Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Well, he might be fightened, but he did attack us with the only reasoning behind it being to get more power. I'm not exactly sure if I want to let him go without.. atoning, shall we say. Although... even if there was something remaining for his scent... I can't track like a dog can. It just helps me recognize people." I interject, placing my hands on my hips.

As Maxwell finally approached the man, he then looked at him, saying "Tell us where you remember seeing the man who gave you the Orange ring. What were the surroundings? What land was it? Whatmost notable markings did they have?" Maxwell said, in a demanding and forceful voice. He did not care what he feared, at all. He knew that he could easily do with the knowledge he had, strip him down and bring him into a bigger understanding of fear...

Moriah:
Silla just nods grimly, understanding your point.

Manra:
Hmm... Rai'o murmurs. Perhaps. Place the Ring's face on his forehead. Let me see what I can do.

Maxwell:
"I don't remember exactly..." the man whimpers. "It was somewhere near Puderus."
You know that Puderus is a town near the northeast border of the No Man's Land, the home of the Darkness Legion.

Kirino:
But of course, Jima'ei says. We all did. Without Lasai'ei, we could not have ended the Night Eternal.

"Cheh, this has gone completely down hill, and I was hoping not to have to go back there again." Maxwell said to himself pissed off as hewithdrew a dagger and threw it at the ground, at the man's hand. "Grab that dagger, and inscribe into yourself the understanding of idioticy and stupidity. Know that if someone is willing to give you mass power in Puderus, or anywhere else in the No Man's Land, you should know that they either know a fool's-proof plan to get it back, or have given you a dud! So grab the dagger, and give me a finger for your stupidity. Or would you like for me to do it?"

I stare unimpressed at Silla. "Fine."

Manra nods slightly, "It couldn't have been helped, I suppose..." She then forms a small smile, "I'm ready. Let's find out what... we can that can help us out later... on, ...shall we?"

Manra nods, "They're memories....events that have already happened...one cannot change what has happened, but....knowing the past, one has the chance...to better the future."

Manra:
Finally, the terrain appears: you're in what appears to be a mountain pass. The man uses his walking stick to steady himself as he travels through the pass. He passes between you and Rai'o. When you turn around to keep him in sight, you see a being cloaked in a strange mist.
"Must be our malignant benefactor..." Rai'o mutters.
And, as if on cue, the "benefactor" speaks.
"Who are you?" the man asks.
"I am a being with great power," the benefactor says. "I can offer you a piece of this power, on one condition..."
"What is it?"
"You must capture the Original Rings. I care not about their wielders, but I want the Rings. Give me those, and this power can be yours."
"But if I am to take the Original Rings, won't I need some power?"
"Very insightful. Here."
The Orange Ring that you saw get blown up earlier comes slowly flying out of the strange mist. The man accepts it.
"What is your name?"
"Hishia'rinu."
"Well, Hishia'rinu, I will have your Rings to you soon enough. But I want more than just power..."
"What else?"
"I want to possess a large piece of land!"
"...Done."
Rai'o puts his hand on your shoulder.
"We're done here," he says.
The area, the man, and the benefactor all vanish into the void. Soon, you return to reality. The violet energy leaves the man's eyes as yours clear up. The Ring lets go of his forehead as the energy barrier dissipates.

Atlanta:
Now! Fi'hai cries in your head as the energy barrier visibly dissipates.
