[*~Youni~*]
"...."
[Youni: Merlins House]
....Everything started with nothing.
seeing the new and unfamilair ....
.... seeking to touch the truth
.... and there by understand it.
This was indeed fascinating. This Cornerstone of Light. Youni wanted to know more-
but it was during that time after Youni receded back into silence to listen, did something catch her attention, something beyond the confinements of the Wizards home, coming closer.
Not moments later Merlin himself seemed to catch wind of his presence entering the sanctuary. Youni stared directly at the distant lights that came closer from the boarder that protected this place with fascination. There were three, each with different tints to them, and intensities. When Merlin went outside to speak to whom every theses lights were, it was eays to see which one was his. It was bigger, bolder with small wispy outline. One of the smaller new lights seemed to flicker and waver a little, before becoming steady once more.
She nearly left her seat as well to follow Solaris when he rose, but instead she simply stood. Remembering Merlins instructions to stay. But she did not reseat herself even as the newcomers came inside.
Having followed the 2 lights to the door, she realized that belonged to two newcomers. Merlin introduced them as Window and Artemis, the last one, Nalo, remained outside the house, so she couldn't see what he looked like. So Youni then proceeded to subject the two strangers to her usual overenthusiastic observations. Starting form the top of their heads, to the bottom of their feet. she paid every detail close attention, analyzing and memorizing till she was satisfied their likenesses would never be mistaken for anyone else's.
Window, was a fit looking human. Mature in age, probably older then Aerith. His skin was darker then hers, it reminded her of the polished steel parts in Cid's workshop. His eyes were green and intelligent, framed by a rich mop of brown hair that was shaggy but left his ears still visible.
His clothing didn't seem to fit him, both parts were either too big, or too large for him.
[EDITED]
The second wore unfamilair clothing as well. The spiked shoulder gaurd was especially interesting to the girl. This Artemis, had white hair a few shades away from her own, with red side burns down by his ears. His eyes color was nearly pale enough to be mistaken for white, but at closer inspection they were simply a very pale shade of grey.
They looked so intense due to his darker skin pigmenting.
Youni regarded the two males for a moment or two longer before curiously moving from her place and poke her nose outside, curious to see the last remaining visitor.
Sure enough, Nalo was there on the grass. taller of them, he looked nearly as tall as Leon, but mature enough to be his equal. His form was fit in proportion to his height, clad in loose and probably comfortable clothing. He wore silver bracers and breeches' that pronounced his matching blue eyes. He shared a feature with her, white hair, his was longer and swept back behind him. Sticking out from that white hair was something Youni found very fascinating....
ears. Fuzzy, fluffy white ears. BIG ones. Why did she find these ears familiar. there was another creature she'd seen with such a feature. Quickly her thought ran a search for any matching features in previously viewed beings, things, forces, elements animals- !!!
"..bunny."
She turned back to Aerith. Blinking once, twice, then repeated. "There is a bunny-human outside."

[[Byoki : Traverse Town : Third District Streets]]
Byoki sat on top of his machina, looking up at a large stone slab with no evident way to open it. Byoki reached into the control sleeves, large metal cylinders that encased his hands and arms up to his elbows. Inside, his hands wrapped around a set of triggers and switches each designated their own special task based on individual, or a combination of inputs.
With a few quick tugs on his fingers he set off something inside the machina that quickly grew into a searing roar from the depths of its core. The machine's mouth snapped open, locking in place. A shield sprang up out of Machina Mauler's versatile shell, blocking the pilot off from harmful backfire and projecting a holographic display of the space in front now blocked from view.
Machina Mauler's mouth glowed a dim red, and slowly from its throat that red grew brighter and brighter till suddenly the machine released a jet of flame flowing out onto the slab's surface. The slab quickly gained a similar bright red beneath the flames, Byoki's efforts now appearing as if he wishes to weld a hole into the stone with the flames now reaching a bright blue and green.
Despite this, Byoki pulled back on his control sleeves and the flames cut short. The mouth of the machine immediate spouted a continuous cloud of steam and dripped with extremely hot water forming a vaporising puddle on the ground below. As the machine continued to cool its metal surfaces, the slab before them shimmered, then opened like a door.
Byoki and his partner stepped through, likely to be quite the sight to anyone within the magician's hidden grotto. A wild, untamed hairdo on the head a shirtless boy, healthily built, with numerous scars and left overs from burns mounted upon a monstrous machine steaming at the mouth with a smoldering metal jaw, glowing red eyes, a violent and sharp torso, all backdropped by a dark city and slowly closing door soon to leave nothing visible but his silhouette and the machine's red eyes and jaw.
"Hey, old geezer!!! We need to talk!"

Solaris
Sorry......I'll be taking my leave now.
{Traverse Town : Third District: Merlin's House}
Watching as the two new seats appeared, he cast an eye at both Window and Artemis. The one called Window seemed to be incredibly polite. So polite that it stirred his memories. Back to older times, before his world had been destroyed, before the war, back to when he was a child still....
It had been a celebration. His fathers birthday. He was only seven years old. He had no idea that in just one years time he would be kidnapped and held hostage. He was just a young boy, still training to become a powerful sage. Of course, there was still a war going on, but his father decided that there should be a celebration, to increase morale. All of the city was invited to attend, that way the citizens would not think of the royalty badly. He had been told that he would have to greet all of those coming in, to show that they cared about the civilians. He only had one line to say and he'd been saying it countless times, but he had never grown bored of it. He enjoyed talking with the people, they always had stories to tell. Ah, and there came another couple. An older couple, they stopped before him and gave him the traditional greeting that came when those who were meeting for the first time used when entering the owners abode. Smiling at them, he responded with the greeting that came from the owner of the abode.
Without realizing it, lost in his memories, Solaris stood and bowed to Window and Artemis. "Greetings friends, allow me to welcome you to this place. I am Solaris Teodolis, the crown prince of the country of Erasden. Let our meeting be a joyous one and let us thank the fates that brought us together." Smiling at them, he bowed once again.
It was then that Youni spoke to Aerith, mentioning a bunny-human. At once, Solaris came to his senses, his memories of old days vanishing. His face turned crimson and he immediately sat down and looked at the table.

~Window~ [Traverse Town::Merlin's House] Window almost laughed when he heard the little girl's observation, except that he didn't know what a "bunny" was. But, he still caught the implications of placing Nalo as a hyphenated human, which Nalo might have taken offense to. Or, maybe he wouldn't. Window hadn't known the Viera that long to see how he would react in such a situation. The little girl was interesting; she seemed to observe everything, maybe even more intensely than Window did, although she was a lot less discreet about it. She also didn't seem very...submerged in her surroundings, more like someone passing through or wandering by in another plane of existence, brushing this world in only the lightest of touches. She did not seem to acknowledge Window's words, instead focusing on the physical observation, and her speech was almost fragmentary in the sense that she seemed to be able to convey only one thought at a time, focusing her whole being on it. However, Window's attention quickly turned to the man at the table, who stood and gave his own greeting. Window was surprised; the man--Solaris Teodolis, and royalty no less!--reciprocated a salutations as equally as polite as his own, something that might be said on his homeworld. No one had done so thus far in Traverse Town. However, he appeared to be embarrassed. The relief at finding a custom similar to his own washed over him, and Window wished he could chastise Teodolis and say, "Please, don't scorn such a custom just because everyone else isn't doing it! Take pride in it!" Sadly, such an action would be rude, and Window had no way of knowing the real reason behind Teodolis' crimson reaction. The most he could do was return the bow, thus acknowledging the other man's deference, and say, "Your Highness, it is an honor and a gift that we should happen to meet in this place and at this time, and I hope the fates will deem us worthy enough to grant us all a prosperous future as well."Not a moment later, Window heard a commotion and a voice from outside. Instantly, he was on guard again, preparing and thinking of a plan to get everyone out safely. He looked to Merlin to see his reaction, and if they should fly or fight.

["..."]
[Land of Dragon : Field near Forbidden City]
The lion masked man continued to charge solar energy while watching how Tsurumi was dealing with the Avalanche. He chuckled lightly as she evaded the monster's attack. Soon the icy attack was upon Revelin, but he vanished from the spot in an instant and was floating high in the air above the creature. The creature was unable to keep up with Revelin's Rocket Jump ability, so the man took the opportunity to use his gunlance to rocket him back downwards at an incredible speed. Right before impacting with the Avalanche's wing, he swiftly swung the gunlance forward to pierce the beast with a large impact.
With the impact of the attack came a shockwave picking up the dust and as it cleared one of the Avalanche's wing was destroyed, leaving it very crippled. Revelin walked away from the beast and then pointed at Tsurumi. "Finish it..." He then continued to walk away from the fallen beast, all while grinning under his mask.

Tsurumi
I'd prefer if you were to just...
...disappear
{Land of Dragons ~ Field near the Forbidden City}
Watching as the beast started to attack Revelin, she was startled by the sudden speed that he showed. It was almost too fast for her to follow. Almost. And then his attack. And such...marvelous chaos. Such destruction. It was...delicious. Smiling a seductive smile, she walked towards the fallen Avalanche as it tried to get up from the ground. Closing her parasol, the wind started to concentrate on the tip and form a deadly blade. As soon as it was complete, she smiled down at the beast and reached her hand towards it's head, almost managing to look like she was a helpful soul. In that instant, she shoved the wind blade into the head of the Avalanche, releasing the gale force winds trapped in it.
Instantly the winds dispersed throughout the Avalanches body, ripping it to shreds from the inside. As the Avalanche dispersed, she turned back to Revelin. "Well what shall we do now?" She asked, her voice almost a purr.

Revelin watched as Tsurumi finished off the beast, and with its disappearance the grin he hid soon disappeared. The mission was over and Reveling returned back to his original calm composure.
"We report back to Vereor via the accessory you were given when you joined the Conclave. Now report the mission's success to him, and then we will be free to go back or do whatever," he said while waiting for her to report.

[Shade : Land of Dragons : Bamboo Thicket -> Field Near the Forbidden City]
Shade finally arrived on the world. The ninja couldn't help but feel a certain homey feel to the place. Shade glanced down at the wolf at her side for a moment before she proceeded out of the thicket where she landed her ship and exited towards a clearing. Where she witnessed two people finish fighting something.
The ninja's eyes narrowed, a man and a woman. She couldn't place her finger on it, but there was definitely something wrong about them. Shade glanced down at Fang, who she noticed had his own eyes narrowed.
'I think I'll just watch them for awhile and see what they do...' Shade thought as she hid in the shadows. Keeping an eye on the strange pair.

Tsurumi

{Land of Dragons ~ Field near the Forbidden City}
Nodding her head to him, she gently touched the necklace, assuming that would work. Did she just think the words? Or did she have to say them aloud? Well, since Revelin seemed to be waiting for her, she assumed aloud. "Vereor, it's Tsurumi. Revelin and I have completed our, rather simple, task. The Heartless has been slain, we're off to do...whatever~" She said, ending her little report.
"Well then...shall we find something to do? Places to destroy, people to kill, cities to burn?" She asked, striding closer to him and, if he let her, she would put a hand on his should and circle, tracing his back with her hand from one shoulder to the next. "Like, for instance, the two creatures hiding over there, fouling up the air." She said as she pointed towards Shade and Fang, her pointing hand clearly visible to them as she, potentially, hung on Revelin's shoulder. If he denied her, she would stand a few feet away, and would still point at Shade and Fang.

Revelin didn't move an inch at all when Tsurumi closed the gap between them or when she began to play with him. She then hung on the man's shoulder while pointing towards some interesting creatures. He stood there amused that Tsurumi wanted to create chaos and quite frankly he wouldn't mind some himself.
"Do whatever you wish... We have some time to kill after all." he chuckled under his mask. "And since you found them, they are all yours. Just don't play with them too much..."

[Shade : Land of Dragons : Field outside the Forbidden City]
Shade's eyes narrowed from the spot she stood, the woman spotted her and Fang already. Fine two could play at that game. With out so much of a blink, Shade sunk back more into the shadows, using her Shadow Meld to blend in with the area around her. Making her almost invisible. As Fang took off farther into the bamboo.

[Benk : Traverse Town : Second District Rooftop]
Benk stared blankly, unimpressed by either shortys' display of words. He even let out a yawn as the one shorty took off leaving one standing in front of him still, "Is she gone yet?" He finally asked when the girl was out of ear shot, closing his eyes and putting a finger in his ear to pick out the wax, "Thought I'd go deaf from all her complaining."
When Byoki opened his eyes and looked around, then down at Moggie with a fake look of surprise, "Oh, you're still here?"

"Are you sure~? There are two of them. We could each have one to play with." She said as she turned to look at the new toys. Noticing one disappeared, she felt the other run off...into the bamboo. "If you don't mind, I'm gonna take the one that ran. I do enjoy a good game of hide and kill." She said as she started walking. However, that walk quickly turned into a run and by willing the winds to aid her, she started to fly towards the thicket, running straight past the almost invisible Shade. Feeling a slight tremor in the wind as Shade would have breathed in, she turned to look back, yet saw nothing.
So continuing with her hunt, she flew into the bamboo, sending blades of wind to cut a path. "Why do you hide from me. I'm just a sweet little girl who wants to play with you~" She said, her voice carrying on the wind, surely making it to Fang.

[Moggie : Traverse Town : Second District Rooftops]
"Uh I'll try..."
Moggie looked up at Alexandra as she spoke. With that the strange girl was gone. Weird how many people followed her and she didn't realize it. She needed to learn how to pay attention more.
The moogle glanced at Benk as he spoke, her eyes narrowed on him. Then he looked at her and-
"Excuse me! KUPO!" Moggie shouted out at the man, "What do you mean I am still here? I could say the same about you! I asked you a simple question and you have yet to give me a response!"
Oooh, Moggie was so close to letting out hellfire on this jerk if he said the wrong thing.
