Welcome to Gaia! ::

James lowered the bow. "No, I don't know anyone by that name." holding on to the violin with the other hand he jumped down to the ground not to far from Sebastian. "Then you are a contracted Demon? Where is your mark? Let me see it." James said still on guard.

Jame's looked at the mark, a small sence of relief came over him. So he's not the one....His head snapped up at the name. "Jim Macken? You've heard of him? Where have you heard it?" The suddenly realizing he'd been rude. He apologized. "I'm sorry...Would you like to come inside? I don't have much but at least we could talk in private."
James cradled the violin and turned around to open the door. The house was run down but the inside was very comfortable, cozy even.
"Please sit down Mr. Michalis, Perhaps you and your young master can help me."

"the same age as Ciel....Yes that is correct." James nodded. " As you probably know, This is not my true appearance. I took on this form after hearing the sorrows of a dying man. A Man who had his sons taken from him when they where very young..." James began to walk about as he spoke, drawing some hot water from a fireside kettle and perparing a cup of tea for his guest.
" His name was James Macken Sr. He was a coal miner who worked very hard to provide for his young sons and wife. His wife died of the feaver and his sons had gone missing, for years he tried to get the police to try and find the kids, but had gone bitter and angry when they didn't seem to care."
James turned around with a teacup in his hand, continuing his story. "IT was a year ago when I found James Macken, he was very ill, close to dying....it was his tears that moved me to assume his missing son's appearance, if only to ease teh pain of his passing. He took me to be his real son whom he called 'Jim Macken' and found his reason for living. So I played the part of his son. he gave me the violin that he intended on giving Jim if he ever saw him again. With My skill I played across the country used the money I earned to help improve the lives of the villagers in small ways. It was on one of my trips away that a demon took advantage of his anger and hate and contacted him to steal away young children in revenge against the people who denied him justice."
James put the teacup in front of his guest. it was empty. The man who wasn't human looked at him. ".....as I said that I don't have much, but I believe that this would suit your taste?
In the teacup was the that particular aura, "New Moon Drop" Tea.

James took a sip of his own drink, it was cream. " I am one of the many children of Auberon, an elf or a fariy as the humans call us here."
"Finding the boy was never my intention at first, but as this rouge demon started stealing children, I got desperate started to save as many as I could by lure them away into the safty of my father's realm..Had I had known that Alois Trancy was really Jim Macken, I would have gotten to him first."

"Very well, I have no problem with that, but keep your seal-mark uncovered and do any don't make any sudden moves." James stood up and picked up the violin. As He played it, he magicaaly transported them both to the fairy world

They appeared in what looked like a room made out of growing vines and slender trees, the canopy overhead shieled a soft misty light.
The children where asleep, laying here and there on the soft velvet grass sometimes snuggled together like puppies.
James carefully walked through them."He was here somewhere....Eh? Father?"
King Auberon was seated on the grass, tenderly cradleing the head of Alois Trancy on his lap, the Elf-king seemed enthralled by the boy's beauty, gently stroking the golden hair and the soft ivrory skin. "Amadan...this boy...is going to stay with me."

King Auberon looked up at Sebastian with his strange milky gray eyes. He looked at the mark on his hand for a secound then smiled as if what Sebastian had said amused him. "A leashed Demon who tells me what I cannot have. My son beloved, why did you bring him here?"
"To show him where I am keeping the childern, This one is contracted to Ciel Phantomhive."
"The boy we know as 'Shadowed skies' ?" Now the elf-king seemed much more intrested. He spoke to Sebastian. " My son, Amadan, has a habit of interfearing with the lives of humans, usally it is nothing more then tricks and dreams but he has encountered a problem with one of your kind. While I cannot promise anything in retrun, I would request that your master tame this demon as well."

Auberon nodded. "Very well, I will return the boy.....just as long as this demon is stopped. The last thing I need is a dispute between my realm and hell." The Elf-king looked down at Alois. "Tis such a pity, I've never seen another like him in centuries...."
James cleared his throat. "Yes, you have Father....He's exactly like my own human parent, as I remember, you visited my human father while he slept."
Auberon smiled. "That is a great idea my son beloved." He said, still stroking Alois' hair. "You may go now, When the danger is past, I will personally see to that all the children are returned to their homes"

Auberon nodded a sly sort of smile on his face as he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

James and Sebastian appeared right outside the Inn. It was very late at night. "Sebastian, I'm afraid that I must apologize, when I heard that Ciel Phantomhive had arrive I thought that my problems where over, I could just use him as bait to get that Demon to reveal himself....." He looked at the Crow Demon. "....Haven't you heard? Rumors say that there is a bounty on your head. You and anyone closely associated with you."
