Welcome to Gaia! ::

Larien could feel herself being pulled back into the shallow prison of her mind, and could hear the evil laughter of Lilith. She caught a glimpse of Tramer and knew she would not let the beast out of her. Just as she felt the evil aura try to push through her last mind barriers she threw them open with full force and confronted Lilith straight on in her mind.
Her body started thrashing around in Tramers arms. Her hands were contorting to the claws of Lilith and then would return to normal. Numerous wounds were forming on her body from where spikes of bone would potrude and then shrink once again.

"Well I am not quite sure he would be interested in a painting or a sculpture, his tastes revolve more around unusual artifacts and exotic weaponry. I think the best gift for him would be to get one of those light arrows, since we broke his first two," Epotheros said with a laugh.

Noticing the time of day Epotheros had an Idea, "We can always get him one tomorrow when you do your training. Let's just take the rest of the day to enjoy ourselves," He said taking her by the hand and leading her around the city. Epotheros though had no idea where to go, but he figured that if he kept heading west he would reach his planed destination. Just as the sun was beging to sink into the horizon, Epotheros had found his destination. It was a cliff that overlooked the sea, giving a perfect picture of the sun quenching it body into the depth of the ocean. "So what do you think?" he asked Clover when they had time to catch their breath.

((A sunset, how cliche))

Feeling her slowly rest her weight on his side, Epotheros reajusted his position so they could face eachother. He wrapped his free hand over the small of her back, pulling her to him encouraging her to lean into him again. He also lifted her hand up with his other and lightly kissed her hand. "I love you dear," he said renewing his vow from the day before. This was another moment Epotheros hoped would last forever, and fortunatly Brutus was no where to be seen or heard to interupt them. All he could do at this point was to stare at the reflection of the sunset in Clover's eyes.

"What is it Ty?" Epotheros gowled, using every bit of strength to stop himself from picking Ty up by his robe and throwing him off of the cliff. "What is so important that you would come out of hideing to tell me about it." He then paused as it begain to sink in as he though to himself, "What could be so important to bring Ty to him at this moment? It had to be serious." He then calmly asked Ty again, without a hint of hi earlier hostility, "Has something happened to Larien or Tramer?"

Training? Is that why we're here?
"Perhaps we could coerse her trainer to help us as well, besides, when have any of us truly gotten any good rest ever since this little escapade started. What difference do you think another week will do?"
TY spoke as he moved along side Epotheros while they began to search the city for signs of the remaining members of their party.

Tramer held Larien close as the change began, Tramer checked the amulet he gave her to see it glowing a bright red, Tramer new the amulet was doing everything it could to help her but he doubted it would be enough. Tramer felt completely helpless he swore to protect Larien and yet when she needed him most he could do nothing. Suddenly when Alderan started to closely examine Larien, a hint of hope glittered in Tramer’s left normal eye hoping something could be done, but as Alderan backed away and formed the bow of light the voice in Tramer’s mind returned “kill him” the voice said simply. Tramer sensed an emence amount of energy from the bow and arrow Alderan had created, far more than Clover had ever put into her arrows. Tramer carefully laid Larien on the ground, Tramer couldn’t think straight and the voice grew ever louder, “he is meaning to kill her, he will betray you all, he is your enemy, kill him” the voice contained, Tramer mumbled a spell teleporting his right in front of Alderan swords drew, suddenly pure darkness emanated from Tramer blades as he unconchesly used magic, Tramer swing the sword in his right hand vertically slicing through the bow of light the blade stopping just as it made contact with Alderan’s neck, “if she is not able to beat the evil inside of her..” Tramer said his voice dieing out “then I will be the one to end her life” Tramer said the anger more that apparent in his voice “now get out of here!” Tramer said as he removed his blade from the old mans throat and turned back toward Larien. Suddenly he felt a surge of darkness flow through him, Tramer could fell Dericos attempting to free himself but Tramer narrowly managed to keep him contained, Tramer sheathed his swords as he knelt down next to Larien, suddenly Tramer realized what Zant’s plans were as he looked at Larien’s trembling body. Zant new that even with Lilith or Dericos in control nether Larien or Tramer would be able to kill each other, but by releasing Lilith and Dericos at the same time there would be no one to stop ether one of them.

Tramer sat on the ground holding Larien in his arms, Tramer hands were shaking as more and more dark energy flooded his body, “Larien, I need your help here” Tramer said softly. “corisar borilarvish epotheros” Tramer mumbled taping into Epotheros’s sub conches “Eptotheros…Zant knows were here, get out of the city with Clover, don’t worry about me and Larien there’s not time…” Tramer said in the back of Epotheros’s mind. Tramer picked up Larien and carried her into the near by room carefully laying her on the bed, Tramer sat beside her keeping a close eye on her condition only being able to hope for the best.
