 The water is fresh and is the home of many kinds of fish and other aquatic life. Some of the old legends of the land say that there's a mysterious monster that sleeps at the bottom of the lake, but who would be foolish enough to go looking for such a creature?

It had been a few days since ALi had gotten Loki's present. Oh boy lucky man. He got to spend two glorious days with 20 women of his choice Loki had seen him eyeing, all for him not even for her. Loki had stayed out of it completely.
Now though was the man's actual birthday and Luna had drug him out here at the crack of dawn to receive her present. The woman stared hard at Ali and looked out at the lake. "Listen to me carefully. My gift to you will last for 24 hours. Be careful with them. When they go back and you visit..you wont ever have to worry about those things trying to get them. They are forever protected."
Luna waved her hand and pointed at the Lake. "I call thee to come forth. I give you physical bodies for as long as I could. Enjoy your time with your father." Luna looked at Ali and smiled. "Happy birthday. Watch them rise from the water for you."

* Ali narrowed his eyes at Luna at first, then looked over at the lake. His expression turning even more serious and puzzled at the sight of a boy and girl carrying a infant walked up from the lake, he wasn't quite sure what he felt right now. His rage swelled up as Luna had more or less took his deceased kids and made them into temporary undead, then there was a joy of them actually being able to be around him for more then half and hour and lastly the underwhelming thought that they were like this only temporary. Ali tightened his fists a little at first until the kids were close enough to run up to him, Ali deciding to hide the anger for the time being and just try to have fun with the kids. He was grateful but even so, he is a complex person.*

Luna patted the kids on the head and looked at Ali she could sense the emotions and shook her head when they did reach Ali. "I dare not touch their bodies. I created new ones for them from scratch you could say. They wanted it for you. It's their gift, I just helped." It didn't come free for the woman she had paid her dues to even be able to do this, to create brand new bodies instead of raising the old, she would bear the scars of her trials for life. She forced a smile and bowed. "You guys have fun now."

* Ali gave Luna a brief glare before he looked back at the incoming kids, nearly toppeling over as they jumped into him. Smiling and feeling so warm. Ali made sure they were held and given plenty of kisses as he stood back up straight and held them against his chest, eventually letting them back down on the ground and have his voice turn a little stern.* You've taken quite the risks now, Can't say I'm too happy about that.
*Eli, his daughter looked over at her twin brother and then down at her big brother in her arms. Eventually looking back at Ali.* But we had too! If you had seen yourself through our eyes you would understand, To everybody else you look healthy, you act normal even you yourself sees this.
We see you the way you really look.* She moved closer to Ali and looked up at him, her big brother reaching out and touching Ali's pants.* For us you have wounds that nobody would be okay with, we've seen your life and we've seen what you've gone through. So we through that maybe this would close atleast one of the large wounds you have, we want you to have the same eyes and smile you had back when you were our age.* Ali watched them as they spoke, letting out a sigh afterwards and snickering a little.* I'm grateful, really. Now lets go get you some candy. I expect you've been longing for that.* Ali couldn't help to laugh when the kids eyes light up and they both shouted out at once a big excited "Yes!"*

Luna nodded her head and eyed Ali before he left. " They are safe. No harm will any longer befall them. I paid the price and will continue to do so." her voice got that dark stern tone, a serious one. "I've taken permanent care of that. Nothing will come near you." She waved to the kids and grinned. "Take care of your dad."
She turned on her heels and marched back towards the direction of the Graveyard. "I must sleep and heal." Only the Children, Her and those she sought help from knew prices paid. "Dont forget Ice cream!"

Wandering slowly around the lake, she found it hard to relax even here. The weight of what transpired in the past few days was still heavy on her mind and in her heart. Despite spending her whole life trying to be diplomatic with everyone she came in contact with, she found herself in the rather annoying situation of having judgment passed without the opportunity to defend herself. There was not even the possibility to negotiate terms or give feedback on the decision. However, her pessimistic side was rearing its head again, trying to make her believe that this was what was deserved, given the circumstances. With a light sigh here and there as she wandered, trying to ease her mind, she tried to keep her senses open in the event that anyone would approach. Now would not be the time to let her guard down.

* Ali narrowed his eyes a little and he walked in such a manner he would stop infront of her just a few meters away provided she stopped when she sensed him, Ali stopping at the edge of the lake and watching her for a couple of minutes.* I'm not used to have responsibility, my diplomatic ways have usually only been used to give me what I want. Even after all these years I still feel like I'm a kid trying to hold a planet in place so to speak, I feel obligation to protect the city I've made and the people living there who look to me for protection and prosperity, then I have personal relationships outside who often seems to fall into the crossfire. Usually I abandon or betray friends for my own gain, though this time nothing can be gained.* Ali glanced over at the lake and bit his lower lip a little, eventually nodding his head.* Euphoria isn't perfect, I tried but when you live in RDS then peace is a rarity. So people get scared, they try to find ways to contol the chaos and in this case it was unfortunatly you who the citizen looked upon as a tool to keep themselves safe.
However as much as you might dislike me and Euphoria, I've forced forward a change. Even threw my advicers out the window when they protested, well most of them.
This means you're in no danger what so ever, not even Yawg. Infact I'm gonna make sure he is feed, I'll let him hunt down some condemned criminals that I'll just ditch somewhere in RDS armed with different kinds of weapons so not to make it easy for him.
* Ali narrowed his eyes at Ziven, he had basically pissed of the entire city just because of her and Yawg. He'd be surprised if he wasn't forced out of the office within the nearby years.* Does this sound acceptable, because my plan B is to basically destroy all of Euphoria and reduce it to a ghost town.

Sensing his presence from a ways away, she continued walking until they were standing a bit farther than arms length from each other. Bobbing her head politely in greeting, she could not bring herself to speak for the moment. The thoughts on her mind were too much, she knew if she tried to speak, it would come flooding out in a jumble and she did not wat to do that.
Nodding as he spoke, she listened carefully. It was not often that he would speak his mind, so she would be patient and quiet while he spoke, taking it all in before responding. What he proposed did sound more acceptable than the other options, though she did not think Yawg would like that .. too close to being 'shooting fish in a barrel' and she considered other ideas instead.
That is, until he spoke of his option of 'plan B' ..
"What? No, I cannot allow that and to hell with what My Love may think. If he is that desperate to taste human flesh, he can go somewhere else. I believe he went to Euphoria because it is convenient .. nothing more." she said ending with a bit of a sigh. There was good intent behind his actions now and she did appreciate that. Unfortunately, she was not certain of how well this would sit with Yawg.

That's the thought that struck me too on the reason he was there, or he just wanted to cause hell* Ali crossed his arms infront of his chest as he watched her, didn't really matter. The Yawg thing was still on the drawing board anyways. as for Ziven, she was in the clear by Ali's orders and threats.*

"I do not know what to say. This decision is not mine alone to ponder, I am afraid." she said softly, looking to him with a sad expression. "I do not know if I should speak to him about this or if it would be better for you to. Hmm .. perhaps together? I am unsure .."

Doubt I'd be able to talk to him normally after the tantrum he threw, if anything he'll probably try to kill me at this point.* Ali smirked a little at the thought, eventually shrugging his shoulders.* Well now you know what's on the table so to speak.

"I agree, very much." she said softly. There was still quite a bit on his mind but for now, she knew it would likely be best to try to talk to Yawg about what Ali said.
"However .. This still does not rather sit well for me. And I do not believe it will sit well with him either. I am unsure exactly what would help." she said softly. Blue eyes turned to him, looking far colder than he would likely ever recall, as she was saddened, worried and still upset over this situation - not just with Ali and his people but with her husband also .. though not in the same way. "I think it would be best if I were to leave now."

Understandable.* Ali narrowed his eyes a little at the sight of hers, taking a deep breath. Well he was expecting everything to be okay just like that, if at all.* I should get back aswell, this entire thing have showed me that democracy doesn't always work.

She smirked a little, her eyes warming up a bit, and shook her head slightly from side to side also. "Democracy, like diplomacy, take time, my friend." she said softly. With a nod of her head and small gesture of her hand to wave farewell, she disappeared.
