Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Re-read 'em, and there's nothing relating to Cloud.))

((Thank you so much. I'll have to read what this is in relation to, though. Don't repost, I'll find it myself.))

((Aright, I spent too much time NOT reading the posts, so I'm gonna have to pull something out of my a**. Forgive me if the characters moved or something, but this is what I'm gonna try.))

Cloud listened to the convo, feeling kinda tossed out until Seth included his name a couple of times. "Well, Seth, seeing as I need all the help I can get, I'd love to train with Troden's sister. Just tell me when, how often, and where."

((....there's a guy....with a name like Fifi's.....and it's freaking me out....))

Merlin watched quietly as she worked through it as she knew she would, her expression passive. It was a pity that she could not bond with her son but it was better this way, she needed Mona, wanted Mona, and, she realized, she would have Mona. A smile finally curled her lips, "Welcome back, Monaleth. You're looking spry." She said as if Monaleth had physically gone somewhere and was just returning.

[lol I'm the good twin...]

Silence. That's how it always was when they came, and yet they also knew how quickly Signet's silence could become a roar that would never stop until someone was killed...usually. A blur of shadows could be seen running through alleys and finally landing on the nearest rooftop to reveal two males standing side by side, a smirk on one face and a small smile on the other.

"It hasn't changed very much has it Lodael.." one of them said, combing a hand through his short blonde hair.

"The atmosphere is still filled with the tension of war that is true," the other said, his arms folding slightly, "The battlefield has changed a bit with the times."

"That will change soon enough I bet," the sound of wings unfolding was soon heard and the other was off, flying deeper into the city.

Lodael watched this quietly before shaking his head, "Daella...you are too eager for my comfort.." the last male soon jumped to the street, a shock of white hair reflecting the moonlight for only a moment as he walked down the street.

Cloud nodded. "Alright. If it helps me kill Troden, I'll wait until the earth turns inside out to train. Just set up a meeting, I'll handle the rest. If anything comes up, just find my mind." With this, Cloud disappeared in a rustling of leaves headed in a single direction.

((Speak of the devil))

Cloud was still running, his body leaning forward to allow for some aerodynamic proportion. Breathing normally, Cloud picked up the familiar scent of his old rival. His eyes going completely black, Cloud suddenly disappeared, almost literally, the only trace of him was a quick and tiny trail of darkness. Cloud hid in an alley, his own body surrounded in it's own dark aura, his claws and fangs turning an onyx black, his hair becoming a jet black and shimmering, the moonlight reflecting off the whipping strands.

((Yes, Cloud does have a dark aura. If this is a problem, let me know.))

Growling loudly, Cloud walked out of the alley, his dark aura raging, his steps making a gentle clicking and thumping sound as his boot heels connected to the pavement as he walked in front of Troden, turning to face him, his eyes completely black, his purebred red ring the only thing giving them any color. "You've been knwn for doing that."
