Welcome to Gaia! ::

Katherine shrugged. "About as much as you know about the people who want to kill me." She spoke causally. "You would think that now that i have married they would target Matachi." Of course they wouldn't Matachi would be a dowager King. She wonderd how they would work out mildly. Of course it wouldn't he would die when she did but not many knew that. "How do you think you attracted spies?" Of course she knew what that was about but her gifts after all were illusion.

((Sorry for the wait... I thought I was going to get here sooner.))

"This old thing? A harp I was given by my grandparents. I had another one from my parents, but that was only for practice. I'm originally home taught by my parents. We were a traveling band up until a few years ago when I left on my own. I was specifically told music had strange powers and since, I've been absorbing all the knowledge I can find. It even has the power to bring back the dead. The Song of Rebirth, would work as well. Though as always, there's something... off-kilter about them." Benjamin said in quite a mouthful.

Lord Dracien smiled politely. He has just heard some interesting rumors and thought he might as well bring them up. He didn't acknowlede what she had just said. "Have you heard about the tremors going on lately around the abbandoned temple?" The lord asked politely. He himself didn't think much of it, but Katherine should learn of it.

Silently, the vampiress wondered what had happened with everyone. The one man hadn't come back, although he had said trips would be maybe once a month at best now. He had married and his new wife was pregnant. She wished them both well and said she looked forward to his visits, even if they were less frequent. Ben was a nice boy, but he had probably found someone new to play with. Gabriel had pulled out an old flute from her childhood. She had tried to play, but only could play the old tunes from those days long past. Paradox. Well, she didn't ever expect to see that one again. He had other things to attend to that were probably much more important.

Putting the flute up to her cold lips, she began playing. It was an old song, but it was still very beautiful.

"Sekain was a great help, until he died. I think I should leave now, though. You have important matters to do, and I have to unload a new shipment at the docks." The lord said, thinking about things. The queen had been through more stress apparently, to be going around telling others to talk to dead people. Dracien suddenly turned around and started dashing off. When he got back to the stump, the old man had completely dissapeared.

(Going out, see you guys later.)

Sarah had gotten up before the sun to walk around the town. It was so empty, it was almost terrifying. As far as she knew, Black was asleep where they had lain down together. The bard seemed to be gone, but the castle was standing. Maybe he's inside... She thought to herself. Now, she sat on a roof, enjoying the sky. It was so beautiful. If only Black were with her. Then it would be perfect.

Sekain neared the temple, and felt the large gathering of assassins of the order, he continued past it to the meeting grounds that was high atop a mountain, a place known only to the order, illomeania and decimation, no mortal demi or god has ever found the place due to the protection it was under by Decimation and Illomeania together, their power was like Sekain nad Katherine, hence why they were split up, but now they're back together they'll be more difficult to stop.

The shire lead Sekain up the steps and through the treacherous woods. A they ascended the air got thin and the mist grew thick as did the woods. Sekain wa allowed passage due to his place in the order. The mark on his wrist, the mask and his presence granted him passage, as it did with other members, should anyone else be lucky enough to find the path, it won't be long before they're lead back to the start, ot to their death. as Sekain reached the cliff of which the grounds stood he smiled as he walked from there one leading Shire by foot. A few more twists and turns in the road and through the rocks and trees and there it was. Deep within the mountain range stood a cave, and within the cave was a crater. Sekain's father had build up the mountain around the sacred place for extra protection as it was his birth place. As they walked in he smiled as the lanterns were lit and the voices grew stronger as the golden horses of Illomeania stood proud and beautiful along side the existing members of the order.

Once Sekain had stepped inside the order was present and with a motion of his hand a boulder rolled infront of the entrance and the passage had closed, and the unnatural fog grew thicker so the trees and the surroundings were unable to be seen
