(Not a problem lol)
Again as before, Demitri's more formal nature took over when Azrielle appeared.
Demitri turned to face Azrielle "What did you see? asked Demitri stoically as he once again motioned for Azrielle to stand.

~Azrielle stood as his master commanded and crossed his arms as usual. His blade could be seen more clearly in the light of the sun, but that was very unusual for a Celtarie. Most Celtarie would prefer places that were darkened, out of the light of the sun, but for some reason, this one did not seem to be pthered by the sun's rays at all. There was something different about Azrielle Tatsumaru, but it was something that not even he could comprehend fully.~
As you ordered, I went to investigate the inferno as soon as the tornado died out, but...when I got there, I found something...disturbing.
~He unfolded his arms, and took a deep breath. Whatever he saw at the site, it seemed to bother him on a massive level.~
There was a Larovian encampment at the site, but the soldiers....they were torn apart by something powerful. Their bodies were mutilated, but it seemed that they were mutilated only after they had been dead for some time. ~He paused for a moment, taking another breath.~ That is a technique used to prevent the use of the bodies by Necromancers. There were also traces of Necromantic glyphs on the ground near the base of the tornado. Whom ever attacked that encampment, they must have thought the necromancer would return to raise the bodies of those soldiers, and prevented it. What's more disturbing, I could find no trace of who or what attacked the encampment. All I found was this feather.
~Azrielle then pulled a large feather from a pouch on his waist. He did not know the origins of this feather, and it was unlikely that Demitri did either. The feather was black, and too large to have come from a bird, but when placed into the light of the sun, the feather changed color to what seemed to be a deep silver, before catchinf fire and burning in his hand. The flames however did not seem to bother him, as he made no movements when the flames touched his hand, but there was an unusual coldness emmitting from these flames. He soon removed it from the sunlight and handed it to Demitri.~

Issildia noted the look in Azrielle's eyes as well as his tone as he recalled what he had seen, she knew it well, for when one's past surfaces it is difficult to subdue.
Demitri quickly took the feather and slid into a satchel at his hip, "Well done" Demitri said to Azrielle.
Demitri was then silent for a moment before he spoke, "So the Ryera's have made their move, and someone or something managed to subdue them for a time. It seems that fate is finally working in our favor, but still this is disturbing news..." Again Demitri fell silent, "We will send word to Anier when we reach Eradon, which will not be long from now...Issildia I assume you left word of our departure for your friend in Meradea..."
Issildia only smirked, "Friend? Hardly, but as to your question, Yes I did leave word of our departure to Eradon."
Demitri then nodded, "Now that everything is in order, we must be going." The clouds suddenly began to swirl together over them. Issildia's form then faded into thin air, her voice no more than a whisper as she vanished, "See you in Eradon Demitri."
The dark cloud formation then crackled with thunder as a bolt of lightening suddenly tore down from the sky hitting Dimitri, sending a flash of sparks about the area. The clouds then departed as it became apparent that Demitri had vanished with the thunderbolt.

~Azrielle took a little longer to depart as he looked towards the battle site. He knew that this whole situation would worsen with time. He had a natural habit of sensing danger, but for some reason, his senses were running rampant as he thought more on this situation. A small spiral of moke engulfed his body, and Azrielle once again disappeared from sight.~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~It was at dawn that the man in Jeweled Armor, Akurei Takinowa found himself in Eradon. He was not in the mood for games at this point, but he knew that the fragment was too dangerous to be left in the hands of one such as Reinsen Nevar. He only had two objectives: First, locate the Crystal and determine which one he possesses, and second, eliminate anyone who has made contact with the jewel. This would include the Ryeras seeingas they were the one's that turned the crystal over to the Nevar to begin with. Things were going to become much more interesting with time, but he began to wonder....Maybe he could eliminate two birds with one stone.
This could all work to his advantage, as he now planned. Reinsen must not be aware of his battallion's destruction as of yet, but if he could reach him before hand, things could become much more interesting. Knowing that the fragment was heading straight for Reinsen, Akurei began to follow its aura. With a little luck he would reach him before the Ryera, as he would most likely be attempting to raise a "substitue" battallion to replace the one he destroyed. This would take some thought, and the timing must be flawless.

~"Damien I do hope you don't mess things up again, I doubt that your brother has any more patience to spare..."
"Jadea, now is not the time, why are you here anyway?" Damien asked irritably as he stood in the center of the clearing where the Larovian battalion had been slain. An intricate design had been cut into his left and and he was allowing his blood to soak the earth at his feet.
The woman that Damien had referred to as Jadea stood at the edge of the clearing, smirking as she brushed a strand of her blonde hair away from her eyes. Jadea was one of Luin's prized guards, she was probably one of his closest confidants as well...no doubt she had been sent to oversee Damien and his attempts to amend his mistake. "That is a stupid question Damien, you know very well why Luin sent me."
Damien only offered a leering glance towards Jadea before he turned his attention back to his work...
As a final drop of Damien's blood hit the earth, a thin layer of frost suddenly swept over the ground blanketing the area in a sheet of white.
The spirits that he was now summoning for the Realm of the Dead would not be able to take on a form of flesh and bone, for no bodies were present. So at his expense he would be forced to give the spirits bodies what could not be defined as corporeal. They would be much more powerful in this form but the sheer power it took to do so could kill him, even so he continued on with the ritual.
At least by now the messenger would have reached Reinsen, Damien did not know why his brother wished for the Emperror to have the crystal shard, but it was not his place to know such things...~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Issildia appeared in a darkened alleyway in Eradon, for a moment she suspected that Demitri had materialized in some other part of the city but before she could even began to debate the issue Demitri's white gloved hand set itself on her shoulder. "Are you sure that you want to do this?" he asked, his tone was sincere, did he really think that she would turn away now?
"No of course not, besides you gentlemen might get lost if I decided not to come." she said with a slight smile.
The city of Eradon was immense, towering temples and buildings were everywhere .There was nothing of small proportions in Eradon, making the city well known through out the world for its sheer size...Only a few hundred feet or so away was the main pathway into the Palace. Their objective for now would be to enter the complex without being noticed...

~Azrielle was standing at the entrance to the alleyway as his master spoke to his companion. He seemed to be staring as a certain individual who seemed to be walking in their direction. It was a man in armor. More specifically, a black-jeweled armor. This was unusual, as Azrielle felt a connection to this man, but could not place it. He seemed familiar to him, but at the same time he did not. It was not long before he tried to speak and found himself mumbling in his native tongue, as he does quite often.~

~Akurei made a turn once he reached the main road. The split second it turn for him to turn seemed to last for minutes as he met Azrielle's gaze. No words were exchanged, but their soul spoke to each other almost without saying a word. Once time seemed to return to normal, a sinister grin crept upon Akurei's face as he continued to walk towards the palace, not even bothering to give a second glace at Azrielle. His cape dancing on the air as he walked, he continued on to his objectives.~
So, he is alive....and he possesses the Chroma. Excellent. This will work out much better than I expected.

((Using Final Fantasy "Al Bhed" clever, clever lol))
Issildia also noticed the man in the jeweled armor, but it couldn't be... she thought to herself. When she had been in the Heriden Mountains...that voice...
Instantly she silently motioned for Demitri and Azrielle to fall back into the shadows of the alley. When they were suitably hidden from view Issildia spoke in a hushed whisper, "There is something wrong." she said bluntly, but before Demitri could protest she spoke again, "Don't ask...just come this way..." It was then that she silently slipped deeper into the back streets of Eradon... It was here that the poverty in Eradon could be seen. The poor and homeless wandered these dark streets, there were also bandits, but armed as they were Issildia seriously doubted that they would be attacked. After moving some distance they were moving around behind the palace complex. It was after the Palace came back into sight that Issildia finally stopped, satisfied that they had put some distance between themselves and the man in the jeweled armor. They had also moved into a better position to enter the palace...

~Azrielle followed Issildia as sxhe motioned. Obviously, she must have had a run in with the man, just as he did. He was unaware as to how she met him, but his power, hidden from those who have not felt it, was one of a kind. Still, his presence in Eradon was a mystery. Hopefully he would reveal his purpose before it interupted their plans.~
That's definitely him, but why? Why would he appear now? What is he planning?

((I don't know how the palace looks, but I hope I didn't get this wrong. sweatdrop ))
~As Akurei neared the palace, he could feel the auras of Azrielle and his comrades shifting from one spot in the city to another. It was as if they wre attempting to aviod him, or maybe they were following him. It made no difference to him either way. As he began to walk up the stairs that led to the palace, he was stopped by the guards. He made no attempts to converse with them, his image only fading, almost as if he passed right through the two of them, and reappearing at the top of the stairs, near the massive doors that led to the inside of the palace. The guards attempted to follow him up the stairs, but as they ran up the stairs, the palace seemed to get farther and farther away from them. When they stopped running, they looked behind themselves only to find that they had not moved an inch from their positions. This was unusual indeed. Before they could notify their comrades, they found themselves sleeping on the ground, some unknown force inflicting their slumber. Akurei stopped once he reached the doors, and pushed them open, once again the guards blocking his path falling into a deep slumber as he passed them. It seemed that Reinsen had already received the crystal from the messenger, and Akurei only needed to follow its aura toward his target. So far everything was going according to plan, and he would not allow Azrielle his companions to interfere.~
