This, The Broken Era

[Ambrosia]

Ambrosia smiles,

"Alright, perhaps I will then."

Racing towards him, she skimmed the tops of the leaves of the trees. Collecting a small handful, she threw them playfully at Timithy.

She laughed at the sight of Timithy flying upside down, being showered with leaves.

'I haven't enjoyed myself like this in a long time...'

[Beatles]

As Beatles stands up, the glare in the other's eyes pierced through him like a spear through a pig, as Beatles insides squashed around just like the same situation.

"Why am i still alive, the bullet pierced my head!" he asked himself, but he was then able to answer his own question.

The answer was simple: The bullet hadn't entred a vital area to the brain, only the part that directed his sense of right and wrong, and now that that part had been destroyed, there was only one thing left to say.

"Rave, i will join you to help Evil prevail. That is what i have decided"

[Louhi]

Louhi leans in close toward Lady Violet. She is uncomfortable in her new business attire, but pays that no mind.

"You want a raise? Isn't it you that does everything around here anyway? You shouldn't just ask for more money. You need a position of more power. You should not be the second in command, not with all that you do. You should be the one in charge. You should have Lin Sat's job. What does he ever do anyway? You are the one that cares for the people, that goes out among them, that gives the speeches. You are the one that they admire and look up to. You are the one that they will follow. You need more than just a raise."

In actuality, Louhi cares little what happens to Lady Violet, but if she is to be her advisor, then she will make sure her protoge will rise in power. She will not be the advisor to someone weak and pitiful.

[Timithy of the Green Winds]

Timithy smiles and laughs as the leaves brush him. Then suddenly he's gone.

Amber slows and looks around when an arm circles around her shoulders, another at her stomach. Timithy leans over her shoulder to look at her, his smile is the same but his eyes are narrowed, not the wide innocent of a moment ago. He tightens his girp a little, a tight hug from behind.

"Amber, I'm not so foolish as I act you know. I notice things that the others don't always."

His lips are so close to her ear that though he is bearly whispering she can hear him perfectly.

"Now, why don't you tell me why your here... Ambrosia." He whispers her full name so softly that even though his lips are an inmeasureable small distance from the skin of her ear that she bearly hears it.

"I'd always heard Dragons were mean, evil, generally not nice things." He leans his head closer and smells her hair, "Your not what I expected. Your one of Jumala Mythysta's Dragons aren't you? One of the good ones. Your too soft and warm to be evil..."

Timithy waits for an answer but does not loosen his hold. The embrace is not restraining at all ready, more of a hug than anything else. Still, he's got a good grip.

[Kaieka]

We walk for awhile, as I sort out all of my thoughts. I am so full of anger, it just burns within me, and I know that I need an outlet or I will explode. That Kaschei is such a b'astard. I cannot believe that I even went back there to work for him. I just wanted to have a mission, something to do, I feel like I have no direction...

Well, the only direction I know I have is to cause Bassarov pain.

I think back at what the drow elf said. Yes, my anger consumes me, my hatred. Perhaps he is right afterall. Maybe I should just get over it... But that is not really my way. Bassarov made such a fool of me, he ripped out my heart. I had felt such love... and it was all false.

I stop in the heart of Moscow, and sit on a bench. Zephyr stands nearby. I gaze at the city, it is hazy out and the city looks tired.

My chest rises and falls as I sigh a large sigh, as I do, I can feel the would in my back, from where Bassarov lodged his sickle. It still aches.

Will I never be free from him? Will I never be free from pain. I wish I had never regained my memories. If only I could just wipe the slate clean and start anew. Ha! But what would be different? People would remain the same, and men would remain untrue. Sure, I would be able to begin again, but the outcome would always be the same... pain. There is no escape from this world of pain... It is the life I am destined to live.

[Peter "The Owl"]

Peter looks away and licks his lips. Oh God, what do I do? Aries is going to kill everyone who comes into this kitchen... but I have nothing to prove it. God, why does evil always hide so well?

Peter smiles and pats Chastity on the shoulder, "That's great. I'm sure he'll do a wonderful job running this place." While you are safely a thousand miles away.

"So when does your flight leave for Paris? I'm going to be leaving in three days or so. I have a promise of a position at the University of Paris as a Scholar of the Supernatural. Appearently they're one of the few places that offers a mythological graduate program."

[Amber]

Ambrosia glanced up over her shoulder at Timithy, seemingly unconcerned about his tight embrace on her.

Replying softly, she gave a wry smile. She liked the way he caressed her full name, despite the fact that he would threaten her with no sense of regret.

"So, you've found me out then. Yes, I've been sent here for the same reason as last time. No, I'm not what many expected."

She sighed, knowing how pleased Dionysus will be to hear about this.

"Dionysus won't be too happy with me when he hears about this."

Raising an eyebrow, she remarked sardonically,

"So what do you plan to do now?"

[Lady Violet]

"I wouldn't mind a little more power, Miss Louhi, but I support Lin-Sat. He is my employer and I love him. I think he does a fine job. I could do no better."
This conversation makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

[Shina, Water Queen]

Shina moves quickly through Moscow. She's the most human of the Kegai so she's the one who ends up on the spy mission.

Stinking Flask. Had to remind Greg that it was me who was nearly human. I'm gonna kick his butt so bad when I get back.

Which would probably be soon, things seemed rather quiet around here.

A rumor about Hope had been floating around Chi-kage. They said she had all the eggs. If that was true then they needed to find her so, off to Moscow to find information.

[Timithy of the Green Winds]

Timithy closes his eyes, his head leanded on Amber's shoulder.

"Do? Hum... well, I can't just let you go," he whispers, smiling without opening his eyes, "That would be to dangerous. Who knows what you might do? No, I think I need to keep you restrained for awhile."

Timithy opens his left eyes, rolling it to the side to look at Amber, well aware that his embrace is not restraining her at all.

His wings flap slowly as he hovers in the air, "What do you think I should do with you?" He whispers softly.

[Hope98]

I collected thousands of signitures. It is time to go to Beijing and pay a visit to Lady Violet. With luck, I will collect some more signitures on my way there and while I am in Beijing. I travel to the train station. It will be a long ride, but it will give me time to prepare what I want to say to her.
The eggs are in Zex's care now. I hope that he is able to keep them safe. But I trust him.

[Aristarchus]

-My business at the League completed, I travel to the soup Kitchen to meet Chastity.

-Peter is still there. I would like to eat him.

-It seems that Chastity will be leaving. Oh, well it gives me more freedom I suppose.

-"Chastity dear, don't tell me that you are leaving me so soon. I am lost without you? Would you leave without even saying goodbye? And with Peter....we've spoken about him before....."

-I smirk at Peter.

[Amber]

Ambrosia glances down at his face, slightly bemused.

Whispering softly, she replies,

"And just how do you intend to do that?"

She admired his strength. Her weight, along with the weight of her armour, would put some strain on one his size. Yet he held her effortlessly. Of course, he wasn't exactly human either, so that would give him an advantage.

She gives him a small amused smile in response to his last query.

"I don't know...How about trust me, for one thing? You said yourself that I wasn't what you had expected."

[Usha]

Usha is confused by everthing. She is not sure how she ended up at Toivo's cottage, but everyone else is there, so it must be right. Everyone is busy doing different things, and there seems to be some new people as well.
"I'm bored, I'm going to make some muffins...."

[Beatles]

Now that Beatles mind has been tainted, it is time to pledge his alegence to Red Infinity and Lin-Sat. Knowing that Lady Violet and Lohi were just inside the door made his knees tremble, for the power they welded was incredible. He decided to stand outside and decide whether to go in or not, for a wrong move could meen death. The evil side was better, for sure
