Welcome to Gaia! ::

"The vaults..." The last time hed been down there hed been in the middle of scuffle, such passive words he used for it, and hadnt had the chance to look at the damage hed done. "The door..." It was still obviously damgaed from when it had been ripped apart before. Beisdes that, a number of the walls had small cracks running throught them, assumed to be where theyd been used to brutalize one of the two Saradins. "Aurah would kill me if she could remember too..." Saradin said as he ran his hands across the marks, and searched for other signs. On the floor, was one in particular, half obscured by the old dust that once covered it. But he hadnt damaged the floor had he?

Nailah looked at their hands linked. She took a deep breath and said, "The dreams started a little while ago. See originally the dream was one specific one that went back to when I had first received my empath powers. I woul dream of that one situation where I did something really bad. Then this shadow thing began appearing and he told me to use my power. According to him there is some kind of power that is inside me that I refuse to use completely." She stopped and looked at Alex, fear in her eyes. "He wants me. He wants to use me."

"Allo. you do that often?" she asked, sniffing the air slightly. most of the scents were muffled, so to speack, because of the rain, but it didn't take her nose to know he wasn't doing as well as he was trying to appear. "It hurts, doesnt it...?"

Niah smiled at Alex. He really was sweet. She bowed her head. "Thank you Alex but I'm not sure you can actually stop him. He only attacks in dreams and I...I'm not strong enough to resist him forever. He'll take what he wants even if he has to use force. I don't know who he is...." she stopped and her eyes went wide. She began to laugh and pulled her hands out of his. Shaking her head she searched frantically for the piece of parchment still laughing. "I can't believe it..."

"It is not wise for a gentlemen to speak of his problems, my dear Shinga." he smiled as he opened the door for her. "Perhaps I should have warned you that this place tends to get very wet," he laughed as he left the door open for her.

Alexander smiled at her" Just becuase he is in your dreams dosent mean there arnt many many ways to get to him, and luv, next time he comes you will not be alone in your struggle aganst him" His eyes locked on the paper as she pulled it out" What is that, I saw you dralwing the symbuls form your arms on to it, do you know what they mean?"

Niah looked at Alex and nodded. "Thank you Alex. I promise you he will be back." She felt a strange feeling come over her. It was a mix of fear, sadness and what felt like someone was uncomfortable in teh situation she was in. She had never felt that kind of sensation. Under the fear and sadness was a strange happiness that Niah identified as Aura at once. But why would she be feeling strange? Something wasn't making much sense here. She tried to dig deeper and found the normal happiness that was Aura. She had her own kind of feeling that Niah automatically identified with her. "Aura?" she whispered. She pulled out the piece of parchment quickly and slapped it on the table. "He said he was my master and that he was going to 'mark' me so I knew who I belonged to. That most likely means he had me carve his name into my arms. And I wrote it down." She looked up and saw Aura in the doorway. Getting up she grabbed her arm and said, "Tell me who this is Aura." she gestured to the paper on the table.

Being yanked into the room and told to read something was fairly startling for the confused woman. She looked around the kitchen for a moment, worried expression on her face before lying eyes on the thing on the table that she had been ordered to read. Looked like a name broken up. Funny thing was that she recognized it...but then again she didn't. She shook her head frantically, while trying to clear the fear that was rapidly rising. She backed away some until she backed into one of the kitchen wall. "I know it...but I-I dont..I..I'm sorry...I..." She squeezed her eyes shut and tried to force herself to calm down.
