[NOTE: Reverting Terra's speech back to default colour, will only change it's colour if he's talking with someone else.]

*Terra sits up and turns to the door, a concerned look on his face.*

I wonder what just happened...

*Terra then looks back at Atea.*

Should we go take a look?

---

*Marcell sighs and lowers Loki to the floor, ruffling his feathers slightly.*

Bah...don't worry about it. I'll let you off this time.

*Marcell smiles gently, then picks Loki back up and cuddles him, as he walks over to Lili.*

You little rascal, you're just like she is aren't you.

*Marcell looks up at his wife and smiles.*

Mischievous, and yet it's so hard to stay mad at you.

*atea looks towards the door again..then back at terra ..looking along his body before looking at him again..she sighs* i guess we should...and you really shouldn't keep your guests waiting like that..*sighs again and looks at terra's body longingly before sitting up and getting off the bed..straightening her tunic as she stands up*

----

*lili chuckles and scratches loki's head before looking at marcell* it really was an accident...i didn't think you would try to destroy terra's library..*winks and chuckles again*

*loki ignores the talking and cooes over the attention*

*Terra slides his shirt back on and heads out into the hallway with Atea, then entering the lounge, realizing that nobody is there.*

I wonder where Master Tresmach and Lili went...

*Loki's cooes from the library soon answer that question. Terra nudges Atea and gestures towards the library, a questioning look on his face.*

That sounds a lot like Loki.
----

*Marcell sighs and leans forward to kiss his wife playfully before handing Loki to Lili as he heads back over to the bookshelf, grumbling to himself slightly.*

She's too cute...too cute...too cute...too cute...

*atea follows terra to the library and pokes her head in the door ...she sees lili holding loki and walks into the room* there you are...you've been a good boy right? * walks over to loki and holds out her arms..loki jumps to atea and chirps at her*

*lili grins and looks over at marcell* oh loki was a good boy..*smiles and winks at loki*

*Night smiles back at Wraith* I'm thinking steak.

----
*Ash slowly walks around the chard village to find any lingering souls however the evil presence is strong causing Ash to slightly feel weighted down. She felt off placed*

Who could have done this? Lady Ash you seem off.

*Ash lifts her hand to give a reassuring signal that she was fine. It was the truth since she herself was different in the fact she was a different state that most beings were. She was use to balance. If too much one or the other she would want the area to be neutral and she can feel the entence hate dwelling in the area. However it didn't want to come out and Ash knew she wouldn't be able to bin the location where it was because how it was wanting to push her away. Ash sighs and focouses*

Ashes to ashes, dirt to dirt...

*The phoenix moves back knowing what Ash was going to do as dense aura was builind around her. Though to the human eyes it was unable to be seen it was clear to the mystic eyes of the ancient bird.*

clear the mind, clear the soul, make this place whole...

ANNOUNCEMENT

Apologies to all members for not posting recently, particularly ~lildevil8200 and ~Nightingale-Spica

Kai is suffering from temporary brain damage and exhaustion, and should resume posting hopefully fairly soon. Until then, feel free to mess around with my characters (Marcell,Terra and Wraith) as you see fit.

Much regards,

TBFW [Head Administrator of Eternity]

(PS: If any of you found my announcement rather formal, then BLEH to you! =3 I can be immature when I want to be! *flees*)

[OOC- Ladies and gentlelads, I have returned temporarily. Looking good with that new sig and avatar by the way Alisha ;3 I wonder where you got those from? *cough cough smirk smirk* ]

*Marcell looks at Lili and shakes his head slightly, before spotting Terra walking into the library after Atea.*

Hey Terra.

*Terra walks up to Marcell and looks around.*

I thought I heard something before. Did something happen?

*Lili opens her mouth to speak, but is silenced by a look from her husband.*

Oh? No no, nothing happened. I just wanted to tell you that I was impressed with your...collection of archives. I don't think any other place has records that date back as far as yours...Lili mentioned records written by her father as well...

*Terra turns to Lili and nods slightly to her, before turning back to Marcell.*

Ah, yes...well prior to the humans invading...I managed to convince the elders to entrust me with the records from our library, 100,000 years ago, for safekeeping. I took them with me in a pocket dimension, and brought them here.

*Marcell bites his lower lip slightly as Terra mentions pocket dimension.*

Well...that was probably for the best...the last time I tried using a pocket dimension, I ended up with my hand stuck inside. Luckily...

*Marcell looks over at Lili and smiles at her, before turning back to Terra.*

That lovely lady over there is my saving grace. She knows a thing or two about magic.

*Terra laughs pleasantly.*

A thing or two? She was in the same class I was when practicing magic. She ranked top second next to me. That's pretty damn good already, considering you were in the bottom fift-

*Marcell whacks Terra hard on the back to shut him up. Terra crashes into a table coughing slightly.*

So anyway, I noticed your shirt is fixed.

*Marcell turns over to Atea, looks at Terra, back at Atea, then grins winking at her, before whispering to Terra (out of earshot of Liliana)*

Ohoho...I see where this is going.

---

*Wraith smiles and nods signaling a waiter over.*

Could I just get a plate of your finest steak, with seasonal vegetables and perhaps some drinks for the both of us. I'll take a water.

*The waiter nods as he writes everything down, glancing between Wraith and Night, blushing whenever he looks at Night. Wraith catches this and smiles pleasantly at the waiter.*

By the way, she's mine pal.

*The waiter almost jumps in fright, but turns to Night and stutters slightly, trying not to look at her. Wraith looks across the table, catching Night's eye and winks at her. The waiter speaks slowly and softly.*

W-w-what w-would you like to drink...m-miss?

*atea blushes and looks at lili quickly* so uh...you were second to terra?*loki starts to squirm so she puts him down and he bounds over to terra*

*lili smiles* it was very close... i was only a few points behind...but my animal and plant kinship is much higher..*looks at terra and winks* but my fighting ability is much lower..*smiles at marcell* thankfully i have marcell..

*atea frowns slightly but looks over at terra and watches him with marcell*

*lili looks at a shelf and turns to look at terra with a questioning expression* terra...you seem to have a gap in your herbalism books...

*Terra goes over to stand beside Lili.*

Ah, I believe that Atea was reading a book on particular herbs, it should still be in the kitchen where she left it.

*Marcell walks over to Lili and wraps his arms around her shoulders, kissing her neck softly as Terra watches and swallows somewhat nervously. Completely oblivious of this, Marcell looks at Terra, gazing at him over Lili's head.*

We should practice some more physical combat later Terra, I've kept my skills sharp these past milleniums, yet yours have gotten rusty.

*Marcell then coughs as he adds in a soft voice.*

And um...in return, perhaps you can help me with some magic. I have a slight problem with getting into my own house.

*Marcell glances down lovingly at his wife as he hears her giggle, and kisses the back of her head softly. Terra coughs, turns away and smiles at Atea.*

Atea, would you mind going to the kitchen and bringing that book you were reading? I'm sure Lili would like to have a look at it.

*atea watches marcell and lili and just nods when terra asks her* uhh...sure..i'm finished with it anyways.. i just needed to know for sure if i was right or not *smirks and looks at terra* i forgot all about the book...*she grins as she turns and leaves the library*

*lili looks at terra and smiles* i see your shirt has been mended...is it safe to assume that atea is the wonderful seamstress?*winks at terra* you know...there really was need for you to rush back like that *grins and chuckles when terra blushes slightly*

*Terra turns away and sighs.*
It's not like that...

*Marcell shakes his head slightly and turns Lili to face him, before pressing her against his chest.*
Sorry about this Terra, Lili has a bad habit of speaking her thoughts. She likes to point things out alot.

*Marcell slides his fingers slowly through Lili's hair as he looks at Terra and winks.*
Though, I can understand the situation you're in. Ash and Atea. Both of them are lookers.

*Marcell laughs as Lili looks up at him with a glare.*
Come on Liliana, you know you're all that I want.

*Marcell leans forward and kisses Lili softly on the nose, before looking at Terra, as he continues to cuddles his wife, as though oblivious to Terra's presence.*
So...any ideas where Ash ran off to?

*lili gives marcelle a mock glare over his thinking before she speaks comment..then frowns slightly at terra while cuddling with marcell* that was pretty odd... she just got up and left like that...does she do it often?

*atea walks back into the library holding the book from the kitchen* here it is...*hands it to lili*

*lili takes the book and smiles* thank you my dear...one more thing...since terra won't tell us..what exactly is the relationship between you two? *gives a little yelp when marcell pinches her bottom and she looks up at him with a confused expression* what?

*Marcell gives Lili a mischievous look and taps her lips with his finger, before leaning in to kiss her softly.*
Behave, Lili.

*Terra then shrugs and thanks Atea for the book, before turning to Lili.*
No, she's only been doing that today. It's weird, perhaps something has happened elsewhere. I feel a strange chill going up my spine. An uneasiness of some sort.

*Marcell frowns and looks into the distance for a moment, before looking at Terra.*
Speaking of which, what happened last night? I presume that you, Ash, Night, Wraith and Atea were engaged in battle on the other side of the mountain pass, in the southern forest region.

*Terra nods solemnly and pulls up a chair for Marcell, himself, and Atea. As he sits down and sighs. Marcell sits down and pulls Lili onto his lap, smiling cheekily at her as he whispers softly into her ear.*
You're staying right here where I can keep an eye (and my hands) on you.

*Terra turns away slightly, uncomfortable about how close Marcell and Lili are as he speaks in a low voice.*
We were attacked by Asmodeous. Apparently he was after Night, for reasons I do not know why. He brought demons with him.

*lili nods frowning slightly as she thinks* we knew about the demons..but...how did you kill them like that?...those scorch marks..there's nothing elven that could kill a demon like that *looks back and forth between atea and terra*

*atea fidgets with her nails before looking up at lili and chewing her lip slightly* umm that was me...it was a spell my mother taught me...*sighs* it destroys demons completely... the higher the level the more power you put into it..*shrugs*

*lili raises an eyebrow and looks at terra* this didn't hurt her??...odd..*looks at atea curiously*

*Terra glances at Atea and shrugs.*
They were medium-class demons. Not too difficult to kill, but certainly more difficult than the lesser kind. I'm surprised she managed to even bring to life a grand illusion afterwards. Higher class demons such as Doom Guards however, are quite capable of avoiding instant demise via the power of song. At most, the song will merely immobilize them temporarily.
*Terra then sighs.*
But I must admit, I'm surprised that she didn't end up incapacitating herself, since she has demon blood in her veins.
