Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kyou was back in the moastary. He wasn't exactly happy about it but right now he just wanted to be away from anything concerning doctors, elves, surgical instruments and the entire world in general. Upon returning he was reminded of why he had left in the first place. The isolated building held it's own brand of cold comfort in a twisted way and the routine of mindless labour and deathly silence distracted him to a certain extent. But that was all it was, a distraction, an escape from reality. He wasn't really dealing with any of his problems right now just pretending that they weren't there, therefore any kind of life he had managed to rake together surely wouldn't last long.
As he sat in the courtyard of the Abbey, the evening light paling as it slowly ebbed away from the land, he did his best to decide upon a good time to leave. He would have to return to the Aboveworld eventually, he was still under contract but seeing as he had never taken a holiday during his time at the clinic he had used all of his vacation and sick leave to get away. He just wasn't sure if he could face Hyde again. After what had happened and the stupid things he had done, he was reluctant to see the elder elf.
Then there was his father, well that was out of the question. The man had all but disowned him and they hadn't spoken since he came of age. Maybe he should just stay where he was...

Kyou froze, his head snapping around in the direction of the noise. There had been a distinct rustling noise quite nearby. Although there were some slightly unhealthy box-plants in the sparse courtyard there was no wind to move them. Behind the manicured bushes lay the Sealed Arch. Every archway that surrounded him led to a large semi-open hallway which led to the chapel, the living quarters, the hospital and the gardens depending on which direction you went. But the Sealed Arch was bricked from all sides, blocking a portion of the hallway. As a child he had asked the monks about why it was sealed up like that but he had been swiftly sent away with extra cleaning duties and no explanation. Maybe it was one of the Order's many secrets. He had heard that the crypt held some of the rarest artifacts in the Underground, but that place was also securely locked. He ventured a step closer to the mysterious wall. Upon closer inpection it seemed to hold quite a large space. Like a cell, perhaps.
There was another rustling noise and Kyou was reminded of a time when he was a child and a pidgeon had made a nest in the chimney above his room. There was definitely something in there. Maybe a bird had managed to get stuck in there. After all there was a rather big hole in the brickwork.

Kyou carefully approached the hole in the wall. If there was indeed some sort of creature in there then he would most ikely startle it with his presence. He could only wonder what it was and how it got there.
Curiosity took over and the young fae stood on tiptoe to peer through the gap, to finally see what was behind the Sealed Arch.
As his eyes got used to the darkness he noticed that the space inside was really a lot smaller than he had thought. Barely big enough for a person to stand up in. A small grey shape drifted in front of him, a feather maybe? So there was a bird in here. But behind the falling feathers and fleck of dust loomed another shape. One that was most definitely human, although it seemed a lot larger than he was, perhaps because it was in such a cramped space. The entire figure looked grey in the stuffy darkness, and did not move. As more shapes began to appear in the darkness Kyou could clearly make out the large, curve of a grey wing.
"It must be a statue." Kyou though to himself. The figure had still not moved. Plus if it was if there had been a living creature in there for all this time the cell would stink to high heaven by now, whether it was dead or alive.

Kyou's eyes widened as the creature behind the arch, whatever it was, moved. He suddenly found himself face to face with it, he could now see that it was male, yes definitely a man...with wings. He wondered briefly where he had come from and why he was stuck in there. He could have been a pegasus, but there was no sign of the ears and tail that were generally a prominant feature of that race. The only other creature with wings like that was...
The man made a strange choking noise, probably from the insane amounts of dust inside the cell he was trapped in.
Had he said hello to him? That seemed a rather strange responce for a prisoner. If Kyou had been locked in such a small space he would have screamed and clawed hopelessly at the walls.
"Hello?" he replied, there wasn't really anything else he could say at that point. "Who are you?" he asked warily.

Kyou was rather shocked at being addressed in such a way. How had this being, Sereph, known his name? Could he see into his mind?
"Have we met before?" said Kyou looking frightened and confused. His hands rested on the cold stones of the wall. The mortar was old and poorly made, maybe if he found some tools he would be able to make the hole big enough for him to escape. But then again did he want that creature to escape. Maybe he had been sealed away for a reason. He could be incredibly dangerous. "How did you get in here?"

Kyou frowned, his finger unconsiously pulling at the weaker bricks, easing them out of place and letting more sunlight. Sereph had a halo, how could he not have noticed it before. He was an angel.
Kyou had never seen one before but he had seen paintings in the chapel.
"I can just leave you here." he said quietly as he worked "That wouldn't be right."
After all his was his unwillingness to do anything that had caused the majority of his problems in the first place. And besides it was better the he discovered the angel than the monks, who knew what those old geezers would to him. Kyou had a sneaking suspicion that the monks were responsible for sealing him away in the first place.
Since he had just finished his garden duties the seelie decided that his bare hands were really making that much progress in knocking the wall down because quite frankly he was a bit of a weakling.
Grabbing a garden pitchfork which up till now had been abandoned on the other side of the courtyard when he first heard the noise, Kyou somehow managed to lever the metal tool behind the bricks and pry them out making the hole large enough to crawl through.

Kyou a small smile spread across his face for the first time in weeks. Truthfully the angel's initial reluctance to leave his hiding place reminded him of his own situation. He had been hiding too, from his own feelings and from the people who were supposed to care for him.
"There's no need to thank me. You didn't deserve to be stuck in there forever." he said with absolute certainty. An angel couldn't do anything wrong could they?
"Is there anything you need. I don't mean to brag but I'm training to be a healer, can I help you?"
