"Death....is unneccasarry. besides, you have a knack for being messy at it. she shrugged, shaking ehr head as she watched him leave, reverting back in to her human form reluctantly, before searching out Tularie, to go curl up and take a nap.
funny, but she found it hard sleeping in a prper bed now, preferring leaning up against the dragon, or up in the hay loft.
pecular as ever.
she pulled the paper out of her pocket as she walked, fronng at it. she was right. it was a long time ago. and bethamin had died. the paper erupted in to flame in her hands, and she watched with satisfaction as it burned down to her fingers, before she sat on the ground beside Tularie, curling up inbetween her massive feet, beside her head, and drifting off.

Aura merely lay there with Saradin, head against his chest still, listening to his breathing. She drew in a breath and bit her lip. She couldn't leave him...Aura let that breath out, it coming out in a shudder as tears pricked at her eyes and spilled down her cheeks onto Saradin. Aura just comforted herself by pulling herself closer to him, hands still tight on his jacket. "We'll win Saradin love. Like I've always said...you're a phoenix for a reason." Those silent tears her only comfort she stayed with him, hoping that at least whatever was after him, would leave him alone for the time being.
((O.o I have work tomorrow *dies*))

He woke from pasing out on the couch, and yawned lightly..before moving to the kitchen for dog stew. and sat down to eat..and then with a little bit of a amused grin, looked aroudn to see no one present, and scratched on the table surface a series of runes, though he dared not leave marks on the table. wisps of spiritual smoke wafted up and swirled..and took form. Nailah, Aura, and Bastet, in gypsy outfits took shape, and danced on the table. Nailah was playing a violin, Aura a flute, and Bastet a tamborine. Cymarron chuckled to himself, watching his breakfast 'entertainment' while he ate.

Bastet pulled away only slightly and lay on her back staring at the sky. Her tail twitched beside her occasionally flopping over Nelphean, almost as if it really did have a mind of it's own, or it reflected her feelings without her meaning it to. Her thoughts wondered naturally to worry, and maybe she did have a story to tell, "What do you think of a woman giving up on love to seek power?" She was not referring to herself, but was curious of what others thought.

"My my....what a talent you have, my good sir."
Shin laughed as she stood in the kitchen doorway, shaking her head.
"I do hope you'll pardon my intruston. But i was hoping one had not raided the refidgerator and eating all the left overs of last nights dinner."

"A woman who sacrifices love for power?" Nelphean laughed, he got into a lot of trouble with women like that. "They break." He smirked.
"Truthfully, a power recieved at the cost of love is usually not worth it. Often there are other ways to gain tha same power without the loss." Nelphean smiled, "So suddenly you wish to talk again, or are you curious about someone you know? That old woman who-" Nelphean paused thining about how to phrase that, just skipped it all together, "Well, she seems to be the type to surrender love."
"Aurahkah, perhaps... Nailah... Not likely... You" Nelphean paused and looked into her eyes, "You might have before you meet me, after Omari died." He said calmly.
"Why do you ask?"

Cymarron looked up startled, and gave a sheepish grin. and gestured to the huge tub of stew.
"Cymarron made plenty, and no one else eats it. feel free to join us for some."
He left the dancing gypsies on the table, looked at the scene, and with afew mroe symbols, added himself in gypsy garb playing a cello.
"Is this more to your liking?"

Shin took a bowl out of the cabnite, laughing.
"where did you learn to do that? Its so much like a shadow mirror....I didn't think you were a necromancer though."
she let her curiosoty get the better of her again, as she sat beside him, serving herself a bowl full of the stew.
"I was not aware...then, I don't pay much attention of late."

"No, we are not a necromancer. we have eaten them before though. we were most disappointed when we coudl not create a skeleton pet. this as just smoke and spirits. we put a little of ourselves into the smoke, and they dance becuase we want them too...like..puppets? yes that is the word."
He nodded lightly.
"Cymarron knows most magics. we learned when we ate the users. but the spirits won't let us use those powers. they are not our Path."
He ate some more, wondering where the rest of the manor inhabitants were at.

Shin laughed.
"Don't eat me. I'm a bitter ld bat."
she grinned, setting her spoon in to an empty bowl.
"Skeloton pets are harder to create than most think....it requiers massive amounts of power...and it has to have constante upkeep, or the pet witll pass on again. As such...Shadow mirrioring isn't stand alone, but requires much less energy, and is more like the living, doesn't scare others."
she smiled
"Observe."
she traced a series of runes in the air, nimble fingers running through the spell quickly, having used it often. the air some what shimmered, before a carbon copy of Cymarron stood in front of them, looking at his double with subdued intrest.
"Its rather handy...especially if being in two places at once is benificiall."
she nodded slowly, left hand drawing a banishing rune in the air in front of the copy Cymarron, and the imposter vanished, leaving a fading shimmer that lasted only a few seconds.

Cymarron looked at himself with interest, ears perking...before it faded into nothing again, he looked at Shin with mild interest, even feigning a hungry look, and grinned lightly.
"Shin is a necromancer?"
He continued to eat, and moved to refill his bowl, and offering her another as well.
"Why woudl one such as you, study the darkest of magics?"

Nailah found herself in the woods. She had come there so often to think. Now she stood there and let the tears fall. Saradin had died. Not just left like usual but died. She shook her head and wrapped her arms around her body to ward off the cold she felt. She was so...empty. Numb. She felt nothing and it was the scariest feeling in the world. She couldn't face all of this just yet. If there was ever a time to leave, it would be now. But she wouldn't do such a childish thing again. She had learned her lesson by the hands of a man. Many men to be exact but she laid most of the blame on herself. Had she not been so stupid and naive she never would have gotten herself in the situations she had. She closed her eyes and dried her tears. There was so much at stake here. She felt like if she didn't get a handle on all of these new changes she would slowly slip into madness. She lowered her face to her hands and sighed deeply. She'd have to face it all eventually. It might as well be now. Slowly she made her way back inside and went back to her room. She heard voices coming from the kitchen but ignored them. She wanted no company just now.

He caught Nailah's scent when she came in...but she had not ventured near him, so he assumed that she did not wish his presence near her. He did not like it, that she had not even said hello, but he understood. He turned his attention back to Shin, though he made a mental note to do something nice for Nailah, just to let her know the rest were here to help if asked.

She smiled softly, nodding an acceptance to another helping.
"nothing better to do. i was bored. I do stupid things when im bored."
she laughed.
"I had the talent. I ran with it, ended up being pretty darn good, if i say so myself."
"and it isn't the darkest of arts. thats mathematics."
"What is your Path? if you can speakc of it..."

Nailah sat on her bed and watched a sleeping Tyler for a few moments. She kissed him on his forehead and moved the hair out of his eyes. A sweet smile on her face she moved to the couch behind the bed and sat down. Slowly she began to focus her mind and open her senses. It was time to see what her strange gift would tell her now. She took a deep breath and allowed the emotions in. Love. Happiness. Loneliness. Anger. Fear. All of them swarmed in once she removed the block she had up. Love and happiness were the strongest of all and Niah swallowed back the cry of despair building inside. She knew very well who they were coming from and felt very happy for those she thought of as dear friends, or even sisters. They were sisters of a sort. Three women, bound by time, and chosen by fate herself to meet. She allowed the emotions to overtake her and found herself lost in other's delights and pain. Tilting her head back she lived through newfound love, hearbreak, loss and joy. Deep down she knew her emotions did not lie to her. She knew she was the source of heartbreak. It was so sad really. Her sisters had found their loves and she was alone. Alone but fine. She would swim, to borrow a phrase from Aura, and she would damn well make it. That b*****d wouldn't have the last laugh. She'd make sure of it. Maybe she should go throw herself in Elias' arms and ask him to steal her pain. Run up and kiss Cymarron just for the hell of it. Flirt with Nelphean B. to prove to herself she could. Everyone told her she'd be fine and now for the first time she believed it. She had lost so much in her life, good friends, lovers, happiness. But she was going to take it all back. The world would be hers because she wished it. She didn't need a male to give her what she wanted. But she did need a male, and his name was...
