Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eldin watched, silent for a moment as he couldn’t believe just what it was that was happening. “I…” He bit his lip, about to speak before his eyes clouded over. Covering his throat, he rested against the couch, blinking rapidly. It felt as though someone had stuffed their hand down his throat, but… he could breathe. He was able to breathe normally, but the feeling of something running down his throat never stopped. Another gasp of pain, and his vision began to change. His rusty brown eyes changed to a familiar ice blue, his whole demeanor seeming to change completely. Still covering his neck, his shoulders moved back, his spine lengthening easily as his hands finally fell.

He reached forward, getting paper from the table and looking around. He needed a pen… Eldin kept fighting his hold on him, the damn child. If he would just stop struggling, he’d be able to talk. He didn’t have much time. Blue eyes met Kyoshi’s as he tapped the paper. He needed a damn pen.

The blue eyes rolled as Eldin took the pen. He wrote just one word at first. “Blind.” Apparently it was directed to the confused men, but only one man would be brave enough to call the two that. He wrote his name underneath it, pointing to himself. “Rave.” He didn’t say anything as he had to still. Eldin continued fighting him, but by now it wasn’t really him as much as it was their powers going against one another. Eldin would know what was going on. He wouldn’t be fighting him this hard. Apparently the boy was getting stronger than Rave had thought. That would have to be noted later, but not now. Instead, he wrote fast.

“Not much time, Eldin’s fighting me. I found Kitanasa. The three of us are somewhere in the Southern woods. Shadows are blocked.” Now the blue eyes began to shift back into the rusty brown of Eldin’s, but he remained controlled. More words on the paper in Rave’s elegant script. “Kalore is hurt, but alive. Kitanasa is without harm. All three of us were taken by guards. None know what is happening. I am not sure on how often I can do this before it too will be blocked. We are attempting to find informat-“ The hand shifted and Eldin’s eyes began to take over once more. Their powers weren’t compatible. But, Rave had made his point. This wasn’t good at all.

As the power drained from him, Eldin almost collapsed, hissing in pain. Clutching his head, he looked up at Joker, wincing slightly. “I’m fine.” Nodding some, he groaned before looking up as Monty and Kyoshi spoke to one another. No, this wasn’t good… and it made sense that someone would get backup. “The Queen must know… she has her… her um, group… they may be able to help.” He looked over, biting his lip. “They were bandit-type people… weren’t they?” his head wouldn’t stop pounding! Ow… he wished he was able to actually do something about controlling his power a bit more, but anima and darkness didn’t mesh up well, sadly.

Eldin nodded, allowing Joker to check on him as Dusk received the call. He flinched as the scream followed, anger flowing through her even towards them. Within minutes, they faced the livid woman. "Are you f*cking kidding me?! Rave possesses someone, tells you what all's happening, but he doesn't have the power to get his a** here?!" Eldin sighed, shaking his head as the woman continued to rant, pacing and letting her anger flow before stopping and facing the others, her arms crossed. "Well boys... This looks like s**t. At least they're alive... Do you guys know any strong trackers? Ziggy can find me information, Talon can track... but they're still not the best out there for magic s**t..."

Thinking for just a moment, Dusk nodded. "Have Hibachi look for information. I'll ask Ziggy and hell, we can get Edward to check some things. You remember that b*****d, I'm sure... Raul and Edward are good at tracking things..." She ran a hand through her hair, her eyes now on Eldin. "You do not leave alone. Am I clear? Someone must be with you at all times and it better be either me, Kyoshi, Raul, or Monty. I don't give a s**t your opinion of the demons, Eldin, so don't you dare open your mouth. If you're on the list then you won't be caught alone. Am I clear?" Eldin didn't like it, but he had to nod. "Yes, my lady." "Good. You guys object? I'll get in contact with the others. If Kalore's hurt..." She didn't want to think about it.

Nodding, Dusk paced a bit, her temper worse than Monty's on a good day. As she put the phone to her ear, her tongue clicked rapidly, pulsing out some type of Morse code of sorts; at least, it seemed like it. "Ziggy, is Raul's group around?" She snapped a bit as he questioned her slightly on it, just the slightest comment sending her off into a rant about what was happening. For a leader, she didn't have the level-head everyone thought she had in the community. Anyone who really knew her knew her temper to be... bad. Very bad. "Just get them, damnitt!" Ziggy complied, leaving her with no one to speak to as she pocketed the phone, her hands running through her hair. "They're in the area... Edward will be able to search bits of Hell, just in case this is some cause of a demon. Cassandra and Raul can check above and see what we can find. We'll find them..."

“Yes, Joker, we’re all going to just sit here like ducks… No, I bet you guys have been working with things like this longer than we have.” Dusk shrugged, starting to pace again. She couldn’t stay still when her people were in danger. Why hers? Damnitt, this just pissed her off! Her eyes widened a bit as she stopped, silent for a moment for once. The man she had checked before coming here… “Monty… Monty!” Turning on her heel, her eyes were a bit wide. “I spoke with Kalore’s father, Kristopher… Do you have anyone who can get into people’s heads?”
