Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seska watched Valkon closely, her eyes annoyed. Folding her arms, she stared as he continued to smirk at her. She wanted to wipe that expression right off his face. The only problem was she needed he and Chronos to do some things for her and her sister. And the yokai knew it.

"I need you and Chronos to do something for me," she finally stated still watching him.

Valkon laughed, his lips curling upwards. He folded his arms across his chest and replied, "What makes you think we care to help you, Seska?"

"You are more likely to do the opposite, but this is not just for our benefit. It's for everyone's. Living and dead. Besides you don't really think that you are on the same level as Juska and I, do you? Even with your new-found power?"

"Really? Shall we test and see? Besides, if that were the case, why are you here? You would not need us," he stated with an air of confidence and arrogance.

A growl slipped free of her lips before she could stop it. "Are you going to listen? Or do I need to go to Chronos himself?"

The shifter laughed. "I suppose I should. Chronos isn't likely to give you more than I have. But it will be a good laugh for us later." He was having a great deal of fun taunting the goddess, but how far should he push it?

Her eyes narrowed. If looks could kill, hers would have in that instant. "You are an..." she began.

"And I had you pegged for a lady. Just shows how wrong someone can be." he interrupted smoothly and in even more amusement.

Seska snapped. "Just shut up and listen." Instead of letting him taunt her further, she explained what she and Juska had decided to do.

Surprised, Valkon was silent for several long moments. A frown appeared on his face. He had no love for the living, but had it really come down to this? "You do realize what this will mean for both the living and the dead?"

"Yes. I would not be here if it was not necessary. It is not merely my choice in the matter, but also that of my sister. She agrees and it is one of the only ways to rebalance things again. They must learn."

"And the three not to be affected?"

"Anyone finding them remain safe, Valkon. But they have to figure it out. They all need to be stronger and work together." she replied.

"I don't know. I will guarantee nothing though I could have some fun with it. I need to speak to Chronos. It will be a good laugh if nothing else." he smirked, all nine tails twitching in amusement. The next moment he was winging across the woods. This might be serious, but he would have his fun anyhow.

"Jerk." Seska said, stomping her foot on the ground. "I was not finished yet." Perhaps she should go to Chronos instead.

"I came to see this place. To see how many came here. Do you know what this place is? It is Lux Lucis Atrum Luna Aedes, the temple of the goddesses- Juska and Seska. But the living have abandoned them for a false religion." He stared in the direction of the false church where it sat amongst the residences.

Touma's voice was clear and filled with a certainty that said he knew of what he spoke.
"No good will come of it and punishment will come swifter than many think. Perhaps for both living and dead."

He watched her begin to walk down the stairs, but then called out, "Just a moment." When she turned to stare back at him, Touma said, "Be careful. Remember three things. The park, the clocktower, and the old temple of the goddesses. You will always find safety there."
