Welcome to Gaia! ::

(I apologize for my absence this weekend boys but I was out of town for a while.

The ´presence of evil´ as I have decided to call it, can block your digi-vices, which in turn means that it can block all digital energy. Your digimon can not digivolve; Not because your digivices are out of power, but because the digital energy used for digivolving is blocked entirely- no matter how pure and heroic your heart is. I will also add that it would be impossible to open a portal when there is no power to fuel the digivice or the gate itself.)

Sarah let out a shrill yelp of surprise when the door opened rather suddenly and she found herself staring into the very irritated princes eyes. The pale computer hacker backed off immediately, her hair surrounding her face like a veil of black as she stared up at the taller Prince. The tamer let out an embarrassed “E..ehm..” green eyes darting from left to right until they fell on the red haired girl in Richters chamber.
Sarah seemed to draw strength from the sigh of the oldest royal and took a deep breath, letting it out again with a faint murmur that sounded suspiciously like ´why me´.
When the girl looked up to meet Richter’s eyes once more her voice carried a braver note even though she was -quite clearly- not exactly happy to be a lowly dark tamer standing all alone in the hallway of a royal suite
“Joe and the others are waiting for you by the lake”

Kaya moved loser, leaving the window as she strolled trough the room
“Joe? At the lake?”
Her amber eyes gazed into the other girls green emerald orbs with a clear question in their depths.
The dark haired tamer looked down again with a sheepish shrug
“Joe and Richter planned a battle down by Dragon Eye lake”
Kaya´s lips pulled back in a silent frown as she contemplated this
“I see..”
She turned to Richters and there was.. something.. in her eyes, but she covered the emotion up much too quickly for Richter to guess what it was
“Well, I would love to tag along and watch you guys fight but I´m afraid I cant while Draco is in the castle, he´s my guest after all”


The vampire shrugged, as if he didn’t really care what Draco did to the boy, and left his comfortable chair and book as he walked towards one of the bookcases, eyes narrowing slightly as he read the titles carefully
"Well knows and knows... I suspect he has clues. The child has never been there himself but most of the mixed blooded were found and taken care of by Sulaimon for a short period of time. They served as his adoptive children during his 500´th year since his own were all adults by then"
The undead Lord paused briefly and pulled out a book with a dusty, green covers and worn yellow pages
“Here we are, the mixed blooded children”
The vampire opened the book and turned a few pages, glancing at the boy hanging like a sack of potatoes over Draco´s shoulder until a faint satisfied light appeared in the demons pale blue eyes
“Here he is… Hmm… Disappeared quite a while ago, one of the youngest children… Potential for..”
Myotismon turned another page, nodding softly to himself as he read the blurred text
“..Dragon and canine, interesting. Bonds by touch, starter form Gabumon and Dracomon depending on the bonded”
Both Gatomon and Angemon started when the book shut itself with a loud ´smack´

"Right." Richter said, a grin already forming on his face. He was glad now that there was a ledge right outside his door. Since his room was so high up, it was ideal for freefalling.

He intended to do just that. Releasing Dynasmon from his digivice, he sprinted from the door, and leaped from the ledge, freefalling for about fifty feet before landing on Dynasmon's back, flying off into the distance towards Dragon Eye Lake.

((Oh the second digivice thing bothered you? I apologize then, but Viper would be able to feel it seeing as she lives off digital energy.. Anyways, let´s forget that and get on with the adventure))

The female voice let out a final hiss and before Kaz or Toan had time to wonder what the strange Latin words spilling from the woman’s lips were, the fog winked out of existence as if it had never been there at all. The air was warmer and fresher with only the faintest taste of sea salt carried on the soft breeze.
The ground beneath them was pure rock with white ivory pebbles to indicate the path the two tamers had followed before the darkness claimed them.
The two young men´s gaze went to the giant pillars enfolded in metallic coils of plating and flesh before them, as big as trees and framing a gigantic gate as black as the night itself. The ceiling was far above them, nothing but a distant sky held up by the mountain like walls to the left and right of the tamers. Giant statues decorated the massive hall, roaring dragon like digimons cut out of rock and stone watched with withheld breath as the tamers approached the castles gate and for a short moment, one of the statues turned it´s head towards the humans before it froze once more. Somewhere in the shadows behind them, still caught in the fog that seemed to pulsate with barely reined energy, a deep voice emitted a guttural growl that filled the air with a heavy stench of rotten flesh and death.
A metallic sound of iron on rock forced it´s way through the hall and filled the room like a wail of pain in the chocking silence and the coils around the two pillars moved, weaved it´s way down until a massive head, hidden under armor plating and golden armor, came into view. Metalseadramon uncoiled itself from the marble trees, twisting and turning until it´s shinning blood colored eyes could be seen in the sparse light, gleaming like twin rubies in darkness. The beings breath ghosted across the two human´s skin as he bowed his slender snake like body down, scenting Toan and Kaz before he turned his head and lowered his front to the rocky ground where he could look at the humans with one reptilian crimson eye. The mega levels black pupils dilated at the sight of the two boys, taking in every detail and stain on the humans, measuring them like a cobra would it´s prey. The serpent huffed; dust and dirt was blown up into the air from that simple act and fell to the ground again in a shimmer of dark rain. The snake’s body scratched the surface of the midnight black marble pillar, creating sparks that flickered and died out within seconds like fireflies as he moved even closer, opening and closing his powerful jaws in silent contemplation as he turned one ruby eye to the demon digimon next to the dark clad human boy. Metalseadramon growled softly, a deep rumble that seeped into the tamers bones and ached like a disease gnawing it´s way out from within.
It took a second or two before they realized that the serpent was laughing as he looked at the demon digimon standing a few paces away from Toan
“Palmon will be pleased to see you again young demon. You may enter”
Metalseadramons body withdrew, coiling around the pillars once more as the black gate opened, a sharp blinding light crashed into the room like a tsunami of white in the black.
A LadyDevimon stood in the center of the door as it opened, cold eyes locked on the little group standing in front of the black doors as she huffed in irritation
“You would think we were having an open house week or something, all these guests”
The white haired digimon bowed briefly and spoke with a voice that was heavy with practiced fake politeness… after pulling a white clipboard and a feathered pink ballpoint pen out of seemingly nowhere
“Greetings masters and welcome to our castle, my name is Sandra, a LadyDevimon, owned by Barbamons servant Christina of New Zealand, it is a pleasure to meet you bla.bla-bla..boring stuff… You guys get the point”
The groups gazed wandered from the womanly figure to the area behind her, several small and big gold and crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling and below them, on the polished white marble floor, was a giant round beige carpet with silver leaves woven into the fabric. Giant paintings of the demon lords and royals hung on the eastern wall and at the end of the room was a staircase with red silk build like the one kings used in the old days.

The demonic woman’s eyes wandered from the top of the clipboard to the bottom with a bored expression
“I´m gonna ask you two some questions and then show you around… Ha, I can’t believe I have to babysit two bloody tourists!”
The black clad woman ran a hand trough her hair, eyeing Astamon as if she had not seen the digimon until that precise moment. The female devimons eyes wandered from the other demons head to his boots and back again with an appreciative smirk
“Why hello handsome..”
After sending the gun carrying digimon a flirty grin her eyes returned to the paper in her hands once more and she placed the tip of the ridiculous pink ´Barbie Princess´ pen on it after flicking her hair over her shoulder
“Okay, listen carefully cause I am NOT going to repeat myself, okay!?
Question A: What is the point of your visit
Question B: How many digimons are you brining into the castle and which
Question C: Are any of you allergic to any kinds of food
Question D: Since none of you work for the Viral Empire we need to know what organization you work for..”
The lady eyed Kaz with a smirk and wrote something on the board
“I´ll just go ahead and write `Good little scout boy´ for you honey, Viper send her regards… Now where was I? Oh yes! Question E: Do you know anyone in the castle and do you accept that should you not know anyone in the castle and not be under a royal or servants protection any digimon or tamer within the castle may attack with no notice and finally; Do you accept that should either of you turn out to be predestined to be a servant of the demon lords or dark lords you will be taken prisoner and tortured to hell and back until you say yes?”
LadyDevimon looked up, pen tapping against the paper while she clicked her high heeled boots against the floor, body literally vibrating with impatience
“Well? I haven’t got all day you now”




Myotismon placed the little red book on the shelf and turned to walk towards the open door leading out of the library. Angemon caressed the vampires shoulder briefly with one of his massive feathered wings as the blue skinned digimon passed by and followed soon after, murmuring a soft goodbye as he left Theresa and Draco alone in the library. The door closed with a soft click as he left.
Theresa snickered softly as she moved from the doorway to Draco, staring down at the little bond boy on the floor with unreadable blue eyes.
“He´s exhausted, but waking him shouldn’t be too difficult”
The cat shifted and then used a trick as old as time itself to wake up the slumbering boy.
She held up a gloved paw and batted at the boys face, hitting his soft cheek with a resounding smack that jolted the half human into immediate action.
The boys blue eyes opened and he curled up immediately, seeking refugee from the pain in his own arms.
It seemed.. out of place to watch such a resigned and horrified expression on someone so young
“Please, please, Mio will be good, please..”
The young child’s voice was high and terrified, shaking as much as his shivering body on the carpet.
Theresa drew back with a hiss, eyes shimmering with worry as she watched tears fall from the boys eyes.
“Bugger…”
The feline turned her head to Draco, tipping it
The child´s skin gleamed in the light of the fire, the leave like tattoo on the side of his face shone for a moment, like liquid silver caught in moonlight, but it dimmed quickly and it left the boy looking like any other human child, scared, confused… alone.
Theresa could not stand it.
“Draco do something! I don’t know how to make human cubs stop crying!”

(That right im here to fix all your problems now let hurry up to the castle! draco been pissing me off and i really want to kick his a**)

Draco was off in his own world, not noticing Myotismon leaving or even hearing Theresa talking to him. In his mind he was standing on top of one of the peaks of File Mountain, staring over into the distance at the entrance to Suliamon's Mine. The Young Boy a little ahead, leading the way. And just for fun he had a beautiful women at his side. It was his fantasy world.
Draco was pulled back to reality when the boy started to cry. He sighed as he rubbed his temple. He stepped forward towards the young boy, placing his left hand on his head. He looked down at the boy, waiting for the boy to look up. "You know. Crying doesn't make a great first impression. Why don't you show your male pride." He was trying to imitate some of his heros in book and such.

(Enter Alter)

Above in the shadows of the cavern a sound could be hear, the sound of wings, thousands of wings, flapping. The source of the sound could soon be seen, it was bats, a cloud of bats. Were flying as a group, flying as one and heading towards the Castle in the center, converging on the front steps. The Bats were flying in a tight circle, not even light passing through them. After a moment the bats started to disperse, starting from the bottom up. Alter and GranDracmon appearing from them, Alter still holding onto his Piedmon's egg not wanting to let it go until it hatched once again. "Well GranDracmon. Lets move out." Alter said, stepping forward towards the main Entrance.

(( So many posts to respond to so little time XD ))

(Toan and Kaz))
The LadyDevimon snorted, waving her pink around in a wide gesture as she saw Toan´s annoyance at the hold up. Her hair bristled as if it had a will of it´s own
“Hey! Not my fault we have to go through all this rubbish, but we gotta know why the hell you’re here, would be stupid of us if we let a terrorist into out castle. We learned that the hard way after the Nagato fiasco”
The woman shivered, dainty black wings fluttering slightly behind her
“That was not a good day,.. anyways… Light of the digital world sounds like nasty business to me but I guess if Viper let you in and the big ol´ snake did too then who am I to argue. Normally you wouldn’t be allowed to set a foot here until I got more answers from top gun there..”
She waved the ghastly pen in Toans direction and the suddenly donned a very flirtatious smile
“But since you bring such ´pleasant´ company I´ll overlook those for now.. So!”
The demonic digimon placed both board and pen under one arm and turned on her heels, white hair cascading down her back at the sudden motion and was that pure imagination or did she stick out her butt just the tiniest bit for show? No matter what she did show curves rather vigorously, most certainly for Astamons sake, and the light from the countless chandeliers above made her tight leather suit shine in a way that was close to celestial. A true fallen angel.
Sandra walked towards what appeared to be a desk placed in the center of the room and placed the papers and pen there before she picked up two necklaces. Jewelry in hand the female demon wandered back to the humans and threw the two black objects at the boys. The two necklaces were very plain, mere leather straps with a grey rock in one end and a metal like lock in the other.
“Wear these at all times, good? Great. Now, what do you three want to do first? Guided tour?
An audience with Princess Kaya?”
The woman looked expectantly at the group, blood red eyes glittering with both maliciousness and good natured humor, which was unsettling somehow. Kaz´s keen eyes soon found something in the hall that did not belong there, a flowerpot.... and it was moving..

(Draco)
Theresa´s eyes widened slightly as she hissed at Draco for his thoughtless comment!
The boy however, didn’t seem to mind much, he actually stopped crying and looked up at the older boy with glassy blue eyes, body still trembling and breaths hitching every now and then in the aftermath but he seemed calmer
“Y-your real…. Not… A ghost?”
The tiny human figure shifted his gaze from the purple haired tamer to the area around him, it looked like his daddy Sulaimons study room, was he home again? Was he finally safe?
“Is.. Is daddy here? Please can I see daddy?”
Gatomon let out a soft breath and stepped forwards to rub her silky head against the boys shoulder, the younger boy flinched slightly but soon relaxed once more when the cat began purring soothingly
“Sorry honey, no daddy, just us”
The cats blue orbs met the boys and for a moment she was afraid that the cub would start crying again but instead of more tears the boy looked up at Draco and then promptly threw himself into the tamers arms, wrapping his slender arms and hands around Draco´s chest.
Theresa watched this with a shocked expression evident on her whisker clad face and she felt rather sorry for the older boy, kids were hard work, and having a kid (a half digimon one even) thrown into one’s life within the bat of an eye and then having him practically sit on your lap with his face buried in your chest?. ….ehm… *cough* -- awkward..?


(Alter)
The air was warm and fresh with only the faintest taste of sea salt carried on the soft breeze when Alter, Grandracmon and the yet born Piedmon arrived in the hall that lead to the main gate.
The ground beneath them was pure rock with white ivory pebbles to indicate the path that lead to two giant pillars enfolded in metallic coils of plating and flesh before them, as big as trees and framing a gigantic gate as black as the night itself. The ceiling was far above them, nothing but a distant sky held up by the mountain like walls to the left and right of the tamers, even GranDracmon was small when compared to the vastness of it and his height considered that was rather extraordinary. Giant statues decorated the massive hall, roaring dragon like digimons cut out of rock and stone watched with withheld breath as the tamer and his followers approached the castles gate. Some of the statues moved just enough to bow in respects as the strong demon digimon walked by them. A metallic sound of iron on rock forced it´s way through the hall and filled the room like a wail of pain in the chocking silence and the coils around the two pillars moved, weaved it´s way down until a massive head, hidden under armor plating and golden armor, came into view. Metalseadramon uncoiled itself from the marble trees, twisting and turning until it´s shinning blood colored eyes could be seen in the sparse light, gleaming like twin rubies in darkness. The beings lifted it´s head high, staring down at the mighty demon digimon and the human who had appeared like a Myotismon, in a flutter of dark bat like wings. The mega levels black pupils dilated at the sight of the trio taking in every detail and stain on the humans, measuring them like a cobra would it´s prey. The snake’s body scratched the surface of the midnight black marble pillar, creating sparks that flickered and died out within seconds like fireflies as he tightened his grip on the pillars
“I do not recognize your scent human, but you travel with a strong demon at your side.. Who are you? Why do you seek entrance to this castle?”

(Pummel you are just far too good. We all love Roleplaying with you! ^_^)

Draco grinned as the boy stopped crying, he knew reading all that manga would help him out one day. He looked down at the child, letting him come to terms with the area around him. He blinked in surprise as the boy went to hug him, not expecting him to get so attached. He smiled lightly as he reached down as picked the power up in his right arm, holding him up letting him stay close. "So then. He seems fine." Draco said, turning back towards the boy. "Hi there. I am Draco. Pleased to meet you."

Alter looked around the under ground area, taking in little details. The ground was speckled with white, it seemed even the demons them selves were envious of the angels above them. The gate before him drawing his attention, it made him feel comforted, the colour was the same as the cell he stayed in most of the time. What mainly interested were the pillars and statues, they disgusted him to the core. The coils of flesh within them, as well as the statues of demons and monsters felt like an offense to Kami. He wanted to smash them himself, but he had to bind him time.
Alter looked up as he noticed the movement of the MetalSeadramon, this was going to be interesting. "Good evening. I am Alter Seversio." He said, stating the last name he had made up not long ago. "I am here to meet someone. I believe his name is Richter. Though he doesn't know about me, yet."

"That sounds like a good place to start."
Aiozen couldn't help but grin and allow the lady to lead him away. But as he was leaving, something in the back of his mind was warning him about leaving Toan alone. He took another look at Sandra, then at Toan, then at Sandra again and though ...Toan is a strong boy, he could take care of himself for a while.

"Astamon, Business before pleasure!"
Toan called to him as they walked away. Toan return his attention to Mira and could feel the depression and sadness she was emitting. He reach into his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief and use it to wipe away Mira tears.
"Hay, don't be so sad. How about we go meet some of your friends first?"
