, "Pwease mommy, dont get broken, come back so you can play with me." Yuki starts to sob,"I promise."

Finally she reaches the gate and looks to the palace one last time,"For my realm...and for the dark magics, I cant fail." Yuki looks away and starts to walk out finding the others.

"Do you agree with the words? Is this what you want? You have to say yes.", his words played over and over in Yuki's mind each time having her question her own authority. she hovers in the air realizing she had got herself lost, the area she decided to travel to wasnt familer. "Even in teleporting I do it wrong, I never get it right the first time." Yuki touches back down to the ground and tries to get a sense of where she was or better yet how she got there, it almost looked like her own home but it left her uneasy.

The wind picked up blowing every each way giving Yuki a strange feeling that something wasnt right,"This place,....its like my home but the wind says something different." Alert, she presses on along the path being weary of every sound she heared. Yuki hears a snap and turns sharply gripping her sythe tight if something was to attack her, waiting for a bit she loosens her grip thinking it was just an animal and moves on," I need to learn to not to panic at the smallest things."

After a few miles or so she looks forward to see a clearing, thinking it was a good resting spot Yuki gets closer till the ground gives way from under her, thinking fast she lifts her sythe up catching the edges and it snags on. She hangs holding on with one hand and looks down, by examining close she realized th ground was set to collaspe like a trap, having enough Yuki lifts herself out sighing deeply,"This place is full of obstacles, but perhaps it was an accident."

Kirk comes up to Gaband, who was not only smiling, but chuckling. Kirk tries to swipe off his head, and when it does not work, he brings the pommel to Gaband's temple. It knocks him out. Azelus was working on getting back up, and grabs the nearest weapon. A bow and quiver. He could not rise, but that did not mean he could not use a weapon. He aims and fires, the arrow goes through the midsection of the man's torso. He turns, his eyes angry and pained. Azelus looses three arrows in quick succession, the arrows impale the man in three different areas. The man dies slowly. The others get up, and Jamie nods.

"Your skill with a bow is better than I thought, I would keep it." She says with a nod. Then she grabs Gaband and they are gone. He is left there, but then he is whisked into some unknown place. He growls again. His wings are gone, but he has a bow. He checks the quiver, and it is plum full. He sees Sara as she arrives in the sky, high above him. The wooded forest was heavy, but the foliage was light enough to see her.

"Since the realms have decided rebellion, I will introduce a new thing to keep you all in check. Welcome to the first annual Quelling of the Rebels!" she laughs insanely, then composes herself. "I have stripped the advantages off the competitors. Wings, special abilities, magics, and such have been stripped. There are twenty eight competitors, there is at least one competitor from each realm. There will be one winner, the others will die. I have also made a few things to encourage the fighting! Have fun, competitors!" Suddenly in her place is the faces of each competitor. She had a grudge on him..... His face is about halfway through. And Azelus wonders how many people were watching. He gets a bad feeling about it.

Vertusk stands with a hand over his mouth. Over the sky was a huge screen almost, showing Sara, talking about some sick twisted way to quell the riots and rebellion. Then he sees Azelus, wingless, but with bow in hand. He grabs the rails as people look up, whispering and muttering about what was going to happen. She appears again, after all the faces go through. "I hope you enjoy! I would not want you all to miss out on some good bloodbaths. There is only one rule, no escape. Escapees will die." And she is out, the sky goes black, then a scene with two competitors is seen, fighting already. Vertusk shakes his head, wondering where they were.

_____________________________________________________________

Azelus tracks through the forest, wishing he could fly out of here. But he had no idea where he was.... After about an hours worth of exploring, he becomes extremely thirsty, and does his best to find water. Giving up, he makes camp, twisting some grasses together to make a hammock.

Morning comes, and his shoulders hurt from laying in the hammock, but he gets out and tests his arms. He had a restless night, always looking out for a knife through the heart, but he seriously doubted anyone would want to kill another person on Sara's terms. He shakes his head smiling. "Don't move," a voice sounds behind him. He turns to see a man with a long barreled pistol. "I said, don't move! Now, give me your bow, quiver, and any supplies." Azelus pretends to do so, but he draws an arrow, and as fast as lightning, the man is on the ground, clutching the arrow. "YOU b*****d!" He aims and shoots, but is off. Azelus clambers into a tree, and weighs his options. The screaming man was going to get him killed, so he draws an arrow, mouths sorry, and looses it into the man's skull. He grabs what supplies he can, including the pistol, and makes his way. Among the supplies, he finds a rather tasty canteen of water. Three hours into the day, he sits in a tree, aiming at a large rodent. He kills it and eats, looking into the sky for something that would tell him he could survive, but Sara had one hell of a way to make him mad.

Night was falling again as Azelus comes upon a wall. It was about fifty meters high, and had a weird flickering around the top. He aims an arrow, and as he thought, it burns when it touches the flickering. He shakes his head and sits against it. "Damn it, Sara." He hears a brush move, and is on his feet, arrow knocked and aimed. A small girl comes out, and he lowers his bow. "Why are you here?" He asks, tilting his head. Suddenly, she turns and has a sling out. Azelus jumps as a rock pelts, and makes a dent, the metal wall he had been against. He knocks his arrow again, and circles her. a man of about twenty comes up, and his sword is held even with Azelus's arrows. The two keep corralling Azelus.

Suddenly, the man looks over his shoulder, and runs. Two large sickle armed, what look to be preying mantises, come from the brush. Azelus aims and sends an arrow into the closest one's head. But it bounces off. The little girl aims and pelts the things, but it does nothing, just like his arrow had. Azelus grabs the girl and runs, the monsters hard on his heels. He ducks up into a tree, girl in hand, and climbs to the top. The monsters could not climb, so they give up. Azelus watches the girl closely, his arrow ready. She pants, but otherwise tries to recover.

When the girl has recovered, she loks up to Azelus. "Johanna." Azelus looks to her. "My name, Johanna Neems." Azelus nods and holds out a hand. She shakes it, and then looks up when Sara appears in the sky yet again. "Oh great, what now?"

"I am pleased to bring the forty eight hour report. There have been in total ten deaths. Our best killer has not revealed anything that could be used as a weakness, but when he does, you will know it!" She drones on cheerfully. "We have about forty billion viewers now, with half of Earth cheering on their favs, and Heaven working furiously to secure the victory of their competitor! Here is a snapshot of the realms watching." In her place appears realms, lots of them. Atlantis has a crowd watching, with Vertusk looking worried. It goes on to Earth, with large crowds watching the death and mayhem. Azelus turns, sickened. "Well, I will check in again later!" Sara smiles and waves, then the sky is black again.

Johanna makes sick sounds, and Azelus laughs. The two agree to help eachother, and make camp in the tree. They both fall asleep, hungry and tired.

She pants and touches her cheek where she was punched, "I could of took that guy down, I was just.....distracted." Yuki looks up and nods an apology toward him,"Forgive me, I just.....things arnt as easy as they were and I'm getting used to the challenges. Which reminds me....who are you? you know my name and yet I have never seen you before.... I have questions myself." She didnt want to admit it but he was right to help her but, if he didnt come she probably been hurt way worse then now.


Yuki looks around to find her dropped sythe but couldn't see it in sight, "Damn it all, and of all times too" Once she took a moment she summons for it in her hand bringing it to her and grips tight"So, before I question any more about you two, you have some explaining to do yourself, not just of why you know me but better yet why your friend tried to ambush and trap me accusing me as one of Sara's helpers."
