Welcome to Gaia! ::

The raven had circled for some time before gathering enough information, as it began turning back towards the forest it grew once more. A dark man with ebony wings, was heading towards the forest, and as he did he dropped dozens of small seeds, each with trace amounts of magic that seemed to evaporate as they landed on the ground. The dark man made his way quickly over the forest heading to the next target without another glance at the citadel. It seemed to him that Mastema and his allies would have other matters to keep them occupied for a bit.

::Tyrsais would get up from his chair exposing the hilt of his sword slightly as he moved around but soon his cape would drape back around it covering it again. For a host he was certainly taking precautions. He would come up to Yuri moving his hand to the boy's jaw grabbing it lightly moving him around inspecting his face and mouth for some reason before releasing him a few moments later. He would only nod slightly as if approving of something::

Good you are a fast learner... All things you must learn from now on about your current form are instinct. You must let your body show you how to use them however only your mind can perfect your abilities.

*The Citadel had long since been vacated by human activity, if Mugiri wanted food, he would only be able to find canned food, and dried goods. Anything fresh had likely now been long composted. There were pleanty of venues and old resturants, corner and general stores... Again, anything fresh would be long gone, and the rest likely covered in a blanket of dust. The most likely things to survive would be candy, since sugar is one thing that doesn't really rot, though ironically it can rot people, rather their teeth. Dry soup mixes might be available, aswell as instant noodles. This was more or less all Mugiri could look forward to dining on in the buildings. Strange though... even though Mugiri was unaware, there was fresh produce and food in the cafeteria within the central tower. A place he was not allowed to enter, yet that could be accessed by everyone if only they knew just who to ask... To supply the central tower with fresh produce, meats, breads, vegetables... there was obviously a source, but just where things were being grown and farmed was uncertain*

Yuri listened to Tyrsais silently as he "spoke" to him, allowing his new master to inspect him as he sat there. Once Tyrsais finished speaking, Yuri would nod to him and respond through their link once more. Sir, there is so much to this new body which I still do not understand. I feel much stronger and more focused now than I ever remember feeling. And there is a subtle but very present ache in my upper back, near my shoulder blades.... He paused for a moment as he considered how he felt altogether before continuing further. Also, I have a feeling as though I am connected to some strange power from before, which I couldn't access until I met you. But it seems that I can reach it now, if only faintly. Do you know anything of this, or of my past in general? It appeared that Yuri was hoping that as Tyrsais' past had opened up to him, that his own past might have opened up to Tyrsais in some way...

*If anyone were to look in the cafeteria now, they would find Eecheb half wedged in the clear faced fridge. He was grabbing for something but couldn't quite seem to reach it. What ever it was, the boy was certainly trying his hardest to get it. His wings would twitch in annoyance, unable to reach for the item he was after. Only when he backed up to stand did he have an epiphany. His tail was curled around the handle of the fridge door. It had served him well in the past, perhaps it would do the same now? Releasing the door with his tail and changing it for a sturdy arm, Eecheb would look back over his shoulder, and back up to the fridge allowing his tail to seek out the item he desired. A small shiver went up his back, the fridge was rather cold, and his tail had touched the metal tray for the level above the item he was trying to get*

Eecheb: .___.,

*Another moment or two and he had it.... he hoped. Retrieving his tail, Eecheb took the item which was held. It looked like another carton of some type, but it wasn't chocolate milk. Looking at it momentarily Eecheb shook the carton, it sounded the same so that was all right with him. Pleased with his prize from the fridge, Eecheb would start out of the cafeteria again, and headed upwards. For any who caught sight of the boy, the carton he help read the words "Crème", the french word for cream*

::Tyrsais was happy that so much of the heritage had come down to this young one. He seemed to have a sort of intuition that would be required to become a true hunter. Another strong point for him in Tyr's book was the respect, that was priceless. He would chuckle for a moment before responding amazed with the first few lines of questions::

You don't waste much time on small talk do you? You are inside the Citadel the massive technological fortress of Lord Mastema, the fallen. The rules you ask? Well first of all the eastern section of the Citadel is open to you immediately, however the towers and western section are not. The north and south towers are home to the generals of this base Sho and Slayer. The Center tower is home to our lord and his family. The western section belongs to the Lady of this fortress. You are not to harm anyone within this Citadel that is a resident... The children, Lady Nana, Lord Mastema, Lord Sho, Lord Slayer, The Robots. Simple enough I think stay in the eastern section and don't pester anyone unless you have a good reason.

::He chuckled at the series of questions. He would draw his shirt back exposing his arm and would pull a knife from his cloak looking up at Yuri now staring into his eyes as if waiting to see his expression::

Ohh the price you must pay? Beside being a creature of the darkness almost entirely? Ohh its a simple toll really... you must be willing to kill to take anothers life from them. Blood is your sustenance boy.

::He would crack a grin letting his fangs extend out over his lips with the sinister flash of red flickering through his eyes. He would cut into his arm just barely, letting the blood drip down his arm before licking it up. Looking back with a slightly amused look upon his face::
