Welcome to Gaia! ::

Remus nodded. The sword remained out. He caught up quickly. He kept shaking his head, trying to shove aside his animal side as it screamed for action.

Quinn took up the place where Remus had stood, wand drawn and ready to attack anyone that entered the room. The tomb had to be guarded, and so help him even if Troden entered the room he wouldn't allow the tomb to be taken without a fight. He had learned much in his time away from the city, and not even Troden would find Quinn such easy prey any more.

Remus's animal side altered, now concerned for the well being of it's mate. "Lina, are you alright?"

"I think you are right. No one will be able to look at them the same way knowing how they feel and what they attempted. But, they wouldn't have done it were it not for Ashra's spell, activated by Moneko's own order." He took a few moments before continueing. "In the end the decision is yours alone, no one will dispute that, but I wouldn't punish them. I would remove them from their high positions and place them where they can still be useful, but also where they can't do any severe damage should another spell like this activate. The only one I don't know about is Salen. He shouldn't have delved into that book. He should have informed you when he discovered he could. I wouldn't disagree if something needed to happen to him."

Remus gently held her shoulder. "Are you certain those are the only two options? It may be frowned upon, but some good can come from breaking tradition."

Speaking of Troden, he was currently watching as the rest of the Rajens returned to their former posts, his gaze sombre as all slowly returned to normal. Why had he let them go? They were in the Rajen territory and could have easily been defeated because of it..but in his current state that would prove to be impossible.

He had lost something back there as that man from earlier cast his spell, taking away a fire he should still have. What was it? He thought back on the fight within his mind, his younger self pitted against what he was now and realized with inaudible snap within him what it was. The hurt that filled him before was gone, the betrayal he had for the Ten was gone. He still felt the need to separate imself from them, but the reasons behind it was purely legitimate now and not fileld with a heated passion that went beyond that legitimacy and fueled passion within others. Now it was replaced with something else...something that could not be name now, but he would make sure would work in his favor later...

It was then that he sensed another presence nearby, no multiple presences that were closing in on him, all of whom he had been waiting for, "Have you come to interrogate me once again dear sister or have you decided to aid me in my Cause?" he asked, turning to meet his siblings and Sabriel.

"I have come to do neither," Kanna replied, her fans hanging limply from her hands. "But know this, if you do not return and leave the Sulla stronghold a sit had been before within the next week Troden, I will kill you as I will those that caused its destruction."

Troden didn't even blink, "You will stay within the stronghold and watch the proceedings to hasten this order am I right?" when he was given a small nod he continued, "Then you have nothing to worry about dear Leader. The work will be done as you command." with that, Sabriel moved once again to his side and the group, with the exception of Tara who discreetly left towards the Lotus territory, moved towards the Sulla stronghold and temporary base.

A softness broke through her cool gaze before hardening once again after the kiss, "Yes, but we'll need Othello and the others Milan had spoken of before to do it. Now more than ever we will have to Awaken her as soon as we can, which is why we are going back to the Rajen territory." as she finished the last statement, the other elders looked on in surprise, but said nothing.
