*Jason flies to where the black citadel was, and lands next to Carver's corpse.*
*He says a short prayer, and picks up his sniper.*
*Then flies back to his base.*

*Morgan growls then sighs*
Morgan: Come on in...

*Morgan is standing over Gharn, rubbing his jaw*
*Gharn has knelt before Morgan and is bowing his head*
Gharn: I have struck a Elder, I will accept what punishment you see fit Lord.
*Morgan frowns*
Morgan: What? No, no punishment. You were right, I was being a jerk...
*He looks at his sister who is passed out on a sofa near Scatty's unconscious form*

Morgan: C'mon Gharn, get up. I'm not better than you.
*He offers Gharn a hand and the Werelord takes it*
Gharn: That is where you are mistaken. You are much better than me, you have powers I will never have.
*Morgan looks embarrassed by Gharn's simple statement*
Morgan: Don't say that... I mean... if you're gonna stay with Dria you need to be made Immortal so that you can... y'know, actually stay with her... That'll get you some powers... Besides! You can transform into a fething Werelion! How awesome is that?!
*Gharn smiles sheepishly*
Gharn: I suppose it is kinda cool...
*They both then turn to Maril*
Morgan: Oh, hey... It's my parents, they left. Said they wanted to go help, but they left me and Gharn here! We could help too!

*Marilania blinks slightly at events*

What... Ok..
For one Gharn your no lesser than anyone here.. Technically I'm just a Martian... No elder. No powers. Just Martian.

You guys thought Dira, she was hurt when you where gone . Gharn, you two need each other and she needs help, she was taking it rough when we where camped in forest. Scatty too, she needs protecting right now.

Come on, your basically brothers right?

*Gharn frowns at Maril*
Gharn: But you are a princess...

*Morgan and Gharn exchange glances at the 'brothers' comment*
Morgan: I mean...
Gharn: I suppose. I mean Dria is my mate, so that makes us kin, even if not by blood


*Horus nods*
Horus; A mercenary who specializes in demons?

*Nero nods*
N: We only get contracts for Devils, but you can call us mercenaries.
*closes his Devil Bringer around the necklace and sighs*
N: Some of us don't care about the money, we just like to kill Devils. Even if it puts us in debt.
*last comment comes off somewhat bitterly*

*Wade sighs*
DP: It's gonna be awhile before I get my collection back. And my ugly mug is why I can handle my healing, y'know. Every thorn has it's rose.

*A spectral hand bursts through the rubble of the cave, and slowly starts digging away at the debris*
*Maiev is still alive, and still crying at the death of Kara*
*After the Avatar of Vengeance finishes clearing out some space for them to escape, it waits patiently for Maiev to finish*

*Marinalia*
Yep.. I'm a Princess. I'm still get no special powers. I just age slower and don,t mind heat. I do well in deserts.

You called people aunt yet not related, I was cousin... But I changed that a tad. *smiles* the rooms a knida strange family at times. Santiago, many others ain't even from this universe!

Just hug, shake hands. Your friends.

...

*Marla*
Well ... Don,t you time travel? I mean you could bag them from a some other...you.
Might have to fight you for your own cut outs....

*Maria*
Handle, well being impossible to kill seems to work for you.
Met lady pool once, by the emperor you'd go crazy working that out...

*Horus nods*
Horus: Devils only? You never do anything else?


*Thoth walks on silently*


*Again, if Calluna is on the planet she feels the intense emotion from Maiev as it's probably still super powerful*


*Gharn shrugs*
Gharn: I suppose so, and you are only human after all.


*Morgan looks a bit awkward*
Morgan: You were never a cousin.. .that's just freaky... you've always just been a friend, until a few days ago that is.
*Smiles slightly and shakes Gharn's hand*
Morgan: Alright... Still ,we need to find mum and dad! We can't just lay around doing nothing!
*Gharn nods*
Gharn: I agree

*Marinalia smiles*
Martian.. I speak 4 languages. , its my home.

Is that a formal declaration mr Morgan?
*teases slightly and hugs them both*

You might want to find help.. And Dira? Not saying stay, just have a plan , some people rely on you two.

*Nero shakes his head*
N: Not for business. Was never really cut out for a job as an attorney. But we do have lives outside of devil killing. My uncle either spends the money he doesn't have on pizza or sundaes, or gambles.

*A fair woman that consists of a transparent, white glow appears next to Maiev, the same one that first appeared when Kara, Maiev, Horus, and Boran went to investigate the cave*
*for now, she stands there silently*

*Horus blinks*
Horus: Pizza and Sundaes? I think my wife would get along well with your Uncle...


*Gharn is rather awkward as he's hugged as he doesn't consider himself that close to Maril*

*Morgan accepts the hug and adds a kiss to it*
Morgan: I'm not saying we should just rush out there,but that seems to be what my parents did! We need to find them and bring them back if we can!

*Nero smirks*
N: Most people do. Even if not right away.
*looks down at the necklace for a moment, then back up at Horus*
N: I kicked him the face when I first met him. And uh, impaled him on his own sword. It's a long story.

*Jason lands on one of the towers of his base, and walks into his sanctum*
*His armor disintegrates from his body, and he slowly shifts to his former self.*
*George sits in his sanctum, and gives him a data pad with all the recent events that have transpired.*
*Jason looks grim as he looks through the data pad, not really satisfied with the outcome of the cave.*
George: I believe we have a "ghoul" here as well, a child no less...
*Jason sighs.*
Jason: Great.

*Marilania smiles and returns with intrest letting go of gharn first because awkward for everyone*

They kinda did... Not the wisest move for thousands year old beings...
Best guess...track Morri... She has to leave foot prints unlike cal. Can cal fly with Morri too?

Gharn, guess we gonna have to get on being we dating in the same family.. Least I'm friendly!

...

*Marla heads up a for some air and sits on a crate*
*plays with her necklace without thinking and runs finger over a little message cut into the metal part*
*sits thinking quietly and enjoys avit of time to self*

*Morgan shakes his head*
Morgan: No, mum would be too heavy. Winged Elders often have hollow bones like a bird, it let's them fly better. She'd have to walk.
*Gharn nods*
Gharn: I can track her. But there's still dangers out there. It would be unwise for us to go, we need some firepower. If Jake or Ho-Khazet Denny would be willing to come.
*Morgan nods thoughtfully*
Morgan: Even one of the assassins could be helpful, if not entirely trustworthy. I mean, they don't trust us for gak.
*He turns to address the wall*
Morgan: Isn't that right?


*Horus shrugs*
Horus: Perhaps. I was never one for ice cream though, by the time it was invented I already had my beak and it makes it all tingly. Sort of like when your leg falls asleep. I don't know, I just don't much like it.
*He looks down at Nero and raises a eyebrow*
Horus: Hm, seems like a very long story. Perhaps I'll have to hear it sometime

*Nero frowns slightly*
N: When it was inven- how old are you?

*Horus frowns, thinking for a moment*
Horus: Abouuuut... 68,000. I think.

*Thoth pipes up*
Thoth: You were born in 26,372 B.C. I remember that day, it was particularly-

Horus: Yes, yes, thank you Thoth. But yes, I'm very old by human standards. I've seen humanity develop over the millennia, even helped it sometimes

*Nero raises an eyebrow*
N: Impressive. Can't say I know anything as old as you, except Devils. You even beat Sanctus, and that guy coughed up dust.

*Horus shrugs*
Horus: Some say my species is older than time itself. I don't believe that, but by my best guess, my father is nearly as old as the earth itself. Easily over a billion years old... Anyways, I'm still young physically. Probably equal to about 22-23 in human years.
*Says the word 'father' with obvious hatred*

*Thoth sighs*
Thoth: Yes, I admit Horus I envy you. Such a life ahead of you. I shall probably be gone within the next hundred millennia or so... Such is old age...

*Nero looks between Thoth and Horus*
N: Might as well enjoy your short hundred millennia while you can, gramps.
*notices Horus anger*
N: Got a bad family history?

*Marinalia*
Aye.. Agreed. You need some help. Maybe ask Iris for some advice or to keep a eye on Scatty., Billy and black hawk are about. There's options. Even maybe wade or others you might not think of at first.

I can fly, gah, make mobility far easier..

I better thank Iris for her advice and get some rest. Night Gharn.
*smiles and hugs Morgan*
*switches to Martian to maybe make gahrn less uncomfortable *
I'm a lucky Princess. Love you.

*heads off, thanks Iris for her advice and goes to bed*

...

*Marla spends a while up getting some air quietly and goes inside a while later. *

...

*Furia as has no room grunts and lies down on floor using her fur cloak for comfort*

...

Ooc night folks. Rather tired as a early start with interviews and all.

*Thoth nods*
Thoth: There is still so much to know! And now my secondary lab is destroyed! Not to mention my daughter taken! All by insufferable demons!
*Thoth has just made himself very angry*

*Horus looks over his shoulder at Thoth, never having seen him this upset. He makes a note to try to help Thoth find his daughter then looks down at Nero*
Horus: You could say that. My father is...Evil in it's utmost form. Among the few things he's done is kill my sister and take my wife prisoner for 50,000 years



*Gharn nods*
Gharn: I will find the humans. Morgan, do you think Iris would be good advice?
*Morgan hugs and kisses Maril again and responds also in martian then turns to Gharn*
Morgan: I... I don't know. I think Uncle Billy would be a better help. He's had more experience in fighting
*He looks at Scatty and sighs*
Morgan: I just wish Scatty was awake...

*Nero shakes his head*
N: You guys have some serious issues. I thought I had it bad as a kid.

*Horus grunts and nods*

*Thoth quickly steps into explain how Osiris wishes to put a end to Elders and anything else that might pose a threat to his power, then rule the galaxy*
Thoth: If I might be so bold as to make a popculture reference, his desires are much the same as the likes of Emperor Palpatine from the Star Wars Saga. A power hungry, genocidal megalomaniac.

*Horus grunts and nods again*
Horus: Father of the fething year huh?

*Nero shakes his head*
N: You guys have some serious issues.
*sighs*
N: Was he ever, you know, not a douche?

*Horus shrugged*
Horus: There was a time when he was merely cold, but I learned later it was just a act.
*Thoth nods*
Thoth: Osiris and his wife Isis posed as Elders for millennia, until finally they were able to enact a plan to destroy our city, Danu Talis, more commonly remembered as Atlantis. He intended for our kind to be destroyed in the cataclysm, but due to the actions of the Silver and Gold many of us survived. Alas... many were lost... but at least the Earthlords were not truly victorious that day.
*Thoth shrugs*
Thoth: We thought them dead until not long ago. Now we know they're dead.
*Horus's fists clench with the strength to crush boulders*
Horus: Good riddance to the Evil scum, I'm glad I'm the last. Now there can't be any more.

*Maiev eventually looks up at the woman, with a half-blank, half- "I am going to murder you just so I might feel better" look*
*She radiates vengeance and hate, so much that the aura is slightly visible*
*The Avatar starts moving towards the woman*

~

*Calluna is asleep, cause she was put under a sleep spell, which I said before.*

*Nero shakes his head*
N: After everything I've seen, there's no race or species that's inherently evil. I mean, even a Devil may cry.

*the figure, Andraste, simply raises her hand*
She denied heaven. The Maker's greatest gift, and she denied it.

*I was implying Maiev's emotions were so strong that the spell put on the little empath was broken and she was awoken by them, but whatevs*


*Horus snorts in derision*
Horus: So far as we know, I'm the only exception, the only one not bent on genocide.

*Nero shrugs*
N: First for everything. But I'm not going to argue with you about it.
*sighs and pockets his necklace*
N: Your elders, how do they treat humans?
