Protectors of the Earth

[KittKat chunky~]

As if one cue, the small cat appeared in front of Shiro. Blink, and you would have missed it. But he was there... "You called, master?" The cat coughed, a charred and blackened fish-bone falling out onto the floor... He smirked, looking around "I see that i have left for a few minutes, and suddenly dragons are dueling.... I say it doesnt seem as if you have everything under control here... master" He said the last word with extreme emphasis, and a little bow of his head.

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro looked down at the hole through his stomach.
"Thank you Kitt." he bent down and petted the cat. "Looks like you weren't needed after all. If you haven't found a fish yet, i'll go get you one. Just let me speek to emrelda first."
He turned to the dragon. "I think that voice in your head has already told you the answer." he grinned and pointed to the sword at Emrelda's hip. "You have to be more careful of how loud your conversations are.'

[Grace.E]

She didn't hit Shiro on the shoulder hard, she expressed how embarressed she was "Dont listen then" she bit her bottom lip as she felt a blush begin to paint her human cheeks, she fiddled with her pale, sweaty hands... she eyed the cat " there is a near by pond full of fish..." she nodded to the cat "you can check there"  she looked up at the darkened sky. stars were now beginning to litter the dark cloak of night. in the distance she began to see hints of moonlight. she watched Chrono fly back to her cave. she preferred if she took out Vakeed...but she knew how disturbing that would be. she gave Shiro a gentle, apologetic squeeze before entering her cave, she entered in the hidden door way that led down to her secret cave, she wanted some privacy for only a moment. the cave was lit up with the beautiful lights that came off the blue, green, white and purple crystals. the lights seemed to dance off the water. this was probably the most beautiful thing she has ever seen. she sat down cross legged by the waters edge. she opened her hands, palms face up. she wanted to try something she hasn't done in a long time. she breathed in and out. slowly a small sapphire and silver ball of mist formed in between her hands, a voice whispered a long forgotten language.the air grew uncomfortably heavy with celestial power, the ball of mist grew bigger until it shape shifted with a beautiful metallic sound into a ball sized sphere, mist swirled around the ball and herself. on her body she began to see the familiar body tattoo's of a full celestial. what she was doing now was the most powerful celestial spell...a spell with no name, only it was known as  'The Pearl', only the Celestials knew what it can do. a small smirk touched her lips "this will help me to bring this whole Oonagi case to an end" with a clap of her hand, the pearl evaporated with a loud, thunderous clap. the air still heavy with celestial power, but her tattoo's began to slowly go away.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono went over to the library, and waited for Emrelda to show up before he gives Vakeed a chance to explain himself. Zoraida however, had slid out of Chrono's hand, and carried Vakeed's spirit over to where Chrono's pack was. She opened it up and took out a bag filled with crystals, and put Zakeed into a black crystal before handing him to Chrono and sitting on the couch. Chrono joined her soon after as he felt that since she was his only weapon, she needed to be close to him at all times...

[Grace.E]

Still covered in the Celestial tattoo's, she walked into the library. she sat in the comfortable throne like chair. she saw the crystal and extended her hand. she noticed she still smelled of heavy Celestial power. "Lets talk now Vakeed" Io's voice chuckled Yes...lets, tell me how is my second eldest daughter doing? Emrelda eased back into her comfy chair "Tell me, whats gotten into you? along with the previous questions I asked earlier" her voice came out dark and...seductive though it was unintended she knew that this trick will work quiet well. Io sighed in content, he was proud of his wielder.

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro watched the pearl with minor curiosity.
"Well if you don't want people to listen, don't shout about it." he grinned.
"Come on Kitt, lets go get you a fish." he said and put the cat on his shoulders.

[Grace.E]

annoyed, she glared at Shiro "There is a lake down the hall, where I keep some of the most exotic and tasty fish, just don't over feed because I eat fish too" she noticed slightly burn marks from the pearl she casted earlier. "and also you shouldn't eves drop into my mind, the only person who is allowed to do that is myself" she stuck out her tongue in a child like notion, blowing a raspberry.

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro looked back and stuck out his own tongue. At the lake, he made quite an attempt to grab the fish, ending in his landing on his tail with a huge fish in his arms squirming around.
"This big enough Kitt?"

[Grace.E]

The burn marks on her hand were gone with a blink of an eye, she turned to face the black Crystal, her eyes narrowed but had a gleam of triumph and element of disturbing amusement "So...how does it feel to be dead?" she chuckled "If I were the one to kill you, you would of been slowly and horrific"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono held the crystal up, and it flashed for an insant before Vakeed stood before Emrelda as an apparition. Guilt was evident on his face as his mortal body could no longer distract him with earthly desires.

"I know you don't want to hear this Emrelda... but I kept quiet for your sake only." He looked at Chrono with a hint of fear, but Chrono nodded his head for him to continue.

"Isobela, was already at death's door when you adopted her... I killed her to spare you the guilt of having her die in your arms. I doubt I'll have a pleasant existance for the crime I did, but I know it was the only thing I could do beyond letting her go to sleep and never awaken."

[Grace.E]

Emrelda trembled in sadness, her heart began to ache for the loss of her adoptive daughter "I would rather she rather died in my arms than be slaughtered as though she were a pig... why did you care anyway...I have seen what you have done to women, why am I so special?"
because you are pure Sinsherogosa she growled "shut up Io, I am anything but pure" tears streamed from her eyes, made the amber color sparkle. her face fell into her hands. "And also why is Taea soo...interested in Chrono?"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Vakeed put a hand behind his ethereal head as he tried to come up with a decent way of saying it.

"'Brother' is the only one who can exert dominion over her, and he is also the only one who was given knowledge of where the locks were and how to unlock them. My 'Mistress' thought that if 'Brother' died by my hands, I would be considered more worthy of the knowledge and she would then use me to free her sisters. But you have already seen what he is capable of without elemental strength, so Taea has all but given up on seducing him." Chrono put a hand up to get Vakeed's attention, then cleared his throat.

"What do you mean I can 'exert dominion' over Taea?!"

[Grace.E]

Exert Dominion...oh yes, she knew that well " It means that you must take over her, use her as if she were a slave...other wise also known as political rule" she lifted her head from her hands "you did some history studying haven't you?" she got up and picked out a book " year 413 through 512, I hope you were alive that year, when Empress Keiri Brygthwing was in power over Europe and half of Asia?"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono nodded, even though it was usually Zoraida who told him about history. He tried to recall his lessons, and was able to remember the basics of invoking contracts.

Do not fear the power you call, the purpose of the contract is an alliance between the elemental and contractor.

He raised out his arms, and the looked at Emrelda with some nervousness before going through the summoning rites of the 'contract'. "Taea, gem of the earth, jewel of the Black Forest, and treasure of Gaea's earthen might: I summon thee!" Taea appeared the next second after he finished the rites, expecting him to have called her out in hopes of reconciling. However, she was in for a surprise when Chrono raised an arm and green circles appeared on her neck, wrists, and ankles. "Kneel before your master, Taea..." "Evrin, is that really ne-" Taea did as he commanded but anyone could tell she was fighting his dominion over her. Chrono lowered the hand and Taea quickly got up and lunged at him, but Chrono only whispered four words and she had vanished as quickly as she appeared. "I dismiss thee, Taea."

The next few moments, it seemed Chrono had put himself in a trance during the summoning as he shook his head and then stared around in confusion. That was when the realization kicked in and he felt guilt about his command. "Man, I really hope I don't have to do that again..."

[Grace.E]

Emrelda blinked before she burst out laughing, she stood up and placed a hand on his head, she leaned in close so they met eye to eye " good job, now you have one down and three more to go" she gave him a pleased smile, her hand trailed from his head to caress his cheek "Now, tomorrow, we shall set out to go get them, hopefully Taea will be of use" Io's voice popped up this is a good opprotunity for him, a beautiful wo- Emrelda cut him off not now Io she pulled away, her fingertips lightly trailed his cheek "Now, I think we should all get some sleep, its been a long day..." she walked out of the Library down to her now 'not so hidden cave' "you may sleep in this cave, its big enough to hold a village" she traveled down the steps and into the beautiful cave...sleep never sounded better. she founded a spot, she deided not to go into her dragon form, she would have to transform back anyway 'if' they ever did set out on a quest to deal with the other ones. she rested her head on a rock.
you know...I think you need a lesson in romance Io's voice called, Emrelda groaned "not now, sleep first"  suddenly the sword glowed, shifted, to her horror, he took on the form of Chrono.
"Is this better?" Emrelda's hand transformed into her talon, she swiped at him, he dodged easily "your not funny Io, go away" she rolled over, not looking at him. she felt a hand snake around her waist and pulled her back to face him "GO AWA-" she was cut off by a kiss, her eyes buldged and after a moment of shock, she pushed him away with such angry force. "get away from me!" rubbing her mouth she curled up again. "you liked it" she didn't reply but fell asleep. she needed all the energy she could get for tomorrow.
