Welcome to Gaia! ::

In the very heart of the Forbidden Forest, the Dark Lord Saraz arrived in the clearing. Three 30 foot Salagazh followed him as well as seven gray-robed accomplices as the Dark Lord strode forward. He was coldly handsome, with intense, deep blue-purple eyes. His long black hair fell over his shoulders, and his jet-black robes streamed off of him like solid smoke. He smiled, revealing teeth that were ever so slightly pointed. He gripped his wand and said, "We have arrived. I do not seek to rule the wizarding world yet. All we have to do right now is pillage it." He began pacing, talking to his followers.
"We shall first send them a message. Attacks on muggle borns should suffice. We shall begin to ensnare them by promising the power to protect their friends from the havoc we shall wreak upon this school. Unlike our late Tom Riddle, I care nothing for purity of blood. All I require in a wizard is intellect and power."

Kirra fallowed the group in, her boots crunching as she stepped over twigs and other debry. Rowena was right...something *was* here. If it would show it's face or not was a different story.

Kirra thought she heard a whispering noise- almost like a clock on the ground. She looked back. The others where a little ways behind her. Should she tell them? No it was to dangerous in case somethign heard her. But go on without them? Also dangerous...

Lily held her wand out, leaves crunching under her feet as she walked with the others deep inside the forest. She kept silent, straining her eyes to see and her ears to listen.

Kirra only started alittle at the flames. She had not been called daughter of Riddle before and frankly-it did not sit well with her that it came from such an obviously dangerous man.

She slashed her wand down her skirts then-taking a calming breathe-stepped though the flames, holding up her hands tell thee others not to try to fallow. The spell she used was simply luck that she remembered from her first year at Durmstrang.

Now that the flames were out of her line of vision-she could see his chillingly handsome features. She started slightly. What made her heart stop a beat? "Capable company? Who...you who harm students-innocnet children?"

The flames expanded, surrounding all of them. "I see my attacks have succeeded in getting your attention. I'm afraid they weren't my style at all," he continued lazily. "A diversion must be crude, attention-getting. I frown on such behavior, though it is sadly necessary." The snakes on either side of him hissed. "I am the Dark Lord Saraz. I have succeeded the late Tom Riddle." He made a beckoning gesture and the three were pulled toward him. The air was frigid around him, making their breath catch in their throat. "Come, Kirra. Surely you want to learn about your father? I knew him very well- I was his co-conspirator. Riddle did not want to share power, so I took a backseat to the whole affair, giving him advice and requesting nothing. I knew his power was going to crumble, and when it did, I was there to pick up the pieces."

Lily's eyes widened in fear and surprise. A new Dark Lord? She frowned and gripped her wand more tightly. "Lets cut to the chase shall we? What is your business here?" She demanded trying hard not to overreact.
