Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eldin stood there, shocked. “Wait… I… I d-don’t understand…” He didn’t speak any more as everyone began to panic and began to worry. Slowly slipping down against one of the chairs, the man didn’t speak before looking up at the others. “Why… Why am I on this list…? Why are any of us on here?” Speaking softly, he wasn’t sure on what to think of this. Did they really think that… no, wait, no one knew what it was that they were thinking. All of this was insane, really. So damn insane…

“Rave?” knocking on the door, Dusk leaned back with a bit of annoyance. “Damnitt, Rave, where the hell are you?” She snapped again before crossing her arms and waiting for another moment. For the past five minutes, the woman had been trying to find her general, but it was beginning to become a bigger problem than what she normally had to deal with. The meetings had gone for a lot longer than normal and now… now what? Now she eventually gave up and just opened the door. “okay, I know that you’ve gotta be in here. You’re not home so yo-… Rave?” Frowning, Dusk looked around slowly, her arms dropping. The place was… trashed. Absolutely trashed.

As Kyoshi spoke to Monty, Dusk looked through Rave’s office, concern growing. The man was far from a slob and this room was just that: the room of some slob. She looked around, trying to see if Rave had left anything for anyone to find but there wasn’t anything… nothing. “s**t…” Whispering the words, she checked the windows, checked t see if there were trails from shadows but nothing was there. Rave wasn’t in the room and it looked like someone had either searched for something or two or more people had fought. She knew that it wasn’t the last one because… well, no, she didn’t know In fact she didn’t have any damn idea on just what it was that had happened.

Closing the door and walking out, she went to search for someone that would know. Maybe a guard or someone, but anyone she asked told her that they hadn’t seen rave all day. Worry increased and it wasn’t long before she found herself shifting to where Kyoshi was. The fact that he was on the phone had never stopped her before, and it didn’t now. Tugging on his shirt, she frowned. “Hey, have you seen Rave?”

Dusk merely growled back as the other decided to growl at her but she frowned a bit when he spoke. "With Monty? What the hell does he want?" She looked confused, walking away with the other. Since she had officially become Queen and not just the ruling Princess, Dusk had gotten her way on the leniency on the need for dresses. Even now she simply wore a hot as hell suit, looking damn good on her with her black and white chopped hair. A lot of people didn't like it but ah well. She did her job still so what was the problem? "I just needed to talk to him about some stuff... What's he got to say? There's something wrong... isn't there?" Damn it all.

Sighing softly, Dusk took the phone, frowning. "Monty, stop shouting and just talk... I can't understand a damn word that you're saying." She glowered, leaning against the nearest wall and watching those around them. For now the two were alone but she had a bad feeling about what was happening. Rave's office was always immaculate, just like everything else about the other man. To think that there was something going wrong... something that apparently was an understatement. "Monty, Rave's gone... His office is trashed all to hell and now I'm being told that there's something going wrong. Instead of shouting, talk to me or give the phone to someone that's going to speak with a clear mind. What's going on?"

Staring straight ahead, the little color that Dusk had drained from her face. "They've been.... WHAT?!" Snarling, her voice raised as her temper went above that of even Monty's, her language enough to make anyone back away in terror not of crude language but by the eloquence that she could show her fury. By the time she had finished, she was gritting her teeth, speaking softly, slow, "Keep Eldin with you then... That's got to be where Rave went then..." Snapping, she looked at Kyoshi, "Find Kalore. Now." If Rave and Kit had already been taken then they'd have to make sure that Kalore and Eldin didn't suffer the same fate. "I don't know what the hell is going on, Joker. I'll have the prisons searched and find who's doing this but the orders are coming from the guards, not me."

Eldin bit his lip gently, resting against the couch as he shook his head, "I just have my work stuff... My house is locked up and last time I checked there wasn't anything missing or anything there that shouldn't be there. I um... yeah." He was flustered, his ears twitching with each raised word that anyone spoke, the sound of his earrings jingling the only positive thing around at the moment. Where was everyone? If this wasn't some cruel joke, then who was causing it? Why?

Slowly, Eldin nodded. He gave him his sizes softly, not sure on just what it was that was going on still.By now the shock should have worn off, but he continued to listen to the conversation, knowing full well that he shouldn't, it was only worrying him more. That didn't stop him as he looked up at the demon, confused, "Do you think they got the others too already?" Right now, it looked like they had Kit for sure, but Rave and Kalore? Those two were hard to get, hard to track down when they wanted to be difficult. Kalore never did what he was told to and Rave was so powerful... did they really get them? Surely not...

Dusk snapped again at Kyoshi, "Damnitt, look for Kalore, now! If he's on that damn list then we need to find him right now, Kyoshi." She was livid. To find that someone was tracking down perfectly innocent people... it infuriated her. "I'll speak to the guards and find just what it is that's going on. If someone goes after Eldin, don't kill them but keep them hostage. I'm sure Monty's skilled at interrogation." That seemed like the demon's perfect job. Beginning to walk away, she spoke briefly, "I'll speak to you soon, Joker. I need to find out what's going on."

Eldin nodded, trying to smile as he watched the other, "I hope that you're right." he didn't doubt that they didn't get Rave. The man's shadows made him impossible to keep down unless someone found a way to block him from his power, but they'd have to rip the shadows from him and Eldin didn't think that that was possible from anyone that they possessed. Then Kalore... Monty was right, Kalore was impossible to get too. Those were two of the most powerful elves around and surely they were fine. Surely. "Alright... I... I'll just follow you two..." At least they knew what they were doing, or at least acted like it.

Walking briskly through the halls, Dusk's temper was flaring, her eyes dark and dangerous. She spoke with the top guards but no one knew what was going on or if anyone had been taken in today. No one had been arrested that day. No one had even been accused of anything today. She grit her teeth, storming off in another direction as a scream came from her lips, a ball of shadows appearing in her hand as she messed with it, fighting to keep herself somewhat calm. It wasn't working.

She continued to move, aiming to get to any of the commanders that she held under her charge. Taking a shortcut through the range, Dusk almost went past before she froze, looking at something that was in the trees. Walking slower now, her hand shook as it took hold of the knife that was in the bark. Green, silver... She shook her head, muttering softly in disbelief before her eyes caught a shattered bow, ruined arrows, more knives... They were all Kalore's.
