M.S. prosperus, big, freindly, but at the same time rather lonely. It's been a rough while for the nation, with everyone seemingly turning their backs, and when actually exerting some type of foreign policey, being criticized and punished for it. Not many nations out there with the same style that actually live on Earth or really give a care about a large Empire-Wannabe. M.S. had to look it's self, and it was still looking for its self. Now Her Royal Highness Empress Sakura Kinimoto has turned her attention to Ri-an, a more mythical nation out there. Many in the Imperial House thought it foolish to seek out Ri-an, it wasn't an Earth nation chances are it didn't have the same militant practices as M.S.

But Sakura is ever the optomist, she and her foreing ministers have put their foots down and their staff's high in the sky to seek the mysterious floating continent to arrange a pact between them.

Traders can bring rumors, sometimes strange, sometimes not. Trade with Earth bound nations brought a rumor of a magic nation on Earth, called Magic Sorcery.

This nation was being discussed Lightyears away on the Planet Ri-an.

The eventual decision was, to give them the chance to make contact, to see if they had the courage to talk to another nation like them, a nation deeply steeped in Magic.

Earth...

It flew high in the sky, borne upon the backs of the Spirits of the Air, atop a devestating Category 9 Hurricane, Lightning Flashing everywhere.

The Eight Master Sorcerers of Ri-an rode for Magic Sorcerery, its location found by traders plying the Seas. It flew slowly, leisurly. As it got closer, the great storm abated, and out on the Horizon, any from Magic Sorcery could Easily see the Continent.

With the Sorcerers was Deuce, the son of Lady Ri-an, and his mother, the Lady herself. Deuce was a Minor Chaos God, on the side of Good. Lady Ri-an was a Worldspirit, and the one who ripped the Flying Continent out of her own body, the world of Ri-an, and hurled it into the sky.

Also with them was the Aquamarinians, one white, the rest Dark Grey. As bodyguards, came a score of Gareens.

(so are you comming to me, or am I comming to you? I can change if needed)

"There it is." Sakura said, as she and her two ministers flew through the sky.

"I don't know," Said Madison Yuske "Looks like a Hurricane."

Co-Foreign Minister Miyuki Chinchiro interjected "I sense strong magic on that storm. I think Her Highness is correct about it. But we'll have to acend vertically, or otherwise, well..."

"Well what?" Asked Sakura

"We may just be at the pearly gates." Miyuki replied

"Or in the firey bottom." Madison joked. "Okay bad joke, bad joke."

"We may just be at the pearly gates." Miyuki replied

"Or in the firey bottom." Madison joked. "Okay bad joke, bad joke."

As the got closer, The storm stopped. The Magic Flying Continent of Ri-an waited for no one, and moved closer to them, and moved closer, and closer, until they were flying beneath the massive Continent. The Spirits of The Air swarmed around the two ministers, who suddenly found themselves above the Continent. Fierce Monsters roamed freely, and Mountains were getting closer. A Plateau was coming up. On it stood the Ri-anese.

The Continent altered its Altitude and decended somewhat, to allow the Ministers to simply end their flight and be standing upon the Continent.

But the Continent was so huge, it was at least the size of the Supercontinet Pangea, surely it must cast darkness over all of Magic Sorcerery. As though covered by a veil, The Flying Continent of Ri-an Disappeared from sight for those not on the Continent.

The Two Ministers however, were within the Veil of Invisiblity with the Ri-anese.

"Welcome dear Guests, to the Magic Flying Continent of Ri-an." said Lady Ri-an, whose hair was actually a Waterfall, eyes were as twin suns, skin was as the very ground beneath them, clothes were as a forest, and breath as sweet as a feild of wildflowers. Surely she most be the one who caused the Continent to fly.

"Thank you kind people. I am Empress Sakura Kinimoto, from Magic Sorcery, these are my ministers, Miyuki and Madison."

"I have heard through many methods, that you were, seeking me. Why?"

"We are in much need of a good freind. We are a tad lonely in the world, being a fairly large size, and peaceful Empire."

"We are in much need of a good freind. We are a tad lonely in the world, being a fairly large size, and peaceful Empire."

"Friendship, no matter how willing both parties may be, does not come easily. Your enemies would become our enemies, just as our enemies would become yours. This is simple truth. Therefore, let us begin, by getting to know each other a bit better. Let us then, tell each other a bit more about our nations. however, I will not ask you to do something, I would not be willing to do myself. a little bit at a time.

We come from many Lightyears away, in Andromeda. I am the spirit of an entire world, and the spiritual focus of a religion. Many also view me, as the Leader of our nation." Lady Ri-an said.

The White Octopus creature crawled forward.

"Now its your turn. Tell us a bit about you, and then I'll tell you abit about me, and the others like me." It said.

"Well about me, well I come from a long line of Magic. My family has reigned over our nation for 153 years, since 1853. and I am sad to say I will be the last of the Kinimoto's to rule. My parents died when I was fairly young, and I was their only child. And once I marry the Imperial House will chose a new family to rule.

"I am, as the others who look like me, an Aquamarinian. We hail from Fluidic Space. We have no magic, but because of our highly developed minds, and great intellect, we know the powers of Psionics.

I am the only one of my particular species of Aquamarinian, Noble. I am a great sage, and revered as the King of all Aquamarinians, thus my name, King Aqua. All others are common Aquamarinians Dark Grey ones Are Male, all Brighly colored ones with the diffrent patterns are Female. Other than that, there is no diffrence between them what so ever. not in voice, not in mentality, nothing. There were Royal Aquamarinians, but their only intrest was in destroying each other, so we killed them and formed a Democratic Monarchy. A little harsh yes, but, eventually i will tell you about the Royal Aquamarinians, in of course, a more suitable environment, at a later time. Then perhaps, you will understand our action." King Aqua said.

The Eight Sorcerers stepped forward. The Large Muscly four armed Creatures are called Gareens, because that is the sound they make when they breath. They are only slightly more intelligent then the moss on this rock beside me.
However, their strength is a marvel to behold. The Aquamarinians control them in their hivemind. If they did not, they would go into a psychotic Blood rage and kill us all where we stood simply because we were here. Then they would kill each other, as the tore the entire Continent and all creatures on it apart.

They make marvelous BodyGuards, if one can direct their violent tendancies." One of them said. She had a design on her robe the should not have been physicly possible to have existed, even as a design. Obviously she was the strongest and the leader of the Eight.

"So." she said. "Tell us a bit about yourself, Sakura, such a pretty name."

"Okay, I was born on of all day's April 1st 1988 in Oka City, our nation's Capital. I was named Sakura for two reasons, one it was my mother's favorite flower, and two, every April almost w/o fail the cherry trees in Oka bloom, and it's very pretty. I took the throne when I was only 10 years old, can you belive it? I like Music, I play the French Horn, my favorite foods are rice omelets and noodles, fried shrimp. My staff is a long metalic pink, with a star, enclosed in a circle at the top, see? And honestly, I like learning, I like to learn about other people, other cultures, other things. And I do fancy a good horse race every now and again. I'm also Type A Blood and Personality." She laughed at her small pun. "Although my parents are gone, I'm not all that lonely. My staff is a lot like my family. Including my Maiden Yukiko, she's like a sister to me."

"Later, you will have to explain things to us, as we are not of this world. Like, why is April 1 so significant? The way you said it, makes it sound like it has significance other than being the date of your birth." The Woman said.

"Anyways, I am Marill, the Grand Sorceress of Ri-an.

Beside me is Jale, Master Sorcerer of Wind and Lightning,

Then Fiera, Master Sorceress of Fire

Then Aquios, Master Sorcerer of Water.

Then Roser, Master Sorcerer of Ground.

Then Tiel, The Master Sorceress of Healing, and Head of The Department of Helth, overseer of All Ri-an Hospitals, celebrated Physcian, the list goes on. Basicly, you get hurt, you couldn't ask for anyone better. Well, you could, but, their just legends, rumors.

Moving right along, The man dressed both five years before and ahead of fashion, is Shron Master Sorcerer of Time Magic.

And the woman whose robes very Accuratly display a Map of the Entire Milky Way Galaxy, including all Large Ships stars and Planets, is Laet." Marill said.

"Like she said, there are those better than us, but in all our experience, we've never once been able to find them to learn from them. Said Laet.

"Yes, The Legendary Magimasters." Said Shron.

"Oh, well April 1st on Earth is a Holiday called April Fools Day. Pretty much it's a day to play practical jokes on people. It's not really a federal holiday or anything like that. And it's a pleasure to meet you all." She bowed.

"Oh, well April 1st on Earth is a Holiday called April Fools Day. Pretty much it's a day to play practical jokes on people. It's not really a federal holiday or anything like that. And it's a pleasure to meet you all." She bowed.

"Practical Jokes? I hate, practical Jokes." Lady Ri-an said.

"Hey yo, be cool Mother." said a man next to her that was dressed to the nines, and looking like a cover model off of GQ magazine. His hais was black, and slicked back. His skin, was black. His clothes, were black. Even bhis shoes, were black. The onlything on him not black, was the whites of his eyes.

"And this would be my child, Deuce, minor God of Chaos. 70% of the time he irritates me to the point of considering turning him to stone just for the peace and quiet." Lady Ri-an said.

"Bwahahahahaha! your such a kidder mother. Besides, Jokes and humor are a part of my nature." Deuce said.

"It wouldn't be so bad, if it was an occasional thing. If you ever have anyone you want tortured in an inhumane, cruel and unusual fashion, make them spend a day with Deuce." Lady Ri-an said.

Deuce was suddenly next to the Empress.

"Its not really that bad. Mother's just a Law based entity, and I'm Chaos based. We're total opposites, so of course I get on her nerves more often than not." Deuce said.

"DEUCE! Turn her back." Lady Ri-an chided to Deuce, who had turned The Empresses hair into bright multicolored Clown hair, and gave her a bright squeaky red nose.

"Aww, spoil sport." Deuce said, who undid the mostly harmless prank.

"See what I mean?" Lady Ri-an asked.

Sakura lauged "Yes I do see."

Sakura lauged "Yes I do see."

"Anyways, now that personal introductions are over, lets turn to a point of commonality. I speak of course, of magick. I have noticed, many, many diffrent styles and methods of magick. Show me, how do you do magick?" LAdy Ri-an asked.

She willed a set of outdoor furniture to appear, and it did.

"Have a seat." Lady Ri-an said.

"Well, first I summon my staff." She summond her long staff. "Then I cast a spell, like...Glow!"

Her staff illuminated into a bright glow. "Helpfull for sneaking in dark places that you don't want to get caught. Staff is the most common usage in M.S. Other places, even non magic nations have their share of styles."

OOC: Sorry about the delay, internet problems:(

IC:

"Amazing, you need an item?" schotty, the science sorcerer said, hauling out a massive notebook and scribbling notes.

"You'll have to forgive him, he's bent on manually gaining all-knowledge. It'll take awhile, that's for sure." Lady Ri-an said.

"Us, we will it, and gesture. The gesture doesn't matter, its just a method of releasing magic. such as, hmm, let me think." Marill said.

Deuce walked over to marill.

"Such as this." and he spun her around in place. Suddenly she was in a beautiful silky black Ballroom gown.

"Its great for offense as well. I think Kajeenith simply wills things to happen, him, warfare, and the Magimasters. Shame they're not here." Tiel said.

Marill's gown shimmered back into her robes.

"As for sneaking around in the dark, we know a spell that affords us nightvision, like the creatures of the dark places. Another for heatvision, and the strongest one of all, lets us see in the darkest of places, as though we were in the brightest." Marill said.

"Oh, we call that the art of Wandless Magic. It's very tricky to learn for us, takes lots of practice, and skill, and you master it so well. I guess it would be handy to have Night vision skills, wouldn't it."

"Oh, we call that the art of Wandless Magic. It's very tricky to learn for us, takes lots of practice, and skill, and you master it so well. I guess it would be handy to have Night vision skills, wouldn't it."

"Well, yes, but we developed nightvision skills because there are things that want to see our downfall that exist only in the dark. We had to have some way of leveling the playing field, these things can supress light." Marill said.

"Well, what other forms of magick do you know? I developed a new one, that allows even people who don't have magick to use it as though they did." Schotty said.

"Well I do know magic merge. For example, I can grow wings out of my back, rather than use a broom or staff to fly. I can become a fighting spirit, and well other things. I know some basic weather controll but not enough. I can harness the power of tarrot cards, not just for fortune telling, and that is pretty much the extent of my abilties as of now. I am only a teenager still so, I'm still learning more and more."

I am only a teenager still so, I'm still learning more and more."

"Yes, those things most Junior Sorcerers can do. You are leaders though, surely your powers will be great. Perhaps we can help you." said Shron, the Time sorcerer.

"A thought has occured, perhaps an exchange of Emabassies is in order. After we're finished here getting to know one another, an Embassy is only a natural step." Lady Ri-an said.

OOC: We're stuck in small talk it seems. Unless you can think of a way to move things along, perhaps I could bring in a few entities to stir up a fight. If its a fight you want though, leave it to me, I have things that I created specificly to kill and destroy Magekind. a couple should provide suffecient trouble for both of us.

Oh yes, Some things I say do or use harken back to my previous NS nations. So If I make a strange refrence, that's why.

(Well I'll think about fighting, what kind do you have in mind?)

"That is a good idea, I think we should also draft a written pact agreement."

(Well I'll think about fighting, what kind do you have in mind?)

"That is a good idea, I think we should also draft a written pact agreement."

"And would this agreement contain?" King Aqua asked.

OOC: Well for situations like this, there are only three types:

Physical, including ranged weapons. I would use a few special creatures highly resistant to magick, and a being known far and wide as, "Id"

Magickal, which would be a chance to show off our more violent spells.
I would use the Ministry of Shadow.

Both, a no holds barred fight against the Ministry of Shadow and the Demon of elru to the finish. Both of them want to see Lady Ri-an her followers, and aquantences dead.

(Mmm, would these like be melees, sort of a duel, or more of an attack)

"Well, uhh, I don't know yet. I think we'll have to draft one up."

(Mmm, would these like be melees, sort of a duel, or more of an attack)

"Well, uhh, I don't know yet. I think we'll have to draft one up."

(a bit of all three.)

"Well, no time like the present." King aqua said.

From out of a pocket of air came a thick volumous stack of paper, no less than four quill pens, 15 inkwells, 90 ball point pens, and a massive oak table.

"So, then, lets get started. Both ruling factions are here I assume, so therefore there is no reason for deliberation or voting. now then, having reviewed agreements of all kinds over many decades, will this be a standerd run-of the mill non-aggression pact which is great for starters, a trading pact, a defense pact, an offense pact, or a full all-out alliance treaty?" King aqua asked.

15 or so Aquamarinians sat at the table grim serious expressions on their faces. They were the heart and soul of the government, and took such things very seriously.

Lady Ri-an sighed, rolled her eyes and took a seat as well. Clearly she preferred doing other things, such as growing forests. Deuce and the sorcerers took a seat and began playing poker a little ways off to the side.

"Now let's see first we have to have an opening clause to state our joining together in freindship. "


(well I'm up to a bit of battle)

"Now let's see first we have to have an opening clause to state our joining together in freindship. "


(well I'm up to a bit of battle)

"And how would you write it up?" King Aqua inquired, sliding pen and paper over.

Meanwhile...

A dark shadow approached the continent.

In it flew a giant red Gear.

"So, they are gathered here." said a being in the Shadow cloud.

"Indeed they are. They seek relations with another magick using nation." said another.

"Heh, are they strong?" asked a malevolent being in the giant red gear.

"We shall see, we shall see." said yet a third.

They made landfall on the continent, on the side furthest away from the gathering. As the moved, Darkness spread accross the Continent, so great, no light could pierce it.

Lady Ri-an shudderd.

"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." Lady Ri-an warned.

King Aqua and the others snapped to attention.

"Oh dear, should we be worried, should I prepare for attack?"

"Your highness Kinimoto, you need not worry." Madison said "We can protect you."

"Danger, I do sense the danger now. Something evil. If it's a fight they want, it's a fight they'll get." She stripped down her puffy dress, revealing a simple outfit, black tanktop with black pants, she held her staff in the defensive position. She had the game face on.

"Your highness we must inist you stand back/"

"No, I'm going to fight."

It didn't matter if they wanted her to atttack or not.

a great black Cloud of night enshrouded them all.

A spell from Lady Ri-an enabled them all to see in it.

The Red Gear landed in front of them all. It stood fifty feet into the air. A great foot came stomping down on The Queen and her two advisors. The Ri-ans clustered together, forming a great spell.

Deuce meanwhile stood up.

"I shoulda known that was you Bro! ain't no other bad enough to attack in that style." He said.

He himself redied another spell.

Seven voices from the Dark Cloud itself spoke.

"Such Foolishness. we find you to be a False-God, Deuce. Therefore we shall tear you down, brother you may be. You all will be killed for the great sin of opposing Father Shadowlord. The Ruler of Magic Sorcery and and all her people far and wide shall be killed for her sin of consorting with Those that would oppose Father. So have we, The Ministry of Shadow Decided, so have we spoken, so Shall we do."

Lady Ri-an smiled.

Energy crackled around her, as Deuce's spell, and the spell of the Sorcerers completed.

Great wings boomed out of her back, and armor fit for a Wargod grew out of her skin. Lightning tore through the darknessm and nestled in her hand, becoming a great sword. a Boulder rose out of the Ground, and carved itself into her shield.

"Come and get me, if you dare."

The Aquamarinians meanwhile had a plan to remove the problem of the giant red machine.

An Octopus Ship drifted don from the sky, but it would not get there before The machine stomped on Kinimoto and her party.

"Sheild!" She called out, although the shield broke eventually on impact, it did protect her, enough for her to do an evasive manuver. Ria Rume! She held her staff and a breif swirl of electricity elncosed on the gear before disipating as expected. "Wings!" She sprouted wings from her back in the event she may need to fly.

She held her staff and a breif swirl of electricity elncosed on the gear before disipating as expected. "Wings!" She sprouted wings from her back in the event she may need to fly.

The Electricty did nothing to the Gear. It may have been a machine, but its armor was designed to deflect Energy.

A great Metal tenticle wrapped around the gear, and crushed it.

Id, the Demon of Elru, appeared before them. He had red hair, red Eyes, and great amounts of Red energy rising from his body. His skin was white, and his Clothes were of Black Leather. It wasn't Shiny and treated with Chemicles, just properly tanned to prevent it from smelling.

"You've been a very naughty Child." Marill, the grand sorceress of Ri-an said.

"Well then mother, I guess you'll just have to punish me. You were always strong. But The Ministry has plans for you and the Ri-ans." he said.

Black seperated The Queen and her advisors, from the Ri-ans. They were into seperate places, and could not help each other.

Id stood to face Kinimoto and her advisors.

"What's your Id, are you strong?" Id asked, walking slowly towards Kinimoto.

Sakura kept her gaurd up. She did as instructed when faced with potential hostile. Identify her self, as that was all she could think of ID meant. Unless it was the Id of Psychology, or something else.

"Sakura Kinimoto, Empress to the Empire of Magic Sorcery, Level 15 Sorcerss."

Sakura kept her gaurd up. She did as instructed when faced with potential hostile. Identify her self, as that was all she could think of ID meant. Unless it was the Id of Psychology, or something else.

"Sakura Kinimoto, Empress to the Empire of Magic Sorcery, Level 15 Sorcerss."

Id stopped infront of her. His red Energy flared.

"Heh, your not strong at all then." He said.

He punched her and it was like a 2 ton wrecking ball coming at her. Id was feared far and wide for his massive strength. Strength that rivaled possibly beat Herculese.

Sakura was sent flying by the blow. She thought to her self "Man he's stong. Physically, he could very well break through any shiled I put up. I'll have to try long range." She then called out loud twirling her staff "Watery entrap him!"

Sakura was sent flying by the blow. She thought to her self "Man he's stong. Physically, he could very well break through any shiled I put up. I'll have to try long range." She then called out loud twirling her staff "Watery entrap him!"

Id grinned. He teleported to Sakura. The groung shook with the force.

His foot came flying in a hard kick to her spine. If her advisors didn't help, she was going to die.

OOC: It would help if you described at least OOCly, what the magick is supposed to do.

(OOC: oh okay, well I have been trying to explain ICly but I guess I'm not doing a good job. Well Watery Spell, it's designed as an agressive spell to either knock a person back or ensnare them in a water bind. Would you mind if I did a recovery spell?)

Madison attempted to aid, Miyu held her back "No wait."

"It's our responsibility to protect her."

"Sakura is determined, and you know her."

"He's too strong."

"Seishro was stronger than her, and she duled him into submission. "But if it comes down to it, we will step in and protect her."

Sakura recolied. "Ah he's fast too. That's it, time to put my channeling spells to work. "Magic combines with Magic, two classes merge, give the strength of steel, release!" She was enshrouded in light, and it disipated, as if nothing happend. (OOC: what she's doing is merging her self into a Steel Element type, another type of magic. Her body doesn't become steel, but it does increase her physicall defense sharply)

She realized she still had her wings, she flew back several feet to give her self more time to apply additional spells.

"Give me speed!" She applied a speed charm to keep up with him.

"I need a spell to catch him, or at least spread out all over the field. Think Sakura think..."

OOC: Nice try. If Id didn't have the power he did, it almost would have been a fair fight.

IC:

Id laughed. a vile disheartening laugh.

His entire body and power turned balcker than the depths of space.

A great Cloud went forward and surrounded everybody,, then retreated back into Id's body, but things kept going towards him. Id stole from Sakura and the others 1/3 of their power and life, and put a stopper in place preventing them from healing it.

" Give up and die peacefully. I promise to kill you in a slow painful inhumane manner." Id said.

That which Id stole, he added to his own power and strength, making him even more dangerous.

"Hale Cross" She called out, but nothing happend, her healing spells had been blocked. "Shoot. Now I'm in trouble, what do I do? He's stronger than Seshiro, and Seishro's flunkies combined"

Her memoires flashed through her head including some of her short time memories of her parents.


"Always remember my young one, there is nothing stronger than will power." Her mother said

"When all else fails," Her father said "There is no shame in retreat. If it means sparing your life and another day to rule the nation. Pride has lost more battles and more men than a faulty staff, than a lack of spell knowledge. Never let your pride cloud your judgement."

"I can't beat him." She utterd to her self, and her only back up was also down on the floor.


"What can I do, I need something to help me."

"I can't beat him." She utterd to her self, and her only back up was also down on the floor.


"What can I do, I need something to help me."

Accross her mind, and her mind alone, words flashed.

Don't worry.

Id walked up to her.

"Alright Bro, time for you to Leave." called out Deuce from the Darkness.

Deuce grabbed Id from behind and threw him.

Id vanished into the darkness.

"You alright yo? I see, you'll be alright, jes stand back. I got this turkey's number. Tiel will get you fixed." Deuce said.

Id walked back through.

"not this time, Bro. I got a whole new bag of tricks." Id said.

They grappled and disappeared.

The Seal on their powers released, it was after all, only temporary. Tiel ran through.

"I don't have much time. Their coming for you. The Ministry." Tiel said, healing all three of them. a pair of white eyes flashed in the darkness, and she was gone.

Then, seven pairs of white eyes surrounded all three of them.

Looking in the darkness, one got the impression they were seated on seven thrones.

"Count your blessings Deuce interferred. No matter, you shall die by our hands." said the seven. a tenticle, a claw, and a fire ball lashed out of the darkness. One for each of them.

OOC: You decide what goes for who.

Madison and Miyu dove infront of Sakura to protect her.

Sakura stood up.

"You want to play dirty, Hail Cross." And she was showerd in light. MeRue Kruz She summond ice blocks down upon her foes

Madison and Miyu dove infront of Sakura to protect her.

Sakura stood up.

"You want to play dirty, Hail Cross." And she was showerd in light. MeRue Kruz She summond ice blocks down upon her foes

"hahahahaha, You try to summon the Light? fine, then you shall die where Light does not, and cannot exist." The Ministry said.

The eyes closed. There was no way of knowing where the ministry was. But, everything felt diffrent. The light from the Hail cross was forced to vanish, as they all were taken to the Shadowrealm.

Fire boiled out from the night. though no light from the fire emerged, it burned all the same, heading for Madison.

Thunder split the air, as a Lightning bolt struck for Miyu, but again, no light shown.

For Sakura herself, seven claws from seven directions lashed out at her, each one bore a diffrent deadly toxin.

Never give up faith.

The words flashed accross Madison, Miyu, Sakura, from an outside source.

Phal Repth A small healing, but it was enough to sustain them, for now

Ap Do! She cried to increase her speed

"Dare I try? Wryneck She summond a Dark Spell a giant claw to pop up and do some damage. It wasn't a permanent grabber, but it could do some nice damage.

OOC: Although yes you can and have damged the Ministry, they will not ever show it.

IC:

The Eyes recoiled.

"Shadowflare!" They cried as one.

The flares were the strongest of all spells. Each element had its own flare, and shadow was no exception.

The entire Shadow realm recoiled from the shock of the spell, as massive amounts of negative energy drained Sakura, Madison and Miyo, followed by an explosien that originated beneath them.

"Strong, very strong."

She grabbed Miyu and Madison and placed them out side of the Arena. It wasn't likely they could be spared harm, but at least they wouldn't recive an epicenter of the blast. She counterd with an Earth Spell OrGan Zot "
and she rose stone collumns beneath them. Ap Vorma" she called to raise her magical defense

Another spell was cast, and the Pillars were turned into a shower of boulders that rained down upon her.

"Blasted!" She shielded her self as best as she could

"Perhaps I should try cyclone style spells. Ani Cruz" A bunch of skulls converged on them

She coiled back to get a second attack in "Juk Rom"

A tornado of razor leaves and stining wind encircled him before disipating.

"Unless, no, that's a spell unforgivable only thing worse is a death spell. But what if he were to counter it and use it against me. I best not try."

She braced for the next attacks

A ferocious Roar split the air.

"ENOUGH!" Bellowed the Ministry of Shadow.

The sound echoed several times, and caused a rumbling.

The seven eyes converged upon a single spot, and rose high into the air.

Light split the shadowrealm, as the ministry altered its laws, though Sakura would find that it was no longer seven entities. The Ministry had pulled out all the stops, and reformed into the Shadowlord. the Shadowlord was born of the night. Fear and Terror were his domain, and the form he took would inspire great fear and terror in Sakura, as she saw her own doom standing before her, and the Terror and fear would be so great, as to cause her to loose all confidence in herself, her powers, he ministers, everything.

OOC: this is where I need your help. Tell me what he looks like, what would be able to cause that much fear and terror in her? What is it that she fears most, beyond all things, even if its something she doesn't admit or realise that she fears? This will also spread into the surrounding environment, which is another thing I need you to describe, as its all based on Sakura, your queen/Empresses worst Fears and terrors.

(http://img12.photobucket.com/albums/v30/funkymunky/DSG332_-_black_knight.jpg This creature represents some of her worst nightmares. Being overpowerd by some unstobable force a ghostly force. Phantom-ish, her fear of ghosts, a sword to kill, her fears of losing someone dear to her.)

Sakura trembled in fear she couldn't move it was a paralyzing force she dropped her staff and fell to her knees and stared at it blankly. Tears streamed down her face as it flashed some of her worst terrors of her life and her dreams before her eyes.

OOC: I can work with that. Thanks.

IC:
The creature that was the Shadowlord advanced slowly towards Sakura. He raised his sword high, and brought it down hard on Sakura.

A feeling, a warmth, an encouragement from an outside force.
These were her fears and her fears alone, and no one could fight them for her, but someone, or something was watching, but who?

Miyu stood weakly. "You will not hurt Lady Sakura." She limped to protect her. "Never fear Milady, I'm hear to protect you."

"Die." was all that was said. A scythe, the famous weapon of the Grim Reaper, flew through the air straight to Miyu, if it connected, it would slice her completly in half.

It was never given the chance, It disappeared. Shadowlord was upset.

"You have done enough damage, Shadowlord. Now flee into the darkness you came from." came a powerful voice.

The Shadowlord looked everywhere for the voice.

"Show yourself coward!"

Id appeared.

"You can't beat us both." he said.

(I guess I take on the role as the guardian)

Light emerged and out of it walked a statley young man with snowy hair, and a masterful suite of aurmore with wings hanging down his back, walked from the light.

"Thoes who harm their next of kind, deserve no life and no power of their own. You are a shame to all magick users."

"Thoes who harm their next of kind, deserve no life and no power of their own. You are a shame to all magick users."

OOC: Actually, the character is mine. But he'll appear with the guardian you just posted.

IC: Next to the young man appeared the Wrath of God. At least that's what it seemed like to Shadowlord and Id.

The man bore white armor, made of metal so strong, not even the force of a Black hole could destroy it. It was Gold at the seams, and he bore a Gold chain around his neck. He carried a great shield with a crest signifying he served the one true source of all things, The Omnisource, known by many names in many places.

He sat upon a great white stead, it had a single unicorn's horn, and great Pegasus wings, for it was an Alicorn, and it was Majestic and Regal enough, to put all other Creatures to shame. It wasn't a frail thin horse either, it was a War Alicorn, and it had great flowing muscles, and was truely an awe inspiring sight to behold. Both glowed bright with the power of Pure Holy energy.

The man drew a sword, and it was a longsword, but it was made of the same metal as the armor, and had more strength than a star.

"I am Rahegalhoff, Defender of the weak and innocent, known to some, as The Holy Paladin, great warrior of the Light. Come Starfire, lets us sally forth, with the Guardian of Magic sorcery, and do battle with the darkness, may Omnisource bless us this day, and allow us to destroy them once and for all." Rahegalhoff said. A golden light shown all around them and radiated forth. Sakura and the others were healed.

Starfire stood upon its hindlegs, spread its wings, and let out a whinnie so great, as to be a warcry, as great energy crashed, and Rahegalhoff sounded the charge.

Starfire took to the air, and Rahegalhoff, bore down upon The Shadowlord, and Id, sword held high. He crashed into the Shadowlord, and delivered seven mighty strokes to The Shadowlord, sending the best flying back.

Id hissed, and leaped upon the younger man with the silver hair and majestic wings, determined to snatch his heart clean out of his chest.

"You think me unwise, to come alone?"Rahegalhoff asked the stricken Shadowlord.

OOC: he's your guardian, use him. Id's power does not yet come close enough to hurt the man.

"Right away." He compliently said, drawing his sword.

"Right away." He compliently said, drawing his sword.

Id made to punch the man, with great force.

His tough Auromer deflected the blow, but it was still enough to send him recoiling a few feet.

"You are strong, but strength isn't everything."

He shot a series of fire balls out at Id. Including bolts of lighting.

His tough Auromer deflected the blow, but it was still enough to send him recoiling a few feet.

"You are strong, but strength isn't everything."

He shot a series of fire balls out at Id. Including bolts of lighting.

Id was worn out, and the Lightning and fireballs threw him.

A man with white hair and black disturbing clothes appeared. he smelled of death and destruction, and yet, he didn't exist. He was paradox, he was the end of all things, the great devourer, Kajeenith.
He waved a hand. Id, and The Ministry of Shadow vanished.

"Well, it seems we're having fun here." he said. His voice was rich, and entrancing.

"However, I did not order this. You would have died, if I had."Kajeenith said. He looked at Sakura.

"You are strong, stronger than you might think you are. Its not everyone that can actually defend themselves against them two for that long." Kajeenith said.

He looked at Rahegalhoff.

"So, we meet again, what's this, do you have a squire now?" he asked.

"Indeed not. This man is not my Squire." Rahegalhoff said.

Kajeenith walked to the man that had come with Rahegalhoff.

"Well then, who ARE you?" he asked.

"My name is Sir Balmung, I am one of the Secret Guaridans of Fiana's Order, organized to protect Emperors Emperess, Kings, Queens, Magistrates, Presidents, Princes and Princesses, of Magic Worlds of Earth. My protectorate lies with in her Highness Sakura Kinimoto. There are far more of my order, and striking one of us down will get you nowhere."

He knelt down beside her. "Milady, I am sorry for my lateness, accept my Hale Cross."

He showerd her in his healing light. "Now rest milady, I will take care of him. You dare trespass upon her so vilely. It's time you are taken down."

"My name is Sir Balmung, I am one of the Secret Guaridans of Fiana's Order, organized to protect Emperors Emperess, Kings, Queens, Magistrates, Presidents, Princes and Princesses, of Magic Worlds of Earth.

"Fighting him will not get you anywhere, I've been trying it for longer than you've existed." Rahegalhoff warned Sir Balmung.

"Ohh, now let him give it a try. Come on, I won't stop you, give me your hardest most powerful attack." Kajeenith said, simply standing there.

Balmung stood his ground, and put his sword at a rest stance.

"Very well Nobel Guaridan, what do you have in mind?"

Balmung stood his ground, and put his sword at a rest stance.

"Very well Nobel Guaridan, what do you have in mind?"

"You can't defeat me. I am the God of Nothing, the great devourer. I shall destroy all things. Next time we meet, I shall not be so nice." Kajeenith said.

Suddenly he was gone.

"Well for one, he never attacked. He was telling the truth when he said he didn't order it. I know this, because I know when people are, and are not telling the truth. You want a chance to get at him, you just wait. You'll know when the time to attack is." Rahegalhoff said in a more normal, decent tone.

"Now, lets get them back to the Ri-ans, so that they can finish their meeting. But first, to find them." Rahegalhoff said.

He picked up Sakura, and set her in his place on Starfire. The stalion folded his wings.

Rahegalhoff kneeled in Prayer, and then set off.

"We are guardians, it is not to us to decide when to, and when not to go after Kajeenith, but rather to protect those who can, and those who can are numbered among Mortal and Divine kind. Namely, They lovely woman on starfire, and other governments, such as Lady Ri-ans. I have no doubt though, that Kajeenith will soon force us to fight him, such is the way he is, and the way he has always been." Rahegalhoff said, his many, many eons of life evident in his voice.

"I must admit, I'm not as young as I once was." he said.

Then he found the Ri-ans, all incased in statues.

"Though it may seem like it, I do not have magick, and the little I can use in the way of healing, is not strong enough to heal Flesh tunred to stone." Rahegalhoff said.

"Understood. Then let us be off."

"Understood. Then let us be off."

"Can one of you turn the Ri-ans back to flesh?" asked Rahegalhoff.

"I can, but it will take some time. I'll need to brew a potion."

"I can, but it will take some time. I'll need to brew a potion."

"Alright, Starfire, it'll be hard, but can you warp us to their capital?" Rahegalhoff asked.

Starfire bucked and galloped and flapped his wings and used all his energy to take them all, statues included back to the capital of Magic sorcery. Then he fell asleep where he stood.

Right at the capital and into the Royal Palace. Yukiko ran out. "My goodness. What happend?"

"You need not worrry miss, we have it well under controll. I'm afraid Empress Kinimoto has been attacked. As her maiden I'll trust you will take care of her."

"Right away."

Two Aids also took Madison and Miyu.

"I will get started right away on that potion."

He walked off to start

Rahegalhoff stood watch over the stoned Ri-ans, It wasn't that he didn't trust the people of Magic Sorcery, it was that he didn't trust their enemies, or Kajeenith.

Anyone that approached felt Rahegalhoff looking at them, as though they were under Judjement. He would know the intentions of Everyone that approached.

"Strong Spell."

He began taking ingrediants and viles and mixing them together. It was long and tidious but a very skillful art and science that needed to be done carefully.

He set the vile on the burner to let it simmer, stiring ocasionally.

He set the vile on the burner to let it simmer, stiring ocasionally.

"I am a Paladin, it is one of my skills. What path do you follow Sir Balmung?" Rahegalhoff asked.

"As a Guaridan I am well tuned to many skills, but my primary followings would be Mageship. Basically like Sorcery only naturally staff or wandless, something fairly difficult for someone like Her Highness and others of this nation to learn."

"As a Guaridan I am well tuned to many skills, but my primary followings would be Mageship. Basically like Sorcery only naturally staff or wandless, something fairly difficult for someone like Her Highness and others of this nation to learn."

"I do not posses strong magick. I have limited low level healing, but that's it. The Miravles attributed to me and others who follow this same path, its not us. Its actually the Dieties we follow. Those of us with a closer relationship to our dieties can sometimes when appropriate, Pray for a more offensive Miracle. But, then, I'm sure that such attacks you could do with ease." Rahegalhoff said.

A thought occured to him.

"Do you know of the Healing powers of Unicorn.Alicorn Blood?" he asked.

"Indeed I do. When a Unicorn will willingly give you it's blood to save another, the person will be stronger than ever. Nobel creatures they are, but are very much fond of females more than males. Phoenix tears are also a wonderous aid."

"Indeed I do. When a Unicorn will willingly give you it's blood to save another, the person will be stronger than ever. Nobel creatures they are, but are very much fond of females more than males. Phoenix tears are also a wonderous aid."

"Starfire is my best friend and constant companion. He's one of the few beings I can depend on and confide in.

For helping me with the Ministry, and Id, I'd like to give you a Vial of Starfire's blood. He gave it to me long ago, and I'd like you to have it." Rahegalhoff said.

He pulled out a Vial of pure Alicorn blood. It still glowed. The Silver blood moved somewhat under its own power.

"Thank you I shall treasure this. The poition should be just about ready now."

He took it off, and poured a small ammount on the forozen people. "Stone, not an easy cure."

The Staues cracked and crumbled. The Ri-ans leaned weakly on one another for support.

Rahegalhoff used his low level healing powers to get them back on their feet.

This seemed to work.

"Where are we?" Laet asked.

"Welcome back, you are in Magic Sorcery."

"Welcome back, you are in Magic Sorcery."

"It feels like I've been hit by an entire asteroid belt." complained Lady Ri-an.

"Is the Empress okay?" asked King Aqua.

"She is fine. She is resting right now and she'll be back on her feet in no time."

"She is fine. She is resting right now and she'll be back on her feet in no time."

"So, in the meantime, what do you suggust we do?"

"You should rest up too."

Yukiko entered the room as he said the words. "I can provide you with a room if you need to rest."

"You should rest up too."

Yukiko entered the room as he said the words. "I can provide you with a room if you need to rest."

Lady Ri-an faded into energy with a sigh. Her spirit departed for the continent.

"Sure thing yo." Deuce said.

"Right this way." She opend a very homey chamber. A king sized bed, chrimson carpet, and drapes, a big fire place on the wall. "Would you like the drapes drawn?"

"Mistress Sakura? Are you all right young Miss?" Asked another Maiden Fuori.

"Oh I feel like a train hit me."

"You've had a pretty big fight, you best rest for a while."

"What happend to-"

"They are fine. Now rest."

"No thanks."

OOC: Sorry, I missed your post.

EDIT: My uncle has passed on. I will not be back for some time. I don't have the heart. I will be back though.

(Oh I'm sorry)

OOC: I'm back, don't worry. I'm pouring my grief into my RP's, its really the best outlet I have.

Thank you though.

(OOC: Okay then)

IC:

"Very well if you be needing anything pleas ask."

(OOC: Okay then)

IC:

"Very well if you be needing anything pleas ask."

"what about them?" Deuce asked indicating the sorcerers.

"We need a large body of water, like a lake, or a sea." said King Aqua, indicating the Aquamarinians.

"Mmm, well I could allow you to go into Oka Harbor. Otherwise we do have a very nice fountain outside."

"Mmm, well I could allow you to go into Oka Harbor. Otherwise we do have a very nice fountain outside."

"Either way, we seem to be drying up." said King Aqua. Drying up was a very bad condition, but Aquamarinians would never let that fact be known.

"Ah come with me. And..."

She enclosed them in a buble. "That should keep you moist for a short while, till we get you to some water."

"Ah come with me. And..."

She enclosed them in a buble. "That should keep you moist for a short while, till we get you to some water."

"Let us make haste then."

"Follow me." Yukiko took them down the stairs and out to the Garden to the fountain. "Will this do for you?"

"Follow me." Yukiko took them down the stairs and out to the Garden to the fountain. "Will this do for you?"

They submerged beneath the fountain and fell asleep before they could answer.

Yukiko smiled and left quietly.

In the morning, the fountain would have a little less water in it.

Deuce and the sorcerers would sleep well.

Anyone near deuce's room would find he snored music.

Lady Ri-an would suddenly just be in the garden when the sun rose.

Yukiko walked out to the Garden to check on the sorcers and found Lady Ri-an.

"Good morning Lady Ri-an, did you rest well?"

Yukiko walked out to the Garden to check on the sorcers and found Lady Ri-an.

"Good morning Lady Ri-an, did you rest well?"

"I never sleep, but If I don't return to my Planetary body on occasion, I'll fade away."

"Oh I see. So does that mean you do not eat either?"

"Oh I see. So does that mean you do not eat either?"

"Just solar energy, and I got plenty of that in my other body. Gotta feed the wildlife."

"Did someone mention food?" The sorcerers asked as they stepped out into the garden.

"Yes we have a very nice breakfast prepared."

"Yes we have a very nice breakfast prepared."

OOC: I have no idea how I missed this, and I'm sorry.

IC:

The sorcerers brighten up noticibly at that statement. They even begin to seem a bit more cheerful.

"Then lets go."

Yukiko lead them into the dining room. There was a long table filled with a great amount of food. "Help your self."

Yukiko lead them into the dining room. There was a long table filled with a great amount of food. "Help your self."

And they certainly did, having a modest amount.

Deuce stood inm the corner next to Lady Ri-an. Appearently he didn't need food either.

Sakura walked down the stairs and to the dining room.

"Good morning." She said "Very good to see you are all well and enjoying our food."

By this point, they sorcerers had eaten enough to satisfy themselves.

The Aquamarinians, were eating very slow, because they could not properly grasp a spoon. They resorted to using their Telekinesis on the silverware to eat.

"Ah Telekenisis, intresting. I know this is silly, but can you, or do you ever bend spoons?"

"Ah Telekenisis, intresting. I know this is silly, but can you, or do you ever bend spoons?"

The Aquamarinians Bent all the spoons, then bent them into a giant model of a bent spoon. Then they set it down before the queen.

"Us? No never. We'd never do something like that." King aqua said with a grin.

She laughed. "Oh you goof balls. There is just so much that mistifies me about your people."

She laughed. "Oh you goof balls. There is just so much that mistifies me about your people."

"Alright, lets get the silverware back to normal." Deuce said.

He snapped his fingers.

The giant model Bursts into millions of little spoons, scale the table back to their original place, and reform back to their regular size.

"why should magick be serious all the time?" Lady Ri-an asks, renouned as the most serious of them all.

"I thought I felt a chill this morning. Hell musta froze over if you said that." Deuce said.

"Of course, magic isn't always about serious. Yes it comes with great responsibility, but it never hurts to have a little fun."

She bloomed a cherry blossom in her hands

"Of course, magic isn't always about serious. Yes it comes with great responsibility, but it never hurts to have a little fun."

She bloomed a cherry blossom in her hands

Lady Ri-an Grew an entire full grown elephant, a mini version. It was five inches tall, and had an adorable little trumpet.

It nosed around in the cherry blossom.

she giggled at the elephant. "Wow. amazing

she giggled at the elephant. "Wow. amazing

"You should come to our underwater homeworld." King aqua said.

All the aquamarinians were done eating, now they just waited on the queen.

"Well, that's a very fine idea. I'm afraid I can not go right away however. I am sorry but I must abandon you for a few hours. I have some emergency business I must attend to. You are free to tour around the city of Oka if you like. I will be done in two hours at most."

"Well, that's a very fine idea. I'm afraid I can not go right away however. I am sorry but I must abandon you for a few hours. I have some emergency business I must attend to. You are free to tour around the city of Oka if you like. I will be done in two hours at most."

"Now behold a true marvel of magick. By the time I'm done speaking, two hours will have come and gone, and you won't have been apart of it. All you'll know is, we suddenly disappeared, and that by the time you find us here again in two hours, all I'll have said is the end of this sentence." Shron said.

"Well then, okay. I have a proposal for you. You can add or ammend anything you desire."

King aqua took it, and read it through twice. He read it using every concievable method and direction.

"It is, acceptable." he said.

Lady Ri-an snapped her fingers, and her signature appeared. It was beautiful and glowed with the might of a thousand Stars. But this was because she signed it in blood. Her Blood.

"Blood? My goodness, no need to be so drastic...Ink is perfectly acceptable."

She signed her name with a pink pen.

"Blood? My goodness, no need to be so drastic...Ink is perfectly acceptable."

She signed her name with a pink pen.

Laet took the document. It suddenly became two documents. She kept the copy, and gave the original back.

King aqua took the copy and disappeared.

"Well I am glad you accepted our treaty. I belive we will have a long lasting freindship."

"Well I am glad you accepted our treaty. I belive we will have a long lasting freindship."

"Now, I believe we won't be bothered, would you care to see my world?"

"Take me away Lady."

"Take me away Lady."

Lady Ri-an snapped her fingers.

Suddenly, they were inside a massive machine. Gears were everywhere, some smaller than a hair, some, larger than worlds. There where even gear Spheres.

Chains connected some to others. Conveyer belts ran everywhere, and pistons slammed up and down, and fans turned.

Everything was in synchronis motion with the machine, as was everyone. The volume of law based energy was staggering.

"Whoops sorry, mis-teleport. Been happening since my recent evolution. This is Mechanus, the elemental Plane of Law." Lady Ri-an said.

"What's it do?"

"What's it do?"

"Mechanus serves many purposes, but its not Ri-an. Mechanus, is the opposite of The Warp, which is where Chaos comes from. The warp can be changed, Mechanus cannot."

Ri-an snapped again. this time they were in front of a massivly huge temple, that was actually a very natural part of the world they were on.

"It can't be. Om? The legendary gate of Realities?" she asked.

"This time I'll take care of the Teleporting. Lady Ri-an has been having trouble ever since she evolved out of worldspirit." Laet said.

"Hmm, anything we could do Lady Ri-an?"

"Hmm, anything we could do Lady Ri-an?"

Lady Ri-an had wondered off. She was looking at the Temple like she had found the answer to the meaning of life.

"Should we follow her?" She wonderd in behind her.

"Should we follow her?" She wonderd in behind her.

"Probably." Marill said. She too was eyeing the Temple as though she had been searching for it all her life. In fact all the sorcerers were.

"the stories are true."

"I thought it was a myth."

"Is there really such a thing as a myth anymore?"

they wandered off after Lady Ri-an at their own paces.

Only Schotty remained behind.

"Very intresting. Have you ever heard of Om, and the Gateway of Divinity?" he asked.

"No I haven't."

"No I haven't."

"Well, Details are sketchy, and no two stories are alike, but there are some similarities among them.

Om was the first planet ever created. It existed before Earth, before Ri-an, before anything. It existed before Time itself, and was the conception of space. diffrent Theories exist for this, all of them are just as insane as any other. Some say The Temple is larger than all the Pyramids of Earth combined, Some say The Temple is The Entire world of Om. Whatever you choose to believe, No one can agree on what's inside, because no one can get in. the doors never open, and no one can open, supposedly it takes a Key. Anyways, some say a weapon of unheard of power lies within, others say the solution to all problems.

One thing is for certain, There is a Gateway inside. Look at the writings on the wall. They actually dynamicly change to reflect your native language. They tell of an ancient Gate inside, that can grant one any wish they so desire. some parts call it the gateway of Reality, others call it the Gate of Divinity. Everyone seems to agree, though no proof has ever been given, that the gate allows one to Leave this Reality, and enter another, with its own science, its own rules, its own magick its own history. Though I am a sorcerer, and believe many strange things, I desire one simple, basic thing. Proof." Schotty said.

He clapped twice. Suddenly everyone was together.

"Alright, alright, that's enough." he said.

Laet snapped. They were on Ri-an, in the central square. Buildings lined the streets and people went about their business. Aquamarinians were everywhere as well. Lady Ri-an sank into the ground.

"I need rest." she said.

OOC: Om is actually apart of something I have planned in a future RP.

(OOC: ooh I'm intrested)

"Incrediable. Are you all right Lady Ri-an?"

(OOC: ooh I'm intrested)

"Incrediable. Are you all right Lady Ri-an?"

"She always disappears into the ground on her. She's the spirit of this world. Her body that was with us, was just Astral Projection, in a personified form." Schotty said.

Mostly everyone broke away thinking about Om.

"Anyways, why don't I give you a flying tour of the world?" Schotty asked.

"Oh certianlly. I'd love an arial tour."

"Oh certianlly. I'd love an arial tour."

Schotty ran off to a nearby booth, and came back with a staff.

He tapped the ground with it. A square formed around them, and took them to the air.

The Capitol city of Elru, was formed in the shape of a massive bullseye. The Palace was in the center.

Did the Ri-anese really realise how much temptation that provided?

"deuce had a hand in city planning." was all Schotty had to say in defence of the design.

"Pretty peculiar but it makes sense."

"Righto, well, on to The Moving forest." Schotty said.

the platform zoomed into a massive living forest, of Treants.

They were everywhere. Some were moving, some were not. Some were aseelp, some were awake. It was not neccessarily true however, that all who were moving, were awake. Some were giganticly huge, and old, some were wee little seedlings. The forest was abloom.

Then, they reached a clearing. A place, the Treants did not tread, out of respect, for what was in the center. The oldest, wisest, and largest of them all. Chief Longbranches, ruler of the Treant forest.

"This is Chief Longbranches. We don't actually know how old he is, and he finds it rude to ask." Schotty whispered.

Chief Longbranches, who was previously snoring in his sleep, snapped awake.

"Eh? what? oh, Schotty my boy. What a pleasure to see you. I see you got yourself a mate, and what a beautiful one at that."

Schotty blushed, and tried to tell The chief he had the wrong idea, but the chief went on.

"And what is your name, my dear?" he asked.

"Sakura, Sakura Kinimoto." She said with a bow. "This place is really amazing, and lovely. You all must be proud to live in such a place."

"Sakura, Sakura Kinimoto." She said with a bow. "This place is really amazing, and lovely. You all must be proud to live in such a place."

"Thank you. So, have you two been married for long?" The chief asked.

"We're NOT MARRIED!" Schotty exclaimed, but the chief wasn't listening to him.

"Sorry but he's right we aren't married."

"Sorry but he's right we aren't married."

"oh." was all the chief said. he appeared to wilt a little bit, as his branches sagged downwards.

Then he brightend back up.

"Well, call me when you do." he said. He fell asleep.

"I think we should go now." Schotty whispered.

The Platform rose and flew away.

When they were gone, Chief Longbranches opened his eyes and chuckled.

"Did you see the way I made him blush?" he asked his fellow treants.

Menwhile, Schotty and Sakura were over a large group of mountains.

"These are the Clay mountains. That's not dirt those plants are growing in, but 100% Potters Clay." Schotty said.

They flew on.

Schotty landed in the center of a calm tranquil lake. The water was so smooth, that it perfectly reflected everything. They were next to a large pink flower bud, at least as tall as schotty.

"This is The Lady's Lake. The very first place that Lady Ri-an ever appeared, out of this very rosebud, some 5,000 years ago. Its closed, because The Lady is sleeping. Travel away from her world weakens her and tires her greatly." Schotty said.

"Ah very diffrent, I'll admit it. I'm very used to being an earthbound nation, so I forget about space from time to time. Your so facinating to me."

"Ah very diffrent, I'll admit it. I'm very used to being an earthbound nation, so I forget about space from time to time. Your so facinating to me."

"Thank you." he said.

Something caught his attention.

He summoned a spear to his hand.

"You may want one to. Keep your guard, there's slyphers about. We're leaving, lest they catch us and attack." Schotty said.

He Cast a spell, and adopted a fighting stance.

"Too late."

He said.

Fortunatly, there was only one, but one was enough.

A slypher, was like a giant six foot tall ant. It was highly resistant to magick, and had hard scales covering its body. Its chest was its weak point, which was protected by its mandibles, and front legs, which it could use as claws.

The slypher appeared on top of them. Schotty teleported sakura out of the way.

Then he jabbed his spear at the slypher, who used its mandibles to break the spear.

Schotty stood, took a small vial out of his breast pocket, and flung it at the Slypher which was now coated in thick sticky acid.

It whipped around surprisingly fast to schotty's backside.

Schotty threw a second vial at it, it landed in front of the slypher, and caused a bush to grow up all around the slypher, trapping it long enough for Schotty jump on the platform, and teleport the slypher to his side.

He rose up way high in the sky beyond the reach of slyphers.

"Dang slyphers, their a natural environmental hazard. Lady Ri-an considers them just as important as us, and refuses to get rid of them." Schotty said.

She turned her staff into a sword. "Sheild!" She summond a shield around her, much like a forcefield virtually unseeable except for the ocassional glimmer

She turned her staff into a sword. "Sheild!" She summond a shield around her, much like a forcefield virtually unseeable except for the ocassional glimmer

Schotty realised just what he had done.

He had the slypher by him, and left Sakura on the ground. feeling a bit silly, he switched the Slypher out for Sakura.

"Sorry. I'm not the best at battling. We're okay now. Nothings going to bother us up here, except for the occasional bird not watching where they fly." Schotty said.

OOC: Seriously, in my last post, I accidently took the slypher and left Sakura behind. Sorry. no more need for weaponry now.

(okay)

She retracted her sword and shield. "so the danger has passed. That's good to hear."

(okay)

She retracted her sword and shield. "so the danger has passed. That's good to hear."

"Their an environmental hazard." Schotty said.


He went over mountains and over oceans, at a breathtaking pace. He came to an island, surrounded by tall tall cliffs, no boat of anykind could land there, no plane, no space ship. To much turbulance, to much interference, and the cliffs were as smooth as marble.

Yet, none of this seemed to effect them.

They decended, into a garden.

"Welcome to The Garden. Few come, few can." Schotty said.

All the plants were massivly huge.

A rose as tall as Sakura blossomed in the sun.

Vines creeped all over the place. Not the thin wimpy kind eiter, the strong thick kind good for swinging on.

There were plants and trees of all sorts, some magickal, some not.

Schotty pointed at a particularly delicous looking apple hanging from a giant leaf. The leaf was hinged.

"Be careful that's a Ri-an Mantrap. One of the few in existence. The fruit will put you to sleep, and the leaf will seal shut around you. You'll never ever wake up again." Schotty said.

"Other than that, look around." Schotty said.

The garden was beyond even the legendary skills of the elves.

"Oh my, thanks for the warning."

She looked around "This place is beautiful. Too bueatiful."

"Oh my, thanks for the warning."

She looked around "This place is beautiful. Too bueatiful."

"Lady Ri-an personally maintains the entire garden." Schotty said.

He walked to a tree. Its leaves were gold. Real Metal Gold, like the kind valued by nations everywhere.

"Our currency is Gold. And they say money doesn't grow on trees. Ours does." Schotty says with a smile.

"Well then you must have unlimited acess to wealth. We use coins our selves, only they're silver pieces, well nickle actually, it's more economically feesable. Especially with the shortage of good alchemists."

"Well then you must have unlimited acess to wealth. We use coins our selves, only they're silver pieces, well nickle actually, it's more economically feesable. Especially with the shortage of good alchemists."

"Haha, actually, this is the only one. There's also a silver and a bronze. While we have a lot of gold, yes, most of it actually goes to the jewelers, and gets used in various spells. It was based on gold at one time though. No, now adays, its all electronic. We just say its gold out of habit." Schotty said.

Then, schotty lead her to a flower bigger than all the rest, in the center of the garden. It was every color, including some so beautiful, they could not possibly be named, because a name would limit their beauty too much.

"The Flower. That's all its ever been called. The flower. We've searched and we've searched, but have never once found another like it. It never closes, it never changes. It just drinks in the sunlight during the day, then at night, emits the most beautiful column of light." Schotty said.

"Ah it's so beautiful I...Wait a second, is it safe to look at the light?" Her mind had turned to Indiana Jones, with the Nazi uddering that same line before disolving.

"Ah it's so beautiful I...Wait a second, is it safe to look at the light?" Her mind had turned to Indiana Jones, with the Nazi uddering that same line before disolving.

"Look at, yes. Touch, we don't know. Frankly, we're too scared to touch it." Schotty admitted.

"Well then..." Her words fadded, she felt a vibration comming from her clothes. Ah yes, as it would so happen she was being paged on her Witches Orb. She was being pagged.

"Yes, this is Sakura."

"Your Highness, we've been trying to reach you havoc has broken lose, Stevid and her allies are advancing on the islands."

"Your kidding me."

"Yes your highness, it's all true. I know you are tied up in Ri-an, but as soon as you can get here the better."

"No more fooling around. Let's show these creeps if they want to play hardball we will play hardball back. It's time the Empire expand it's claims. We are retaking Hanover."

"You are insane. Hanover?"

"Sure."

"Ma'am..."

"A war on two fronts. Would Stevid really want such a thing? It's a risk but I think if we get enough nations behind us, or we can just go it alone."

"Ma'am I just don't think it's a wise idea."

"We're going to do it Miyuki. Hanover will become apart of the Empire of Magic Sorcery."

"Understood."

She put the glass back into her clothes.

"I'm sorry. Now what were you saying? Oh silly me, I was talking but I've lost my train of thought."

"Well then..." Her words fadded, she felt a vibration comming from her clothes. Ah yes, as it would so happen she was being paged on her Witches Orb. She was being pagged.

"Yes, this is Sakura."

"Your Highness, we've been trying to reach you havoc has broken lose, Stevid and her allies are advancing on the islands."

"Ma'am I just don't think it's a wise idea."

"We're going to do it Miyuki. Hanover will become apart of the Empire of Magic Sorcery."

"Understood."

She put the glass back into her clothes.

"I'm sorry. Now what were you saying? Oh silly me, I was talking but I've lost my train of thought."

"War? Is it magickly involved?" Schotty asked.

His shoe accidently brushed the flower.

He phased out.

Then phased back in.

"Who? what? How much time passed, am I back, Did the Blood Crusade happen?" he asked. He was very, very old now. Obviously, touching the flower was a bad idea.

Shron appeared.

"Oh Shron! its you! It was Horrible, I touched the flower, and found myself three hundred thousand years in the future. Sakura here was The Wife of God. Something called the blood crusade happened, after I vanished from this flower. And, And." he was saying.

He was his former younger self again.

"And, what was I saying? oh yeah, Sakura's involved with a war. Care to help her out so she can do to things at once?" Schotty asked, appearently having no idea of what just happened.

Shron froze schotty in a timeless second.

"What did he do? something happened here that prevented an alternate Timeline from becoming the dominant real Timeline. And, about his question, I can split your personal flow of time into two seperate timelines, allowing you to be back home, if there are urgent pressing matters requiring your personal attention, allowing you to still be here. It would last, until the two timelines converged back into one, when you, and the other you that would appear, touch each other, thus again becoming one whole timeline. At that point, you would have a turbulant eight hours sleep, as the whole you relived the memories of both divergent timelines from the point of the split, to the point of convergence." Shron asked.

OOC: In other words, what he's offering is basicly fluid time, given IC description.

"Wha? Are you all right?"

He came back out of his state. And talked about what sounded like spliting her self.


"Oh I don't know, it's very dangerous for a sorcer or sorcress to split themself into two."

"Wha? Are you all right?"

He came back out of his state. And talked about what sounded like spliting her self.


"Oh I don't know, it's very dangerous for a sorcer or sorcress to split themself into two."

"Don't be such a downer yo." deuce said.

"You two have classes running amok. The junior time sorcerers conspiried with the Science sorcerers to build a gigantic clock, and now controll all of Elru. couldn't get me though. Might, uh, Might wanna step in and take care of that." Deuce said.

Shron and schotty both uttered something foul and disappeared.

"Wish I could say I was joking, but I wasn't. Guess I also should have told them the water sorcers froze the water supply. Its not a real revolt, its just, a fake revolt. They gain control over a bit of power, and just ache to test how far they can take it." Deuce said.

He looked at the flower Schotty had told Sakura about.

"Ahh, the Alphadolpholis flower. Its effect varies from person to person. Their all over creation, theirs even one on earth, but, in order to find it, one of two things has to happen. A God, such as myself, has to reveal its location, or The worldspirit of earth, Gaia, has to will it to be shown to all. But, An Alphadolpholis flower can cause major trouble." Deuce said.

"Now, let us depart. There's an absolutly lovely sunset far far away from here." Deuce said.

He picked Sakura up, spun in place, and they were gone.

He appeared on a mountain top, overlooking an entire range of mountains.

"Lovely, isn't it?" asked the snow dragon curled up next to Sakura.

"It's bueatiful." All she could say at the hypnotic sunset

"It's bueatiful." All she could say at the hypnotic sunset

Deuce reached into the snow. Like a projection screen, the environment slid upwards.

They were in a massive underground metropolis, at least the size of Tokyo, Japan, if not bigger.

Several buildings also doubled as support colllumns, keeping the world above, from falling into the world below.

transport tubes of all sizes were strung everywhere, between buildings and all accross town.

Some carried fluids, some carried solids, some carried people, and some carried vehicles.

There were also highways strung all about. through buildings, into buildings out of parking garages.

Both Tube and roadway lead out of, and into the cavern walls in the distance. Veiwed vertivly, it looked like a hyper-complicated spiders web.

"This is the true capitol of Ri-an. Its a part of Elru above us, and is also called elru. Except Elru above is just for foreign tourists. Elru below is for citizens, and of course, allies. Some buildings go all the way through the ceiling, such as Hospital Towers, and The grand coral Palace. But, its secret passages that link above to below. Come, I know this lovely little club downtown. Finest eats on the planet, got good dancing there too. Its been quiet awhile since breakfast, and I imagine you must be getting hungry.

Other than Lunch, there are a few other places on Ri-an of intrest. The Neo-Mekantan Zirconian Hive. We won't be going in of course, but an aerial Flyby is ok.

The Grand Nelsavian Forest, The Oldest Forest on Ri-an.

And, then I'll show you Fluidic Space. Just a few things though. Aquamarinians are far too serious to create anything of wonder. But their great at maintaining the wonders they do have." Deuce said.

The club was called Club Disco. They played Disco, they danced Disco, They dressed Disco, some even talked Disco. Deuce fit right in, which wasn't a surprise, he built and owned the club.

Deuce got a round of applause just for walking in.

"Its all on the House." Deuce told Sakura.

They had a wide variety of items on the Menu.

If she looked around the club, she would see people of all sorts letting loose. Even Aquamarinians were in the corner waving their tenticles about, getting down with the beat. There were some creatures, that closely resembled Human, but clearly were not. Their heads were small, and their muscles were huge. While Herculese and Sampson had always been portrayed in all stories about them as being well built, they didn't have Muscles as big as these creatures had. They may have been stronger, but at least their muscles were'nt giganticly massive.

These creatures just sat in a corner, with a dull glazed look in their eyes.

"This is amazing. How long did it take to build such a thing, where did all this come from, where do you get funding for something like this?


She looked at the menue, so much to chose from, and it all sounded so good. But Sakura's eyse were always bigger than her stomach.

"Hmm, you know the #12 is just speaking to me right now. I think I'd like that. So what are thoese creatures in the corner?"

"This is amazing. How long did it take to build such a thing, where did all this come from, where do you get funding for something like this?

"Hmm, you know the #12 is just speaking to me right now. I think I'd like that. So what are thoese creatures in the corner?"

"Well, The city took a couple thousand years, and was funded both through taxes and private enterprise. The Club, was built on government funds, since it's a great outlet for my nature." Deuce said.

#12 Just so happened to by a Club sandwich with all the fixins, a side of fries or potato chips, Sakura's choice, a Large drink, and afterwards, a nice big slice of pie, or cake.

"Those creatures in the corner? Their called Gareens, and their the only creaturesin all creation capable of failing an I.Q. Test. The average is minus 50. Seriously, the only thing their competing with, are bricks, IF that. Diseases are smarter. If they weren't kept on a psychic leash by the Aquamarinians, they would go into a rage at anything and everything, even friendly greetings and tear everything around them, even each other, apart.
So, with the Aquamarinians acting as the minds, the Gareens act as Security forces, and Military members, which is fine, because Aquamarinians couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag, if they didn't have Psionic powers." A nearby patron in the bar said.

Deuce meanwhile was out on the floor, dancing.

"Intresting. You know I must admit, I feel like a heel, your sharing all sorts of intresting things about your nation with me, and I haven't shared much with you about my nation."

They brought her food

"Arigato."

"I mean I have certianlly found everything about you people very facinating, but there must be surely something I can share about us."

"Look at it this way. Lady Ri-an wanted to tour your country personally, but it takes her one full rotation to become fully rested and healed. this way, you get to see diffrent things, and Lady Ri-an gets the joy of visiting you in your nation personally." Said Tiel, who was enjoying a club sandwixh on sourdough.

"Well that's very good to hear. I hope she gets to enjoy every aspect of our country, I know I'm enjoying everything about yours. I mean did you know we invented phtography way ahead of the mortals figured it out. When they were using flash powder we were already developing color. So much I can share."

After the two had time to enjoy their meal...

"So, if I'm going to show you the rest before mother finishes restoring herself, we'd better get going." Deuce said.

"Oh right. Comming." Sakura reached into her pocket to leave a tip, being a freindly person she is.

Their Zircon hive was big, and fleshy. It extended into the world itself.

"The Neo-Mekantans absorb things, and turn it into more Zirconian. The hive itself is a real living alien." Deuce said.

OOC: But I never asked Neo-Mekanta about actually doing anything, so I'm going to leave it at that.

"Facinating." She stared in wonder

"Facinating." She stared in wonder

"Ahh, and next, the oldest living forest in all of Ri-an, completly unspoiled by civilization. at least half of the forest is petrified." Deuce said.

The forest, it streched from shore to shore, over hills, and through valleys, accross rivers, and over plains. It was truely wild. No form of civilization had ever touch Nelsavia.

OOC: come to Kajeenith's coronation. this thread is out of pace with Ri-an history now, but I'm having fun.

"Amazing, we have small towns like that in M.S. well sort of, there are many towns which aren't really modernized. We've always been a bit of a mixed times nation. Much like our neighbor Kurona. It's so beautiful too, nothing better than unspolide land."

A bear rumbled out of the woods. It was blue, and looked like a grizzly.

"a blue grizzly." Deuce said.

The blue grizzle had its nose covered in hardend mud, and leaned against a tree, even pressing and pushing it.

CRACK!

The tree fell over, leaving a beehive full of rich honey, and honeycomb, at eye level with the Blue Grizzly, who, despite the protests of the angry green and orange bees, proceeded to eat the beehive.

"Nelsavia has all the creatures of earth, but diffrent colors." deuce said.

"Oh amazing. Blue bear. Well if I wanted to I could make a regular brown bear into a pink one. Well for a short while."

"Oh amazing. Blue bear. Well if I wanted to I could make a regular brown bear into a pink one. Well for a short while."

"these creatures are that way naturally. We're not sure why, they just are. That's the only diffrence though, besides being slightly better than their earth cousins." Deuce said.

He went and took Sakura to the ocean.

He dived head first, and plunged them into the ocean, and though they went deep, water never touched them.

They went through the watery depths to an underwater cave that seemed to stretch forever. A bright flash, and they were in fluidic space.

Creatures larger than entire worlds swam about, amid thousands of smaller creatures.

"Welcome to the section of Fluidic Space known as The Great Ocean." Deuce said.

Sakura opend her eyes from the intesne and scary drop into the ocean. "Wow. Just how big is this place? Looks like you could hide entire cities down here."

Sakura opend her eyes from the intesne and scary drop into the ocean. "Wow. Just how big is this place? Looks like you could hide entire cities down here."

"hahaha, you funny yo. Fluidic Space is a diffrent level of all the universe. There's entire worlds here why stop at cities yo?" Deuce said with mirth.

"We're not on Ri-an, no where near. That was a secret portal to Fluidic Space. Aquamarinians control the region known as the great ocean." Deuce said a little more seriously.

a massive Eel started to swim by. It would take an hour for it to pass by, but of course, they were not going to stay there that long.

"The Eel. Its two light years long. Come, lets go to the capital city and world of Oceania." Deuce said.

They zoomed to a world covered with life. The water was visibly diffrent around the world compared to the rest of Fluidic Space. It was the equivalent of an Atmosphere. A great Coral sglowed with the intensity of a star.

"That star is made of star coral in low amounts it provides a weak glow, like that of a lantern, or torch, only it don't need no fuel. When it gets together and clusters like that, well, you can see it for yourself." Deuce said.

Then the world. It was a watery paradise. Coral of al;l kinds mixed with seaweed and underwater flowers. Buildings were made out of coral on the outside. Inside, it was made out of bricks that looked and felt like pearl, but really wasn't. All bricks were either Black, or white, except fopr the ones that were other colors.

Aquamarinains swam all over the place. The elderly were wrinkled, and slow. the young were small, and quick. Teenagers flirted. But it wasn't just Aquamarinians. Merpeople lived here too. A little merbaby looked at deuce and laughed until it frowned and started to cry to its mother to change it.

"Baby's humor is wack." he said.

Here, they were the odd aliens. Thus, nearly everyone looked and stared at them, mostly out of idle curiosity.

OOC: You ever see that episode of Voyager where they first met species 8472? They went to Fluidic space. This is my version, my own region designed after my dreams. Its as large as an entire galaxy, but only a portion is actually used and habitable.

"Amazing, entire worlds stored within a world. No wonder your nation is so hard to find you've gotta have room for all this. Two light years long? That's..." she tired to figure the math in her head "Really long."

And they thrusted again at a high speed into the water city where she was told about the natural lighted coral.

"Amazing. So these Aquamarines, just what are they? Are they like merpeople, or humans or something else entirely?"

"Amazing, entire worlds stored within a world. No wonder your nation is so hard to find you've gotta have room for all this. Two light years long? That's..." she tired to figure the math in her head "Really long."

And they thrusted again at a high speed into the water city where she was told about the natural lighted coral.

"Amazing. So these Aquamarines, just what are they? Are they like merpeople, or humans or something else entirely?"

"Madam, we are not Merpeople, nor are we human. We are relatives of the Common Octopus, but unlike our cousins, we have evolved into a sentient highly intelligent species. There are currently three species of Aquamarinian. There is the common race, from which I hail. The common race is standerd issue Aquamarinian, having high powers of Psionics. the second race contains only one member, and that is the illustrus King Aqua. King Aqua has highly evolved mind powers, but is unable to have children of his own. At one time there were approximatly 30 of them, all his brothers and sisters.

The last speices is ecxtinct, killed off in civil-war. We killed them deliberatly, and on purpose, with murder our intent from the very beginning. They were the Royal Aquamarinians, and they had extreme Mind powers few could match. They each controlled a number of us by blood, and twisted us to their own purposes, not careing a whit about us individually. They continually fought and warred with each other personally, and using us for their armies. They were physicly unable to come to a peaceful agreement, it was written in their blood. they were the strongest of us all." A nearby Aquamarinian said.

"Well, there you have it, straight from the horses mouth sorta speak." Deuce said.

"oh makes sense."

"oh makes sense."

"We govern democraticly, but have so far had no reason to vote King Aqua out, because he is so skilled." The Aquamarinian said.

"Oh so your Empire has democratic elections? Or is that simply down here, wherever this is."

"Oh so your Empire has democratic elections? Or is that simply down here, wherever this is."

"That's among Aquamarinains only. we serve as the Ri-an government, aiding with starship design, and the ri-an's in turn serve as our basis for dry space exploration. The top most authorities in the government, is the Lady's Ministry, headed by Lady Ri-an herself." The aquamarinai said.

OOC: After Kajeenith takes over its not a split government. Currently, its like the U.S. Gov, only with two branches, each branch being its own seperate mini-nation that cannot exist completly without the other.

After Kajeenith, its Kajeenith rules all and no one objects, because those who do suddenly cease to exist.

"Oh okay thanks for sharing. I'm always very curious about other Empires."

"Oh okay thanks for sharing. I'm always very curious about other Empires."

The Aquamarinian swam away.

"So, wanna go see the current palace, or the old palace first?" Deuce asked.

"Oh, I'd love to see the old palace first."

"Oh, I'd love to see the old palace first."

The rose, and rose, and rose, off the planet, and to the moon. The Palace wesembled five giant octopi, joined at the body. All the wings were all the tenticles spreading out.

A sign above the front gate read:

"Ancient Palace of the Royal Aquamarinains, now Aquamarinain History Mueseum."

Two fully armed Aquamarinians sat infront of the gates. recognising Deuce, they swam aside.

Inside, the walls were decorated with coral that was still alive. It was a natural indoor habitat filled with everything good for aquamarinians to eat. A Beautiful ornate door made entirely of rare black pearl marked the entrance to the old throne room. All around the Throne room, which was very large indeed, sat the entrances to the 40 diffrent wings, each one dedicated to a diffrent period in time.

"Where too?" Deuce asked.

"Wow, well, you can show me the new palace now."

"Wow, well, you can show me the new palace now."

The new palace, once they got there, was filled with life. It wasn't built, but rather grown, slowly, over many centuries, of encouraging and altering Coral growth. Plants and other things marked doorways and passages, and it its center, was a tower built through the coral. Inside was King Aqua, who was busy with the same sort of dull administrative duties Sakura would be busy with back home in her own country.

"Bueatiful just bueatiful. Oh is that the King in there?"

"My name is King Aqua, and I do serve as the centralnexus of the hive mind as well as head of government, but I am of the noble line, also referred to as the Sage line. Remember, we met back on the flying continent." King Aqua said.

"Oh we did. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you at first."

"Oh we did. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you at first."

"Quite alright. Why don't you head back to Ri-an now, unless there's something else you wish to see?" King aqua suggusted.

"Very well. I think I've seen plenty down here."

Water swirled around Sakura. She was alone in the Vortex. It became Dark, and ceased being water. Light came. She was in a cave. Air flowed through passages, and it sounded like someone breathing. Lava flowed through the rock walls, and it was like a heart beating, with blood pumping.

She was in a place the citizens didn't know about, nor did the Aquamarinians. Deuce was born here, but preffered to spend his time in his club.

This was The Lady's Heart, the Exact Geological Core of the World of Ri-an.

Sakura was not in extreme heat, in fact, the temperature was only 70 degrees.

"Welcome." Lady Ri-an said. Her words echoed all around from the world itself.

She formed directly from the world itself, already dressed in a very nice dress.

Sakura found that the granite floor upon which she stoof had become grass.

"I am reformed, and in a moment, we shall go to your nation, I believe you had stated earlier that you too wanted to give a tour." Lady Ri-an said.

"Wow this is the core, it's so cool in here though? It feels like it can't be more than 80 degrees"

It was mentiond it was infact only 70.

"Oh Lady Ri-an." She bowed "Yes, I would love to show you my nation. I'm sure you'll love it, just like I've loved seeing your glorious world."

"Wow this is the core, it's so cool in here though? It feels like it can't be more than 80 degrees"

It was mentiond it was infact only 70.

"Oh Lady Ri-an." She bowed "Yes, I would love to show you my nation. I'm sure you'll love it, just like I've loved seeing your glorious world."

Lady Rian clasped both hands on Sakura's shoulders. Everything went Blindingly intense white for a moment. Then, they were in Sakura's Palace, on top of the roof.

"Whoops, Still not entirely accurate on such long distances." She said.

They suddenly found themselves on the ground, next to the very same fountain the Aquamarinains had slept in during their last visit.

Lady Ri-an now waited for Sakura's lead.

"Heh, gotta work on that I suppose. Anyway, it seems we are on the Palace Grounds so come on in."

She led her inside. "Well you've seen quite a bit of this after comming here last time, but I'll show you a little more. "

She led them into a spacious chamber.

"This is where the Imperial Council Meets to make laws and all that fun stuff. I actully sit here a lot of the time, that is my chair up there."

She pointed to the highest podium.

She pointed to the highest podium.

"Lucky, The most I ever get to participate, is just stating my opinion on something, then the silly government goes and makes a Law out of my opinion. Beautiful craftsmanship on your Council Chambers." Lady Ri-an says.

"Yes they are lovely. As old as the nation it's self. That Pentagram there, was carved the first year this nation was settled. And this moon over here, carved in 1776, and the sun one year later in 1777. And this little thing was me trying to carve a star when I was 6 years old." She lauged. "It's pretty poor you can tell."

"I can understand. A few thousand years ago I tried a new species of Rose." Lady Ri-an said.

She pulled out a rose that looked like a baby had scribbled it into reality.

"If it leaves me, it dies. I don't want it to die." Lady Ri-an said. Somehow, amazingly, it was alive.

"Understandable. Life is precious in all it's forms." She paused for a moment.

"Well anyway come with me." She led Her up the stairs into a large libary.

"Our Imperial Libary, has more books than you can imagin. Including this book, a book of Prophecies. "Many of us in the Hiarchy of this Empire have studied these prophecies and they have all come true. Would you like to see a few?"

"Understandable. Life is precious in all it's forms." She paused for a moment.

"Sure, I'd like to see a few."

She opend the book. "I'll start of with some basics.

A Great Chancelor shall arise up and suduce the population, he will preach the boiling hatred of the minority and will call for their instant elimination, the world will unite against him, and will inturn become devided

"Fortold of World War II, and the rise of Communisim."

From the Chaos of war shall a union emerge; olive branches shall be the enduring symbol

"The United Nations, though M.S. has never had a desire to join. And oh here's something....Witches across space and time shall untie as freinds, two empires are joined in unity the Young Empress of the 21st shall bring harmony I belive that is us. It's the 21st Century and I'm young. And this one here fortells the end of the world:

From the depths of the eath shall arise a great parasite, he will rain down firey desturction from the heavens and all hamnity shall end on the earth.

"Intresting. Oh, what intresting ones can I remember?"

She thought carefully. But then went into an actual trance and gave prophecy on the spot.

"Beware of he who walks in darkness bearing friendship. The Lady of Flowers shall be banished to her bed, and all the worlds shall be wreathed in flames. A ministry of dark intent shall rise, bringing forth that which was once lost.

With the Rise of the man in Darkness, shall" And it was here that Lady Ri-an's voice scrambled, as though speaking many things at once.

Then she went limp, and a moment later, opened her eyes.

"Hmm, I can't seem to remember any prophecy, I don't think we've ever actually had any really." She said, comepletly unaware of what she just said.

OOC: Actually, its just stating that which has already happened, with Kajeenith taking over Ri-an. The Garbled things are things to come.

"Are you all right Lady Ri-an? That didn't sound too good."

"Are you all right Lady Ri-an? That didn't sound too good."

"What? I've done nothing to raise that question, and my memory is certainly intact. Why, you make it sound as if I just gave prophecy right here and now. Certainly I think I would remember such a thing."

OOC: Seriously, she doesn't remember.

"But you did, you zoned out and started incantating a prophecey. It's quite common to have a sudden revelation and not remember a thing, I swear Milady you had a revelation of sort."

"But you did, you zoned out and started incantating a prophecey. It's quite common to have a sudden revelation and not remember a thing, I swear Milady you had a revelation of sort."

"Well, what did I say?" Lady Ri-an asked after thinking it over for a minute or so.

"Uhh, something about beware of someone who comes bearing freindship, worlds wreathed in flames, and a man of darkness rising, something along thoes lines."

"Uhh, something about beware of someone who comes bearing freindship, worlds wreathed in flames, and a man of darkness rising, something along thoes lines."

"Well, you came bearing friendship." Lady Ri-an said.

"But I have no ill will towards you milady. Non what so ever."

"But I have no ill will towards you milady. Non what so ever."

"Well, perhaps I will remember it in due time. Perhaps it was meant for you." Lady Ri-an said.

"Could it have been? You know what I won't worry about it right now. Please we have so little to see and so much time, wait a minute, scratch that, reverse it." She laughed at her own joke.

"Oh why don't you take a look out this window, right there in the harbor you'll see a gated off section, that is where Empress Machiko Honda lived, well on a boat house, it was there for years untill a bad storm swept it away one Fall, my fault really, every Emperor and Empress has been encharge of keeping the spell to hold it in place, and my magic just wasn't strong enough. Oh and here's another fact you know there are no sharks in the Xanadouien Sea, there haven't been since the Reign of Empress Yoko Honda."

She paused to see if Lady Ri-an would respond. She was now worried that telling of the prophecy she just heard might be making her very suspicious of Sakura. Sakura had no ill desires to harm the Lady, all she wanted was a Freind for M.S.

"Oh and well this isn't a the best thing but it's part of our history, you know in this room Chancellor Kotobuki made some of his worst proposals when he took emergecy powers from me. Later I'll show you the spot where I duled him."

"Could it have been? You know what I won't worry about it right now. Please we have so little to see and so much time, wait a minute, scratch that, reverse it." She laughed at her own joke.

"For the boathouse, was the effort of going back in time and doing the spells before the storm too much of an effort?" asked Lady Ri-an who didn't know why such temporal measures were in place to protect such a delicate piece of national history."

Then on Chancellor Kotobuki she simply asked "Emergency powers?" she thought they were something akin to magic.

It was as though all thoughts of the prophecy were simply gone from her mind.

This was the absolute truth too, since she was linked into the Hive mind of the Aquamarinians, and they were studying the prophecy extensivly and had determined that Sakura did not fit the bill of walking in darkness bearing friendship, especially since she didn't fit the man part.

"What you mean Time Travel? Oh very hard task of us to do. Unless you are a Space-Time Witch or Wizard. That would be the title you would have if you worked in the Government here. Oh and what I mean is Political Powers, you see I got sick, really sick. In the event that I Dided the Chancellor would take my place, of course Seishiro was a very powerhungry nationalist so that ended up in disaster."

Shron appeared next to Lady Ri-an.

"What do you mean you wanted me to appear right here right now before you forgot what you were thinking of?" he asked completly confused.

Lady Ri-an turned to Shron confused.

"I never said anything like that, I only just had the idea of you helping Sakura bring back Empress Machiko Honda's Boat House, but I wasn't going to do anything until I thought it over further." Lady Ri-an said, completly confused.

"Ahh, divergent timelines, divergent timelines. Silly Temporal mechanics.

I get the picture.

Lady Sakura, in another Timeline which ceased to exist with my sudden appearence here, Lady Ri-an decided to have me help you go back in time to recast some protective spells before a house was blown away or something like that, that caused you to lose a national treasure.

I can help you do that if you so desire. I am the master Time Sorcerer." Shron said.

Lady Ri-an blinked in abstract confusion.

"Right. Something like that yes."

"Right. Something like that yes."

"Well, then when should I spell us back to?" asked Shron preparing to do a Temporal Teleportation.

"1st of October last earth year."

"1st of October last earth year."

Shron grabbed her hand. Suddenly, everything stopped. Then went in reverse. she saw Herself and Lady Ri-an walk backwards the way they came. Sakura and Shron passed harmlessly though the walls, and through the atmosphere, as all of everything backtracked one complete Earth Revolution. Then the Earth rounded the Sun, and cam back. They passed through all barriers, and landed an entire hour before Sakura needed to cast the spells. Then everything froze. Sakura heard a massive clang as The STC began moving forward again.

They were invisible to all, save extremly powerful Magic detection.

"You have one hour." was all Shron said.

"That's all I need." She ran to the Harbor the sky was already clouded over, the results of the horrofic storm of M.S. neighbor was already in full effect and it was shooting mini storms into M.S. There was nothing she could do for them although she wanted to. If she did the spell to protect the site and tried weather controll she might kill her self or at least drive herself to insanity.


She stood atop the highest spot and began to incantate a sheild incased the the tiny boat house of the Empress from time ago. "There I did it."


"I did it!" She said cheerfully.

She stood atop the highest spot and began to incantate a sheild incased the the tiny boat house of the Empress from time ago. "There I did it."


"I did it!" She said cheerfully.

And with that, Time Fast Forwarded.

They shot back through any obsticals and back into space, where they watched the Earth and all of space fast forward to present time. The Sun Flashed white and encompassed all of everything. When it faded, they were with Lady Ri-an, looking out the window.

Of course with a slightly diffrent year, somethings would be diffrent.

"Something changed, I can't quite figure out what, we were just having a conversation, funny, can't remember that either. Then Shron appeared, whicked you away from somewhere, and right in the middle of telling me about Empress Machiko Honda's Boat House out there. I see it managed to weather its fair share of pretty bad storms." Lady Ri-an said.

"Yes. Every Emperor and Empress cares for it. In the event a sever storm or a hurricane hits port, we put a defensive barrier around it. I still remeber, Last year I wasn't able to because I wasn't strong enough, but someone took it upon themselves to do it. I admire whoever did that, I admire them greatly. You see Empress Honda was the only Empress to reside in a boat house that's why it's so special. Part of our history."

You see Empress Honda was the only Empress to reside in a boat house that's why it's so special. Part of our history."

"Wow. So what's next on the tour?" Lady Ri-an asked.

Shron smiled as he left without notice.

"Come, I'll take you outside." The moved out into the Garden. "Well this is the Imperial Garden, pretty isn't it, naturally the Cherry Blossom blooms here. Right here is where I duled Chancellor Kotobuki into submission. That tree right there, I fell out of it when I was 7, and broke my arme. I cried for hours but my mother held me and reassured me that I was okay."

She tapped her staff on the ground and they were moving with out the effort of their feet, they moved into the city. "This is our glorious capital and as you can see the Cherry Trees are in full bloom right now. Oh if only you could see this during the Oka Festival, that's when it's really full of life and festivity."

An apple seller's face filled with excitment. "Your majesty, it's so good to see you."

"Thank you."

"Oh please take a bushel of my freshest apples."

"Oh how very kind of you."

"Who is your guest?"

"This is Lady Ri-an, of Ri-an."

"Oh it's a pleasure Milady."

"Come, I'll take you outside." The moved out into the Garden. "Well this is the Imperial Garden, pretty isn't it, naturally the Cherry Blossom blooms here.

"Oh how very kind of you."

"Who is your guest?"

"This is Lady Ri-an, of Ri-an."

"Oh it's a pleasure Milady."

Lady Ri-an smiled.

"Here, take a Giple seed. Its like an apple, only 3 times the size. It grows very easy, and is very juicy. Only one per every hundred square feet. Otherwise, grow like an apple orchard. The giple tree grows Red yellow, green, and even a few purple Giples on the same tree." Lady Ri-an said giving the man a Giple seed the size of a walnut.

"Oh thank you Milady, hey you two have a wonderful day."

"Very kind of you. Yes almost everyone is freindly around here some do need a little help, I do what I can for who I can."

"Good morning your Grace."

"Good morning."

"Though I can't really walk the streets w/o being noticed and greeted. Much to the dismay of my security forces. Oh right here is the National Entertainment Arena, we host everything here there's also a mini cinema theater inside, and a book store. Oh and these may look like ordinary telphone booths because they are ordinary phone booths. No I'm only kidding, in fact they are semi-teleporters can take us anywhere in the country. Come."

They both squeezed inside the booth. Sakura picked up the phone.

she dialed 62442.

"Honshu Village."

Please Stand by and prepare for departure

The phone booth shot off into the sky into space. "Whoops too far. Sorry, I'll be sure to let the Imperial Maitencne Crew know this thing's a little glitchy."

The booth went back down to earth and cruised along north over the tree tops.

"Oh thank you Milady, hey you two have a wonderful day."

"Very kind of you. Yes almost everyone is freindly around here some do need a little help, I do what I can for who I can."

The booth went back down to earth and cruised along north over the tree tops.

"Intresting. We use something similar. We use Warp points that connect one place to another. I'll construct one and show you after the tour." Lady Ri-an said.

"Oh wonderful." The booth came to a stop.

"Here we are, Honshu Village."

The village was small and didn't have any modern look to it. "Through the world, there are pockets of villages like these. Kanami has them, our neighbor Kurona has them, most nations with culture like ours have them. They have no care for modern things."

Several small children ran by "In more Western World Cultures they would be likend to Amish, but they aren't really the same thing. These people don't mind photography at all, many use it, but they are generally non-violent people, in the politcal world they would be isolationist parties, but these people would honestly love the world to join them."

"Oh Lady Sakura." A young woman draped in a Kimono came up to Sakura and Ri-an

"Good to see you again Nadishko."

"I hope you have been doing well Milady?" Nadishko asked

"Indeed I have. Your ginseen herbs have helped."

"I'm sorry where are my manners, who might your guest be?"

"Lady Ri-an, she's a visiting dignatari."

"Welcome to our village Lady Ri-an."

"Oh wonderful." The booth came to a stop.

"Indeed I have. Your ginseen herbs have helped."

"I'm sorry where are my manners, who might your guest be?"

"Lady Ri-an, she's a visiting dignatari."

"Welcome to our village Lady Ri-an."

"It is a pleasure." Said Lady Ri-an.

"Is This Village the Farthest point away from your Castle that you still control?" Lady Ri-an asked Sakura.

"Yes, but the people here a suprisingly abiding. They are semi-automonous and because they don't break the law and they are pacifistic we trust them enough."

"Yes, but the people here a suprisingly abiding. They are semi-automonous and because they don't break the law and they are pacifistic we trust them enough."

Lady Ri-an nodded. She knelt and grabbed and handful of dirt

It shimmered, and became a Gold Orb. Then she knelt and replaced it in the soil. The Orb grew a great long twenty foot pole. The pole bent in the middle and landed five feet away, making an Archway.

She grabbed the poles and cast a teleport spell strong enough to move an entire city. Space warped around the poles and bent. Through the Archway one could see Sakura's castle.

"This is a Warp point. It connects Two points. In this case, the village, and just a little ways away from your Castle. Step through and your instantly there." Lady rI-an said in explaination of her earlier statement about using Warp Points.

"Oh thank you. That will make it easier for us and the village to conduct business."

"I'll make sure to write downj how its done before we part." Lady Ri-an said.

She rejoined Sakura.

"Also, you may wish to designate some unimportant area as a Warp Hub, to have all Gates go there. Or have a system. Whatever you decide, its all up to you."

"Amazing. That will really be helpful for the places we can't reach by flying phone booth. Anyway..."

"Your Highness..." A young child asked

"What can I do for you?"

"We need someone to jump rope with, would you?"

"Sure."

"Would you like to try too miss? You could also turn the rope."

"Amazing. That will really be helpful for the places we can't reach by flying phone booth. Anyway..."

"Your Highness..." A young child asked

"What can I do for you?"

"We need someone to jump rope with, would you?"

"Sure."

"Would you like to try too miss? You could also turn the rope."

"sure." Lady Ri-an said.

"Best way to keep your people liking you, relate to them on their level. Imperial tip #220.

Sakura stood right in the middle it was double dutch rope she jumped as the little kids did the chant She made almost 30 jumps before striking the rope.

"Now it's your turn."

"Best way to keep your people liking you, relate to them on their level. Imperial tip #220.

Sakura stood right in the middle it was double dutch rope she jumped as the little kids did the chant She made almost 30 jumps before striking the rope.

"Now it's your turn."

Lady Ri-an went to 46. then she smiled, and in the smile was an unsounded challenge.

Can you do better?

"Just watch." Sakura managed a jump of 50.

"Thank you for playing with us, your majesty."

"Your welcome."

The children ran home, and Sakura usherd Ri-an back to the phone booth. "I never would have guessed you were that good a jump roap."

"Just watch." Sakura managed a jump of 50.

"Thank you for playing with us, your majesty."

"Your welcome."

The children ran home, and Sakura usherd Ri-an back to the phone booth. "I never would have guessed you were that good a jump roap."

"I've had 2,000 years of practice. Children love me."

"Well I guess 2,000 years helpes a lot more than 12 years. The Children certianly took fond of you."

They set down in a canyon. "Welcome to Dragon Valley." One flew over them. "Woo, here we have some of the largest Dragons and the finest Dragon Tamers. This area was first discoverd by Emperor Koto Mashimo in 1622, bit of a nasty shock when he found out."

"Your Highness welcome, what can we do today?"

"I'm showing my Guest around the nation. This is my guest Lady Ri-an. Would you please take us to Ember Cave."

"Oh Ember Cave. Certianlly. Now Milady Ri-an, as you are unfamilar with the place Ember Cave is where we keep and tame the most fearsome of dragons, in the past many have been killed but since then we have learned how to use power to submit them, as easily as possible with a minimum of fuss. Little Pain, equals less tempromental."

They entered a cave walked down a long hall into a observation deck.

"This is where we coordinate all our taming stratagies here, I can also coordinate the other caves through the canyon, but I much perfer to be in the field taming. But for today, I think I will just remain here and coordiante. Our tamers today, yes, Michiko Honda, Yuske Kamio, and Kazu Kirishma, you will be in for a real show. All right you three today I will be directing you from the deck, the Empress is here so let's keep the profanity down. All right gate keeper allow subject-424 enter."

The gate opend and out steped a giant winged dragon.

"You see," Sakura said to Ri-an, "It's necisary to tame the dragons because they may fly over Oka or other towns and villages and burn them to the ground, they did this a lot in the past untill Emperor Mashimo decided to start the Imperial Dragon Tamers or IDT as we call it."

The dragon breathed fire.

"I can't say enough your highness Thank God for Heat Sheilds. Watch your selves down there."


The dragon was calmed down finally and lied down. "Tamed."

"Dragons are really amazing creatures."

"Well I guess 2,000 years helpes a lot more than 12 years. The Children certianly took fond of you."

They set down in a canyon. "Welcome to Dragon Valley." One flew over them. "Woo, here we have some of the largest Dragons and the finest Dragon Tamers. This area was first discoverd by Emperor Koto Mashimo in 1622, bit of a nasty shock when he found out."

"This is where we coordinate all our taming stratagies here, I can also coordinate the other caves through the canyon, but I much perfer to be in the field taming. But for today, I think I will just remain here and coordiante. Our tamers today, yes, Michiko Honda, Yuske Kamio, and Kazu Kirishma, you will be in for a real show. All right you three today I will be directing you from the deck, the Empress is here so let's keep the profanity down. All right gate keeper allow subject-424 enter."

The gate opend and out steped a giant winged dragon.

"You see," Sakura said to Ri-an, "It's necisary to tame the dragons because they may fly over Oka or other towns and villages and burn them to the ground, they did this a lot in the past untill Emperor Mashimo decided to start the Imperial Dragon Tamers or IDT as we call it."

The dragon breathed fire.

"I can't say enough your highness Thank God for Heat Sheilds. Watch your selves down there."


The dragon was calmed down finally and lied down. "Tamed."

"Dragons are really amazing creatures."

"These must be the Evil Dragons then. I knew a group of Evil dragons had been stripped of their ability to speak and were banished somewhere, I had no idea this was that place." Lady Ri-an said.

She pulled out an Amulet out of her robes. It bore a symbol on it that would cause every single Dragon in the cave to back away from her slowly, simply out of fear and respect. It bore a single Platnium Scale.

"They won't harm me, they've been forbidden too. And they won't simply because if they do, they will die with their very next breath." Lady Ri-an said.

But would the trainers or Sakura know who the Platnium Dragon was? Did they know of Bahamut, King and God of the good dragons?

"Hmm we really aren't sure where the dragons came from. They were here when we got here and that's all we know."

"Hmm we really aren't sure where the dragons came from. They were here when we got here and that's all we know."

"Hmm, I cannot help you, but I have a friend who can. He will be waiting for you at your castle whenever we return. You may wish to inform your guards that you are expecting as a guest, a rich foreign Nobleman and his wife, both clad in very rich clothing. The Man, will be dressed from head to toe in Garments of Platnium, and the woman will be dressed in clothes of Red, Green, Black, White, amd Blue." Lady Ri-an said.

(Can't post much tonight I'm afraid)

"Very well. Hi it's me, please inform the guards we will be having company soon." Sakura described what she was told. "Thank you for the sit in."

"Oh it's been my pleasure Your Majesty, and Your Majesty Ri-an, I hope you will visit us in Magic Sorcery again."

"Oh it's been my pleasure Your Majesty, and Your Majesty Ri-an, I hope you will visit us in Magic Sorcery again."

Back at the castle, those very same people appear, as though out of nowhere. They promptly find a comfortable chair and sit in it.

"I plan on visiting again sometime in the future." Lady RI-an said.

OOC:DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND MY CONTROL, I AM LEAVING FOR NEARLY AN ENTIRE WEEK. MY GRANDMOTHER IS ON HER DEATH BED, AND IT MAY BE THE LAST TIME I EVER SEE HER ALIVE. THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

Just so you know if I don't post for awhile.

"I plan on visiting again sometime in the future." Lady RI-an said"


"Wonderful to hear."

"Wonderful to hear."

"So, where to next?" Lady Ri-an asked.
