Welcome to Gaia! ::

Samuel laughed as he let go of his father and looked down to Evan and raised an eyebrow. "YOU'RE TELLING ME THIS LITTLE RUGRAT SET YOU FREE?! FROM THE VATICAN?!?" He boomed before crossing his arms. "WHEN NOT EVEN LUCY COULDN'T?" He said as he began laughing before turning and walking towards the Mansion. "MAYBE MOTHER WIL BE PROUD OF YOU FINALLY." He said as he bellowed out in laughter before leaping away.

"...." Evan sighed as he began walking again. "Yea...Mother..." He said softly as the cage began rolling again.

Zalera raised an eyebrow. "Seems Victoria has been rather rough on these kids." He muttered as he began to follow his two sons.

Lucy's eyes locked on the group as she raised an eyebrow. "I don't know who you lot are but..." She said as she walked infront of the others and crossed her arms. "Thank you for keeping the runt safe..." She said softly before her eyes locked on Nick. "Hmm?" she said as her ponytail twitched slightly. "Alarune? What is it?" She muttered before looking back at Nick before pointing at him. "You..." She said coldly. "There is no way my brother freed my dad by himself....I don't know what powers you lot possess...but seeing how you drug an executive here as well then that means a secret is hidden here..." She said sternly. "Better not let my mother see into your souls then...she'll see everything if that happens." She warned as she turned and followed after her family.

"We're his friends. We do what we can to keep each other safe." Skye said in response to Lucy's thanks and warning. She felt like it might not be so easy to keep Nick's white essence a secret. "We'll explain everything soon." She said calmly to Mizori when she started asking questions. Then there was the matter of Evan. She walked to Joe's side and placed a hand on his arm that still held his mace and gave him a look that said 'not now.' They'll have to wait to talk about this and preferable when his family's not around. It seemed clearer now that the corruption in him won't be able to be controlled for long. After giving her message to Joe, she continued on ahead, following after the Renoirs.

Reaching a hand up to the cage, Mizori's held almost no strength as her fingers gripped it's bars. The fog that had gripped her for the most part had lifted. Her eyes, now focused, stared towards Joe's back. He had stepped in front of her as Evan spoke dark at her. "Where are you taking me" she asked. Her voice weak and almost inaudible. What was going on around her. How had she gotten to such a place. Her mind could almost not comprehend what had happened. "What is this place? Where is the Vatican forces?" Mizori's voice a tad louder this time still held no strength to it. As Evan had said she her body held all but no strength.

Once again she tried to make it to her feet within the cage as it moved with no avail. She felt helpless and scared currently. She had been some how captured by the ones she had been trying to capture. She worried for Muzet and Jedar. If they had captured her it must have been at the Vatican. Why couldn't she remember tho? "Don't ignore me!" She tried to shout. They were acting like she was nothing more then a caged creature currently. They had payed little attention towards her other then Evan threatening her.

"It's best if you are quiet for now child of Yggdrasil." Looking over his shoulder Joe looked towards Mizori. "You aren't strong enough to do much in your position. For now rest, we haven't decided what to do yet with you. So for now you are safe." Sighing as he looked back to even as he spoke Joe's eyes traced him. He listened to his friends as they spoke keeping silent until both Skye and Evan talked.

Crossing his arms Joe again put his weapon away. Evan for the moment seemed to have regained himself. "If I may intervene in your thoughts of this....demon you wish to make a contract with." Joe stepped in looking at Evan. "You can hardly keep control of yourself as this creature keeps residing within you. Do you think that you will be able to keep such a power under control as a partner?" Uncrossing his arms he looked down at Evan as he moved closer to him being the taller of the two. "Do you think such a thing is wise my friend? Not all demons will be happy sharing power." His words were a warning to Evan. Joe felt that Evan's mind was still clouded in the situation he we in. He felt that he was not thinking as clear as he should be.

Nick remained silent and calm as everyone seemed to have their own opinion on everything. It mattered little to him, everything had a beginning and an end, and despite having an all important goal to accomplish, the Assassin couldn't be bothered to worry. Meh, this'll all sort out soon.

Evan nodded and smiled. "Now, my mom may seem sweet but..." He said sternly. "She's the queen of the underworld here so she is rather brutal...." He said shuddering at the thought of his mother's monstrous side. "Nick, stay away from Lucy, she was the one who raided the Vatican before we arrived." He warned before taking another deep breath. "Let's get this over with shall we..." Evan said as he begin walking back towards the Mansion.


The group was greeted by a demon butler who held the door open for them as they entered the Mansion's marble foyer. Evan's hands clenched into fists as he stepped in line between his siblings as the three of them suddenly bowed.

The clicking of heels could be heard descending the marble staircase infront of the group as a woman in a long purple dress walked down them. "Well well...look who has come scurrying home..." A elegant yet cold voice rang out as the woman reached the bottom of the stairs. she had a cigarette in a holder which she toke a hit from before blowing out a cloud of smoke that changed different shade of purple. Her hair was up in a bun with two long purple pins holding it up but letting some drape over her right eye. Her deep purple eyes locking on the people infornt of her.. "Evan....my sweet..." she said coldly before putting her index finger under his chair and raising him up. "What are you doing home?" She asked as she toke another hit of her cigarette before blowing the smoke in his face. "Hmm?" She asked softly. Evan explained why they were there to her and that was all before his mother put a finger to his lips. "The pure essence?" she said before smiling and beginning to laugh. "You? Who are you to replace your father?" she said as she walked back up the stairs and turned to everyone. Her eyes locked onto Zalera and she furrowed her brow in distaste. "So...you freed him?" She said simply as Evan nodded. "How?" She asked before scanning the rest of Evan's group. "The lock, placed by the most dreadful light walker, could not be broken by even myself. Yet you expect me to believe that my weakest child, with no magic, managed to break it...." She said sternly as she toke another hit of his cigarette.

"Victoria." Zalera said as he stepped forward. "It doesn't matter how I became free...What matters is that I am here for you, but I need the pure essence and to return the flow of souls back to normal." He said as he approached his wife.

Victoria raised an eye brow and laughed. "You managed to free yourself by sheer luck and will and with the help of our hopeless child...and you expect me to let you back into this house?" She said coldly as she stood her ground. "No...I raised these three by myself...and with the amount of souls in the world moved our tribe's home to this safe spot....We were almost wiped out by that horrid light suck up Zennerman and that poisonous Morrison. So if you some how got a hold of Zennerman's light there isn't anyway of you being free...unless you had some agreement with him." She accused Zalera. "But we'll discuss that later...." She said walking down the stairs and to Mizori's cage. "What's this?" She said as she toke another hit of her cigarette. "Oh....you've brought me a present Evan hun....I never had a Mare Executive soul before...." She got close to the bars before blowing smoke into the cage. "I know where I'll put you...." she said standing up. She whistled as a demon butler appeared. "Take that dried up weed to the purple room....and get her out of this..." She said as she ran her finger over the cage. "What....is this material..." She looked to her kids before blowing more smoke on the cage making the data fall apart and return to Evan. "Oh....my boy..." She said shocked as the smoke wrapped around mizori and formed cuffs and chains. She hurried to evan and grabbed his cheeks and kissed his forehead. "You've gained magic!" She said happily. "Perhaps you're not as unless as I thought you once were!!" She said happily before hugging Evan. "Jeves take the Executive down to the purple room...I'll be down shortly to poke and prod into her soul. Jennings!" She called as another butler appeared. "Get rooms ready for our guests, prepare a feast for tonight...and prepare the arena tomorrow...Tomorrow we see what Evan here can do...but tonight we dine in honor of his medium awakening and our guests from other lands!" She said as the demon disappeared. Victoria walked to the top of the stairs and turned to the group. "Sorry for being rather rude to you travelers. I am Madame Victoria Renoir, You know Evan, My oldest Son is Samuel Renoir, The chain Reaper, and my Daughter Lucy Renoir, the Wicked Weave Reaper." She said smiling. "Welcome to Transkyo...the Demon underworld." She said before disappearing upstairs

Evan sighed a breath of relief before turning to his friends and walking to them. "Don't worry...my mother only has a grudge against white users. The dryad's soul should be safe until I bust her out later tonight..." He said rubbing his arm. "The purple room is a room made with demonic runes that prevent the use of powers other than purple in it...and if you had control over purple essence it weakens you to the point of almost passing out..." He said as his brother and sister approached from behind.

Samuel smiled towards the group and his eyes locked on Joe causing him to raise an eyebrow in curiosity. "JUDGING BY THAT HAMMER YOU HAVE THERE..." He said as he crossed his arms and smirking. "YOU'RE FROM THE THUNDER CRAG REGION AREN'T YOU?" He said as he chuckled. "A TRUE WARRIOR KNOWS A FELLOW WARRIOR JUST BY LOOKING AT THEM!" He said as he flexed his arms and made electric sparks flow through the chains wrapped on them.

"And you...." Lucy said looking at Skye before looking at her wrist and seeing the crystal wrapped around it. "..You must have been the girl who replaced Marcus..." she said as she crossed her arms. "Hmm...." she said softly before laughing. "You seem nice enough to replace that fruity Merman...."

Nick couldn't claim to be the most virtuous of individuals, but everything about Evan's family seemed so messed up, and that was coming from a guy who killed people for a living and had been orphaned. But still, despite how little he remembered of his parents, it was a little irritating to hear his Father being called a suck up. Then there was the way she talked and then the way Evan's siblings carried themselves. It's a damn miracle the kid managed to stay sane. Nick thought, the White user keeping his hands in his pockets and weapons strapped across his back. He was sure someone would inevitably want to talk to him and inquire about his won essence, these people definitely seemed like the prying sort. He'd have to lie, use an alias and when push came to shove, use his secondary powers to try and keep up the facade. "You guys mind if I light up in here, or would you rather I go outside?" Nick inquired.

Nick gave a cold, apathetic stare toward's Evan's sister, saying nothing while lighting up a smoke. The Assassin took a short drag before exhaling. "I'll be sure to keep that in mind." He said finally, not bothering to comment on the dreams and visions thing.
