Welcome to Gaia! ::

Some good, some bad, some just dont care. Some of the demons of hell reside in this tower. Although the tallest place in hell, this is not the residence of the devil.

After roaming a good portion of the earth, Aerin grew bored with her current purpose. Nobody was in need of her services, and enough of the forests were safe such that no distress calls reached her, leaving her feeling rather dull. Having heard of a tower in which various beings who were likewise demonic in nature resided, she decided to visit it.

Twitching an ear, Aerin thought she heard a voice, crying for help. Blinking, she looked up towards the higher stories. Well, so much for a vacation. When there is someone in need, and I am able to oblige....It is my sworn duty to attempt aid. Sometimes I wish I could just pass it by...Something tells me, though, that this isn't the best time to do so. Raising up on hind paws, she hoped that her guise as a werewolf wasn't too alarming to whomever the caller was. Squinting as she searched the skyward tower regions, Aerin spotted a figure leaning against a barred window, peering back at her. Glancing about, she looked back up and answered the caller. "What is your trouble? I will help you, whatever your situation may be."

Moved by the strangers plea, Aerin looked away for a moment to think on it. She has the right reasons to be released, I believe, but how am I to let her out? True love shouldn't be imprisoned...Therefore it is only right to help release her. Here goes nothing...I hope. Unsure of how to enter the tower, she ran off to some nearby shadows. Best if this is seen by as few as possible. Closing her eyes for a second, she shifted to the form of a small raven, and flapped up to the story where her help had been called for in the beginning. Landing outside the bars, she peered inside. "Now, how exactly are you in this place?"

Looking at the door, then at the bars, Aerin wondered exactly what tactics would come to best use for the situation at hand. "Well, I'm not entire sure as to how I can break you out of this place, but I'll figure out something. First, though, I've got to get inside. There aren't any sort of barriers on this window other than the bars, is it? Something invisible, perhaps?"

"Hmm....Good point. Perhaps I can open the door from the inside then...I can't make any promises, but it can't hurt to try." Folding her wings tightly, Aerin managed to squeeze between the bars of the cell's window. Fluttering down to the floor from the windowsill, she stepped around and inspected the cell. Apparently, the lady's captors were less than hospitable, since they had left nothing but a dingy cot for sleeping on and a crude tray with rather burnt looking bread, some sort of goo in a bowl which she assumed was stew, and a pitcher of slightly cloudy appearing water. Fluttering to the cot, Aerin wondered about the keepers of the tower. "I see they treat everyone excellently....most termites have better housing than this. I'm Aerin, by the way...and you?"

Trying to keep her composure, Aerin blinked a few times after hearing the situation. "Well, Angel, if you don't mind me calling you that....This infernal cell shouldn't be too hard to break you out of. I've been in tighter fixes than this, after all.....You don't know when your lover is to be put to death, do you? I'm not sure as to whether this door will open...Which means I'd be busting down the outer wall there, and that might cause a bit of commotion."

Seeing Angel on the verge of crying, Aerin was overcome with emotion herself. "Aw, now, don't cry, Angel. I'll have ya out of this box in two shakes of a hellcat's tail. Just a few things first....I'm neither a demon nor an angel. Well, maybe I'm some sorta demon, but not one of those hellfire and brimstone types that locked you in here in the first place." Stepping off the makeshift bed, Aerin closed her eyes and hoped that the next events wouldn't surprise her rescuee too badly. Clearing her mind, she envisioned herself in her familiar guise of a werewolf, and let what power she had wielded since her beginnings do the rest. Cracking open an eyelid, Aerin noticed that as usual, her form had changed without a hitch. "Now....shall we see about getting that window removed?"
