Welcome to Gaia! ::

Night had fallen across the dessert nation of Hokkan, and most of the residents of the Imperial Palace had retired for the evening. Deep inside the Sergalio a few where still awake, one not of his own desire. Hatsui sat in a chair infront of a table sprawled with assorted star maps. Something was bother the frail man, he couldn't seem to sleep. He carefully pushed back his chair and rose. He walked carefully across the cool tiled floor to the door way and pushed open the screen. A warm breeze caressed his pale skin as he stepped out onto the walkway. He looked about, and heard giggling from a few rooms away, some of the girls must be talking. Some people believed he lived in the Sergalio to keep him out of the way, for some didn't believe in his powers even though he had proved his ability of foresight many times before. He believed he lived here because it suited him, he was a tool to his prince, must like the concubines where to the Emporer, he was called when he was needed, and this life suited him fine, he adored his prince and would do anything to make him happy. He looked to the sky and soon found the constellation he desired, Genbu, he studied them for a while before turning to return to his room. He approached a small table and poured some water from a basin into a glass. As he lifted it to his lips, he felt it, but it was too late. The cup fell to the ground with a crash, Hatsui's body following.

A concubine had just stepped out of her room a few doors down when she heard the crash and proceeded thump. She walked down to Hatsui's room, the door still slid open and gasped when she saw him lying there on the floor, of course she had heard of the sickly mans ability, but seeing it was different. His green eyes where rolled back and his eyelids fluttering rapidly, his mouth was open and twitching as if he were trying to speak and his whole body was twitching on the floor. The concubine became even more alarmed when she saw blood begin to stain the deep green robe he wore, he had handed on the broke cup. She backed up and yelled "Someone please help! Lord Hatsui is hurt!" A guard hearing the concubines yell came around the corner quickly, and a few other concubines who had been talking came from there room. The guard entered the room and saw the Prince's oracle on the floor, he also knew of the strange fits the man fell into. As the two watched Hatsui's whole body seized up at once, his back arching off the floor before he collapsed unconscious on the floor. By this time the Sergalio's healer, a formidable woman, had arrived, she knew of the boys fits also and how clumsy he could be. "Move out of the way girl." the woman pushed aside the concubine. She knelt down with a basket and lifted up Hatsui's head, his breathing was heavy but even, and as she started to try and remove the man's robe she saw something, a single tear rolled down his face, and smile caressed his pale face.

She's finally coming...

The healer hadn't even noticed the Prince's arrival, she was too busy removing the oracle's bloodied robe to dress the wound he had inflicted upon himself. "Someone get be a basin of warm water!" she turned and hollard and then stopped, "Your majesty, I'm sorry I didn't see you there." she bowed her head before turning back to Hatsui, "It appears your oracle was being as graceful as ever, and fell onto a piece of glass..." she took a cloth from her basket and brushed gently against the wound on the boy's side, she found the fragment and carefully pulled it out, Hatsui barely even moved, even though the wound seemed quite painful.

A servant girl arrived the the requested basin and set it down beside the healer. The woman took a clean cloth and dipped it in the warm water and began to wash the wound tenderly. After she pressed a clean cloth to the wound and began to wrap it. Hatsui's breathing had returned to normal as he laid there still in the Prince's lap. After the healer had moved her things out of the way, and removed what remained of the cup she stood and turned to the doorway where the girls still lurked. "Don't you girls have other things to be doing? Like sleeping? Shoo!" She cast up her hands and the girls scattered from the door. She walked over and closed it, knowing they would have to redress the boy, and not needing the whole sergalio to see him. She walked to the cabinet and opened it removing the folded robe, she then walked over and set it on the bed, before kneeling to assist the prince in moving the boy, not that the Prince couldn't easily lift the boy himself, by Genbu, she would have probably lifted the boy up if she had needed. "Lets get him changed before he catches a chill."

The woman boed respectfully to the Prince, she knew the man took no shame in caring for his Oracle, and doing things that any normal noble would leave to a servant, it was almost romantic how the Prince cared for the young man. She gathered her things and slid open the door to once again come face to face with two young concubines still lingering. "I said SHOO!" she tossed up a hand and the girls went running, she sighed and turned back to the room. "Good night your majesty" with that she slid the door closed.

Hatsui rolled his head slightly and let out a small moan. He hadn't woken but he was slowly slipping back into reality. Depending on the vision, it could take him a few minutes or a few hours to wake up. One could time could be recalled of him predicting a terrible wind storm in the southern province, the boy didn't wake for close to half a day and when he did it was with a loud and terrifying scream as if he were trapped in the storm yet still.

Hatsui's rolled to one said again as another small noise escaped his mouth. He was regaining conciseness. As his senses returned a smell came him, that soft wonderful smell he knew so well, his Prince's smell, and something was touching him, softly stroking his hair. He just wanted to lay there a while, but he heard a voice, no his voice, his Prince's soft wondrous voice, asking him to wake up. His eyes fluttered open and he looked up, he was lying in his Prince's lap, when did that happen? When did his Prince even get here? Oh, right, his vision, WAIT! His Vision! Hatsui sat up suddenly, but fell back down instantly as a pain shot through his side, he clutched it, feeling bandages beneath his robe. Oh gods, he has done it again, gone and hurt himself. He would hear about it from the Prince, he was always so clumsy. But no! He was getting distracted again! "My Prince! I've had a vision!" he looked up at the Prince then quickly averted his eyes, knowing his Prince's sensitivity to being stared directly in the eyes.

Hatsui moved his sights to the wall across from where they lay, he had gotten used to not talking to his Prince while looking at him. He took a deep breath and let out a shaky sigh, he was a twitter with the information he had to give and was trying not to move around too much since his side hurt. "She here, the Priestess, she has descended to us! Oh my Prince, she is magnificent! i have seen her, come from the skys like a graceful bird! She is here! I have seen her amongst the great tree, she is in Koku Village my lord!" Hatsui's eyes glittered with excitement, his one hand reached up to grasp his Prince's hand squeezing it lightly.

He could feel his Prince now shared his excitment. He listneed as his Prince spoke. "You are too kind my Prince." Hatsui sat up, this time slowly, grasping carefully at his side. He knew his Prince would go at haste to find her. "I think I would be best here, making sure things are prepared for when you return with the Priestess." he closed his eyes and smiled torwards his Prince. "I will consult the stars and see if they will aid us in calling forth the other Senshi." He went to try and stand before sitting back down. His side was throbbing now, he really needed to learn how to control his power, or be less clumsy, either would be beneficial.
