He appears in the garden out of a bursting flame as he materializes by the water, the then looks around in a amazment"..........heh, i didnt even know this place had a garden, how tranquil" he said to himself as he layed down on the soft grass and closed his eyes.

It had been day, no months, wait it had been a full year since he was pulled away. How he longed to come back and be home once more. Damien Avagado, the forsaken wretch, was smiling as his feet touched the gardens' limits. "Ah, home again." He said, taking slow steps, reminsicing of the good times he had here, and her. "Reincarnate...I'm home. I'm sor-" He stopped there, expecting he'd have been slapped for leaving.

The soft breeze blew past her in a swirling dance of grace,never before had she felt so at peace.Perhaps it was the longing for the night sky or perhaps it was the feeling of home?Which ever it was, a slight curve at the lips could only signify a moment in time where she tried to express herself with happiness.The lonesome walk occupied her thoughts as she sat on a stone bench under a shaded tree.Sitting silently in the waiting darkness she wondered of things to come and go but over all she wondered who had arrived and gone.As the breeze back tracked toward her,gently lifting the dark strands of hair from her face to reveal the bandage over her eyes to be crimson red with black splotches seeping through.As the wind passed by,she let out a soft sigh of sorrow.Though as happy as she had been,the sorrow was always the thickest of thin.

As his eyes closed he felt and smelled a familiar presence, but gave no reaction to it"Well its good that a good number of people are back i suppose"he said under his breath, he thought to himself how this was a good way to see who was truely loyal to the group.

"It isn't-"
"Inhabited? I bet you it is. Hell, we can't be the first ones to come across it."
"You need to look at the bright side of things."
"Well, I can look at the bright side of things. I just also watch my back to make sure no one is slipping a dagger between my shoulder blades." A smile flashed between the two speakers.
"Even if it isn't inhabited, it is best to be on guard." The sound of a sword leaving it's sheath and wood meeting wood filled the gardens of the Manor.
The two travelers didn't stop their quick pace towards the dark edifice rising in the distance. Every once in a while eyes would carefully scan the area before them or one would break off to scout ahead.
If one were looking at them they would soon notice that the two travelers looked much alike. For instance they both had dark brown locks, styled in the same fashion. Looking at them from the front, one would see high cheeks bones and lips that were set into a half-frown on both of them. And those eyes! Mismatched as they were, most noticed them first. They both had one gray-blue eye and a vivid green eye. Twins.
"Well, if anything they probably won't be able to find us here. Hell, I think we lost them in that black swamp."
"Eliv..."
"Yes?"
"It seems as if the oxygen is getting sparse. Do me a favor and shut that gaping hole in your face."

Glancing about curiously she gazed in wonder and awe at the simplicity and yet unique beauty of the garden,the water shimmering in it's own silent life.Walking along the water side she looks up ahead to see a foundation of sorts with coloumns at the front,slowly falling apart but remaining tall in it's old age.Standing across from it she noticed two statues on either side but they were too far away for her eyes to see the features."Breath taking...I didn't know places like this ever existed,it's just so peaceful."Immersing herself into her thoughts her eyes glazed over in a daze as she took a seat at the waters edge.

Casting a sideways glance down at Raven she took note that the girl looked deep in thought,remaining silent she turned her gaze to scan across the gardens.Something amiss in the usual atmosphere that perked a small tinge of curiousity.Almost as if there were those that had yet to make themselves known,intruders and yet not.Her upper body cast mostly in shadow,bringing her right leg up to her chest while her left hung limply over part of the foundation over looking the water front.Both her arms before her,her right flat elbow to knee while her left hand simply rested on the smooth cold stone of the foundation relaxed but ready to become tense for any movement.

Snapping out of her daze she started to gaze up at the sky but something caught her eye in the waters reflected surface,a leg?Blinking a couple of times she let her gaze travel up and indeed she noted that it was someones leg dangling over the foundation before her but anything else was a simple outline besides a black sleeve and gloved hand"Now who on earth could that be?...Seems vaguely familiar,curse my bad memory!"She could only whine softly to herself as she pouted.

And there was silence...for a few moments anyway.
"Valentine," Eliv whispered, "is that someone moving?"
Valentine squinted in the direction his brother was pointing and a curse traveled past his lips. There was someone or something moving. He momentarily prided himself on the fact that he had been right about someone probably living around the place and gave his brother a told-you-so look.
Eliv made a gesture before moving off to one side, Valentine moving off to another. They had been doing this for too long to be taken by surprise. Everyone was an enemy until proven otherwise. However it wasn't going to do them any good making enemies. They were being hunted. The last thing they needed was to have their hunters behind them and in front of them.
Silence again. They both studied the scene. And they both decided that they were most likely absolutely were going to have to fight...again.

Slowly she moved,much like a cat with fluid like movements before she stood up and gazed down at Raven.She was loud enough for her to hear clearly then again that was her.Movement beyond caught her gaze momentarily before she decided against doing anything brash.Turning her body away from the light she seemingly vanished but that assumption would be incorrect for she now stood at the waters edge by one of the statues,letting the shadow consume her upper body in darkness. And here I thought I would get a peaceful night....She thought to herself as she leaned lazily agains the statue,keeping an eye ont he young Raven.

Looking up again she blinked in confusion seeing that whoever was on the foundation had vanished,slowly turning her gaze around her she couldn't see anything.Her eyes traveled across the stone benches and finally settled back to the water front."Guess who ever it was left...*sigh* oh well at least it's still nice out and not to mention no disturbances"Flopping onto her back she put her hands behind her head as she stared up at the sky carelessly.

Glancing silently at Raven she could not help but let the corners of her lips curve ever so slightly upward in a tiny smile.Touching a hand to the bandage over her eyes she felt that the sides were becoming moist from small trickles of blood but it wasn't severe,it could wait. ...Now who could be lurking out here in the dark...specially with so few around..Slightly she turned her head and kept a look out,her acute ears hearing more than Raven's soft breathing.Followed by a slight shuffle of grass,made none other by the wind but there was a resistance somewhere against the wind.Letting a soft growl emit from her throat she flexed her left hand slightly.Someone is definately out there...But it's better to leave be knowing how the others would react.. With a sigh at her last thought she let her gaze fall back on Raven who seemed to be falling asleep.

Valentine could make out movements of what he thought was a female. However the distance and perspective made this view distorted. Well, they were never ones to hide or cower in fear. Perhaps they were just humble villagers after all. Valentine looked to Eliv and nodded with his head towards the faceless figures in the distance. He understood and readied his bow and arrow.
They met back up, Eliv stayed a step ahead of Valentine. They walked in the open, approaching a structure of sorts, but all the while eyes were glued to the unknown.
"Any sign of hostile actions, shoot."
"Be quiet, Val. Sometimes I wonder if you think you're my twin or my father."

Standing over Ravens sleeping form she kept close to the shadows or more so they kept close to her.Sliding her hands out of her pockets she ran her left hand lazily through her long hair before letting it fall back into place over her face...What am I to do with you?...Shall I leave you or keep watch over you until you wake...Getting down on her left knee she swiftly lifted Ravens sleeping form up and rose her self up in a standing position with Raven settled in her arms bridal style to ensure that no damage would be done other wise.Swiftly making her way across the grass she noted the tense atmosphere,then coming to a stop she became completely still.Her upper body consumed by shadow,hiding most of herself and Raven's face in darkness.She may have been mistaken but that was doubtful as she caught sight of two lone figures in the distance,their smell causing slight displeasure as she could tell that there was a weapon out and ready to fire. ..Hostility or no?...
