Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hanging on, she watched as her ride grew even bigger. This is nice, she would have made more friends and aquaintances sooner if she knew she could experience things like this. She enjoyed the clouds, "That will teach you. You doubt nothing in that manor. Good, bad, revolutionary, embarassing, funny, it all happens there. Three years seems small with the long life spans of everyone, but they are enough to remember apparently." She judged his size as best she could, "Just curious, how big were you as a hatchling?"

"Saradin Pheonix sounds cool, but Chef Sarah will get to him. Besides you have multiple nicknames."

Witnessing the trouble with which Eclipse flew, he carefully shifted his glide to carry Eclipse within his personal air current to give the lift and air he most likely needed. "About... one and a half feet." Calryx chuckled again with his eccentricly loud and slow voice. "Quite the jump in size isnt it? As for Saradin, I came to revive those memories because I had been losing them over time. He actually hadnt mattered to me anymore, I was only a child back then. But the moment I saw him, it rushed back, quite pleasant." Curving upward still the massive dragon whose color matched the whispy clouds below, Calcryx turned in a very slow spiral, eyes still closed. "Phoenix. It makes sense to see how much hes changed. I'd like to try his cooking. It sounds delicious."

She covered her sensitive kitty ears as the much larger creature boomed out another laugh, "Yes, well I expected a bit of a jump. A Phoenix describes him, as well as almost everyone at the manor. We have all changed a lot." Remembering a few things herself, she sat silently, then continued, "It is hard to recall memories on will, but you never truly forget them, that is what I believe anyway. It just takes that jolt from seeing someone or feeling something to bring them rushing back. And his cooking is terrific. He could win anyone over with just that." She turned to look at Eclipse, flopping back comfortable on Calcryx under the barrier, "The ride is great, I wish I could feel this more." It was a pleasant change to recent disasters.

"You know Kitty, just ask and I'll take you for a ride." He chuckled softly. "How do you think me and Aurahkah got around so fast and away so easily back in Egypt? I was her main mode of transportation." He sighed. "We used to be up this high all the time, just me and her, laughing at the ones who would never catch us." Yes, he could remember. Clear night skies, and endless sky above and endless desert below "Besides, I could use the exercise."

His brow raised, "I do think you are confused, as I said loves, and not lovers..." There was a subtle difference. Nelphean had many loves but...

Nelphean noticed the nervous habit. He reached his hand across the table, and touched her check with his figure. A very short burt of energy mended the small wound, and created a warm feeling.

"I can't help it, I have a tendency to love... but that is from a part of my life I'd rather keep secret, for now." Nelphean said calmly. The children bowed to the image of Idalla.

Niah opened her eyes. A strange sensation filled her. She couldn't quite place it...almost euphoria. She smiled in spite of herself and stood up. Then she realized she was still dressed in Bastet's clothes. She looked down at her tight jeans that outlined every curve and the daring red halter top. Shaking her head she stretched and rubbed her neck. She piled her hair into a bun with curls escaping on the sides of her face and dangling down by her ears. Finally she opened her door and walked out into the hall and made her way to Aura's room. She needed to tak to her. She reached Aura's room and knocked a few times but got no answer. "Come on Aura. Open up. I need to ask you something! Please?" Niah sighed and said "Alright I'm coming in! Fair warning!" She opened the door slowly and peeked in. Aura's room was empty. Puzzled Niah walked further in and looked around. Everything was where it should be. Niah moved to stand by the bed and felt something under her feet. Reaching down she saw a piece of parchment ripped in two. Niah leaned down and grabbed the two halves piecing them together. She quickly read the short message and her mouth dropped open. It couldn't be! Niah dropped the paper and hurried out of Aura's room. She needed a drink...now! She hurried into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of wine and quickly downed it. Then she noticed those sitting there. "Hello..."

"Hello Nailah. Nailah here is my 481st love... Of course, you might fail to realize I just mean I love her unconditionaly." Nelphean thought about the primitive human language. "I guess you could say... friendship..." A word he would never use to describe people he liked, for in the old world, it meant he was using that person to his own gain, to his own end, for his own reason...
