Ryjah chuckled softly and winked at her over the rims of his glasses. "Ah, but M'lady... If you truly were an evil Nightmare, you wouldn't have bothered to ask if I was alright... Would you?" He smiled as he paused only long enough for this to settle in, then he began limping his way into the temple.
"Besides..." he continued, "There's a member of your family somewhere out there looking for you... I ran into them upon my misfortunate awakening onto a pile of dirt and grass..." His eyes narrowed softly as he overlooked his paw quickly. "... I'm really starting to miss that silk pillow now, the more I think of it..."

Lida was once again taken aback by his answer. "I guess not." She looked at the ceiling then back down to Ryjah as he limped more into the temple. She listened as he carried on. "Really, someone was looking for me?" Lida cocked her head to one side and chuckled lightly when he mentioned the silk pillow. "Well, there are some very well decorated rooms in the back of the Temple, silk pillows and all. It was used by Nightmares before the Temple got reclaimed by a group of female Dreams. My father used to reside in the Temple, that's why I'm waiting here." Lida didn't know why she was telling Ryjah this, he could probably care less. "Well, anyway. The water is further in. I doubt you could make it with your paw like that. I'll get you a jug." Lida flapped her leathery pink wings and flew down the long hall, turning a corner at the end. Leaving Ryjah alone.

((Crimflow)) "And what could I possibly do with a jug...?" he asked himself with a puzzled expression to go with it. He didn't have hands or opposable thumbs to carry the jug once it was brought to him. "Oi, well..." he let out a sigh and continued to limp towards where she had pointed the water source had been. "If anything, I'll meet her in the middle... And I must say!" he added, hoping she could hear him, and if not, for his own amusement. "Pink is a mighty fine color indeed!" His muzzle turned into a soft but sly smirk. He was definately trying to play it cool and ignore the throbbing of his paw at the same time.~*---*~ "Are we there yet?" Matrea half whimpered while looking back and forth between his friends. It seemed like the walk through Crimflow was annoyingly long and everything looked the same, so Matrea's attention span had long since run out of things to keep him occupied with. "And I'm not getting to be too heavy, am I?" he blinked up at Rikku. "You can put me down for a while, if I am..." he smiled sincerely. He really didn't want to be a burden...

Lida had been gone for a few minutes, she had managed to navigate her way around the temple, she often explored, to a back room. Inside the room was a small fountain of drinking water. She picked up a small jug from the corner of the room and filled it with water. Lida exited the room and heard Ryjah shouting, she giggled a little. What a strange Dream he was. She continued walking around the temple rooms until she came to a room with a few ornamental dishes and plates on display. Lida picked two dishes from the room and came back to the corridor, which she began to walk along back to where she had left Ryjah. "I have the water." She said as he came to view.
---
Rikku hopped over some more of the lava pits with a concentrating smile on her face. The Temple was so close now. She was so close to the steps. "It's fine Matrea, we're here! See?" Rikku flew the last few steps to the temple and set him down there. "Tada! We got there in the end!"
Saffey had to run and dodge the very hot parts of the ground to keep up with Rikku. She was going to shout to them but she decided to remain her dignity as they were almost there.

((Crimflow)) Ryjah chuckled as he limped up to her. "Thank you, M'lady.." he smiled with a rather graceful bow given his current misfortune. "Not to be a bother or anything, but would you be so generous as to pour me a little water as well? As you can see..." he sat on his haunches and overturned his paws before her. "I'm not gifted with hands, as you are..." he winked.~*---*~ Matrea stretched and flicked his tail upon landing on hard ground. He loved to fly, but he sure did miss the ground. "Yes! We're here!" He giggled at Saffey then looked up at Rikku again. "Do you think Ryjah's in there somewhere?" he asked, making a quick motion of his head to gesture into the temple itself. "It seems kinda spooky, if you ask me..."
He snickered at the idea and turned to face down into the long hall. "Sppooooooookkkyyy..." he called out in a ghost like voice. "Ha! Not so scary anymore, is it, Rikku?!" He continued to snicker.~*---*~ Ryjah's ears perked to the sounds coming from the front. Voices... Voices that sounded... familiar...?
"Hmm..." he mused as he turned his head, this time to the sounds. "Sounds like Matrea and Rikku found the temple alright...." he halfway muttered, but audible enough for Lida to hear, of course.

(( Uber sorry about the late reply!! ;-; ))
(( Crimflow ))
Lida nodded smiling and poured some water in each bowel. "One is for drinking, one is to sooth that burnt paw of yours." The water would cool it down and calm the pain a little, though it would take a while for the burns to completely heal. She was a little sad she couldn't be of any more help. She heard small voices in the same direction Ryjah was now facing too.
"Ma-trea?" Lida sounded back. She had no clue who that was but Ryjah obviously knew. "And Rikku!?" That was a surprise to hear her Deejarne 'Auntie' was here too.
---
Rikku let her wings fold in and rest. They were aching alot now but the excitement of finally getting to the darned Crimflow overruled the pain. "Hurray for finally arriving!" She shouted punching the air with her fist, making her beads on her braids click around each other. "I bet they're in there, but it is kind of spooky..." Matrea's shouting echoed down the long dark corridor inside the temple and as he laughed Rikku laughed with him. "You're right! Lets go!" So they began to walk towards where Lida and Ryjah were, even though they didn't know that.
Saffey made a pianed face at all the shouting and excitement. This was even more degrading to her. They both acted like Children. She continued to sit and silence and watch them both. Why she was even here any more was a mystery to her. "I'm leaving. I've had enough of this place. So un-dignified to have burnt paws." Saffey muttered shaking her blistered front paws. And with a small light Saffey was gone out of Nowhere.
Rikku turned to see if Matrea was coming and suddenly noticed Saffey was no longer there. "Saffey!" She called out cupping around her mouth with her hands. No reply. "Hmph." Rikku was not impressed. She came all this way to just give up when it started to get better. "Good ridance!" She shouted at where Saffey was once sitting. "Come on Matrea, we'll go on our own, it'll be better just the two of us braving the spooky corridors of the Crimflow Temple!" So again Rikku continued to go further into the Temple.

((*I'm also sorry about the uber late reply... x.x*))
((Crimflow))
Ryjah chuckled, setting his paw in one of the bowls. "Aye... Rikku is here to look for you. Make sure you're alright and all. Matrea is my younger brother... sort of... We were both plopped into Nowhere from our home completely at random. We ran into Rikku shortly after we woke here. We decided to help her find you!" he purred faintly as he lowered his muzzle to the other bowl.
The cool water stung a bit, but it made his paw feel better in the end. He held back his winces and whimpers. Those would come when he was at home with family, and family only. Heh... Smooth Ryjah would never show his pain outwardly in front of a pretty lady.
His ear flicked back to another voice. Someone else they picked up perhaps? Then he remembered that there was another with Rikku before he poofed into Crimflow on his own. He stayed silent though, lapping thankfully at the water then sat up, silently offering some of the water to Lida.
--
Matrea giggled and bounded ahead, giggling wildly and starting to run in circles around Rikku's feet. He stopped whenever she stopped to shout back to Saffey.
"Are you scared?!" Matrea snickered in a near taunting voice. He laughed once more as Rikku started off again, Matrea returning to bound at her feet.
"What do you think we'll find in here?" he half giggled, now excited to be on his feet again and somehow, he didn't seem bothered with the spooky-ness of the environment.

Lida stood thinking while Ryjah talked. Rikku had come to find her and Ryjah and this Matrea had helped her. He hadn't even mentioned Kiyette. She obviously didn't care enough to come looking herself. Despite that Lida still couldn't bring herself to hate her mother. She sighed, not actually wanting to have done out loud and looked over to the bowel of water Ryjah was sitting in front of. "Some for me?" She asked politely a little surprised. She had been sitting on the Temple steps for so long just waiting she had forgotten to drink and suddenly realised just how dry her throat was. Lida sat down on the Temple floor and lifted the bowel up tipping some into her dry mouth. Finishing the water Lida stood back up, "Thank you" she said smiling and turned to the direction of the voices sighing again. "We should really go and meet them. They'll probably end up getting lost if Rikku's there. Can you walk?"
---
Rikku skipped more into the temple and took a deep breath. She shouted as loud as she could. "Helloooo!" Using all that energy to shout after already being tired from flying made her fall backwards from loss of balance. "Owie." Rikku moaned getting herself back up and smiling at Matrea. "Well whatever's in there knows we're here now!"

Matrea giggled and managed to prop himself beneath Rikku to prop her up when she tumbled, allowing her to lean on him and he smiled. "Are you alright?" he purred, flicking his tail a bit to keep his balance.
His eyes shifted down the hall a bit. "Yeah, but who cares? I'm sure the two of us will be ok, no matter what finds us here..." he smiled back at her assuringly.
Ryjah chuckled and bowed a bit. "Aye, m'lady. I walked this far, did I not?" He turned and limped over to walk... er... limp beside her as they went to greet the others. His paw was starting to feel a bit better, but every now and then it would sting him something fierce, making him want to whimper and get pampered, but again, he regained his gentleman nature and save Lida from such a fate.

(( I wont even begin to say how sorry I am for forgetting our roleplay 0.0 I'll use an entire posts with sorrys. ;__________; ))
Rikku fluffed the top of Matrea's head playfully smiling. "Thanks!" She chirped happily. Squinting she noticed two figures further down the hallway. "Somone's there!" Rikku shouted fluttering her wings and pointing at the Dream and the Nightmare getting closer.
Lida sighed but a small smile crept its way to her face as the two continued to walk at a pace Ryjah could handle on his injured paw down the hall to where the shouts were coming from. "Just a bit further okay?" His limping had started to make her worry.

Nowhere: All Lands
BOOM! CRASH! A sudden symphony of loud noises echo to every corner of Nowhere. A wind pick's up with absolutly no warning. Skies that were clear one moment ago have now turned a sickly yellow color as strands of black cloud, looking like whisps of cotton candy in the sky zoom overhead. The wind whistles shrilly, as the clouds begin to converge, swirling round and round, like water to a drain, but there is no pipe for the clouds to dissappear into. So instead they closter, growing darker as wicked pastel flashes of eye searing light play across the sky with no seeming end. No rain falls, but with the great amount of leaves and bramble picked up by the incredibly strong winds, they sky is littered with debree.

"Wow," Irvine leaned backwards against the sudden wind, holding onto his hat with one hand and Kamaria's arm with the other. "Ah think that's our cue ta get outta here, darlin'." he said, leaning in so Kamaria could hear him.
"We'll never make it back to where we came in," she bit her lip and looked around. "There," she pointed to a barely visable set of stairs set into the mountain. "We can stay there until the storm passes."
"Sounds good, darlin'," Irvine ducked his head and ran over to the opening, dodging flying debris, but always making sure the water Deejarne was by his side. "What is this place?" he wondered, upon reaching the relative safety of the stairwell.
"I don't know..." Kamaria mused, walking down the steps as she examined the drawings along the wall. "Hey, there's a door down here!" she called from further inside.
"Whoa. Don't go gettin' too far aheada me, Mari." Irvine scolded playfully, joining the female, who had already made her way into the cavern.
"It's beautiful..." she whispered reverently, looking around in awe.
"Yeah..." Irvine tore his eyes away from Kamaria before she looked his way. "Um. Let's rest here," he suggested, wincing at the echoing sound of the wind. "Looks comfy enough."
"Yeah," Kamaria sat down in the pillow-lined basin and yawned. "As fun as this adventure was, I'm already beat."
"Sleep, then," Irvine said with a soft smile. "Ah'll watch over ya."
"Thanks..." she muttered, already on her way to sleep.
"No problem, luv," he replied, laying down beside her and pulling her into his arms. "No problem..."

"Woah!" Rikku jumped with the sudden sound of crashes. Her fur stood on end as the crashes were made worse by echoeing through the corridors. She nervously looked around. "Is it... A thunder storm?" She had said that she was over thunder storms but deep down they still terrified her. "Lida! Save me!" Rikku flew over to the bright pink Nightmare and flung her arms around her.
Lida was to slow to react as the air Deejare flew with great speed towards her and nearly bowled her over as she clung to her. "It's not a thunder storm Rikku. Don't overreact. Something is going on in Nowhere." Pushing the energetic girl off her, Lida looked down to Ryjah. "I'm going to check it out." She flew down the corridors they had come through and reached the entrance of the grand Crimflow Temple. She was blown away with what she saw. Clouds were swirling high in the air and all the dust and rocks and stones were swirling with the fast winds. Something big was going down. She turned around and Rikku stood next to her hiding a little behind her back as more flashes illuminated the barren land.
"What is it Lida? What's going on?" Rikku said quietly to her neice. She took herself out from behind Lida's back and watched the rocks and stones swirling in the air. "Looks like we're staying in here while it's going on hm?" Rikku smiled, putting on a brave face. "Hey Matrea come and see this!" She spun on the spot and flew over to her friend and Ryjah telling them all about what was happening outside.
Lida continued to stand in the entrance simply waiting for what was going to happen. In some ways she wished she had someone from her true family with her. Kiyette or her father, even though she didn't even know him. Just a name her mother had told her. She shook her head as she was sinking into old habits of thinking and leant against one of the pillars holding the structure up, careful not to touch the rivers of lava flowing down the sides of them, interested in what was to happen next.

"Whoa..." Lloyd muttered as he looked out of one of the huge, elegant windows of the Water Temple. Everything seemed to have changed all of a sudden; When they first arrived, the sky was clear and blue, and now...
"Kratos!" He called out, still staring up at the sky and how the trees swayed dangerously to the high winds. "Kratos, come look! Something tells me we should stay in here for a while..."
Lloyd didn't mind at all, oh no. The atmosphere of the temple was very peaceful compared to the chaos happening outside, and... he rather enjoyed being here with his four newborn children. Speaking of which, all of them floated about near him, though one seemed to look... different from the others. He tossed them a soft smile, and then waited for Kratos to come see what was happening.

Kratos glanced outside the window and frowned. He was quite certain that it should not look like that. And with Lloyd so close to the window...
"Lloyd," he called in a commanding tone, "come back here. It's too dangerous."
And the children, too! They seemed to like Lloyd, and, while he was certain that Lloyd himself would be strong enough to survive even if something did happen, he wasn't so sure about them.
