       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Time had been a factor she hadn't considered, strangely enough.
       Years to her now seemed minute, they made no difference for her
       body never showed the tell-tale signs of such aging. She grew no
       wrinkles, no whitened locks, no aching body and lack of control
       over her limbs that should have been buried deep beneath the
       earthy holds underneath her feet.  She could thank the fortune
       of her partner for her...gift, in that ability. But it was with
       this gift, with this ageless life that Colette had begun to feel
       trifled, conflicted, troubled. Days she used to spend in happy,
       ignorant bliss began to feel different. Her mind felt more
       clouded, simple thoughts took deeper hold than was necessary and
       distracted her. Everyday was a sing-song replica of the first,
       the only difference being the factor of her love in her life,
       and even then...regrettably, Colette felt herself drifting,
       further and further away.
       She felt as if she'd fall away entirely.
       So she disappeared. It was cruel, unkind, thoughtless, but in
       her mind Colette saw this as the only chance she had at righting
       herself. At fixing these unsettled emotions, to stay intact and
       not lose her mind to the years threatening to take her apart day
       by day with their suffocating likeness.  The last thing Colette
       wanted to do was ruin herself by ruining others, and most
       importantly, she never wanted to see Osuka as drained, tired,
       hurt as he'd been a many times she'd seen him.  She needed
       to...change. To become stronger, for the both of them, and she'd
       do just that even if more hurt was necessary to begin with.
       Though this pain...it wasn't one-sided.
       Everyday had been a pain without him, waking up in strange,
       foreign places that she had forgotten from the day before.  The
       only waking thought she had the moment dawn struck her from her
       complicated dream-state being the lack of his presence.  Colette
       had been so used to feeling the pulsating warmth he gave off
       just from existing, leaving the bedside so hot she feared he
       would set the sheets alight some days, but she'd just laugh to
       herself at the thought and roll over to settle her form into
       his, to feel the pulsation in her veins and allow it to fuel her
       heart.  And without that...Colette woke every morning with a
       soft, hollow pang that made her wallow a small bit in depression
       and need for the one she wanted; no needed, most.  But she would
       solidify herself to her cause, promise herself that as soon as
       she was ready, she'd go back...she was doing this for them both.
       Colette could no longer be an asset to get him injured.
       ~~~
       That was how she was found that day.  Colette had been working,
       studying, honing her body through mind and soul.  Enlightenment,
       one might call it. Though not for a God, Colette had met enough
       of them to satisfy her for more centuries than she'd lived, but
       now Colette wanted the enlightenment of herself. To awake
       fulfilled, to feel satisfied with how well she knew her wants
       and desires and to not have a single shred of doubt or worry.
       And to do that one required a deep, intense calm that could put
       one in a state that was almost inhuman, almost as if she'd left
       her body to control everything within her. To time the beats of
       her heart, the throb of her veins, to hear the rush of blood in
       her head and then, all at once, control every function.  To
       channel it to her desire, to slow it, relax it, and fall into
       the semi-comatose state that would achieve her goals;
       eventually.  It was ...very hard. Her mind wandered, sometimes
       leaving her unable to focus even the littlest bit.  She was
       homesick, deeply, deeply homesick. But more so, she was sick and
       needing only one thing, and such a thing made that heart of hers
       beat uncontrollably, and the longing could leave her breathless.
       Today would not be one of those days.  Colette had her back to
       the world, slim legs folded into a criss-crossed position, her
       back straight and her arms settled upon her sides where they
       folded into one another, fingers wound together and clasped so
       tightly she feared the loss of her bones.  Though such a thing
       was hard to do in her body now, with all this new blood flowing
       in her veins. No time for her thoughts to wander
       though...Colette inhaled, slow and deep, inhaling the sing-song
       of the air around her before exhaling, a low, solemn sound that
       passed through her lips and seemed to release a gust of wind all
       by itself; though that was coincidental timing.   She did this a
       many times with her eyes closed, her eyelashes a blackened veil
       over the world, hiding everything she'd seen...
       ~~~
       Colette lost that sense of time again as she drifted elsewhere,
       somewhere beyond her, somewhere beyond her care. She was
       weightless, a cipher.  The world was around her, breathing and
       living!  But...it was also dying.  Horrible, terrible deaths all
       around.  Gun shots, screams, explosions, gunpowder singeing her
       sensitive smell...
       Her fingers twitched and Colette found herself beginning to lose
       hold of this kite-like feeling.
       Men shouted orders, screamed them, demanded the lives of others.
       Women with no purpose sold their forms, berated each other,
       slowly began to eat away at themselves.  Children became
       vicious, picking the weak, worshiping the strong.  They all grew
       up to the same, horrible beings.
       Her eyes began to move beneath her eyelids and her body
       trembled, her form heating to the point that fine, gentle
       droplets began to slip along her exposed skin.  She could feel
       the dress sticking to her back in a cold sweat despite her
       hellish heat.
       They wanted death. A life meant nothing unless it was one they
       knew...Death, death, death.  All around. Red stained skin...
       The footsteps awoke her and at once, the form of the woman let
       out a heart-stopping gasp. A gasp one makes when awaking from a
       nightmare, the one of primal fear and the horrific images of the
       inhuman. The figure spun around upon her heels as she stood
       upwards, towering above these figures that had frightened her,
       causing her to stand with an authority she didn't wish to
       possess at times but found necessary upon occasions.  Standing
       there, pink, hair a whirling snapping dervish in the wind as the
       multicolored silk flapped around her lithe form, magenta eyes
       alit with the same fire she'd inherited from her one and only,
       Colette looked a form fit to fight.  But she wasn't. If you
       looked deep enough, you'd see the fear, see the regret, the
       lost. The unimaginable longing.
       But she was silent as soon as her pulse closed, her heart
       returning to a throbbing dream of what it had been.  This woman
       was anew, looking upon these figures with such similar features
       to that of someone she missed dearly...Her features softened and
       she closed her eyes with a soft shudder through her body.  She'd
       never felt so vulnerable in years...And any of these people
       could have seen it, the longing and desire her body obviously
       portrayed. Only one word going through her mind.
       Osuka.
       ~~~
       Colette took only a few, graceful steps that offered out the
       surprisingly inhumane traits she had.  She was obviously not
       human, not anymore.  The way she moved was like watching water
       flow, her being itself seeming like the wind. One moment it'd be
       there, gentle and calm before disappearing all at once.
       "You...know of him? Is he near?" She wondered if her voice came
       out half as desperate as she felt. She hadn't meant to seem rude
       at denying the outstretched hand of the kindly woman, but
       Colette had only one thing on her mind...And she just needed to
       know. Needed to hear from them, for them to solidify her aching
       thoughts.  If he was near...Colette's head turned at once to the
       man upon the side who'd muttered the only syllables she needed
       to hear, her eyes wide and almost startling in their bright
       elation as that single voice rang to interrupt the speaking man.
       A voice that made her heart break.
       She could have cried.
       Her fingers were moving all at once, cradling this electronic
       device like a life line. For a few moments all she could do was
       stare at this thing...listen to the voice she heard muttering in
       her dreams, remembrance of lackadaisical times spent wrapped in
       warm, loving embraces with sweet-nothings murmured between
       cautious kisses, as if one wrong move and they'd both break...It
       was all she could do not to break down, her features obviously
       distraught as she heard his voice break over the radio and leave
       into silence, awaiting her, taunting her with those
       heart-breaking moments she had to stand there and wonder. What
       could she say? She'd just...left like that? No amount of
       words...she couldn't even finish her thoughts. She just stood
       there, staring into the radio, looking as if she could break and
       disappear into the wind all together.
       Slowly, her fingers pressed into the buttons necessary, her body
       forcing her to do what her mind felt wasn't prepared for. She
       sat there, holding, trying to think before her voice broke out.
       It was...hard. She could feel the hardened lump of unshed tears
       of relief threatening to choke her out, but she plowed on
       anyways, her voice still just as painfully elegant as she.
       "Osuka...I want to come home."

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The silence was murder. Seconds ticked by like burning slashes
       across his marred, hidden flesh. Hidden safe his neck and his
       arms, where not one iota of space was safe from the ruining
       disgust that was his past. All except her... Osuka had taken
       pain for her, but that pain was always received with no regrets.
       The time that he had been separated from her at the age of
       twelve to twenty two, he had fought to ensure she would never
       see the horrors of the battlefield. Though he was drafted, it
       was always to ensure that the scent of gunpowder and decay would
       never reach her beautiful, petite little nose that he longed to
       place a kiss upon. And even though he did all of this in his
       early years, fate had seen fit to continue to test them.
       Was this a test as well? Though he be a deity, must they still
       suffer through such trials? He could feel the gashes he
       metaphorically suffered begin to fester and itch, his mind
       counting nanoseconds as they seemed to sluggishly parade by,
       only continuing to inflict his fragile mentality. He was on the
       brink, proverbially hanging on the edge of his seat, gripping
       for dear life as he sunk down into the tall grasses he had
       wandered into. When was she going to speak?! His mind was raging
       in panic and distress, his heart pounding like the war drums of
       the Terra'Avenian assault battalions before their next fight. It
       brought tears to his eyes that he had to beat back. It made his
       body quiver and his chest to heave in heavy expansions and
       contractions....
       But then he heard it.
       It was like a gift that he could have never received from any
       other Deity. No amount of riches could equal that of which he
       heard now. An utter angel just upon the other side of his
       earpiece. She was there. Osuka's voice nearly became lost within
       the constriction he felt inside his throat. He couldn't choke
       out words behind the emotions he had to continue to fight back,
       though now he was practically a ticking time bomb of them.
       Osuka's hands pressed into the ground and his fires began to
       snake from his body, the purples and blues slitering forth until
       they created a simple triangle that now glowed and raised a
       total of fifteen feet from the ground. From there, all space
       within the triangle became nothing but a reflection of a night
       sky at twilight, each star twinkling and winking.
       “Bring her home...” he whispered, his voice broken. “Bring my
       wife to me...”
       …
       The three could only smile as they watched the woman speak into
       the two way radio. They had recently been sent out by Osuka
       himself after he had taken an emergency leave to track down his
       mother and they could tell that it already killed him to do so.
       It was why they devoted themselves to such a cause. But it
       wasn't in the service of a God, like others had martyred them
       for, yet service to a man who had no one else to turn to.
       Conflicting morals were his weakness and they knew it well. It's
       why they were more than relieved when they watched as a
       triangular void of space suddenly surrounded the woman with his
       voice crackling over the radio.
       “It's time to go home, Mother Exile,” the woman, Julia said as
       she took the top of the triangle, her hands pressing into the
       earth.
       “To the father of our race, let him embrace you.” Carlo then
       took the left side of the triangle as he spoke, his hands
       pressing to the earth in suit with Julia.
       “And may he bring you the love that only the Father can bring.”
       This, as poetic as it didn't sound, was surprising when it
       slipped from Tomio's lips. He then took the last corner.
       As the three of them settled, their fires, blue, green, and red,
       began to surge into the boundaries of the triangle. They swirled
       and melded into a swimming aura of color in which none other
       could describe but fantasy beauty upon the highest. Soon,
       though, the area that surrounded the triangle would begin to
       waver and fade until she would be hurling through space and
       time. Stars, galaxies and cosmoses would zoom by her in a blur
       of awe-striking light that no eye could track or trace. Of
       course, within this area was more heat than was necessary, yet
       it would ensure that the woman would survive the few moments she
       would travel at faster-than-light-speed until she came to a
       gentle rest in the triangular area before the Kitsune Deity...
       …
       Osuka's body began to perspire heavily as he forced himself to
       keep the portal of a roughly fifteen feet wide area open for his
       beloved. It was something he had only tested. He had moved
       apples and small armament through this, but never a being. The
       energy output would be enormous, forcing the wind around him to
       blow in all directions from him and the triangular area so that
       the tall grasses were nearly flat for a good fifty feet. But
       soon, very soon he hoped, would be his beloved. It would be
       worth it. The strain, the agony that began to claim his bones
       from the pressure the energy exuded, even the pain he felt from
       gritting his teeth under the struggle he felt to keep the portal
       open. He would ensure the safety of the only woman who had
       claimed every thought that ran through his mind. The woman he
       yearned to hold and to kiss and whisper sweet words of emotions
       untold that spilled from the heart that beat in his chest. All
       he wanted was that again. It didn't matter that she had left. If
       he had to, he would chase her across the realities once more,
       and over and over until they truly held an eternity within each
       other's arms.
       “Colette...” Osuka grunted through the stress that he felt
       surmounting within his body. “You'll never have to leave
       again... I'll make sure of it. Just...Come back...”

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Colette could only stand there, two-way radio in hand,
       admonished by the fact that they were so far away...yet here
       they were, speaking to each other through this small box,
       causing her heart to wring itself over and over again.  It was
       the voice she'd been yearning for, the one she listened to so
       intently that she fell asleep upon his words.  By his side, her
       arms grasping against his body as if he were her anchor to her
       being.  Which, in a sense, he was. Colette without Osuka was
       like a shoe without a lace. It could never get far without
       becoming aggravating and hopeless.  That was how she had felt
       all this time away, just a festering  bubble of frustration and
       anger at the distance between them, her own desires to keep him
       safe, and the stupidity of human, mortal lives along the way.
       Her only reservoir of peace being the moments of out-of-body
       meditation, relaxing and releasing herself to be but the wind
       upon her skin.  But here she was...emotionally conflicted. She
       wasn't ready, she wasn't strong enough yet. But his voice...just
       hearing it made the longing so painful that her whole body gave
       a dull throb.  She had to go back. She had to. Being away any
       longer just...couldn't be an option for her any longer.
       So Colette politely set the radio upon the ground and scooped
       her gentle, yet shaking hands through her hair, pulling the
       untidy strands from her angelic features plagued so roughly by
       emotions so apparent that they seemed to radiate off of her in
       the combined heat of her form.  Colette missed him so
       horribly...As she closed her eyes and sucked her bottom lip
       between the confines of her teeth, chewing and biting the tender
       flesh till she felt it would bruise, Colette was suddenly spoken
       to by the three whom had "retrieved" her and the thought of
       being home after so long...made her scared. For a split second,
       she didn't want to leave. She wanted to stay, avoid the changes
       that could have been too great for her to understand. What'd she
       say?What'd she do? What if...so much had changed that she could
       never catch up again?  Colette shuddered at the thought and her
       feet had almost brought her out of the radius of the odd,
       triangular shaped portal but it seemed too late.  The
       determination of all these beings was making sure she made it
       home, and despite her fear that plagued her and made her
       uncertainty rise, Colette felt that childish giddiness one could
       only describe as the aching excitement of a wonderful anxiety.
       She was going to her husband.
       ~~~
       To describe her method of transportation was...difficult.  It
       was as if her whole body wanted to be torn a countless number of
       ways.  Her senses were overloaded. Her mind roared and her eyes
       burned, her hands grabbed out into everything and nothing even
       though she wasn't even sure where her body was.  For those
       nanoseconds, Colette thought she would die, be lost forever. To
       become one with the stardust that had created them all in the
       beginning.
       But she didn't tear apart. At the worst, she just had a faint
       throb in her head like the tell-tale signs of a headache that
       dispersed as quickly as it appeared.  One moment, she was
       soaring through the fact of time itself, and the next...she had
       lush grass beneath her feet where her toes curled into the
       earth, her arms in the same position they'd been when they'd
       twisted into her hair in the fret of her emotions, and only her
       face lay different.  Expression changed into that of awe and a
       bit of an impressed appearance. Seems he didn't simply just sit
       around all day either...
       And she was home. Or whatever home may now be.  The grass
       tickled her ankles as if they kissed her feet in the relief of
       her homecoming, the wind slid through her hair, her skin, her
       being and kissed every bit of worried skin with a nearly
       motherly touch, and the sky was as gorgeous as she'd
       remembered...maybe even more so.  Colette was home... But, no
       homecoming in the world could amount to what she saw next.
       "Osuka."
       Saying his name through a radio was one thing, but saying
       it...with him right there. The realism of it all hit her like a
       blow to the chest and she found herself quaking like the grass
       beneath her under the wind.  All that longing, that pent up
       desire, the aching pit left inside of her as she'd left was
       suddenly...full. He was here, he was right there...she couldn't
       even formulate any straight line of emotion, words, or thought.
       He looked different, that was true, but she knew those eyes. She
       knew that determination.
       Colette knew Osuka. And she knew that right in front of her was
       the husband she'd left behind so long ago. Only then did Colette
       allow those tears, those bursts of emotion to slide across her
       cheeks like diamonds from the sky as she dropped to her knees in
       one smooth motion, all pink hair and shimmering fabric while she
       cupped her hands to her eyes. Ashamed but relieved.  She was
       both guilty yet satisfied.  She was home. Osuka was there.  So
       Colette cried into her hands in the sheer happiness she felt,
       the elation of having what she'd missed so horribly, as well as
       the sinking feeling of dread for having put him through so much
       again already and she hadn't even been home but a mere minute.

       By: Osuka Date: April 25, 2012, 1:53 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The simple seconds that ticked by seemed like another thousand
       years to him until he felt the energy suddenly disperse. Was she
       here? Slowly, as if time itself became sluggish, Osuka's eyes
       opened as his head began to lift. He didn't need to see anymore
       than the toes to know that it was her. He had remembered every
       part of her that he had visibly seen as if it was a perfect
       portrait rendered in painfully detailed 3D. The creamy flesh of
       her toes and the body of her foot which slunk up towards petite
       ankles and slender legs that were covered by a silken dress of
       an astounding array of colours, then to the face...
       The woman was still an angel, and the first word that had
       slipped through her lips had proven it.
       It was his name.
       Osuka's heart leaped as he watched her begin to crumble to the
       ground. He couldn't let it happen. Angels should never fall. His
       body seemed to blur forward as he caught her in his strong grip
       and held her tightly. To have her warmth back within his arms
       was more than elating. It was more than just a relief that
       seemed to take hundreds of years off his vitality. Holding her
       had brought a fullness to the empty pit that he had felt for oh
       so long. It didn't matter anymore that she had run off, or how
       long. Sure, some people may have figured him to be idiotic in
       his feelings, but holding this sobbing angel within his arms...
       Kissing the locks which rested atop her head... It filled the
       void within him and brought his vitality to full standing once
       more.
       He had his angel, and that's all that mattered.
       Slowly, tenderly, Osuka sat down upon the ground cross legged
       and cradled Colette's tiny frame to his body, rocking her and
       kissing her forehead and her cheeks as she sobbed. It broke his
       heart in a million pieces to see her in such a state, but all
       the same it made him feel better knowing that he had her now,
       and that was all that mattered. Osuka without Colette...There
       was no comparison. He had wandered time and space for so long,
       but even though he had to be with his mother as well, the effort
       had never been ceased. Osuka always chased after her, and all
       his hard work had paid off. He had her. It's all that mattered.
       Soon his mother would wake and Colette could meet her step
       mother. More than likely mother Fayt would have a cow over the
       prospect, but nonetheless all this will have been worth
       struggle. He'd never let go of her again.
       “I love you...” Osuka whispered to her as his left hand caressed
       her brow and cheek. “I love you, and I'll never let you go...
       Never again...”
       (Sorry for the brevity. Hard to see through tears with these
       two. T^T)

       Her eyes stung with the promise of continuous tears, her cheek
       damp while salt touched her lips, her breathing compromised
       through the heaving sobs threatening to rack her thin frame to a
       billion pieces.  She'd rarely ever cried this hard in her
       lifetime, which was saying a lot considering her years upon
       years of living.  But every instance she'd cried had been the
       same as this very one; a yearning reunion fulfilled to the brim
       through warm embraces and bittersweet kisses, only reminding her
       that they could be separated yet again. But such thoughts should
       never spoil her desired reunion, one she'd find herself thinking
       of instead of calming her thoughts and controlling her body.  So
       Colette crumpled into his frame like ice melted into water, her
       hands grabbing into the softened silk of his shirt where her
       fingers curved inwards, grasping and clinging to the fabric
       attached to his frame, as if it could be enough to keep her
       forever.
       Colette sat there, a sobbing mess into such a state that it was
       slightly degrading to herself.  She was meant to be Mother
       Exile, a being of cool and calm, kindness and constant
       generosity with a clear composure of herself. Not some woman
       whom crumpled into a sobbing mess, unable to function and sit
       there while she was consoled.  But it was so hard not too...wave
       after wave of relief just kept crashing upon her in a relentless
       assault.  His scent...so long had she missed it, always taking
       it for granted before it was gone; clear and crisp as it
       fluttered into her elated mind, filling it with the wonder of
       his presence.  His warmth fluttered through her body, a
       continuous, heated pulsation that she'd grown so adjusted to
       that she was dependent upon it.  And simply him.  The Osuka
       she'd known for so long, the one she'd fallen desperately
       reliant upon, the one who'd be her lover for eternity.  She was
       finally back with him, she was finally content and whole once
       more...
       Colette's body still shook with the aftershocks of her emotions,
       but they were soothed almost immediately as she felt the tender
       promises of his kisses, like the wing's of a summer-soaked
       butterfly brushing across her damp cheeks. Her hands had
       shifted, grabbing upwards to intertwine into his hair, longer
       than she'd remembered, but his silken locks none the less, and
       she held them between her fingers as she simply brushed her
       cheek up against his with a smile forming as radiant as the sun.
       His skin, her skin, their bodies still fitting together as
       perfectly as two blue pieces of the sky.
       "I love you, I love you..."

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Athena was shocked by the words that Amaya had spoken, she had
       always thought that he would listen to her call when she needed
       him. She guessed that power belonged top Fayt and Fayt alone.
       "Old?" She asked with a head tilt, blonde curls spilling over
       the left side of her shoulder. "Spare me the talk, Grammy. You
       don't look a day over one fifty!" Athena  giggled and nodded.
       "Perhaps, but first impressions are a bit-- I mean. . . A beast.
       YEAH, that's it. A beast!" Athena nibbled upon the inside of her
       lip, glancing her multi-hued eyes toward the floor for a moment
       thinking that she might be scolded for almost cussing in the
       presence of Amaya. But thank all that is holy for Deme's
       interrupting actions. She watched as he left to go outside and
       laughed to herself with a head shake. "Quite the mysterious one,
       is he.." She touted and giggled
       Before too long, Amaya would begin speaking again, speaking of
       family. It was odd, because she haven't seen her Nagase side of
       the family in a while. Adel, her father, she seen on rare
       occasion. She even had the pleasure of speaking to the Goddess
       herself, Serenity. Now that was fun. Rose.. She seemed to always
       be so damned stuck up, but clingy to Adel like a lost puppy.
       Because of that, she never seemed stuck up to Athena, quite the
       contrary, she was very much the aunt who spoils the niece
       rotten. "I have been good, Grammy. Coping with my self and
       trying to figure out exactly what I am and could do.." Athena
       opened her mouth to speak once more, but the sudden change in
       Osuka grabbed her attention; more like stolen it as if a cat
       upon an infant's breath. The glow was magnificent, and what
       emerged was . . . Beautiful. That's all she could say to
       describe the animistic visage before them.
       Athena glanced at Amaya with a puzzled look upon her face. Her
       eyebrow raised while she raised her index finger to indicate a
       'wait one minute' to her grandmother. She could hear voices.
       Voices speaking loudly in fact to her 'brother'. What the hell
       was going on?! This was getting more strange by the second,
       especially when the man suddenly darted out of the house without
       as much as a single goodbye or anything! "What the hell, man?!"
       Athena exclaimed, standing to her feet as the man marched out
       before vanishing from her sight. She huffed, utterly pissed that
       he would just up and leave his mother like that, especially when
       he put up such a 'rage' over the fact she wasn't awake. She was
       just on the cusp of it, yet he decided to dart out and abandon
       her. Whatever that was talking, had better be REALLY important..
       Her skin glowed brighter, her aura began to whip violently
       around her frame before suddenly, it stopped.
       A familiar wind swirled through the room, knocking loose papers
       down from the tables, and shuffling strands of hair, before a
       flash of light uncovered it's maker. "DADDY!" Athena yelled out
       in happiness as the pale man appeared once more. His violent and
       red eyes scanning the room silently as his daughter leaped to
       hug him tightly. Adel hugged back without a word. It could be
       seen that he was not all the way himself, but he had his reasons
       for being gone so long. But, helping to keep the man sane, was
       his one true love who his 'curse' has yet to get to. Apparently,
       Amaya's family seemed to be immune to the curse of dating Adel,
       but was Fayt truly immune? Or was she simply prolonging the
       inevitable with this 'coma'? Was this part of the curse? Was
       Fayt visiting him in his dreams and comforting him, truly her
       way of making him think she's staving off the curse and clinging
       to life? He didn't know and it was driving him insane! He needed
       to know, and now was that time. His glance landed to Amaya, then
       to Athena, then to Fayt. "I'm here now. . . ."

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       [center]Amaya didn't hesitate to smile as she watched Osuka
       change once again. Though a sigh parted her lips momentarily as
       she looked at Athena with gentle eyes. "Don't be so worrisome of
       your brother's actions.. His wife has just returned after being
       gone for a very very long time.. It seems that all are reuniting
       right now. Which makes this much more pleasant. And yes, your
       grammy certainly is getting old.. It may be time for this old
       coot to lay her aching body to rest when her children are
       finally grown." When she said that, she meant Moon and Avis.
       They were both very young still and she wouldn't leave them just
       yet. Looking to the whipping winds, seeing Adel, his state of
       mind. It brought sorrow to her heart.
       But the fact that he still hugged his daughter and gave her
       attention was enough to keep that smile from fading. Standing
       up, she looked to her daughter's body that seemed to be as
       lifeless as ever before turning that gaze back to him. "Adel..
       You never did listen to me.. You old fool.." She whispered,
       shaking her head before she went to Fayt's side and lightly
       grabbed her hand. Deme soon returned and came back in, pausing
       to look at Adel with a cold glare. "Hey ass.." He muttered,
       smiling lightly to Athena. "Sorry about the momentary leave, I
       needed to retrieve something lost." With that, he sat down aside
       his sister and looked at Adel. It was clear that Deme still held
       some form of grudge against the man, for what, who knew.
       "Jeeze.. Why my sister decided to get with you is beyond me.
       Can't even decipher reality from a dream can ya? I wo---"
       Before Deme could even finish what he was saying, Amaya snatched
       his ear and jerked hard, earning a yelp. "Be nice to your
       brother, Demetrious Trevon Loveray. Else I'll give you a beating
       beyond your years!" She said, a growl greeted with a whimper as
       he scrunched his nose up and frowned. "Sorry, I just don't get
       it! He doesn't even realize that Fayt's been alive the entire
       time! And she even visited him like she did us!" He protested,
       only to earn a harsher pinch before she let go and sighed in
       frustration. "Alright.. OSUKA, COLETTE!" She shouted,
       manifesting the two love birds into the room beside her. Knowing
       Yuro wasn't here, she didn't mind that. She was well aware that
       Fayt hadn't minded keeping her distance, as long as he was close
       by, that should do it.
       Looking around at the room full of people, she placed her hand
       upon Fayt's chest and lifted the barrier that kept her vitals
       hidden. They were soft, hardly even there, but they were
       noticeable. It was a relief, for her to know that her daughter
       was still thriving despite the long sleep. Accompanied by the
       scents of everyone she cared for, Fayt's mind slowly began to
       become more and more active. Her chest rising and falling more
       deeply as though she was struggling to even be alive. Then,
       Amaya's heart nearly stopped as Fayt's vitals dropped quickly
       and completely. Eyes widened and were misted by tears turned red
       from long use of tear ducts, she quickly grabbed her daughter's
       shoulders and tendrils of reds and blues, purples and greens,
       took shape and dove into her daughter.
       "Fayt! Fayt! Don't you dare leave damnit!" She was on the verge,
       she was barely even there herself. The skies seemed to darken
       and Crystalia was reacting. To enlighten the situation more,
       Amaya's abilities hailed from the core of Crystalia, since she
       birthed it to renew it's life, it kept her alive and kept her
       filled with the proper abilities she needed. And right now,
       Amaya was straining every last thread she had to push life back
       into her daughter's body. No, she wouldn't have a corpse. "Fayt
       don't you know a mother's not suppose to bury her daughter?!
       It's suppose to be the other way around!" She said frantically,
       losing her mind for the most part. Deme sat there for a few
       moments, stunned and broken for words before he jumped up and
       grabbed his mothers shoulders, pushing his own limits and
       healing abilities into the ones she was pushing into Fayt.
       For those minutes, it felt like she was being ripped apart by
       agony. That was, until she felt a faint pulse. Eyes widened and
       a smile broke her absolutely wrecked features, continuing the
       process until Fayt's eyes slowly fluttered open. Fayt's vision
       was clouded, her throat dry from not being used for so long, her
       body heavy and her thoughts scattered. What just happened? She
       didn't know, but for the moment, all she could do was lay there
       until she shot up, eyes wide with reality as she stared around,
       clutching the sheets tightly. "Huh?" She muttered, staring at
       the blood stained face of her mother, the tear stricken eyes of
       her brother, and the rest of everyone that was there.
       Was this a dream? Or had she finally woken up. Reaching out, she
       poked at her mother's arm for a moment before pinching her
       brother and earning a stern glare before a chuckle of relief.
       Then, when she saw Adel and who she thought was her daughter,
       her son and some woman who she assumed was someone close, her
       heart melted. Tears filled dry eyes and she shot out of the bed,
       practically tackling Adel. How she had missed him! Nuzzling his
       neck, she just cried her eyes out as she dug through her mind
       for words but nothing could ever compare to seeing everyone
       again. Looking as pathetic as ever, she sniffled and looked
       around at everyone, that apologetic smile on her lips. "I didn't
       mean to scare everyone.." She muttered in a cracked voice,
       looking to Athena for a moment.
       Reaching out, she flinched back for a moment before she gently
       ran cold fingers along her daughter's flesh. "Yo-You're... My
       baby.. My little baby? I... I'm so sorry.. I.. Left you alone..
       I.." She broke down once more, sorrow twisting her heart as she
       clutched her hands over her face and she sobbed out her words.
       "I.. Left my little Osuka.. My little Athena... Adel.. I left
       everyone.. I.. I'm so sorry.." She staggered out, feeling the
       twist on her heart even further. "E-Even Yu-Yuro must hate me
       mo-more now.." She whispered. [/center]

       "It's whatever, Grammy. I just find it kind of
       disrespectful that he wouldn't at least stick around for her to
       see him when she awakens. Oh well, kids these days, what are we
       to do with them?" Athena smiled softly, pushing her fingers
       through her loose ponytailed hair. This scene was getting
       intense, because, for some reason, she could feel the air around
       her get thicker and colder with each passing breath that she
       took. "You're never going to die, you old bat.. So stop talking
       like that.." Athena whispered...
       Just like that, her father bursts upon the scene like some
       sort of super hero to save the sleeping princess from her dark
       plight. His strong arms, body, and eyes, roamed the room as
       Athena pressed her head against his chest. Like any father
       would, the pale man took his daughter into a hug and embraced
       her tightly; lovingly. He might not be the most sane person
       there; the darkness was eating at him, and with Serenity's
       ascension, it was creating something he desperately wanted to
       rid himself of. He couldn't bring himself to come after his
       niece, like so many have his father. Adel kissed his daughter's
       head and nodded to her slowly, creating a fanged smile that was
       hardly ever present. He turned to Amaya and shook his head with
       a shrug. "Am I supposed to listen to you anymore? I think my
       heart belongs to that one over there now.. Mom.." Adel, with his
       deep voice and seemingly emotionless stare, cracked another
       smile as if he knew everything was going to be alright.
       Hearing Deme, Adel simply shook his head in his direction.
       He know part of what the man was saying was correct; he didn't
       know why Fayt had such an interest in him, especially after he
       warned her of his curse. She was dieing, and it was all because
       of him. Deme had every right to be upset; everyone did. It
       wasn't the first time that Adel had confronted his demons in
       cold blood, the death of so many women who fall for him; slain
       by the haunting ghosts of his daunting and tainted past. The
       only solace he finds is his daughter, sister, and the dreams of
       his beloved Fayt. He wanted to stay away from her till she
       recovers, but he knew that running away from his fate would only
       make him a coward and not change the fact that her heart was his
       to care for. Adel looked toward Amaya once more, lowering his
       gaze to floor beneath him. "He has every right to be upset. You
       know my curse more than anyone.." Still believing in this curse
       of his, though not really being proved wrong. Fayt was held
       together barely for over fifteen years...
       Athena, however, giggled at the scolding Deme had gotten and
       stuck her tongue out at her brother. At this point, she didn't
       mind, nor notice the fact that Amaya had called forth Osuka and
       his wife, she was more focused upon her mother, granny, and
       father. It was rare that she got to see any of them, and all of
       them together was magical; even though her mother had never been
       awake to see her. The thoughts still traveled through her mind:
       what did she sound like, how did she speak, what would she say
       to her, was she anything like Amaya; which Athena was almost
       like a little blond clone of. Were her eyes like her own? Did
       she smile as beautifully as she lay? There were tons of
       questions and she was on the very cusp of finding out for sure;
       could bringing her father here actually save her mother?
       Athena's heart beat harshly against her chest as she removed
       herself from her father's grasp and gazed up at him with the
       innocence of a child, yet knowledge of an adult. "Could you
       really bring mother back? Was she with you all this time?" The
       question was impossible to answer, for Adel really didn't know
       for sure. "In dreams. Yes, I've seen her. It was like she was
       right here with me, holding me, guiding me, nurturing me. She's
       a beautiful woman.." Adel said while running her fingers through
       Fayt's hair.
       Just at that moment, it seemed like all was being lost.
       Adel's heart sank within his chest as Fayt's vitals began to
       crumble at his very touch. He felt horrible; she was surviving
       all of this time until he placed his cold death dealing fingers
       upon the woman. His eyes widened as the struggle to keep her
       alive began to ensue; Adel just felt like dieing, like he was
       the harbinger of the death of his beloved. "If only I stayed
       away.." His voice cracked and broke. The normal emotionless and
       toneless voice seemed fearful for the first time in his life. He
       took a few steps back, his body petrified in fear and anguish at
       the sight of what was happening right before his very eyes. If
       he wasn't engulfed in insanity before, he would most assuredly
       be dragged down into the dark corridors of mental instability
       now. As Deme and Amaya struggled with Fayt, Adel watched on,
       unable to hear anything; he was in a state of pure shock and
       disbelief. Athena helped with the struggle, but she didn't know
       what to do. She turned from her father, to Amaya, then back to
       Fayt.
       "Don't just stand there like a deer caught in fucking light,
       dad. Do something!" Athena snapped, prompting Adel to snap out
       of it and shake his head. "But. . What can I..." He said, then
       suddenly remembered. He placed his hand upon the chest of the
       woman and took Athena's hand. She looked up at him with worried
       brimming about her colored eyes, hoping that he knew what he was
       doing. "Look inside of yourself and see the light. You are much
       more than you think you are, Athena. You was special. You are
       pure. You could do this. You need not instruction.. Just follow
       your heart.." Athena took a few seconds to soak the information
       in and rolled her eyes at her father's return to his listless
       demeanor. "Are you fucking serious?" She asked and shook her
       head, before taking a deep breath and closing her eyes. Soon,
       the room was enveloped in a bright light. Adel and Athena's
       backs were aglow with radiant wings of light as the warm glow
       was being channeled into the body of Fayt. If one saw this, it
       would seem to be in slow motion, with the glow dancing about the
       room like a slow orchestra of beauty.
       Soon, the flow of energy quelled and Fayt's eyes opened up.
       It was a beautiful sight and the room went back to it's dimly
       lit color again. "What the hell was THAT?!" Athena questioned as
       she looked in shock up at her father while holding her hands in
       front of her face. "That was your power, my dear. You are more
       than just a glow stick. You could heal and do so much with your
       gifts.. And your wings are brighter than mine; you're part angel
       too. You and Amaya, saved your mother.." He said slowly and
       without any emotion, though she knew he was sincere and soft
       with his words. Before he knew it, Fayt had lept out and nearly
       knocked him from his feet. Athena's eyes overflowed with tears
       as the streaming liquid fell down her wide cheeks in glistening
       diamonds. She seen her mother move! She was so frail though and
       surely would need to be fed and nursed back to health. Adel
       kissed the woman all over her face as the moment happened; he
       couldn't describe how happy he was to finally have his love back
       into his arms. "I miss you too, My Lady.." Adel spoke, now
       letting her finally see her little girl.
       Athena didn't know what to do. She had awaited this day for
       so long, so many fucking years! She had it all planned out and
       everything: What she was about to say, ask, do, everything. Now,
       it's all nothing! Stupid brain! Athena thought to herself as she
       stood there like a deer in headlights; just staring at the sight
       of her mother's radiance. "Y--Yes. It's me... M--Mom.." She
       said, sobbing in the most joyous tears that Athena had ever shed
       before. "No--Not your fault.." Athena tried to reassure her
       mother that she is not to blame for this situation. She turned
       to her father and narrowed her eyes, for she knew he was to
       speak of the 'curse', but before he could say anything, Athena
       continued speaking. "It was all my fault, mother. I caused you
       great pain and I feel so bad for it. BUT, I have been here all
       the time giving you flowers and prayers. I even kiss your
       forehead and stuffs! You are so beautiful.." She said, wrapping
       her mother and father up in one big family embrace. The time had
       been long, but she finally had met her mother. "I wont stay long
       though, because you need your rest. I will be back soon though
       and you BETTER be eating and back healthy again soon, young
       woman!" Athena said to her mother while wrapped up in the hug.
       Her life was now complete.

       [center]In the chaos of all times, Amaya's heart was near it's
       end and she knew that. Though to see her daughter so eager to
       move, to see her granddaughter and Adel, everyone.. It made her
       heart swell. Serenity was fine, Adel had his love, Athena her
       mother, things were finally getting better. One couldn't tell
       when their death would befall them, yet she was sure as the day
       was bright that her's was closer than she could ever imagine.
       The fact that it took nearly all of her to maintain control was
       enough to tell her that. Smiling still, despite the screams that
       filled her head, she looked to Adel and picked up a pillow,
       throwing it at his face. "Don't you go about blaming yourself.
       It was strain, you know that. So shush about all that nonsense..
       Fayt is my daughter after all, no curse will get the best of
       her. That and her father is an angelic being.. So, don't be so
       sure she wont mend you quicker than you can blink." Her
       breathing was odd, even her stance was some what off. Yet she
       just kept that grin like no other as she watched her daughter
       hold her own child like there was going to be no tomorrow.
       Fayt's arms tightly wrapped around her darling little girl. It
       had been so many years..
       She had missed so many things, but she wouldn't miss another
       second. She swore it. Planting a sobbing kiss on the top of
       Athena's head, she held her tightly and sniffled softly. "Don't
       you dare blame yourself.. It wasn't your fault my sweet little
       girl. Things happen and I'm a small little thing, birth is
       difficult for me, but it was never your fault. I'm glad you came
       to visit me every day darling. I'm so thankful to have such a
       sweet little girl." She whispered. Deme sighed gently and looked
       to Adel for a minute before he shook his head. "Bro.. You gotta
       have your head on your shoulders for my sister.. You've got to
       be there for her, goddess knows I can't be all the time. You've
       got to keep your daughter and my sister as close as can be, you
       got that? Else I'll personally skin you." Standing up, he smiled
       at his sister as she looked up at him with pale eyes that showed
       a living vibrancy. Leaning down, Deme kissed his sister's cheek
       then ruffled up Athena's hair lightly. "I'm going to go take
       care of some things. I promise to be back though, sis. Your
       bro's back, and he's not leaving you again." Amaya's heart had
       never flittered so happily as she watched her family.
       It was amazing how things could work out. Though she felt the
       strain on her own life, she wouldn't dare compromise her
       family's happiness. If it comes, it comes, but she'd fight till
       the end. Fayt shook her head softly and sighed a bit. "But.. I
       don't want to miss out on anything my little one does anymore..
       I've already missed so much.. I promise you though, I will get
       better.. It wont take me long and I'll be back to the way I use
       to be.." Turning her orbs to Adel, she smiled gently. "Love...
       You'll stay with me right?" She asked quietly, unsure if he
       would or not. For now, unable to know if he was okay was hurting
       her. Yet she was assured he was somewhat alright if he was able
       to hold her as he did and kiss her so sweetly. That gave her
       some comfort. Looking to Athena, she gently ran her fingers
       through her locks and smiled so sweetly. "I love you, Athena..
       So very much.. I'll be fine here and I'll get better, but you
       better come see your mother occasionally.. We've got a bond,
       darling.. And no matter if I'm asleep or awake, just think of me
       and you can speak with me.. No matter how far away you are from
       me." She said this gently as she smiled, those happy tears
       streaming down pale cheeks, the mark upon her right glowing with
       a gentle blue that gave off a sense of comfort and warmth.

       Even though Adel was pelted by the pillow and that caused
       his smile to grow just a little but more, his voice still held
       that same monotone value to it as if he had no interest in the
       situation. Dry, deep, toneless, emotionless was his voice, yet
       those close to him could understand that he was actually happy.
       "You are always so violent.." He said gruffly, turning his head
       toward her sharply and sending a torrent of wind against her
       face; the feeling would be as if he simply blew against her,
       just a love tap. "I hope so. I can't stand to lose another one,
       Amaya. Not her, not even you.." His piercing violent eyes opted
       to search the very core of Amaya's soul; now he wished that he
       could do that. Her kisses Fayt on top of her head and nuzzles
       his lips against her hair while holding her tightly. He released
       once he found her attention to be elsewhere: upon their
       daughter. She had grown up quite beautifully and strongly. She
       was only sixteen and she had a lot of learning to do still to
       come. He's quite proud of his daughter.
       Athena's lip trembled while her mother held her in that
       tight grasp, speaking things that she had thought she'd never be
       able to hear in her lifetime. Her mother sounded so beautiful,
       even though she was frail and hardly held wind in her lungs. She
       was the most beautiful woman in the world and was so lucky to be
       here for this moment. "Now look what you've done and did, ma.
       You've made me cry.." She said with a whimper, lowering her gaze
       once more as the sobs started. Her chest heaved and her body
       began to break down into fits as she finally broke down and
       cried, clutching her mother tightly and sinking her face against
       her mother's chest. "I...I.. Am... So.. Happy.. Right.. Now.."
       She tried to stutter out between heavy sobs against the breasts
       of her tiny mother. "Oh.. Okay... I'll remember... That.. And if
       anything happens.. You'd be the first to know..." She whispered,
       struggling to not fall due to her wobbly knees from drying so
       hard.
       "Your threats are meaningless, Demetri..." As cold as Adel
       could be, he was actually quite normal and happy at this moment;
       it was just hard to decipher when he was full of emotion or not.
       "I can't promise that I will; I have my own demons tormenting
       me daily.  But, I will try my damndness. I can't have another
       fall because of my curse.." Adel said and nodded as the man left
       finally. Adel planted another kiss on his lover's lips a
       multitude of times as he answered her question. "I will never
       leave your side, love. You could always count on me to be here.
       If not, simply call and I'll be here before your words even
       leave your lips.. The same call Amaya uses, I don't know why you
       don't use it.."He said with a grin as Athena chimed in. "Euu!
       Get a room!" Adel smiled and ruffled her hair as well, it
       already being messed up because of Deme. "I love you too, Ma.""I
       love you, Fayt."
