This is after Ian was released from the hospital and Johnny K. Gambino returned.


Whizzz! Thunk!

This is how the small forest woke up, to the classic sounds of arrows flying through the air and hitting their target. The shooter of the arrows was silent, knowing her voice could lead any strangers to her. That's the least thing she wanted. She was practicing for something important.

She straightened after the last arrow hit its mark. She slung the bow onto her back so it looked like wings. She crossed slowly to the tree on which she had practiced on, taking out each arrow with ease. Her brow furrowed at a thought, a frown appearing at her lips.

"Iiiiiinnnnnwwwweeeeee!"

The woman turned, the last arrow still stuck in the tree. The frown left her face, and broke into a small smile. "Hey, Estelle," she said, her voice hoarse after over an hour of pure silence. "Just finishin' up."

"Good! I have news!" Estelle said her brown Lolita hair a bit amiss. Inwe raised an eyebrow as an inquiry. She turned at tugged at the last arrow.

"Johnny Gambino is said to appear at the Barton Fountain at noon today," Estelle said in a rushed voice. Inwe pulled out the arrow with a final violent tug. She let out a steady stream of curses as the arrow slipped for her hands, leaving a shallow cut across her palm. She looked at Estelle after the pain had left. "Good. I am well prepared. Tell Luxord to meet us there."

Estelle nodded and left her friend in peace. Inwe sat down and looked at her palm, the cut starting to mend it's self faster than a normal humans. She frowned slightly and looked toward the sky, remembering the events that caused this mess. She would leave after today. Leave Gaia completely and set up a new realm of her own. A bit drastic, but there was just to much drama here. Besides, who would miss a few nobodies?

Inwe closed her eyes, all four remaining senses clearly alert. She heard and felt the footsteps of a man. She didn't even open her eyes when she greeted him. "Hello, Lux. Is it time?"

"Almost. We should be going. Everything's set," the deep, excited voice of Luxord said. Inwe opened her eyes and looked into the dark ones of Luxord. She smiled and stood.
"Let's go then."
