Welcome to Gaia! ::

She had never found anything and was just starting back when she heard his words and him drop from the cliff, him plummeting into death. She barely even heard most of the words, her hand covering her mouth right away. Standing right at the edge of the cliff, they were so high up that the fall was deep, her not even being able to see the ground let alone him. Although, she was close enough to see all that was left.. his staff. Letting out a loud wail, she fell to her knees, getting sick over the fact that she.. just lost him. "I... I could have saved him!" She yelled out, pulling her book from her bag. She read something from it, the staff shaking then levitating to her reach. Once it did, she grabbed it, holding it as tight as she could, her never wanting to let go...

Eventually a splash was heard....but that was about it. There really wasn't much left to say. Before he hit the water he would slam the gem into chest, watching it dissolve before his very eyes. The added energy of the gem made his angelic eye shine brightly, and mere seconds before he landed a blinding light shone up in the air...then died

Now shaking uncontrollably, still clutching to the staff, she had just started to whisper his name as if it was going to bring him back. "I'm... I'm sorry I wasn't there for you just then." She said as the tears that were rolling down her cheek hit the ground. "I'm so sorry!" Shifting, she had finally broke out in all sorrow, everything around her vanishing as she couldn't help but remember her flaws... It was all her fault.

Aes's ki had been coming back to steadily, it was enough to allow him to run after Pale. He knew he had scared her. He forgot about ignoring her for the time being, and gave chase.

After a short chase, he reached a clearing, where he saw her, settled in the middle. He couldn't see her face, so there was no telling her condition. He sat with his back touching hers, and looked up at the sky.

"Mistress, there's hope left. He left behind a family that will remeber him, he's not dead yet." The words had been repeated for all the funerals as of late they had attended together. They weren't meant to be insightful, but to soothe her with somthing she found familiar.

Using the staff, she pulled herself to her feet, and slowly began to walk away, tears still falling from her face, leaving a small trail behind her. Slowly, but surely, she drug herself back through the forest, just getting herself lost, her facial expression showing what seemed like hatred in someone... But it wasn't in him, it was in her. Not seemed to really even be able to walk, she fell again, slipping down the staff, her feelings consuming her, it just causing more tears.

Suddenly, his aura faded. If there was any indication that he was gone, that would probably be it. As his body fell to the depths of the sea, it seemed like he was hearing....voices?

In order to get stronger...you've got to push yourself to the limit. Your not getting any stronger by worrying about your friends and family. Let it all go...loose yourself in the moment

*Kas's eyes would open as she looked down to the sea. *

"He's...not dead. He's still alive." *She said, arising to her feet and giving a small smile* "Kratos wouldn't let him die. I know it..."

*Suddenly, she felt better. Like a great burden was lifted off of her shoulders. She even forced a laugh. She would nod to herself, almost positive he was still alive, denying what she had thought she'd seen. Pushing it to the back of her mind...Jay would never die *
