Welcome to Gaia! ::

In slow lazy fashion, Aura's feet dropped to the floor from the chair as she lifted her head from her knees and stood. Eyes already open and slightly widened she walked through the great hall with not one word, not one sound, arms limp at her sides. Her steps lead her to the library when she went to the shelves, pulling out book upon book, all on the same subject. Finally she pulled from the shelves her journal.All were piled onto the desk and she stood before them with glazed over eyes.

"What the hell are you doing withe me? How are you even doing this? You're dead!"

He circled her like a vulture would, eyes raking over her as he did so."Alluring as ever aren't you bed toy?" He stopped and smirked at her. "Easy, you opened my sarcophagus, my Ka could move freely, seeing as you inadvertently broke the seal placed on me. I just happened to learn how to manifest myself in one's sleeping mind and thus control them. With so much free time on my hands, I had to do something to amuse myself. But you see, here in lies the problem; you. You remember who I am and everything, and I can't have you cluing anybody in or yourself for that matter, as to what I'm doing. First, the books, historical references, and my name."

Her hands reached for the first, flipping through pages till it marked a certain period in history in it's pages. Grasping the paper, she ripped the few pages from it and continued on with the next. Book after book she went through, ripping out particular pages. Finally she came to her journal where it was thumbed through quickly. Then a chunk of pages were ripped out and added to the pile of others. In slow motion almost, she replaced all the books to their proper places and gathered the pile of pages. Striding over to the brazier by the door she threw them in and watched with her soulless like eyes as they burned.Turning she strode from the library to the great hall, back through to the stairs that lead down to the vaults. Stopping at her own, she grabbed an ancient hammer and chisel then made her way down the secret passage that led to the chamber where she kept her own little secret. Approaching the sarcophagus there she went to the cartouche that was etched across it's front. Empty eyes starred a moment before the chisel was brought to the marking and she effectively chipped out the name that was there. Leaving only a rough spot of stone. The tools dropped from her hands and she retraced her steps back up to the great hall.

She looked at him almost confused. "Why are you doing this?"

"Because I have plans that's why. And I'm not going to have you ruining them at all. I may be dead now but I can use those who are not to play out my plans for me. You know, I almost enjoy this dead thing." He snickered. "You should try it." Suddenly a chest with a lock, and a shelf of books appeared. "Now to deal with you giving me away directly. And while I'm at it, I think I'll have a little fun with you as well."

Aura growled and withdrew a sai, lunging for the man she hated almost the most in the world. "Don't you dare mess with those!"

He motioned his hand once and laughed as she slammed down to the ground an iron collar forming around her neck with a chain that connected to the floor. "Oh be still now an let me do this. I won't mess you up too badly." He began to pick random books from he shelves, throwing them into the chest, others he merely pulled out pages and threw them in as well. "Well you don't need to remember any of this...this part you can completely forget for the time being. Don't need this, this this. Ah here we are! The meaning of why you have your bracelet and why you must keep it on....don't need." The pages were chucked into the book. "And yes, your current 'family' as you call them...well I'll let you remember their names, but that's all." Several book were pulled from the shelf and dropped into the chest. "And you don't need your lap dog. Name yes, him no."

Aura yanked at the collar and chain around her heck furiously as she was watching with horror as he did this. "Stop this now! I will get rid of you for good! When I wake up I will incinerate you and then the afterlife will no longer be yours to play with! How the hell did you get in anyway, Ammit should of had a feast with your soul!"

"Pharaohs get their afterlife for free...no matter what evils we did. It's a perk to being the living God on earth. Now let's see...the manor. You don't need to know how you got here or anything, just that you're here. Let's see oh yes. One final thing...you were so cute as a High Priestess...decked out in all that lovely gold and such...and your fiery attitude, ha! I love it! Wish I had been around to actually see you as her than merely read about and scan your memories. I think you would do well as her again." Pulling out a half blank book, he pulled the pages from another and placed them in the half blank one. "Hope you like the new you." On that book where he placed a finger to it a lock was put. He then kicked the chest full of books and pages shut, the lock clicking harshly. "Enjoy." Disappearing, he left her with a laugh.

The chain around her neck dissolved and she bolted up from the floor. She only got two steps before the darkness around her subsided. Aura blinked and looked around herself. She gave a shiver at the temperature of the air in the huge room and looked around wharily...The great room she was in split to several hallways to her left, several rooms to her right, a massive fireplace in the center of the back wall, a flight of stairs. It all seemed so familiar to her...but where was she?

Eclipse snorted, gave a small bark and flitted his wings as he struggled for a moment in Saradin's hold at all the sudden movement that had rocked him harshly from the land of comfort. "I missed it, what happened?" He kicked his back legs and propped the edges of his back paws up on Saradin's arm so as not to slip out.


She strolled around the room a few times. She knew she shouldn't be here, wherever her was. But this wasn't home. If she didn't get home, soon she guessed, she'd find herself in a mess load of trouble. Aura tucked a few strands of hair behind her ears. "Hello?" She gasped and put a hand to her throat. What did she just say? And how?

"I hate gravity..." He shook his head, ruffling the fur there and twitched his ears around some. "Well you see, since Vincent has taken Aurahkah off my hands most of the time, so to speak, I have all that free time I used to use to argue with her. And yes, it's been about that long, but I don't mind. Not like my life is in danger or anything, don't' need to eat or sleep or anything really, I just like to do the motions of such activities." He gave a yawn and cleared his throat, making his slightly squeaking voice less squeaky. "Food sounds good. And as far as everyone else...I don't have a clue, it's been quiet. Which is good, because you needed to recover."


Okay she knew she could do this. She just had to think it out. Aura simply stood in the middle of the great hall, a hand supporting her chin as she thought. Nothing. She was grasping at nothing in her head. The last thing she could remember was that she was getting ready for something what was it? Oh yes, a ceremony. But now...she was here, no gold, no sand, no sun. She let out a groan. "Where am I and why do I sound funny..."

Hearing her name she looked over and nearly fell over. A Goddess, walking the very earth...she was loosing it. She turned to face her and stared for a moment. Did she know this woman? Wait...her name..it was..."Bastet?" Yes that was it. How'd she know that? No wait, it just must be her appearance. Aura was in truth still trying to figure out what language she was speaking. "Um...hello." Politeness as always good on first impressions.
