(No aliens were involved. Do I LOOK like something an alien would be interested in?.........Wait a minute don't answer that. ) Reinos looked over as the draconian came back to consciousness. This guy took a beating and came back that fast? Reinos saw Zyphan, a a strange look on her face, could she want to help him? Reinos thought for a moment before walking over. "Scoltun, thank you for what you did," he said as the elves moved over to Mierca. Reinos had an idea. "I can...no, we can help if you'll allow us," he said to him,looking at Zyphan. Thier abilities were growing...along with his own, and he would have to find out why, but for the moment, he would help those who had chosen to help him. Reinos didn't even notice a new presense enter the Elven Royal House, one of the darkest of all and the only one who knew the true scope of events that were unfolding. Within his dark gloved hands was the fate of this group, along with those they loved. He strolled through the great oak doors, taking off his helmet of invisibility to greet the Elven Queen, she bowed her head in respect, for not to show respect to the Lord of the Underworld would be foly. "They are here, Lord Hades....but..." the Queen said, looking up into his dark eyes. "But?" he more demanded than asked. "He has the Trinity discs with him, and one of the Lo'ra house. I do not understand how that coudl be possible, my lord. Also another canine demon is with him and two of the Winged Races. Is he trying to bring the old ways back my Lord?" she said in a hurry, forgetting who she was talking to. He simply smiled,"What would you expect from a member of my House." "I want them brought to the Council Chambers soon. It seems that I cannot let my children run loose in this world any longer," he said as he headed down the corridors to the Council Chambers....

Roxy walked around for a bit and looked over the ward they were in, looking at everything in the room, and everyone who was with them, wondering how the group was.
She felt really tired, but she felt relaxed here, since she felt like they were out of danger... temporarily...
She finally changed back to her human form and had SUCH a headache...
The demon part of her left and rested letting the human part come back and have the joy of enduring a splitting headache.
She didn't complain though, just rubbed her temples and walked around to see how the group was.

Scoltun just smiled at Zyphan who had a look of concern on her face and nodded in return. He then turned his attention to Reinos who was asking him to allow them to help him. He didn't really understand how he was planning to help him. The healers had already healed most of his internal wounds. He had never been taken care of this way and frankly all the attention made him uncomfortable. He replied, "Its ok Reinos, I am fine really...", he paused as he tried to get up but laid down when the pain began to rise in his chest. He was quickly held down by two of the elves, who shook their head to say that he shouldn't try.

If she knew how, she would have tried to put an end to Scoltun's pain, but she didn't know, and it frustrated her to no end to have this ability and yet not be able to do what she would with it. Hearing Reinos, but concentrating more on her friend, Zyphan wondered if there was a way to help him that was different from the elves' methods.
The phoenix's concern grew as he tried to sit up and was rewarded with pain, and ignoring his request, looked up at Reinos. "You say we might be able to help him, how?" Seeing Scoltun in pain while she sat there with nothing to do frustrated the girl, and if there was something that could be done, then she would do it.

Reinos looked to Roxy for a moment, seeing her rub her temples. It looked like that he was going to have to check on her, or at least wanted to. That demon of hers had gotten on his nerves a bit, but no more than his own would.
"The same why I helped you, Zyphan. Within each half-breed of any race there is a...core to put it in a sense. Within you I didn't recognize it at first, but after your transformation in Largos, that is the only thing it could be," he said.
"Scoltun here is obviously half draconian, part of the dragon race. In you I found a type of cold fire, the ice phoenix. In him, I would expect to find the raging inferno of a volcano," he continued.
"You would be correct in your assessment Reinos Lunare," came a voice from the doorway,"It would interest me greatly if you would continue." The Elven Queen had come to greet her guests. She wore a flowing blue gown and had hair the color of moonlight. However, her eyes unsettled Reinos. They reminded him of a hawk.
"Very well," he said, turning back to Zyphan,"I looked into you and found our source of power and nudged it to help you wake up..." he trailed off suddenly realizing she didn't know she had died, or gotten pretty close.
One of the Elven healers approched Roxy to ask if she wanted something for her head.
"Very astute young demon. I wonder what you would find if you looked into an elf," the Queen said. She looked at Mierca when she said it and made Reinos growl.
Reinos saw movement behind the Queen and realized she wasn't alone. Her bodyguards were with her. Reinos kept his tongue. He wasn't going to provoke a fight with the elves.
"Your Highness," he said,"We thank you for allowing us passage into your realm."
"No need for thanks. It wasn't I who extended the invitation to you and your friends," she said, dismissing the subject.
Warning bells went off in Reinos' mind. She wasn't the one who sent the invintation?
"Who sent the invitation, your Highness?" Reinos asked.
She looked at him and a strange smile came to her face,"Why it was your great-grandfather Reinos. As a matter of fact he is here to see you and your friends," she said.
Reinos suddenly felt a jolt of fear that he pushed down,"Great-grandfather?" he said,"You mean..."
"Yes, Hades, Lord of the Dead and Ruler of the Underwold," she said.
Reinos' mind jumped. He could find out the truth now and possibly keep one of his promises and get Roxy her parents back, but not before he was sure his friends were alright....

*well, since everyone seems to be ignoring meh >~>...*
Hours, days... she didn't know how long it was. But finally, Alma found the strength within her to bring about consciousness. Briefly, at first; the twitch of a finger, then a tiny groan and stirring eyes. Finally, she could feel her body once again, having been 'reconnected' to it once more. And the feelings she was getting were... weird, at best.
Someone was definitely touching her, and she didn't like much the thought of being toyed with; she resisted as best she could, most likely shocking the elf who was tending to her and nearly sending her into a heart attack. When Alma realized it was just a nurse, she relaxed a little, although physical contact still made her jump a little until she got used to being... herself again. There was quite a commotion outside, and she wondered just what was going on. Still, the young Syrin didn't have that much energy, although she really wanted to get up and move; the process of healing without killing herself had taken much from her, and now that she was conscious, it was only a little while before she drifted away once more. She just hoped the others were doing better than she was at the moment...

Meirca wasn't sure how to respond to everything around her. The only times she'd ever been out of the city were when the human couple who she thought of as parents would take her out on occasion; and now she was suddenly surrounded by her own kind, sure even able to meet her real parents. It was a strange mix of joy and fear that filled her, and they only way she could keep any sort of focus was to keep wandering around and looking at how her friends were.
When the queen appeared, the child way able to do something else - gawk at a gem of what seemed to her already a beautiful people. She started to move forward, but stopped when her ears caught a growl from Reinos when the woman looked at her. The words that followed her confused her even further, noticing how her wolfish friend didn't seen to like the idea of his own family.
She wanted to know what was going on, but the more that was said, the less she understood. All she could do was go back to what she had been and hope things would be explained to her. In the meantime, her other friends... Roxy looked unhappy, but otherwise okay. Zyphan was similar, but more worried-looking. Sculton had seemed pretty bad and still looked rough, but it seemed he was okay enough to try refusing help, not that his protests seemed effective. And Almi, the girl with the different set of strange ears was... moving? And awake!
A smile crossed the child's face and she skipped over, saying, "Almi! You're awake too now! It was scary when you got buried. But, it was all scary... But I think it's okay now. Confusing, but okay..."

Almara was slow to respond, if only because she was exhausted from just trying to stay awake long enough to stay alive. Still, she made efforts to push things back towards normal. 'Hi...' her weak voice managed to squeak out after several attempts, her eyes lazily following the voice she heard. The girl (...Mierci? no... Meirca...) spoke too fast for Almi to understand at the moment, so she just kinda laid back a little more.
Even with all the healing that had been done on her, Almi's breath was still shallow and labored slightly, and her exposed skin was sickly pale; color was returning to her face, but it would be a while before she regained her healthy-looking skin, if ever. Sweat dotted her body, and soaked her garment slightly, which she had just come to realize that they were not her own. It was probably best that way, as hers were most likely dirty and torn, not to mention stinky...
Forcing herself to look back to Meirca, she stated "I'm sorry... I must... look terrible... What time... no, what day is it?..."

The little Elf plopped down cross-legged by Almi's bed. "You look kind sick, but you're still pretty. You weren't sleepin' too long though, it's actually the same day. All these Elf-people seem to be good at healing, a lot better than me anyway."
Mierca tilted her head. "Want me to try to getcha something? I'm not sure whats going on, so I'm trying to do stuff until someone will explain stuff to me..."

Roxy ignored the offer of something for her head, waving them off, after hearing that Hades was Reinos great-grandfather... well nothing was going to cure that headache.

Fighting back sleep, Almi blushed when she was called pretty. Didn't she still look like a train wreck? Or... wait. Did she say 'elf-people'? Just where the heck did they end up at?? For now, she ignored the last bit and said "Not really... everything still kinda... hurts, still.
Managing through some miracle to move her arm a bit as she pointed out the door, she asked "So whats with all the commotion out there anyhow?" Of course, the arm immediately dropped, but she could feel herself coming about. The impact against the side of the bed stung a bit to her surprise, but other than that there wasn't much pain at all from it. Which probably meant that everything would be even sorer later on.

The child promptly put Almi's arm back on the bed, gently since she'd said she still hurt. "I dunno. A lady came, I think she'd the queen elf, but Reinos don't seem to like her much. And she said something about his grandpa, and he didn't seem to like that either... Is your head okay? You were bleeding."

Reinos had no more patience for this. His friends were hurt and tired and this Queen was already trying to throw her wait around.
"Your Highness, if you will excuse me, I must attend to my friends," he said, hearing Mierca becoming a little hyper finding Almi awake.
Reinos turned his back on the Queen, but she ignored such a mark of disrespect.
He went by Roxy before going to almi to check on her.
"Hades will know if your mother is in the Underworld," he said in passing...

"I don't know..." Almi replied weakly, having not thought about that until now. "Well... my head does hurt a little... but iunno. My head's been ahurtin' since the day before yesterday... too much happening, all at once, and nothin' that... that..."
Tears welled up in her eyes as she pushed them back further and further, until she no longer had the strength to do so. Finally, those horrible tears slid down her cheeks, fueled by the one terrifying image that was still freshly stuck in her mind. Softly she cried, cried for the one whom had protected her for so long, and had been so cruelly taken from her... and, in a sense, for the mother she never got to know enough of. Even though there were friends all around her, she felt as though she were alone...
*I’m not sure about much of this part, and we lost so many of the original posts, so please tell me if something is off >.<*
High above the city, safely behind the high, thick walls surrounding the main palace complex, a single man sat on a terrace about mid-way up the imposing structure, calmly watching the chaos ensue below out of the corner of his eyes as the rest of his attention was diverted to the small screen sitting in his lap. Over and over, the same footage was played, and repeatedly he watched the two figures race past. After what had to be the hundredth time, the man switched the device into standby mode, taking another drag on the cigarette in his mouth, brushing away a stray hair as dark as raven feathers. ‘So… it was him…’ he thought to himself, ‘This could complicate things around here quite a bit. Especially if he was responsible for that incident a night or two ago.’
Sighing, he turned his attention back to the small screen, the glasses perched on the end of his nose almost threatening to fall off. Taking a moment, he flipped through a few more pages, watching several other lengths of footage, before one in particular caught his eye, forcing him to raise an eyebrow; a young woman sporting long black hair with streaks of white amongst it, and a guitar? Now that sort of thing hadn’t been seen in a while. Unfortunately, just as her face was to be revealed, the camera spazzed out, revealing only snowy static afterward.
Lost in thought over this development, he almost didn’t hear nor feel the presence of another entering. However, Ignnis was not so easily snuck up on; closing down the program with lithe speed, he turned his head and spoke casually behind him, as though to a friend “Ah, Madam Sonanja! So good of you to visit humble old me. I hope you have been well as of late?” His eyes sparkled with the color of a field after a gentle rain, but carried the sharpness of a hawk, the eyes of one who seemingly trusted no one but himself. "I know it to be none of my business, but I trust that the recent... incidents are being taken care of, even as we speak?"
