Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rave arched one blood red eyebrow and tilted her head slightly to the side, the smile never faded even as she cracked her shields just a sliver to get a better feel of the man...

"Certainly..." Hono was even playing nice, not bothering to shift her stance or her grip on the fan, but she was not about to blindly trust a stranger. "But I can take care of myself and the boy on my own..."

"Ah.. then I take it that you know where we are?" Raven nodded her permission for him to retrieve what it was that he was going for, studying him with more than just her eyes.

It looked like a shade, and it definitely had that cold lifeless feel of a shade... but there on his voice was an entirely different being. "I say, how in the world did you manage to find me, did Sun send you too?" sweatdrop

"Don't worry, he will be out for a while..." Rave batted long red eyelashes at him and smiled as she stepped back and swirled the cloak around herself, disappearing withing the guise of the shade.. with the exception of the tensen.

"Sierra? Yes.. we have met..." There wasn't that much more to it.. they hadn't really talked and she didn't know the other red head all that well, although she had wanted to get to know her a lot better. "Operative? Unless I am very wrong you are not GSF..."

Hono would have smiled at him, except that it took her a moment to remember that touching people was a bad thing.... She snatched her hand back and huddled withing the cloak. "Unless you want to take a nap, like the boy, I would not suggest touching me..."

Rave pulled her shields in tight and tired to convince that nasty little part of her that was always hungry that this new man was not a snack! She would have thought that snacking on Silver was good enough for the next day or so at least stare

Hono had a tiny glimmer of hope again...she was an incurable flirt after all xp

"We will go with you... I don't think this is such a good place for the boy to take his little nap. But forgive me if I still don't trust myself not to hurt you!" twisted That was mostly just playful teasing, but she really was still worried, hell likely the only person that she trusted completely anymore was Maxi... and he was not really around right now...

"But the boy is in my care, Sunstrike asked me to take him here for a reason, and likely I will have to bring him back when he wakes up again...although I may decide to work on his manners a bit before I do that." stare Hono was obviously not impressed by Silver Alexander.. but who could blame her when she was on such close terms with so many of the movers and shakers who had walked the halls of the stadium.

Alpha was impressed at Victor's quick grasp of his new-found powers. Even to the point that the shadelord wondered how much of it was the will of the Forgotten, and how much of it was the mortal's aptitude. Not that it was a surprise. No, the power of The Forgotten and the ability of the Murmilion people were well suited for each other. The problem was that it was always a risk to make the strong stronger. But these were trying times combined with ideal opportunities.

Risks needed to be taken.

"This company Ra'kar." Alpha spoke coldly as he moved forward, "Will it have to be taken care of before we venture to the surface? I am prepared to go otherwise."

"Let us."

Victor wasn't the only one quickly matering the power around him, Alpha had shades examineing the island as they spoke. The main asset was the powerful warp energies that accompanied the rock, the same ones that Victor used to flawlessly move from one place to another. To apear to the right person at the right time. Smooth, causual, controled, and well timed.

But Victor was of this world, and Alpha was created of the one the world wished to forget. Event the chaotic warp energies would still rebel against the forgotten. Victory found his power easy and naturaly, Alpha would have to subjugate the energy first.

It would happen fast, first a crackle of warp energies around Alpha's hand. The flash of irradecent blue energy against the inky black gauntlet of the shadelords arm. Then with a lunge he seemed to tear through the fabric of reality, but in truth all he was doing was forcing the energies of the island in no way a mortal being would if they vauled their very matter. Alpha was unafraid, perfectly willing to pry the energy open until it obeyed. His portal opening further and further with no look of emotion or strain gracing that one red eye. And when he had made his unconventional portal, he would sidestep, holding it open for Ra'kar as if he was a gentleman.

"This shall take us to the surface." He waited there, "After you.".

Having turned away from the group, with his part done, Victor made his way down the hall, leaving them to further bickering or to actually getting on task.


For his part, Victor just wanted to be left to his own devices, the Blade of the Forgotten held at his side, even as he slipped through an archway.

He continued walking forward, his overcoat flapping gently as he tried to tune out the soft voice in his head. The Forgotten Blade seemed to be quivering every so often, as if the blade itself were trying to speak to its new owner.

"......."

He stopped, as fresh air finally hit his face, standing upon the threshold of a sweeping balcony, overlooking a greater part of the Island.

He stared out with his single good eye, bemusing the current state of affairs.

Things are coming to a head now.... just a bit longer... and I can...

Lifting a hand, he cupped the side of his face, before turning away completely.

"Let's start."
