Purrti lowered her green eyes and took a deep breath, closed her eyes briefly then looked Deadin directly in the eyes.
Purrti: Vanim told me to inform you that Anna was taken by the ArchAngel of Lighting.
She went into her story about what had happened, she barely noticed the half elves with him but felt their presence. After she finished, she lowered her eyes then noticed the young Mallee staring at her.
Meanwhile, Vanim was conveying her report to Kratos and Aaron ending with Anna's capture and the king vowing to help the cause.

After all the commotion had ended and everybody was back to there quarters Kyoshi walked over to Aaron.
"Hey, you remember what you said earlier when we had left for New Mizuho... about us being friends?"
"Yeah, what about it?" Aaron replied sleepily.
"What did you mean?"
"It's nothing..."
"Please tell me. When I saw those two at the house, Genis and Raine I think, they seemed really familiar, and now you, it seems like I've known you my whole life."
"Well, in Iselia, I went to the school there, I met Terra Irving, who introduced me to you. You were one of my friends, but I guess you don't remember."
Kyoshi sighed. "Something must've happened, I can barely remember my parents, and after talking to you, well, I guess I forgot more of them and knew more about you. Maybe they weren't my real parents? What if I'm a half-elf like you too?" Kyoshi sighed yet again. "I am really confused. I guess I should ask my mom, or if she is my mom about it."
"I don't know, I never saw any half-elf features on you, but not all look like them, if you were, then the human genes would have to be dominant."
"Well, I'm going to go take a walk and think about this for awhile, I'll be back later." Kyoshi walked out and started heading to the landing pad. Suddenly he was stopped by a man appearing to be Kratos.
"... Where are you going?" He asked.
"I'm going to Iselia, I need to ask my mom something." Kyoshi replied walking off.
Then they heard someone shouting. "You won't make it there without me!"
"...Aaron?" Kyoshi turned around and saw Aaron running toward them.
"I'm going with you, you'll get lost if you go by yourself."
"That's probably true. I don't exactly know my way around here." Kyoshi sighed.
"Well then let's go." Kyoshi and Aaron went to the landing pad and boarded the Rheiards heading to Iselia.
They descended near Kyoshi's old house and disembarked. They walked in, Kyoshi going upstairs while Aaron waited downstairs.
56 minutes had passed when Kyoshi finally came down, with a not so happy look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Aaron asked.
"I'm a half-elf. My real parents were banished and I was left, similar to Genis and Raine."
"How did you know about them?"
"I grew up working for Lloyd, and that's what he talked about when I took a break." There was a moment of silence that filled the room. "And since I'm a half-elf, I want you to teach me magic." Kyoshi had a smile on his face.
Kyoshi obtained the title of ?(can't think): Just found that he is a half-elf. Oh joy!
Aaron was shocked. "I don't know if I can teach you magic, I'm not much of a teacher. But if you want, I'll try, and if I can't, Raine and Genis will teach you."
"Alright. I guess we should get going now."
"Yeah, we shouldn't alarm anybody by being gone too long, or being gone at all." With that the two boarded the Rheiards and flew back to Exire. When they arrived Kratos was standing in the same spot he was when they had left.
"Back already?"
"Already? We've been gone for nearly two hours. Have you been standing there that whole time?"
"That shouldn't concern you, so just get to bed."
"Whatever." They walked back to their quarters talking the majority of the walk about what had happened in Iselia.

Nuis sat on the edge of their house, his feet dangling over the edge. He... just couldn't get Terra off his mind. She was so beautiful... and kind... and funny... He screamed at himself and tried to push her out of his mind. It wasn't working.
He jumped as he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder.
"Are you alright Nuis?"
He turned to Tesory. "Yeah..."
"Thinking about that strange elf we met earlier?" She asked him, sitting next to him. Mallee was asleep.
"Er... sure," he said.
She rested her head on his shoulder. "Well... what did you think of him?"
Nuis looked out at the stars. "I... I liked him."
Tesory snapped up. "You... you liked him!"
Nuis turned to her. "What? What is there to not like?"
"Well... you've just... never said you actually... liked anyone before. It's usually more like, "They're satisfactory" or "If you really think so"."
Nuis stared sadly out at the ground below. "He's... different."
Honour is in the eye of the beholder. It was honourable to rush to the aid of your sister. Honour is something you strive for for yourself, not for others. If you feel you acted correctly in saving your sister, than you have found honour
His sister had said things like that many times to him. But hearing it from someone else... it just sort of cemented it.
"Hae... how did you know elves came from Heimdall?" he asked her. He hadn't known that.
"Don't you rmemeber? 7 years ago..."
He nodded solemnly. Oh yeah...
Tesory gave him a kiss on the cheek and stood up. "I know you're going to go down to the ground, so I wish you good night now, because I'll be asleep by the time you get back. We're going to have a busy day tomarrow. Just get breakfast. I'm sure there'll be something else with our new friends for lunch."
He gave her a rare halfish-smile (XX) and jumped out of the hole.

Mallee blinked her eyes and looked around. It was pitch black, and she knew she shouldn't be up, but... She carefully stood up. She had tied the bell around her waist. This would make sneaking out a bit more of a challenge. Awesome.
She stood up and walked to where her sister usually slept- sitting up, her head bent forward itno her crossed arms on the table. She looked around. Nuis was gone. What a surprise.
Mallee stretched her shoulders. She wanted to talk with someone. Aan idea immediately came to her head. She smiled.
Terra rolled over in her bed. A lot of people had dreams where they flew. Terra's were nightmares of falling. She'd learned her lesson- you wouldn't see her by the edge again.
"Terra... can... I sit with you?"
SHe blinked sleepily. Who had said that? She lookied up to see Mallee standing next to her bed.
"What?"
"I'm lonely, and Nuis is gone and Tesory is asleep."
'And I wasn't?' "Okay," Terra said quietly, rubbing her eyes and standing up. "I'll sit with you for a little while."
The two walked over to the east most landing pad. Although it was dark, the stars shone bright, and a nice breeze blew across the currently empty city.
"Hae... what's up with Nuis?" Terra asked, sitting next to the eight year old.
She looked up at her, confused. "What do you mean?"
"Well," Terra replied looking out over the silent city, "why is he so uptight and quiet? And he seemed okay before Grandpa came in, and then..."
"Don't think so badly about Nuis," Mallee said sadly. "It's not his fault."
Terra opened her mouth to speak, but closed it. She didn't think badly about Nuis, but she didn't want to interrupt Mallee.
"A... a long time ago, something bad happened to us. The three of us. We barely got away with our lives, and, although Nuis did his best, he wasn't strong enough to protect us. It killed the person he was, leaving behind only what you see now: a sad, strong boy who is aggresive and overly protective. He's different around Lord Kratos..." she sighed. How to put it? "Lord Kratos is his hero. All of ours actually. Nuis refuses to speak with him, and actually doesn't even want to be in the same room with him... because he finds himself unworthy to be in his presence."
Terra frowned. Poor guy. He was worse off then she had thought. She looked around. Was it her imagination, but did the sky seem to be getting a little lighter? "It's pretty late," Terra said, helping Mallee up, "and you need your sleep. Do you need help getting home?"
Mallee shook her head. She then smiled. "Thank you for sitting with me!" She smiled again and walked off.
Terra smiled at her and stood up. There was no use going to bed now, it was almost dawn. She yawned and walked over towards the northern landing platform, waiting for her teacher.
Mallee pushed the rock out of the way and climbed down. She walked to the hole; she could see Nuis coming towards them. She curled up on the floor, her sleeping spot, and pretended to be sleeping. That conversation was one memory she wouldn't share with her brother.

Vanim sat near the edge of Epire as they passed over the ocean, she wondered if this was her ocean and longed to return to it brimy waters. Her green hair blew in the winds around the floating island. She found that she was usually alone though the island was a buzz with life and people. Rising looked down at the ocean, she sighed then headed to her chamber, to moisten her skin which felt dried out by the flowing winds. She could see the children come and go from a certain area but she left it alone... if they wished to speak with her she would let them approuch her. She wanted to find Deadin or someone to speak with but she wasn't sure what she would have to say to them. She decided that she had to speak with Deadin, so she went to find him to see that Purrti had already spoke with him regarding Anna's capture. She wondered if he knew how much Anna really liked him, she decided it was better that she leave him alone for now. Several minutes later, she was back in her chamber.

Tesory frowned. Was Terra really the only student for today?
Terra muttered under her breath and layed down. Where the heck was Deadin!
"Okay," Tesory said, Nuis and Mallee watching her, "come on Terra. Let's see if I can't teach you a new trick or two."
Terra sighed and stood up. "Alright. I think I'm pretty good, but..."
"Confidence is key," Nuis told her. "If you think you can do it, you most likely can."
Terra smiled at him, and Nuis hid his face behind Mallee.
"My brother is right. Now come on. Get out your blade. I specialize in twin blades, but-"
"I can teach her."
The two turned towards Nuis, who was currently standing up, his metal sword in his hand.
"Um... okay," Tesory said, switching roles with Nuis.
"Alright. First, we'll work on an effective thrust I know. This'll only work if you've worked on your balance, precision-"
Terra smiled. "Yep. Done all that."
Nuis blinked, somewhat bewildered. "Oh.. uh... yeah. Okay. Hold your sword hilt towards your waist... like this." He moved her hand closer to her waist. Terra blushed a little, but Nuis didn't appear to notice. "OKay. Turn it 45o to the left.
A little confused, Terra tilted it left.
"A little more to the right... perfect. See doesn't that feel comfortable?" He laughed at the strange look on Terra's face. "Alright. Now... thrust!" Terra shoved the blade foward. "See? That feels strange like nothing else, right? Alright, bring it back in, but don't turn it." Terra did as she was instructed.
Nuis stepped away from her and tilted his hand in the same direction. "Alright. As you thrust forward, tilt it to a more relaxed position. Go slowly now, and you can go faster as ypou practice it more."
Terra bit her lower lip and followed his example multiple times.
"Alright. Now I want you to thrust normally into this dummy," Nuis told her, lugging a straw-filled sack towards her (it was in a training supply house nearby).
She shrugged and slammed her sword into the dummy. It pierced one side, but not the other.
"Now try it with the spin."
She struck it as hard as she could, using the spin technique. She sent the dummy flying over the edge. That was pretty impressive from 10 feet away. Nuis smiled.
"Good job."
Terra's stomach suddenly rumbled. "I'm hungry. Can we get something to eat?"
Nuis scratched his head embarrasedly (whoa XX is that even a word?). "Uh... sure. Do you want me to get you something from down below?"
She looked at him strangely. "Oh yeah! That's right. You have Rheairds, don't you?"
He nodded.
"I'll go get something Nuis. Besides, I know you don't hunt very well with people along, and I'm taking Mallee," Tesory said, walking towards the Wing Pack she had brought up with her.
Nuis' eyes widened and he lightly blushed.
"Yeah. Why don't you talk with her a bit? She doesn't know you very well," Tesory continued.
She brought out the Rehiard and hoped on it with Mallee. They quickly sped away.
Nuis turned to Terra's smiling face. "Ah...well... I ah..."
"So... how long have you lived here?" Terra asked him, hoping to take the awkward look off his face.
"NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!"

After Purrti spoke with Deadin, then quickly dismissed herself, she wanted to find Vanim to see what the others had to say but decided that could wait, she did want to talk to the young half elves, she wanted to talk to Nuis, but she would let him find her. She went to the training area that Deadin had set up to train Terra and she began her practice. Taking out her anger and aggression on the practice dummies.
RP #8 – Genis Sage. Posted on 8-28-06
Merrick lay in the inn. He had been in some really, REALLY stupid accidents before, but this one took the cake. He faded in and out of reality, and the colors in both worlds before his eyes seemed to swirl and fade into each other. Luckily, his ears still worked, so he could still communicate with Ellyria.
"I'm off to find Regal, just letting you know. Oh, and try not to hit your head and fall over 20 feet again, okay? You've already done that twice today!"
Merrick lifted his hand and gave the thumbs up. Too much energy! He got even dizzier and let his arm fall beside him, as he heard the door close... maybe a nap was all he needed. He gave in to the sleepyness that he had feared just moments before. "If I die, well, it's not like it'd be any worse than this..."
He wasn't sure if it was a dream or not, but his imagination was running rampant. He dreamt that he was being held captive for a ransom of donuts. He wanted very much to wake up, since he knew that wasn't reality, yet he couls still feel the headache, and didn't want the full pain back.
knock, knock!
"Unnnngh..."
knock, knock!
"What?"
knock, knock!
"IT'S OPEN, DAMN IT!"
knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock!
"AAAAARGH!" Merrick screamed, as he heard some laughing from he other side of the door. Finally, he heard Ellyria talking.
"Okay, I think we tortured him enough."
... "I'm going to... kill her to death!"
The door creaked open, and Merrick heard two sets of footprints. "This is the man? All right. HEALER!" Merrick felt a bit better, and could now see properly again, but the headache was still there.
"Thanks... are you Regal?"
"I am." Merrick threw himself off his bed, and not surprisingly, missed his feet. He got back up. Ellyria gave him a look which he understood to mean 'What got into you?' but he ignored it. He had a mission, and the sooner it was completed, the sooner... well, he felt a little silly thinking about it.
"Lloyd sent us. You're needed in Exire. We'll explain along the way!"
"Your friend here already told me that, but I have no rheiard." Merrick immediately, without thinking, went into 'I wanna be on the same rheiard as Ellyria' mode.
"You can use mine," Merrick offered, "I'll share with her!" He regretted saying it immediately after it came out of his mouth. Why did he keep doing stupid things without thinking them through? He shook his head. "Or you can share with me, it doesn't matter, I just don't think it's safe for me to fly these anymore, after all that happened today..."
"I brought a spare." Ellyria Told him. Regal shook his head.
"No, I have a better idea."
Two rheiards flew towards Exire. Behind them, however...
"REGAL, I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" Merrick wasn't taking kindly to being tied to both rheiards and being dragged along like some sort of banner. It might not have been TOO bad if there weren't so many birds, but Merrick was still a little dizzy and this didn't help...
"Exire, we're almost there!" Ellyria called back to Merrick.
"I haven't been here in quite some time..."
"I need another lunch, I lost mine back there..."
RP #9 – Sekhmet. Posted on 8-28-06
Vanim decided after entering her room that she really did need to go find Purrti. She could feel Purrti's frustration and anger, what they didn't need was an angry Werewolf and Purrdi at the sametime. After several minutes, Vanim found Purrti taking her frustation out on the practice dummy. Vanim felt a presence of another in the room, she turned and saw Nuis watching. She carefully made her way over to him, she had wanted to meet this young elf. Purrti spun in the air and came down with a backward flip to land directly on top of the dummy. She was panting but still wanted to keep going.
Vanim: Hello, I am Vanim, Priestess of Fond. He barely took his eyes off of the large feline to acknowledge her I am an ocean elf.. Nuis head turned to look at the her I just wanted to meet you.
Nuis: I did not know elves lived outside of the elven village, other then us.
Vanim: Young one...
Nuis: My name is Nuis.
Vanim: nods And seeing that I'm over 1000 years old, you would be a young one, Nuis. I've lived almost all my life under the ocean, the land elves and ocean elves rarely mingle...
Nuis: Yet, you are here. nods toward Purrti What is she?
Vanim: A very upset Purrdi or black panther. I just wanted to check on her.
Nuis: You know magic?
Vanim: Mostly water goddess magic but yes, I know magic.
Nuis: My sister... turns away nevermind... Vanim merely smiles and doesn't push the subject.
Vanim: I think Purrti is fine here for now. It was nice talking to you, Nuis Vanim turns to walk out of the room
Mallee: softly Excuse me Vanim turns to look at the young female elf But I think my brother wanted to ask if you would train me... Vanim walks over to Mallee, kneels to be eye to eye with her but you are... I... get fluttered
Vanim: You want to learn elven magic?
RP #10 – Sekhmet. Posted on 8-28-06
Purrti was
concentrating on the practice dummy not paying attention to the world
around her, the image of the dummy became that of the Angel of
Lighting as she continued on. She did not see Lius or Vanim in the
room, she did not hear them talking all she could see was Anna being
taken. Several hours later, exhausted she slumped to the floor no
longer angry, she was cying. She didn't care if anyone else was in
the room or not, she felt helpless. She didn't understand why Vanim
had her go tell Deadin about Anna's capture until she looked into his
eyes, she saw the beast looking back at her as well, it was shocked
as much as Deadin was... She wanted to tell Deadin that Anna was in
love with him but she used up her courage telling him about Anna's
capture. She hit the floor with her clinced paw hard, leaving a dent
in the floor, she slowly got up to see if she could find Vanim or
someone to speak with.
She like the cursed elf and she didn't
want to hurt him, she wasn't sure just yet of the young elves, though
they had great potential. Her mind wondered back to her forest, she
wanted to know how her family was and if they were safe yet she had a
job... though she felt that she failed in part of it. Maybe Merrick
was a good person to talk to but she wasn't so sure, shrugging she
went to go find someone.
