Welcome to Gaia! ::

(consult the map faith. those who painstakenly make them deserve to have their question answered with a view, and besides its a few clicks away.)

[[Aw, thanks. xD Well, that's okay. smile ]]

Ayame nodded with a slight bow, "Indeed Empress Lyra." Her voice was soft, and there was a calm expression on her face, with a trace of a smile upon her lips. She bowed to everyone else in the room, and made her exit only moments after Lyra had left. She was actually quite hungry, since she hadn't eaten since before the meeting began.

Shavas paled, and nervously licked her lips as she edged away from the shadow mage.
"T-thats quite all right, I have magic that will take me there."
(I did consult the map, and suddenly remmembered about the vale. Now I want to go there... herm.)

Backing up, she subconsciously put Nadira between the two of them, and grasped her shoulders.
"What of Nadira? Is she to stay here, or shall we bring her along? The black mage tower is perilously close to Laos's new Lair, and there are bound to be demons running rampant throughout the surrounding forest. Not to mention his evil majesty himself who resides only a few leagues away."

Delving into her magic, she began to prepare for the trip. Her form of trasportation was like a supernatural highway in another realm. It would take hours to reach the correct portal in the other place, but only an instant on this plane of existance.
A drop of sweat beaded on her brow when she remmembered the Shadow place Tsuki enjoyed dragging Shavas off too.

" We can use the towers to try and locate the magic I spoke of earlier. If it works that hopefully we can at least have it at hand when we find the appropriate vessal. We also need a way to null the affects of the potion Sibel drained into the waterways. Pure wild magic is rare enough as it is without her preying off the power of innocent creatures."

She let out an explosive breath, and massaged her temple. The dark magic was beginning to poison some of her thoughts. High pitched, maniac laughter echoed within the confines of her mind. Submerged memories returning to the surface as the familiar touch of its former cohort.

Marta Smiled and nodded when Lyra suggested comming along "that would be a good thing for me and my people" she responded when Lyra left she excused her self and followed after when Lyra found the private area for bathing she cleared ehr throat "empress Lyra do you mind if i join you?" she asked it was a questioning tone but the confidance didnt leave her voice

Toleranth touched the respective points ont he map and more pieces formed, and he left them set upon the map, on the pieces themselves was etched the name of their respective holder.

"Just be sure your holding onto that piece when you jump into the world of shadows to get out of here. I would not wish the headache you would recieve without it on anyone. If anyone has any further questions I'll return in few moments, after telling SalSane what has happened to her mate."

Tolly bowed respectfully to everyone before he left in the direction SalSane went in.

Marta sighed and made a slight bowing gesture as she too her sword off and set it beside the bathing hole "why is it that i was icnored before and i had to act that way just to get any ones respect" she asked her honey brown eyes swimming with confusion

Tolly caught up to SalSane and her three children had gone off to do other things. SalSane tried to make the space she occupied more presentable for her king, but he merely took her hand; "Vermillion won't be coming back, he was killed by the forces under Loas before we arrived here, and I'm very sorry for the loss of a great husband. However he did leave behind a legacy for you and your children to be proud of, and the hope to defeat this evil before us and rise victoriously once more." "So that is just it huh, he dying on a misson to just get two waring kingdoms to like each other. However it took him dying to finally finish the job with your help of course. Its highly unfair, almost murder, but his life will be swept under the rug down the road."

Tolly let go of her hand and turne dhis back to her. "You make strong accusations that have no foundation, you yourself shunned your husband for the longest time after his crime, and it was after I took him in and turned his life around you came crawling back into the picture. However, place the blame where you may, but it won't change the fact he is dead. My only regret was the inability to retrieve his body for proper burial. He deserved that much of a honor."

"I'll go kill this Loas for his crime against my house." Tolly spun around; "You'll do no such thing, if such was possible do you think we would be wasting our time hiding in caves like rats? Save your anger for the coming battle, but right now grieve for him. Your confined tot he operations of this base, your aide up in the hostpital levels is much needed."

Tolly walked away leaving that said as is, but he did not return to the planning area, instead he passed through it on his way to get something to eat.

Nadira nodded solemnly and stepped closer to Tsuki, holding her arm out expectantly and mentally bracing herself for whatever form of transportation that could drive a powerful sorceress nearly to hysterics at the mere mention of it. At that a small, evil smile twisted the corners of her mouth.

Shavas felt her stomach lurch at the thought of another shadow ride, and gratefully let her awareness delve deep into the cool pool of magic.
She felt a rush of power as she became one with the power, its sparkling essence flowing through her veins. Reaching out tentatively she brushed Nadira's surprisingly fortified conscience and slipped through a small crack in its armor.

I'll see you on the other side... Hopefully. She stated matter-of-factly, a morbid gleam in her dancing golden eyes.

A sudden painful stab at her mind made her cringe, but her powerful barriers proved more than effective to block off everything but a small aftershock, which was what she was feeling now. Grimacing, Shavas send her power forth and administered a hearty slap to the unsuspecting demon ic presense and felt it leap back with a jolt of surprice.

She laughed heartily as she slipped through the portal. Her vision clouded, the two worlds churning together in an untangible mass before it finally stopped.

She stood on the other side, and could still view the others to her great amusement. Nadira stared at where the sorceress had once stood with increduality, her mouth hanging open. Shavas snickered, and proceeded to demolish her conjured entryway, It definatley wouldn't do for Laos's servants to discover a window into the resistance's headquarters.

Painful tendrils of the alien magic were threading there way thoughout her body, leaving a spiderweb-like patters across her skin that stung, and burned with a stubborn ferocity. fortunatly it was only starting to appear across her arms, and so long as she found the cure at the tower, Shavas would be fine. Hopefully.
Otherwise, her days were limited before an outbreak of that evil insanity that had once had a grip over her in the past war. That wouldn't do at all, should her search go on for too long, Shavas would be forced to take her own life in order to protect the rest of humanity. A heavy feeling of dread settled in her gut, and refused to budge despite her weak attempts at self-assurance.
