-with Zenos-

He was confused, 'that…that she-devil did this to me, why do I want her approval, what is it that she means to me, Who. Is. She?!' Was the last thought the prince had before he was knocked out,

"Sir, he is unconscious," with a nod Varis zos Galvus looked at his son, he had never seen him act like that before. "I want all those that were with him on the last expedition to come to me and explain what happened," with this order he went back to his office and waited for the soldiers to come through and when he had heard everything they could tell him, which was next to nothing thanks to what Kaia did, he and dismissed them, then started to plot is silence….

-Back to Kaia-

Kaia felt warm, someone was holding her. 'This is strange, normally no one can get close when I'm in a panic attack….so wh-', "Haurchefant!" She woke with a start once her thoughts were done sorting themselves out, and though she wanted to try and find him she felt she was being held back then she heard

"Kaia, I'm here, don't worry, I'm here" turning she could see him, with worry in his eyes but holding tight flung her arms around his neck and softly cried,

"You're here, oh thank the twelve," she pushed back and started checking him for wounds she might have caused,

"Kaia? What's wrong?" She looked at him with embarrassment but with slight anger

"That was reckless of you Haurchefant, going into an aether tempest like that, I could have shredded you,"

When she said this Haurchefant realised that she didn't have a nightmare per say, but instead she just remembered what had happened, with a sigh and soft smile he pulled her back in his lap,

"I was not hurt, in fact I didn't feel anything, but I'm sorry for worrying you," and this she looked down slightly ashamed,

"I'm sorry as well for shouting at you, but that terrified me," He pulled here close and placed his forehead on hers, gaining a light blush from her,

"You feared for me and you were confused I don't blame you, now my dear are you well enough to tell me what happened," a shocked look came in to her eyes before she nodded,

"When he captured and tortured me, the corruption was spreading to me, I could feel it, crawling up my skin and scales, it was disgusting, I hated it, and with my last burst of energy I flared and escaped, after that I made the vow," Haurchefant was now worried could the miasma the corruption still be on her,

"Kaia is it possible for the miasma to have followed you," and this question she paled, and he could see her start to shake and once again her aether start to frenzy, he knew he had to calm her down or else she be in too deep in her worries so he did what he thought would snap her out of it, gently he tilted he head up slowly took her lips again, he felt her stiffen before relaxing and in doing so her aether also calmed down, staring deep in to her sea green eyes he asked "Are you alright," only to be met with a bright red face and a stuttering reply before she nodded,

"You really do know how to calm me down," she quietly after a few moments and at this he lightly chuckled, she rested her head on his shoulder and relaxed deeper, "it's possible is has but now that I've stopped panicking like a child I realise that it could have been dealt with when I first came here, since I was unconscious and fitting into the body of this world's version of me, I will call the others to check, if not the purification of it is not hard and I have everything I need to do it," at this he relaxed and hugged her closer,

"Thank Halone," was all he said till a knock came at the door and it opened to reveal his brother Emmanellain who went from neutral to red faced in 3 seconds flat before running out. Kaia and Haurchefant just looked and the area where her had been before turning to each other and burst into peals of laughter, as they were laughing, Lord Edmont came in to see the sight of his son's fiancée in his lap both laughing,

"I see, someone's feeling better," at this they both looked up, and slowly Haurchefant and placed Kaia on the bed, "so Emmanellain came in red faced as if he saw something inappropriate, care to explain," at this Haurchefant couldn't help but chuckle slightly before regaining control over himself and explained what had happened

"Kaia has a panic attack after she left the room, when I came in she trying to calm herself down, but the memories were drowning her, I managed to calm her down by placing her in my lap but then she fell unconscious," Edmont looked at his son and could tell something her wasn't saying,

"Haurchefant please tell your father everything including the moment that you walked into a tempest of aether without thinking of possible consequences," Kaia said bluntly, and from hiss reaction he did try to keep it a secret

"Is this so Haurchefant?" Edmont looked at his son in exasperation, before shaking his head and turning to Kaia, "I trust you are well, my dear" a soft smile and a nod was his answer, "well since you have recovered maybe you can go reassure the Lord Commander, he's worried,"

"Yes of course," Kaia stood up with all the elegance of a noble and bowed to the head of house,

"You know, and I don't mean offence, but when you act like that it really drives home that you are of noble birth," Haurchefant said,

"Personally I only act like this when is deemed to do so, also, before, I was purposely hiding my identity, acting proper would have sent of alarm bells in many," at this the lords were in agreement, an adventurer acting to the codes of conduct would indeed cause questions to crop up, but her actions still shocked them, then a knock came to the door, Lord Edmont went to answer and was greeted by a rather haggard Aymeric, this prompted Kaia to act in two seconds flat she had changed to White Mage and healed his wounds, "what happened," Edmont asked,

"At…. attack…th…the Steps…." Kaia has finished healing him when he said that,

"Will you be okay," and he nodded, "right then I'm off," as she said this, Kaia changed once more to Summoner, and teleported to Ishgard's Aetheryte plaza and there she was met with a horde of dragons attempting to enter the city wasting no time she flash stepped to the giant beast and just before she hit it she changed to Warrior and slammed her axe-hammer on to its head full force, and to the shock of all the beast went down head first, everyone looked back up and saw she was falling and mid air changed to Paladin before using her feet to propel her shield down while pushing herself up, the moment the shield made contact, dragon was unconscious if not dead, everyone was shocked at the display she was giving them, changing once again, Red Mage this time, her magic latching on to on of the airborne dragons she pulled herself towards it and punched its maw as Monk, this carried on, gaining momentum before switching to a heavier hitter to deal maximum damage, it was a beautiful combination of elegance and brutality, her landing also showed the power within her as a, although small, crater was created when she hit the ground, she switched back to Summoner and started to called upon her creatures, the egi of Titan, Ifrit and Garuda were called upon, there were all about I third the size of the original primals,

"Titan keep that behemoth down he moves you punch, Garuda stay here anything that comes through slice it with your wind till it's dust, Ifrit, any enemy comes near your burn it down," at her orders the egi moved working in perfect sync, Kaia turned back and moved to the gates, where she spotted, Aymeric, Lucia, Estinien and Haurchefant, behind them the Knight twelve and even the Archbishop, and all their faces were identical,

"Right all of you nice back I want to end this in a single hit," and all moved back, opening her grimoire she started collecting aether, the light coming from her was almost blinding and it was beautiful but the pressure it caused told the people around her that she meant business, raising up her book the egi were reabsorbed and before them was a behemoth bigger than anything they have seen, a dragon like egi emerges and with a shout of

"Judgement!" A beam of destruction went down the entire length of the bridge and for every hostile dragon it touched they were disintegrated, seconds later the dust died leaving a completely empty bridge, just when they were going to celebrate a large roar was heard, and Estinien clutched his chest, seeing this Kaia deduced way it was so she went to the Dragoon, " Do you trust me?" She asked and after receiving a nod she placed her hand were the eye was, and a small pulse of aether came from it, gently she pulled and the malice with in the eye but she knew she couldn't erase it , not yet so she took a rock and slowly placed it in there when she was done she took a step back and turn to the edge and fell, she had to time this, the abyss had four layers by the third she had to teleport out. One. Two. Three and she let go of the rock and teleported back using Haurchefant as a beacon, "ok that I will never do again,"

"I wholeheartedly agree, though I knew you would be safe the others here had heart attacks," looking behind him, she saw everyone in shocked and from their faces she couldn't help but laugh but it came out rather like a snort as she attempted to cover it up. Nonetheless the sound broke the attention of everyone there who gave her a glare for scaring them, but before anyone could say anything, cheers were heard from behind and when they turned they could see the citizens of Ishgard cheering at them, high and lowborn alike stood together congratulating their saviours, this brought a look of shock to the Archbishop and the knights twelve, in the midst of the celebrations Kaia disappeared to an empty area and Creed then appeared,

"Milady, The Black Wolf is making his move,"

"I see, do you know where he as of right now,"

"He currently in Castrum Oriens but from what I've gathered he is making is way to Carteneau for the weapon" the ninja retained reported

"I see, well that's still been fun while it lasted but time to get to work," Kaia said as she looked up at the grey snow clouds,

"You disappeared…." turning around Kaia saw her mate, and she smiled,

"Needed air…plus I have to get ready…it's time," Kaia said

"So, our destination is where first?" at this Kaia looked at him with shock but that quickly turned into a smile,

"Thanalan, I need to get the fire crystal of light, then to the Black Shroud to meet with the sylphs for lightening, after that La Noscea, for earth, then we need access to the stone vigil to gain ice and finally back to the shroud to get wind, if we do it right we should be done by 2 weeks, then to prepare for the Wolf," Kaia sighed, she was stressed Haurchefant could tell that much was true, he could practically see the weight she held on her shoulder, but instead of looking weighed down, she stood proudly this made him smile, moving closer to her, he placed his arms round her and held her close and just stood there in appreciative silence, till

"By Halone, you two lovebirds are honestly-," turning their heads they could see Aymeric and Estinien coming towards them, Estinien holding his stomach while Aymeric having an innocent expression,

"You left, they were looking for the what was it-Oh yes goddess of the skies," upon hearing the new title she was given by the people she cringed causing laughter from the men around her, turning back to look out at the city she said

"The Black Wolf is moving….so it's time for me to start acting as well," this quietened the laughter

"I see, what's your plan," at this she turned and smiled,

"Ultima weapon will not be completed, that I will make sure of, other than right now though I need to regain the light crystals that are scattered around the realm, and knowing my luck, those that are appointed as my bodyguards might become warriors of light, so the others need to pick carefully," at this statement they were shocked, Well Aymeric and Estinien were, Haurchefant stood there holding her with understanding,

"So, I'm guessing your leaving now," Estinien said,

"The gears are moving and I so must I," she said before turning to her mate, "let's go say our farewells, I'm sure your father would be most displeased if we left without any word," he nodded in agreement "Creed, a new mission for you, find the Ultima weapon and if you can place this on the crystal in its chest," she handed to him a small black stone with a smirk before walking away, when they reached the manor they were greeted by and shocking sight, of the various head of houses outside, when one noticed her she took a step back which set off a stampede, but before they could get close Haurchefant pulled her to him and the other two glared pulling out the weapons, this caused the crowd to take a step back,

"So, what in the world do all of you think your doing, especially since your targeting my mate," at this they all recoiled, solidifying what there plan was with Kaia, "leave now, and if I see any letters coming from you about asking for Milady's hand, you best hope that I don't find you," he growled out, gently he moved with Kaia into the manor still holding her close to him, and if he had turned around he would of seen the looks of amusement and pride his friends had.

A few moments later, they were at the borders of the highlands and the entrance to Mor Dhona, both she and Haurchefant had said their farewells and made their way back to the scions Headquarters, but the sight they were greeted with was shocking.

From the moment they entered they saw the twins working on various essays, Y'shotola's ears could just about be seen from the mountain of books she was behind, Thancred sharpening his knives, while Papalymo and Yda was in a heated discussion about aether, the two looked at each other before looking back at the sight, deciding to shock them a bit, Kaia sent a pulse through the headquarters and everyone sat up straight, and looked sheepishly at Kaia as she stood there arms crossed and a single eyebrow up,

"Okay, frantic much,"

"Welcome back Kai," Thancred said as he got up

"I'm home," at this everyone smiled, "so what's with all this," Everyone looked at each other, then a voice came and from a portal out came Elidibus, looking rather haggard,

"Let me explain," and he did he told Kaia that he and Aymeric explained what had happened and why she didn't come back yet, before explain his own funding of Lahabrea," but what shocked them was the neutrality Kaia showed before sighing,

"So…. he really is corrupted…. sad to say I'm not shocked, you know what will happen right, if it's not purged," at this Elidibus nodded and though he was wearing a mask you could see the devastation he held within,

"Err…. Kaia, Care to fill us in," at this Kaia nodded,

"Hmmm, how to explain, do know where corruption stands in the point of view of light and dark,"

"Only a bit, Elidibus here says is not light or dark but neutral," Kaia closed her eyes

"To that he is correct, corruption cares not if you are light or dark, it only cares for aether, when a being is corrupted, it's minor and if it's a civilian it takes a while to move through the target, however those the utilise their aether became vulnerable, not only because they have larger reserves but also because when they use their aether they pull on the corruption as well," when she opened them there was a sense of gratitude , "whoever, helped me during my time in comatose, has my deepest thanks, due to being unconscious I was vulnerable to any corruption in my body," at this everyone let out a breath of relief,

"But what about Lahabrea," Minfilla asked, Kaia turned to Elidibus who was still devastated,

"There is a method of getting him purged of the corruption but don't know if it will work, if Lahabrea is to tainted…I will have to erase him completely," at this Elidibus flinched, and Kaia held nothing but grief for the man, the Asciens were a special kind of brotherhood after all its impossible to not have any feelings of camaraderie if you have known each other for eons, walking towards him, Kaia places a hand on his shoulder in support "I will try and save him, I'm not going to naïve and promise you his safety, but I do promise to try my hardest," at this the man nodded, Kaia just sighed, before turning to everyone else,

"Kaia, tells us honestly, can he be saved," Papalymo asked,

"I don't know, in my world no, he was too far gone, but I hope that in this one I can save him," she turned to Thancred, "I know the memories you regained make you feel uncomfortable with this notion Thancred," at this the bard looked at her in shock, before smiling,

"Thanks Kai, it is difficult, but what I really want to know is what caused corruption, or more importantly what is it," at this everyone agreed with his questions,"

"Then let me give a little lecture, let's to go the solar and I'll explain," she said before stopping abruptly "in fact I think it would be wise with the leaders of the nations cane as well, this is very important,"

"Than it's a good think we are all here than," said a voice coming from behind her and to her shock all the leaders of the nations were there including Aymeric and the Archbishop,

"Errr…" was all that was capable of leaving her mouth, which quickly prompted a smirk on everyone, once she snapped out of the shock she half heartedly glared at all of them before huffing, "well since all are here shall we," and everyone made their way to the solar, after everyone was comfortable she started and to there shock she tapped into the Mother Crystal, and in a flash everyone was teleported to the Crystal Hydaelyn's plains, with Kaia floating there in ground of them, needless to say Haurchefant was worried,

"Kaia! Be careful!" And all he got was a smile, and a nod

"Hear…Feel…. Think…." came Kaia's ethereal voice

"Children of Hydaelyn, you have asked for knowledge and so you shall receive it," she turned and raised her hand, showing an image of some sorts, and through it Kaia showed them the birth of the miasma, "the corruption stemmed long before this star had life, but it was dormant, ''twas in the third Umbral did the corruption start as life came about so did death as these two forever walk side by side, yet death was hated by the creatures of life and thus did seek a way to avoid it, And thus did the corruption start, spewing from the hatred the creations of life had and infesting the star,"

Everyone was shocked, at everything, they were witnessing and everything they were being told…

"When the beings of light and darkness were chosen, the corruption was pushed away and sealed within the depths of the star, and it was like this until the First came to be," Kaia floated upwards before turning and beckoning the others to follow, as follow they did, " tis the First that started the imbalance, in the first light had won, yet peace didn't follow, chaotic light plagued that star til it broke, and thus did sound the road to oblivion," she stopped and turned towards them and moved forward and when they turned, the sight that greeted them was awe inspiring, there before them all was the Mother Crystal Hydaelyn.

"Contrary to belief, Mother Hydaelyn's goal is not to bring light to this star, but instead to bring order in the form of light, however the goal is often misinterpreted and that's when chaotic light and corruption take form," Kaia looked at the Mother Crystal and smiled, "corruption at its core is neutral, but with no control over its actions via consciousness, tis merely a parasite, feeding off of the light and dark," turning back to them she started to descend, when she reached their level the moment she took a step, a circle which had various patterns within appeared below her, and in one of circles within this pattern held a blue crystal, and Kaia looked and smiled, before Y'shotola saying

"Where are we?" This was accompanied by the same question coming from the others, as they all stared in awe,

"I call it the crystal plains, this is were the Mother Crystal resides, and its from here does she watch over all life,"

"This place is incredible," Yda said, as she looked around,

"It is," Kaia said wistfully with an unreadable expression on her face,

"Kaia?" Raubahn started, "Are you okay lass?" And the answer was a small smile as if she was saying to everyone 'I know something you don't'

"Yes, of course, now shall we head back," and at this a bright light filled the area and once again they were standing in the solar, "at this moment the Asciens aren't our true enemies, they will be nuisances, but balance is what their aim is, right now, we need to root out the corruption, which leads me to give you all these", and from her portable armoury she brought out weapons for everyone there, each one the same level as each other but weaker than the one she had gifted Louisoix but all unique to them. They all looked at their new weapons with shock and awe, knowing that they were powerful,

"Kaia these are …." Thancred started yet it was obvious that he didn't know how to finish the sentence, as he stared at the pair of daggers he was gifted,

"Would you believe they still have an untapped potential, that this form is the most basic," at this they looked at her as if she was crazy, which cause they could feel how powerful they are, and with a smirk she went in to explain that these had another two evolutions so to speak, "theses are relic Weapons unlike Master Louisoix's these will need to be evolved over time and the reason I chose to give you these ones instead of one similar to Master Louisoix is simple, these will grow and adjust to you, being already powerful Louisoix can take the power his weapon carry but at this point you guys can't so a weapon that will grow with you is the best choice" everyone looked in awe at her and agreed that the explanation she gave made sense, "when the time is right I will give you the objects to upgrade them," at this everyone nodded, Kaia looked at the corner of her eye to see Elidibus, the worry still obvious in his posture,

"Brother of the dark," she started startling him out of his thoughts, "we might still have a chance to save him, but first I need the other crystals," at this he nodded then he left, sighing Kaia turned back to the others there

"So, to get the crystals once again I must go in order,

First is the fire crystal currently in Thanalan, this was originally gained by defeating ifrit but if I can get it before that then it would be much easier," this notion was agreed on by everyone there

"Well according to reports the Amalj'aa are attacks caravans with crystals, so if we move fast we can prevent it and we know the culprit already," Thancred said

"Not only that but I've taken away the man in the brass blades that was said to betray you last time so that should make it easier to do what you need to do," Raubahn followed straight after, at these pieces of information she nodded,

"Oh, that's right I almost forgot, Elder Seedseer, if possible could you ask those in your company if a Free Company called Crafters Anonymous has been made should be done by a Lalafell, the company should be created within the next 5 years or so if possible, could you keep an eye out for them please,"

"Of course, but may I ask why them," Kan-E-Senna asked

"This company a young Auri girl will join who will have the Echo not only that but they do become a good quality crafting company," at this piece of information everyone jumped up. Another echo user.

"But how! I thought all that have the echo would be found by the Students of Baldesion," Minfilla asked, at this Kaia just smiled,

"Believe it or not a large number of adventurers do have the echo it's just weak, two companions I had in my world had it as well it's just mine was stronger," at that moment Haurchefant had a feeling of jealousy surge through him, and before he could stop himself he went,

"Companions?" And it would seem everyone, but Kaia heard the subtle warning in his voice, and with complete obliviousness Kaia answered

"Hm? Yeah, two adventurers who were like little brothers to me, a Miqo'te by the name of Leon X'linth and and Elzen by the name of Siegfried Sawyer, I met them when I was the envoy for Ul'dah, in Limsa I met Leon, and he saved me from being stabbed from behind and in Gridania I met Siegfried who I met when going to help a small town in the north shroud from an invasion of opo-opos," and just like that the jealousy was gone, but when he looked up he saw her smirk, they all did before the subject was changed, to other matters.

After a few hours the leaders all went back to their respective nations to start on the plan they agreed to while the scions of the seventh dawn went back to their work. Meanwhile Kaia was sorting out the equipment and money she was planning to give to Doma and she was so concentrated with her work that she didn't notice that Haurchefant came back from his meeting in Ishgard, since he was essentially being "promoted" to her body guard someone had to take over the outpost he was leading, and that was going to be Emmanellain, so when he peaked into the office she was using he was shocked to see her looking over a few papers and signing things off, and Haru was there as well reading off some info she had gotten off of Creed,

"I'm going to have to get more retainers, there needs to be more done and I can't keep piling it on you and the others," Kaia said as she sighed,

"Hime, are you ever going to to tell them about that Clan Law," Haru said and silence full the room,

"I will when the Black Wolf is down and out, I will," Kaia, looked defeated what was so serious that she looked like that, then she stood up and went to the windows behind her and looked out before saying "the light, is getting brighter and although this is good, we have to be careful, last time it got too dull and corruption spewed out, and the calling happened too late to matter, but if this time it becomes too bright, I will need to go back," Kaia then turned and leant on the window,

"Back? Back where?" But no answer was given, instead she just carried on looking out, at this point Haurchefant knocked on the door and waited till he heard and answer,

"So Milady have you eaten yet, " at this Kaia smiled and shook her head, "May have the honour in escorting you to lunch then," this time she gave a quiet giggle and nodded and in that instant the weight that had seem to be squashing her down was lifted, and he felt that if he could ease that pressure for just a moment than he can wait.

Few weeks later everything had been done, and Haurchefant and Kaia were ready for the road, first stop Ul'dah so with Raubahn and Thancred they made their way to the city in the dessert, when they reached there it was too their surprise that they bumped into another Auri, the two girls looked at one another and suddenly the girl held her head as if she had a headache, acting quickly Kaia changed into a white mage and with two glowing hands she placed them on the girls head after a few seconds the looked up,

"Well, I don't know how to react, never thought I would meet another like me. Names Kai - Kai Yin," she said with a hand out and with a smirk Kaia shook it and replied

"Kaia Raine, at your service, so what you are doing away from the east,"

Thus, question brought out a flinch from the girl, "that bad?" Kaia said as she frown

"I-I'm looking for something, it's said that it capsule find it here in Eorzea," this piqued Kaia's interest,

"Can I ask what is it you're looking for," the girl brought out a sheet of paper and on it was a really rare item,

Fantasia, it was said that a bottle could change everything about you, down to your race, but why was she looking for a bottle,

"be carful out there, okay a lot of people would kill for that," she warned the girl who nodded, they then went their separate ways, but Kaia knew they would meet again,

"Kaia, who was that?"

"That was the girl with the echo and I sense there is two more that have it as well, knowing Mother it will be Siegfried and Leon," the small party made their way to the Flames Headquarters to gain information, and they were greeted by the flame commander Swift,

"General!" He said out loud while saluting,

"Any word on the Amaljia?" Asked Raubahn, and at he question the solider started to explain the situation, "Looks like it the same everywhere, Kaia is there something going on with the beast tribes," the man asked slightly shocking everyone there with his question,

"It's quite simple, they are waiting, Will the person chosen, eliminate them or help them, beast tribe are sensitive to the change in aether and with my arrival it's changed drastically," at this Raubahn nodded, "we will start head off to Camp Drybone see what we can find, if I'm correct, the Amaljia shouldn't cause us any problems but I will contact you or Thancred here if it goes south," both men nodded and when she turned to Haurchefant, she could see he was also ready, she had given him gear that was suitable for his class as well as adventuring, and with a nod they were off they were able to make it to the entrance of Camp Drybone on Chocobo, Kaia was glad that her steed Qiang came with her, the bird had been with her through thick and thin.

When they entered they could see a lot of damage had been done, so Kaia decided to help, she took to the centre of the camp near to the Aetheryte and called upon her two new retainers, Saku'a and R'sa and quickly set up and large pot of cream stew and in an instant, refugees came flooding,

"There plenty for everyone don't worry, so please form a line," she said kindly, and two line were formed in front of her retainers, and while she kept an eye out ensuring that no fights broke out, Haurchefant went to speak with the leader of the brass blades stationed there and after a while everyone was fed and watered she went over to her mate, "any news?" And the elzen shook his head,

"Same thing we heard from the flames, kidnappings have been happening and so have attacks of caravans moving crystals but all in all quiet,"

"I see, well the only thing to do is to go there ourselves, you ready?" And all she received was a cheeky smirk, heading back to the entrance they mounted their birds once more and took off to the where the Amaljia resided.

They stopped a few paces from the site so they wouldn't be perceived as enemies but the moment the stepped into the lizard tribe's outer territory arrows flew at them, and before she could react Haurchefant pulled off the new shield of his back and pulled her towards him afterwards, within a few minutes she snapped out of her stupor and changed to Astrologian and created a nullifying barrier but she knew it would hold but the moment she attacks the barrier would go down, if they were closer it would be better but they were at at a disadvantage, til a voice was heard

"Kaia! Keep it up for a few more seconds, and in a flash came Thancred and Kai. Both stopping in the barrier Kai started chanting the spell for Fire 2 and when was cast all the archers were down, bring down the barrier Haurchefant and Thancred charged while the two Raens gave them cover fire and healing, then

"Enough! What is the meaning of this?" It was an angry tribe chief, and this is where Kaia went in,

"Could ask the same, just as we take a single step forward we are met with a barrage of arrows," Kaia stared at the chief, and he stared back and a moment that seemed to go on forever he took out his staff,

"It might have been in defence, but you stiff killed my people," at this Kaia sighed and switched to Red Mage,

"I am disappointed, one would think a chief would try and stop even more fatalities among his people, I guess you only care for your god," at this those behind her seemed to either sigh or choke while those in front hissed at the insult, then came the moment she had been waiting for,

"Capture them, they will make good slaves for Lord Ifrit," not knowing that Kaia had a smirk on her face, she jumped back towards the others, to talk to Thancred and Kai

"Thancred the plan is to get caught, we won't get the crystal any other way, the problem is Kai have you found any crystals lately,"

"You mean like this?" And she pulled out and ice blue crystal, and seeing it Kaia nodded,

"This means we are all protected against his flames, ready?" And suddenly they all felt sleepy and collapsed,

When they awoke they were in a ritual field and Kaia could see the fire crystal in the distance, and everyone was shocked at the emergence of the Flame Lord, when he breathed out his flames they didn't do anything, and in that moment Thancred knew he could fight alongside his sister. The Amaljia on the other hand were startled these people weren't enthralled,

"You know, you should always check if someone is capable of being enthralled by another or else it's just embarrassing, Kaia said with a smirk," and changed to Scholar and brought out Selene,

"So, guys I need five minutes, then we can finish this," at this they all dashed to the primal while Kaia started her spell, glowing and ethereal white she started to chant

"Dearest Mother whose light shines on us all, I ask you, lend me thy strength to banish this being back to the plains, let him return to his true calling," and as she spoke those words the others started to glow as well, and it would seem that it had enhanced their abilities cause just as Ifrit was going to strike Kaia, Haurchefant to the blow and deflected it without so much as a scratch, from the sides Kai was starting up a high powered spell no doubt learned in the Ruby Sea and Thancred waited when the time was right, the moment Kai let the spell go Thancred went in and struck staggering the primal,

Impossible, mortals beating me, impossible,

"Nay Ifrit, tis possible, where you and yours rely on aether and crystals to bolster and enhance yourselves, we mortals sacrifice blood, sweat and tears to gain our strength, and this is the result,"

Raising up her book her magic all accumulated there, "this is it – Mother's Embrace!" and all around the primal where little orbs of light

Hahahaha is this your finale mortal

With a smirk she snapped her fingers and those orbs shot out powerful beam into the lizard body

No, this cannot be, Noooooooo!

Then he shattered into tiny pieces that disintegrated, "Honestly underestimation is a killer," Kaia looked at the rest and saw three different reactions, in Kai it was undeniable hero worship, with Thancred it was shook and a bit of fear and Haurchefant? He had a look of exasperation and amusement and all Kaia said was "What?"

After looking around they two fire crystal two fire crystals but shockingly enough not one went to Kaia, instead one went to Kai while another went to Haurchefant, when the two recipients turned to Kaia for answers they found a small knowing smile on her face, "come on time to go now we head to Gridania," then Kai caught everyone's attention,

"Umm…. can I-I mean if it's alright, may I join you?"

The other three looked at each other and shared a smile, before Thancred held out his hand and said cheekily

"I think I'm suppose to say; will you join us?" Kai broke out into a smile and took his hand,

"I would be honoured to,"

"Well, Kai, welcome to the scions of the seventh dawn," said the bard, "before turning to Kaia and Haurchefant "I will take her back to HQ for everyone to meet her, will you be heading to Gridania or coming with us,

"Hmmmm, what do you think?" Kaia turned to her mate,

"We should head back to Mor Dhona for now, let's report back plus I want Master Louisoix to see if any damage has been down due to that fight,"

At this Kaia pouted, and in retaliation the elzen lord bent down a whispered something in her ear causing her to slowly turn a bright red before her changing into marauder after all she only wanted to maim him not kill, when he saw the change he took off laughing with her screaming bloody murder at him, all the while Thancred was shaking his head in dismay and Kai looked at the scene in shock and confusion before asking the bard,

"Are those two together?" She said while pointing to the disappearing duo

"Yep, Damn love birds, come on let's go catch up to them," and the two started jogging out of the summoning area they were in.

By the time they had reached Camp Drybone, Kaia and Haurchefant has already finished telling the captain there what had happened, and so the issue was wrapped up, now they had to head to Mor Dhona to explain everything that had happened to the others, however there was a problem out of the four of them only three of them had mounts, so Kaia decided to break out the big guns, or in this case a car the seemed to run of ceruleum. The two men looked at the contraption in shock, before looking at the young priestess, who was sliding into the driver's seat, "well? Get in," and excitedly Kai jumped in behind her, while Haurchefant moved to the seat beside her and Thancred behind him in complete shock, once everyone one was in she started up the machine and started to drive away,

"Thancred, what's the situation like in Northern Thanalan," and thought she could not turn to see him, through the rear-view mirror she could see him contemplating, before he said

As of right now? It's safe to go through but there has been whispers of the empire attack anyone going through there", this led to a two decisions,

"Ok we have two choices the quickest way is that go through Thanalan and into Mor Dhona which could potentially be very dangerous, or we go through the shroud and into Coerthas then into Mor Dhona safer but more long winded so vote,"

The three looked at each and straight away said in sync "Long way" at this she nodded and started making her way to the high bridge which would lead to the south shroud. The drive was quiet until Thancred went,

"Okay, I give, Kaia where in the world did you get this machine," then is brought a smile to Kaia's face, it was always amusing to see reactions like this,

" this is actually a copy of a machine Cid made, I will tell you in more detail another time but basically we had the situation of a person from another Mother Crystal coming to ours, and a car like this is what caught the attention of the papers and ironworks," Kaia said, with a wistful smile, before carrying on " Cid had to fix that person's car but you know Cid, fixing isn't enough, so he made this one, and in the right places it can even fly," she could practically feel the understanding radiating off of them.

Soon enough they were at high bridge and close to the entrance of the south shroud, so she decided to warn them now,

"Okay guys, I'm going to go through the whole area in one shot that way we can stop and have a break at Fallgourd Float so anyone want to do anything urgent do it now, and all three left the car, Kaia also exited the vehicle to top up the tank, she was glad that she had set up plenty of ceruleum tanks of fuel just in case, after checking about the car was ok she sat back in the car waiting for the others, who came within the next few minutes, once all where seated she drove the car to the south shroud, once there everyone could see take monsters were coming in like water, so with a quick "hold on," she blasted her way through them all, and she never stopped even when she reached the other side of the lake, she kept driving much to the shock of her passengers, she weaved through the area and the only casualties were monsters that where on the road, when she reached the entrance of the North Shroud she stopped, "everyone ok?" she asked only to be greeted by an unconscious Elezen, and rather sick looking Hyur and a Raen who wants to go again. Shaking her head, she started up again but moved more slowly the and by nightfall they had reached, Fallgourd Float.

It was morning and Kaia was already up, she had to drag both Thancred and Haurchefant out from the car yesterday so she was a bit sore but it wasn't something that would irritate, right now she was waiting for the others to wake up while she had some breakfast, and lo and behold, few minutes later three half sleep bodies came and collapsed on the table she was sitting at. The sight was so amusing she couldn't help but smile and lightly chuckle calling over a waiter she asked for more tea and and a few different types of breakfast foods, once they were gone she turned back to the others, but just before she could say anything to them, Creed showed up, "this is a surprise, is something the matter," she said as she put down her cup,

"Milady, we have a problem, as I was scouting I spotted an Ascien, and from what I had heard. It was Lahabrea," at this she froze, this was not good, slamming down a palm to the table to shocked everyone awake, "Creed, keep an eye on him, but if it get dangerous get out of there, guys get something in your system and get ready, we are on a strict timeframe now and I want to make sure nothing bad has happened," After saying that she walked off to prepare the car, filling the tank and ensuring it was up for the rough journey,

"Kaia, what happened," she heard, turning around she saw Thancred, with a worried expression on his face, at this she couldn't help but grimace, out of all the scions Thancred was most affected by Lahabrea's actions, but she wouldn't keep it a secret, not from him,

"Situations has gotten bad, I just got a report that Lahabrea might not be as tied up as we think, I don't want to risked anything so we need to get to HQ, ASAP," at this he paled and Kaia could see him shaking, she quickly rushed over to hims and started to calm him down, getting him in the car,

"Thancred. THANCRED! Listen to me, I will it let him hurt you, not again," she looked up and saw the others "everyone better get comfortable, I'm going full speed and not stopping," once she got a nod for all of them, she got in and went off. It took the 20 minutes to get back to Mor Dhona, she meant it when she said she would be going full speed, with the help of Haurchefant she got Thancred out and they made their way back to the rising stones, "put him in the infirmary and stay with him, Kai you as well," she said, and from both she received a nod, she rushed to the solar and lo and behold Elidibus was there, "you're here good, question has Lahabrea escaped," at this he was shocked,

"How did you know, I just came a few seconds ago to tell everyone," now that she was coming down from the high she realised that the leaders were there,

Sighing she turned to them all and said, "My apologies to you all but to put bluntly I've had one of my retainers keep an eye on the Ultima Weapon, this morning he came and said Lahabrea was there," with this, gasps resonated in the room,

"Kaia where's Thancred," turning to the head of the scions she said

"He's in the infirmary right now, and before you ask he's not hurt, but hearing Lahabrea got out put him in shock, Haurchefant and a new friend is with him as we speak," this seemed to placate the man, and then the rest of the scions came in with Thancred, her mate and Kai there, "Thancred!" She rushed over to him and he gave her a hug,

"Thank you, little sis," this helped her relax, turning to the other two she got a nod,

"Kaia! Welcome home!" Said Minfilla, this brought a smile to the Au Ra's face,

"Hmm? There's a blue and red stripe on your necklace Kaia," looking down she saw it and when she turned to Haurchefant he had the 'I'm done with is' face

"I told you so," was all she said "don't worry it's just Mother playing a prank on me, turns out that the material that this necklace is made from was in close proximity to one of Mother's crystals and as a result it's become somewhat of a holder the stripes indicate what one we have right now which is water and fire," she said rubbing her head to stave off and headache, before Haurchefant came behind her and lead her to a sofa,

"Are you ok?" He asked, hearing the worry in his voice she gave a soft smile,

"I'm just rearranging some plans in my head that's all," she said before looking up, "Haru, do you think you can prepare this for me," said she to her childhood friend, while hold out a piece of paper, when she handed it over Haru's eyes widened before looking at her mistress,

"Is this what I think it's is Kaia-hime," she asked but what caught everyone's attention was the underlined worry and slight fear in her voice,

"Oh, calm yourself, this ritual is harmless, plus it's needed since I doubt we can get the idiot to stay put, a long distance one is safer in the long run,"

Kaia said as she kept her eyes closed, so she didn't see the expression of everyone,

"This needs to be done tonight, and Elidibus the moment it's done you will need to drag his sorry hide here so I can remove the taint," this moment this was said everyone understood, Kaia right now was a priestess and she needed to remove a taint from a victim, when that was said Haru went to get the things in the list, a heavyweight was draped in the atmosphere of the room, since moon rise was still a few hours away. After a few moments Kaia got up and went to the door, "I'm going sleep, I will need my energy later," then she walked out, leaving a bubble of fear in everyone's chests.

-midnight-

Minfilla went to wake Kaia up and when she peeked in the room she was shocked to see how peaceful the young girl looked, without the weight she had one her shoulders. She was just a 19 summers old girl, and it broke her heart to see how drastic a change the pressure made of her appearance, "Minfilla, it's fine," a voice resonated in the room looking up she saw her sister getting up, "I chose to bear this burden, and I already knew its weight and cost," the Au Ra got up brushed out her hair and placed it into and high ponytail, before going behind the screens to get changed, "and I wouldn't change a bit, I love this world too much," she came out wearing a garb that can only be explained and ethereal, (you guys can pick what she's wearing just has to be in white/ice blue colour scheme) and to add on to that she had changed to white mage, "let's go," and with a nod the both made their way to the large crystal in Mor Dhona, a place once called Camp Reverent's Toll and she saw a lot of people waiting, from the scions of the leaders of the nations to even the residents here, with a smile she made her way to the top of the crystal mountain and she saw the stuff she need were there, looking up she saw the full moon, and with a deep breath she began, an ethereal glow covered her form and her Mark of Hydaelyn also seemed to glow, picking up her staff she started to float, and what she did after was etched into everyone's heads, the ritual was beautiful but everyone could feel the power behind it and then it happen, the moment the taint was being dragged closer to her being you could see its physical form, nothing but a dark cloud, but the malice was vicious, yet all she did was raise her staff and the light that shone from it burned at the cloud leaving nothing behind, thinking that it was over some start going closer but where soon stopped, and larger malicious cloud and this one took the form of a man, those near him could here Elidibus say , "Lahabrea…" then it attacked, but Kaia didn't waver, the purification before weakened him, and slowly but surely she beat away a large part of the corruption, and the finished off with and large range and much more powerful Esuna like spell with pushed off the final of the corruption of off the Ascien, and then they collapsed which signalled both Elidibus and Haurchefant to move fast, and in a instant, Elidibus had grabbed and warped away with Lahabrea and Kaia was held in the arms of the Elezen Lord who quickly made his way back to the Rising Stones, the rest quickly followed after and the moment he had placed her down in the infirmary, he stepped back and allowed the resident conjurors to check her over, and was told that she had merely exhausted herself.

As she was sleeping, everyone corrugated in the solar to talk about what had just happened,

"Honestly that girl is something else," Raubahn said shaking his head, and though it wasn't in disappointment there was still worry in his form,

"Aye, though we have been keeping up with paperwork due to the memories we have, with going back and forth between here and our nations is exhausting, so my question is how close to her limit is she," the Maelstrom Commander asked aloud, and for a few moments the was quiet till a giggle rang out, everyone turned to the source who was Haruka,

"I'm sorry I don't mean to offend, it's just reliving that my mistress has such a supportive family here, don't worry, she's strong and with all you there she gets stronger," this confused the people there till Aymeric asked

"Haruka, what do you mean?" At this the girl stopped and looked around,

"I have known Kaia-hime since we were children, I became her retainer when she was 5 and took my recollection never has she once acted like this," just as she was about to carry on Mother Hydaelyn came,

Child do you wish to show them the past if, so I shall assist,

And though she was shocked she nodded her head and a large orb came to existence,

Send your memories via your aether to show them, blessed be my child,

And with and smile she showed just that, "when she was born, she didn't cry, as she grew up she never demanded anything, she was known as a genius by the whole clan, but" showing and image of Kaia when she was 7 shocked everyone there, "Milady had no emotions, until she was 10" and there everyone saw tragedy like no other, there in the memories was -

"A voidsent, that's a bloody voidsent," said Yda at this Haru nodded, they saw the clan being decimated till and 10 summer old Kaia came, and struck its down, but before it died it sent one powerful shot at the girl, all those watching gasped till and man came and pushed her out the way, and that when they heard her talk, no scream for the first time

"Papa!" And the man was gone, but the horror and shock left on Kaia's face was heart breaking, then what happened next filled all of them with awe and wariness, and dark cloud surrounded Kaia and within and in an instant all the voidsent were disintegrating,

"So, this is what she meant," Haurchefant said,

"What are talking about Lord Haurchefant," Kan-E asked, the young lord couldn't take is eyes of the the scene he was witnessing but still answered, "when we were in Ishgard and the Ascien cane she said 'Ishgard should be happy that dragons are their problem and not Au Ra' I had wondered what she had meant but I think I get it now," this saw Haru nodding,

"Ever since the young mistress was a child she had a large amount of power and although a large part of the clan did, she had the largest and the problem was that she was no where near maturity, but from a young age she learnt and schooled herself, keeping her emotions in, till that day, when it comes to us Raens, we are typically peaceful, unlike our sister race the Xealas," she looked back at the screen and Young Kaia had stopped moving now everyone saw what had happened, the cream scales turned a dark grey along side her horns and tail, her hair went from a light yellow to a black with faint white streaks her nails seemed to have elongated and her eyes were tinged with red,

"The Xealas are constantly fighting thus able to rid the body of excess energies but we Raens unless hunting are more secluded and so if we snap we go berserk, it's said that the Ruby Sea most dangerous creature in a berserk Raen, and as you can see it's true, in this hime hasn't reached her maturity, far from it and yet this is the damage she could do, needless to say the clan was terrified, but after," she trailed of and everyone saw some that couldn't be unseen,

"Papa? It's time to get up, c-come on papa, mama is going to get mad again if you sleep in, p-papa," little Kaia broke down, and the in her arms was the body of her dead father, they saw her cry her eyes she out and once again aura covered her body but it's not black instead, a beautiful pure white and for a moment they saw the Kaia they know now, "I'm sorry papa, if I was better this wouldn't have happened, but I can do this," and in a flash of white the ruins they saw were replaced with whole buildings, those that were injured or nearing death were healed which left only the dead.

"Of all memories you show it had to be that one," everyone jumped out of their skin to see Kaia there they could see the longing in her eyes, but she smiled, "I'm not angry Haru, it's fine," but the Raen in question still looked ashamed, "it's known as the Time of Life and Death, 15 people died that day, some due to injuries others due to miasma, and as you can see I lost my father that day, he was…." at this she stopped and everyone thought she truly lost someone important till she said, and what she said next shocked everyone "a total and complete jackass, if you excuse me language, a right royal pain in the ass, and cared more about the clan than his own blood, it's why my older siblings left, to get away from him, but in the end it did show that he cared, he just didn't know how to show it," when she said this they could hear multiple emotions spewing from her being. Anger, irritation disappointment but there was also fondness, exasperation and mostly love, "that day I went berserk, I broke the bindings he put on me, apparently, he wanted to make sure I wouldn't run like the others so hid sealed my emotions and my thoughts, he made a puppet out of his own daughter and didn't care," she just stared at the image of the young version of her crying out for her father trying to get him to wake up, she cried and cried till she had to be knocked unconscious "when he died they came undone, the darkness you saw was my hatred for him after all my emotions were just sealed not erased so they built up over time, the light was my love, and even though he did that to me I still loved him, he taught me a lot of the things I know now, I just wish he did it differently," she closed her eyes to the next bit, where she overheard the clan medics saying to her mother that she couldn't bear children anymore, and they watched as she once again schooled her emotions and hid them deep within, "Mother? Are you available?" Hearing a 'come in' young Kaia walked in to the room, "Good morning Mother, how are you today,"

"I'm fine, Kaia, I assume you have made your decision,"

"Yes, I will take the mantle as heir,"

"What! But why? I thought you wished to join your siblings,"

"Simple really, I want to prove a point, that emotions are need to be a good leader, I will prove the stubborn idiot that, I will take this clan to prosperity, with kindness and compassion, that my emotions help me gain allies, that will be my way of breaking free of his shadow," when young Kaia said that everyone looked at the Kaia there with them, and saw the same determination, now they knew, they knew what made Kaia into the person she is today, and though it was heartbreaking they wouldn't changed it, she then walked up to the contraption and sent a pulse of aether through, wondering what she was showing they all gathered round and what they saw was the most beautiful lands they had ever seen,

"This is my home, the Ruby Sea, within the sea lies three Raen tribes and one Koujin tribe, on land lies a small village and various bases which are held by the pirates there, if you want to get to Doma you go by either sea or air," then she stopped and allowed the memories to fade, and she walked to the wall to lean on it, everyone was replaying what the saw in there heads and from the corner of her eye she saw Elidibus, and he had spotted her since he started making his way to her, and to her shock he bowed.

"Err…." was all that came out from her mouth,

"Thank you, although he caused more pain and grief to you especially, you still saved him. So, thank you," this declaration shocked her to the core, and looking up she saw everyone else was also shocked, sighing she went and said,

"Don't bow dark brother, you forget we are equals, and though I do admit I merely did it to put him out of commission for a while, it doesn't mean I wouldn't have done it what so ever, if there if one enemy I would gladly side with you to beat it's the corruption," at this he looked at her it what can only be described as shock -though she couldn't see his face,

"You really are different," he said under his breath, before nodding his head and leaving, shaking her head she looked back at the to the group, and smiled, this journey was going to be exhausting but somehow, she was looking forward to it.

It took Kaia, 3 months to recover from the ordeal and while in recovery she carried on working, thanks to Creed and a device Cid had made she had tried to understand what the core of the ultima weapon was truly, Heart of Sabik, the core of the weapon was truly a terrifying yet ingenious weapon piece of work, the core was littered with the tiniest of runes that without and powerful magnifying glass she wouldn't have noticed, but she couldn't decipher it, and quite frankly it's was driving her up the wall, but short of asking an actual Ascien there was little chance of figuring out the core, with a deep sigh she bundled up the documents and placed them in one of the drawers she had in the desk, then she took out another set of documents this time they were for the clan, the whole time she was recovering she was doing this, dealing with paperwork and ensuring the routes she will be forced to take can be successfully completed with little to no problem.

After a few hours she got up to her final documents she need to be done today and that was the money transfers to all of the nations excluding the east, and the minute she did this she cast a spell that would ensure that the document can't be edited by no one but the necessary people, this way those on the Syndicate won't get their hands on it and all of it will go to towards the needed areas, finishing the last bit she called Creed,

"Milady," and she handed them over to the ninja

"Please deliver these to the nation leaders no need to wait for a reply," at her order he nodded and took off, there was the documents for the scion money bag left in her hand and this she was planning to give to Tataru, getting up she made her way to the solar, entering she saw that Louisoix was there teaching his grandchildren, smiling she put the letters needed of the table and left, heading back to her office, the next thing on the agenda was Doma, after talking to Hein these past few weeks she's been able to send off weapons and rations to keep the resistance going strong and according to him, ever since that day Zenos hasn't been spotted of the battlefield. She carried on working till and knock came,

"Come in," she said not even looking up,

"Kaia, have you eaten yet," looking up she saw the twins, putting down her quill she shook her head,

"Not not yet, I was wanting to finish this first," and just before he could ask what she was doing the leaders came bursting in, she stared at them wide eyed, "errrr….can I help you all this evening," and simultaneously they all brought out the papers she had asked Creed to deliver, "Oh you got them," she went back to looking at the papers her desk, then looked up again to see the twins reading one of them, and the expressions they held were priceless, so much so she couldn't help but softly chuckle

"Kaia this is – "

"The very same amount I said I would be placing into each nation's coffers, the damage this time round might not be as much but there are still victims from the war and each nation needs to undergo repairs, and with Ishguard, that is to help support you guys after Nidhog is put down, Doma will also be getting the same as well as Gyr Abania," this shocked everyone out of their stupor,

"Kaia, what is going to happen," At this question Kaia flinched, and sighing she scratched her head in trying to figure out an explanation for them,

"I'm sure you've heard of the the story of what happened when Mother Hydaelyn banished Zodiark," at this Kan-E nodded

"Yes, it has been said that world shattered,"

"Aye, the world shattered into 10 and 3, the battle between light and dark is to reclaim the pieces and quiet frankly, light is losing," this shocked the people there,

"But the problem is after we free Gyr Abania," Kaia said

"Depending on how things go I may need to leave for a while after freeing Gyr Abania,"

This shocked everyone,

"Leave but where," Alphinaud asked, and the expression that Kaia gave was heartbreaking,

"I'm afraid that I can't say, Not because I do want to but because right now the information is not only sensitive but also redundant, to know for sure Stormblood must come to its end," she turned to face the window and in that moment everyone saw the weight she was carrying, her memories, unlike them she had all of them, of how think have been and how the could be once more, she was working hard to keep up to finish things so everyone can live peacefully,

"Kaia…maybe it's time you took a break," Aymeric said, which prompted the girl to turn quickly, the Admiral soon added on

"He's right, since you touched down in this world you've been working nonstop, these," she held up the paperwork for the donations, "are proof of that," this caused everyone to nod, looking at them Kaia could seen the worry and although she want to carry on she knew they were right, sighing she sat back down, and closed her eyes,

"5 years to stop the ultima weapon and end the dragonsong war, after that Doma and Gyr Abania have to be freed, in the midst of all that I have to prevent, certain events from happening, luckily some are done, thanks to all of you," this confused then,

"What do you mean lass," Raubahn asked,

"Primals, certain primals can't be prevented from being summoned, but others can, one is King Thordan, now that the Archbishop understands, it's a very little chance that the primal will come to existence, another is Shiva, if we can get Lady Iceheart to back down we can stop Shiva from coming to existence, there are are few others but we don't need to worry about them right now,"

The explanation she gave made sense, but at the same time it was worrying, then there was a knock on the door, "come in," and there was Louisoix, "Ah, Master Louisoix, is there something you need?" The elder elezen smiled at the priestess and nodded,

"Yes I was wondering where these two troublemakers went," the comment brought smiles on the leader faces, a look of indignation on the twin and stifled laughter from Kaia, "Kaia, have you rested yet," this question brought her out of her amusement, and into mild shock but I quickly turned into a smile,

"Yes, don't worry, Haurchefant came a got me to have time away from here and something to eat, he even said he will be back later," she said, with the faintest of redness on her cheeks, which brought smiles to everyone there, they all knew he was good for her, then she started to put everything away, confusing everyone, "you guys are right I need to relax a bit, might take the rest of the week off," the caused everyone to sigh in relief,

"Why the sudden change," Kan-E-Senna asked,

"Simple really if everyone has come here all the way from there duties then obviously I need to slow down a bit, Oh and you can't return those," the all blinked at her as she went to the window confusing them more when she changed to ninja and opened the window, she then sat on the sill and slowly tipped back, all the all heard was a "see ya," and she fell through, and though it took a while once everyone had registered what she had done they reacted, some shook their heads, other ran to the window and some laughed out loud, but they all registered one thing, unlike the Kaia from their memories, this one took the advice they gave, she allowed herself to lighten the burden and allow them to help her, this in their minds was a step forward.
