Shina/Ashe looked down as she tried to shake off the eerie feeling that she could relate to almost everything he had just said, but on a whole new level. It was as if the deaths and abuse of power from the past was haunting her present, it was something she could not truly explain. She only knew of being pulled into the mystery once, but has it really only been once? No, it couldn't be, so she shook the thought from her head.
"I guess a lot of that would depend on his race Tassen. A mortal's life span is very short, and if he were a mere mortal he must surely be dead by now, wouldn't he? But if he were an elf or even a reincarnation - for I knew one myself, a werewolf actually - he could still be alive, or living again." She spoke kindly. "If he is alive, I hope you should get the chance to find him again."
((sorry I took so long, irl stuff has been everywhere))

(Oh no. Not a problem.)
"I was in my den, contemplating what I had done. I killed so many, I just couldn't bear it. My human friend was with me for a few years, but he had to go. He couldn't spend his whole life by my side, as that would be unfair. But you do carry a point. He had something, inside him. I don't think it would let him die without completing what it came into this mortal real to do. I do hope he still lives, or lived a very happy life." Tassen was actually glad for this discussion. He was finally able to open up to someone. Even though she didn't look old, she seemed to understand his pain, and sadness.
Tassen was liking this little chat, till he sensed something going on below. "Well, guest on my back, I think we have need to do something." He pointed his nose below, at a small area. A spark of flame shot for a moment, as a fight was breaking out. "Yup. We have a duty to stop that, especially when it is this close to the castle grounds."

"You make things so difficult." Moriarty said with a huff. "You say you have important things to do, but why did I come here to find you dawdling on the ground waiting for my brother? You don't even have to go back to Palpi Sol, we just need you to come with us to the market place."
Katczinski seemed to flicker on like an old light-bulb as he became visible again, and slowly started to stand up. He was clearly a little dizzy, and there was what appeared to be a dent in his right shoulder. His arm lie limp as he looked around at the other two with a worried frown.

"I wasn't waiting for your brother. I was thinking of how to find Violet while keeping watch to stay AWAY from him. I didn't think he had a brother." Celestina sighed and gave Violet a glance. She truly didn't know what to do. She looked at Kat, and seeing his injury, gave a large sigh, seeming to give in. "Give me one good reason to go, and I will. And not just because your moody princess wants me to be her hostage, and not to keep from fighting, because that's all your problem."

"We can protect you from your own people." He said firmly, crossing his arms. "Your country is going to have a civil war on it's hands any day now, and do you want the king's men knocking in your door? Look at how violent your people are." He said, pointing to Violet. "Perhaps she is on your side, but in our country we don't betray our own." He grimaced a little worried inside that he might be wrong about that, but as far as he knew he was right and he was going to wing it.
Something didn't seem quite right with Katczinski. He simply stood there behind Moriarty, but even being there in plain sight was unusual for the boy. There was also this very faint appearance that he was flickering, and there wasn't the usual rosy blush in his cheeks. He seemed nervous enough, but he also didn't seem to be responding to the conversation they were having.

Celestina looked worriedly at Kat. "You are right, but that wouldn't be the reason for the war. "If I was to leave Violet here, wouldn't that be betraying her? It doesn't matter to me who is on what side. However, I don't need protecting from them, only from you. Try again," She said as her mind passed through the images once again. She looked at Kat again, seeing how out of it he was, and added "or help your brother. He's not looking the greatest." she said nervously. She was almost worried that he'd take the time to fight with her before helping him, but she prayed on the fact that they were brothers.

Moriarty looked over at Katczinski, and seemed to grin for a moment, before becoming serious again. "He is fine. Sometimes Kat does some... surprising things. In any case, I'm not going back to Illusion without you. We will die before we quit. She's still waiting for you in the marketplace nearby, and it would be best if you would at least oblige her with an honest reason why we should let you go. You found Violet, she's safe and here, what more do you need? Bring her with us if you think you need to."
Katczinski suddenly seemed to perk up for a moment when his brother looked at him, but the response was delayed and seemed vaguely forced. He continued to stand there like a painting of a worried boy. Moriarty stepped further in front of Kat, trying to block their views of him.

Celestina caught thier exchanged glances and immideately got suspicious. "Maybe because I don't trust you, and why should I? You've invaded my head, attacked my princess, and are currently trying to force me to follow you in and to a place where you have no rule. She doesn't look very safe to me, at least not with you around. I just want to tend to the injured and leave well enough alone. I'm sorry I invaded your grounds, I just stopped by to ask a question. I didn't mean to offend you, but that doesn't mean you can chase me and try to capture me."
((*looks at your other post* eek it's an illusion!? that's so cheap! stare not fair. crying ))

Ashe nodded as she saw those below, a small frown on her face. "I do not believe that I will be able to bring together the two nations I will need to lead in order to fix what is wrong." As they neared the ground her mind set went back into that of a survivor, one who hated royalty and their stupid games. I hate what I am, and what I am is the worst of the bunch. She thought somewhat bitterly.
"Tassen," She said quietly as they were low enough for herself to jump off of his back. "If a fight should erupt and I myself am involved, refer to me as Shina. It is the title that keeps me focused and the pointless neccesities of being royal out of mind." And with that she landed on the ground in the middle of the fight.
"What are you all doing here?!" In a flash there were three daggers between the knuckles of her fingers on each hand. "And give me a good reason why I shouldn't have all of you arrested!"

Violet continued to listen, and her temper flared up as he began accusing her of maybe betraying her in the near or not-so-near future. She began to clam herself a little thought when she heard Celestina was most likely not leaving with them. 'Serves them right for doing all that crap. Karma will come back to bite them, and soon.' She let a small smile cross her face for less than a second and it was back to being accusatory. It didn't help when Queen Ashe suddenly landed in the room with daggers in between her knuckles looking as if she was about to kill them all. "I dunno, why don't you ask them." She then said looking at Moriarty and his brother. "They seem to have all the answers." She raised her eyebrows looking at them and knew their side of the story would be good. 'Ha, try to explain how you came in here, attacked my body guard/friend and then me, and are trying to kidnap her. Yeah, that'll go over really well.'

"Because we aren't here anymore?" Moriarty said, with a grin, and suddenly both Moriarty and Katczinski disappeared. The illusions they had left behind faded quickly into the air and the two brothers were no more.

Celestina's mouth opened wide when the brothers disappeared. Her temper flared and she ended up shooting fire at the spot where they previously stood. "Oh!" She exclaimed, letting the fire stop. Luckily, nothing was damaged. "Oh!!" She repeated again. She turned to Violet, her eyes wide and manic, before turning to Shina. "Sorry for trespassing. I just came to find my princess when I was attacked by those two for entering the air kingdom, asking where Violet was, then leaving. Apparently, the princess of air had ordered them to drag me to the merchant quarter." She looked back at the spot before letting out another angry exclamation. She sooo wanted to follow them to the merchant quarter, for she knew that was where they went, but at the same time, she knew that was what they wanted her to do. Plus, she didn't want the queen mad at her as well.

Tassen flew down, but was too big right now to enter the room, without causing proper damage to the place. "Well, if you wish to go, it would only be customary that one of the air should give you escort. If you would be so kind as to give me the privilege, I can promise you that no harm will come to you while your in my care. If need be, she can confirm for you that I have no ill intentions towards you." Stucking his head into the building. He was small enough that if he wanted to, he could possibly squeeze in. A horse could fit. He would have to be careful with his wings though.
"Oh and forgive me for being rude. My name is Tassen." All this time, his voice seemed to come from nowhere. It was as though it was spoken into your heads.

A room or two away, Katczinski took a seat on the floor as Moriarty sighed. "Okay, here goes nothing." He said walking over to a random vase. "We will not have our country blamed for our actions." He said very loudly, and smashed the vase against a wall, very clearly trying to grab the Queen's attention. "Now come and get us!"

Tassen, having the most sensitive sense of hearing, caught the sound with ease. "Those two trouble makers are nearby. I fear I shall have to rescind my offer. I shall handle this, so don't trouble yourself with it." He turned his head to Ash, to make sure she knew he was mostly referring to her on that last part.
Sliding hid head out of the room, Tassen walked oddly to the building that the sound came from. "You two, come on out of there. And don't try any illusions, you already know I can see through them, as they have no substance." Tassen was actually in a cheerful mood, despite the circumstances around him. He saw a sense of humor in all this, seen as no one was actually hurt, as far as he could tell.
