Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nyru nodded to Adi's surprise, it was that early that he had contacted them. In fact it was his powers that led them to win that first battle against Darris' second in command. He swallowed as he agreed with what she had to say, he just wan't sure how to reply to her. As she went on to explain when she had met the Prince, he cheaply exhaled with a smirk and commented "how sly of him" before listening again. "Funny..." he then said " he spoke to me at th exact same moment...". As for him helping us as well as Darris' men, Nyru wasn't sure how to feel about it either. The man truly was an enigma, and personally, he thought he was dangerous as well as helpful, he was like the aspect of chaos. "To be honest" he said " It wouldn't bother me if he never found us again..."

Then as he looked up down the hallway where he and Adi approached the Royal Guard's Chambers, a somewhat lighter section of the palace were the candles were surrounded in glowing white crystals and the kitchen was modern, with luxurious black leather sofas and a fireplace for the winter. He saw Claudia standing in the light from a nearby window, it was true, he then realised, that the sun was shining today like never before in the Land of Crows. He had better enjoy it as its rare for this land.

Stopping for a moment he was almost dazed by the sudden appearence of Claudia, then looking over what she was wearing he realised she must have been back already. "Claudia" he said, then continuing to walk with Adi by his side, once inside she could make herself comfortable and the three of them could rest until the day they went to Southmarch in the coming days - if they heal okay.

"Where have you been? Are you okay? How long have you been back?" he asked without breathing.

Nyru quickened his pace when he saw the stone hearted woman in the light of day. The sun stung her ashy cheeks but she didn't twitch or complain in the least bit. The ivory skinned shadowmancer bombarded her with questions, however, Adi stepped into her defense knowing the exhaustion she felt. Claudia swooped herself under the gypsy's lopsided frame and supported her the rest of the way. Nyru and her gently deported the girl unto a tanish sofa while she limped to an empty chair. The blonde planted herself in the cushioned refinement and crossed her arms over her lap wondering where to start. The eyes scanned the rooms equipment, furniture, and decor feeling right at home again. The lamps were embezzled with tiny rhinestones, and the carpet was whiter than the first snow fall of winter. The furniture smelled brand new when in reality it had been there for a few years now. The queen refused to deprive her royal soldiers of goods when they performed an extensional amount of service each day. After taking in the quarters delicacies for the millionth time, she turned to Nyru and Adi.

"To reiterate your questions from before, I haven't been back for that long. I asked Isabelle to keep my arrival classified because I couldn't face you two until I sorted my own problems. My body will heal if I let it, but my heart is another matter entirely. When I left, I went to go find Vincent. You know the guy that I have been fond of lately...or was I mean." Her head lowered as she held back tears. "H-he was in a near by alleyway obscuring himself from Declasia...because he wanted to ascend the throne. He's the one who put this giant hole in my side. Greed does horrible things to its host." The woman gave herself a second to breath coming to the climax of her expedition. "Vincent offered me to join him as his queen and I did think of the scenario but the result wouldn't be fulfilled. He criticized me and then finally kissed me to show me how much I still envied him. At that moment...my symbol glowed...and...and I..I killed him. Out of rage, confusion, and fear that the cycle may repeat itself."

Claudia covered her mouth at her sickening morals and began crying letting her began shadow her eyes. She waited for them to call her a disgusting wench or tell her that they never wanted to see her face again.
