Welcome to Gaia! ::

The old man gives a tiny bow and, with a slightly strained voice, he lists off what he sees, "A room, dark, as if night, but bright enough to see in. Bars block the entrances, as if it were a prison. Little else is to be seen."

"Those creatures are of the darkness... they must have caught wind of her somehow. I can retrieve her immediately if you so wish." He stood up and put his fist on his chest. "I will retrieve her no matter what injury I sustain."

Ranmyaku shook his head. "You don't understand what is happening queen, I am going alone! You are not capable of fighting these creatures and you certainly not being put on the line!" His voice was loud and gruff. She maybe queen, but he will not fail his first objective. Find and protect the queen at all costs. "I have been in that realm before. I have made the darkest of creatures fear me... and when I arrive, they will crawl beneath my blade!" He said as he left the room. Slamming it behind him. As he left the room the other guardians arrived. They were wondering what had got him going... nothing ever got him going. "Sir?"

He looked at the group. "No matter what she says, keep that blind women and old man in that room! No if's, and's, or buts! Do you understand!" They all took attention as he pointed to where they were. "Now protect them with your lives. If you hear any noises investigate, but don't let her take care of you and escape! She is dangerous and will try to escape." He left to the teleportation room that they had for top operation missions like this. He knew where he was going... he just needed them to lock on. He had told them of the situation and they knew this was top priority. They began to lock onto the prison which he had a hunch it was in. After all, he has saved many people from that dungeon, but this time was going to be different.

He was standing in the middle of the circle of teleportation and he looked at her. "You would only get in the way..." he looked at her with cold eyes. "I work best alone, and micheal knows that... I knew him when he was younger and he knows what I can do." He fixed his gauntlet a little bit. "And trust me, if you show up, then it would be much harder to get out alive." He looked over the his the two wizard as they nodded there heads. "Now if you excuse me. I have half a soul to save." He said as the two wizards started their incantation.

"Well you kinda blew that chance didn't you? You saw it with your own eyes, she was scared... and if this is the right place, then I will be saving her life and the rest of the world... I think I will risk some energy and my life to make sure that happens, right?" He said as he gave them a thumbs up to keep going. "Your crown may mean something to people and may be a claim to your throne, but you have been gone for so long. You just can't come here, throw your claim instantly on the table and say your in control... that is not how it works anymore. If you want to officially become queen..." The wizards finished their chant. "Then you tell the people..." He said as he dispersed in a large burst of light that flew through the ceiling."

(So how does this work? You going to start the next one? Or should I?)

A slight knocking could be heard on the door and a familiar voice speaks, "May I...come in?"

When Katherine heard the knocking, she quickly moved towards the door and opened it. She had forgotten to put her hood back up and so her black eyes bore into Heru as she looked at him, trying to figure out why his voice had sound familiar and what presence it was that she sensed. "Please state your name and business," she said to the man she knew but did not recognize with her blind eyes.
