Zyphan wasn't sure what the gargoyle had meant, but obviously there was something in their tower they wanted her to see. With a hesitant look at the gargoyle who spoke, the phoenix flew over to the tower, landing near the entrance. "What do you mean though, for the future? I don't know what's going on.." Zyphan looked up at the gargoyles, not sure as to what she should do.

Reinos eyes looked as if he was seeing something far away. He could see things almost shadows moving, bars of shimmering like keeping the shadows confined within thier prison of rock and soil. HE clutched his arm feeling the pain intensify as he saw one of the shadows barrel into the shimmering bars of light and repel it showing the shadow for what it was briefly. Reinos' eyes went wide as he looked Roxy in the face, now understanding the reason for his arm.
"The Titans are trying to get free," he said standing, keeping a shiver down and looked up to the tower where Zyphan had landed....
----------------------------------------------------
The gargoyle landed at the entrance, motioning for Zyphan to enter.
"Inside..is treasure...of...Old..War...take...to stop...shadows...from coming...back," it said in the gravelly voice.
Inside the roost was several holes and alcoves where the gargoyles slept, but at the center was something special. A winged statue of a human...or something from ancient lore that had been forgotten. It held in its hands, as if preserving it, holding and cradling a shimmering blade of irridescent metal. Light came through the roost, hitting the blade make it shine like a star....

"Reinos... what the hell are you talking about?" she was quickly getting frustrated. Reinos said things all the time and most of the time none of it was explained.

"The creators of all the ancient races, even ours. They are the destroyer of worlds and enemies of the Ancient Ones, like Hades. Only those of his calibur can match the power of the Titans, " he said not looking at Roxy.
"They are bound by the blood of one of the first demons, the blood of Lunare..." he looked at Roxy,"My blood. My family has kep them sealed for eons."
Reinos was reluctant to say more, but he could see on her face hiding anything would only upset Roxy so he said it,"If I die, before another of the Lunare line is born, the Titans will be set free upon this world as they were on ancient Earth...."
-------------------------------------------------
Waldon sniffed Mierca, trying not to sob. The strange golden eyed one had scared him. However, the one in the room with them, Ignnis was as scary as Reinos. He didn't know what to do.

Zyphan gasped as she looked into the roost, as the glistening sword was all that caught her attention. For some strange reason, she was pulled to the blade, and in no time found herself standing before the statue and it's treasure.
"It's beautiful..." Softly, she stroked the blade, her focus all on the masterpiece before her. Why was it here? Why have the gargoyles chosen to show it to her? What is it they mean, to stop the shadows from coming back? Zyphan had no answers herself to these questions, but knew that she would get answers soon.
Zyphan reached for the handle of the sword, and grasped it firmly, marveling at the feel of the hilt, before giving it a good tug, pulling it away from the statue's grip...

The statue shimmered and vanished as the sword came into Zyphan's grasp. A feel of warmth and power emanating from it's shimmering blade, but a deep cold to its touch. A promise of darkness and pain from within in showing it's true origins.
The blade was of demonic making, with power equal to that of the fabled blade of Theodoric who had slain the ruler of Pandemonium centuries before. A blade that could only be made from the essence of a demon.
----------------------------------------------
Reinos shivered as he covered his arm and smiled at Roxy,"I don't intend to die so easily foxy Roxy."
He grinned like a child.....
------------------------------------------
Waldon stood up from behind Mierca as he sniffed the air, feeeling tired. He nudged Mierca with his snout wanting sleep.
The Tuaros laughed seeing the boar demon acting as if the little child was his sister...

"fo..." she looked at him oddly, he'd never said that before.

After the nudge from Waldon, Mierca glanced at him, crossed her arms, and pouted.
"We were pulled in here for... why were we pulled in? Why didn't Almi's - ...uncle? - just come see us? We could'a eaten all together..."
Even as she spoke, the child rubbed at her eyes. It'd been awhile since she'd slept properly - only ever a few short hours since she'd met Reinos, Roxy, and Zyphan. Even most recently, when Almi had woken her after that -
The little Elf stiffened and her eyes widened. Kyra... Reinos' necklace! The girl wanted nothing to do with that ghost person, but the necklace still seemed special to the wolf man. And she'd tossed it away! Not knowing that Almi had actually picked it up, Mierca suddenly rushed off to try to find it, saying simply, "I'll be back real quick! I, uh, forgot something!"

*Nova are sneaky >.> not really sure what to post so here it all is...*
Ignnis had waited a few minutes to see what would happen next, but it seemed there was nothing left to speak of. Almi was clinging to him by now, abruptly yawning widely as her head thudded lightly against his thigh, her eyes. Watching the boar demon do likewise just before almost made him laugh, though he refrained from it. Sighing, he grasped Almara gently by the wrist, then moved to take the elf child's likewise until she abruptly darted off. Arching an eyebrow, he shrugged it off, then turned and motioned for the pig to follow as he moved to the corridor she'd turned down, picking up a package Almi had dropped in one nearby corner.
She'd been too tired to do much of anything to stop Mierca, though her pack strangely began to feel heavy again. Incoherent thoughts did laps in her mind so she barely noticed until her grip on Ignnis slipped from her. Suddenly, she became attentive, grabbing steps as she followed obediently.

Zyphan gasped as the statue disappeared, but was more amazed by the feel of the sword. She could tell it held immense power, though where it came from or why it held that power she wasn't too sure the reason. All she knew was that the gargoyles were giving it to her, which for sure meant a lot. This was their home, after all, and the had let her in, and given her two gifts- a rose made of ice, and a sword full of immense power.
The ice pheonix turned to the gargoyle who had directed her inside to the sword, and held it up, it's blade shimmering in her grasp. "How come you're giving it to me? Why...why me?" She was very much confused, but was so astounded at the feel of the blade that she almost didn't care. It was pleasure and amazement enough just to stare at it, and feel the power emanating from the sword.

The gargoyle didn't speak for a moment but then its jaw began moving and that gravelly voice came out,"Long....ago.....we were....like you....of....flesh...and..bone......we...lost our....bodies...to the....dark one......the....one...who....sired....the...hellbeast...you...fly..with."
It spoke hard, but there was a sadness in it's voice, almost as if it was about to cry...in truth it was crying, though no tears of water came forth...but tears of stone...little pebbles falling from it's hollow sockets of eyes.....
----------------------------------------------------------
Reinos' attention was suddenly brought back down to the ground as he saw Mierca erupt from the door unattended and heading for the city. He intercepted her and grab her quickly.
"Hey now, where are you going? You should be in bed." he said quickly, not realizing how fast he had actually gottne scared of Mierca just running off... ------------------------------------------------------------
Waldon stayed on the stairs behind the two people. They were very strange to him, and the little one seemed a littl confused about something, though Waldon being as forward and unthinking as he was paid no attention to it, but he did feel the change in pressure when Zyphan had pulled the sword. Something in his memory was trying to click, but he knew not what....the only thing he wanted was sleep....
------------------------------------------------------------
A thunderous clash erupted high above the buildings of Largos, as Sonanja beat her raven black wings trying to keep from falling. She righted herself and flew back up level with the other, the one who had nearly knocked her out of the sky.
"Sister, it so good to see you," came a menacing and familiar voice from the shadowy figure and as the moonlight shove from a passing cloud, she thought it Reinos.
"Reinos...brother where did you get the ability of flying. Only I of the three of us have that ability," she screeched at him, feeling vulnerable at her territory being invaded.
The figures face darkened as she realized the scar on the left side of his face was not there and she covered her mouth quickly.."Theodoric," she gasped...
"Sister, I am disappointed in you...not recognizing me and instead mistaking me for that mut of a brother of ours. He is nothing but a failed experiment that should have never been brought into existence!" he shouted.
Sonanja didn't know how to respond to this figure cloaked in swirling shadows, almost like a coats similar to Reinos' vampire alter ego, but this seemed...darker was a she could think.
"Brother, please stop this. Why are you trying to take over my city,my world! I'm the one who fought for centuries against Hades and Beelzebub for the throne and I am denied for being YOUR SISTER!" she screamed at him.
"STOP!" he shouted back,"You tried to take the throne after I fought our father Zorc, you sat and bided your time, amassing resources and waiting for the right time. Thanks to you and mother, I was confined to the inside of that crystal for centuries with our father. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW UTTERLY INSANE HE IS!"
Theodoric's eyes were glowing red at this point.....a sign that Sonanja knew to well. As Theodoric raised his sword again, she fled tearing a rip in space and time like Reinos as the shockwave hit the outer sands of the city. She was cold as she thought of the only thing she could.
Reinos, she needed Reinos.....her thoughts ejected her from the passage onto the cold floor of the medical wing of Tuaros' palace, unconscious.....

Roxy sighed and walked away from Reinos, his attention was just all over the place. She figured she could just talk to him later to try and understand things.
She didn't walk far before she stopped and shivered, something just happened but she wasn't entirely sure of what.

Reinos shivered at the moment as Roxy did. He was shocked at that, she had gained a good bit of her demonic power to sense others like what he just did. He didn't know who it was, but he was sure they were in the palace.
"Roxy, theirs someone in the palace...another demon. The Tuaros should have sensed it too. Could you go check it out?" he asked...
