Welcome to Gaia! ::

The orb by the door chimed like a soft bell and began to glow blue. "Sir, Forgive my intrusion but if we want to be out of the Shadelands before the sun sets around us we should go soon.", Vas'Kaa's voice said through the crystal. Ra'Sha looked to the orb, his skin returning to it's normal color and his hair darkening to it's natural black. "He is right, it is time for us to depart.", he said as he moved to stand from the bed. He looked to Kasumi and smiled warmly, "Let us go and deliver the news to your council.", he said softly, holding his hand out to her as his angelic wings knitted back together to the angel feather cloak at his back.

Ra'Sha helped Kasumi from the bed, smiling to her. "We'll have to locate a new outfit for you before we go, the desert is far too cold to wander around with nothing on.", he said softly, just as the door opened. Rian'Ka walked in slowly, a bundle of cloth in her arms. "Way ahead of you, Ran'Ke.", Rian'Ka said with a giggle, "I was on my way up to see what was taking you two so long and Noxx'Zus figured I should bring miss Kasumi this." She held out a folded violet dress with black lace. Ra'Sha stared at his sister for a moment, "Between the two of you I have to wonder how anyone ever get's any privacy in this house.", he said jokingly, smiling to Rian'Ka.

Rian'Ka blushed as she was hugged by Kasumi. "Umm...yes, well, you're very welcome miss Kasumi. The umm...the caravan is prepared at the base of the plateau.", Rian'Ka blurted, seemingly staring off into space. Ra'Sha chuckled at his sister's frazzled demeanor. "Thank you, Rian'Ka. I believe you have a fan, Kasumi.", he said in a joking manner. Rian'Ka stared at Kasumi for a moment before snapping back, still blushing slightly. "What? Oh, right. The High Priestess also wanted me to tell you that she will be waiting by the caravan with the portrait of Shar, she mentioned she wanted to speak with you Ran'Ke.", Rian'Ka said shakily. Ra'Sha nodded, "Very well. We will be down shortly.", he said as Rian'Ka bowed and started down the hall.

Ra'Sha smiled and kissed Kasumi's cheek. "I know, I would want nothing more than to stay here forever with you by my side. But the life of royalty is taxing and we still must think of those back at MoonStar. Though even when we deliver our gift to your council and return to the school, I will be by your side.", he said softly. Ra'Sha leaned against the door, thinking on what the High Priestess would like to discuss.

Ra'Sha smiled to Kasumi, standing from his leaning stance. "Alright, time to face those who seem to have an issue with me.", he said with a sly grin. He opened the door, holding it for Kasumi before walking down the hall to the crystal platform. Ra'Sha proceeded to escort Kasumi out of the palace and through the city to the plateau.
