Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nelphean picked up the notes easily, as a lyre was not that complex of an instrument, and joined int the tune, until he sudenly stoped.

Nelphean, looking out a window, smiled. "Snow"

He ran to the front door, and outside, to where he spoted his magnificent horse. "How I have missed you my dearest snow..." He embraced the horse and cried.

((exit.. hour/2 - hour))

Stopping rather abrudbly she looked to Bastet, and forced a smile out to her friend. "Hello BAstet...me and Nelphean were just talking about a few things." Tell now or later...she'd hold out for a moment. "So, how are you my friend?"

She sighed. She was going to have to tell. Tell Bastet but no one else it seemed. It was a secret and yet not a secret. "How about this my friend...you tell me the answer to a secret that's being kept from me and I'll tell you a secret that's being kept from you."

She smiled. At least she was going to get what she needed, and then Bastet would know about Nelphean's plan. "Before me and Vincent let to get married...I have a blank spot in my life. All I've been told is that I slept for three days....but I know that's not the truth. And well...I know you'll give me the truth. What happened during that blank spot to me Bastet?"

Breathing a small sigh of relief, she turned her eyes up to Ra for a moment. "Before you left..." She smiled bitterly then thought about the lesser evil she had to explain. "Ok, well..." Aura wanted the truth, and since she could not say the other secret, she could at least divulge this. "Well, do you remember the Pharaoh Khepreukhepreu-re?" Pausing for only a moment she did not let Aura respond, and instead owned up to her bluntness. "He found out that Nailah was here too, only she knew him by Ay. He scrambled your memories and you thought you were a priestess for three days... Nailah was plagued with dreams, and just bad things." Plowing through she finished, "But you do not have to worry, his Ba was destroyed and obviously we got your brain back in order." She then paused for reaction and asked her question, "Now what is this secret of yours?"

She looked to Nelphean when she heard him, and smiled to Aura. "Eclipse along with other animals come inside..."

Nailah was restless. She had a lot to think about what with the strange feelings coming from Idalla and everything. She wanted to believe that Idalla would not hurt her but she just couldn't be sure. There were so many questions she had. She rubbed her neck absently at the spot where she had been bitten. It still hurt like hell. She wondered briefly if Idalla had stolen any of her youth. She certainly didn't look older. She sighed and slipped out of bed walking slowly to keep from disturbing the sleeping Alex. She walked slowly out of his room and into her own. She plopped down on her bed and started flipping through one of her books.

Rasui wandered over and sat down beside her purring happily.

Niah reached over and idly stroked the cat while continiuing to flip through the book. She was so happy she had her room back and all of Aura's books she had taken from the library were in one piece.

Niah stared at the book in front of her. She had read the same sentence four times. She couldn't concentrate. Too many feelings wandering the manor and her own combined weren't helping. She felt so helpless. Nothing was in her control anymore. She tossed the book on the floor adn stood up. Heading out of her room seh called to Rasui and walked to the courtyard. The sun was peeking out and the clouds were drifting away. The sun shone on her face directly adn she smiled as it's warmth caressed her skin. She stood in the middle of the courtyard bathed in sunlight and closed her eyes reveling in the beauty of it all.

Rasui followed her mistress outside and curled up on the grass. She covered her face with her paw to block out the too-bright sun and settled to go to sleep.

Bastet stayed sitting for the pure purpose of getting the secret from Aura. She was delighted that her friend had taken the same route and just said it, no dragging feet. She raised an eyebrow and then looked to the elf mentioned. "But," she closed her eyes and felt the pendant around her neck. Nelphean die? She could not lose another close to her heart, especially after so recently putting him there. Then again she died in front of him, though he could not see. He was almost helpless for her, but she could help him. Standing she walked over to him, "Why would you have to die?" She came back, so did Aura and Elias, so Nelphean could come back too right? But he would not have to die in the first place anyway. "The pendant shall not leave my neck, nor shall you leave me unless you so choose to."

Walking over to him, with one hand she reached to pet Snow, and the other she placed on Nel's arm.
