Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shadow woke from the most decent sleep he had in what felt like an eternity. He climbed out of bed, showered, dress and attached his sword. Just like he did every other day. he left his bed room and decnded the stairs into the main hall. He wasn't sure if he was going to be fully prepaird for the events of today but he was going to give it a shot. All he could do now was hope for the best. Shadow walked into the dinning room and sat in his chair. There was a strange energy building in the air that he could not describe but he knew what it signified.

A very well dressed woman and hauntingly beautryful walked through the camp towards Sakura's tent. She had been informed that the target had been captured and wished to see Sakura for herself. Everyone was always saying that she should not be here, it was to dangerous but this woman was more than capable of looking out for herself. She made it to Sakuras tent, the guards at the door suddenly tensed up at her presance, only staring straight ahead and nowere else. The woman entered and gave Sakura a soft smile. "Hello, you must be Sakura." She said.

"oh hey shadow what's up?" rey said"it's retorical, please donn't actually answer it.

Sakura looked at the woman then spat at the ground near the woman's feet. "Yeah right! Like I would ever help you!..................You hurt Tyrn and then kidnap me from my family....and then you have to nerve to ask me to help you! Are you nuts?...." she said as she turned her head away from the woman. She closed her eyes as she crossed her arms in front of her.

Nina woke up with a start. She'd had a dream....at least that's what she thought it was. Or had that really happened? Grabbing her pouches with her weapons, she ran downstairs quickly, her sword bumping at her side. "Someone please confirm the status of Sakura for me. If what I just saw was true, I know what I need to do, particuarly before this battle begins."

Sakura suddenly got pissed off when she said she wanted to kill everyone in the manor. She quickly reached over the bed, slapping her across the face. "Like hell you will do that! My family will fight back even if I am captured!" she said as tears slowly fell from her eyes. "They will not be defeated so easily!" she said softly with a slight smile.

"Yeah well what do you care Shadow. I'm gonna go out there and if Sakura gets killed then this will be my last battle and these drinks will have helped and if she doesn't then well I guess I'm an idiot." Tyrn said as he took another drink. He looked up at Nina threw a sad smile at her and returned to his drinks. "Your Lilith is talking to her by the way. I can sense her next to Sakura." Tyrn said not looking up from the table.

"Alright then Tyrn, sorry I gave a crap about your health." he paused as Tyrn mentioned Liliths name. "I know she is there. I can smell her from here."
Shadow stood and walked over to Nina. "I can't let you leave here. Going into the centre of the enemy forces is a death sentance, even with your advantages. You'll only be killing yourself and her. I can't live with that." He said. Shadow had to think quickly about how to stop this from happening. He hadn't yet managed to explain his actions of the previous night. "We still have to talk, Nina." He said as he put a hand on her shoulder, hoping that a small gesture was needed rather than forceful persuasion.


Lilith laughed, even as she felt her face tingle from the slap. "I know all about the one that leads the defense of the manor. Teh one that cannot accpet a simple proposal because of something that happened milenia ago. Victory is inevitable for us. Who's head wuld you rather have shown to you first?" Lilith said, she was starting to enjoy herself now.
