((forgive Alagaesian historical errors..I know not if Evandar is still alive at this time..) scratch that, yes. He is. Killed by Galbatorix.))
She looked at the quietly. "You speak no sense." she said, her voice harsh. There was a pause. And then, a smile. "But then, that is my way. Travellers..you have come from far. Shall I tell you the news? King Evandar has just returned from his meeting with the Shur'tugal in Doru Areaba. Queen Islanzadi is most anxious to meet with him. I beg your pardon, I did not realise the Queen had Riders answering to her?"
She turned to Minasia, "Atra esterni ono thelduin, Your Majesty. I am sorry, but I thought the official party from Alalea left two weeks ago? Including yourself and Guardian May there. I was not aware a return had been arranged?"
She faced them all now. "I am sorry, have I not introduced myself? Araediane, Wielder of the White Flame, Protector and Guardian of Ellesmera and The One Who Watches." Her eyes sparkled mysteriously. "Allow me to escort you to His Majesty."
Alianae..Ruialusa...
What Sarea? Luirasua..
The Portal..it is glowing..
Time is nigh then. We have only to wait. Destiny shall set itself into place. And with that, Fate smiled upon them.

Sora looked at the girl, thoughts running through his head. Evandar? He's dead by now, he thought to Kalios.
I know. And what's that about the Queen not having Riders? She's known you for years.
I know, he finished, and turned back to Araediane. "Of course," he said, looking back at the Alalean Queen. Something's odd here, he said, projecting his thoughts to not just her, but May, Kalios, and Terra. Araediane, however, would be kept out of the loop for now.

((At the time, I had no idea why the name Araediane came to mind..NOW however.. I had to do a double take when i saw it..I almost read it as Alianae xD))
Araediane stared at them, a littler perplexed. They seemed...familiar somehow.Time.. The word whispered itself across her mind, just briefly touching, like a stray wind that had just wanted to see what would happen if it blew a leaf. And then it clicked, although her expression showed no change. They were Her People. The ones she, as little Diane, or Arae depending who called her, dreamed of. Always and forever. She knew their adventures, their lives as a bee knew honey. And now, finally as the two halves of her name came together, her dreams came to meet her. Is it possible for one to make friends through dreams?
She sighed. "I..apologise. You...do not seem to know even what the year is, much less what is happening right now." She wondered what the best was to break it to them was.
People had always asked, The One Who Watches? The one who watches what?? To be precise..not even Araediane had known..well, there had always been the dreams, but surely a figment of the imagination (or so it had come to be called) was not meant to be watched?
She thought now..and looked at all the dreams. And Realised. Quite simply Realised what it was she was meant to have done, was currently doing or would do.

Sora looked at Kalios, a shifting uneasiness slithered through their souls. "Why? What year is it?" Sora asked, his feet firmly planted in the ground. Aside from this awkward conversation...something else was happening. He could feel it in his soul, the shifting nature of foreboding haunted him.

((Oh, great, now I have to creat a date..))
She looked at them, pausing. And told them the date, using the system of 'after the Riders rose'. She could feel something happening, a..force of some kind was drawing nearer, slowly, but surely, hanging in the distance as if waiting to be called. And she almost thought she knew what they would think. In a sense.
"Sometimes a few strange occurences must come, for Fate to fulfil itself. The path of history has always been warped. It only occurs when it must though, so you can feel priveliged for that." she smiled, watching them.

Sora felt his heart sink. Time had warped? Backwards? The knot in his stomach pulled tighter and tigher. Evandar was still alive. The Queen couldn't possibly have any memory of him, nor of Kalios, or Terra. He swallowed in nervousness. "Fate?" he asked. Alianae. He could hardly feel privileged for the time warp, and as such, was a nervous wreck. In fact, a voice entered his mind. It was a Motherly voice, soothing to his ears. Not unlike Terra's. But it was different. Yet familiar.
"Relax. All will be fine. Fate has its own plan for you and Kalios."
((If anyone is in doubt, that's supposed to the Portal's voice.))

May sighed as Miena shook her head. Of course, it had been partially obvious to those two. The forest had seemed too beautiful, too young for the time being. And they were too old for the surroundings. THAT was why Minae had had the impression that they had taken on a few years, because everything aroudn them seemed YOUNGER.
"So what you mean to say..." May statred, taking a few steps forwards "Is that time turned back on itself to erase memories of us so that our deaths will go pretty much unnoticed...?" she asked wuietly, looking down at her feet.
"May..." Minasia whispered slowly to her guardian, knowing full well what this was all about.
'You will die, one day, my dear May, as have I. And you will perish for the one thing you believe in. The one you protected with your life will in turn die as well, with no regrets, if only not having been with you to the end. The men around you will mourn you two, and they will die alongside your lifeless bodies, crying green teras.... For the green rain will come, the rain that marks unforgetable memories.'
Saurulia had left her daughter with this rather unsettling prophecy, leaving the girl marked and scared, frightened that the moment of her death could come at any time, and that, most importantly, she'd cause the deaths of Minae, Sora and Kalios.
"May, cakn down...." Minae whispered soflty, wrapping her arms around the older girl's neck. "Even if you DO die, what says you won't be there to guide your-"
"Child? WHAT child, Miae? I've not even found the one who steals my breath with each stare... But enoguh of this. I just want to know if time erased us because we have to die in secrecy." She said harshly, looknig upat the diine being with the same determined stares as that day... The day she met Alianae, the day she saved Minasia...
THAT day.

Araediane looked at them. And smiled. She closed her eyes...and the voice that spoke next, was not her own. "May, calm. Be calm. Time has not forgotten you. How could one forget her own kin? Her own blood and soul? You have not been erased. You live, yes but in living forwards, pressing for future, you have been sprung further. Time is like a wheel you know. It is the only way for the past to flow to the present, but at one point the present must also flow back into the past. So while you live in the future, in your time..you exist also here, before what you may register as your time. And, to make matters a touch more complicated, it could be suggested that all of you, already exist here too. So there are, at the moment, two of you. But because you are now so different from what you once were, two can exist at once. Woul I be correct in saying you have, among you..the Varden of the Will? Or..as you may call it..the Wardens?"
These last two questions were said in her own voice, and her eyes were back to normal. Not that..they had seemed any different..but it must have, in some way..been different. Just..barely..perceptible..

Kalios looked up at Araediane. "We are all the Wardens," he said. "Me and Sora are the Wardens of the Will and the Key," he said. "Why? What do you have in store for us?"
((I don't really feel like elaborating. IDK. Just...one liner...evil one liner, but still...))

She smiled. "What do I want of you? Nothing. But what do They want of you..now that is another question. You know the future..as it is your past. You know to the effect what must be done. You understand..which is more than I can say of many elves these days. Let me tell you this. A Rider, named Galbatorix - yes, I see you recognise the name - has lost his first dragon. And I say first..because he has his second now. And then..flew off. Nobody knows where he is..except..I do. And when he returns..Alagaesia's fate will be set. He will return..with the written Will. Do you know what must be done?"
As she waited for an answer, her mind..well, skipped over to another thought. Or, that would be the best way of describing it, anyway. At the back of her mind, there were..links. Sometimes three, sometimes much more. They linked her to the Unknowing Wardens..not the ones in front of her, the ones from this time, with no recollection. And now, at the front of her mind..she found links also, to these people. And in a flash, she saw what would be, and..well, frightened might be a way of putting it. But only briefly. Then she forced herself to watch, and wait for an answer.

Kalios stared at Araediane in a bit of a dumb shock. "You know...where he is?" he managed to ask. He wanted to ask how, but he couldn't get it through to his mouth. He regained his calmness after a second. "You're going to have to send us to where he is."

Araediane raised an eyebrow. "There is only one way which can take you directly there, but I do not advise it. It has been know to..well, not listen, shall we say? And the power it would take..could kill you instantly. Recently, it has begun to get..creative. It is also uncertain whether or not you would be able to get through..the Barriers. No, all in all, with everything considered, it is much better to wait for him. After all, history must remain unchanged.."

((Wait a moment, isn't the regular WoA RP timeline supposed to be BEFORE Galbatorix's rule? That means we must have been sent FORWARD through time...either that, or we've let loose a paradoxical conundrum in the space-time continuum by going back in time to the future))
Terra listened to Araediane, several connections clicking in her mind. Unfortunately, there was the missing link that was burrowing a hole through her attention. They had been sent to the past, or future, whichever one it was, and they had a chance at stopping him from attacking Kalco's time, or their time...and Arae didn't want to use it. Luckily, she could feel Sora begin to raise his own argument.
"We have to use this method to get there. We must at least try to stop Galbatorix...and if we shall die, then it will be the Will of Fate for us to end our time in this realm." His mind brought up a memory of the Portal, that black abyss that he had travelled through to Ellesmera.
"Show me this method of transport."
((How will we bring up the Portal? We can't really summon it without dying, because it's a whole 'nother world. So it's gotta be at some stationary shrine or something. Like a....stargate? I don't know. Help, Isi or Minae?))

((Oh..yeah..um..let me try and explain this.. sweatdrop We..went forward and then came back. We've done something to the space-time continum.. xd ))
Araediane closed her eyes, the words she knew so well coming at last to the surface. "One group, joined in the past, their midst filled with legends, their travels full of mystery. From the past they will come, by Fate and Time, they will pass. The times will meld together, and among them shall exist one, outside of their timeframe. One who belongs in a time even after ours. Forward into the destiny of Alageasia, by the Old Ways of Alalea. Time passes differently, and in Fate's domain, Time is what she wishes herself. Backwards they come, and the world is black. It is uncertain..if Time is a wheel, have they spun through the future so far they turn back to the past? Is the blackness..the Beginning? The End? Or the mess they've created? Or do they come from a time after us? A time much like our past.. Through they come, into our time. And here, the destiny will be set.
In the Heart of Ellesmera, in a place even the King dare not enter, is the future.. The oldest magick to be found in Ellesmera, in all of Alagaesia even..is there. What it is, nobody knows. Nobody who has ventured there has survived. It is deadly strong. Only the foolish and suicidal..
But legends..such funny things. One day, they say, They will come. And it's purpose will be fulfilled. For on that day, it will draw on the Power of Ancient Alia, and exist no more. It will return to its rightful owner."
She stopped and looked at them. "That is what I have always know. It has been so, that I could tell it to no one, not even the strongest. Only to those who it was meant for." She looked meaningly at Sora. "For you."
She turned. "Follow me. You will not be questioned then." She walked towards Ellesmera, stopping at the city edge to wait for them.
((I'm thinking a mirror..for some reason..a shrine works too. Hey Sora, for the Clash RP, can we use stuff from here? Because practically everything nhizilkia's typing makes me think of..well, all this.. Especially the Guardian and the three paths she's recently included..Reminds me of Ruia/Alianae and the Places of Wyrda, Hugin, Manin.))

((Sure, you could use this type of stuff for Clash. Well, I gotta go. I'll edit this post with a pretty post tomorrow, maybe at school, I don't know. See ya.))
((Here to edit!))
Sora followed Araediane, her words simmering in his head like a stew. He wanted to ask a question or two, but couldn't quite bring himself up to it. "Where exactly are we going to?" he asked calmly.
((Sorry it's not really long. I have no inspiration anymore, it seems. So...what is this power? The Charter itself?))
