Wedding Day

Devaine_Hawk still doesn t speak, not even a nod . He just leans back against the dojo wall and crosses his arms over his chest as he keeps his eyes locked on Phoren. When he finally moves , it s to pull the Zippo and a pack of cow boy killers from his pocket .Lighting up he takes a long draw , and just stands there , flicking ash from time to time, and watching the others as they move about . He might look out of place in a way, this warrior among peaceful people here . Not having much to do for now, he takes mental stock of him self . And a long breath. The breath is more to let him know if his deodorant and cologne are still doing their job, .

[ClaudiusBlue ] At the tip of his toes where he spun along the ground did a small whirlwind start to pick up, kicking up a little dust and dirt as he continued his cycle. "Of course!" the man replied with the same excitement as his sister, his dance coming to an abrupt but graceful halt with a stomp. "She is preparing at the inn over the west coast. With what treatment, fortune, and prayers she has recieved, I believe that she should be well and able to speak now without pain." The man hopped and pranced back towards Electra and Alison, his legs extending out as far as they could go with each bound. "Shall we go and fetch her then?" the noble asked them both as giddy as a man of his character could be.

Electra grinned at the little girl watching her fireworks she giggled and sat in the grass "watch this she closed her eyes and concetrated the electricity coming from her hair now taking the form of butterflies and big birds that flew around her head she grinned "fun huh? hey-do you wanna go play by the water? we can make sand castles, we don't have to get all dressed up yet since Aislinn isn't here....so...we can get dirty without anyone getting mad." she grinned then paused looking up to Ben she grinned and stood up "aww... ok well then i suppouse we hav'ta go get the bride before Benny turns into a firework"

Alison lowerd herself to the floor consiling her angel wings and noded happly to mr Blue "YAY" she now giggle "maby we can play later" she said happly to the lady as she claped at the forms she was makeing happly

Hugh wanders in.

Fay the kitsune girl came onto shore having just arrived in her new flag ship her father was making a tribe that needed a captain for his fleet so she had taken up the part also having supervised the newly built ships she was just barely getting used to the help of crewmen on board with her she locked the helm while the crew rigged the sails and tossed the anchor as well she looked out over the shore and grinned as she spotted Blue she tossed down the gangplank and walked ashore "ahoy Ben!" she called wagging her tail as she appraoched

Devaine_Hawk blows another long stream of smoke up at the sky, looking over at Blue , I always thought it way bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the altar on the wedding day he laughs . But go ahead, if you want to let the kids stay here and play I ll look over them and make sure they re safe

[ClaudiusBlue ] Their replies had filled with with that much more excitement to see his beloved, although the smile he brandished did seem to dim slightly as a thought came across his enthusiastic and cluttered mind. "But perhaps I should not accompany you both. It is bad fortune and bad form to see the bride before she is meant to be presented. Perhaps you to could go without me?" From the salty ocean air did a hearty voice carry to reach his keen ears, the voice of the pirate girl he had met once before. "Ah! Good day to you Fay!" he shouted back with a wave before looking to the other two. "I believe she will carry you to where you need to be. I am counting on both of you to do you best to bring her in one piece." But of course, the man joked, the grin upon his face showing that. Then he heard Dev. "Actually Dev, could you go along with them? I do not want to spoil tradition."

Electra blinked and looked at the strange kitsune then laughed and nodded "ok if she'd like me aboard then i'll be happy to take her..." she walked over to Fay and showed her on a map where they were headed to

Devaine_Hawk shrugs his shoulders . I could do that he states . He might not be the model baby sitter, but he makes a great body guard , if he has to be one . He moves to the girls well lets go then

Alison noded happly to Mr Blue "Yups you can trust us to get Mommy safly here and with Uncle Devaine there but no chance of stoping us" she smiled again happly looking to the lady who had just come on the island walking to her

Blank faides into existance in all his majesty... Which isn't much. With a flicker of light and a puff of white smoke, the rogue phased into being not far from the rest of the people. His face possesses his typical apathetic look he wears for just about every occation. It was almost like smiling was taboo to him, but perhaps it's just a side effect to all those years he's lived and learned of the world about him. Perhaps. He slid his hands into his pockets and slowly approched the crowd with his head slightly bowed. He was silent and didn't acknowledge anyone as he strolled by. Eventually he would find a nice place just in hearing range of the group and settle down to observe like he always did.

Fay blinked at being suddenly recruited she laughed and shook her head "ok fine whatever.... she looked at the map then to Alison and Devaine " you two don't get sea sick do you?" she asked half hopefully then paused "hey ...if he ain't suppoused to see the bride who's gonna stay here and baby sit him so he won't peek when i bring her to shore?" she was already looking for the best route around the jagged rock reef of the island.

[Fay ] *color

PhorenNarqu promptly raises his hand, to volunteer

Devaine_Hawk nods in agreement . right , but if trouble should rear it s ugly head . You all get her back here, and don t worry about me he tells the females . He notices the slight ripple in the psychic atmosphere as Blank arrived . Walking to the man he leans over to whisper some thing , before following the women toward the boat .

Electra pointed to Phoren "he will now let's go Fay Fay" she dashed over to the boat excitedly

Alison gets on the boat exsitebley this was her first ever time on a boat as she usaly traviled by air she ran around it happly taking in every detail she was having the time of her life

Fay blinked and gave a glance to Phoren before she walked up the gang plank she looked to Dev "if trouble rears it's head i'm staying with my ship" she muttered and awaited the litle girl to come on board while she unlocked the helm then nodded to the crew who put up the sails and dragged the anchor back upusing the crank,she spun the wheel forty clicks to the west so as to veer away from the shore. the sails caught wind and the ship lurched forward towrds the western shore

Devaine_Hawk stops at the bottom of the ramp leading up to the boat, and glances up to Fay as he calls out permission to board? showing she won t have to worry about him getting sea sick, and that he knows his way around all be it modern navy vessels , that should be close enough .

Flash_Guardian at last enters the clearing at its eastern side, looking around for people. He seems, as far as anyone can tell, to be in perfect shape after last night's chaos. His Armani suit and shades are back, as he appears happy beyond reason, almost bouncing along with each step. He searches the courtyard and the dojo for signs of life in a rather enthusiastic manner ... "Helloo?"

Blank pulls out his pistol and takes aim at Flash. But his aim relaxes some as he finds out it's just the excited er... person. "Geh..." He glances over at another individual sticking around.

[ClaudiusBlue ] Everybody's involvement in the matter of bringing Aislinn back to the island filled him with a sense of not only security, but also fellowship. Eventhough the group had been through many quarrels and hardships, each one of them stretching their resolve, their composure, their sanity to the breaking point, each one of them worked together to bring his dream into a reality. "Wonderful... Absolutely incredible. This truly is what is, is it not?" he posed to the rest of them nearby, pulling on the ruffle tucked into each sleeve. Then he carefully made a once over to see if everything was in proper order: His hat straightened and clean with new plumage, the silver on his shoes and coat shined and polished, his garments free of spots and dirt. Everything seemed to be in order.

Lewis looks around

[PhorenNarqu ] "Silence, Claudius, or I'll gag you."

[Blank ] "There shall be no gaging here... Nor violence unless I am the first to initiate it." He says, shooting a sulky look over at Phoren.

Flash_Guardian grins and waves to Blank cheerily ... quite a turnaround from the night before. "Hiya, Blank! Can't stop now, gotta find Blue or Aislinn and tell them the good news! Not to mention the decorations ... and everything else. Oooh! This is so exciting!" Not waiting for any further greeting, he hop-skips his way through the south entrance of the dojo, heading for the central arena, where he thinks the ceremony will probably be performed. Much to do.

Blank blinks. Wait... Just where is he.

Blank should be asking where everyone else is at. [ClaudiusBlue ] The sound of disagreement between the two men had reached his musician's ears, only a slight breath signalling the slightest bit of dissapointment for the lack of glee they expressed. "Please, gentleman. Please. There is no need for that kind of speak. Today is a happy day! A wonderful time indeed! Let us for one single night dispense with what quarrels and harsh feelings we have towards one another and make this a night of togetherness and union. I bare no grudge against any man today and neither will I try to rekindle that grudge after today." Flash's voice soon reached them and he offered a call back. "Flash! This way!" shouted the man with a wave.

Flash_Guardian agrees with Blank. Where the heck is everybody right now? Flash just entered the dojo, south wing.

Demitrious comes out to the now familiar Isle dressed in the finest robes he owns

Blank guess he still is around where the mass of people was at. Feh. He shrugs to Claudius and lowers his pistol to his side. "Tell that to him. I'm just a temporary care-taker, to make sure that it isn't turned into a minature war... or worse, a politcal rally." He said in his casual yet cold tone. "I hold no friendship here, just a short term contract."

PhorenNarqu is where Blue is.

ClaudiusBlue will be within the southern entrance to the dojo, just below the piece of art Aislinn had given to Flash.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Happy for you and Aislinn, perhaps. For others... Not quite so happy."

Demitrious frowns at Phoren as he enters the dojo, "For you nothing shall be happy"

[Flash_Guardian ] Flash rushes up to Claudius, grinning from ear to ear. "Blue!" He quickly shakes his head, raising his hands apologetically. "Claudius, I mean. Sorry." Flash seems to calm down a bit now. "I found you a priest, in case you need one." A look is given to the others, not knowing that in fact another priest may already be present. "Where's the lucky girl?" Flash can hardly sit still at the moment ... nothing seems capable of breaking his good mood at the moment.

Demitrious looks around for the fellow Priest that Flash had mentioned

Blank scratches his head and puts away his weapon. Joy. "Someone seems overly happy today. Hi Flash."

[ClaudiusBlue ] Not even stopping or hiding his excitement, the noble offered Flash a hand shake and a pat on the back with a large smile. "Now, now... We will not worry about such things today. Call me Blue, Clausdius, what ever my best man would deem fit! This is a celebration! Enjoy yourself!" he said in a boistrous tone with a laugh punctuating his gleeful reply. "Demitrious!" Blue offered him a handshake too. "Glad to see you here!"

[ClaudiusBlue ] *Claudius

Demitrious accepts that handshake with a somewhat puzzled look upon his face, he had also expected to see the fair maiden here

LoX appears, his form sheathed by tendrils of translucence that cling to him, much akin to steam that trails from an open sauna door. A few stray crackles of sound from his form, his eyes sparking momentarily behind tinted sunglasses. A vague smirk completes his expression, his lips curled at the corners. The man himself is clothed in a blue leather jacket, form-fitting, with the inscription of the kanji of Air on the back. Worn denim jeans sheathe his legs down to black leather biker's boots, twin leather wristbands encircling his arms. For a moment, he holds his breath, then lets it out slowly, the air itself misting where he exhales. Many signatures dot the island itself today, but one stands out, like always. Within a few moments, he makes his way towards the dojo, his pace quickened.

Flash_Guardian one-ups Blue by pulling him into a proud hug, clapping him on the back as well briefly before parting. He blinks at Blue curiously, grinning. "Best man?! I'm honored!" His happy look is priceless. "But I would have thought you'd want a priest for this ceremony." His tone drops slightly. "Besides, I though we could use some extra protection of the clerical variety. Just say the word, and I'll tell him to get over here." He stands there, in the southern part of the dojo, toying with the cuff-links of his Armani suit while waiting for an answer.

[Demitrious ] *the Hairs on the back of Demitrious' neck suddenly twitch with the coming of a reviled creature

LoX strides towards the dojo proper, the building itself soon framed within his sight. Soon, long legs carry him towards the sound of voices and quite excited ones too, by the sounds of them and the energy behind each statement. A few stray eddies of air swirl around him as he strolls, stray leaves and dust picked up and twirled around within the breezes, much akin to mischievious fae playing an ongoing game of tag. The man carries an air of capricious facetiousness, almost as if nothing is truly important to him. Soon enough, he arrives within voice distance of Flash. "Well...seems like I picked a hosed-up day for a visit, aye?"

[ClaudiusBlue ] Flash's suggestion did seem to carry some of his interest and concern for the idea that something inopportune may occur. For the last few days on Redfang, it had been hard and difficult for them all in one way or another. For some of them, it had always been hard. Hopefully, everything would change today and the dark cloud hanging over the island would dissapate with his beloved's arrival. Even though Flash's tone did dip a bit lower, the noble would not let something like this get between him and this day of celebration. "Yes, of course." That smile had never really left his face, the excitement of things to come still lifting him up on high.

Flash_Guardian beams ... and is about to summon this person when another comes into view, one whom Flash is most happy to lay eyes upon. "Kaz!!" Flash grins at his sensei. "Did you come here for the wedding too?" After looking LoX over, he frowns, his face screwing up just a little. "You certainly don't look dressed for one." Abruptly, Flash shakes his head and waves it off. "Anyway, I should keep busy. Lots to do, lots to do!" With a passing wave for the others, Flash quickly sprints off for the eastern wing, where he has a few things waiting for him. A pair of gifts, a bag of small marble-like objects, and an ivory statuette of an angel. On his way, he taps his cuff-link, activating the connection, and speaking into his wrist. "Boy scout to number 3 ... Tamoril is a go. Bring him in."

Viimz talon rubs at it's snout even from where it was the feelings of joy and somewhat happiness was oozing as if from every pore of the beings below....how disgusting though it's interest was perked as to what had caused such feelings

[LoX ] "Do I ever dress up for anything? No...I didn't even know about a wedding, actually. Don't let me keep you. I'm actually here to see Dev, not you. Though I did plan on seeing how things were going...." He pauses for a moment to sniff the air, his eyes slitting behind his sunglasses. "Eh....brimstone...or something. No mind." With that, he merely turns and stands, awaiting silently.

[Blank ] "Wedding? My antithesis it seems. Well, since I'm here, I suppose I should cough up some form of a wedding gift out of respect." He muttered as he stood and began to rummage through his pockets. In his pockets were gifts galor but... what for a wedding? He glanes towards LoX and quirks a brow. "Dev? He left a while ago with the rest of the people to go fetch the bride."

LoX returns Blank's glance, a bit of a vague smile still on his lips. "I'm very patient, mate. I'm sure he'll be back soon enough." Something seems slightly 'off' about the expression of the man. Perhaps it was the irritating smell, or maybe it was something else. His voice retains a gentle, but almost menacing quality to it. "It's important."

Serielle appears near the southern entrance of the dojo with a flash of starlight, her appearance utterly perfect, in honor of the evening's celebration. She smiles as her gaze falls upon Claudius, the groom, half of the happy couple. "Claudius, all is in order with your Lady dear! She will be boarding Lady Fay's vessel within moments. And...she asked me to be her maiden of honour!" It is clear the girl is thrilled with this entire occasion, her eyes wide with excitement.

Flash_Guardian would also tap his wrist twice, switching the channel and speaking again over the connection. By now, he's probably out of earshot of the others, but no matter. "Boy Scout to Hawkeye ... an old friend's here looking for you. One who gave you a really nice looking sword." Flash at last enters the east dojo, finding his bag in the commons and pulling the aforementioned items out. The two gifts he leaves there for now, grabbing the small bag of 'marbles' and the angelic idol before heading back to the south wing with them, humming a tune and almost dancing as he makes his way back.

ClaudiusBlue allowed his eyes to carefully inspect the room for one last time, making sure everything were as it were supposed to be. The guest were here or on their way, the room had been set up the way it should, he was in his proper position, everything seemed to be in order. But how the man shook in his place, now feeling a little nervousness through his excitement and mirth. How he hoped everything would work out today. The lady, Serielle, had entered the room with the announcement of Aislinn's arrival and her position as the maiden of honor. "Wonderful!" The bard voice was loud, but sounded as if he were a little more relieved than just the moment before. "Thank you Lady Serielle! I am honored to have you here with us," the bard said with deep bow, bringing his elaborate feathered cap to his chest.

[Blank ] "Right, I'm just saying though. It's not my business. He did ask me to keep an eye on this place while he was gone... How eventful that has been." He pulls out two braclets made of silver. There was nothing overly unique about them but they were still impressive. "This should do I suppose, where are the other wedding gifts?" He asked Blue.

LoX absently plays with a platinum coin, rolling it from fingertip to fingertip, end over end, the coin almost dancing as it flips. "Meh. Okay, I'm a horrible liar. I'm an impatient arse. Anyway, this has to do with a certain trip to a certain someone and it's happening very soon. I merely aim to pass the word on." An uneasy silence passes, the only sound escaping is the slight ringing of the coin as it flips end-over-end. "The name's Kaz. I get called LoX because of a prior title, due to an...unfortunate career choice? Kind of a shorthand nickname. What's your game?"

PhorenNarqu heard. And knowing that Claudius was oin his right place, took a seat, and hung his head. Patently, silently awaiting her arrival. Still as stone. Letting a tear fall, but nothing else. Hands loosely in his lap. His role, now, was simply to sit here and endure.

Serielle , her message delivered, began to glance around the room, her gaze searching for one gentleman in particular...a man in an Armani suit...

Viimz shifts peering down from its perch to those here...what did it care if it could be sensed what was going on below seemed to be important to those gathered it's snout wrinkles at the stench of goodness whiffing as if something tangeable to touch...head turning to see the new arrivals

Blank glances towards LoX once more. Was he addressing him still? If he was, then he had better not be rude. "Eh... Nice to neet you Kaz... I got my name through a past trade as well. I'm Blank, assuming you don't know me. My game? I'm just a by-standard who doesn't feel like fighting a war on his own right now. So I enter a less annoying battle field for the moment."

[ClaudiusBlue ] As he returned his hat back over the golden mane that cascaded and flowed over his shoulders and back, the noble pivoted to face Blank with offered a wide smile. "Gifts? Within the next room." The aristocrat laughed heartily and glanced to the bracelets in his hands. "You even brought something for us too? I had hardly even been given the chance to know you." Both of Blue's hands found each other with the muffled sound of fabric against metal. "Thank you so much! We must get better acquainted after the wedding!"

[Flash_Guardian ] Such a man as Serielle is looking for arrives in short order, grinning ear to ear as he carries his goodies, the bag and the angel figurine. "Dev and the rest are on their way," he tells everyone, but mostly for LoX's benefit. Glancing around the room, it's fairly easy to tell that the ceremony will be taking place in the south wing. Chairs would seem to have been arranged for just such a purpose. He glances around at the others ... catching sight of Serielle, his smile seems to take on a different quality for a moment ... one of gratitude. His gaze moves on, though, moving quickly up to the group. "Okay, I've called in Tamoril. He should be here shortly as well. And now ..." he says, setting the ivory angel down and opening the bag. "I would like everyone to take all the white marbles you can find out of the bag." No other explanation is given, really. Flash now moves around the group, silently offering the open bag to each one.

[LoX ] "Eh. My battlefields aren't physical anymore. Besides, I'm too old to continue fighting. Retirement to the beach is now the only game I really carry any sort of ambition over. Yeah. The pleasure's all...somewhere, I suppose." That selfsame smirk toys with some kind of mirth that manifests into his expression. Finally, his impatience shows through on his face, long strides taking him from the dojo completely, yet never missing a beat as the coin continues flipping end-over-end.

Fay turned the helm towards the shore as their ship came into veiw- their mision successful without any fights thoug h she'd noted the little girl had fallen down a few times she was just glad no one had puked on her ship she locked the helm and turned to the crew and passengers checking their well being "lower the sails win'ds to strong to slow down enough with their force" she said the pirates who worked the riggings, they promptly climbed the mast and a few up the nets. she raised her hand to the man next to the anchor and waited to give signal as she turned back to the helm, she lowered her hand and he lowered the anchor with a clash "hold onto your lunch girls if your new to the sea- i don't think my crew mates or i would like to see it come out." she commented with a laugh as they pulled up to the docks she kicked down the gangplank and awaited everyone to leave before she would she mostlikley would stay on the ship during the wedding

Aislinn arrived with her soon to be sister, her daughter, and her dear friend, as well as a new one who manned the boat. For now, she was covered head to toe in her large black cloak, her appearance hidden as to not spoil it before she got to the aisle. She smiled to Devaine. "Thank you for accepting. My father is not around to give me away, nor see this day." She awaited for Fay to anchor and such.

Devaine_Hawk stands in the bow of the ship as it reaches the beach of the island again. Scanning ahead with his psychic senses he can feel several familiar auras , some more so than others and one that s not familiar, and it s not right either, black and vile , it appears inn his minds eye. He holds his hand up to the others before they leave the ship remember. Me first , and if some thing happens you all get to the dojo and don t look back, understand? he asks.

Blank looks back Claudius with this half horrified look on. Acquainted? This guy was so overly zealous it almost frightened the rogue, but he kept cool and choose not to be his overly critical self and force a smile. "Uh, right, no problem. Hell, I'm a walking gift store. I have gifts and items for just about every occation. I thought it just would be a gesture of good will to someone who was about to get married." He uses a weak spell to float the articles of jewlery over to the table and sets them down. Lazyness is not a sin, its a way of life. He glanced back to LoX and tilted his head. "Well, good luck with those battles. I fought those a long time ago and I'm back to the physical. If you kno-" He was cut off as Flash offers him a white marbles. "What in the nine hells...?" He shrugged and did as instructed.

[Flash_Guardian ] Suddenly, a massive shadow looms over the boat as a large, metallic object descends from the clouds below and into view ... it's the Triad, moving on an intercept course to provide the boat down below a more formal escort. The bright sunlight reflects off of the Triad's shining exterior. Even the airship seems to look its best for the occassion.

ClaudiusBlue swiftly turned his head to watch as Flash entered the room, turning so quick that he would have to pull his feathered cap straight and level again. Finally... Everybody was almost here and the wedding could begin! The bard had never really imagined what his wedding day would be like, only once before he arrived here. But even those plans started to become vague and unclear as he waited within the southern halls of the dojo, straighening and restraightening his cuffs, buttons, ruffles, feathers, sleeves, jacket, and hair. But as he pushed aside one of the coloured curls, a bag full of white marbles was presented to him. "Oh..." Curiously, the noble paused for one moment to take one with a nod given to Flash as he moved.

Alison smiles happly as she ship came to shore but also sighed a little she liked being on bord this it was new and fun to her she looked as they approced the island

Electra was hugging Aislinns arm tightly and excitedly sparks of electrcity flyign everywhere she had changed into her bride's made gown in the captains quarters she nodded to Dev then looked to Alison "come here i'll get you dressed in your flower girl dress ok??" she asked reaching a hand out to her

Aislinn frowned softly, hearing Devaine. He may know she had a problem with that. If something happened, she would help. Her sword, was on her, as was the holy dagger. She came armed, to her own wedding. Yet, it hadn't been exactly a normal life for her, anyhow. An abnormal event for an extraordinary woman. Seemed to fit. At any rate, she stepped carefully off the boat, still trying to make due with the high heels and the dull ache from the wounds. Luckily, that had healed thanks to the old priest and Flash.

Alison smiled takeing her hand looking at her happly but then confussed "what wrong with what me wearing" she had no idar she had never had to were anything other than what she wore befor

LoX stands just outside the Dojo's entrance, the air a little clearer to his delicate sense of smell. His fingertips freeze over the coin, his mind's eye already picturing something disgusting. An audible sigh escapes his lips. "Nice try, Father...." Barely above a whisper. "Here I would've thought that you'd be above spying on me." The sunglasses are removed from his eyes, then slung into the neckling of his shirt as he awaits whatever happens next, a few stray tendrils of kinetics cavorting over his body.

Electra smiled leading her into the captains quarters to change Alison into her dress" weddings are like halloween everyone has to dres like a princess or prince so they can get cake at the reception?" she said giving her best shot at explaining stuff, which wasn't too well she held up a dress about Alison's size it looked like a mini wedding dress

LoX 's gaze rivets on Dev, then he steps from the shadows themselves. "Dev. News. You want to hear it now or later? If later, I'm leaving, I've got a few things t'do."

Fay Stands beside the helm awaiting Electra and Alison to leave the captains quarters so she could let her crew ashore

Alison giggled happly "so if me dress funny like this me gets cake" she smiled happly thinking about that and egely now looked at the dress happly

Viimz dark coal eyes narrow ahhh tis his pretty lady and my doesnt she look nice....it's tongue tip flickers out as it runs quickly over it's thin lips.....almost tasting the woman now approaching the....what was it called oooh yes ...dojo..

Blank looks at the marbles in his hands and pondered trying to transmute them into something else more interesting. But he resisted the urge and leaned back up agaisnt the wall casually. Whatever.

Devaine_Hawk raises an eye brow at LoX , and smiles . He d sensed his aura, from a mile away as powerful as it is, but seeing the man in a hurry is some thing new . lay it on me then

Aislinn nodded softly at Devaine's words, at least agreeing to get the two other females inside safely. She continued down the plank, still trying to get used to the darn heels. A friendly smile to LoX, remembering him as Flash's teacher from before. Nodding to him politely and walking on, to allow him and Devaine their conversation privately.

Electra nodded" yea but it only works if there's a wedding..." she helped Alison into the dress and handed her a basket of flower petals "ok now your going to follow the person with the rings and drop the petals on the floor as you walk into the room with all the people that are dressed funny ok?" she asked as she guided her off the ship

Flash_Guardian withdraws the bag after everyone who wants a white marble has taken one, grinning and setting it aside and out of sight after taking one or two for himself. "Okay," he instructs everyone. "Pick your favorite spot on the ceiling, and throw the marble up at it!" Flash does so just then, haphazardly throwing both his marbles in opposite directions. Upon striking the rafters of the ceiling, the burst into a shimmering shower of white sparkles. Pretty green vine snake all about the ceiling where the marbles hit, bearing beautiful white roses as well as twisting white streamers. Instant decorations. Flash grins happily, wanting to make sure no detail is spared this wonderful day.

Serielle finally sets her eyes upon Flash...and heart leapt into her throat. She had spent many long hours the day before, healing the man back to his current state...and what a handsome state it was. She waves to him, her voice ringing out clearly like crystal. "Flash!"

Alison followed her off board wearing the dress smiling happly to her nodding her head "okay then me gets cake" she said smileing happly

Demitrious "ahem's" quietly and positions himself in front of the gathered crowd with a large book layed out in front of him

[LoX ] "Your visit to the man I'd mentioned before is set up. If you survive the entrance to his family grounds. Still interested?" His eyes narrow, somewhat tainted by crimson. "This is sort of a one-timer. It's very rare for him to accept any one. Especially not someone untrained and unknown." A sudden surge of emotion from someone inside throws his expression off-kilter for a moment. "Gah. Frikin' empathetics. Anyway, you up?"

[Demitrious ] are we ready?

Slave wanders around for a while. Then she sees a strange looking island off the shoreline. She wonderd if there was a way over there. It seemed pretty.

[Flash_Guardian ] The massive metal airship continues to follow over the boat, being rather hard to miss as its massive turbines whine, creating a powerful air current that is only weakly felt by any down below. The Triad keeps hovers just above the edge of the tallest trees now, making its way slowly over land to the clearing at the island's center, following the bride closely.

Blank shrugged and randomly tossed the marbles up towards the ceiling, once done he dusted off his hands and resumed his casual stance.

Devaine_Hawk nods to LoX , am I ever, I want to learn how to wield her so she ll get off my back he laughs as he pats Storm Blossom s hilt when and where? he asks.

Electra nods "yes and then you get cake"" she laughed and raced up beside Aislinn "excited?"

[ClaudiusBlue ] The marble was a strange object. Blue couldn't understand the signifigance of it or what it were for until Flash tossed one into the air, further adding to his beloved sister Electra's decor. As the elder priest announced himself, Blue only pinched the marble between his fingers for a short moment before letting the object roll over his fingers to be flicked into the air, the bead exploding in a shimmer of white light and splender. "Of course, Father," he replied thoughtfull to the man, placing one hand over the other.

Alison happly runs after her giggling and stands walks behind then thinking about cake looking up to her mamay and soon to be aunty happly

Demitrious looks to Aislinn expectantly having garnered the Groom's permission

Devaine_Hawk nods to LoX again, starting toward the dojo door as the others begin to take their place . Hate to leave good company, but the bride ask me to walk her down the isle and give her away in her late fathers place, even I couldn t say no

Aislinn ushered the two girls to the dojo safely, waiting in the entrance just outside the room where it was taking place. She would await for Devaine before uncloaking. The ceremony seemed to be starting. Her eyes strayed back, towards where Devaine had stayed. Hoping it wouldn't be too long..or that she wasn't disturbing him by asking him such a favor.

Flash_Guardian hears things quieting, so he makes his way over to Serielle quickly, pulling a differently colored marble out from seeming nowhere ... this one a vibrant yellow, much like the color that Flash's force powers seem to take when used. He swiftly places it in her hands. "For after the ceremony," he says, winking and quickly taking his place beside the groom.

[Flash_Guardian ] Nearby, in the room, static colors play about a small area as an image takes shape ... that of a small boy in dark grey slacks, long sleeved shirt, with white hair a curious eyes. He seems rather confused, looking around the room in surprise. "This isn't right ... the modifications aren't working ..."

Electra stood beside Aislinn waiting to walk out of the dojo "i can't wait for my wedding....."seh said in awe-for once her electricity not lighting the area

Demitrious sees that the important persons are ready and nods his head "then let us begin"

LoX grins brightly, then nods once. "Good." A quick slap on the back. "Soon. Possibly sooner than you think. This is outside Keep City proper, closer to old Kiruitseki holdings. My lands. Anyway, the Leila made their residence rather close, so it'll be a long ride out either way. I sort of took Lani out there for our first date. Pretty place, but deadly if you don't know what your doing. Anyhow, I'll be accompanying you for the introductions, then I must bow out. Scorpios doesn't like outside influence or interference. When you make it through and I'm sure you will, I'll be waiting for introductions. Just remember one thing. Nothing is ever as real as you'd think it is. Keep that foremost in your thoughts. Alright? Now...go enjoy your whatever. I'm leaving for now."

Devaine_Hawk steps next to Aislinn , looking decidedly out of place in the role she ask of him but doing his best to fill some very big shoes . HE offers her his arm and waits.

Serielle shoots Flash a quick smile as he hands her the marble, as she waits in place to walk before the Bride. Her brow arches, however, as the image appears...

Electra nods "ok Serielle first then me then Alison then you Aislinn" she said looking over to the maid of honor

[Demitrious ] *que organ

Aislinn uncloaked herself, threading her arm through Devaine's now. She smiled, gently saying to Alison. "See the basket of petals? Take them and start walking down the aisle, and toss them as you go, sweetie." It looked like it was time. Everything was ready, and everyone in place. She would have more than welcomed LoX to stay, if he wished to.

Flash_Guardian looks now to just where Serielle is standing ... the position of the maid of honor. Flash closes his eyes and looks down away, an embarrassed smile on his face.

Alison nodded her head feeling a little nerviose but keept her mind on cake wich cheered her up takeing the baskit happly and listiong to what Elrctra said she noded and waited

Aislinn smiled at Electra. "I cannot wait to see yours either..." She paused at her line up, then thought about it. That was right, the flower girl did go just before the bride! She forgot...

Blank glances about, there was something fowl in the air, but he figured that it was safe enough with all the 'formidable' people around. Time for him to do his disappearing act then. "May the shadows fall away into the night." With that, the man slowly faded from sight. He was still there, just invisible. Teleportation would have been too distacting for the wedding. The transparent rogue slipped out the back, avoiding the group stationed there. Once outside and out of direct sight he then activated his teleportation. No use for an invetor in a wedding, plus he was needed else where.

[Flash_Guardian ] The small boy, actually near where Alison is, looks quickly around to the group, biting his lip. "Tamoril should be here, but something is wrong ... can I help somehow?" He seems eager, if timid about intruding where he was not invited. Though perhaps there is a place for a young boy like Triad?

Slave wanders around for a bit and finds a boat. How convienent. She desides to take a boat ride towards the island. It took her a minute, but she didnt mind. If anyone was looking her way, they would notice that whatever light was shining reflected off her skin. It gave her a soft pearlesence glow.

LoX appears to have things on his mind and more importantly, appears blatantly out-of-place and uncomfortable. The offer, if extended would have been declined, his time is shorter and shorter these days. A hand drifts to his brow, then shoots a two-fingered salute. "Oh and Dev? Tell Flash that I saw Bida not too long ago...not sure if that means anything to him anymore, but she's still alive or whatever. Later mate." With that, he strides away, the shadows reclaiming his form.

Electra blinked and looked down at the boy..Triad "hey...Aislinnn we still need a ring bearer right?"

Aislinn handed a pillow to Triad, with the rings. She smiled softly at the young boy. "You, shall be the ring bearer, if you do not mind?" She nodded at Electra's words. With the organ already playing, it was time to start this event.

Electra nodded "ok now the line up is Serielle me Triad Alison Aislinn- lets go!" she sparked some electricity

[Flash_Guardian ] The small boy accepts the pillow eagerly, if awkwardly, holding it with great care, eyes wide as he frantically searches his records. "Traditional humanoid ceremonies ... weddings ... ring-bearer ..." Closing his eyes for a few seconds, he eventually comes to with a more confident and happy smile. "Easy." He looks to the others now, ready.

ClaudiusBlue shifted slightly in his position, his arms crossed in front of him, the man dressed in his best. All of this had come to him so quickly and suddenly it seemed. The man had little idea what to do other than await what were to happen next. Everybody was here, even people he had never met before. Such a gathering for this, their wedding... As everybody moved into their respective places, the man couldn't help but smile, as nervous as he was. There was little reason to be shy or bashful or even frightened of anything now. This was what he had been waiting for. Finally, after so long, he would be a married man.

Devaine_Hawk nods at LoX , then nods to Triad you ll make a good ring boy or what ever , what exactly do I do here ? he asks Aislinn. If any one looks more out of place than LoX , it s him standing there in his dress blue Marine uniform, with her holding his arm!

Serielle nods to Electra, then begins to step slowly up the aisleway, a broad smile upon her face. What a marvelous occasion...and how convenient...Flash is the best man....that Aislinn, she thinks to herself as she nears the end of the short journey.

Aislinn smiled at Devaine, waiting for the other girls to start before they did. Serielle, then the rest of the line up as Electra had said. She whispered softly to the one giving her away. "I am nervous too, you are not the only one." She teased softly. "You walk me down the aisle, and when the priest asks who gives this woman away, you say you do in the place of my father."

Electra nodded back to Serielle and followed her out also smiling cheerfully like always she suppossed she looked at the nervousness on Ben's face and fought laughter as they neared the altar

Devaine_Hawk nods to her, he can do that . If they look close there is almost smile on his lips now . He might not be the marrying type him self , but he s proud as hell to be the one walking her down that isle in her fathers place . He hopes where ever her parents are he makes them proud as a replacement.

[Flash_Guardian ] The small boy with white hair, dressed all in dark grey clothing, now slowly and reverently makes his way down the aisle, taking care not to step on any of the petals upon the floor as he slowly makes his way up to the front. Once he gets near the 'altar,' he moves to his appointed place.

Demitrious waits, somewhat impatiently, for the procession to finish it's trip down the isle

Alison keeped thinking cake over and over agim to herself she steps down the Aisle she begins to to drop pettels from side to side in from the baskit as she reached the alter standing close to Electra

Electra bent down to ALison's ear and whispered to her "the flower girl sits in the front row ok? Dev'll sit beside you in a minute kiddo" she said smiling

Alison noded feeling embarsed goes and sits in the front row now waching happly as she blushers a little

Serielle grins at Flash, chuckling quietly at the blush upon his face. Before Demitrious began his schpiel, however, there were some urgent subjects she had to speak with Flash about...albeit rather quietly...

Flash_Guardian just ... puffs out his chest and clasps his hands behind his back proudly to watch everything ... if his memory is correct, next should be the bride, for whom everyone should rise ...

Aislinn began to walk now, with her on Devaine's arm. He, dressed very handsomely in his marine uniform, and she was radiant. Wearing a gown of luminescent white, trimmed with a silver lining. It shone all on its own, looking like a cloud that bore the sunlight's rays after a storm. Complete with a royal train, which followed her and covered the aisle behind her majestically. A diadem was about her head, a ruby sparkling upon her brow, borrowed from the lady Serielle. The silver bracer was on her left wrist, and the shining sword sheathed around her waist. It didn't actually seem to out of place, as it fit the lady. Her veil covered her hair and features, though it seemed her hair had been pinned up, and the exquisite curls framing her so achingly beautifully. Though it was seen through the soft silvery white haze of said veil.

Demitrious looks sternly down upon the arriving 'Father of the Bride' and says in his best booming voice "Who has come to give this woman away?"

Electra watches Aislinn walk down the isle admireing how well the silver lining matched her beauty

Devaine_Hawk looks at the priest and offers her arm to Blue that would be me he whispers, Then he finds his place by sure luck on the bench nest to Alison, seeing as he has no better idea than her what he s doing !

Demitrious grins down at Dev, "good enough for me"\

PhorenNarqu watched as she walked up the aisle, struggling to contain his tears. Succeeding only by an inch. He would do nothing to spoil this day, and so he kept silent, merely watching. But inside, inside he was in agony. Inside he was screaming until he was breathless, and even then he did not stop. But outside, he wore his killing face. Blank and emotionless.

Demitrious looks up to address the entire crowd, "Dearly bleoved, we are gathered here today to join these two people in the bonds of holy matrimony"

[ClaudiusBlue ] The man's mismatched eyes had been gliding over the people who had decided to attend, to the others proceeding down the isle, towards the elder priest he knew so well. The many thoughts of what the future might bring them washed through his mind now: A family, a house of their own, what they could make of the future... All of these filled him with the same kind of warmth he felt everytime he was within Aislinn's presence, the man finding her to be above all things and beyond his own expectations of perfection and poise. Her very image appeared in his mind even now, the man lost in his own hopes and dreams. But soon did he drift out of his daze did he see Aislinn in her magnificent gown walking down the isle with Dev. His leg's grew a little shaky, although he were hardly visible as he stood and awaited them. Oh, how glorious she looked... Spenderous. As his bride and Dev approached, the bard offered him a happy and thankful nod as he accepted Lasy Aislinn's arm, flashing her a wide smile before facing front.

Flash_Guardian glances sidelong to the place where he had placed that ivory carving of an angel, standing protectively with sword drawn. As he watches, a hovering mechanical creature stealthily makes its way into the dojo to the figurine, lifting it up into the air with some kind of pale white ripple beam, then departing just as swiftly as it had come to take it back to the Triad. Flash would then look back to Serielle, nodding and winking at her, taking to mean that everything would be fine.

Alison tilted her head thinking eveyone must like cake if they will dress this funny she then looks to Dev never beliving he liked cake so much as well she sighed and wached the event

Demitrious looks down to the couple in front of him, "Have you come here freely and without resevation to give yourself to each other in marriage?"

Serielle follows Flash's gaze to the statue, then watches in confusion as the construct departs with it. She shoots him a curious look.

Electra looked on in awe they looked so good to gether it was all she could do to not blow u pthe area with electrcity instead she let it flow out in little shapes of butter flies and fly around the groom and bride though not enough to be too distracting

Aislinn slid her arm in Blue's awaiting one, after Devaine had given her away. Whispering a soft thank you in his ear, before he walked to sit down. Her violet eyes peered through the veil, and she gave Claudius such a dazzling smile. She felt a little nervous, but took a small breath, and her attention quickly went to the priest. Currently, the empath was siphoning off her abilities, not wanting to get too overwhelmed by all the emotion in everyone. She had enough in her as it was!

[Aislinn ] "Yes, I have." She also answers.

Demitrious grins and looks to Blue

Flash_Guardian just gives Serielle a thumbs up, stealthily and briefly, not wanting to disrupt the ceremony as he stands there watching. Truly, a bittersweet smile graces his lips now.

Reiken seems some what lost on this island, never really being hear himself, but hearing of Aislinn new found love, and the cerimonies that she would be going through , he was curious as to what they were, not being from the realm of mortals. Approaching the dojo, his opens the door silently and strides , staying back away from everyone and watching ahead. Thoats of recent pass run through his head, ment to be alone for ever i geuss...

ClaudiusBlue had tenderly taken her arm within his own, his doubts and fears flying away with the butterflies his dear sister had freed into room. Two men were in agreement today, a rivalry called to a close as he stood before the alter with his beloved standing beside him. What a feeling... "Yes," he replied to the priest, awaiting his next words.

Devaine_Hawk just sits there on the front row, out of place, and uncertain what to do if any thing . He glances around as the door opens in the back. Looking at the new comer.

[Demitrious ] then if there is anyone present who sees a reason that these two should not be wed let him speak now or forever hold his piece

Flash_Guardian glances around at the others in the room, remaining silent ... though he does give the late arrival his brief and suspicious attention.

Viimz shifts closer....peering down.....hissing black spittle at Demit....head tilting as it studies Blue...this person had changed in some way since their meeting in the church.....its taloned hand playing..rubbing over the shells around its neck...feeling the shape of the shark's tooth....lips pulling back to reveal its razor sharp teeth at the sight of pretty Aislinn

[Flash_Guardian ] The small boy stands there holding his pillow, never seeming to tire. He's hardly moved from his spot, other than to look around at everyone nearby, taking in each wonderful sight that he can. Everything is new for him, and he doesn't want to miss a thing.

Demitrious waits only for a moment before proceeding to the rest, not wanting to temp some of those present "At this time I ask that if either of you have prepared wedding vows that you would would recite them

PhorenNarqu opened his mouth. But didn't make a sound. He would not ruin this for her. His face had changed from his killing mask. Into one of pain and sorrow. Regret. Hate, and others, all at once.

Electra smiled seeing that her electric btuterflies were helping her brother they were now fluttering around the room like fariy lights and since she was using her magic she was able to vent it so wasn't exploding in excitment. she looked around the room wondering if there was anyone who didn't want her brother to marry

Devaine_Hawk lets his eyes play over those gathered there, the look saying it all as they pass over certain ones. Even if they do object, that look tells them to just is there and shut up.

Serielle 's gaze begins to travel a bit...she had a curious feeling...something...dark was out there. Immediately, she glances back at Phoren...but he is as quiet as he had been all evening....it had to be something else. She shakes it off, however, eager to hear the couples' vows. From what she had heard, Claudius was quite the poet...

[Flash_Guardian ] As the ceremony proceeds, those down below in the dojo can almost feel the air lighten and brighten for some reason. It is almost as if a particularly powerful angel is watching down over everyone from far above, showering the dojo with holiness.

Alison ruffles in her seat looking board and worning where the cake was she then looked up to Dev "when is it time for cake" she says in a wisper to him

Reiken gaze shifts all around the room, stopping on one in the croud Phoren ..'What the hell is he doing here' he would ask himself, remebering all the wonderful times , and beautiful arguments, that the two of them once encountered in, way back. But for some reason or another Nadya always seemed to keep things cool between them. But now that she wasn't hear, what was to happen if they were to start an argue. Hoping it doesn't come to that.... The unfamiliar man standinging only 5"7 with a musclar frame, and two long silver braids of hair rolling down past the front of his shoulders down to his knees, and the massive white feathered withs, that are stained a light red color folded off his back.

[Alison ] wondering*

Devaine_Hawk holds up a finger to his lips to shush Alison, after the mushy part I think he whispers back with a grin .

Alison nods swinging her legs a little and wachers the mushy part she was not to kean on mushy things but thinking for cake it was all worth it

[ClaudiusBlue ] The bard had taken a deep breath, a steady breath as the elder priest asked of his vows. "Aislinn..." he started, turning to her now. "Through the many years that passed as I walked the desolate lands of the far north, I had wished for something... I had no known whether what I had been seeking were treasure and jewels, fame and glory, comfort and decadance. My wandering soul had been driven forward, not by wanderlust, but by the need to be fulfilled and to fulfill. I had all but lost what hopes I had until I we had crossed paths that fateful day. Twice did we fall for one another, a sign of what were to be for us. It were not fortune, but fate's hand that brought us together. And forever do I swear to you my life, my honor, and my heart to be yours for all eternity and beyond..." the bard recited with the utmost sincerity, his hand gently giving her own a reassuring squeeze as he looked through her veil towards her enchanting violet pools

[ClaudiusBlue ] *lost hope until we had crossed...

Flash_Guardian watches Blue as he speaks. It isn't easy to see, but the corners of his eyes begin to grow moist, and his lower lip is trembling slightly. Still, though, he stands there silently with his hands dutifully clasped behind him. No matter the shadowy side that had crossed with his friend ... Blue was still inside there, somewhere, after all. Flash is glad that he is at last finding his happiness in Aislinn today.

Viimz dark eyes widen suddenly ..hissing madly as those same eyes dart everywhere....its skin beginning to bubble and boil...its wings opening stretching as it's tongue flickers out like a long snake small wisps of smoke drifting from it as the wings curl around it...black liquid oozing in droplets from its coal eyes....as it falls back on its perch

Aislinn melted with such words, a smile ever present on her lovely petals of lips. She took a soft breath, her voice finding itself. Soft and velvety, filled with love. Her vow was long.. but from the heart. "On your wedding day, as you trade vows,no ordinary moment hurries by. You partake, as far as time allows, of something more than time and Earth and sky: Unknowable, invisible, yet there; resplendent to the heart if not the face; more than both of you, yet less than air..."

[Aislinn ] "A transcendental act conferring grace. Reason might say, How can this be true? Return then to the heart, for this is love. In making vows, you make one out of two, a mystery beyond what words can prove."

Devaine_Hawk sits on the front row, listening to Blue s words . He s done a lot of traveling an wondering him self in his days . Some how he doesn t hear wedding bells in his future though, and being pre cognitive if they where there he d hear them . Unlike Alison, he looks forward to the mushy part being over not for cake , but so that he van change cloths and get a smoke , but he s happy for the couple as well at the same time , in his own way.

[Aislinn ] "Go then as one flesh, one home, one heart. Each still as a whole, yet also now a part. I cannot promise you a life of sunshine; I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold; I cannot promise you an easy pathway that leads away from change or growing old. But I can promise all my heart's devotion; A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow; A love that is ever true and ever growing; A hand to hold in yours through each 'morrow. Aye, I shall marry you."

Stephany wanders over to the training facilaty to find that a wedding is going on. She stops, not sure of what to do. She was hopeing to see Flash and the others again, but she didnt want to intrude. She stood in the background.

Demitrious grins so wide he nearly splits from ear to ear "now for the fun part, Do you Claudius Blue take take Aislinn to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold ing good times and bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and honour her all the day of your life until death do you part?"

[Flash_Guardian ] A subtle purplish glow can be seen now, even beneath the layer's of Flash's dark vest and white undershirt. This time, his reaction is more visible, his eyes closing shut. He actually shivers, drawing in a sharp and steadying breath for a moment before at last opening his eyes and composing himself once more, looking straight at the lovely couple. Those who are up at the front of the room, Demitrious and Serielle, may see a single tear slowly wind its way down his cheek, hidden from the rest of the crowd.

Devaine_Hawk thinks he missed some thing......

[ClaudiusBlue ] Aislinn's words had touched him deeply, what she offered him seemed to make his vow seem pale in comparison. Averting his gaze for only one moment, the noble looked to the elder priest and offered a quick nod. "I do..."

Aislinn squeezed his hand now in return, feeling his emotions. She reassured him with that simple gesture, that his vow had made her heart sing with joy. "I do." She responded as well.

Stephany smiled as she watched the couple. She turns away for a moment. SHe didnt even know these people and she wanted to cry. how corny is that?

Serielle , so engrossed by the beautiful words spoken by the happy couple, almost fails to notice the tear caress Flash's face...her eyes travel to his, and her right hand follows suit, caressing his clenched hands delicately.

[Demitrious ] Aislinn, do you take Claudius Blue to be your husband? To have and to hold, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love him and honour him all the days of your life till death do you part?

Demitrious motions to the ringbearer

Aislinn squeezed his hand now in return, feeling his emotions. She reassured him with that simple gesture, that his vow had made her heart sing with joy. "I do." She responded as well.

Reiken looks up to Aislinn, and even back down to Phoren, the ones who used to be his friends, but it is apparent that they have moved on and forgotten his existance as did Nadya.. along with everyone else hanging by a thread in the troubled mind of this damned soul. He couldn't help but have a joyous feelings for his friend, but at the same time feeling abit of jealiousy. But there was no point in bothering them now... as the figure slowly moves outside taking one last glance back with a soft smile. He lifts off into the air, soring with the power of his arch angel wings.

Viimz eyes narrow as it lowers one blistered wing...peering over the top ...an arm reaching out from under it to pull it upon the perch once more....the blistering flesh moving and bursting in various places as dribbles of black liquid track's its way over the oily being

[Flash_Guardian ] The small, white haired boy nods obediently upon recieving his cue, stepping forward and placing himself next to the two lovers, holding the pillow up, placing the rings within easy reach. His work is almost finished now. A simple part to play, but he is happy to have recieved the chance to not only witness this ceremony, but participate as well.

PhorenNarqu heard her words. And his hands were no longer limp, they were balled into fists, his knuckles, and fingers, and the rest of him, for that matter, pale. Fingers digging into his palms, for he had forsaken the bandages for this. Opening old cuts and creating new ones. Hanging his head in incredible pain, tears flowing, along with blood. At that moment he wished someone would finish him, and put him out of the agony this caused him. But he stayed as still as stone, and just as silent. Biting his tongue.

[Demitrious ] You have declared your consent before these witnesses and this office. What has been joined today let man never put assunder.

Flash_Guardian now steps forward, realizing his time has come. He makes his way to the couple, swallowing back something as he reaches for the ring, gazing upon it a moment ... then dutifully offering it to the groom, smiling happily. Blue now can clearly see his moist eyes and the trail that the tear has taken down his cheek.

Devaine_Hawk grins and nods at the happy couples flowery words to one anohter , and waits for the big moment .

ClaudiusBlue returned her loving gaze with unending affection, offering a nod to Triad as he lifed the rings to them. Gently pinching his fingers around the the edge of the ring, Blue removed it from the comfort of the ringbearer's cushion and carefully, slowly, and adoringly held it to his love's delicate hand, sliding along her slender finger. It was almost over, although he felt as if it would never end. The very moment that he had been waiting and wishing for... How much joy it brought to him. All of this making this his most treasured moment.

[ClaudiusBlue ] *taking the ring from Flash, that is

Viimz movement of Flash catches its eye as it tries peering down once more....its lips being pulled back ...cracking and splitting as dribbles of black appear.......ahhh yes.......him....the sleeping one

[Demitrious ] with this ring, I thee wed, in the name of the father, the son, and the holy ghost. You may kiss the bride.

Flash_Guardian steps backward to his place to watch, waiting for it ...

Alison looking to the floor in a daze almost as she was about to fall asleep she begin to day dream about cake falling depper and depper

Stephany turns to see Flash give the couple a ring. She smiles.

Flash_Guardian catches Stephany's late entrance, smiling at her happily, glad she could attend. He hadn't seen her in a while, it seems. Then he looks to Serielle now, his look indicating she should get ready for something.

Devaine_Hawk gets he fealing he's being watched, but he's not asleep, eeys are wide open, he's just being respectfull and quite, as well as a little lost in his own thoughts for a time .

Aislinn slid the ring onto Claudius' finger after it being given to her, smiling softly under her veil. Whispering softly. "With this ring, I thee wed." She listened to the priest's words, and awaited Blue to lift the veils and give her the first kiss as husband and wife.

Serielle nods, snapping back to the reality of the wedding. Something had been distracting her...lurking in the back of her mind, hidden within the shadows of subconscious awareness...back to focus now, she takes a few strides towards the lovely couple, taking the ring from Triad, and handing it to Aislinn with a watery-eyed smile.

PhorenNarqu kept his eyes on the ground for this. Looking up would steal the threads that held his sanity intact. At this moment, he was feeling more pain than he had ever felt in his life. Wether it be emotional, or physical, this was the worst. A knife somehow appearing in one of his clenched fists. And he brought his cloak around to cover his arms, and cut it open. Cutting a word into it, before he dropped the knife, which landed silently upon his boots.

Flash_Guardian steps back and away now, his presence no longer needed. He quickly tucks the pillow under one arm and turns back to watch.

ClaudiusBlue man loosed a deeply held sigh, a breath that he had lond since been waiting all his life to release. His life was now hers and hers was now his. They were united under the watchful eyes of the Lord above and their union consecrated. Moving the tip of one silver talon and the velvety end of his finger under her veil, he revealed her face for all of them to see, for him to see. "Aislinn..." he whispered tenderly to her, moving so close that the tips of their nose rubbed together. His gaze locked with hers, not to search for answers or find comfort though. He had found it in her... Closing his eyes, his gold and blue eyes, the touched his lips to hers in the kiss that would seal their fate. They were now married, together, and forever behelden to each other. He could hope for nothing more.

Devaine_Hawk is on his feet and on his way to the door as soon as the kiss is over . It s not meant to be rude, but those who know Dev know he can t sit still for long . He stops if he s spoken to, long enough to sure the speaker he ll be right back. If he seems rude, he waves it off as need for a smoke or to get at of the stifling dress uniform. Once he s out side he has a cancer stick lit and hanging from his lips . He walks to his hammock and picks up a duffle bag lying near it on the ground , slinging it over his shoulder . Making his way down to the beach , he ducks behind some rocks there for a few minutes . Reemerging , his clothes have changed from the dress Blue uniform to a black pair of sweat pants , and matching tee shirt . Storm Blossom is still held in place on his left hip, in her scabbard by a equipment belt around his waist .. He walk out in clear view and takes a long draw off his smoke, not sure what to do with him self .

Flash_Guardian nods to Serielle. Time for the golden marble ...

Viimz wrinkles it's snout ....a flicker of its tongue once more as it studies Flash.......not long now....soon it will be time...ahhh and then what feastings there would be

Serielle nods, smiling broadly, her sapphire eyes twinkling. Gripping the golden marble, she tosses it once or twice in her hand before launching into the air, to burst against the ceiling above.

Aislinn felt her heart flutter like the delicate wings of a butterfly. Her hands slid up to her beloved's neck, gently placing them there. Ashe revealed her face, a few tears of joy sparkled like the most precious gems, down her cheeks. Crimson curls had been pinned up, and a gew spiraled down her face to frame that lovely facade. Her rose colored lips met with his, pressing in the most tender loving kiss. Indeed, there had been only a few kisses in the history that had been the most pure, most true. In her heart, this blew them all away.

[Flash_Guardian ] As the golden marble impacts with the ceiling, it seems to explode in a brilliant shower of golden sparkles and a loud whistling, creating a brilliant show of light for all around as the yellow motes of energy trickle harmlessly down throughout the air. Fireworks for the happy couple.

[Aislinn ] *As he

Alison blinks looking up at Dev "time for cake yet" she said in a rather whiney voice looking upset and pouting

[Aislinn ] *and a few

Flash_Guardian , overcome with his joy, just starts clapping madly ... and laughing. Pure, wonderful, heartfelt laughter as the air is filled with light and mirth. Another tear rolls down his face ... a happy tear on this happiest of days.

Jaia-Asumoto moved quietly into the Dojo, her boots making little noise at all. She had caught the vows from outside and knew she had arrived as she always had in the past. Just a little late, but just in time. Time was never a convenience for her, and as she found...it was never a convenience for many in this place either. But right now, that did not concern her. The wedding was in its final throes and she had just gotten there in time. Moving quietly out of the way, her eyes hidden by the sunglasses, which suited her, strangely. Out of respect for the sanctity of this marriage, she had unslung the sheathed Ichijmond from her shoulder, and carried it by her side in her left hand. She had left her trench coat at then entrance. She did not remove her sunglasses, but her eyes were brown, and warm...as she smiled to herself. The kiss that sealed everything...the whole deal, and relationship. May it last long. Looking at Phoren, her smile faded quickly, her brown eyes hidden from view by her sunglasses, turning to that --

Stephany smiles and claps when the happy couple kiss. She follows the others to the main dojo.

Demitrious lowers his face with a sigh of relief and remains that way for a few seconds then quickly shuts his large tome and climbs down to a seat, but not before two dots of wetness appear upon the bound parchment

Devaine_Hawk starts back to the dojo, puffing on the smoke and thinking to him self . HE reaches the out side wall, and leans up against the door frame , watching the ones inside , as Jai steps in just before he makes it back . Reaching up to tap the ear ring in his left lobe , he whispers low enough that only the ones meant to hear it will , if they have their transmitters on them .

Jaia-Asumoto -- glacier blue, which spoke of danger. But she would shake her head, the smell of something viler...somewhere, close...yet distant. She knew the scent, as she was hunting it, as much as it thought otherwise. It had chosen these people as its prey...and in turn, she had chosen it, as hers. She was more than a match for it. But, that all faded, her homely brown eyes and smile reigniting at the union of the pair. Oh, it was an interesting match. A match, which looked promising, and something she and others would watch with undying interest. A hope for the future. She leant back against the wall, folding her arms with Ichijmond well covered. She just took a mental picture, the rebirth of good old days...in the newest of times. Much had changed, but so much hadn't. Surprisingly, Jaia had grown in height, almost as tall as Flash if they stood back to back...But she wasn't really focusing on any of that. Aislinn, and Blue. Not Claudius, not Benjamin...Just Blue. The fireworks, were impressive, and added --

Jaia-Asumoto -- the affect. The happiest day the Island had seen in some time, since Flash had found it. She would remember it well, in the future, as would all of those present...of that she had no doubt.

ClaudiusBlue had only pulled himseld away once before moving back forward with another kiss, his arms wrapping around her in a loving embrace, a loud and lighthearted laugh filling the dojo's grounds. "Thank you, Demitrious! Thank you, Flash! Thank you, everybody!" he cheered as his spirit soared, still clinging to Aislinn in her beautiful gown. "So..." he said in a rather quieter voice. "Claudius Caelan, is it? Blue Caelan? Either way, I am yours to keep! Forever and ever more!" His voice had grown from a whisper to a excited exclaimation of his joy.

Stephany watched the happy couple for a moment. Then she walked outside and sighed. She felt happy for them. Truly happy.

Aislinn reached up in turn, pressing her earring to speak back softly to its addresser. Then gazing to her new husband with a bright smile. "Thank you all!" She laughed happily as she saw the fireworks in the air, and everyone seemed so happy. Well, almost everyone anways. "Claudius Blue Caelan?" She murmered. Her full name, being Aislinn Saorise Caelan. He was taking her last name, in honor of her deceased family.

PhorenNarqu quickly stood, and walked to Aislinn, a loud clattering noise heard as the knife fell to the ground. And when he stood by the two, his face covered still, he brought something out. Every gold piece he had, in a small pouch. And he poured it all out onto the ground, at least fifty there. "This, is my gift to you. I wish you both a happy life." The smell of blood was about the coins, and if they caught sight of his arm, they would see the cuts, but he would already be leaving, at a pace a little too slow to be a run, but too fast for a walk.

Viimz shifts its gaze from the group to the lone man puffing on a stick......its snout wrinkles....eyes narowing as it still oozed black liquid....before leaning back a little by now a pool of the liquid had gathered around it....sticky gooey stuff...

Flash_Guardian is absolutely enraptured. His had been a long life, and this ... moments like this were his very reason for living. Excitement, thrill, happiness and joy ... all of these represented the best things in life. Flash is so happy for the pair, as is clear on his face. In the midst of his joy, he can hear his wrist-cuff beckoning to him, bringing it to his smiling face to listen. At length, the smile seems to broaden, eyes lighting with hope. He can be seen visibly shaking where he stands, until at last he can't contain his mirth. He cups his hands to his mouth, leans back, and crows his joy to the sky above. "WHOOO!!!"

Alison was still sitting there still not really understand what was going on all she new is if she dressed funny she gets cake and she had to sit though a mushy talk with no cake she begin to get rather upset

Devaine_Hawk leans against the out side wall of the dojo, getting that feeling he s being watched again . Inside eh can hear Flash even with out the com link . He taps the ear ring again , opening a channel to them all happy endings for every one , right ? he whispers

Serielle wipes the tears from her eyes. She was so overjoyed...it almost all seemed...unreal, how much she had grown to love these people in such a short period of time. When she hears Flash's...bellow, is it? she turns to him, her grin wider than a jack-o-lantern. She steps closer to him, looking up at the tall man, her moist eyes resembling nothing less than the grandest of seas....

ClaudiusBlue tipped his head forward in a genteel nod, a smile upon his face. "Claudius Blue Caelan it is..." But soon his quiet moment had been shattered by the clammer of coins being poured before his beloved, the man in the hood saying one thing before he hastely made his retreat to leave them be. The noble simply watched the man leave, his gaze fixed to the dojo's south entrance for a time after he had left. What was he to do? The man was beyond consolation and too far pulled into his dreary and dark existance to be removed from his brooding. But never the less, the bard was thankful that he had shown up to watch the wedding, if only for Aislinn's sake. "We will..." he said in but a whisper, turning back to his love. "We will."

Jaia-Asumoto found herself lost in the quiet joy, a silent participant...until Flash's hooting, caused her to wince, "Ack...He won't be needed a loudspeaker anytime to soon." chuckling to herself, she bowed her head toward the Far end of the Dojo, as was regulation in all Dojos . She would make her way outside quietly, with a final glance back inside. She made her way out into the open, stretching her arms, which were protected by the long, leather sleeves of her jumpsuit. Her boots made small imprints in the ground, as she walked lightly as always. She saw Devaine leaning against the wall, as she had been doing inside of the Dojo. Inclining her head lightly, her Ki began to burn quietly inside of her. He was the object of her prey for the time being, it seemed. She shook her head gently and pulled out a cigarette placing the end in-between her lips. She made her way over to Devaine, sunglasses still keeping her more or less unrecognisable, but she had a feeling he would know who she was anyway. She would speak in her -

Alison tugged on her mothers dress looking up to her "mummy i know why eveyone is crying no one got cake there all upset" she noded wisefully

Flash_Guardian swings forward with his fists clenched at his sides, his lungs now empty but his heart full. He glances all around the room, at each face he can see save Serielle. At length, he approaches the couple, placing an arm around each one and giving them both a most improper yet heartfelt shake of excitement. Just a little shake before coming to rest, sparing a proud glance to each of them. "Congratulations, you two," he speaks in a low voice, squeezing them together slightly.

Aislinn 's eyes widened now, as she saw Phoren. Catching some of the blood as he poured the coins to her feet. She didn't want this gift. She would have rather him not hurt himself, than any of the coins. DIsturbed, she became quiet for a moment. Her gaze looking back up at Claudius, unsure what to do. She touched her earring, whispering softly into the comm piece. "I hope so. For everyone."

Jaia-Asumoto -- quiet, yet unmistakeable voice, addressing him in an aloof, friendly manner, "Wouldn't happen to have a lighter, would you?" she would ask, indicating the cigarette in her mouth that remained, unlit thus far..

Devaine_Hawk tosses Jai a smoke over his shoulder, and the lighter just to be sure she gets what she wants . Some times being border line pre cognitive comes in handy here you go he mutters , still looking around the clearing , and muttering to some one or some thing under his breath, almost a taunt still.

Flash_Guardian catches sight of movement at his left, turning to see the maid of honor approaching. He beams happily at her in a smile equal in proportions to her own ... but then, at least for Flash, the rest of the party seems to dull and fade into a kind of slow motion, the smile gradually falling from his face as he seems to stare at her, as if reminded of something ... something he'd rather not think about now. Flash now seems quite awkward, glancing between Aislinn, Claudius, and Serielle, relinquishing his hold on the wedded couple and stepping back and away. "Excuse me," he mutters in a low voice, before his head falls and he sweeps himself from the room, exiting into the central arena.

Aislinn adds that she feels the tug and smiles down at Alison, gently touching her hair. "Yes! You might be right... Well, the cake will come soon. I would not want anyone to cry because they are not having cake!" She managed a smile for the child.

Viimz tail whips around from behind....it barely catching the words spoken yet catch them it did.....its lips pulling back ...talons as always of late tinkeling with the object around its neck...these beings were indeed foolish did they not know its master was lord of taunts....master of lies..all powerful...that they are indeed playthings....chuckling softly...ahh yes playthings amongest others...

Alison giggled and smiled back at her happly and said louldy so eveyone could here her "its ok people you dont got to cry the cake is coming"

[ClaudiusBlue ] The offering Phoren had presented did not receive a second glance from either of his eyes, neither his shining gold nor his deep lapis. No matter the intention behind the coins they had received from Phoren, the noble could only find that it had been a cruel gestures towards his newly wed wife, as compassionate a soul as she possessed. One black velveteen finger gently carress one of her silken cheeks before falling to her shoulder, his eyes locked with hers. "It will be." His voice sounded hushed but not hidden from the ears of others, the bark ignoring the pile of gold set before him and his beloved wife." Hearing the call of Alison's need for a sweet snack, he hesitantly pulled himself away from his heart's affection and placed both hands behind his back as he usually had been seen. The man did his best not to feel any disturbing feelings, for his own sake as well as everybody elses.

[Flash_Guardian ] The small white haired boy seems to have been long since forgotten ... but he doesn't mind. He is content, as he always has been, to watch from afar and carefully study. So many unique people, and so special a moment. Admittedly it all seems to him to be completely symbolic, not understanding much of it. But in his own way, he can still appreciate.

Aislinn also was squeezed with Blue, as Flash hugged them. She smiled softly to him, whispering softly. "Thank you." Nodding as he excused himself, but looking concerned. Her violet eyes swung onto Serielle and she smiled knowingly. Softly. Regularily, Aislinn would go see what was wrong with her friend. Afterall, an empath was good for emotions. She knew this was Serielle's turn, though.

Serielle 's gaze follows Flash as he retreats, her joyful expression quickly fading. As he leaves her sight, her gaze drops to the floor, trained there...unwilling to shift, unwilling to move. Her lip trembles, and tears form once more, though they do not carry the joy they had earlier this evening...

Jaia-Asumoto catches both, and slips the smoke into her side pocket before lighting the cigarette already prepared. She would walk slowly to be standing to Devaine's left, behind him by a metres distance. She looked up at the sky, before exhaling a smoky breath. She looked about, noticing the taunts weren't getting him anywhere...or at least it seemed that way. Looking straight ahead, she would shake her head quietly before removing the cigarette, speaking again in a voice a little more solidified than before, "I suggest drawing it away from the Island. Things are too good right not to risk spoiling. However, if you would like my opinion...taunts will get you nowhere. I'm paid to hunt things like it everyday. To me, it s just my job. This one I'm doing for the married couple, as a wedding present...you could say. So, I'm hunting it down." she smiled quietly, noting the creature's spike in thoughts. She could not read it's thoughts directly...but her Ki, against it's own...could give her a rough idea. It had no idea. --

Demitrious begins the trip to rl stopping long enough to place a blessing over the lucky couple

Devaine_Hawk continues toward the tree line away from the dojo and the others . Putting him self out there alone, almost painting a bull s-eye on his back. Maybe eh doesn t know what s watching him, or maybe he don t care? The way he thinks if trouble is on the way the least he can do is try and lire it away from the reception and the others . Soon he disappears beyond the trees, following the path back to the beach again. Still he whispers under his breath. what s wrong ?scared ?you should be ? Ever hear a demon scream? Or beg? You will ?

Aislinn parted her lips, to speak to Serielle. Softly. "Go to him." She said, knowing her good friend wanted to. It was not her place to comfort Flash right now. It was someone else's now. Her eyes looked down to Alison, then to Claudius. Even the gesture, couldn't make her unhappy. Not in this moment. "We shall get the cake soon, sweetie. Now, you have a daddy too." She touched Alison's nose.

Alison giggeled happly and noded she huged her mothers leg for cofeet and smiled she was so happy at the moamnt feeling her life to be perfect

Jaia-Asumoto -- Placing the cigarette back between her lips, she swung Ichijmond over her shoulder and sighed quietly. It was either there, watching them or, as she would make verbally clear to Devaine, "Does this 'thing' have a name?" she would hesitate on any mention of plane hoping. She wasn't sure if it was there, or not...so she wouldn't make an idiot of herself and ask. She would simply stand there, and watch...sharp eyes waiting. She was the servant of no one. She served herself, and that by far...could be worse than any Dark One. And beneath the sunglasses, her eyes turned a glacier blue; "Lure it away from the Island. I won't fight it here."

Serielle nods in response, the words once more simply swimming willy-nilly about in her head. She knows Aislinn is right, and soon moves to follow the man, her long, slender legs taking great strides. Tears continue down her face...within her heart, she knows what she feels for him...and wished only to know he felt the same...

Devaine_Hawk calls over his shoulder to Jai, it s name is mud if I set eyes on it as he moves further down the path to the beach . but that s aright, you won t have to fight it , won t be any thing left to fight when I get done with it he adds before disappearing around a bend in the trail. When he reaches the beach he throws his arms out wide and calls out . Here I am all alone big bad boogey man come and get me !!

[Flash_Guardian ] As Serielle enters the dojo, she can hear Flash's voice before she can see him. Strangely enough, he's singing. His voice is sounding from one of the corners of the room ... there he is, by one of the support pillars, leaning against it with his head down, his right fist clutching something at his chest, encased in a bright purple glow. o/' And I'd give up forever to touch you ... 'cause I know that you feel me somehow ... you're the closest to heaven that I've ever been, and I don't want to go home right now ... o/'

ClaudiusBlue 'e eyes had lowered towards the pile of coin near the alter once more before the image would go out of focus as attention was brought to the ring placed on his finger, a small smile overcoming his silent features. But the ring had been placed over the cloth of his glove, it had touched no skin. Removing his gaze from the ring that adorned his hand, the noble watched as Serielle left them and hoped for the best. The connection between her and Flash was almost tangible, visible. It could not be ignored. "Aislinn?" The man spoke up now, bringing himself back from his thoughful mood. "Let us get Alison some cake. She has waited quite patiently and deserves a reward. Would you agree to this?" he inquired in a lighter tone of voice, a smile widening beneath his finely groomed moustache.

Serielle enters the central arena, her heels mysteriously silent. She approaches the finely dressed man quietly, wiping her tears away with a small tissue. Pausing only steps from him...she searches for words....anything...but all she can find is his name..."Flash..." she murmurs, as soft as a summer wind, but carried directly to the man's ears.

Alison now looking happy at this prospent jumped up and down noddeing happly

Viimz chuckles black spittle spraying everywhere......what was this being...a fool...rising as it's dark eyes follow the image of Dev when not in sight it's senses picking up on him...head turning as it gazes back at the dojo from its perch.. such happiness ..yuk......ahhh but even there it could sense another emotion one of sadness...was that misery...snout sniffing as it picks up the individual of the emotion...ahhh it's old friend ....his time will come and soon it will be.....head whipping back around to the lone figure on the beach...arms open wide shouting....what madness is upon him

Aislinn looked down at his gloved hand as well. Almost frowning. It should be on his skin, not the glove. She looked up at him, questioningly. Why had the glove always been on? It was something she did not know. Yet, a smile broke through everything. She had faith that everything would work out. She had faith in her friends. Her new family. In him. "Yes, she certainly deserves some. And I feel the need to smoosh some of it in that perfectly trimmed moustache. It is the custom, afterall." She grinned now, teasing.

[Flash_Guardian ] o/' When all I can taste is your sweetness ... and all I can breathe is your life ... and sooner or later, it's over ... I just don't want to miss you tonight ... o/' A slight pause here, as Flash's grip on the pendant comes tighter, his eyes clenching and a definite pain sounding to his voice. o/' And I don't want the world to see me ... 'cause I don't think that they'd understand ... when everything's made to be broken ... I just want you to know who I am ... o/' Somewhere in the midst of that, Flash must have heard Serielle's voice, as he stops now, still gazing at the ground silently and clutching the amethyst close to his chest. "She's still here ... somewhere ... Bida ..." His words are only the tip of the iceberg, and Serielle can probably tell that there is more to say. Much, much more.

Serielle stares at the ground, at the small pond which forms at her feet, as her tears form and drop. She remains silent, her words escaping her...unwillingly allowing Flash to speak his mind...

Jaia-Asumoto shakes her head as Devaine moves to fight it alone. He was being cocky, but he was confident. If he had to learn a lesson, through fighting this thing...she would not stand in his way. Let him succeed or fail, she would be there to pull him out of the mess. But she muttered quietly to herself as he steadily moved away, "If it beats you...you will be in a worse state than 'mud'. I only hope you know what your doing." Placing the cigarette back in her mouth she took a long drag of its strong taste, her lungs being reinforced by her Ki, so she need not fear anything cancerous. She was human, however, so anything was still possible. Wearing sunglasses in the dark would normally be considered a bad idea, but her vision was exceptional, and her eyes were their normal cold blue. She would revel in the opportunity of witnessing this spectacle between her prey and Devaine. She did not pick sides either, as compassion was lacking, as well as a sense of morality when she took on this form of Ki. She followed --

[ClaudiusBlue ] The custom she had presented to him made his smile leave him almost immediately, although not out of dissapointment or of any horrid feeling. The bottom of his buckled shoe clacked against the hard dojo floor as he took a step forward, the soft tips of his fingers twirling the golden tip of his moustache as he moved. "Yes..." he admitted, a slight nod given to her as he stepped around his bride. "I do believe you are right," he said permissively as he circled her. "Come then. Let us eat cake!" the man said with a smile and arms open wide as he laughed.

Jaia-Asumoto -- Devaine at a distance, waiting to see who would take the role of the predator...and who of prey. Her killer instinct was screaming for some action, and if she wasn't going to be apart of it, the pair had best make something of it. However, if Devaine bit off more than he could chew, she would only help him when the lesson was learnt. But who knew? Perhaps he would prove himself a little better than she had thought. Perhaps, he would win. Who could tell? All she knew was, she wanted to watch...and that was exactly what she was going to do, until she saw fit to act. In this situation, she was the hunter...and that wasn't going to change. Even in the role of a spectator.

Alison eyes lit up at this this is what she had been waiting for the reson she wore her silly dress she follwed close behind Mr Blue happly

Flash_Guardian looks to Serielle at last ... how his heart aches, seeing that he has brought tears to her eyes once more. As her words left, they seem to have taken his own with him. He stands there for a moment, torn ... but at least this much is clear. He cannot stand seeing such a beautiful woman cry on his behalf. Slowly, he leaves his perch against the pillar to close the distance between Serielle, pulling out his handkerchief slowly and offering arms of comfort to her, pain of guilt showing on his face.

Aislinn leaned back happily in his arms for a moment, enjoying his embrace. Inside, she was worried. She could feel the emotions around her, having let her empathic abilities turn back to full once she saw Flash run off and Serielle follow. A frown as she thought, though she still had faith. Hope. That everything in the end, would work out for everyone. A happy ending. Or beginning, as she liked to think. Smiling to her start of a family, she reluctantly left Blue's embrace to walk towards the table with the cake. Alison and Claudius with her.

Devaine_Hawk has shi own way of doing things , that s the only way to put it . He knows the thing can hear him , he can just feel it some how . Does he know what he s doing ? Maybe maybe not , but he does it any way . He stands on the beach , turning in a tight circle . you crossed a line , taking a friend of mine won t stop until lone of us is dead ll kick down the gates of hell if I have to just so I can kill you and get my friend back as well get it over with he calls out to the air. Back near his hammock, if any one looks they find a large stack of very old , and some new books , all on the subject of demons . Next to those lies a lap top, if they know how to trace what he has been doing with it, they find a lot of sights with the same theme he had visited . Some one must be doing his home work ?

[Flash_Guardian ] At length, something curious happens with the boy. He looks up and away, now ... in fact, he seems to be looking directly at Viimz, wherever he may be. He sees him. He sees him clear as day, where the others may find it impossible. For now, he simply watches, staring ... almost as if waiting.

[Devaine_Hawk ] *shi = his

Serielle remains still....remains silent...as if frozen on the spot. She had heard of his old love...a woman who had disappeared some time ago. I cannot hope to replace her...what I feel for him...I know it is real....deep in my heart...but does he feel the same way? It seems these words transcend the space between them...but by no choice of hers. They are simply there...fluttering about in some ephemeral space between the two...

ClaudiusBlue had willingly released Aislinn from his grasp and grinned warmly down to Alison as he followed behind. But of Flash and Serielle... The pair had not left his mind yet. With Flash's final words did he deduce the weight of his unease, the sharp prick of lost memories returning him in an instant. Whatever the case, it was only right that he give them as much time as was necessary to work out what they need to speak of. No amount of prodding and insistance on his part would be said to try and sway how and what they felt. Floating back from the murky depths of his mind, the man offered a smile to his love and a few words as if to say that everything was going to work out, one way or another.

Viimz looks back at the dojo......there it knew it's pretty lady was housed....and the other....its talons rub together...head nodding yes....him...no harm to him yet til the right time..it's dark coal eyes close as it pictures the event...seconds only fancy indulging itself in such a whimsy thing ..jumping up suddenly as puddles of black ooze drip from its body its wings once more spread open as it takes off...pinging away

Alison hummed happly she did not have a care in the world but the disare to have cake befor she came to this island she was a hauted trouble girl but this place easer her soul

Devaine_Hawk gets the feeling that what ever it is moving further away, in his mind . When he senses that he balls his fists an shouts to the sky damn you fight me you coward !! Are you afraid of one man ? Come back !!

Aislinn didn't know what was happening outside, exactly. She also did not know exactly what was happening with Flash and Serielle, though she could feel many jumbled emotions. Silently, she prayed for the best for them both. A hand took the knife, cutting into the cake. She placed a piece onto a plate, and placed a fork next to it, lowering it to Alison. "Here is your reward." She smiled. Then took a small piece of the cake, turning to do exactly what she said. Smooshing it against Claudius' mouth, rubbing it into his perfect moustache. Now, not so perfect...

Flash_Guardian takes the initiative, then, and reaches up to dry Serielle's tears. A drop or two is wiped away with the same care as before. The connection is there, felt and very strong. Almost too strong to deny. And across the connection, words seem to echo back. For countless time, I have remained true ... never have I swayed in my devotion to any reincarnation of my love, my soul mate ... never have I loved another ... but if my heart belongs to Bida, then what is this I am feeling? How can this be? I don't understand ... His haunted eyes look to Serielle, showing her his confusion. The pendant, now released from his grip, remains with its purple crystalline glow.

Alison giggled and now sat on the floor eating what she had so be looking forwered to happly she looked up and giggled "mr Blue you look funny now"

ClaudiusBlue had barely enough time to try and resist the assault. He had been so preoccupied that the bit of cake coming straight to him came to him with some surprise, the waxed curled ends of his mustache getting pressed to his face with icing, pieces of the confections falling from his chin down to his garments and the tops of his shoes. One golden eyebrow arched as his daughter mentioned of his comical appearance, only offering a slight nod in return. "Yes. That I do," mentioned the man in a steady, calm voice as he removed a piece of the cake from its platter, holding it in his hands with a provacative look given to his beloved wife. His intent clear, the man merely lifted the piece to her face and pushed gently with one finger, creating a small indent in the new bit that adorned her beautiful face. "There. Perfect," he said rubbing his gauntlet and his glove together with a smile on his face.

Aislinn gasped in mock horror, bursting out into soft laughter. She took a finger full of icing, and assaulted his nose now. Dabbing it onto the tip with a grin. "En garde!" She exclaimed, feeling very happy in this moment.

Jaia-Asumoto watched Devaine in his rage at being left behind. She shook her head slowly, the slight curve at the edge of her mouth enough to tell anyone that she was pleased the hunt would continue with her, for now. She knew the creature had a friend in its 'care' if so gentle a word could be used to classify her condition. But she would stand there, finishing her cigarette. Once she had finished it, she would throw it into the sand, making her way down onto the beach, but staying a good ten metres behind Devaine. She would watch, as the creature seemed to disappear. She would watch Devaine's passionate outburst with a look of amusement. Her cold side did not really hold much compassion at all, save the oaths and feelings set aside by her original, loving, caring self. However, now she bore the presence of a hunter, and another hunter was steadily leaving their presence. Her prey it might be, but it was a predator...like her, although they were two different kinds. She hunted for sport, business and sometimes for --

Serielle finally lifts her gaze to meet Flash's...a feeling emerges, as if the connection is now stronger. She can feel his confusion, and their subconscious' mingle and dance...a mysterious pattern, a ballet of souls. There is no doubting the connection now... Is change not possible? I know I love him... the power of the magicks she had woven the night before were testament to that. A spell powered by the soul...is tied to love, for love...passion...were very much tied to one's soul... Can there truly be denial of a bond so clear? So deep?

Jaia-Asumoto -- pleasure...but she would not assume she knew what that creature hunted for. She would simply classify it under two different reasons. Necessity, and pleasure. But she did not know, and neither would she care. She simply watched Devaine with a lack of compassion, and a bountiful amount of amusement. Inclining her head, she nodded toward the sky as if she held a quiet understanding with that 'thing'. Hunter to hunter, one would think. She knew it might assume she was just another fool, but she would make it think twice if it did harbour those ideas. "Until next time, beast. We'll have our war." looking back at Devaine's back, she would replace her amusement with a look of interest. What was he going to do now?

Devaine_Hawk lowers his arms and begins to stalk back toward the dojo . He walks with his head down , almost as if the thing not facing him defeated him more than if it had slayed him out right . Walking right past the others who might try and speak with him or hinder his path, with out a or of his own. When he reaches his hammock, he snaps a hand down to grasp the lap top from the ground , then hurls the machine against a tree , shattering it in a violent explosion of motion. He goes for the books next, kicking at them and picking them up to rip at the pages as he vents his rage . Those that know him well would probably be surprised at the show of any emotion from the normally calm cool Dev . After finishing the destruction of the books he turns and slams his right hand into the trunk of a tree , one supporting the hammock, and the sick sound of bone and bark cracking combine in the air . Next his cooler goes fling, as if he doesn t feel the pain, it s content of bottled water and Gator Aid bottles tumbling out o

[Devaine_Hawk ] on the ground . The container it self becomes lost as it sails into the brush nor by . Finally he tears the hammock it self down, stomping it under foot, and ripping at it with his hands . He shouts up at the empty sky I won t rest, wont eat. Drink or sleep until you tell me where she is and I kill you!! at the top of his lungs . Then he grows silent, completely silent , not making a sound . The only movements as he slides down to slump against the dojo wall . He remains there on the ground , the left eye blaring the almost neon electric blue sparks , a he

[Devaine_Hawk ] broods and plans

ClaudiusBlue eyes crossed as her finger touched the end of his angular nose, the blue and gold focusing upon the sweet substance she had dabbed him with. Of course, both eyes focused upon her smug and challenging smile, the palm of his black glove running over his face to allow a shower of cake crumbs to fall to the floor. Looking back to the table, the bard cupped his silver gauntlet and removed a rather large chuck of the culinary masterpiece, his metallic finger coated in suger. A mischiveous grin would cross his once placid smile as he stepped closer to her with his confectionary arsenal in hand. "En garde..."

Aislinn laughs and makes a small noise, starting to try to escape his sugary clutches, the sound of her heels making sounds in the dojo. She ran to an empty wing, where no one seemed to be. Flash and Serielle were in another part, and the wedding was set up in yet another. The lady pressed her back against the wall, and tried to hide. Laughing, very softly under her breath. Her face covered in bits of cake, as she tried to wipe it off. She had almost stumbled a few times in those blasted heels.

Flash_Guardian shuts his eyes, shaking his head, his arms dropping slightly. As their minds dance, little traces of Flash's mind and history rush past ... stray thoughts. Serielle can see memories rushing past her, too numerous to count, of Flash with not just one, but many women ... each a different place, and a different face. Serielle may catch the face of the angel Bida among such glimpes of Flash's endless past, as her face seems to linger much longer than any of the others. A moonlit garden ... flying through the night sky ... song and dance around a campfire ... perhaps in touching Flash so closely, Serielle can feel it too. The pendant shines brightly ... the embodiment of his connection to his true love. A connection not unlike her own with him. But is the connection one and the same, or different? All this and more is the confusion that swirls through Flash's conscious mind, all laced with potent confusion, guilt ... longing. And still the pendant shines ...

ClaudiusBlue had given her a moment to escape, watching her flee from him as he twirled the mass of spongey cake in his hand. After about a pause of five or so seconds, the bard grimmed and rushed after her, following the echoing clip-clop of her heels. His approach would not be hard to hear, the clip-clop of his own shoes echoing after her own. Then the sound had stopped and so had the bard, looking about the room with the chunk of cake still nestled between his fingers. "Aislinn... Oh Aislinn..." he cooed, looking about the room for his darling one. "Where are you...?

Serielle is in awe of the images that flash before her, gorgeous women, beautiful, sweet memories. How can I expect a man...with such a life, such memories...to love me? ...

Alison just sat on the floor eating cake giggling they were acting like children she could not help but giggle at tem as she ate cake happly

[ClaudiusBlue ] *grinned

Aislinn leaned against the wall, eeking softly, hearing him run after her. She pressed her back still against it, trying not to make too much noise now. Her chest rising and falling in that form fitting gown, that seemed to make her lovely figure all the more pronounced. Though she preferred her knightly attire, she was grateful to Electra for getting the dress.

Sophie_hope enters the island on a boat as she jumps off hitting sand she feels around for the aura she been looking for and smiles when she finds it wispering to herself "Alison" she then begins to home in on the aura

Flash_Guardian seems, even in his denial, to drift slightly closer to Serielle, something almost instinctive drawing him to her. He now looks directly into her face. The swirling maelstrom of thoughts, hers and his, all seem to settle on one question ... How? The question alone was admitting the truth ... that there is in fact a bond between this man and this woman. But not knowing just why it is there. "How ..." Flash whispers aloud this time, his hand finding its way to hers, clasping it as he once again closes his eyes and shakes his head. "How is this possible?"

Serielle feels a jolt as his hands join to hers...and the magnetism grows. She moves ever closer to him, her eyes still locked up on his face. At last...words come, in the form of one question..."Does it matter?" she asks, as much to herself as to him.

Alison who was giggling happly while eating cake waching her parnets play suddly stops and looks fearful hideing under the table rocking back and forth crying

[ClaudiusBlue ] The faintest sound of his wife's voice had failed to evade his keen ears, the ears of a master musician. Pressing himself closer to the wall as well, the bard quiely creeped towards his cowering prey. The weapon in his hand had been anxious smear itself all over the man's lover, his fingers keeping still as not to crush the piece. Finally peering around one corner, the bard stepped out and pointed to her with one pluch ebony finger. "Aha!" He stepped ever closer to her, backing her up against the wall, leaning forward with a playful predatorial look in his eyes. "Any last words?" It seemed fair she get a chance to say her last piece.

[ClaudiusBlue ] *crept

Alison keeps under the table tottay scared she crying her eyes out not wanting to be found and have to go hide again somewere else

Sophie_hope shivers this place was rather cold she sighed and just keep on walking past the sand growling "stupid boots got sand all over them grrrrrrrrrr she gonna pay for hiding in such a uggggggg horrible place"

Flash_Guardian looks back to Serielle's face ... that radiant face. That same longing is felt, only stronger. He wants to believe it, and yet he doesn't. He wants it not to matter, but how can't it? A hand is brought up to the woman's face now, palm moving slowly along her cheek and fingertips tracing her smooth skin. "I don't want to hurt you ... but ..." He stops now, his breathing gaining in pace and intensity to match the pain he is feeling as his heart is torn in two directions. Such incredible pain ... perhaps more than the situation actually warrants, in fact.

Jaia-Asumoto turned to look behind her, her attention drawn suddenly by the sound of water parting before astern. A boat had dragged up onto the beach and a stranger appeared on the shore. However, this one appeared to be an intruder...and Jaia's Ki seemed to burn with a silent anticipation. This one was dangerous. She was looking at Sophie as she made these observations. She moved across the beach carefully, high-heeled boots leaving small imprints in the sand. Her right hand moved back over her shoulder to grip Ichijmond, and slowly began to draw the katana from its sheath. She smiled softly, her blue eyes focused on the female from behind her sunglasses. Ichijmond was drawn completely now, what light was left would be reflected over the blade. She did not, however, assume any aggressive stance...thus far, drawing Ichijmond had been nothing but a precaution. She approached Sophie, one foot in front of the either, a slight curve at the corner of her mouth. This one was looking for someone that mattered in the balance -

Aislinn gasped in the mock horror once more, as she knew he was coming after her. A mischievious twinkle took those lovely violets, and she winked now. "Just five. I love you, and enjoy!" Quickly, too quick to respond, her hand grabbed his , and she forced it to his own face, smearing it there. Her tongue stroked across her lips, and she grinned wide now, leaning close to rather playfully and delightfully lick some of the icing straight off a cheek. "Though I must say, you are delicious my dear."

Serielle looks pleadingly into Flash's eyes. But what...?

Jaia-Asumoto -- balance of Island life. She would lift her right arm so that Ichijmond was extended in Sophie's direction...herself standing five metres away from her person. She continued to watch her quietly, before asking, "Care to introduce yourself, stranger? I'm at a loss as to what your purpose is...and I am curious enough to learn." her posture was relaxed, and found a certain entertainment in all of this, just watching and waiting for Sophie.

Sophie_hope saw a lady approch her looking hostile so she wasted no time in unshething her own red glowing sword from her back "ok i dont know who the hell you are but what im here for is none of your bussnice the names sophie" she then scanned her having a defive stand just waiting for her to make a move her black leather clothing was not best suited but if she had to she would take her down her eyes narrowing on her blade

ClaudiusBlue knew it was coming... He had been asking for it as soon as she had rushed away from him. His face had now been covered in white, only a single stroke against his cheek showed much of his face, two eyes peering from the mess. "Am I?" asked the musician, running one talon over his other cheek before tasting a bit of the icing on the end of his claw. "H'm... You're absolutely correct!" With little time after that for her to escape again, the musicain lunged forward and pressed his face against hers, sneaking a kiss in while they were hidden within the pile of cake and frosting.

Flash_Guardian 's mind swirls with emotion, feeling it rise and swell like the rising ocean's tide sweeping throughout him ... all that fear, guilt, and desire seeking some way out, some manner of release and expression ... something, anything! Before Flash is fully aware of what he is doing, he leans forward, eyes locked upon Serielle's own, his hand upon her cheek leading her own face closer to his, lips parted ... perhaps to kiss the woman gently.

Aislinn leaned back against the wall he had cornered her in, pulling him closer to her. Her lips upon his, her hands had drawn around the nape of his neck. It was a tender kiss, one filled so deeply with the love and growing passion she felt for him. It didn't matter that they were both covered in cake now.

Serielle would smile as the lips drew together, her entire soul afire...her eyes flutter and close as he kisses her, her arm finding it's way around his waist.

Jaia-Asumoto smirked to herself, as Sophie's introduction did lack manners, but then the circumstances didn't exactly scream, formality. She would incline her head and ask, "Your business is of concern. If you do not tell me, I cannot let you pass." she would look at Sophie's clothing note it's similarity to her own, black leather. She shook her head gently, and grinned inwardly. Had she started a trend? She would then peer down her own katana, Ichijmond. A credit to the Ichijmond katana Class, it was a full three inches longer than the normal katana, and three ounces lighter...if that were possible. It had not been forged in Japan, but its origins were never the less...Japanese. She had mastered the art, and was adept at it. She would begin to walk steadily across Sophie's view, before blocking her off completely from moving any further into the island, "I am Jaia Asumoto...Ronin, Bounty hunter and if you don't explain your purpose...your soon-to-be, worst nightmare. Please, if you treasure peace over violence...you --

Jaia-Asumoto -- will sheath your blade and explain rationally. Otherwise, I'll have to force you to leave." on either hip rested a holstered Desert Eagle, loaded with full ammunition clips, each containing seven, 7mm hollow-head bullets. She appeared more interested in the drawn Ichijmond, however so made no move to use them. "I'm asking nicely. Care to oblige?" her smirk seemed to broaden a little, but only so much. She wasn't so amused as she had been by Devaine's actions not so long ago. This one seemed like she was going to be trouble.

ClaudiusBlue had been pulled toward her, her causing him to hum delightfully as she carressed him. Of course though, now both of them looked rather silly. The man had always spoken of wearing masks. This time, it seemed he had been more correct than he could have suspected. Both their faces covered in white and yellow, the blue loosed another deep hum, leaning against the wall now as his knees started to weaken. "A good day..." he whispered, his heels pushed into the floor to keep himself from slipping any further.
