*Now assuming Mastema was in the throne, Trilla would trot over the the nearest side of it and put her hands over the side of the arm of the throne before responding. With that would come a wide, "good morning" grin on the child's face, since she'd been woke in such a pleasant manner. On the other hand if Mastema was standing, then Trilla would trot over to his location and first hug the nearest of Mastema's thighs, since he was taller than Zeph and anyone else she's encountered whom was male. Then, Trilla would look up to her father's visage, with a bright and chipper smile and then finally respond*
Trilla: o___o | Yes...!
*It was only one word, but at least Mastema knew the child had a pourpose for being there. It wasn't just a completely random visit. Another simple question from Mastema would be all that was needed to access the question that Trilla had for him. Finally after about three attempts, Trilla would hopefully get her answer, to a question she had been thinking over for quite a while*

*Mastema just chuckled at Trilla's overly delighted mood. He was indeed sitting in his throne, observing several "results" from a freezed frame of the battle which had taken place. One of Mastema's hands would rise and move over to the child, being placed lightly on top of her head* I see. Well then what is it? I am listening. *Mastema's eyes were partially closed and looking out over the citadel*

*When Mastema's hand was placed atop Trilla's head, she would turn her head upward, close her eyes and continue to wear a happy grin. With that, Trilla's forehead would be at the base of Mastema's palm. Her hair had barely moved beneath his hand, since it was pulled back snuggly into the majority of her six small hair spirals. At least three of them needed fixing, two on one side, and one on the other, unfortunately this was not Mastema's fortee. Luckly that wasn't what Trilla wanted to ask of Mastema*
Trilla: whee heart
*After a moment or two, Trilla regained her quizzical whimsy and finally would ask her question. It was a rather intelligent question to ask, as it would make the child aware of who was in the citadel, and who wasn't supposed to be there, like their family enemies such as Xol, or others from the Dojo*
Trilla: o__o | Who's not supposed to be here?

Two massive blades formed in Xol's gauntleted hands. Both were roughly two feet in length, eight inches in height and six inches thick. The metal which they were composed of was a glimmering silver-gold in color and covered in subtle, black runic markings which pulsed with what felt like dark matter infused energy. To the naked eye they would seem like any other blades aside from their exquisite design. They were, in fact though, very sacred and ancient artifacts to which he had scoured the planes of existence through and through for in his absence.
"... Blades of Chaos..." Xol said matter-of-factly as if someone was listening in on him. "Forged in the deepest and foulest bowels of the Netherworld... imbued with my own power... I pity the souls that will stand before you." A twisted growl escaped his lips as he ended the quick history lesson of the aforementioned blades, followed shortly by an equally maniacal chuckle.
With a quick swipe of his right arm, the corresponding blade shot out of his grasp and sliced through the air with a wispy after-image like black mist in it's wake. Connected to the blade was a white-hot chain which hummed dully as the blade arced through the air with an almost mysterious grace before returning back to his hand amongst a loud 'clink' of metal on metal.
Xol grinned lopsidedly and moved his arms behind his back before thrusting them forward in a massive, looping arc that eventually caused a criss-cross motion. The blades followed just behind the arm movements and behind them with just enough slack was their connecting chains. As they crossed, Xol leapt into the air and brought his arms up above his head; immediately thrusting downward and bringing the blades, along with his body, crashing into the ground. A thunderous soundwave followed by a tremendous earthquake broke any peace the area once held as massive chunks of Earth were sent rocketing up into the air. Xol stood in the epicenter of the carnage, silver aura flaring widly around his body as the large chunks of dirt and rock came slamming down into the ground all around him. He wasn't focused on that though, no, his head was turned to the side and tilted just enough so one blazing crimson eye lay focused on the Citadel's barrier.
"..." No words left his mouth, just a long, unabashed silence of pure and utter hatred towards one or more the hidden citys occupants.
A scoff broke his gaze and he leapt out of his newly formed crater onto the now potmarked field. "As good a place as any to train..." Xol thought to himself with a shrug before continuing on with a series of elaborate and almost mesmorzing set of moves. Each one trumping the last in complexity.

Hmm? Who does not belong? Well I should say only a few should be here, and most are the be kept outside the barrier. *Of course he knew Xol was outside the barrier, but the training didn't seem to annoy him any. He seemed rather carefree of anything beyond the citadel barrier* Well now, the actual inhabitants are Myself, your mother, you, your brothers, my generals and servants, Slayer, Tyrsais Himura, Albert Himura, Orias, and any who might be related or affiliated with any of the aformentioned. *He turned to Trilla, hoping that answer would be satisfactory* Everyone else is more than likely to be considered unwelcome. Why do you ask, Trilla?

Trilla: o.o | Trilla wants to know, incase bad people come again.
*With a looming attack aimmed at the citadel, it would be good for the child to know who was and was not supposed to be inside of the barrier. But, it wasn't as if a stranger was going to out right tell her their name, or if anything their real name, so how could she tell for sure? The girl would need to see, all of those who were allowed to be in the citadel, that was the only way she would know for sure. Zio could project the images of those people, onto one of its screens. The always watching eyes and sensors of Zio should easily be able to show the child a picture of everyone who was indeed inside the barrier, who was allowed inside the barrier. Of course she wouldn't see Zeph, but Mastema had come down to the ground floor one day while he was present and everything seemed fine, so Trilla knew for sure that he was ok there*
Trilla: .__. | Hnn... | o.o ! | Can Trilla see them?

*Mastema chuckled lightly and nodded* I understand. I can quite agree with that reasoning. Yes, one moment. I'll have Zio give you a visual list of those who are allies of the citadel. *Mastema closed his eyes a moment and another screen would appear in front of him. Mastema would move it with his hand towards Trilla, as if he'd actually grabbed the screen. Trilla would now be able to use the screen easily* That will give you the names and appearances of the aformentioned people. you can move through the list by touching either of the arrows on the screen. *after passing the screen to her, Mastema would just pat Trilla once or twice on the head*

Trilla: 4laugh Thank you papa~
*With the screen infront of her, Trilla would sit down taking the screen with her and then examine closely all the faces of those who were allowed to be in her home. If more allies were made, and more and more people were allowed into the citadel, then the child would need to see the list again, of the newly updated faces, names, and affiliations. At least if the child saw anyone now who wasn't on the list, she could try to find an adult who could deal with it accordingly. Not only that but she would know the names that went with the faces of everyone on the list. This was all important to know, so it was good that at least one of the children had come ahead of time to learn of such things. The others should be made aware of it too, and perhaps they soon would*

After quite literally hours of training, Xol decided it would be best to stop and go see how things were developing over at the BC. Nothing of importance would come out of the Citadel while he was there so why waste valuable time.
The two blades quickly dissolved into black mist, followed by the rest of his body as he teleported to the Dojo.

*Finally having his fill, Eecheb would leave from the cafeteria and head toward the elevator again. Thanatos was still somewhere by the barrier, not that Eecheb knew that. The boy would hit the required button to make the elevator go up to the highest level, ninety-eight on which his room was also located. From there, Eecheb would search down the entire tower until he wound up outside of the main tower. From there he'd probably continue to look around and maybe even ask Zio for a barring. If Eecheb knew the general direction in which Thanatos was, then he's hopefully be able to find him*
Eecheb: o__o | Hmm.

Tyr- ::The Younger of the two Vampires was atop his lair looking out into the Citadel. He would slowly make his way toward the central tower. If Eecheb were still in the area he might catch a glimpse of the vampire leaping from rooftop to rooftop::

*Truth be told, Eecheb still hadn't left the central tower yet. He was just searching the last two floors of the building for Thanatos, still he was unsuccessful. That didn't seem to bother him any however, afterall the search was half the fun. If at some point Eecheb did start to get annoyed at the fact he couldn't find his eldest brother, then Zio was sure to be a help. It was likely that Eecheb would be out of the building before Tyrsais arrived, then again the vampire might get their first, it was all in the timing. Tyrsais couldn't get into the tower, so perhaps he was on his way to call someone out, but who?*
Eecheb: >.> | Not here either... Hmm, next floor!

::Tyrsais was slowly making his way toward the central tower, and not to long from now here would be upon his target. Zio could be sure unlike Eecheb however that Tyrsais had very little idea of whom was in the central tower. He hadn't the powers to see inside the tower except in a limited fashion from a close range. In fact that was what he was doing now. He would stop on the last rooftop, and begin to meditate scanning the area::

*Taking about two minutes per room, Eecheb would finish the last floor that Thanatos could be on, with the exception of the lobby. Leaving the last room behind and closing the door, Eecheb would start down the stairs and soon find himself in the lobby. If Proto was there, it would be a familiar, and now normal sight. The Prototype had worked its way into the daily lives of the children, some took note of him more than others. Taking a brief look around the lobby, Eecheb wouldn't find Thanatos, but Proto instead*
Eecheb: >.> | Hi.

::Tyrsais wasn't moving from his postion. Though his aura would slowly expand out from his body casting a dark shadow over the area around him. It would be only a few feet at first but would expand quickly. The shadows themselves would seem to be alive searching out for him as well::
