| Akana landed outside of the city the senshi and knights were within, her form shrinking into that of her human self. She looked about, making sure there were no witnesses, then entered the city's borders. Kiley sat in the silent throne room, contemplating many things. "Dear child.. what plagues you..?" Akuma's soft tone pierced the quiet. "I'm deciding things, mother.. whether to watch my warriors or not." "Let them work on their own. If they fail, finish it for them and show them what true power is. Show them our legacy," an edge of lunacy entered the demoness's voice, as Kiley merely chuckled in approval. Diris glanced at Gaia. "I'll do it. As doubtful as I'm. I'll do it." she said accepting the offer. She wondered what it was gonna be like having the task of keeping the world safe from this man. She wondered what was going to happen after this. Jazon looked back, thinking that Nari was right behind him, when he saw that she was quite a ways away, he decided to turn back toward her. "Well, I thought that you would have been faster than that. What with the way you were boasting back there. But I guess that I will have to slow down so that you can keep up little girl." You could easily see his amused and mocking expression even in his dragon form. He chuckled to himself as he slowed his pace for her. "Gaia, what do you think our actual chances are... Of defeating Kiley, I mean?" Loki said with a tinge or worry in his voice. Christof was soon outside the chamber to the council. "They're here I can feel it." He said to himself. He then proceeded to enter when a couple of men who appeared to be guards stopped them. "I don't have time for this." He said drawing a sword from under his coat and beginning to cause a major scene in the middle of town. "Juline, I know your in there! You and your friends come out and fight or these guards will die!" He yelled believing that his presence at the very least was felt, and that they would not dare let two innocent men die. Kaos soon grew tired of searching for his sister and he too then left in search of the Senshi and knights. "They will soon be defeated and we will have full control without worry of a rebellion we can not handle." He said to himself as he floated above the clouds searching for any signs of his enemies. Banni walked in front of the white mare with her sister atop. They turned the corner and Banni paused a moment to look at the water and the horizon that followed. She sighed and continued walking. "Well, we're here," Banni held the mare tightly, "Shini, you go get it and I'll wait here, I want to rest my legs." Shini only nodded and hopped off the mare, going quickly into the store. Banni squatted a moment and stood up. She looked out to the docks and squinted her eyes to strain her sight. She shrugged and stood up, unbelieving what she saw- a girl wearing quite an outfit, she giggled. 'Banni, ol' girl, you need sleep' She nodded, agreeing with her own thoughts and decided they would stop for lunch after this errand. Gaia felt a twinge of power, as she glanced to a girl at a store. Her eyes remained fixed as she answered Loki, "Once together and shown your final part of your quest.. that will all decide whether you will defeat him or not. "For now, take our new senshi back and meet Juline with the others. I'll be there shortly," finished speaking, she gathered up her cloak and put it back on, her hand remaining over her chest, touching the pendant on her neck for a moment. Then with a sudden burst of energy, she leapt up into a tree and onto the rooftops, taking off again. Yasmine blinked, watching Gaia go off, then shrugged, "Guess that means she doesn't want us to follow since she took off like that." Juline sensed it.. she looked about, then up to where a fight seemed to be taking place, "All of you..." Lantis looked to the young woman, "Watch my daughter and wait for the others." Giving her horse a nudge with her heels, she raced up towards the fight, knowing who she'd find. Nari winced, she was rarely insulted and when she was it left an invisible mark in her core. She glanced at Jazon, quickly making sure her expression showed no sign of anguish from his unpretentious remark. "I choose to go slow Jazon, you don't have to slow down for me. I like to watch the world; it makes me feel entirely right about being alive. What about you, don't you think we should appreciate the fine place we live in? Or is everything beneath you these days?" "The world is in dire need of cleansing of the imputence it holds. I have no desire to view ignorant and potentially inferior beings." Jazon said still not looking toward the his surroundings, only ahead. "I would have thought that you would see how inferior they were, seeing as how you are one of Kiley�s followers. Perhaps your kind see things different than dragons...or at least the black dragon." he then waited for a response. Juline approached the two guards and Christof on her horse, slowing it to a stop, but staying on it's back. She studied her ex-husband from where she sat, "What are you doing here, besides causing a ruckus?" Nari thought heavily on his words, their existence mere ghosts upon her reflections. He had hit a particular cord in her mind that echoed endlessly reminding her of who she was. "Perhaps, Jazon, you are right. I suppose angels do see the world differently. But everything around you is not inferior. They are complex beings that took years and years to evolve into the intricate spirits they are today. I think my chatter means nothing to you however." Why should it she mentally added to herself. Believe what you want to believe Jazon. "Perhaps they are the result of centuries of evolution, but they are not the only beings to evolve. My kind, and your kind, and all other races are also evolved beings." Jazon pointed out. "Our races were born greater, and due to equal evolutionary rate, we remain greater. I tire of this argument, but if you wish to continue your futile attempt to defend the inferiors, then continue." Jazon said with a monotone uncaring voice. "I come for Nevarra, she is my daughter also and I believe you have spent enough time with her, It is my turn to be a parent. And it is also time for her to know her grandmother and her uncle." Christof said with cruel passion. "But I also bring a message, call it a simple token of our forgotten love. Kiley has sent his strongest forces to stop your little crusade, any attempt to stop them,...or me, will be futile. Why don't you just give up now. I promise your deaths will be quick and as painless as possible." "Ok, Jazon, I see your point. But if we are truly the greater beings then tell me this, why is there war? And why is it that if all of the 'greater beings' were removed from this planet life would prevail; but if we got rid of the smallest inferior being, everything would collapse? Tell me that Jazon because I really want to know." Nari argued. She had become so engrossed in the conversation that ice was beginning to form on her breath and her eyes blazed with a monochrome light. She had stopped speaking telepathically and used her own voice. It seemed warped and felt as if it came from a million different places. She knew she wouldn't intimidate Jazon, but she wanted to bluntly get her point across. |
