Welcome to Gaia! ::

He gave a little chuckle and shook his head. "Trust me Takara. I can handle you easily." He said with a laugh. "I am not a 4 foot tall little boy anymore." He said with a grin as he leaned down, his shoulders still popped out of place and hands pointed at her. "I would definately not let you ride that horse any longer anyways." He said, looking to her. "You could kill it."

Damian laughed at the way she had positioned herself. "Trust me....the speeds I am going,you might want something a little asyerto grip then my shoulders." He said with a laugh as he shook his hands. "Grab my wrists, it is alot easyer. He said with a nod as he stood there, bent over soshe could posion herself, she would only need to pull on the arms and it would keep his feet pressed to his back and his hands secure on the wrists. She would be fine, after she had switched over he bolted off in a flash.

(sorry....I have to go, but you can go ahead and post how we arive in the city)

After several hours of riding in the back of the wagon, Takara continued to look around the area and sighed deeply when she thought about the war and all their lives. Thinking about her life and what to do, for she knew that it was hopeless to continue on hoping that Kouchi would return since it's been several weeks now since she had heard from him. "Guess, I'll just stay around here and help Runa out for she's going to be needing it as well." she thought to herself. How much she wish things were back the way they were the first time she met Runa, they both had great plans of training together and then moving on ahead of their lives together, falling in love, marrying, and then one day having kids. Now it seems that all is lost and the only thing they have now is each other, and their training.

Finally arriving to the shrine the blacksmith turned around after he stopped the horses, "Well there you go ma'am, I hope you find what you were looking for." he commented and then waited for them both to get out of the wagon.

Takara quickly jumped down to give parth a hand since he was still not doing the greatest and then walked to the front of the wagon and handed the blacksmith some gold that she had left, "Here you go sir, thank you for taking your time to bring us out here. I truely appreciate your kindness and help." she said as she bow to show respect to him.

He took the gold and bowed his head towards her, and without saying a word took the reigns and was off. Heading back to the city where he belong.

She stood there watching as he drove off, and then looked back at parth, "Well lets get going, hopefully Damian has made it back here as well and that Runa is okay." she softly said and walked through the gates of the shrine.

As she walked through the gates and headed down the path to the lake, she thought she heard Runa. Without delay she left parth behind and ran to the lake, "Runa, I'm back...I'm so sorry I left you here, I hope you aren't extremely mad at me for leaving like that." she said as she saw her sitting against the willow tree near the lake.

Takara looked at her and could see she was so worn out, the swim and climb through the tunnels must of worn her out but she was thankful that Runa was safe and sound. She sat down beside her and held her hand to give her comfort and assurance that she wasn't going to leave her again that she would bring her next time no matter what, for in her mind Runa was all she really had now as a family. "Runa are you ready to go or do you want to stay here still?" she asked softly.
