Welcome to Gaia! ::

((whatever happened to armageddon starting the next chapter? crying ))

The shadowy forms of one anothers factions became focused, its grim green tint, casted dancing shadows along the walls of each meeting hall. the continuing hum of the holoprojectors seemed to fluxuate in sound and vibration, some felt relaxed with this at times. Now it was an irritable nuisance that annoyed several of the beings peering into its images.

Malice stood first, with Arcadius not attending he was considered eldest, and most powerful. Cain, despised both, but knew his place, and dared not test it. "Apparently, you Jedi, have began using guerrilla tactics to defend yourselves. A common military tactic used when backed in to a corner. Backstabbing a exploration convoy, is something i would expect from a Dark sider. We are more than welcome to recruit any and all with revenge or hatred in their hearts." Malice ended, smiling to himself. He knew the truth of the incident, but took pleasure in prodding and poking at the Jedi and thier current state.

It was Grace that took the stand beating Kale to their defense. "Malice, you are foolish. Such power could not be demonstrated by our force nor yours for that matter, you know this yet you still throw around your allegations. Then again such ignorance and imaturity is expected from a Dark sider." Grace spoke mimicking Malices words. Grace had always had a sharp tongue in debates and disputes. Constantly bringing the Order to see her point of view in the matter.

"Now, now. Grace, we are not here to argue my dear, such conversation are useless and wasteful for such a beauty as your self." Feare began speaking. his relationship with Grace prior to his turning was a close and personal one. "We all know the force that attacked our armies was not from one another. The real discussion should be directed towards who attacked our armies and why?" Feare added, attempting to begin again, he was interupted as the Jedi meeting hall slammed open, Arcadius stood silhoutted in the basking light of Yavin. "The power in which we are bestowed with, is against us."

(Barak Wudorin)

Never before had Barak been so close to showing exactly how apprehensive he felt inside. He fought to keep his cool, exuding his usual casual, slightly arrogant veneer. The tension was so palpable he swore he could cut it with a knife, and that combined with the smell of recycled air was giving him a headache. Not yet sure if he even had a side in this war, he took a seat between the two sides and observed as the one called Malice threw accusations and Grace threw them back in his face.

Exactly why I prefer to keep out of things like this... It's all too black and white for my tastes...

His hand reflexively reached into his sleeve for his verpine blaster when a man burst into the hall and declared that their own power was against them. Slowly relaxing enough to slip his hand back out of his sleeve before someone could notice, he looked around shiftily, a nervous habit, and studied the man with one eyebrow cocked.

What is he talking about?

...Well I picked a wonderful time to join the fight, didn't I?

(Malice does not claim a Darth title, only Exodus, and Spire are of the Sith Teachings. They will be joining the story very soon, though many do not know of thier existence)

The shock of the arrival of Arcadius was mixed, some felt relieved to see him, others anxious for news, the rest disappointed he was still breathing. Arcadius felt these emotions hit him like a tidal wave, looking among them and through the hologram he realized this collection of people was it. A last hope to a dying generation of porotectors, and possibly a last hope for the galaxy. Looking over to Kale, Arcadius saw the nervousness of one that had lost a child and hungered for news of thier loved one. Arcadius nodded to him "Des is.... He is in the Bacta tanks, recupperating. His body has expierenced extreme trauma, go tend to him I will fill you in accordingly." Kale launched from his seat almost forgetting his apprentice. "Keto please remain here, I will return shortly" Kale spoke quickly, passing Arcadius he patted him thankfully on the shoulder and exited the room.

"One from each side has survived, a sign perhaps?" Malice broke through the reunion bringing the main discussion back to the table. Arcadius frowned at this notion, "If anyone from your side survived it was mere luck. Des was kept alive, I found him in a protective shield of energy, a feat he could not accomplish himself." Arcadius finished with his insightful opinion. "For what purpose? Yet again you Jedi feel you are above all and powerful, you forget your position in this war!" Malice sneered with anger. "He was kept alive to deliver a warning of coming times. Scarred upon his chest is a message, I have yet to decipher it's meaning" Arcadius ended walking up to the comlink and punching in a few commands, with harmonius beeps the message was dispalyed upon the hologram for all to see.

"5 Created to destroy the gifted, Five Destroyed from alliances shifted. Form the ashes of death brings forth the end, to birthed the one the force has sent"

The Message burned into the minds of those present, a prediction of times to come, or a future already determined. "Are we certain of this? How could the Force create such a thing to destroy what it has gifted?" Cain had now stood furious with the events that has followed is envisionment of the future he had planned, had now come to a halting screech. "Cain, the Force is living is it not? As padawans did we not not learn all living things no matter how minute or unintelligent has a concious. What if the Force's Conciousness awoke, perhaps a disturbing premonition was discovered." Feare spoke up looking at his old friend, someone he considered family, once long ago. "What discovery could persuade the Force to destroy us?" Cain asked.

(You guys can join in on the conversations if you wish, This chapter though one of the more defining and important chapters, is one of the more boring and shorter chapters. Thus I am trying to speed it up to the more exciting parts I know you are all waiting for!)
((Also you can attempt to decode the message it contains several clues and riddles to reveal some later occurences and plots. Euler you should have an advamtage over the others as you have already have done one of these. Please Pm me any guesses or deciphering you have uncovered.))

(( Euler has solved the "Armageddon" Riddle congratulations!! EUler im sorry! in my previous guild i had a rper that rped similiar to you almost identical, with the name changing allowed i assumed you were the other person my mistake! but still great job!!))

((Earth? you mean Yavin, we get it...wait, we're on Yavin(IV), right?))

(Keto Eros)

Keto looked up to Arcadius, "Master, there is no luck. there is no chance. I have been told many times, it is a simple lesson. Whoever survived, from either side, they were meant to." Keto stood up, thinking hard, "We must have faith in the Force."

[And no one cared to PM lil ol' me...thanks guys... xp ]

Gene sat there as he listened and watch as the opposing sides and his bickered and discussed of what had happened. Gene had wanted to speak up, but was afraid that it would probably be not his place, so he remained silent. However, making up for his lack of spoken word, he continued to watch and listen. Then, when the message came up in the holo-projector, he delved into his own mind to try and decipher what it meant. Five created to destroy the gifted, five destroyed from alliances shifted...What could that mean?" He thought to himself as he gazed at his boots. Usually, he pays attention to other things while thinking so that he may be able to concentrate on that subject, this time being his boots. "Perhaps these are people with the Force but not from any side? Hmm...it would make sense with that part of "alliances shifted"...."

After that, Gene turned to his master and quietly asked, "Is there an impending danger we do not know about?"

(Keto Eros)

Keto watched his master leave, thinking, What window? he looked back to the holo projection, shuffling his robes tighter about him.

(Sorry, it's short, but I think i got the riddle...kind...)
