Welcome to Gaia! ::

Io nodded, putting her weapons back into place and looking at them. "The only question is do we go now, or do we go later? We can get others if you think we need their help."

Once again she let them decide. She had her memories but they didn't make much difference. She had her power, but her revenge... looked as though it would never happen. What was left? All she could do was try to guide them to their own pasts.

Whether those pasts made a difference or not.

He awoke suddenly and twitched violently. The salve on his arm was still there, he must have only been out an hour or so judging by the light of day. He pushed himself up. He swooned and clutched a tree. He had lost a lot of blood. He reached down and grasped his blade and used it as a crutch and began hobbling in some unknown direction. He stumbled through the bushes. He walked for what seemed like hours stumbling many times. Then he could have sworn he heard something, or felt something. Some one was near. Looking up he saw a figure walking through the woods. It looked like a human. But no.. His vision was clouded. He couldn?t be sure. He had a mask on? Yes he did. It was an orange, with green stalks or some such thing coming out to the top by the sides of his head. His hair was blond a he couldn?t make out much else. He stood there leaning on his blade not currently able to find the strength to take another step.

((has to go home. Bleh. *luffles*))

*I want them dead.* she answered. *all of them.* she sighed *But not at the cost of ourselves. We will have to take what we can then, and slip in as thieves.*

"I do not promise that all memories will be found." Io said, sounding strangely formal. "I can't say that you'll walk into the building and say 'Oh! I remember that! And that!' But I'll--" She started to say Take you, but stopped. "I'll go with you. But now is their hunting time."

She turned, looking pointedly at the sun. "We should go in the morning. When they're asleep. Besides, I need to... I need to tell Ice." She shoved her hair out of her face, looking at him for a second, then looking at their joined hands. "I'm happy for you." She said plainly before turning and heading for the camp.

She had gotten them worked up. She knew it even better then they might. But they needed to sleep on this decision. It was too quick just to race off to their deaths.

((And 11:30 here while watching cooking shows... I think my brain is slowly rotting. You guys can go in if you want, I'll bb tomorrow^^))

*She did not seem at all suprised by our answers.* Shiva said, suddenly cautious for a reason she could not explain. *And her answers about Sei are troubling. How could she be unconcerned? Alive and happy? What does she mean?*

She needed time to think, to ruminate over this. It was all well and good to make decisions on your feet...but only as you had to.

Turning slightly blush at Io's remark, she looked at Nika. *What do you think? Should we ask the others? Or just us?*

Nika shrugged, 'Sei is probably fine. He grew up on his own... Besides, I think Io knows where he is. If he was in trouble she would be worried.'

'It would probably be safer, for us, if we didn't go alone. Perhaps, we should ask some of the gaurdians.'

Slowly, he sat on the ground and sprawled his legs out in front of him. He probably should have snagged some sleep before deciding to run off to the ruins alone.

What had he been thinking?

'I...' he paused and ran a hand through his hair, 'I'm not sure what I was thinking. I'm sorry, Shi. I wasn't thinking clearly.'

There was something missing. There was a big hole in his memories and he wanted to remember so badly.

But that was no reason to put himself in danger. No reason at all.
