Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aura was silent for a moment after Phea left then looked to Thobias. "You should leve now...like I said, don't want to use up all that energy."

"Coban will be furious with me anyway, I didn't ask him if I could cross over to visit. So I'm in for it anyway." Thobias' form misted into the familiar ball of colored light. "Can I come back Aura? Please?"

"Thobias...I don't....um...alright, but only with Coban's permission. Do you understand me?"

"Yes, I do." H knew that tone she was using. He also knew not to stick around when she used it and a second later he was gone.

Eclipse trotted over to Aura and nuzzled her arm. "You can't change what he feels."

I only wish he didn't feel that way. He needs to let go."

"Well you know what you need? A good game of midnight fetch, come along." Eclipse grabbed a hold of Aurahkah's bracelet, and led her from the kitchen, intending to apply his cure of playing fetch.

In the cemetery hidden within the perimeter of the manor, lost behind dense foliage where only two beings ever visit anymore, a girl and her wolf, a host of six spirits all perched around the base of an angel statue. Three of them were the very first ones here, two had come along a hundred years later, and the final one was five hundred years ahead, but only 78 years gone and the last of the true Archaic bloodline. These were the only ones that would ever visit here out of the entire family, they were the only ones who still cared enough.

"A portal to Hell you say?"

"Yes, heard it myself, portal to Hell."

"I thought we had that place sealed off from such things...especially since we left Ary alone there."

" Is Ahkah in trouble?"

Thobias patted the head of the small child next to him."She'll be fine Piper. We won't let anything happen to Aura. Or the others that reside in Archaic Manor with her either."

"Still playing Romeo to her? Please, now's not the time to be chivalrous. Anyway we can prevent or prolong this portal opening?"

"Don't start any bickering Lotus, we've got bigger issues." Coban went silent as did the others, waiting from him to speak. He was quiet for a long moment before looking up at the statue that loomed over the gathered spirits. "Maybe...the angel..."

Jaxom quickly interjected. "Don't assume that any of them, even Ary, will accept the type of help she can provide. You haven't been around them as I have. Yes they will fight with her, but I don't know if they'd be willing to do any more than that."

After a few short seconds, the fueds end. The blood of the weaker essences runs freely. "Hocus Pocus" Azaireal jest as he sweeps his hand in the air. Remembering something he once saw, he conjoured a broom with a pair of arms, and orders it kindly ot clean the blood. Azaireal has no love for the Fallen, but will gladly clean up their mess.

Nailah snuggled down into the cocoon of warmth she had somehow buried herself in. She felt warm and safe and didn't want to move. Yet something was telling her to get up. She didn't know what it was but the strange feeling wouldn't go away. She sighed and pulled the covers over her head. Ah sleep. she thought. Slowly she began to drift....and then the feeling was there yet again. Get up! Get up! It seemed to say. Nailah cracked open an eyelid and glared at teh darkness that seemed to engulf her. She finally gave up and threw the silk covers off of her. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and felt the delicious slide of silk against her heated skin. Sighing she looked down adn saw she was once again in her red silk nightdress. "Hmm I wonder why I continue to wear this." Shaking her head she got up and threw on some clothes. Then she made her way out of her room and into the kitchen desperately needing coffee...or a drink. Either one would do.

Khenu walked around the first floor of the manor his self composed theme music being whistled as he went. He made it a point to slide down the halls in socked feet to amuse himself.

The place was awfully quiet. Everyone was probably either asleep or doing some grown up task or work or something.

Khenu looked down at his legs and his theme music stopped. He watched them for a moment before smiling brightly. "Kitties!" Almost instantly he sat on the floor and grabbed the two that were looking for attention.

After a few moments of distracted attention he looked up to Bastet. "Funny I expected that you would. Can't miss much with those ears." He petted the gray one for a few seconds before continuing on. "I guess I'm good...hey! Where we get kittens?"

His attention then quickly changed itself to the little white one that sat far off from the others. "Come here kitty." He held one hand out to the kitten in an attempt to draw it near.

The clicking of claws on marble flooring was heard as a familiar winged wolf entered the manor, rather worn out looking. He laid down on the floor and yawned, using his ears to survey his surroundings. Well, at least someone was up.
