Welcome to Gaia! ::

Liam laughed at Tamuril's reaction as he shifted in the stool he was sitting in. "Heh, glad that I might be looked upon with some sort of respect.... Well, as to what Queen Takara had told me about you.... Nothing really, actually, just your name mostly. At first the queen was trying to get me to help her, and after that wasn't working she asked me if I would prefer serving a ruler who cared. With that she told me that she had a lover. Then she told me that if you could love her that she had to have a heart." It sounded pretty corny now that he was saying it, but that was it. Now that Liam was thinking back on it her words had been stale and emotionless, yet she'd still somehow convinced him. Maybe it was also because of the frightening air that she had around him.

"...Such a very wise decision. Hearing these words makes me feel proud." Alexia smiled as she reached up and gracefully placed her hand upon Khnui's shoulder. "Even so, your people deserve to be remembered. I will be sure that in the future they shall be told through grand stories of wonder and fantasy.... But for now my son, I must bid you a good-bye. I shall return to see you again. If you desire to see my husband then you should make way over to the queen's private garden."

With those words Alexia jumped up and floated softly through the air. She flew over and then perched herself on one of the statues that were at the edge of the castle. She hopped from each one and then made one last larger leap and landed on top of the window that Cedric was currently leaning out from without even making a single sound. "Hello my son Cedric." Alexia told him with a smile as she tilted her head and looked down at Cedric. "I am interested to know what it is that you wish to teach to the Goddess of Wisdom."

Tamuril thought about what the queen was doing now. "I guess she can be a little frightening, and pretty convincing too. She still has a good heart and wishes only the best for her kingdom..." Tamuril smiled as he continued to think about her more and more, going off into his own little daze. Tamuril was snapped back to reality when he saw Liam still sitting there. "Oh, whoops. I suppose I kinda dozed off there, heh, how embarrassing. "Oh well, maybe you'll understand if you fall in love one day, if you haven't already."

A maid approached the two and asked them if they would like any beverages. She said aloud a long list of drinks they had, mostly for Liam's sake. "Sir Tamuril, who is this man? I'm afraid I haven't seen him around the castle, as of late." He supposed some of the people wouldn't know who Liam was, yet. He basically just arrived there to. "His name is Liam, he's new here." The maid seemed to bow lightly to Liam before again asking if they would like anything to drink. "I'll just get some water. And you, Liam?"

Because the rule was changed recently, I am going to tell the guilds members (via posting in the role plays) that the amount of sentences you must have per post has been raised from three to seven.

If caught breaking this rule, you may be warned or even banned.

"Mm, indeed, Cedric." Alexia smiled gently at him before gliding off her perch and landing beside him the garden. The air around her stirred, and she looked into the distance. Her pupils glowed white for a second before transforming into a delicate pink and then returned. "I must return to my husband and the queen. What you wish to display to me must wait, my son." She bent down and then leapt up, flowing through the air with her dress floating around her while she went. Then she landed in the garden, where Takara was busy giving her husband a strange look.

"Whatever you say." Takara finally responded to Domicus, looking over when she saw the goddess float down.

"Where is your lover, daughter?" Alexia asked with a soft frown, Domicus walking over and giving her a tight hug. The goddess smiled at him, returning the embrace before looking back over at the queen. "My son Tamuril has truly formed a strange yet wonderful character. He will be a good husband to you, Queen Takara."

"I know." Takara responded with a small nod and slight, causious bow. Takara had never bowed to anyone, but it would be wrong not to bow to the goddess who had breathed life into her form.

"He must come. There is much that we need to discuss at this very moment." Alexia stated, her eyes glowing for a brief moment. She called out to Tamuril, whispering his name in his mind to tell him that he needed to come back.

"What's up, darlin?" Domicus asked in his rough voice, using a hand to run through her silky hair.

"We must protect." Alexia answered, laying her head against her husband's shoulder with her hands resting on them as well.

"Not always. There've have been those dark ages where we've just been la- ow!" Domicus flinched when Alexia jabbed at his ribs. He lifted his hand up in defense, nodding. "Yeah, yeah, I get yer' point, Xia...."

"Back from your casual stroll away from the god of war?" Takara asked, her voice half sarcastic while she lifted an eyebrow at Tamuril. Domicus chuckled at her, finding her words amusing.

Alexia stepped back, looking between the three before her eyes moved and drifted off towards the horizon. "Now is a time to prepare, not for laughter, unfortunately."

Takara moved her head, looking up at her "mother" with her usual emotionless expression. Alexia looked back over at Takara, pausing a moment before speaking. "Very soon your castle will be attacked again. Tomorrow, the very moment that the sun's tips will touch the horizon."

Takara's face remained firm and cold, her mind moving for a few moments before her icy hued eyes moved over to Tamuril. No... not now. Tamuril, he could still be weak. She looked away from him, returning her gaze to the two gods that were there in front of her. "What may I do to prepare fo this?" Eveel nestled against her neck, whimpering as his scales turned a soft dark blue shade.

"Merely get your army ready, and carry these." Alexia stretched her hand out, and within them were the two diamonds that made the kingdom so invinsible. The jewels floated up, the air moving to Takara and the fire moving to Tamuril. "King Tamuril, I give to you the jewel of fire for strength. Your might is powerful enough to concure any fire that may threaten your path. Queen Takara, I give to you the jewel of air for wisdom. Despite your youthful age you possess a mind that can destroy every tactic. Both of you must work together to use these jewels' powers, for when the time comes you must lock away the cursed god with their powers, mixed with yours."

(Quick comment before I post. Didn't Takara had three of the four diamonds? Air, fire, and I'm pretty sure it was water that was the third one.... I can't remember.)

After wandering around for a couple of minutes, he decided to go and ask a maid. She was quite busy and gave him scant information before skittering away to her duties. He just shook his head as he began to trace where he was told to go. He didn't get far before becoming lost again. He turned a couple of times around corners just to find himself in a corridor he was in already. He sighed heavily as he began to think of a way to get to the queen's private garden. He suddenly heard flapping feet from behind him and soon it was gone. He moved to his side just as a white blur flew past him. With a quick hand, he grabbed the woman by the back of her shirt. He took a look at her before realizing that it was the same woman who had healed him. "Hey! Why did you have to do that?" She yelled at him. "Well, I don't like people when they try to sneak up behind me." He said calmly while he set her down. "Just be happy that I caught you." He added as she began to puff up. "Well, it is no way to treat a lady." he burst out laughing as she said that. She instantly glared at him which made him laugh even more. "And what's so funny?" She asked. "I've faced death in the face. So I'm not afraid of an angry woman, no matter how scary she is." He commented as he started to walk. "So where are you going?" She asked. "I'm going to the queen's private garden to meet Khonnos." He said. "You wouldn't happen to know where that is would you?" He quickly asked. "Why should I tell you? Especially after your little spurt of laughter." She huffed. "Well, for one you are vowed to help the wounded and I am still techniquely wounded. And two, I could force it out of you if I really wanted to." He commented. She huffed again. "Fine! I'll show you where the queen's private garden is! But under one condition.... You must tell me about yourself." She said as she stopped walking at stared at him. He sighed heavily. "Ok, fine. You win." He said. So he began to talk about himself as they walked towards where Takara and the others are.
