Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well this would be the second RP thread. I suppose were just putting this into test phase for now, and we'll see how it works out.

Alright everyone, moving into phase two. Ive done the tweaking I guaranteed and now that Im here its going to change into a past/freedom thing. When we just want to get away from the generic havoc we can come here for our time away from other insanity. Treat different things within the thread as separate situations.

Ex: Saradin and Aurah can be spending time together in the kitchen at some unnamed time while someone else can also be posting about being in the kitchen in their own story without interrupting us. If you dont get it, just go with it please youll get the hang of it if you try.

"By the Ancestors.."

Of all the reactions he coudl have thought of, this certainly had not been one of them. five of..himself? and the venom in thier fangs as well. Now it became a game of dodgeball...trying not strike where nad when he coudl while doging five creatures of power to him, using everything in the arsenal. fang, claws, dagger...striking where anything presented an opporunity. the growls and snarls of his native tongue, using the words to say the spells. thier power would not be what the runes woudl give, but that was nto a concern. anything to get these creatures away or kill them. wraiths of enfeeblement, poisons, diseases..binding of ethereal chain. flinging himself through tree and from land, but keeping himself always close to Ember, lest that one choose to join this. everything was a weapon. one dagger in the tails grip, one in his hand, and his others claws moving. sratching at the trees, making small marks that when he moved back. writing runes a line at a time. should those runes finish, they would weave a web of spiritual light, hoping these things of shadow could be burned or damaged by intense light.

"What in the name of the Ancestors ARE you, Ember? you are not some simple dark spirit as we supposed."

((RPing girl talk, got kicked last time, and for Nailah this is important enough))

Bastet looked at Nailah and watched as Nelphean Brightsabre and Elias left the women alone to talk. Then with a questioning eyebrow, she finger the vial with the powder in it, "What is this? Hopefully something that will help. The tea has helped, but I can never have enough to dull my senses." She rose slowly and walked to her friend, leaning against the counter, "And what do you mean bleeding? The monthly thing? That is what you are acting like." That would make a lot of sense, "Mine just stopped when I became eternal, I am guessing it is different with you."

Squinting one curious eye at her friend, her ears raised and she asked hesitantly, "Then what does it do?"

Continuing on as smoothly as if it did not concern her too much, she raised an eyebrow, "Oh, so it is like Aura. She takes something to get keep hers gone as well. There are potions for everything, I swear..." She pocketed the vial and watched her friend, "That is smart, I did not have to do something like that. I suppose in essence, if I had not died, this would not have been possible." She bumped her friend lightly and laughed, "Trust me, this is not all it is cracked up to be, and you have forever. We are special, we were born out of the time our soulmates exsisted, or we could not find them and this is several lifetimes later and we found their reincarnates, either way, it will happen, and you will know." She was referring to when nailah thought she had love before, and how she doubted herself now. Moving on, "So...did you forget to take it? Is something wrong?"

She laughed and shrugged, hugging her friend tightly. "It is ok. It was a little while ago, and I honestly have no clue where you were. Eclipse killed me, well because of him I died. He overloaded on dark energy. Nelphean was there too, but he was blind at the time. Coban brought me back to life. I am no longer eternal, I can not regenerate, so basically I am mortal." She nodded rather resigned, "And at one point I turned back into a cat, we have not talked in a while Niah dear." It was a realization said in a sad tone.

"I can heal however, and do this thanks to Coban's soul." Quickly she thought of Nelphean and levitated a foot off the ground, then watched a fly buzz by and put up a barrier around it, stopping it like a wall. "You might have been at the village, but I can not say for sure. And thank you for the medicine." She waited for her friend to calm down and answer the previous questions, happy that Niah did care.

Her friend sat down, and she followed. Setting one hand on her arm she smiled at her reassuringly, yup Niah cared, "I know you will not let me die. I trust you. And someday after the pregnancy, we can sit down in the library and research how to fix me, after all it was Egyptian magic that made me like that. And Eclipse did not mean to, he suffered well enough angry at himself for it."

Then she let the answer sink in. Oh, she stopped for Alex...who was no longer around. So she had planned... "And it coming just reminds you that you had stopped taking it, and of the reason, which reminds you of Alex." The motherly cat woman wrinkled her nose at the thought, then was quiet for her friends thoughts or feelings. She knew that the fact that she was in love and pregnant was not helping...but she could not change that. "Maybe...I am just hurting you...and you should speak to someone else." She would be there for Nailah, if she would allow it.

"I have always understood why you were mad at me, but not that is would effect you so much. I would think that this would be proof and reassurance that happily ever afters do happen. I know that I was questioning that when I was deprived love." She wrinkled her brow in thought, digging deep for the right words. "It was not wrong, you were meant to be a mother. You were meant to be loved. It was not wrong at all, but he was. He was wrong for you, and that is just the world playing a joke on you again. In essence, it was good that it did not work out, because he would have starved you emotionally and mentally." In further thought, she used her own conclusions that had comforted her, "Life is about give and take, loss and gain. I lost my life, and got powers. I got my love at the expense of cutting down talking to people as much, and losing some of what I am, which I am getting back, though I do not regret at all." Now to the connection with Nailah, "You lost a love you thought was there, a love that you felt, you gained the love of many others, a love you can be secure is true. Tyler, your friends that have become your family, the men's love which I am still slightly confused about...I can tell you why these loves are true though." Taking a breathe she continued, "When others can see the love that someone holds for you, and they are not an empath, then it is that apparent that it is truthful."

"You have also gotten stronger over the years because of those feelings." Bastet nodded then hugged her friend back. She was not sure of the praise that she was being given, she had still done horrible things. Jumping lightly over that topic she had to ask, "So, you can see the real love now? The different kinds of love that we all have to give? Do you know what you will do about it?" She smiled again, "You have lived your life the best you can, and people love you for your general kindness, innocence of a sort, and willingness to help others. Just for you. Tyler needs you, and you need him." With a contented sigh tears came begrudgingly to her eyes, "Damn emotions! Make me cry..."
