Welcome to Gaia! ::

Violet took on a face of disbelief. 'They were here! They weren't illusions! I know it...but how did they do that!?' She flashed an angry confused look towards where they were once standing, and where Celestina had tried to burn a few seconds ago. She listened as Celestina tried to explain what just happened to the queen, and she tried to listen, she really did, but she knew they had been here. Just then she heard the yelling and the loud crash of something glass shattering. 'I knew it! I knew they wouldn't just leave!' She watched as Tassen then left the room saying he would go take care of it. She knew she should say something considering she was involved and sighed. "Queen Ashe, I'm sorry this happened, but only because Moriarty and his brother would not leave her alone. I do take full responsibility for my actions, but you can't let them go unpunished!" She was just plain angry now, but tried to keep her composure the best she could.

Moriarty frowned, but on the bright side this might be a good thing. "Maybe this means we've successfully taken Illusion out of the blame." He whispered to Kat, crossing his fingers mentally. "...But why can't the queen be bothered to come after us?"

Kat shrugged, and stood up quietly, following closely behind Moriarty as he walked out of the room. He hid quietly behind his brother and didn't bother to hide himself behind an illusion.

Moriarty was wearing his usual mischievous grin as he met with Tassen. He reached back and pulled his brother to his side, tousling the clearly embarrassed boy's hair as he spoke. "So, I hear dragons are very magical creatures."

"We tend to be, as we are almost created entirely of magic. Guess why we can change our forms?" Tassen laughed at the question. He also wondered what he was going after. "So, might I inquire. What were you doing back there? As members of the same Nation, I should have the right to know what happened." Tassen didn't sound very happy, but he didn't sound angry either. He seemed like a stern parent, asking why the lamp was broken. A parent where the answer of 'I don't know' or 'wasn't me' wouldn't work.

If they were defending themselves, then they would have nothing to be in trouble from. If they where the ones to attack, something bad could come of this, and the fire and air nations needed to unite, or be swept under the chaos. He wondered if these two knew the circumstances and possible consequences of their actions?

Tassen wondered about his responce. So she was considered a fugitive. If she was with the fire nation, and they were to embrase this treaty, they would have to pardon her as part of the deal. All past trangressions would have to be placed to rest for them to become a united front against the coming chaos. "A little harsh way to convince someone, don't you think Kat?" He hadn't heard anything from him, and was cerious as to if he could speek, or was he incapable of it? Maybe he was just too shy? Tassen couldn't recall hearing his speek at all, but he tended to like staing invisible to the eye. He was counting on overly shy.


"I can usually handle myself, though being along can be very sad." Tassen recalled the days of morning in his den. He would curle into a ball in the middle, trying to distract his greif by reading books. Many of his books there were now considered ancent, and was probably lost knowledge by now. Surprising how things can so easily be forgotten by mortal. "Why do you ask that question?" This Moriarty person certainly was catching his interest. He had an... unusual mind for a mortal.

Katczinski's face grew a little redder, and still he said nothing. He seemed to open his mouth for a moment, but no sound came out. Moriarty, however, seemed to understand.

"...He just doesn't want anybody to know him." Moriarty said, putting his free hand on his hip. "We have our own agendas, and part of that involves letting him be left alone." Moriarty loosened up his grip on Kat, who quickly squeezed back behind his brother.

"All we can add is that magic is a rather precious resource." Moriarty finished. "...But Illusion likes you, so we do too."

Violet calmed herself knowing things would be taken care of and they would get what was coming to them. 'I wonder what could have possessed such an act... It had to have been direct orders from Illusion if they were that determined.' She turned to Celestina and tried to give her a smile of reassurance. Hopefully it looked real enough. "Shall we?" She asked following in the Queen's footsteps towards the kitchen.

After Vincent passed the gate, he looked around to get his bearings. "Hmm, which side are we on?" He spoke under his breath. Then after noticing something that looked somewhat familiar to him, he remembered where he was inside the castle. "So they are over there. I wonder what they're up to..." He spoke aloud once again. With his mighty flame beast standing by his side, he casually strolled toward the aura of light that his target emitted, not like he really needed it as a guide, for he could tell where this creature was no matter where he went.
