| Juline led Lilia and Kamui out of her home, heading towards the Council's meeting place. She was silent, passing through the town with her fellow Council member and knight on the Arian team with her. She was worried about her daughter, really wished that she could have brought her with them.. but she wasn't about to force Nevarra to come with her. Gaia chuckled, seeing Celes and Yasmine both appear to be deep in thought. How she loved playing her mind games. Ah well, she owed the people of Aria some trouble for the crap she had lived through... well, before she had an actual form, all she had been was a prize to be sought. That was worse than a freak of nature. The idea brought another chuckle to the red elf. Kamui grabbed his heavy dark green rucksack and followed Juline, walking next to Lilia and taking in the surroundings as they made they're way to the council's meeting place. Juline walked silently, even as they approached the Council building. She'd have to speak with Nevarra again after visiting here. Lilia was probably tired of playing babysitter.. especially with Juline's daughter. "Juline..?" Lilia spoke up, coming up beside her, "If you're worried about your daughter.. you can have her stay in the Council's extra rooms. We wouldn't mind." "Until she had an outburst. Don't worry about it," Juline smiled to the elf, "I'll think of something before too long." Gaia frowned, looking around, then suddenly standing up in a wave of her red hair, "Well, ladies and gentlemen, I believe Sailor Wasav is officially a no show. I suggest helping out your friends outside of town. I have one more senshi to pick up, and you'll meet Sailor Whisos either way." "Excuse me.. a no show?" Yasmine asked, cocking an eyebrow in Gaia's direction. "Hey, even I am wrong sometimes.." The red elf shrugged with a light laugh. Juline entered the Council building, the group entering the meeting room, as the members of the Council sat behind a half-circle of white marble. Welcoming smiles came to their faces, as one stood up. His light-colored hair set off his ice blue eyes; this was Damien Mirmos. "Welcome Juline and Lilia. We see you've brought someone with you." Kamui bowed respectfully as he entered the room, standing slightly behind the two women. Closing her pure purple dragon eyes, Celes turned on her heel and silently walked back the way they came. A slight breeze flew passed carrying with it the news of trouble. "The others need us." Was all she said as she swiftly disappeared heading back towards the entrance of the town. Dandria then fired several blasts towards the elf before once again calling out an attack. "Flaming Hell!" She chanted angrily as she pinpointed her target. Sailor Mystos's shadow then reared up behind her and surrounded her in flames. "Any move and you'll be burnt like a crisp." She sneered not caring much now if she was seen or not Loki followed Celes without a word, because somehow he knew she was right. Yasmine quickly followed Celes and Loki, not doubting Celes's words in the least. She had a feeling the others were in trouble as well, but was unsure of admitting to it until the air senshi had spoken. Tidan Knight stood up, "Tsunami!" As he spoke, water came up from behind Akana, slamming into her and sending her flying into a tree. The girl hit it hard, collapsing to the ground, unconscious.. at least, the knight hoped she was. Gaia headed into Juline's house, looking about before following her senses and heading upstairs. Glancing into a room, she caught sight of a young girl with purple hair, "Hello, little one," the elf said in a warm greeting to Juline's daughter. Juline spoke to the Council, "This is Kamui, a knight we've discovered on our quest. We have also found several other knights and senshi, with the help of a red elf, Gaia." "So the legendary knights and senshi exist?" A woman with fiery orange hair asked. "Indeed, they do," Juline reassured, "But, I haven't seen any sign of the Piros.. or have heard anything about it. Although, we will continue seraching for more of these legendary warriors and weapon," the young woman stopped a moment, pausing to let everything sink in. "But now, I believe Kamui wishes to see some things and speak to you," Juline looked to the knight, giving him a cue to speak. "Celes, do you feel the battle getting closer? It is almost like an icy yet burning feeling in me." Loki asked. "perhaps we should both transform and prepare for the eminent battle." without letting her answer he then spoke, "Aria, Firian Power, Transform!, Come on Celes, as you said, We are needed. not a second can be wasted." Celes followed suit, "Arian, Airyu power Make-up!" She called, clouds covering her form and then a pale red light as she emerged as Sailor Airyu a much older looking and taller than the child like Celes. "The wind is more hectic and the sense of the ones whom attacked us before are in the battle as well as three new people." She confirmed to the Firian Knight. Coming just by the entrance she saw flashes of fire and then a high tide rush through the trees not far from them. "Lets join in the unwelcome fun." Kamui looked suddenly nervous having the chance to speak with the Council members, clearing his throat he stepped forward slightly. "It is an honor to be able to speak with you all, I hope i will not sound too rude. Just a few questions about the threat to our lands...As the people have not yet been informed of this threat as yet, does that mean that Kiley, his mother and their followers have become much stronger after the last battle with them?" Nevarra was sitting in a damaged chair, the broken china doll was in her lap and the girl's arms were limply around it. The chair was faced towards the window and the girl was staring out of it. Her ice blue eyes almost seemed to be glassy. The young girl didn't even acknowledge Gaia's entrance, she was in her own world, the dream world she had created where nothing bad happened. The room around her was still a mess with broken pieces of furniture and other items all over the floor. "We shall answer all questions as to the best of our knowledge," Orion paused then, looking to the others, then spoke, "Indeed, Kiley, Akuma, and their followers are much stronger since they were locked away.. they gain support and power daily, as people wish to live, so they throw away everything to save themselves.." "Which is the nature of survival itself," Lilia spoke up. Yasmine followed the Firian Knight and Sailor Airyu, yelling, "Arian Flamus Power, Make-up!" Flames covered her form by her hair, as she transformed. She saw the fighting as they approached as well, getting her own attack ready. Gaia stepped into the room, standing beside Nevarra for a moment, studying the little girl. After a moment, she walked around her, kneeling down before Juline's daughter, speaking in her most serene, soft voice. |
