Aroura nodded. "Yes, of course." a moment later four nurses came into view from the stairs. one had towels and blankets, another had hot drinks, another had food, and the other held clothes. They immediately got to work. Raven was given attention first as he was in the worst condition. Some blankets and towels would be wrapped around him, and a tray of food and a drink would be set before him. The same would be done for Aroura and Zeke, but they were currently in the water. Instead, all but the one with towels stayed back. She walked up near the pool and adressed Aroura. "We have warm towels for you whenever you like, lady Aroura."
Aroura smiled. "Thank you, Jesse. We'll be out in a moment." She felt loads better now that she was taken care of by Zeke. The pool had re-energized her, and Zeke had awakened her without her drowning to death. "I owe you one, Zeke."

As the nurse placed warm food beside him he woke up from his sleep. "Ah... finally some food." He held his hand up to signal not to be touched by the nurses due to his condition. His skin returned to normal. He was white but his cape turned back to black. and so did his clothes. He slowly got up as he regained his strength. This time he stayed on his feet. "I don't usually feel like this. Could you imagine having to ingest those demons for three years?" he paused for a moment. "Didn't think so. those demon essences were my only source of food for the past three years and there was no other source of food around so I had no other choice." It was very disgusting but it at least satisfied his hunger and filled not only his stomach, but his dark power was satisfied as well. He soon started on the first thing he saw on his tray. "FOOD".

In the dark cold of night the shadows cast from the moons light on the grave stones begin to slither into the church down the central isle in a dark veil. The mass of shadows form together in the center as a cold aura fills the room, as the black orb begins to form a silhouette of a tall powerful man adorned in skeletal armor with glorious feathered wings and long flowing white hair. The beings body is but a shadow in the night until it's white glowing eyes open and the shadows dissipate rebelling the true defined shape. The being is masked from the nose down in a skeletal ninja mask at his hip is a kodatchi held by icy chains that also adorn it's otherwise bare upper arms. In each hand is a massive scyth held out to the sides. Soon the entities armored heavy feet hit the floor and the dark devine creature makes it's way out of the church. It speeks to itself in a low dark voice with cold coming with each word. "It is time for this angle of death to intervene."

"No trouble at all, Aroura. I had to." It was nothing short of truth that Zeke's conscience would not allow him to do nothing. He was glad to be able to come out of the pool and dry off. He buried his head into a towel to get the water off his face. His head picked up and looked straight forward with eyes wide open, one eyebrow very slightly raised. It was as if he'd been asked a question, and in fact... he had.
"Zeke... Why don't you like the pool? Heh heh heh... Don't answer that, I already know the answer. I'm just trying to get you thinking. The real question is why don't you like being healed by others? Don't worry, I know that one, too." The voice continued in an eerie laugh until it faded to nothing. Zeke turned his head away for a moment, like he was offended, then stood. He took a towel with him and went on toward the exit. "Excuse my manners, but I desperately need some air." On his way out, however, he would grab his favorite gun. The one with an impressive eight barrels. If nobody would say anything to him as he walked, he would make haste to the doors, and out.

Aroura smiled at the fact that the others had done everything they could to help protect her and the others of the church. Surely she had grown a lot of trust with them, but particularly with Zeke. Not only did he save her life, but there was something about him that reminded her of something... a feeling... that she had not had in quite some time. Something that reminded her of herself and her past. She had not been cared for by anyone previously. The only ones who touched her or handled her in any way were the church nurses that aided her when she returned from a search all battered up from the mutated creatures outside. Empty cartridges falling to the floor, shortly followed by the guns themselves. Limping to the hidden door, she would be recognized with smiles that quickly turned upside down with worry. For someone else to care for her otherwise left her a strange and unfamilliar feeling. She was quickly drawn to reality when Zeke started bolting to the stairs. However, there was something else that had drawn her attention as well... She felt an unfamilliar aura coming from upstairs. "Zeke?" she called. She started coming out of the pool, drenched or not, it didn't matter. she continued after him. "Zeke..."

Raven finished his meal and thanked the ladies for that delicious meal. "It's not everyday that you see hot ladies delivering towels and food on nice trays." He looked around and saw Aroura chasing Zeke. "What's going on?" Then, he came to his senses and realized something. She was chasing him for a reason. He then waited to see what was going to happen.

Zeke immediately slowed after hearing Aroura call out to him. He was still within hearing distance, he didn't know why she was running. "There was no need to get out of the pool, Aroura. I wouldn't want to put you through any discomfort." He debated whether to stay in place, waiting to proceed to the outside, or to go over and offer her a towel. It would all depend on whether or not she'd realize she could go back into the pool without the fear of him disappearing. His head was turned toward her as much he could manage without turning his whole body as he awaited a response.

Aroura stopped behind him, clothes drenched and weighing a ton. Her guns and ammunition were all wet too, but she did not realize this until she looked down.
"I.... don't know..." was all she could come up with before looking up at him. "I do know, however, that something is not right.... something is different..." She could not tell whether she was talking about zekes behavior or the aura she felt upstairs. "Would you like some company?" She already could tell that Zeke probably wanted to be alone, but she had to ask. She looked back at the towels that the nurse carried.

Zeke turned completely around with a serious face. He didn't look her directly in the eyes, but instead looked somewhat downward when finally he said, "I wouldn't prefer it." Then he lifted his head up some and gave half of a smile, holding the towel to her with a gesture. "However, it's up to you." Zeke could tell the she could tell something was up. However, he was unaware of the Auras she could see, so he was wholly convinced she was onto him. He was eager to get away from it, but he just couldn't toss her aside like a soiled rag. It wasn't his way.

Aroura took the towel from him with a half smile as well. "I'll at least follow you up the stairs to the main lobby. Theres something I got to do there." She wrapped the towel around herself and hugged it tight with her arms and hands in the inside. She took a glance back at the newcomer eating his food before turning her attention back to Zeke.

Zeke allowed Aroura to follow to the stairs. He immediately began to contemplate a way to get rid of Aroura. Of course, without being Suspicious, hurtful, or anything but courteous. Whispers in his head started. Softly at first, like a whisper should be. It escalated to talking. It raised still. Zeke put his hands to his ears, trying to tell himself ignore it over and over. Over and over, as well, was a chant. Zeke closed his eyes repeating himself, telling the voices to go away. Without realizing it, he'd started mixing up what he said and what he heard. "Stop it, stop it, stop it... stop... Peto... stop, dor-- pet........" Soon he was completely confused, and chanting in unison. "Tremo... Dormio... Peto Somnus. Tremo... Dormio... Peto Somnus. Tremo... Dormio..." This, what he did not realize he chanted, was a somewhat high caliber sleeping spell. If Zeke could just know what spell he was casting, he might realize it was at a level the likes of which might even affect Aroura. He knew not what he was doing, not being able to concentrate due to the constant loud voice.

Aroura waited for Zeke to head up the stairs. After a few moments she could hear zeke mumbling something, followed by the feeling of being tired. Whats this? she thought. she looked down as she attempted to fight whatever it was. She stopped, confused. Was this the work of magic from the being upstairs? or was it.... Zeke? She pulled out one of her swords just in case, mind focused on first ridding of the unexpected magic.

Zeke had somewhat started to lose focus. He could not tell what he was doing, nor could he stop. When Aroura pulled out her sword, this broke him from this trance-like state, and he saw what had happened. In his frustration, he ran away from Aroura. As he distanced himself, he realized it was better this way. The further he was from her, the less that could be done. The last thing he needed was to be in the middle of another fight. When he was out the doors, he stopped completely.
Just outside the barrier, he realized just what had happened. Here was where whatever this thing was had full control. Had he just been led into a trap? Either way, this was the perfect chance to end whatever this was before it escalated. "You love her, don't you? This... Aroura? You just ran away from her when she needed you. Now she probably doesn't even realize where you are. Bad move. By the time she shook out of that, you were out of sight. Too bad I couldn't put her completely asleep, though. I haven't gained all the power I need just yet... But you'll help me with that."
"No, I won't. You're also wrong about me having feelings for Aroura. There's only one person I devote my love to, even if I never see her again." He put his hands out to ward off the dark being with any magick he could possibly conjure. No matter how he tried, nothing happened.
"Silly you... You can't do magick, yet. All that stuff earlier? That was just me trying to get out. You didn't actually do any of that, you just opened the doors up. As you can see... Now, I'm free."

When Aroura came to, she looked around for Zeke. He was not there, so she prepared herself and ran up the steps, sword ready. She ran to the lobby, and spun her head around as she did so. He wasn't there, but the aura she felt seemed to be closer. Opening the gate, she headed up the passage and into the worship room where the cross stood erect. She did not find Zeke, but she did quickly find out where the aura was coming from. Although the battered pews and torn floorboards were cause or worry, just outside the doors was a high concentration of strange energy. The idea crossed her that there may be more than one being outside the doors emitting this kind of aura. She pulled out her other sword and rushed towards the doors.
