"I know, I know. " She said with a sad look on her face. She was quite confused when he mentioned the letters stopped coming. "I never stopped sending you letters, I sent them less frequent sure, I wanted to give you breathing room. But I never stopped sending them."
Then from above Ursula landed a sack full of letters, her letters. "Yeah, those must have gotten lost in the mail." Said Theus's voice, he appeared moments later next to Newarva, his choice of travel? Rising from the ground.
An axe was thrown his way, which he quickly side stepped from. Was it even necessary to say it with that kind of accuracy it could only come from Ursula? "Sheesh woman, enough with the axes! Just how many of those you even carry with you?!" He said with raised arms.
"I have every reason to throw one at you too. Just who are you supposed to be?" Asked Newarva, she never saw anything like him before. It was just, his presence felt familiar, and those robes he wore, they seemed so foreign.
He sighed, he knew what was to come of this. "I am sooo going to hear it later. I'm Theus, I'm an ancient and observer that's quite curious in all of you..."

Meanwhile...( Posting Assistance: PrincessLeafra )
Nala had returned with Ardy as Naria requested. She tossed him in front of her throne, his arms were chained behind his back. Looking up, he saw the reason of his being here.
"Kelanthra? What, what happened to you?" Asked Ardy, he completely mistook Naria for her sister. Did something happen back at the house after he left? Naria on the other hand, said nothing, choosing not to disclose her identity, she simply pointed to the dungeons. Nala nodded her head and dragged him off.
"Kela, Kela speak to me! Kela!" Yelled the young male light elf as he was being dragged off. Naria wasn't sure what she should do, and yet Ful'sou wasn't awake to be asked for his advice.
Then came Arachne, in her hand was a silver box adorned with gold, pearls, and onyx (black) gemstones. On her back was a person wrapped up in webbing.
"What stunning failure do you have waiting for me this time, Arachne?" asked Naria. She was still quite upset at the last too failures Arachne had given her. A third and she would stomp this bug underneath her heel.
"None, my mistress. I return with two things that might interest you. I have recovered Rolas. And secondly..." Arachne lifted up the box. "I believe this is the architect."
"Put him to rest on my bed, then tell me more about this, Architect that you you speak of and why I should be interested."
"As you wish." With that said, Arachne left the room, leaving Naria alone once more to be in her thoughts. Just her, and her sleeping master. She winced, feeling a great spurt of his strength returning. Even with the training, she understood just how much focus Pela must of had to contain such power in her womb before it was taken from her by Naria herself.
Once it passed, she had her hands clasped over her belly and stared at it with deep wonder.
Naria wondered in her thoughts as to when she would have to give birth to her dark lord. Ful'sou told her it would be soon, every day, every hour, every movement, she could feel him getting stronger inside her. Maternally, she felt the time would be very soon.

Elsewhere..."Gatekeeper, what is the meaning of this?"
"It had to be done, this cycle has to end. And I intend to do that. I may have lost a card, but I've gained another. Demote me if you want, but I won't let my aunt's children or anyone else suffer this any longer. Do not try to stop me, old ones."

Just wanted to thank everyone for sticking with this RP for as long as you all have. I've really come to enjoy the characters that you have all created. In an effort to see a conclusion you all deserve, I separated the group into two and will manage these two arcs to the best of my ability. Decided to just give indications mid post when either a) posting for a specific "chapter" or b) the quests I will think of later.
While you aren't continuing the RP anymore Fey, I would still like to thank you for all your activity. I'll try to
