Welcome to Gaia! ::

she panted, nodding slowly.

Much better. finnaly able to breath properly, she stood, a little wobly, but that would go away with time,

she patted Tularie on the head, and opened the door, taking a deep breath and rearanging her thoughts, before stepping in to the hall.

"Oddly liberating.."he said as he rose from the couch, "Sorry to leave so quickly but I must get going." he said as he bowed to her and made his way quickly out of the door.

Niah stood up and began to shoot once again. She would master this bow and arrow if it killed her. She hadn't been that bad of a shot originally, probably due to the fact she threw her daggers with such accuracy. It was true she always had good hand-eye coordination adn that was the main thing with long-range weapons. She did need to battle short-range though. Her fight with Idalla showed her that. Rusty skills would get her killed. She considered for a moment how easily Idalla had been able to get into her subconcious and use the one thing Niah had often wondered about. Her youth. She was forever being called childish and told she needed to act her age. She had always looked the youngest and the truly ironic thing is here she really was the youngest. She used to think 3000 years was a long time. Now she knew better. Aura and Bastet had been already past their first century when she was born. It was unbelievable really. That three women from the same country could live so long and then end up in the same place thousands of years later. They were so different from her. Sometimes she truly did feel so much younger. It was disheartening.

His attention was taken away from the door to turn and look at Bastet with a smile. "Nah, ghosts can't get lost. We can aways return to where we're bound to this plane." Giving her a once over he nodded. "You look much better than the last time I saw you."


Aura smiled as Bastet came upon the scene. It was a knowing smile. A smile that said, I think I know what's up with you and Nelphean...and oh the teasing you will get. After all, she needed penance for the teasing she herself had received. "Did you know about them Eclipse? Bastet and Nelphean?"

"Know what about them?" He jumped up, totally sitting up on the counter again to watch out the window. Jaxom examining things usually resulted in something hilarious. No way was he going to miss anything. "They fighting or something?"

She only laughed, petting his ears. "Silly oblivious thing."

He shrugged. "Not that there was anything to find in it. I just like to examine that which I can. No it hasn't escaped and wreaked havoc upon the graveyard or anything like that...but I think it has the potential to. Of course that's just me. I'll make sure to tell Kali that you're doing better when I get back."

"I don't get it..."

"Oh don't worry. You'll know. Because I'll pry anyway." She laughed softly, especially since Bastet had looked over and seen them both. Yes she would enjoy turning the tides of teasing and interrogation...a spotlight that she felt she had had to herself far too often, far too much.



Coban sat at the base of the angel, elbow propped on his knee, chin propped on his closed fist. "I just know it..."

"KNow what?" She looked up at him, smiling gently."

"Bastet. When I brought her back...I know something happened there. To the both of us."

"Well the last time you resurrected someone...you were alive to do it. Now your very magic is in your spirit. Perhaps that has something to take account for." Kali was quiet for a moment. "Why did you do it Coban? You always say that you would rather not have ever learned to give life back to the dead."
"Same reason I brought back Aurahkah. Bastet was needed. Eclipse needs her, our Ary needs her, and Nelphean needs her, they all need her. It just...wasn't the time for her."

"A business man on the outside, but inside...you're always looking deeper than the business aspects...and you ask why I married you sometimes...silly man."

Hadn't he just been talking about her? Coban's posture relaxed the slightest bit. "Hole? Oh...that thing. Why don't you venture over to it and take a good look. Discovering things for your own is half the fun." Giving her a smile her motioned for her to sit down. "Only one, Miss Bastet. Sir Calcryx did stop by though, as did Ary a few times now. But that's it."

She laughed pleasantly. "And there he was thinking some catastrophic change was going to happen. Like I told him, 'Coban dear you worry far too much for your own good,' but you know men, their attention wanders." Sobering herself she smiled to Bastet as well. "How are you doing dear? Treatment giving you any trouble?"




"She's been awful fond of that graveyard. Don't you think?" Looking away from the window she dropped her mug into the sink then brushed a few strands of hair from her eyes.

"Good company in there. You know, they have their moments."
