Welcome to Gaia! ::

Desha waited until Michael had passed on the message then looked at him with anguished eyes, "I'm sorry Michael but he had to be told that. You have no idea what it does to me to hear him that terrified but unable to do anything for him..." he said softly as he leaned back into Andy, knowing that the vampire was the only thing keeping him from giving in to Dancer's terror.

He knew there was nothing he could do, though.

So he found his eyes going to the castle door as he prayed for Rebecca and Cedric to hurry...

As the three of them entered the courtyard Cedric was watching Rebecca until he noticed the large group of people standing around the benches near the gate. His silver eyes glinted over Michael and Valick and before anyone could register or blink he had partially shifted into his dragon form, his hands becoming claws as he gripped the two of them by their necks and he rushed them hard slamming their bodies hard against the wall by the gate, leaving vampire shaped indents in the wall as he chokes them.

He roars with angelic wrath and dragonic fury his face a half mask of pure hatred and anger as he billowed out dark angry smoke almost breathing fire as sparks arced from his nostrils and lips.

"THEY ARE HERE! THESE TWO! WHO ELSE! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID TO ME! WHAT THEY COST ME!"

Cedric's tail shifted out and lashed around in a fury, whipping and tearing up bushes and digging large trenches in the ground. His chest and legs shift slowly as he began to shift more into his dragon form ready to just finish off the two vampires in his clutches.

"FOR OVER TWO HUNDRED YEARS THEY HUNTED ME! CAPTURED ME! TORTURED ME! ALMOST KILLED ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN!"


He turns a little and stares at Rebecca with one big baleful eye as his head shifts into full dragon and his voice becomes a thought projection.

"They...cost me you. they stopped me from rescuing you all those years ago. That was what I was trying to tell you all this time. But I could never find the right words."

Michael cuts his mind off from Dancer right now as he did not want him to feel anything he was feeling at the moment and also Dancer dose not know this about him. Valick and Michael growled and struggled to get Cedric off of them, Rebecca stood in shock for a moment as she did not expect that to happen, she expected to pull her family of Cedric. Rebecca growled deeply as she changed into her true form, her wings forming out, her nails black, her eyes black with sliver wings and her hair turned to a midnight black as well and cause she was not wearing the necklace Cedric gave her any more, a black fire crown formed around her head. She went at Cedric trying her best to use all her strength to pull him off of them.

As she listened to his words it took her back a moment but Cedric was going to kill them and she did not want that all. "Damn it Cedric let them go, please let them go. I did not know any of this, but please I need them, I need them alive let them go! We do not have time for this, we can work this out later please" Rebecca begged pulling him back now and pushed him back from Michael and Valick breathing heavy as it took a lot out of her to do that as Cedric was so much stronger then her. She looked him straight in the eyes, "I'm sorry for all my family has put you through Cedric.." she started to say and turned to Michael and Valick glaring at them, "And I will deal with them later cause I am just tired, I am tired of all this fighting!" She growled and looked back at Cedric. "I need your help Cedric, yes Dancer is Michael's love and I understand if you do not want to help him, but please help me. Dancer should not die cause of our families problems, now please suck it up and we will talk about this after I know Dancer is safe!" Rebecca growled and sighed shaking her head rubbing her face.

She did not need all this right now, as she was just starting to get better with things, he just made it confusing for you once again and she just needs to focus on whats important right now. She looks back at Cedric, "We need you to fly over the little Island to see how many you guys are up against, I cannot go with as if I set foot of this Island Lucifer will get me again in a heart beat and you know it. SO please do this for me Cedric and for Desha, Dancer is his son."

Rebecca growled as he smacked Michael but she didn't mind it that much if this was true so she shrugged it off. "Yes it is those creatures, Dancer is a rare person so we need to stop messing around here and start heading to rescue him. Now Cedric please go check out the Island so you guys know what your walking into ok?" Rebecca says trying to keep her calm the best she can as the more time they waist the more time Dancer is stuck there.

Michael growled and flicked Cedric off, He then took a breath walking away off to the side as he calmed himself and started connect with Dancer once again to see how he was doing and Michael almost was overwhelmed with what was happening to Dancer feeling him get weak as something, something so sick, so dark was touching him. "Forget that we need to go now, I am not letting Dancer wait another minute" Michael growled as he took off to the small boats so he could start heading to the small Island to get Dancer.

Valick yelled after his brother, "No Michael wait!" and Valick then took off after him. Andy sighs and looks at his love and pulled him into a quick deep passionate loving kiss, "I have to go I love you so much, we will bring him home" Andy says giving him a soft smile and then takes off after them, motioning Cedric and HeirO to join them.

Rebecca watches them all leave and sighs as she changes back to her normal form and walks over to Desha sitting next to him and puts her arms around him to comfort him. "I wish my family did not have so much problems, maybe its me.." She says softly as she was lost in thought of so much right now from learning what she did, but she shook her head and looked at Desha, "How are you hanging in there Desha?" She says softly to him, lightly rubbing his arms letting him lean on her.

Rebecca looks at Desha worried and sighed as she hated being left behind for these things but she would do her best to comfort Desha and make sure he was alright. As he laid his head into her lap she softly combed her fingers through his long sliver hair trying to sooth him. "They will bring him back Desha, he will be alright." Rebecca says softly as she knew Dancer was strong from that one meeting she had with him.

Rebecca sighed looking at Desha worried as she didn't know what to do any more or even say. This was her ault, she should of told Cedric of Michael and Valick, but she didn't know they did that to him..god why did they do that, it is not like Michael to do such a thing, Valick yes but never Michael something else had to happen. She really hopes everyone just returns safewith Dancer.

Rebecca then looked up as she saw someone appear, it was Ash and his trainee, Ash was a sight for sore eyes, she tried to keep her mind in the now right now as he came over asking what happened, Rebecca then started to tear up as she looked down at Desha holding him and rubbing his back. "Dancer was taken by slavers Ash, Michael bares his mark, him, Valick, and Andy. As well as my ex Cedric and a new guy heere name HeirO went to go save him. He's on one of the small side Islands. I had to stay behind but I don't mind as Desha is a mess right now." Rebecca says as one of her silent blood tears rolls down her cheek, she hates it when she crys cause she dosent have normal water tears, hers are blood tears. She sighs taking in a deep breath to calm herself, god she wanted to hug Ash right now give him a better welcome back but she need to keep comforting Desha.

Tamlin was not sure he liked teleporting with Ash as the motion made him a bit queasy.
Just as his stomach rolled to a stop and his eyes adjusted, he noticed his mentor moving forward to speak with a group of people.

Whatever was going on as the atmosphere around them all was muddled with anger, sadness....and something else he couldn't place his finger on.

As Ash continued to speak with those there, Tamlin stood quietly off to the side in the back of the group his arms folded over his chest. The situation had nothing to do with him, so it was best to stay out of it all.

Ash reached out a hand and gently wiped the tear from her face, making sure that Tamlin didn't see it since he knew how sensitive she was. He knew there would have been no remark, not even a strange look over it from Tamlin. The boy just found himself more annoyed at the world than anything else.

"Let me take Tamlin to Sebastet and put our things up. I'll come back and do what I can to help you with him. You know you don't have to tell me anything until you're ready to. Hang on long enough for me to get him settled and I'll be back," he told her softly and leaned down to press a tender kiss to her cheek before heading back to the boy.

"Come on. I'll get you settled then come back and do what I can to help her calm him down enough to get some sense out of him," he told him simply then took him inside of the castle. He gave the boy the rules easily but quickly, trusting in his sharp mind to memorize them, passed their bags over to a couple of servants, "When you're ready to settle, just flag one of the servants down and ask them where they put your bag, they'll lead you down the many hallways in this place until you find a room you like then bring the bag to you. Sebastet already knows we're here so you can either go ahead and find a room, go get something to eat, walk in the garden, or head to the bathhouse. Your choice. You're here to learn Tamlin, and by that I mean the stuff you can't find in a book. Explore the castle a bit, get to know your way around. I'll introduce you to Sebastet once I help Rebecca with Desha. And just to let you know, she's now the head chef of the castle and he's the lead healer. I don't doubt your ability to find your way to the kitchen at the very least, so do what you can. I'll come find you when this is settled," he told him simply, treating him more like a man than a boy and hoping he understood the difference.

Then he left him in the Front Room and headed back to sit next to Rebecca, putting one arm around her shoulders and pulling her into him without shifting Desha, just knowing she needed the comfort right now.

After a few moments, he finally pulled her back enough to lift her chin gently with a finger, "Now Dearest, I know you can help Desha calm down. It's actually one of the abilities I sensed within you when I met you. I know you're upset right now too, but please try for me," he said softly, showing her nothing but his confidence in her as he had before.
