Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elias let out a powerful sigh, it seemed that on this night he had made an enemy out of a friend. "Very well, it seems that you know hate me because of the things that I have said." he spoke with heavy words as he placed his large staff back into the holster upon his back. He went down to one knee, and looked toward the floor. "I care not what the cause of your pain, but by the Mexica blood in my veins and the great empresses of Mexico I will not stop until I see those eyes shine with happiness once more." he said as the stayed upon the ground. His fists curled up into balls and digging into the stone of the floor.

Elias looked into her eyes something was wrong, "There is something wrong in you eyes, the innonce that I once so admired in them is gone. Tell me what is wrong, so I can fix it, I do not want those that I love to suffer, I have suffered enough for them." he said, this time Elias could not hold back the tears, he had seen to many of those he care for die because of his weakness, and now the innocent Shin had lost that innocence and he could do nothing to help her.

Elias rose from the ground, wiping the tears from his face. He had lost his composure for a moment. He rose and smiled his eyes still full of sorrow, "But my young Shin you did loose me, I was gone banished to Miztlan for not dying like a true warrior." he said as placed his hand gently upon her shoulder, "I was give the chance to pay for my past sins, and they will be payed with my blood." he said, as his mind flashed an idead. "Enough of such somber things, this should be a moment of hapiness, and I have something to show you." he said with a sly smile as his body bgan to change, molding and growing until not Elias the man but the white bengal were-tiger. He placed a gentle white, furred claw upon her shoulder. "You are not the only animal here." he said with a toothy grin of a predator.

Elias let out a powerful roar, his tail swing back and forth, he wrapped his long white tail around her. "I am not in trouble mon amie, when my new master rebuilt they gave me new gifts, one of which is the power to change my form to best suit my needs." he smiled flashing once more his smile of the predator.

Elias let out a powerful sigh and let his human form return, he had been dreading this question for a long time. "Yes Atreyu, might return, but not in the form that we remember him. Belzeebub, his demon form, is immortal, but without a human host is stuck in hell." he spoke slowly trying to hold back the painful memories of the things which he had seen down there things that they had both seen. "He must first find another host to be able to return and my body is no longer a valiable one." he said, "For know Atreyu is stuck in hell."

Elias had left Shin's side that previous night with thougts of Atreyu dancing in his head. But on this brick winters morning, the rising sun found Elias out in the courtyard which lay before the manor. He was swinging his large Naginate blade delicately through the air, his limbs and body going effortlessly through the dance like steps which made up the Naginata-Ryu kattas. But in this dance he was not alone. The oldest of the three girls Ling Tao, seventeen, was there by his side, her own Naginata training staff held tightly in her grasp as she followed him in the kattas. Her moves were still clumsy and slow, but she was improving quickly. This was also a task which had been thrust upon him at the moment of his rebirth, he was to train them all in the arts of combat, until all three were ready to reclaim the throne, not by poison and subterfuge but by combat. The ceremony of Jar-sin. They would challenge and defeat this new tryant and reclaim, spilling no ones blood but there own. Both there bodies glistened in sweat as Elias guided her through the steps of the kattas. Elias had not yet trained the younger girls, but would shortly begin to train Amadhy in the arts of combat. He would wait some time before started the youngest of the trio, the innocent Michiko, her innonce was something which Elias tresured above all else. "Are you trying to kill me or something." the young mistress Ling Tao said as she came to the realization that Elias was slowly moving faster with every second. Elias only smiled as he heard this, "No young mistress, I am not trying to kill you, I just want to assure myself than nobody else does." he says as he continues to pick up the speed.


"Hey, slow down.....hey......ayy!!" Ling Tao screams as she tumbles rather ungracefully to the ground, throwing the long bamboo training rod into the air as she does so, this bamboo rod happens to fall square on her back side with considerable force as she lays there in a small daze. "Owww...." she says as she lies there exhausted.


Elias cannot help but throw his head in laugther, as he extend his arm to help her up. "My dear, I told you to train yourself not spank yourself." Elias said in a roaring laughter. Ling Tao's face become beat red, "You weenie! you're going to pay for that!!" she says as she attempts to take a swing at Elias without much succes.


There next few hours are spent with Ling Tao trying to beat the daylights out of Elias, without much such sucess. "One of these days she will hit me." Elias mutters to himself as he calmly dodges the barrage of punches and kicks that are thorwn his way by the steadily improving Ling Tao.

Elias and the young Ling Tao had been sparring for almost two hours, when finally both fell unto the ground exhausted, and laughing quite hard. "Youare getting better, Mistress, soon you will be able to land one of those punches." he laughed as he rose from the ground.



"Yeah, and when I do I'm going to kick your butt from here to DF." She giggled as she made her way back to the home. "I need to shower badly, I'm starting to smell like you!" she laughed as she dissaeared back into the manot


"That girl is going to be the death of me." he said with a large smile on his face. For a moment Elias stood perfectly still, looking at Shin as she laughed at the pair while there were training. He smiled at her as he stood there for a moment loosing himself in the moment.
