Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bane scratched the back of his head, thinking for a couple seconds, before saying,"I'm not one hundred percent sure on the over all history of the Dragonakai.... However I can say that our people have existed for at least half as long as Human's, if not closer to the same length of time...."

He pushed his chair back, his wings furling and unfurling over and over again, as he sat there, trying to explain what he himself had never truly understood. Finally he sighed and said,"There aren't many Dragonak's... In fact the highest number there has ever been at one time was just over one thousand, and in the last century, we've dropped down to around four hundred in number.... I believe this to be in part from centuries of trying to hide our existence... But I really don't know much about my own people, other than that each of the ancient races has a single spell within the true Necronomicon, which only they can use.

Bane scratched his neck again, reaching out with a wing, and plucking the book off the counter, drawing it closer to him. He placed it lightly on the table, sliding his wing out from underneath it, before saying,"I believe that... Despite Gradient being a haven for non-humans, there is only three in this area at a time. They tend to move on, as the Dragonakai always have.... Meaning that the numbers vary constantly."

He slowly placed his hand on the book for a second, looking into Nadie's, his eyes momentarily sad, before he flipped it open, whipping through it quickly untill he came across a spell that said it was a "Drought" spell. He laughed lightly, before saying,"Well this certainly isn't the original... This spell is the opposite, when used by the correct being. Used by any being but a Dragonak, it causes a drought at a targeted place... However... I have done research on this, and if I'm correct, I could, using the correct version of this spell, cause a drought at one location, while causing unending rain at another, for a year long duration.... If it works, then I know I have the true original..."

Bane grinned slightly at her question, rubbing his wrists slowly, nad starring off into space, before saying,"The drought isn't what I want... It's the rain, which is the give away that I have found the correct version of the book.... That is the only reason for that spell.... However if I've found the correct version.... There will be another spell that I will wish to check..."

He scratched the back of his neck, slowly standing, and turning away, for a second, rubbing his face with his hands, before turning back towards her, grinning.

Bane sighed, slowly sitting back down, thinking,"Dang... The one question that I didn't want asked..."

Folding his arms across each other on the table he looked calmly at Nadie before quietly saying," The rain proves it is the right book. That is the only reason for it. The other spell.... Well I'll tell you about that if the right book is in the library...."

He looked away, his eyes slowly clouding over, as he thought about what the spell was, and what he wanted it for.

Bane looked at Nadie, as she folded her arms, acting stern, and he nearly burst out laughing. It amused him how quickly she changed from one end of the spectrum to the other. Sighing, he said,"Ok fine... If you have the correct book, which you assure me you do..... There is a powerful spell in there."

He stood up, and turned away, staring at nothing in particular before saying," There is a spell.... Which can raise the dead.... Not as zombies, like those silly human horror movies... But truly return a being to life...."

He rubbed his eyes, with his sleeve, before turning back to her, and continuing,"That... That is the spell I wish to use."

Bane looked at her in shock for a second, before quietly saying,"Yes.... But no.... More than them... I plan on bringing back the very first of every species there is as well.... So I can learn all there is about everything...."

He turned away again, closing his eyes, rubbing them for a second with the sleeve of his jacket, thinking,"She has forgotten... Despite everything she says... She has forgotten...."

((Here's the thing, doods. Homework is killing me and my mom is grounding me for a few days. I don't know how long, but I'm going to try to get on as much as I can. I'm going to post right now to try and catch up, though I'm kinda far behind ^^;;. Just keep posting and I'll try to make Zeke come in whenever I can.))

Zeke wandered around Bane's living room after watching Raven leave to her room. She picked up several things, books and whatnot, turning them over in her hand before placing them back. She was slightly disgusted at the amount of dust Bane's possessions had collected. She picked through things, then decided he had nothing of interest to her. She stood from where she had been kneeling, searching the bottom shelf of a curio cabinet, and walked to the front door. "If you'd like to know, I'm leaving now," she called down the hall to where she assumed Raven was. She pulled Bane's broken door to, and stalked down his path. "That was an enormous waste of my time and effort," she murmured to herself as she slid her sunglasses on. She glanced around quickly, confirming no humans were near, then she drifted into the skys. She soared toward her apartment, landing in the alley to the left of it. She emerged from the dank darkness quickly, ushering a group of tourists to move the other way and out of her path. She strode to the elevator and up to her floor. She walked to her apartment and opened it.

The previously broken table was now gone, and her room had been cleaned. She assumed the maid had come and cleared the mess from her room. She hung her trench coat on the rack and pulled her sunglasses off, and stowed them in the table's drawer. She walked and sat on the couch, utterly exhausted and slightly irritated. She reached over, grabbing her phone, and punched in a few numbers. "Baron, good evening," she said when it was picked up on the other end. "I'm fine. Honestly. How are you doing?" she asked. She continued to talk, nearly forgetting about her problem with Bane.
