((LOL your poor boyfriend. Ya know....I never cry when something bad happens. I just get angry. Maybe unless I make the bad thing happen....mm...no.

(( He will be fine xD I think.... lol and what? you made them do what? lol atleast they stoppped fighting though xD haha))

((Ohhh I made them do all sorts of things....I earned my nickname "Miss Torture" fair and square. >D They learned I only meant well, though. And....is Seth gonna wake up? Rai's kinda like "uhh...whaddoIdo?" ))

((Ill wake him up after I get back from the bathroom.... BRB... lmfao and congrats on the nickname? hahaha))

((haha thanks? XD I kinda love/hate it. Parents could take it too literally....well, ya know. Until they met me. XD ))

((True xD lol -OMG love your Avi! Want to help me dress mine? lol)))

Seth moved slightly, "Rai, wanna help me up?" Seth smiled - he was not in great shape, but moving around slowly should suit him just fine. Looking around Seth could see all the damage that his sister had created - she didn't even want to kill anyone. Seth shuddered at the thought, what if she stopped caring completely. The devastation would be disgusting... Though, Seth needed all the strength he could gather to get into Rai's head - more just to get Aria out.

"Sure," she said, still thinking about Aria. She reached down and grabbed, Seth's arm, throwing it around her neck and helping to lift him to his feet, while keeping him leaning on her. Helping another fallen comrade, she thought with a sigh. She looked down at the circle of dead grass and made a sound of disgust. She hated her powers, honestly. They were helpful sometimes, but the entire idea of how they worked was just wrong to her. "Want me to help you back to the Tower?" she asked, now that they were standing.

((lol thanks! I could try....but I'm not sure how...? 0.o ))

((Neither am I...... lol))

Seth smiled at Rai, "Wanna try something kinda dangerous?" Seth laughed, "That necklace... I can use that and try to go into your mind again." Seth smiled, He knew every moment Aria was in their that Rai was at danger. Aria could learn everything and anything - listen to every thought. "So what do you say? Wanna go to your room and get it?"

(( Holy crap! You guys move fast! lol))

Saya sat on her bed and wipped her tears away, She walked out of her room and slowly walked around the tower. When she got to the exit she sighed and walked out "i really need to learn what my powers are" she said, she walked to the training grounds, seeing as the Halo is postponed she would have time to train and figure out what powers she had.

"Uhh..sure?" she said, not really sure about letting people into her mind..but..well...if Aria was already there...Well, they say three's a party... she thought and nodded. "Okay, then. Off to retrieve the necklace.." she said and started walking toward the Tower, providing support for Seth to walk without using too much energy.

As they walked, Rai thought a bit about how her mind was likely being infiltrated at that moment. She didn't trust Aria...and she doubted she would ever have a reason to. She didn't even treat her own family very kindly. There was a lot in her memories she'd rather not have everyone know...but..."Seth?" she asked. If he was gonna be in her mind, anyway, it was better for him to know from her. She didn't know how much digging around was going to be done. "Remember when I asked if you'd ever killed anyone..?"

((SHIAT! 6 hours? Hell no! Seth will NOT be ready!! xD lol should it not be postponed...seeing as crazy Aria ruined most of it... and most of the shadow tower....))

Seth turned to Rai, "Yah... I remember Rai. You don't need to tell me - I plan on going in, attack Aria's remnant. Then leaving. I will bring you of course." Seth smiled, "You do not need to tell me anything if you do not want too." Seth smiled and leaned his head against hers, "I promise you Rai - everything will be fine. Ill do my best."

((Hahaha fine..it'll be postponed lol let me edited my post))

She shook her head. "No, it's something I've been learning to deal with, and as long as Aria probably knows by now..." she trailed off, wondering how much Aria might know by now. She stopped herself before she could make it easier for that lunatic. "I've killed a lot of people...I can't say I enjoyed it. Your sister's crazy. I could never enjoy it. But I have. And..it's not like just shooting somebody with a bullet like Ui or even like invading their minds like you...My powers involve actual life energy, like you might have noticed. I couldn't heal you without killing something. So when I killed those people...I physically drew the life from them. It's...not exactly pleasant," she said, forcing herself not to feel guilty about it anymore. It was years ago. And Aria might know, but now she'd told someone of her own will, too. It felt kind of good to not shut it away from people...

((YAY!))

Seth looked over at Rai, "Its nothing to be guilty for - you felt bad, and I think you should allow yourself to move on. My sister on the other hand, has killed countless innocents... its those people who should never forget. Not people like you Rai." Seth smiled -but did not laugh. He was learning to understand other peoples emotion even though he lacked them. "Rai - you do not have to go into your mind.... Aria will make you suffer. Face up to each thing you have done...."

She smiled. "I've done a lot of facing up for what I've done," she said. "Aria can pull out as many memories as she wants, but they're my memories and unlike other people, I'm completely aware of what I've done and the consequences for it." She was determined not to let that girl get to her. She may be in her mind, but her mind was her world...

They came up to Rai's room, and she adjusted Seth so that she could open the door without elbowing him or anything. "Well, here we are! The magnificent room of yours truly..." She walked Seth over to her bed and let him sit down while she walked over to her little vanity and pulled out boxes and hair ornaments until she found the box with the necklace. "Here we are..." she said, turning back to Seth. "Ya know, if you need to rest some, I'm sure I could survive my mind a little longer," she said, unsure of how far she should let Seth push himself.

Seth smiled at Rai, he hoped she was strong enough to handle it all - though he had confidence, she showed a lot of strength. Not just physical either, her mental strength was not to be underestimated.

Seth took a seat down on the bed and watched as Rai grabbed the necklace.
"Here we are..." she said, turning back to Seth. "Ya know, if you need to rest some, I'm sure I could survive my mind a little longer," Seth looked up with a blank expression. "Rai, there is no way I could let her roam any longer in your mind."
Seth reached over and grabbed the necklace, putting it around his neck. "Are you ready?" Seth smiled to Rai, and put his hand on her shoulder, "At your ready Rai."

((Texting Mistress..... lol She can go back to bed after the fight =D hahaha))

((LOL >D At least you guys go to bed. I was up until 8am the other day/night/thing.... ))

"Rai, there is no way I could let her roam any longer in your mind," Seth said with a blank expression. She walked over and held the necklace out for Seth and climbed up on the bed criss-cross style while he put it on. "Are you ready?" he asked with a smile and put his hand on her shoulder. "At your ready, Rai."

Rai took a deep breath and nodded. "Ready."

((lol if there's another intense fight, I'm gonna have to go for a midnight run after you all go to bed. Movement is necessaryyyy at this point. XD ))

((haha why!? lol and she said she would come... but if i ever wake her again she will kill me :/ lol))

Seth smiled and closed his eyes. Upon them opening there was no resistance....

They were in some area of Rai's mind... "Do you recognize this place Rai?" Upon Seth looking around he saw some kind of wall - some weird wall. "What is this wall doing here? Do you know?" Walking down the wall there was a massive hole, like someone - probably Aria - had punched through. "What is going on...." Seth mumbled to himself.

((That Aria part was from her text... judging from that? Fight coming up? Im going to say yes.... lol I am scared for one... I gave her full artistic freedom on the clans powers... and they are scary O.o ))

Rai looked at the wall, now with a hole in it. Oh, she recognized this place alright. "Seth? This isn't exactly my mind..." she said, examining the hole. This was gonna be one heck of a ride. Aria must have used her connection to the Otherworld. "Remember last time when I was asking about contacting ghosts? Well....I kind of can....and..this is the Otherworld. Fairies, Ghosts, and all sorts of spirits live here. A lot can be really helpful...but a lot can also be not so nice. If Aria's in here...." she trailed off. If Aria took over the Otherworld, all hell would break loose. Quite literally.

((COLOR! =D And I just sleep whenever, if that's what you're asking. And if you're asking about running..well...I get really antsy when I'm all into something. Soooo if there's a fight, I'm gonna need to let off some steam physically, too. XD ))

Seth's heart beat nearly stopped. "You mean... if she can take that place over - then.. " Seth took a seat on the ground. Aria had found a way to an unlimited source of power. Well, according to Rai it was very dangerous. And dangerous plus Aria was never, and never will be a good mix.

"So you have a connection to this place?" Seth got up and ran over to Rai, "what could she do here? What kind of power could she obtain...." Seth hoped for a good scenario - but judging from the scenery... that was a hopeless wish.

((She said her mom is on the computer but she is trying real hard to get on, as, and I quote "I do not want to have woken up for NOTHING!!!" end quote...))

((Lol awww! That would be sad. I hate when someone wakes me up and then nothing happens. LIKE SNOW DAYS! OMG They never announce them until we were already waiting for the bus at 6:40 am back in high school. So I was already up, showered and ready to go..and then the bus never comes? So pissed. And people wonder why I hate snow so much...-_- ))

"What could she do here? What kind of power could she obtain..." he asked. He seemed worried, and he probably had reason to worry.

But Rai had very little information to offer. She really should have used this connection more often. "I'm not entirely certain..." she said, trying to remember what knowledge she did have. "There's a lot of magic in this place, for certain. But whatever magic she can tap into, we should be able to as well. My biggest concern would be her taking over the creatures that live here. Especially those fairies...." she said with a look of disdain. "They can be totally sweet when they want, but they can easily be convinced, and they love to mess with people. It's all just a game to them, anyway...Ghosts of some will be harder to convince, and we may find some help amongst them...but....there are other ghosts here who may be more than happy to get back at me...." She thought a little longer on the topic. "I really can't say for sure, though. The ghosts here seemed concerned before any of this happened. Something was happening, and that's why that wall was up. Usually, there's no problem getting in. Something was already amiss, and I have no idea what.."

----------

((I'm assuming she couldn't get on? ....meanwhile, I'm gonna be reading my mythology encyclopedia...>.> ))

By this time, Syrine's shadow had rushed from her room, to outside to find her. Connecting back to her host with a jolt. Syra smiled and started walking towards an open field with her shadow. Shadow daggers still being played with in her hands, Syrine, sat down on the grass. "Look, I need to control you. I don't want to use the daggers more than I have to, especially not on you. I need you to listen, and do as I say. I don't want to be afraid, but I'm not growing stronger with you wrapping around me whenever theres a problem." she bit her lip, this was harder than she thought. "If I'm going to fit in here, I need control. I need to be strong. I have nothing on what I've seen so far. We need to become a team." Shadow just gave a thumbs up, and Syrine sighed.

((lol did I mention I love the shadow thing? Reminds me of Peter Pan a little bit. Naughty shadowsss XD ))

((Yah her mom told her it was too late... and my mom decided the same :/ LITERALLY dragging me to bed.... :/ Ugh..mothers. lol))

Seth walked over to Rai, "Well then - I think we should fine Aria before she starts converting some creatures." Seth laughed trying to keep things up beat. "Do you think it is safe to walk past this wall? I mean... Aria did." Seth shuddered at the thought going through his head.... the possibility of Aria creating some kind of army here was disgusting. "Rai, we need to kill this remnant of Aria, and fast... "Seth turned to her with another expressionless face. "I just realized we are in the real world... standing still. Where Aria is still at full power." Seth fell down to the ground - he could not handle a fight on two fronts. "I think we need to abandon this conquest for now... We can come back later with some reinforcements." Seth felt this strange feeling... it made him feel bad. He assumed it was because he had failed Rai. Was this - guilt? Sadness? Seth sighed pushing the thoughts away... "Im sorry...Rai."

((Mistress said she will get on around lunch... we just need to stall until then.... lol))
