Returning Home (Pasture)

[{Kaiji}]

(OOC: sorry miriel if it was your turn, but i is going to post Oh anf fifi im guessing they havent met)

"Yes, I do have an interest in flowers." Dai answered with a quick laugh afterwards. It did make him seem not as manly as he was. Although he thought he was, since he managed to become a Guardian so young. He looked over to the people walking out of the house. One of the men stood out. One who seemed equal but more powerful. "Yes. It is me. Good to finally meet you Raphael." He said with a smile. It was true, plus it was his first encounter with another Guardian. But he was glad that he didn't meet Axel yet. That would not have been good for him.

[apollo]

((that's fine ))

Apollo got up from the chair and followed behind raphael. A man sat looking at flowers. "how strange." But he couldn't blame him. Apollo, wielding earth powers, had a strong attaction for anything that was made on earth. But he couldn't say he was..wel that attracted to flowers. His blue gaze drifted over the flower bed. It was very carefully tended any many of the flowers would have a hard time growing in the climate, unless they had a lot of attention.

Moving out of the dark doorway he walked over beside Ebony and listed. So this guy was a guardian of his species, how interesting. He seemed polite enough. Looking at Ebony Apollo murmured to her, "I didn't know you gardened. You seem to have quite the green thumb." He smiled lightl to her and turned his attention back to Dai and Raphael. His talk to Ebony had been quiet enough for only her to hear.

[ebony]

Ebony giggled quietly and whispered back, "I'm sure you have quite the gardening talent yourself, considering your earthly alignments." She hoped he wouldn't question the fact that she was able to guess that without her telling him. She had just been around so many people of different elements that it was easy to tell. Having a Guardian for a father meant alot of traveling. She really didn't have the stamina to explain all of that; she had done it multiple times for many people.

Raphael nodded, seeming pleased. "I had heard about your appointment to the position by the Council, but we never really had a chance to meet." He heard the soft sound of his daughter giggling and sustained the urge to throw Apollo into the middle of next week. It was his natural fatherly nature. He nonchalantly placed a hand on her shoulder protectively, trying not to make anything obvious. He noticed her glancing up at him with exasperation, and grudgingly he released his hold. "You have been taking quite good care of these flowers, which is especially hard with the constant sun out here."

Ebony smiled up at her father. "Well, it wasn't all me. Dai here revived them." She grinned widely at Dai. He was very friendly and polite, something that seemed to be uncommon these days

[{Kaiji}]

Dai didn't hear what the other man had said. For some reason Ebony giggled, probably because of what he said. Dai looked back over at Raphael. "I was hoping to meet another Guardian soon. Being so young and so powerful is a little much. But I can handle it." Dai grinned a little. It was natural for a Wizard to be able to revive plants. It was just a kind of variation of a plant controlling spell. "Well, Wizards can do a lot of stuff. Plus it's nice to help people out." He said.

[apollo]

Apollo raised his eyebrows at her accuracy and whispered to her. "And you are a lady of hidden talents." He sensed that she didn't want to be asked about it. So he let it lie. He noticed Raphael's gesture as he put his arm on Ebony's shoulder, but Apollo didn't mind. Of course it was Raphael doing what Fathers do. But Apollo wasn't going to move, after all Fathers had to eventually step down and allow their daughter to follow her heart. His eyes wandered to Dai. So he was a guardian of his kind, how interesting. Apollo had always wondered what it would be like to be a guardian, but he wasn't sure he wanted to even be one. Especially after all that Axel had been through. Dai did seem young to be a guardian, but then again guardians of all sorts were needed badly, so young guardians were probably going to be seen more and more as time went on.

[ebony]

Ebony's face reddened slightly as his breath brushed against her ear. She felt so comfortable near him that it was strange. He seemed to have such a calmness about him that it relaxed her as well. She also had taken a liking to this Dai. He seemed kind and wasn't pompous about being a young guardian. Everything seemed to be falling into place. Her father was home, and she was surrounded by wonderful people. The only thing that could disturb this was if her father decided he had to leave her again. She didn't know what she would do if that happened, even though she knew it was inevitable.

Raphael nodded in agreement."Yes, guardians seem to be in a younger age range these days. I suppose the need is becoming greater." He was beginning to get frustrated about the constant whispering between his daughter and this suitor. He knew they liked each other, but they didn't have to have these constant displays of affection. Didn't that boy know anything about fathers?

[{Kaiji}]

Dai nodded. "As far as I know there are only three, possibly four of us." He said. He noticed Raphael's frustration. The whispering he heard was probably Ebony and the other man. Apparently they had a little thing going on with each other. "Sorry for not introducing myself to you," He said to the other guy, "I'm Dai." His eyes went to his staff for a moment. 'I swear I saw that glow...' He thought. He had no idea what that meant, it never happened before. Hopefully it wasn't bad. Suddenly another thought popped into his mind. He was wondering why Raphael was there.

[masterrokku6]

Rokkusannu, in her cat form with her fan in her teeth walked all the way to the life lands. I could get used to this, she thought. She then shifted back into her normal self. She grabbed her fan off of her mouth and placed it in her hand. She soon started fanning herself as she kept walking. She then saw an elf talking. I sense a Gaurdian here! she thought. She soon walked in and said, "hello."

[ebony]

Ebony smiled at Dai's introduction, replying, "Nice to meet you, Dai. I'm Ebony, and this is Apollo," she added, gesturing back to him. A sudden appearance of a stranger caught her attention and her head whipped around in the direction of the quiet "hello." Someone with a flicking fan was standing off from the rest of them. She wanted to return the greeting, but she wasn't sure who this was or what they would do if she did.

Raphael also looked over in the direction of the greeting, seeing a familiar face. "Yes, hello. What brings you here?" he asked in a friendly tone. He couldn't quite put his finger on where he knew her from, but he seemed to remember past gatherings and seeing her face. She must be some sort of Guardian. That did, however, remind him of the pulse of energy he had felt earlier. He wanted to trace it, but he didn't want to leave at the same time.

[scarlet]

too lazy and if i don't get off of the computer, my brother will kill me)
Rokkusannu was right. She had sensed a Gaurdian here. "I thought I have sensed a Gaurdian or two here. I was right about one. Oh you must be Raphael, the Gaurdian of Life. My name is Rokkusanu, the Gaurdian of the Witch and Warlocks," she told him. She stopped fanning herself and closed it. I have gotten the chance to see the two Gaurdians of Life and Death, but I would love to see other Gaurdians, she thought. (Rokku's color code is red)

[raphael]

"Ah, yes, Rokkusanu. I do remember you now." It seemed as though every Guardian out there was flocking to this place, that is, except for Axel. He figured Axel was off doing bad things like the brat that he was, or slacking off and taking a nap somewhere. Now, now, Raphael, he thought to himself. It's not your place to judge. And you're not his father. His curiousity was still biting at him about what had happened earlier. He just hoped Axel hadn't done anything reckless and stupid. That could be bad for all of them, considering that Axel took recklessness and stupidity to a higher level.

You're judging again, his conscience scolded. This time, however, Raphael just ignored it, content to fume over Axel's many flawed aspects. Then again, he did suppose he had a few quirks of his own. Plus he had to keep his mind focused on Apollo and be ready to strike at any moment if he got too friendly towards Ebony for his liking. Like a panther, quietly observing its prey, he thought with a smirk.

[masterrokku6]

Rokkusannu raised her eyebrow. She then chuckled. "You remember me now. Okay then," she told him. "Sorry for interupting you. I have traveled from the Death Lands and ended up meeting Axel. I said hi, he then judged me just because I gave to charity," she told Raphael. She rubbed her neck and blinked. How I wish to put something in Axel's mind, she thought. No one messes with me. No one,

"Is there a place where I can rest?' she asked him. She can just shape-shift into a cat and just sleep.

[apollo]

Apollo grinned down at Ebony for a moment as his arm around her waist and looked at Dai, “Nice to meet you! It’s good to see a guardian again.” His deep blue eyes looked at Dai with curiosity. He seemed nice, which was a great trait for a guardian. “What brings you down her Dai?” And then he turned to the other guardian and smiled slightly. So many people here and they all seemed to come here at once. “Do you usually get this many visitors?” He asked quietly to Ebony. “If they keep coming we may haveto pick more berries.” he smiled gently.

[Miss Fifi]

Raphael was now glaring fiercely at Apollo, just managing to spit out, "Yes, sure. There is a couch on which you can sleep if you wish. Just go through that door." He pointed absentmindedly towards his house. He couldn't take much more of this. It was just all too much for one time. His glare never leaving Apollo, he said, "I think I'm going to take a walk." He saw Ebony begin to protest, but he silenced her with an angry glance. He turned on his heel and stalked off in the other direction without another word.

Ebony watched her father go with a crushed expression on her face. How could he just leave like that, after just returning? "It's my fault... I shouldn't have brought you here, especially with him just returning. I'm sorry, Apollo." She rose slowly, gently removing herself from his arm. She looked over at the girl who had just morphed into a cat. "Here, follow me. I'll show you in." With a guilty glance back at Apollo, she turned and began to walk back towards the house. She was too upset to stay out there with everyone else. She just wanted to rest. Her father's reaction hit her like a ton of bricks.

[leola]

Rokkusannu nodded in thanks. She shifted into her animal form with her Fan in her teeth. She leaped onto the couch and slept. She then had heard Raphael leaving. Sounds like he's pissed! she thought. Her heart beginning at ease, knowing everything will be all right. Huh. Yeah right. If Axel doesn't get angry again, she thought, knowing everyone knows that. Her thick black fur was glimmering as she had slept.

Leola flew through the Light lands, feeling happy and not feeling lonely at all. I sure would use some company though! she smiled at the thought. The glittering water made her feel at peace. She then stopped and looked around. No one's here. I can't see a house anywhere, she tilted her head. She then went on flying. Before she noticed, she accidently bumped into an someone. Uh oh. I'm in trouble if this person's mad at me. She looked up. "I'm sorry! I wasn't looking!" she apologized.
