Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kayura, alongside Kanita, arrived beside the Ronin Warriors once again. Rowen's expression of curiosity was met with a short shake of her head.

"No, we didn't," Kayura said.

Sehkmet forced Kale on the floor. "Even though you've volunteered willingly, I still don't trust you."

"Yes, quite," Tusuki said. "You pledged your loyalty to me before, but I saw how frail that promise was. Now, you are going to have to do a great deal more to earn back my trust."

She paused for effect.

"You and Lena are going to bring me Dais," Tusuki declared. "Only then will Talpa be revived."

Tusuki considered the question for a moment. She still didn't know whether Kale was helping her, or if he had joined her side again in hopes of striking at her. She decided that it was irrevelant. Now that the Ronin Warriors were working against her, secrets didn't matter.

"I will tell you," Tusuki said. "I have some mistrust of you, Lena, after saving that girl, but if you wish to know, I will not withhold it. I am trying to revive Talpa. Don't think that I do this because he is my father and I want to see him alive again. The fact is, I despise him. If he were to come back to life, I would be one of the first ones in line to decapitate him once again. However, his revival is necessary for what I intend to accomplish.

"There are worlds other than this one. I do not merely mean the Netherworld. The Blacksmith and his army come from a world tethered to a very distant star. Though I do not know what has become of his battle with Batrias, I doubt that all of the dragons that came to his aid are dead. At least one of them will have picked up his armor, the One Armor, nearly complete. Whether the dragons have returned to their own world or whether they're staying here matters not to me. I know where their star is, and I can hunt them down if need be. I need Dais as the last piece to bring the One Armor together, and without that, I cannot revive Talpa.

"Shall I continue?"

"My lady," Sehkmet interrupted, "We should not waste time by talking. We should focus on the task at hand. I will accompany Kale and Lena to retrieve Dais, if you think it necessary."

"You're right, for the first time," Tusuki said. "We should focus. But I've got something else in mind for you, Sehkmet."

"Kale will attack them directly," Tusuki ordered. "You, Lena, are to make sure that he does not join with them. If he does, you have my permission to kill him. You are more than strong enough to do it, with the spirits at your side."

Kale nodded slowly, accepting his fate...for now.

"I don't have a choice," Kale replied. "So grab my hand and just do whatever it is you do."

Kayura had trouble keeping eyes open. "I'm so tired..."

"You couldn't materialize a hamburger, could you, Kayura?" Kento asked.

"I don't have any energy left," Kayura said. "I wanna sleep."

Kanita sighed heavily as she went back into her normal clothing. "Here." She stated as she tossed a bag of skittles to the man. "It's all I have for now. If I had my book bag I would of had more." Kanita had a small sigh as she went to kneel on the ground. "So what do we do nect? Just wait?"

Lena slowly opened her eyes, transportation over as she turned to Kale, "Alright then....Fire away.."

SHe titled her head to the side, and waited, "You already know what we have to do."

Sage leaned back against the wall, thinking about it, "We may have no choice, but what would happen if we keep doing it? I mean, sure, I doubt the effects would be tremendous if it was only once in a while...but what about for those more connected to the earth or the elements themselves, such as we are?"

Cye continued, "Yea, we have done it before...,haven't we? LIke with the black inferno? And Talpa?"

"Hm, I don't think we want an answer to that, Cye, Sage. THink about it, if natural disasters are huge...doesn't it stand to reason that we would cause disturbances on scale with that if we did it far too much? But then again, during the times when we all do it together, I haven't seen a point in time where the true trouble would lie with our teleporting. Perhaps it's if we do it on our own," Rowen spoke, thinking aloud.

"Perhaps, Kannie. BUt I think the worry is more us then her. She can create her own balance, we can't. It's where our powers lie, I think. WHich is why things often depend on all of us being there," Rowen said, thoughtfully, "WE have seen her call otehr spirits to power our armors up, so it stands to reason."
