"Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to ebon Askavi we go. To see the witch, o the powerful witch, hi ho, hi hoooo.." Genna sang as they walked toward the closest of the towns. It was only five miles from where they were, but they needed to get something to eat, and

"Hey mister batty man." Sarah piped in as she grabbed the edge of his wing, being the closest thing to her. "How much longer, im hungry, you got any chicken here?" She groaned patting her stomach.

"Potato." Genna chorused. Genna and Sarah had this obsession with Chicken and Potatoes, they loved to eat them, to talk about them, to laugh about them, and scream them out, no one really knew why. But it seemed to be getting under their escort's skin.

"We'll eat once where in the keep. I believe there preparing for your arrival." He managed to mutter.

"Why?" Tyler asked. "Ok, we don't know where we are, but where here, Nikki can stop people mid flight and.. She's a queen?" He tried to sum everything up, as he waved his arms around as if trying to fly with them over his wings. The escort stopped and rubbed his temples before turning. The tension in the room was heavy enough to slice with a knife.

"You don't get it do you." He said quickly and pointed at Nikki. "She is a Red Jeweled queen, which as you have told me, hasn't made the offering, so is that one." He pointed to Courtney, "And you're a warlord prince, red jeweled without the offering. The dark one is a Opal healer, and the red head a green queen." He just shook his head. "And a sapphire prince." He looked at Phill. "We felt you miles away. But it was different. not a brilliant power, almost like looking threw a ghost, a soft powerful silhouette in our minds." He shivered. "And now it's gone again." They all looked at each other then back to him an shrugged. Tyler smiled brightly his strange little golem looking smile.

"It's because were ninja's that's it!" He laughed prancing in circles as they started to walk again. "Ive achieved it, ive become a shadow, a perfect shadow." He laughed.

"Nikki, do the honors?" Genna muttered. Nikki smiled looking down and held her fist out, cloths lining Tyler as he fell to the ground.

"Didn't see that." He murmured as he looked up at his friends walking away.

~~*~~*~~~~*~~*~~~~*~~*~~~~*~~*~~~~*~~*~~~~*~~*~~~~*~~*~~~~*~~*~~ "Ow my god.." Nikki murmured as she looked up at the keep. "It's exactly how I."

"Imagined it?" Courtney finished. They were about to head inside the keep to meet this dark coart. And they were scared shitless.

"Someone's mad." Tyler said gently. "They're fuming, yelling at someone." The door swung open to chaos, everyone looked at Tyler for knowing this.

"DARLIA!" A young woman ran after her little sister. "GIVE ME THAT BACK!"

"No!" The little girl screamed. She had a ash blond hair to her mid back and seemed barley six. The other seemed to be a girl the age of there little group. Two young men walked out, one with black hair, one with blond. Exact images of each other. The blond swept up the little girl.

"Come now Darlia, what will father think? We have guests." He placed her down. The girl turned to look at them. She angled her head as a young man around the other boy's age's walked out, he had wings.

"Welcome to the keep." The heavy voice said from the hall. They all turned to face the voice.

"So that's Saetan." Phill whistled softly. "He's pretty old looking." The girls all turned on him as if they could beat him.

"BAKA!" Nikki yelled at him shaking a fist. Two couple's followed behind him and smiled.

"Welcome to Ebon Askavi, I am Daemon, this is my queen, Janelle." He said swiftly as the woman walked forward.

"I am Lucivar Yasslana, if you don't mind me asking, but who are you?" He peered closer at them as if trying to see around there wall's.

"She doesn't look so strong." Phill began to mutter before Sarah cuffed him upside the head.

"Hiya, im Tyler these are my loyal groupies." Tyler started to joke trying not to laugh as he went into fluffy yuppie style hand motions. "I love what you've done with this place, it's so... bright, and... Cheery." He started to laugh when the snarl of kindred tiger's let out. He looked over and bit his lip. "Good kitties."

"Excuse my friend, im Nikki, this is Genna, Sarah, and Courtney. Those two bumbling idiots are Tyler and Phillip." Nikki rushed. "We don't know how we got here, we just. we were in a accident and woke up here, we thought we were dead, but were living, and everything's so.. Confusing." She rushed out in one long quick sentence.

"Please, relaxed." Jaenelle smiled sweetly. "Why don't Luciano, Michial, and Daemonar show you to your rooms. Eat, bath, and sleep. We will talk tomorrow." She patted Nikki's arm gently and walked off. The boy's walked forward and eyed the group.

"What!" Tyler said at them throwing his shoulder's forward a deadly look in his eyes, his mouth twitched ready to laugh at trying to be intimidating.

"Please, follow us." The blond shrugged and started off. They just followed looking around as they went.
