Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon looks down at Rose, then back to Alinos, then back to Rose. "I banished someone earlier for testing me. It'd be a shame to do it again." With a wave of his hand, Rose is knocked off her feet and topples back to the ground.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Ayn turns and stares blankly at Avalon. "What was that for?"
Erun flies upwards towards the ceiling and laughs at the scene below. "What fun! It's so easy to stir up already tense emotions." |
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Rose scowls and rubs a sore elbow. "Last time I try to help. Damn moody Abbisses...Gale was no different." Just to spite him, she sends a small wave of energy at his feet, barely enough to move both of his shoelaces. She feels all the more better for it. Still scowling, she returns to her seat and sips her soda, watching the scene unfold.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Cloud walks over to Rose and looks up at Erun. "How nice of you to share that with us." He looks to Rose and mutters to her to get out of the way. "Avalon, come help me outside for a brief second." Cloud starts out down the hall out the main gates.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon frowns. As the energy wave nears, he bends his knee and kicks the ball back with a thousand times the force it came at him. "Love your petty attacks, don't you?" He turns back to Alinos. "We'll continue this later, no?" He follows Cloud.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Rose moves on Cloud's command, at the same timing getting out of the way for her returned attack. "Jerk doesn't know how to take a joke." She stares up at Erun, a mix of curiousty and awe on her face.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
As the two step outside, Cloud turns to Avalon and pipes out his request. "I need you to fix my bike. Our good demonic friend from yesterday kind of... I dunno... broke it. Could you repair the front forks and gas tank for me? I believe thats all that got damaged. Besides my paint job."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Alinos ignores Gin and Rose, eyeing Erun before crossing his arms.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon laughs. "You're funny, Strife. I'm not mechanic." Avalon turns around and makes his way back in the castle. After he's gone, Cloud looks back at the bike and finds it to be in mint condition.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
He grins and laughs to himself. He gets on the seat of the motorcycle and presses a button on the left handle of the bike and the left side of the bike shoots open to reveal two buster swords. He unsheathes the one from his back and places it in the last slot openm for one remaining sword. He presses the button again and the panel closes. "I guess living here is better than no where, huh boy?" He revs the bike up and it screeches down the street, performing almost better than before.

Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
A malicious snarl crosses her lips as she glares at all of the occupants in the room. What was this bickering for? Couldn't they see that this was a sacred place for her? Why the hell couldn't they put their differences aside for just two ****ing seconds and recognize what this room, this castle meant to others? These people.. They're all insane. They don't know what they're doing. She had to get away from them.
Ayn turns and runs out of the library and out into the courtyard, where she slams the doors to the entrance and melts the doorknobs so they fuse into one another. In a panic she puts up multiple barrier in an attempt to block anyone out. After she's done she turns and leans against the wall, staring blankly in front of her. Now Erun is genuinely amused. "Such fragile emotions.. And to think, it was all shattered because of you lot." |
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
"Crap...Ayn." She glares at Alinos and Avalon (who I'm guessing is back by now) in a "I told you so" manner.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon makes it inside in time to see Ayn storm off. He heads for a chair and sits down. "I want no one to go after her." He looks up at Erun. "Is there something we can help you with?"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Ayn takes a deep breath and walks around, eyeing each grave. "You all... are so lucky.. You.. you don't have to fight anymore.." She stops in front of One's grave. "What's it all for, anyway? What are we trying to prove through this violence?" She moves on to Laena's grave. "And what were you looking for? What brought you here, was it this love that you chased? What good is it for?" She steps to the side, plopping down in front of Gale's grave. "And you.. I am no better than you were. But.. you got lucky. Everyone here got lucky. You all don't have to live in pain anymore. I wish.. I didn't.." Ayn buries her face in her hands and is silent other than soft sobbing.
Erun smirks. "No, I have what I want, and that is absolute chaos. With that being said, I'll take my leave." She spreads out her arms and disappears in a small explosion of light. |
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
"Interesting creature..." Avalon remarks as Erun leaves. "Interesting castle. Now where the Hell is Vorena?"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Ayn eventually looks up, her face tear-stained with a restless expression painted on it. She sits there, staring blankly in front of her, emotionless for the time beng.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Nearly an hour and a half later, the sound of screaming tires are heard outside the castle and after a few minutes, the familliar blonde man walks in with the blade on his back. He is carrying a satchel and is followed by a dark-haired youth in a white trench coat. This boy had a long blade strapped to both sides of his waist and black, shredded gloves on his hands. His eyes were glowing a furious deep blue and he move some hair from his lips. The two walked into the library, Cloud taking his fammiliar corner place, followed by the boy.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon looks up and gives a small chuckle at seeing Cloud. "Back, Strife? Who did you bring along?"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Rose drops the soda can, which was thankfully empty. She stares in disbelief at the boy behind Cloud. There was nobody else it could be. "Reeve." Her mouth moves to the word, but no sound comes out. This was the creator of the dream world that had saved her life. The dream, which had kept her alive during her training under Gale, which had been her nightly ectasy.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Cloud looks up after laying his Buster Sword down and clears his throat. "Well actually this is my son. His name is-"
"Reeve." The boy announces his name and stands, resting his hands on the hilts of his blades. |
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Rose leaps up. "Reeve, you are Reeve. I'm Rose. You know me...the dream. Your Reeve!"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
By this time Vorena had reapppeared, apparently not pleased with what had just happened while he was absent. He arches an eyebrow at Cloud and his son before having a seat on a nearby chair.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Reeve looks over Rose and begins to scowl. "To tell you the truth girl, I have no idea how you got into my dreams, who you are, or where you come from. Nor do I care. All I know is that you intruded into what was mine, but I never recall making a world. Just sleeping. I do remember you but I particularly don't care to have anything further to do with you. Now leave me alone."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Rose stares at Reeve, all the blooding draining from her face. "This isn't right! He let me in, he talked to me in the dream...how can...how can this be right?" "Reeve, I...I didn't intrude. You LET me in."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
"A son?" Avalon rises from his chair. "You've been keeping things a secret huh? That's not good. Actually, not like I can say much." He looks over in the direction of the courtyard where Ayn is. Then he turns back to the others. "Vorena! Good to see you back. Don't tell me that ghost caught up with you again."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Reeve only turns his head, ignoring her and folding his arms.
Cloud stands and brushes himself off, walking away from Reeve and Rose. He knew it wasn't his business. He stood beside Avalon, speaking quietly. "It's a very long story, but to sum things up..." He sighs. "His mom was a Goddess and of course you know who the father was. But that was a long time ago, and him and I barely even talk. I can't call myself his father and he wont let me, the only thing we have in common is our last names." |
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Lara had left the castle some time ago and was standing across the courtyard, infront of Ayn's barriers. She waits patiently for Ayn to acknowledge her.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon nods at Cloud. "Last names? Heh, I know how that is. Seems like you want to get closer to him, that's good."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Vorena shakes his head, looking around at the small amount of damage caused by the fighting. Silently he walks over and picks up scattered books, standing up fallen bookshelves and placing books back where they belong.
____ Ayn finally glances over at Lara, then waves a hand. The barriers disappear long enough for Lara to get through. |
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
"It's not easy, but we really had no where to go so I sort of took Ayn invitation to stay here. Hope you don't mind." Cloud catches his manners and an inquisitive look about himself spreads over his face, but he brushes it off. He figured it's better to be nice to her 'dad' than to someone else. Even though manners weren't a strength of his.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
"Of course, I don't mind." He pats him on the back. "Stay as long as you want. Everyone else seems to be doing so."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Cloud nods vaguely before speaking again. "Ayn is a mess, isn't she?"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Lara smiles softly and walks over to Ayn, sitting down next to her. "How are you?"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Ayn shakes her head. "I've been better." She pauses awkwardly, not sure what to say. "...And yourself?"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon chuckles. " 'A mess' is an understatement. We're letting her rest." Avalon takes a drink from his hip flask again.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Lara shrugs. "Alright, considering. Just want you to know I'm here for you, ok?"
__ After a long walk, Onarav approaches the castle gates and examines it. Wiping his brow with his sleeve. "So this is where he holed up. Peh, what rancid taste in real estate. Looks like the house of Dracula, not an Onarav." With a wave of his hand the gates fly open. |
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Ayn gives Lara a weak smile. "Thanks.."
______ Loren seems amused. "I imagine the inside is just as charming." She leads the way into the castle and up towards the library. |
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon turns to the library doors, sensing someone. "Oh, what in the world...I'm getting tired of this excess company. I'm gonna go get whoever this person is out of here." He walks to the door and steps outside, making his way to the energy he sense.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Cloud, not really having anything better to do, follows Avalon dully, dragging his blade along and sheathing it. He too was becoming tired of all the people here as well.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Onarav raises an eyebrow at Loren and shrugs, making his way through the empty halls. "What a fool. This place is far to large for one Abbis."
