((Oh. I didn't realize exactly what they did. My point was to try to keep him from getting at Kat (though I don't know where she is NOW...). It doesn't really matter. ))

(( *cough* rosebroken? yuya and elya are in the room where lotus is...the ball is in your court... *wink wink nudge nudge hint hint* XD))

((Sorry, I've been busy with stuff))
((Oh, hope you don't mind iPink, it's what you get for wanting instantanious results)) ^.^

Myst was barely conscious as she saw Elli step to the right of her. She couldn't lift her head nor speak, Elli had the wand out and readied it towards Abel. Myst wanted to tell her to stop but nothing came out. Too late, Elli released the magic within the wand... A dark globe enveloped Elli, Myst knew that inside that globe Elli was witnessing the desired effects of her magic, but in turn it was just a hallucination slowly draining her energy and recollection of her spells. Fighting against her pain, Myst managed to snap her last remaining bracelet, "I knew you'd do something stupid girl" She thought as she broke the enchantment. A stream of light penetrated the globe around Elli and slowly engulfed it.

Abel watched as the globe around the vampire changed colors and then exploded leaving the girl kneeling on the ground temporarily amnesiac.



Lotus's eyes snapped open as the two stepped into the room. The frozen lotus sensed the intruders and began to slowly hum with magical energy. Shadows leapt from the center of the lotus and surrounded it.

"De er ikke uvedkommende, ga tilbage." Lotus managed to say.

The shadows remained silent for several seconds and then spoke in unison.

"De har ladet udenforstaende i denne fristed, og de naermeste dod. De har ikke befojelse til at pakalde os som de er!"

Lotus planted his palms hard onto the floor and pushed himself up. Releasing his katana he leaned on it.

"Jeg sagde tilbage! Ikke sporgsmal mig selv i den medlemsstat, jeg gar!"

The shadows instantly coalesced and disappeared. The frozen lotus continued to hum.

((ah. that i understand XP))

Elya froze and grabbed Yuya by the arm. "I have no idea what he just said, or what replied to him, but I'll be damned if I--"

"Elya, chill," Yuya said, gently but firmly removing her hand from his sleeve. He started slowly forward. "Lotus? Are you all right?"

((Again sorry. ))


Lotus placed his hand on the front of his kimono feeling the blood soaking through. He turned to Elya and Yuya and smiled. "Not entirely..." The frozen lotus suddenly went quiet and Lotus turned around. A giant black shadow passed over them, leaving them in complete darkness.

The air around them changed as the shadow lifted revealing a darkened forest. They had been taken somewhere else, but Lotus couldn't tell where. The pain in his body was now gone and the blood removed from his clothes and skin.

"Hvad har De så gøre?" Lotus called out.

"Bevare mit slips til den fysiske verden, hvis man dør så jeg også gør. Min magt er alt for meget om deres organ stadig efter alle disse år ... Jeg vil give Dem den tid, de behøver at bruge det fuldt ud uden nogen bekymringer over deres krop bliver spist." The shadow voice rang out hollow in the air.

"Well now, this is a set back... It looks like we need to find out where exactly we are, and quite possibly when." Lotus said examining the looks on Elya and Yuya's confused faces.

((again, no problem--i got eaten by a research paper for three months or something and you stuck around for me XD))

((and what language do you type in that you have all those symbols easily accessable? XD))

"Where and qu--what?" Elya asked. " "And quite possibly when"?"

"Well, lost and confused or no, you look to be alive, at least," Yuya said, giving Lotus the once-over. "Next question--what about everyone who was in the library battling that demon? Are they still there? Or are they where they are at whatever time we ended up in?"

Elya looked around, her little dragon chittering loudly. "Could that have taken us through a Dimension Door into the Abyss, do you think?"

"Elya, what are you talking about?"

"I don't know where and when we are either, but I know at least that this isn't the Forest of Souls--or anywhere else on that isle, anywhere on the Eastern Isle, or in Kiliara's Domain," she said. "If it were Kiliara's Domain, everything would be purple. I've never seen it this dark anywhere. I sincerely doubt we're on the same plane that we were before."

((aha! clever, rosebroken! i can read what you're saying now!! hehe, Tei loves online translators....XD))

((The language is Danish, and I just copied those words with teh symbols because I have no idea how to input them myself.))

((I'm sorry I haven't posted anything for like a month, if not more. My timetable this year is hectic. ))

Relina was examining the diamond she found earlier when, to her surprise, she found a book that looked like it was meant to her. "How much do you know about your Teddy bear?" she read to herself. She took that book & pushed the other books nearby, dropping them on the ground, to make a room for her to sit on the shelf. She had the least respect for books & she never thought that any book would attract her attention as much as this one did. She kept reading the book & the more she read, the more attracted she became. She was so taken by what was written in the book, that she didn't notice that her friends have now left the library & are actually attacked by a demon. The fight's noise didn't even bother her.

After a while. Relina finally realised that she was all alone. She wanted to go on & read the book. But then, she might get stuck there till forever. She flew down the shelf.

"What am I gonna do? I'm so scared now."
She put the book in her backpack & turned herself into air.
"Well, I'm safer like that."

She set off in an attempt to find her friends, her Teddy & answers to her questions. She entered a door that led to a pool of blue liquid, obviously not water, surrounded by thrones. Little she knew aobut the place she went through. All she knew is that neither Lotus, nor the others were there. She decded to go back to the library, but then she saw four doors, two of which were locked. She thought that maybe she would find anyone there. She decided to go to the door on the right first, & so she did.

((I was confused about where you guys are now, & I'm a lil too lazy to read anymore. So, not to mess up with your plots, I made Relina go into another place ))

((It's ok, it seems we are all a bit busy this year lol, welcome back to our crazy adventure ^.^))

((Yeah, Tei, I don't like how it gets translated though... That last long one is changed so much.
Maintain my ties to the physical world, if you die so that I do. My power is too much on their body are still, after all these years ... I will give them the time, the need to use it fully without any concerns about their body being eaten... And for some reason, you gets translated to the or they... Hopefully, if you're going to try reading it, it's at least somewhat understandable.))

Myst opened her eyes, the pain in her body had suddenly subsided and her magic was flowing strongly thorugh her.

"LOTUS, hvad der skete? Hvor har de? Jeg kan ikke føle Dem længere..."

((ha ha, i've long since learned how to read stuff translated with online translators...you should see what happens why i try to read the blog of my favorite japanese musicians XD it's enough to get a general idea of what's happening. it makes more sense to me in convoluted/mistranslated english than in danish XD))
