((ooc: Was that....Shenba? Time to bring in the trio. ))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Celestial Palace~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Jandra approaches Gale's chambers, she can hear voices quarreling inside his room. Two women as a matter of fact.

Maiden 1: "Gale! You need rest!"

Gale: "I'm already healed! See?!"

Gale shows to the maidens that his wounds have all healed. And to prove his dexterity, he performs several somersualts in the air, landing and balancing himself on only his laetf hand atop the head of one of the statues. The maidens look up at Gale with narrowed eyes, showing their annoyance with his stubborness.

Gale: "I'm fine! Now let me go!"

Maiden 2: "Gale! if you don't come down and let us finish check you, i'm gonna thwapp you with a scepter!!"

Gale: "Ok! Ok! Fine!"

Gale then flips off of the statue and lands in a perched osition near the second maiden. As he stands, they check him over thuroughly and nod to each other.

Maiden 2: "Ok, Gale. You seem to be just fine, like you said. You are free to go now."

Gale: "I told you i was fine! But would you listen?! Noooo!"

Maiden 1: "Remember when you got hurt back in Rajeen? And you said you were ok?"

Gale: "Uhhmmm...Yeah?"

Maiden 1: "Then perhaps you remember that right after you said you were ok, you fell straight through that nice old wizard's floor becuase your eyes were still weak."

Gale lowers his head in silence and the maidens begin to chuckle at his forgetfulness. As he looks at them, he smiles and dresses hiomself in his Kinjite garments. Jandra enters the room with a smile on her face.

"I'm glad you're fine now. Gale. You had Thanatos and I worried very much.", she says as she pats him on the forehead. Gale chuckles back and they exit the room with a bow of respect to the maidens. As they leave, they traverse through the labyrinthine corridors of the Palace until they reach a massive cathedral. Jandra looks at Gale and informs him of their guest. "Grin is coming with us.", she informs.

Gale looks at Jandra with extatic eyes at the sound of his old friend's name. "Truly?" "Yes. He is most likely waiting for us in the cathedral's main hall." "Good. i look forward to seeing him again."

As they enter through the gates, they see Grin leanign against the colossal, golden doors. Grin stand a good 6'9''. He has spikey red hair and olive skin. He wears jet black leather armor and a long, body-length white mythril coat. The insignia of the black dragon, the crest of the Dark Knights, is imprinted on his back. His entire left arm is armored in red meteoric rock, carved and shaped into scaled armor plating. His right hand is coated in a plated blue gauntlet of the same material as his arm's armor. He looks at both Jandra and Gale through slanted, chocolate brown eyes. "Hello there! Long time, eh?" he says to the two Kinjite Blademasters.

Gale approaches Grin and shakes his hand. "It's good to see you again Grin. How are things in Lavian?" "Time in Lavian are quite peaceful. Just like anywhere in the Empire."

Jandra approaches Gale and smiles at him. "You know that there are only a small handful of multiverses that the Empire does not rule. And right now, they are in danger. I'm very glad Thantos has summoned you here."

"Yeah. He and I go waay back. Just like Kartzeh and I. But how are the rest of the Great Houses of Valencia? I'm sure the rest of the Emperors are as benevolent as ever."

Jandra smiles again and replies "Yes. They are well. They are preparing for the Time of Ragnarok. I'm sure they would have truly wanted to see you." Grin shakes his head and smiles back at jandra. "I understand completely. I'm sure that there will be plenty of time for us all to have some quality time after the wars are done. But for now, duty is duty.", he replies.

With a nod to each other, they enter the Cathedral and walk through its long hallways until they reach the grand altar room where a rotating Gateway of gold hovers above crystaline floors. All together, the two Kinjite and the Dark Knight enter the gateway, reappearing inside the constantly moving warpways of the wormhole.

As they travers through, they see the many orbs that represent the various realms to enter into. But they were trying their best to search for both Rhiyou and Danyael's spirit signatures. A golden orb shines amongst the rest and the three dash for it as the orb begins to suck them in.

Soon, they were insteandtly sent into a silver wormhole where a dim, pink light can be seen at the end. As they draw closer, they can see the tower in which the companions were inside of. but they couldn't seem to reach them. So another doorway opened and they dashed for the other, leading to the outside of the city of mars.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mars~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the sky above mars, the dust and sand whips up in a whirlwind as a gateway in the glouds opens up, shooting down a twirling pillar of purple and white energy. Three white flames shoot dwon to the bottom of the pillar and burn away as they reveal Jandra, Gale and Grin. As they exit the pillar, it snaps shut with a thunderous roar and they approach the entrance to the city that was apparently closed. Grin looks closer to the gate and hears and notices a body laying limp infront of it.

"What's that?!", he says, alerting Jandra and Gale. They bolt towards the body, not being able to discern who, or what exactly it is.


((ooc: i'm going to assume it's shenba since you said something about the hair...))


Gale looks down at the body and holds his hand above it's head. "Still alive!", immediately he rips off his cloak and wraps the body up in the red cloths. He then picks it up and holds it secure in his arms.

Jandra looks up to the guards at the top of the gate and calls out to them.


"Hey! We have a wounded causalty here! Open the gates and bring in a medical team!", she calls out to them.

Grin stands ready to defend the group if the inhabitants of this unknown realm were hostile. But he concealed the evidence of him being ready to make heads roll. He then added in Jandra's plea.

"C"mon! Hurry it up!! We don't know how much longer this one has! MOVE IT!"


((ooc: you heard 'em. MOVE! ))
