(( Located in the Azure Forest ))
This site stands in the middle of a very large forest. Nearby seem to be the charred remains of a recently burned to the ground. The graveyard is surrounded by stones and has at least one hundred crosses made of wood. Next to every cross is a small stone with the name of the deceased at the age at which they died.

Relic Fi walked slowly through the clearing that lead to the graveyard. The trees surrounding the village had burned in the fire. He remember it hazily although it hadn't been long ago. Over her usual clothing he adorned an ebony cloak, that matched his skin. His eyes scanned the area, searching for something, someone. The soft ground betrayed no step, and made not a sound as he moved with such grace through the arena of death. Finally, he found it. A small iron cross with a headstone under it. Carved into it was the following,
RIP
Relic Fi
Age Unknown
Relic stared down hard at it. It was surely the work of fire magic. His pupal that he had trained within this once prospering village. He had worked among the varied races and overcome such obstacles. Now, why was it that he could not remember his pupal? The one that built this graveyard on their own beloved home. He remembered the knowledge he had shared with them, but could remember no detail of them. His 'death', had fooled even the burning red eyes. That was the only detail he had remembered. Their particular eyes that had always been burning red with a passion for knowledge... and for justice. It was a tragedy that their home had been destroyed as such. Relic sigh and kneeled down. It was best he corrected their error. He was not yet dead, despite his age, which remained unknown to all but him. He preferred to keep it this way however.

It was a long ways off from the Crimson Forest and the Nobodies' Tavern, but Sain finally made her absent-minded, sorrowful, way to a desolate graveyard, surrounded by what used to be a town. Pushing the tears from her eyes, she examined her surroundings and stepped softly through the burned village. Blood covered the grounds like a carpet. Sain looked at it distastefully, and turned her attention to the Drow that seemed to be doing something to a stone in the graveyard. She watched him curiously for a moment from a few feet away. What was a Drow doing here?

Coming from the Forest Gabrielle reached the strange place. She felt guilty of having let Karma by herself, but knew that the cait would be strong. She wanted to deliver her message. Even if it seemed that Lady Butterfly did not actually cared about Fleur...as she had not even tried to follow him.
She stopped at respectful distance and bowed. "Lady Butterfly. I have a message for you." she wondered to which extent it made sense to share that with her now... "Prince Manadeas Fleur cannot be around you. And you cannot be around him. For your own safety and health." she transmitted the message with accuracy. "He said that he would not have someone like you damaged by a monster like himself." her ton was sad.
At that moment only she noticed one of the most beautiful creature she had ever seen. His skin was of a deep blue-purple contrasting with his short white hair. She saw him kneeing and stayed immobile. She froze too, staring at him.

Gabrielle shook her head. She had other things to do. With a last look at the beautiful creature and a wish that she would meet him again, she turned back. She did not give time for Lady Butterfly to speak, anyway, what would have she said to a stranger such as Gabrielle? The dark holy knight ran, she wanted to go back to the tavern. She had promised to Karma that she would be shortly back. Her way back was quicker than the other way around, as Gabrielle was running. She found herself lucky to find the tavern at the same place...it was changing places so often. She opened the door...

Relic stopped moving for a moment. A cat and a vampire. Curious. He chanted softly under his breath. Hagua Sumpa, Hagua Sumpa, Hagua Sumpa. It resounded in his mind as he watched the words etch themselves out on the stone. He opened his eyes softly to reveal his work. It was just as he had seen it within his own mind and nodded. The stone was carefully readjusted before Relic finally stood up and covered his head with a dark indigo hood. It shadowed his fair face and he quickly followed Gabrielle's suit and left, without a word or glance at the cat-girl. No, he had more important things to deal with.

Shiroka arrived from the Temple of Sun. They were one day away from the Graveyard. She sat. She had to admit that she was a little tired. She made a small blue fire, which was warming us a little. Finding a little stone, she put the locket on it, as she had taken the habit to 'speak' with Yata'Djinn. She had some food and a tea. "Are you alright Lord Yata'Djinn?"

"I'm fine, Miss Shiroka, a little cramped, but fine nonetheless. Thankfully, In this state, I need not eat or sleep." Within the locket, Yata floated in a small compartment of space, devoid of time. However, the troll could see and hear everything around him. He had to admit, though he was continuously floating in a compartment he was far from bored viewing the old scenery he used to be familiar with, as well as talking to Shiroka. In all the time they traveled though, he had not bothered to ask her of her Queen... the matter intrigued him randomly an occasional memory of Shiroka's entered Yata's mind involuntarily, but he supposed the matter would be best discussed face to face. "We near the graveyard soon, Shiroka. It will not be long now." He said in an assuring and enthusiastic tone.

"I am sorry for my locket is so small." she said with a soft smile. "Indeed it is." she felt strangely tired. She wondered if it was because she was carried a second conscious with her or if it was because she was not used to having someone speaking through her mind.
Shiroka glanced at the locket. "Troll Yata'Djinn I have a question. I know that you might not want to answer...but...how come you ended up 'outside' of your body?" The maiden was quite puzzled but the fact that someone could be detaching body & mind. She could use magic with the control of the Holy Flame. But that seemed quite plain compared to what the troll could do. She remembered her discussion with this strange man at the Temple of Sun. She really wished she had been able to control water. Focusing back on Yata, she looked at the locket with intrigued eyes.

"No need for apologies, I'm happy to even have this vessel." He said with a small chuckle.
Yata listened to the question intently, nodding as Shiroka asked him.
"Ah, now there is a tale..." Yata began, nodding to himself as he closed his eyes, his mind wandering to a few weeks ago. "...You see, miss Shiroka, not too long ago I was placed with the task of Temporarily leading the Dawn Striders in the absence of our Captain. During those events, I came face to face with a traitor named Noah. In a last attempt to destroy him, I used an attack that was still in prototype... and in my foolishness, used too much power. In effect, the part of my mind that held all of my memories, and my conscious was transferred into Noah's own. This led to the discovery that Noah was actually weeding out the traitors of the factions that plotted to overthrow the different factions.
I was stuck in Noah's mind."
He stopped, thinking back for a moment.
"It turned out, that the hiding spot where I hid my old body wasn't a very good one, and within the week It was cocooned and eaten by spiders. It now seemed like I was to be permanently stuck in Noah's mind, but I found a way to break free, by putting myself in a meditative sleep. I wandered the realm of sleep for two years until I found the medium into this realm. A...friend of mine I met in the realm promised me a new body.
So, here I am."
Yata finished, opening his eyes, coming back from his memories to the material world. Indeed, there was more to the story, two years worth of stories from the realm of sleep, but he figured those would be saved for another time.

Shiroka was listening to the locket with wide eyes, like a child listening to a story. She was drinking his words. She shook her head at the mention of the traitor Noah, she feared with him locked into someone's else mind... At the end there was a pause, he was back from his memories, she was reflecting on her own thoughts. Then she gave a smile, despite being tired. "Then I am very glad that I helped you Yata'Djinn." Her sapphire eyes were true. She knew that the Queen would have congratulated her for her behavior.
Then that was her turned to fall into her past. Without noticing she slowly fell asleep. The sweetness and softness of the past memories giving her a warm cradle for the night.
The first lights of the day started Shiroka. She looked around puzzled by the day. Her gaze felt on the locket. "Yata'Djinn...are you here?" she felt strange to have fallen asleep like a baby. She hoped he was fine. She took the locket delicately between her white hands. "Yata...?" she asked with a little voice.
((sorry.... sweatdrop ))

((S'okay ^^)) Yata raised a pleasant aura around Shiroka as she began to rest, wishing her good dreams as she fell asleep. He really was grateful to the young swan of her help, and would repay her somehow, someday. He watched over her all through the night, un-needing to sleep himself. Even though he was in a locket at the moment, his psychic energies would have some influence on the world outside. Thankfully, the night was as peaceful as Shiroka's dreams, and Yata greeted her almost immediately after she awoke.
"I'm here, Shiroka..." He said, staring at her softly. "I hope you slept well, you must have been very tired to fall asleep so soundly." He said, his smile softer than usual.

He might have been a troll but he had manners. Shiroka softly blushed at his ton. "I must admit I was tired indeed." She rose and smiled. "But now I am ready to go!" She felt nice around the Dawn Strider. The way to the Graveyard passed very quickly. She was laughing. That was strange for her to feel so 'well'. It had been so long. Sometimes between two smiles, her eyes were glowing with some nostalgia.
After several hours of walk they reached the Graveyard. The maiden stopped at the entrance and looked. Empty. Desert. Only the wind to welcome them and the dark stones. "Is that here Yata'Djinn?" she asked in a whisper, as if her soft voice would wake up a baby. She let her gaze cross the cemetery. She could not see any body. "Where is your..." she hesitated "your body...?" she finished. That was such a strange question to ask.

Yata closed his eyes within the locket, coming back to his lords words...
...Yata, you will find your body within the catacombs of the land where the peaceful are now charred with the fire of mortal men... seek the broken gateway...
Yata wasn't sure of everything, but his master really couldn't be more obvious. Then again, he had honed his skills in his name for two years. He knew his master quite well by now...
"We must find the entrance to the catacombs that lead under the graveyard... there is a tomb that was constructed here, and my body seems to lie within..."
He paused for a moment.
"...There, the stone angel with broken wings..." He said, though he couldn't point, Yata led Shiroka's eyes in it's direction. "Out in the corners of the graveyard... there are four, but only one has it's wings broken off..."
Yata nodded, a broken gateway indeed.
The wings were on the floor near it, and he immediately knew the answer to it's simple riddle.
"We must place it's wings back on, those are the keys into the passages..."
