Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zersilo walked out of the forest calmly, surrounded by a unit of wights, all adorned in their armour. He of course looked identical to his brother, as they were twins, except in the fact that while Zersilo was wearing a red cape, Banji was wearing a blue one. Of course Banji also was wearing his armour, but their faces were identical, as were their eyes.

Zersilo calmly greeted the new-comer. "Greetings, Herr Markus... you and my twin appear to have come to some agreement, otherwise he would have killed you. You are also obviously a necromancer like myself, I can feel the dark energies swelling from you. Zersilo then examined Markus for a moment as well. "Your also a vampire I see, most creatures even mortal necromancers find the air of this place unsettling, but I find the ground here very tomb-like and comfortable like an old chair." Zersilo said, rambling a bit here and there, but getting his introduction done.

"I'm almost positive my twin hasn't properly introduced himself, so I shall do it. I am Zersilo Van Hagen, and my twin brother is Banji Van Hagen." Zersilo said calmly, bowing as he finished. After a moment Banji bowed as well.

Zersilo calmly assessed Markus, he was positive Markus was doing the same, another Necromancer, and Kyo as an ally... this was an interesting land of opportunties, and of course Risks.

" If you would like to discuss things further I shall have to meet you another day, but there is a village that has been ransacked and I have purchased it, along with the dead bodies. I've left the graveyard, consider the village as a token of my wish to discuss things further." Zersilo said smoothly. He was the obvious leader of the two of them, Banji however seemed the most battle ready, and if the two of them fought for power, Banji would be the winner, but it would be a fruitless over-taking.

((Arrrggghhhh, gotta go mate, sorry!))

Akuma quickly ascended the staircase and stood level to the hatch. He peered into the cockpit of Salvatio. It was filled with buttons, controls, and panels that buzzed and whirred. He slowly lowered himself inside. A technician closed the hatch behind him. For a few moments it was dark aside from the flashing lights that illuminated from the consoles until a light automatically turned on above his head. He situated himself in the pilot’s chair and examined the control panel closely. The controls were all lined in rows, clearly labeled with their purposes. Akuma was about to press an unmarked button, but hesitated. There was no telling the catastrophic outcome of simply pressing a button in something created by the Architect. He decided the best course of action was to get comfortable in his surroundings and await further instructions.

The technicians screamed into the cockpit "You should figure things out!" before jumping off onto the observation platform, opposite of the Architect. He stared at them through his thick glasses. The technicians -- all two hundred of them -- waited for his next command. Never before had they set upon an enormous project such as this. Many crossed their fingers and closed their eyes, praying to their guardians and gods hoping that the mission would succeed...even if it was in the hands of a demon. Sweat began to trickle down faces and they shifted their postures nervously. The silence was deafening.

"LAUNCH!" His order cut the silence like a hot knife through butter. Teleportation was the only way they could move such a massive object up to the surface, and the Architect admitted that the mages he hired were quite capable (through cooperation of course) of transporting immensely heavy material. A few seconds passed. Whispers ran through the crowd. "What's going on?" "What happened to the mages?" "Can we even do it?"

The light blinded them and they dropped to their knees as whiteness envoloped the room. A huge explosion rocked the vincinity as the technicians covered their ears with their hands. It was over, and everyone looked up, dazed and confused. Salvatio was no longer there. The Architect closed his eyes and concentrated, as if he were momentarily distracted. He slowly opened his eyes after a few moments and announced, "Salvatio is now in front of this fortress without signs of damage." A mighty cheer swept through the crowd. The technicians hugged each other with tears streaming down their faces. Hard work had paid off.

"This is only the beginning," he reminded them. The cheering died down. "Now this is the real test: whether we can stop something with the full potential to destroy the world itself." He exhaled. "Now we must rely on our telepathic spies, who will relay the information to us all. Activate the amplifier."

A crystal ball rose from the center of the laboratory and locked itself into position. "This ball will act as an amplifer, multiplying the volume of the messages we hear. This is as modern as we can get." He sighed. "And now...we wait."

((Yeah, but Ranae was the first blind person in the entirety of the feudal world RPG))

".....No......dont worry......I'm fine." Taking in a deep breath she blinked her gold eyes a few time as she had tears clouding them. "I'm going to be fine remember? Its all come back now...the doctor only said it was temporary I think....right now I can pretty much see your face...though its blurry....you keep the lenses you need them...not me..."

Deep inside though, she held a new feeling for her husband...fear. She had never seen him so angry before...or threatening to kill himself like that and it scared her to ever make him angry again. Looking down at his bloody hand, she found the healing magic she had so many years ago and healed the wound.

"I can heal you...but not myself....for me its just time..." Smiling a little bit, Rin held his hand, but kept her gaze on the ground.

(( Wow...have a heart attack...dude she went blind after she took something from Zersilo that would reverse her being a vampire. Damn...never seen someone get so "touchy". Besides she's not even permanently blind dont freak out. END OF STORY SO EVERYONE CAN STOP NOW ))

She nodded her head and hesitantly rested her head on his shoulder. "Put the lenses back in Kyo....I dont care if you say that you dont need them...just put them back I'm fine."

Rin was trying to stress the fact to him that he needed to see more than she did, considering that her vision was coming back after all. She looked up at him and gave him a weak smile, waiting for him to do as she had just told him to.

Shaking her head she looked up into his eyes, her golden ones filled with tears. "No...I'm the one who should apologize...never once did I mean that I didnt love you or that I didnt want to be with you. I just dont like to be completely helpless and sometimes its just overwhelming and too much to handle...a...and I say things that I dont mean..."

Stray tears ran down her face and she wiped them away using the back of her hand. "I'm so sorry Kyo..."

"I've already forgiven you..." She smiled softly at him and rested her head against his shoulder and sighed softly. It had been such a long day...so eventful in other terms. Never once had Rin argued with Kyo to the point where threats of suicide were exchanged.

Her eyes were still open, though they drooped a bit. By now she had begun to pur softly and stayed snuggled up to him. She felt terrible and responsible for what happened and it worried her that she could say things that she didnt mean and things could turn for the worst.
