Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Why would I?.... All you did is yell, Some've done worse...." she murmured, not exactly awake yet, the effects of Raen's spell still lingering about her.

"I'm fine." she said sharply, not bothering to open her eyes to glare at him. She ignored her blood-soaked clothes for the moment, hoping Karik had gone to convince Akarni to hand something over. She had left most her things on the ship when she left, and she used Karik to get it for her, if Akarni would let him take it.

"Saro's, he's coming." Karik said, stepping from the wall.
"What?!?" she shrieked, her voice rising an octave or two.
"He wants to see how his "precious little girl" is after meeting the thing he summoned years ago." he said coldly.
"The lieing bast..." she started to mutter under her breath before looking to the others in the room. "Get out, now. Please, you can't be here when he comes." she said, her order shifting to a plead.

Raen and Zyriaut followed, pulling the door shut behind them. Raen hummed a simple spell to allow them to see and hear what was going on in the room as Akarni materialized.

Saro glowered at him as Karik moved to the corner of the room.
"A miracle, you survived." he remaked dryly, watching her."Oh yes, thank you for summoning the damn thing and setting it on me." she spat, to which he laughed.
"Saro dear, do you honestly think I would give you anything you couldnt handle?" he asked, glaring at her when she started to respond. "Besides, now you owe him, what, another year? for saving you again. And, as he serves me, technically you're mine for, three years?" he said, smiling wickidly.
"You-" she started, after finally finding the ability to speak.
"Would you honestly call me everything you were about to?" he asked, cutting her off."Yes. I don't know how Takari could stand you, much less sleep wit-" she was cut off as she was thrown to the floor, landing heavily on her side.
"Or why she stayed with you as long as she did. Perhaps only because of me?" she asked, gasping as he kicked her to make her stop.
"Or how she dealt with this." She was now pinned against the wall, the dagger from her belt at her throat, shinning brightly.

He completly ignored Ako, continueing to taunt Saro around her. "You mother had enough sense to keep her mouth shut, a trait you've always lacked."
"No, she knew what would happen if she spoke out. I would think that you'd have figured out by now that I could care less what you do to me, I still won't shut up." she spat, after which he started to push foreward but found Ako there. A grin played across his face, as he sensed Raen's magic.
"Do they know what you've done? Yes, you were a pirate, but do they know everything? Does you're precious priest," he he turned to Ako, "know that it wasn't me, but her who had done it?" he looked back to Saro. "You know Takari only left because of you. She never would have had her child with him, and you wouldn't have been told to do as you were. Unfortunatly, you did leave my knife there..." His voice was quiet throughout the whole thing, eyes dancing wickedly as he watched Saro's head fall foreward, her hair falling to conceal her face. He played with the knife, twirling it through his fingers.

He pulled away and glared at Karik, who sighed and opened a portal through the shadows for him, which closed after he stepped through it.

"I have as much of a choice as she does." he explained to Ako, or Oka, or whoever it was or who happened to be listening. "Though he won't be back for some time..."

Saro said nothing, and if nothing pressed herself more against the wall. She was positive he'd ask about what Akarni had said, particularly about Takari...

Raen dropped the image and Zyriaut entered the other room quietly, sitting in a chair on the opposite end of the room.

"It's fine...." she murmured, a hand shifting to hold her ribs. Her head seemed to sink lower at Ako's and the priest's words. "Yes... Everything... And that's only what he thought would effect you, there's so much more...." she half-whispered.
