This is a huge, once hidden garden. It is inside an ancient dome building, and plants of every kind have been known to grow here. It's a place of peace, sadness, and wonder. The old building was forgoten like most of the others in this side of town, and is far bigger than most would think. The buildings around it are little more than rubble; having been left alone for such a long time. There are trees and flowers, little ponds and all kinds of animals hideing in this place. There are wonderious fountains, life sized statues carved out of all colors of jade and marble, and roses growing up the walls in all colors to the cealing, where a few holes let in moon light, which illuminates the entire garden at night.

Zai was within the garden. Under the wooden and stone floor, she sat in a little room lit dimly by a single lightbulb hanging low from the cracked cement cealing. Gathing what she would need in her pockets, she was wearing really baggy black pants with several pockets, her usual mask, and a black tube top with neon spiked cuffs and a choker. Her nails were painted with poison nail polish. Emerging from a secret enterence, her skin was pale as death, and her appearence had not changed at all. Looking up at the beams of light entering through the holes in the dome cealing above, she walked through the over-grown flowers twords a dug out hole under the wall and made her way out, covering it up again after she reached the outside. Her mind was clear and calm, although, what she was about to do was going to be big. Breaking out a cannibleistic killer from a psycho ward, and killing anyone who got in the way in the process. So she left, on her way to the very place she had always managed to avoid: the Asylum.

Zai returned, covered in dirt and dust with several cuts and scratches on her arms, and a small cut on her head which covered part of her face with blood. Within moments of returning, it healed on it's own. She swallowed several pills to help stabalize her system, and then got back up to the garden above. Laying down on the ground, she started to feel all her cuts heal and her energy return. She hadn't taken her "medications" for several days, since they took so long to prepare, and so now she just layed there... waiting for the two, or one, to show up.

Edward came wondering into the garden looking for Zai. "Zai, where are you?" Edward hadn't been back to the garden since the day he first ventured into Haven 200 years ago, and wasn't sure where she might be.

Salazar followed the man he had come to know as Edward into the gardens. He looked at his make-shift claws. They we're made of bits and pieces of metal from his cell. He would need something a bit more deadly now that he was free. "Where is she?"

She sighed and got up, wiping the blood off her face with a rag in her pocket. Zai yelled, "Right, fifteen meters."

Edward turned and followed her directions. "Ok there you are. Thanks for getting us out."

She smilied sheepishly and a bit nervous, but it was hidden by her mask. Zai then closed her eyes and sat down on the ground, crossing her legs and holding her head with her hands, elbows on her knees. More than just a bit distressed.

Salazar followed Edward over to where she was and sat on the ground with her. "Thank you lady, but I do have to ask. Why did you break us out?"

Edward sat across from her. "What has happened the last 150 years?" he asked exactly the same time Salazar spoke.

She looked at both of them, and said said, "Some guy hired me, didn't give any info, just..." Zai scratched the back of her head, "Can't say." Then, answering Edward's question, responded, "Not much. Done some stuff.... but now I understand why humans don't live long, it's a saving grace, not a curse." Speaking in full sentences, it showed she was a bit exhausted and serious, and showing respect... something she had never really done.

"Have you heard anything about any of the others? Any of my family?" Edward sounded more anxious than anything at this point. "And what did you mean earlier by a doppelganger? Are there others impersonating me?"

She shook her head. "Sorry. And what I ment was... well, after over 200 years, you see alot of people looking alike. You should know, it can even be almost cruel at times." Zai strummed her nails against her cheeks for just a split second.

"Yeah... I do know what that is like." He looked around. "Is there anybody left at all besides you and I?"

Zai thought for a moment, then glanced back up at him through the hair covering her face. "I'm... not sure. Rumors say Avarice and Kirai of the Black Cross were murdered some hundred or so years ago. Banshi vanished shortly after you did from the RCS.... I can look into it more, the best place to check might be the graveyard, or the places where your friends use to live. If they are still alive, you'll know. If not, you'll find out."
