Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh, how I have missed you sweet Bastet..." Nelphean said as he closed the distance between himself and the others. "My days have grown quite dark and miserable since last we meet." Nelphean bowed his head from his mount. Snow shook her mane.

Nelphean dismounted and let the horse graze in the nearby yard.

"I see that your studies have go just as far as mine."

Nailah yawned and sat up in Alex's bed. She rubbed her eyes and shook her head. Looking down she saw her filthy nightdress. She really needed to do something about that. She walked over to Alex's closet and started looking through it. Finally she saw a black fuzzy robe. Perfect. She slipped the filthy nightdress over her head and pulled on the robe. Then she looked at the bed. Alex hadn't moved and the kittens were still sleeping as was Rasui. Nailah wondered where Kepi was. She slowly walked to the door and opened it stepping out into the hall tightening the belt of the robe as she went. She draped the nightdress over her arm and considered who she could find to give her some clothes. Walking out she headed to find a spot to wash her dirty nightdress and saw everyone. Walking up she noddded to Nelphean and Vik and Shin, then turned to Bastet. "Are you alright? What happened here?"

Glaring at Nelphean, she sat up some more. "Well, somebody was not here to inform me of their method, and yes it feels good to have achieved this on my own. I shall lay here weak with pride." Sitting up some more, she leaned against the side of the manor. "I have not been practicing magic for as long as some people." Her eyes softened and her ears perked up as she yawned. "This would have been easier as well, had I slept."

Watching Nailah approach, she nodded to her, "I am just drained," And in need of some healing myself.... "But I do hope Vik is ok as well."

The air around them suddenly grew quiet and the sky grew dark. Even though the sun was gone, the shadows of the trees around them seemed to grow larger. But it was no illusion, the shadows were stretching towards Vik. They gathered in the form of a pool of swirling darkness about two yards away from where everyone was standing. From it, rose three figures. There was what appeared to be an elf armed with a bow slung on his back and two trolls, both bradishing huge wooden clubs. As the pool disappeared, a fourth figure rose from the ground. It was completly made of shadows and it's eyes were pupil-less. Dark scars resembling Vik's could be seen on the troll's chest and the elf's forehead. "There's our target." The elf said. "You know what to do." The trolls grunted and started to approach Vik.

she stood there and growled, ears twitching. "what is it...with people that stay here....being targets, eh?" Shin glared, sizing up the three. Elf had ranged attacks....not good. Trolls....bashing weapons, though still mid/l;ong range. and stupid. definitly not good.

"Really I do? Well thank you anyway. I must have been in enough scraps for the magic itself to grow stronger, without me growing stronger about how to use it. You see, I have never needed to heal others before, because I have never cared to before. So, though I am older, you have still been practicing longer, my dear Nelphean." She flashed a smile at him. She was now healed, but still weak, nothing could help that but rest. Growling at her own seemingly helplessness, she picked up one of her sai and aimed it to hit the skull of one of the trolls. Throwing it quickly and efficiently, it zoomed towards its target. "See what happens indeed."

Nailah watched and waited. She knew battles were not good for her. But at the same time she couldn't stand by and do nothing. She saw Bastet's sai leave it's owners hand and sighed. Looked like there was going to be another battle. She stepped back knowing seh would be much more help as sa healer than as a fighter.
