*Whether Zenogais' visit was truly to ask where Mastema was, or whether it was for another reason, who could say for sure. It seemed however that he had not disturbed the children's rest. They were left to do just that, as was Thanatos, and Nana. Zenogais would find Mastema sooner or later, and then he could carry out what buisness he needed to. If anything, at least he had caught a glimps into the room, spoken to Thanatos, and seen the children. If Zenogais had any alterior motives, hopefully they would be finished now*

Morrigan stepped onto the cobbled rock that paved the Citadel's streets.
Her solid, steel stiletto heels cracked the stone open with every other step. All that could be heard was a light 'Click' and then a loud 'Crack' from her walking.

*Mastema was now back in the 100th floor, checking over Zio's "scans." Soon enough the door opened and Mastema got to his feet* Come in, Zenogais *Mastema turned and faced Zeno, blinking when he found Zeno presenting Fuuraiken's hilt to him* Zenogais...?
Zeno: Sir.... *He saluted with his free hand* I've come to request the decommissioning of myself, Prototype Alpha Zenogais
If I did not know better, I would say you were joking. *He frowned* What is this about, Zenogais?
Zeno: It's pretty simple, sir. My uses to this citadel are no longer significant..... so I request to end my burden on its resources, especially with the destruction of the 4th sub level.
Is that really all?
Zeno: You're right. It isn't. I no longer feel capable to fulfill the duties I was assigned, including safe guarding this citadel. I no longer feel the vigor and eagerness to fight, not to see blood nor to see my enemies fall.
And it is for this.... depression that you request to be dismantled.....?
Zeno: I realize my request is more or less a betrayal. I ask any fate which is to be given in response to my actions. Which ever method you need to "decommission" me.
It would truthfully be more effort to dismantle you than to leave you as you are
Zeno: I see...... well then I formally resign from my position. Without Fuuraiken I'll eventually shut down on my own.
You truly would rather die than continue as you are?
Zeno: Yeah... I just don't feel alive in the least.... not anymore. Just take the sword and let me outlive the rest of my existence. It'll be enough.
Hmm.... I see...... *He thought for a moment* The Fuuraiken is your prize.... keep it. I have a feeling you want more than such a pathetic end. I will allow you to resign without repercussions.... You may leave and choose never to return if you wish
Zeno: Fine.... that works just fine with me... *Zeno sheathed Fuuraiken at his side* I bid you good day, Lord Mastema *Zeno turned to leave*
Will you be leaving immediately?
Zeno: No.... I'm gonna think for a while and then pay a few visits. You'll know when I leave. *With that, Zeno left the 100th floor*

*No doubt Trilla would be greatly impacted by Zenogais choosing to leave. She wanted so much to be friends with the one she knew as Zeph. The very sight of him would make her smile, so what would happen when she found out he was leaving? It sounded like it might be for good, and would probably have more impact than expected. At least he was going to stick around for a little while longer, though probably not long enough by some's standards*

Zeno: *Zeno would walk right on past the children's room without stopping. Already, if only it could be seen in the robot's mechanical face, he was burning with some sort of determination and anger*
*Than would awaken a few minutes after Zeno left and yawn* ~_~ nnn? *It would only take him a moment to realize where he was and what was happening. As quickly as he remembered, he tried to forget there was a disk of "truth" in his pocket. It had been several more hours of rest for everyone, since Than returned, and once again he went to check the status of his siblings*

*Bell's musical laughter fills the air and the thunder of hooves closes in. Bell seems to be racing upon a fierce palomino and becoming only closer to the Citadel. Behind her races three guards on black horses and covered with amour and weapons. Bell glances back, her jet black hair tossed in the wind, her normal light lilac dress is hiked up around her thighs and her soft leather shoes are set in her stirrups.* Come one guys! I'm only one woman, if you can't catch me how can you protect me!
*The guards seem to be cursing softly and racing forwards. Bell was a free spirit and was very hard to keep track of, but they had to do it well or face the wrath of Griffin's anger.* Lady Bell! Lady Bell please come back!
*Bell almost collides with the barrier of the Citadel. Her horse paws at the air with it's hooves in fright and throws her off. The horse takes off away from the evil place. Bell straightens and looks at the barrier questionably with wide purple eyes. Placing her hands on the barrier she frowns.* Mother warned me to stay away from unnatural walls.

*Trilla was in about the same state as before, but Micha was looking much better. Even some color had returned to his face, amazing considering he still hadn't eaten. Could being told, he was free from his punishment really have done so much, in so little time? In truth it was really hard to say, but at least his condition was improoving, and that was something at least. Eecheb seemed to be doing better too, he'd even managed to make a mess of his sheets by rolling over a few times. The boy's tail and one foot poked out from under the covers; Eecheb appeared to be snoring lightly. To them, Zenogais' departure was still unknown, and would continue to be until they were told*
Trilla: --.-- | z Z z Z z...
Micha: ...z Z z Z z.
Eecheb: >o< | z Z z Z z Z z Z z--

*Than just smiled at the sight and chuckled a little* Hmm.... Proto can take care of them.... *Than left the room and began heading for his room floor. He felt like a shower*
*Outside the barrier, the horses had stirred up quite a bit of noise and it didn't go unnoticed. For now no one seemed to respond, but something was lurking in the nearby trees, keeping itself hidden*

KB seemed to walk along casually, as he followed the obvious tracks left by Bell and her hasty followers. It seemed as though he walked slowly, yet he seemed to be getting closer to the citadel at an unnatural rate. His bath of blood with his followers had come to and end, and now he was ready to start another. He'd been wanting to pay Mastema a visit, and now he could pay a visit to both of the people he wanted to see. He doubted very much Bell would be anywhere near as accomadating to his adult form as she had been to his child-like form, but he ignored the thought. Sincerity would be a strong enough tool to sway the girl, or so he believed.

*Bell's eyes glow white and she backs away from the barrier as if it had burned her.* If only I had her memories, then this wouldn't feel so wrong. *Frowning softly she twitches her wings uncomfortably. She sighs and waits for her gaurds to catch up. Bell is now around the age of 18 and seems to have stopped growing completely. Unlike her brother, even if they are twins, Bell stands at the full height of 5,5 while Griffin stands at a good 6,2. Bell has shaped out like her mother and the resemblance is uncanny. With Silence slung on her hip she looks like a younger kaiori. The only real difference of Bell is her soft free nature. While kaiori had firm slim muscles, Bell is slim only and is soft like new ivory mixed with silk. Bell's innocence is another give away, she is totally untainted in every possible way.*

Omega: *Omega had been the creature that was observing Bell and her guards from afar. Omega hadn't fed in some time.... and the horses were probably the meatiest thing in the immediate area. When her guards were within 20 meters of her, Bell would have the horrifying sight of seeing a 10 foot tall, white, metal "monster" (for lack of better terms) literally tackling all of her guards in sucession. Even the power of several horses was nothing compared to Omega. Once she'd knocked one of the horses down, Omega's tail would would pluck the guards off the horses and toss them asunder, not really caring for them at the moment. Omega would probably be after them after she was done devouring the horses. If the guards tried to attack Omega, the consequences might not be favorable*

KB growled softly as he watched the large creature attack. He was being forced away, against his will, at the most inoppurtune time. He wanted to stay, he wanted for some odd reason to make sure that Bell would be alright. With a wince of pain he struggled against it, but was unable to shrug off the bindings that leashed and controlled him. Reaching out towards the group,almost as if he wanted to at least do something, he vanished.

*The guards abandon their horses and race the rest of the way to their princess. Circling Bell they stab their swords into the earth. A ring of fire connects their weapons and charges a spell. After a few moments of crackling and buzzing the team dissipates into thin air taking Bell with them. The group was trained to fight but they knew when they could avoid a pointless battle. Bell only gave the creature a final horrified glance before fading to safety.*

Omega: *The beast wasn't really attacking out of any security for the citadel; she was just hungry. Omega, with the threat of the guards gone, would take her time to kill and secure her feasts. Bell's horse was the only one that eluded her. The guards' horses, however, would be devoured entirely*

*The goings on outside, would probably go completely unnoticed and unaccknowleged by the children. Just Omega, getting a bite to eat while the daughter of an enemy of the citadel stopped by all too accidentily. With the sight of Omega going to devour the horses, Bell would probably get an idea of the kinds of things Kaiori might have had to deal with when she had been inside of the "unnatural" barrier*
