Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gambler smiled like a shark and picked up a piece of fruit, nibbling on it as she sat there unruffled, looking at Viper. "Don't you enjoy people when they are in denial and forget the very words that cut out more than blood?" Viper nodded and offered her another bit of fruit that was there. "After all, I'm not so old as to forget a single word." She took the food, separating herself from everyone who was in the kitchen. "Karma isn't even part of my religion." Viper laughed with mirth and shook his head. "Perhaps not but you must be worship-able indeed if he puts you with Karma in the same reference."

Kyoshi and Joker stopped joking as they looked at Eldin with a frown. "Why happened?" He asked, stopping the ice cream machine, crossing his arms as he was looking at all the troubled elves, Eldin leaving that made the doctor frown even more losing all traces of his laughter.

Gambler had a fruit in her hand and crushed it, standing up. Now Eldin was speaking to her? That was pushing it a bit far since he had no business involving in what was between the adults. Enough was enough and without saying a word she motioned for Viper to move towards the door so that they too can leave this place.

Kyoshi looked revolted as did Joker and walked out after Gambler. "Where are you both going?" Gambler stopped as Viper stood there, his friendly turned to venom as he watched her now former comrades. "Leaving. Obviously children are getting involved in grown up conversations and that's not something I tolerate. Ah but I sometimes forget that you all are children." "Gambler please." "Enough Kyoshi. You chose your path and if it's following your princess then so be it. This changes nothing. Consider this the last straw for the whole world will know of my laws." She smiled brightly that wasn't truly pleasant.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Kyoshi knew Gambler better than anyone yet that did change him questioning her. "I'm talking about a live broadcast to all Areas and the world to know that Gambler is the greatest tyrant of all time. If you so much as spark a war with me, I'll send so many bombs your way, the elves will be extincted like the dinosaurs without any discrimination of who dies. I hope you invest in bomb shelters, those might help." With that she turned around and walked with Viper to their car to leave the elven nation for the very last time, leaving Kyoshi and Joker shocked and open mouthed.

Gambler heard Dusk and smiled. "Then you have nothing to worry about if you don't touch my territory or my people." With that she entered the car and Viper pulled out of the drive way and peeled out of the neighborhood straight to their home in Area 6. Everything was actually set to do the broadcast, she just needed to have the right date for it. Viper suggested on a Wednesday for some reason and shrugged. "Sure. Let's shake everyone to their core." Which what they didn't know was that it was going to shake the whole world as they knew it.

Kyoshi was boiling in anger, wanting to get to their home to spy on her and see what the hell was up her sleeves as Joker's shoulder dropped and walked to the bathroom, closing the door behind him and locked it. The doctor looked down at the sink trembled. His body trembled with rage, with grief, with loss with everything a person could feel. The angel in the living room ran a agitated hand through his hair. "I think we should good too." He murmured.

In the box that held some great treasures that Monty had wanted to give Kalore with the knowledge that he was going to use them. There were four bows made from the finest craftsmen he had ever known with the strongest line that wouldn't snap no matter how many times it was pulled. The bows were made from a polished Ivory with decorative flowers with vines going down the length of it. Another was of a deep Ebony with a green flower at each end that were connected with a thorned stem.

The last two seemed fragile but were actually the strongest. One was made from the finest Jade with the image of a dragon craved into the bow looking fierce with wisp of pale yellow on the dragon as if saying Kalore was a dragon. The last one was a red bow made from hard Ruby, the cravings were of flames, yellows and oranges were imbedded to make it look as if the fire was real. Each bow had an inscription in them for protection of the handler.

Then there were four arrows that when with their respective bows that belonged with a Fey created quiver to hold them. Yet this quiver was like no other since if you placed on arrow in the quiver you will never run out of it. It was the very thing that Gambler was paying for since Monty had stolen it from the Fey. Yet regardless, the pearl hue quiver now belonged to Kalore as did the arrows and bows. Completely for him to use in whatever way he wished it.

If your reading this, perhaps it's because I never got the chance to give these gifts to you due to some circumstances or perhaps your a clever elf with his endless curiousity that brought you to discover these,' The tone of Monty in the letter was amused as if he was truly there speaking to him, I had thought really hard on what to give that meant something to you. Something that would give you courage even if I seem to have trouble taking if from you. Know that everything was new to me being in something steady and with that....other male....' It would have made it amusing to hear Monty growl and grumble about wanting to murder Eri and bargining with Kalore to let him do so.

'Regardless, these gifts are yours. All of it. I want you to be happy where ever the situations lead us. If I'm no longer walking among you, then know that I had never meant to hurt you. I don't think I could have layed a violent hand on you after opening that door to bring us together.' There was regret at himself in those words in the reflection of thinking back to all the things he had done. Both good and bad. 'In the end, Kalore, know that things are not what they always appear. A common thing a person does is reaction without thinking when something happens but sometimes if you stop to listen and read between the lines perhaps the true meaning is hidden away. To the point, I do apologize for acting on that common impulse that pushed you away into the last place I never wanted you to be. I know I've scold you about saying sorry but deep down, I scold myself for never having said to you in person. For that I ask your forgiveness when I don't deserve it. Promise me you will take care of everyone around you no matter what and remember to not make my mistakes with the rash assumptions. It would only bring unbearable pain.'

Monty did hold alot of regret for his treatment of Kalore and sometimes he did blame it on his past but on his death bed he silently asked Kalore for his forgiveness not in hopes of getting in good with heaven or anything but in hopes of....something. 'In closing, I have the highest hopes that your going to show everyone that inner strength that I've been trying to tell you have. Don't shy away from anything. Don't keep quiet. Don't let anyone walk over you. Also could you inform Gambler that it's going to be a while to repay the Fey for the quiver?' There was a smug satisfaction in that last statement that was totally Monty. Sincerely, Monty.'

Joker gripped the porceline sink and sighed. "Yeah....In a minute." Taking that minutes to control himself he took a deep place, thought about his La~La Land and opened the door, smiling slightly at Kit. "Hi. Are you alright?" His concern was more for Kit than for himself. Such a selfless doctor.

Joker wrapped his arms around Kit and held her close. "It's alright Kit. I think it was just wishful thinking that for one night everyone could get along." He kissed her forehead and sighed softly, staring at the door. "I think for now we just have to keep an eye on the news and get our practice running. Then figure out a date for Dusk and Kyoshi's wedding so I can do the cooking." The man wanted to think of things to distract him from his disappointment and sadness.

Despite having a humorous letter for Kalore, those were the words that had come to the closest thing of revealing any deep emotion from Monty. Since his lack of sharing those were infamous, he wanted to do something different that could express it if words failed. In a way it was like his parting gift.

Joker blinked and grinned. "Kit, have you ever had ice cream body shots?" The man asked, giving her a wicked look as he tugged her after him out of the bathroom and to the kitchen. "I got my license." It was official that Joker was going to be able to work as a full fledged doctor in the elven nation known as Ilovu.

The days passed in a whirlwind of activity as Joker did open his practice with a small amount of staff that included Eldin, his right hand man, Kit was his smexy secretary, another female elf by the name of Sarette who had strawberry blonde hair with light golden freckels across her nose and cheek, golden eyes and a sweet temperment as his nurse and a male elf named Kheelan who was tall and a light build with dark brown hair that had a natural shine and pale blue eyes that was his doctor and nurse all in one. Joker was so happy that they got right to work with having patients come in.

It was arkward at first but soon the flow of people was picking up with the comforting environment that catered to everyone no matter their status to come for a check up and get well priced medical services. Yet on this wednesday everything was slow. Very slow. Joker was in his office with paper work in front of him and...bored. It was depressing that there was barely anyone coming in thanks to that damned rain outside.

Yet it was that very rain that didn't stop the people from forming a large crowd around a building made from white stone that served as house for political meetings and such from real political individuals. But it was also a house for the announcement of Gambler's laws. There was security everywhere, on the buildings, on the streets, undercover among the crowds, and everywhere in between. The crowds had some signs up that surrounded the cameras from various news and radio stations to cover this event.

Gambler walked out of the building with a tall man who looked absolutly perfect in a black on black suit his hair a golden blonde with cornflower blue eyes, perfect complextion and a arrogance that told everyone he was the boss. Which he techincally was since no one knew that the real Gambler was a woman. This man next to her was the face and front of Gambler. The woman herself played role of dutiful wife next to the man, while the twelve ambassadors stood a few paces away looking equally dangerous that brought a hush to the crowd as police kept everyone at a distance.

The man known to the world as Gambler kissed the real on the cheek and turned to face everyone, the news were broadcasting this all around Area 6, yet what the world didn't know was it was only for Area 6 and not for any other area, except for Ilovu's eyes and ears. Yes, Gambler must be a serious masochist about pushing reactions out of people.

"My fellow citizens of Area 6. I welcome you today with news of new laws that will affect us and others around us. It was with great difficultity that...." The words were lost to Gambler as she stared out at everyone behind her sunglasses in the dreary day that might spill all the rain heaven could give them as she counted down the last this world will ever see Gambler.

Kyoshi frowned as he walked out with his towel around his neck, staring at the TV and snarled. "What the f*ck is this?!" The man knew exactly who the woman was with her usual sunglasses looked then stared at the most charming, arrogant and charismatic man with his golden boy good looks stating the new laws. If Kyoshi had been there or if these had been different laws he would have been enchanted as everyone else watching clearly were. "Holy Christ....." He stood staring.

Joker blinked and walked over to the TV as Sarette stopped speaking with Kit to see what Eldin was referring to. Kheelan walked over hearing the stopped of voices and leaned back against the wall with his arms crossed in his silence. The news was on and Joker yelped, sitting back on the chair to stare at the TV. "Gambler!" Then he looked at the woman behind the man. "His wife!" Which was the real Gambler and he twitched uncontrollablly, causing Sarette to look at her boss with fear, inching away. "What the hell happened?!"

The male impersonator as Gambler captivated the crowd, some actually were agreeing to something that was impossible. Especially when this Gambler was talking about something completely different to the crowd while what was being broadcasted had been a pre-recorded speech to divert those who would most definitely watch. Of course it was unfair but she had Hibachi working the magic behind making such a thing possible while everything was happening in real time. It was the most advance technology she has ever encountered.

Looking at the camera she smiled slightly, knowing that in real time everyone would see her standing proudly behind her 'husband' Gambler with everyone's attention on her. Smiling even more with that knowledge she prayed that those who she know were watching kept their eyes on her as she mouthed out,"Check Mate." to those in TV-land. "In closing, my fellow citizens..." Gambler's delicious voice held everyone in attention as he made his final firm set comments about these laws. He was the most perfect creation ever to hold such great command.
