Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eitan cried a little longer then pulled himself together a bit, Eabha making happy giggles all the while. Wiping his tears he set Eabha down and she toddled over to the sleeping Azmaria and kissed her lightly on the cheek. Abraham went over to his father and tugged on his pants.

"Paba . . . she laugh . . . Eav laugh . . . she neber laugh 'fore." he said happily. Eitan bent down and hugged him warmly.

"She can hear us now, Abe. She's going to learn how to talk just like us now." He looked up to Chrono holding Azmaria and sighed, "I only wish she could have stayed awake a little longer. I don't know how I could ever repay her."

Eabha was busing herself by making noises and listening to everyone. As her father spoke she pointed to him and looked up to Blaise. Blaise signed the word daddy to her. Eabha then tapped her ear, she wanted to know what it wounded like.

"Daddy." she said slowly.

Eabh smiled and tired, "daaa-neee."

Blaise laughed and nodded to her, "She's going to be a quick learner, Eitan."

Eitan nodded brightly and scooped up Eabha as Abraham held his finger, "Well, I guess I really should go see Adelaide now . . . I'll be back later. I'll definately bring them to see you all more, I'm sure you could help Eabha learn a lot, Blaise."

Blaise nodded and waved goodbye to the tots as they left with their father. Kaden had waken by now and was stumbling over to the small goup trying to rub the sleep from his eyes.

"Whass going on?" he asked drwsily.

Blaise looked to him curiously as he mentioned Rosette then made an excuse to avoid her. She could see what he was doing. Shaking her head she looked up at Kaden.

"Sleep well?" she asked.

He nodded, looking a little guilty, then said, "You're not angry at me?"

"No," she sighed, "Everything was all just a bit . . . overwhelming."

Kaden nodded. She could tell he wanted to tell her something. He was afraid to though, he didn't want to distress her more. He died and was gone for a time . . . things happened.

"Something you want to tell me?" she said.

"Oh, well . . . um."

"Kaden . . . just tell me. I have everyone else keeping secrets, I don't need you to start."

Kaden sighed and clenched his fists slightly, "Alright . . . eh, you might, um, want to sit down."

Blaise nodded and went to the other side of the room, she didn't want to be waking Azmaria or Satella. She found a seat and Kaden took one facing her.

"You know how last night I asked Rosette about angels? Well, that was because . . . okay, so, I died. There's no way to deny that."

Blaise nodded and motioned for him to continue, now interested.

"Well . . . when I died . . . things happened. I . . . I saw people. A lot of people. And two people were there with me . . . talking to me. They said . . . they said they were your parents."

Blaise froze, a look of utter shock on her face. Kaden wasn't sure if he should continue, if Blaise would be alright. But he was too far into it now. He couldn't just stop there.

"They looked like you . . . I'm sure they were your parents. Especially the woman. She had your eyes. They wanted me to tell you some things . . . they somehow knew I'd be going back. They said that they are proud of you. They always have been and always will be. They said not to give up hope and fight . . . fight for what is right in the world. They love you very much, and they're always there. Always there beside you, no matter what. They will always be with you in your heart."

Blaise was completely silent, with her face in her hands. Kaden could see the trears leaking through her fingers. She didn't move and didn't stop crying.

"Kaden . . ." she whispered, "P-please . . . please d-don't tell m-m-me you s-saw Annalise. Not my l-little A-Anna."

"That was the other thing," he said softly, "She wasn't there with them. They know she's still alive. They want you to find her and take care of her like you always did . . . like you always have."

Blaise was shaking now and crying harder than before. Kaden knelt by her and held her quivering form in his arms. He hoped she was alright. Kaden held her for a long while to comfort her as she tried to compose herself. After a time she straightened up and Kaden let her go.

"I have to go and find her, Kaden. I have to." she said.

"I know . . . but it's very dangerous, what with that spider demon out there and all."

Blaise nodded, then a thought struck her, "We never told Rosette or Chrono what happened, did we? We never told them any of it and . . . oh. Jeezum, this isn't good."

Blaise jumped up and began to walk for the door hurriedly. She neede to find Chrono or Rosette and tell them.

"What, Blaise? What is it?"

Blaise turned and faced Kaden slomnly, "She knows where we are . . . she thinks I'm the Messiah, ther person they want. Who's to say they won't come back fpr Chrono, or Rosette? Or me?"

Kaden took a sudden breath and followed her out the door, "We have to find them and tell them now."

((Poopie. Alright, so, in a couple minutes I'll be shipped off to my mother's house again. My mother's having quite a few problems at the moment none of which I am too fond of and I'm not really happy to be sent over there, but pity me, the world still goes round. The point of this? No internet. I'm not sure for how long I'll be there, but I'll see what I can do. See evryone later I guess . . .))

Kaden suddenly felt rushed and vulnerable, jumping at every noise, hoping the crazy spider demon wouldn't jump out of nowhere and strike him dead. Blaise seemed more pulled together than he did with a determined look in her eye and a fearless stature. She was much younger than he but she was much braver. He wouldn't be able to pull off half the things she'd done and keep his witts about him. However, he didn't have to face many things she had to.

Blaise was trying to keep ahead of Kaden, she could tell he was jumpy. She didn't know the forest too well yet so the chances of getting lost were likely. But in this situation, being lost wouldn't matter, they needed someone found. As she turned onto a new trail she saw Rosette pinning Chrono to the ground.

"Rosett! Chrono!" she shouted to them, "Sorry to interrupt but I feel our lives are possibly more important than what tomfoolery you have going on here."

Kaden saw Chrono's look and was about to tap Blaise on the back when she started up with something, "Well I don't know!"

Kaden heaved a sigh, almost afraid she would have said something but Blaise understood what was going on, "Look, Rosette. A lot has happened lately, we're all on edge, we're all trying to cope. Chrono might just have a few things to sort out for himself before he comes to you, because I'm sure you talk to eachother if something is wrong. He knows to come to you when he needs to. But, this is all somewhat beside the point, I need to talk to you both."

Blaise shrugged and looked to Kaden, "I didn't catch her name. You might want to ask him. He was the one subjected to her controll."

Kaden nodded, "Yes, her name was Rizelle. A big spider beasty. And we would have been devoured by her little spider munchkins if Azmaria and Satella hadn't shown."

"Which is beside the point," Blaise interrupted, "What's important is what she wanted and the fact that she escaped alive."

Blaise shook her head and rubbed her eyes. What a mess they were in now.

“At first . . . when it was just Kaden there and he was . . . well possessed, he asked me to tell him where all the forester posts were. He wanted the exact location. Because our post was the central and main post I know where every other post is. I'm not sure that has relevance, but it might as well seeing as how that's key information. I wouldn’t tell them so she tried to get Kaden to hurt himself even . . . I tried to get him to snap out of it and it was beginning to work even though slowly. Then Rizelle moved from wanting to know where all the posts were to needing the name of the Messiah. I wasn’t saying anything . . . never would I give you away, Rosette. But Kaden was still trying to fight her power over him and someone had to say something before she killed us both. I’m not positive as to what was going through his head, but I’m pretty sure it was the same thing going through my head when Jacob had me back at that battlefield. Tell her it was someone other than who it really was. Because Rizelle still thought she had power over him, she believed Kaden. Downside, the name he gave her was mine. That was a little bit opposite of what happened on the battlefield . . . instead of volunteering himself he volunteered me . . . good job, Kaden.” She finished with sarcasm.

“Hey! I w-was trying t-to – it wasn’t exactly easy, I mean . . .” Kaden stammered, trying to defend himself, “I didn’t mean it! I was trying to . . . well, I’m not sure what I was trying to do, but I could barely think on my own as it was!”

“Chill out, Kaden. You know I’d rather her run me through than watch as she got Rosette. If you’d like, Kaden could tell you the rest. I can’t because someone thought it was a good idea to hit me upside the head!” She paused to glare at Kaden who shrugged, then looked back to Rosette and Chrono, “I was too busy being unconscious for the remainder of the rendezvous, any other information is unknown to me.”
