"Oh... well... I suppose you should call me Vara. I am Sailor Nott, the black hole senshi of Asgardia. Well, the first sailor jupiter gave her life to place a seal upon an evil god we call Ragnarok using the power of an ancient Sailor Nott which requires a willing sacrifice of a pure soul. It is a forbidden attack so there must have been no other choice or Sailor Nott would never have been allowed to use it. Because you are the current incarnation of Sailor Jupiter only your life and my blood can break the seal. I thought it would require my willing participation but the cult which has worshiped that god since ancient times has apparently found a way around that..." she explained at the request for more details. She added the explination of the attack as an after thought, remembering that the black hole senshi watching over the milky way was not known to most. Many thought her dead as nothing seemed to make her appear. Thankfully nothing had escaped the holes there so it wasn't really a problem yet....

"You'll have to forgive me if I call you Jupiter again by accident... Miss Makoto, I am not use to someone who shares their civilian name so easily.I have not been among friends in a long time. The man we're heading towards is a Sentry or male Sailor senshi. I dont know which name he'll want you to use as it has been...... some time since we saw one another before today. He will have animalistic features like myself, please do not be alarmed. All Native asgardians have them, they reflect one's inner spirit beast. Mine is a small creature similar to an earth...what are they called again, oh yes, Cat. It is called a S'kisa and lives in trees" She added quietly. She seemed slightly sad as she mentioned the Sentry, as she'd realized she didn't really know Kol anymore. The way he had walked out and was so determined to do things on his own was new....and worried her immensely. She'd barely survived the presumed death of their beloved princess, for she was sure Lomi had to be dead not to be fighting, she wasn't sure she could take the death of Kol too.

She shook off the inner thought and continued to lead Jupiter. She stopped when she sensed that she was near Kol but frowned when she didn't see him. Her pupils shifted slightly as they searched the dark corners, becoming more cat like to see in the dark shadows. She would finally spot him and gave him a nod of acknowledgement, not really sure what to say. Earlier she'd been mad at him for ordering her around but now she simply felt uncertain. She wasn't sure who he was anymore, no matter how forgiving he'd been with her. Perhaps he'd simply looked at it practically and didn't really feel any concern for her at all anymore? He'd become more difficult to read...

Mars? Earth? Was it the same Earth from the legend? She tried to tell herself it was just a legend, but it tallied too well. "Earth, you say?" She lowered the bow, still keeping the arrow nocked. What galaxy had that been? And how long ago? She shook her head slightly, focusing on the other comment she had made. "Well, with the weather, and the vegetation, I can assure you we are not on Skati. One of the warmer planets, Jortha, perhaps?" She took a better look around, keeping the woman, Sailor Mars... hadn't that been another planet in that galaxy?... in sight. "The stone brought me here, and I am guessing one brought you?"

((Oh, dear lady, please don't die now!))

(Lulz. I don't know what to write without doing a one liner.. >_< )

((well she could always answer yes about the stone, speak about her search for Jupiter and/or ask what the hell Jortha is since she's never heard of it or Asgardia and/or ask about why Skati has animal features and so on))

(I don't think that would be long enough >_< )

((And Vetur [skati] isn't in her senshi form yet, so ask about the clothing, too! Adding a description of her more thoroughly assessing her would add length, too.))

----------

((I'm going to go, I have a few things out of the house to take care of, be back on later!))

((Just focus on each item individual, on how Rei feels about it, how the items come to mind. etc)

The lost temple of Jortha, a nearly mythical place created when the first life appeared on Jortha. It had long ago been swallowed by the planet itself on the death of the first queen. Some even said the planet had stolen her body away to the place, burying her in the flowers she loved. Only the gaurdian knew for sure and it wasn't telling. Still, if she was a place to be buried it was definitely a beautiful place, and one she would have loved.

There was no obvious entrance, the oxygen supplied by the plants above as they pulled it from above ground and than released it through their roots into the oval chamber. The cave walls, floor, and even much of the marble temple were covered with exotic flowers from all over the universe, even flowers from outside Asgardia. The temple itself was simple, with no walls except the very back with only pillars holding the roof above the smooth marble floor. Inside towards the back there was an alter, a few cabinets and a simple bed for the gardian.

What drew the attention, however, would likely be in the very center of the domed structure. It was a rectangular base of marble, vaguely reminiscent of an altar. It had many carvings along its sides and flowers with their vines seemed to grow from these carvings mystically, power radiated from it. Upon this slab was the broken and wounded body of Princess of Jortha, known as Princess Wisteria. Her eyes were closed and her skin pale, her power fighting the curse that should have killed her...with the aid of the stone. The vines that grew from it had attached to her skin, pouring the power of the planet into her to aid her struggle. Still, she lay unconscious.

The spirit of the first queen had appeared when she was lain upon the stone, if only for a moment. The beautiful and ancient soul had predicted she would awake. She said that Sailor Jortha would awaken when, and only when, she was most needed. The white spirit than disappeared without another word, no matter who tried to summon her. Of course.... This would likely imply to the guardian that the ancient queen was attempting to help Jortha from the inside somehow...

Tarashi ran a hand through his hair while tried to keep an attentive look on his face. The shock of being told their prisoner escaped had passed relatively quickly, and now the barer of the news was just rambling. He could have gone to collect Seitha and the others and be back already if the lesser demon would just shut his mouth!

Fighting a sigh, he carefully let some of his power slip into the other man's aura . In reality he just stopped holding back the influence his power had on others, but he liked to feel like he had more control over it than it did over him. The other man's voice wavered slightly and he furrowed his brows a bit, becoming distracted. The confusion quickly became embarrassment, the demon's face flushing red as he tried not to let his eyes wander over the officer. Tarashi bit back a laugh as he watched, his pale eyes glimmering mischievously as he allowed his aura to take a taste of the other's energy, nothing the demon would miss.

The other man quickly excused himself, turning sharply to practically run back down the hall. Laughter spilled from Tarashi's lips as the man nearly ran into a pillar in his rush to turn a corner. He would probably get in trouble for this later, but he honestly didn't care. He had been told to stop harassing the underlings dozens of times and he had yet to truly be punished. With laughter still shaking his shoulders, Tarashi turned and headed out to the gardens, almost sure that was where Seitha would be.

Seitha did not easily tolerate the company of the cultists so preferred being out in the sunshine. She'd told the leader, who was not an asgardian at all, that it had to do with her spirit beast. She said she needed to be outside and the leader had no way to tell she was lying so allowed her this freedom... even if not anymore than that. She was under constant supervision as her twin had not yet joined the rank of the cult... but the leader's arrogance allowed him to believe her converted with little proof. Her twin had no real offensive attack alone so would be almost helpless should he get her alone and want to kill her, the threat of doing so he figured would keep Sei easily under control.

She sighed slightly when she sensed a presence approaching and glanced back curiously. She had already heard that there was an escape....Jupiter. She'd wondered aloud who and how which of course had simply made the gaurd in charge angry and huff off. She smirked at the thought but it faded as she saw it was. Tarashi, the one put in charge to make damn sure she wouldn't turn on the cult. By force or trick was left up to him...

"Tarashi...." She greeted coldly, her voice more like a chill wind then the fire of her sun. She leaned back upon the tree behind her with her hands in her pockets and her wings slightly outstretched. She held no expression as she gazed at him with those icy gold eyes that were so like a Hvitur. She waited in silence then for him to tell her what this little visit was about. She seemed to hold him in contempt for watching her, orders or not.

(Just so I get this right...does whatever her name is, have wings or what? O.o )

((Hey sorry that I dissappeared guys! Usually I won't be about to post on weekdays, especially today and Tuesdays...and probably weekends but the other days should be fine! Though midtemrs are upon me. Just so you know ^^;; ))

“The black hole senshi?” Makoto murmured, surprised to hear such a senshi existed. Though with everything that has happened in her life every since she became Sailor Jupiter, she guessed she shouldn’t be so surprised. But still; perhaps Ami or even Luna would know? A twinge of uneasiness passed through as she thought about her friends; she really hoped they were all OK and safe who knew where they could be on this planet, if they even were here.

But her tale of the past Jupiter giving up her life for a seal was also news to her. Makoto was sure she had never heard of such a story even if her past life, so it must certainly been an ancestor of hers. It worried her that now they wanted her life to break this seal but at the same time it felt strange; usually she was the one ready to defend others not the one to be protected. She secretly hoped it didn’t prevent her for battles; she felt she owed whoever the leader of the cult was a lesson.

“Makoto by itself is fine Vara,” The brunette replied, “I’m not used to being called a Miss anyway.” She explained, taking in the senshi, listening to what she said about her friend. So having animal parts was normal around here? At least Vara’s was one she was comfortable with; it reminded her much of Luna and Artimus. Though not as close to them as Usagi and Minko was, they were very kind to the senshi and so very helpful.

She paused alongside Vara when the woman took a look at the darker areas of the cave. Makoto assumed her friend was somewhere in it and being so close to a cat she must’ve also gained their sight. She vaguely wondered if his inner beast was a cat; could two of them even have the same inner beast? She wasn’t sure.

“So…you said there could be a chance that a friend of mine could be here?” she wondered, keeping a lookout on her surroundings. She would be damned if she was to be kidnapped again.

((yeah she does XD. Feathery on the outside/back part and then leathery/dragony on the inside/front part. Her spirit beast is a Hvitur, that tiny bird dragon thingy that Jorthan's use as messengers. She also has talons though they only get sharp when she's irritated))

((Vetur has furred dragon wings, I'm about to get a pic up of her for you to see.))

The only movement in the temple cavern was a large scarlet body, pacing quietly among the flowers. Hir beaked face looked thoughtful, and the wings twitched at odd moments. The blue and gold eyes kept finding their way to the princess, and the thoughts that wound their way through hir mind were not comforting. To take hir other form, go to the surface, and try to help? Or to stay here, waiting for the princess to wake? Shaking hir head and continuing hir slow lap of the cavern, ze tried to weigh the choices.

((Explanation for the pronouns I used: gender-neuteral pronouns))

Rei folded her arms going into deep though. "Okay, let me get this straight, you're an alien, I'm on an alien planet I never heard of whatever light years away from Earth...and ugh..." She thought she would be getting a migraine thinking about all of this. What exactly was this girl anyway, some type of bird-thing? "What are you anyway?" She more than likely came off as rude in her speech, but that was Mars.

She waited for an answer when her stomach began to growl. "You want to help me find food? I figure since you're some type of hunter it's be easy...then again I wouldn't want to eat or touch anything here." She said looking around. Maybe it didn't look too different from Earth, but then again she hadn't been here long enough.

((Sorry, but she gave you the wrong wing description... she doesn't have feathers, that's another character I'm making.))

(Ugfghhhh...)

((I have a pic of Vetur! Veturungbarn Ondervald))

((i thought you were asking about Sunna sorry xD))

( Lulz xD yeah I wor better with a picture, descriptions confuse me... )

((I almost always make pics of my characters.))

((lol well other than the talons just think small winged angel looking for Sunna and her twin sister Dagr hmm? but with dragon wings covered in feathers instead of bird wings. They're the most human of the bunch *needs to get around to drawing my characters...* XD))

(All I know is, it's a giant chicken...and Mars can use fire...and she's hungry...)

((? Sailor Skati, the one near Mars doesn't even have feathers.... she has fur on her wings and the tail of a wolf and small horns as show in the pic draki showed above, how is that chicken? XD. For that matter how do angels look like chickens? :/. ))

(When I say they do. >3> Nerp.)
