Her face had become rather bleak for the moment. Lost in thought again at to what she had dreamed about. The carnivorous fight that had ensued between Kiia and Kunna was rather deadly and the two could have lost their lives. Hell, they staked them the moment the younger had declared a match of wits and strength. But sadly, they both fell. A tie. And since that day, both of them have not raised their swords again to determine a winner....wait. Wasn't Kiia on the phone? She scowled a little at her idiocy to be so scatter-brained and she pressed her cell to her ear tightly to answer her.
"Just wait for me, please. I'll be right over."
With that, Kiia snapped the phone shut and rised back to her feet. She grabbed a pair of grubby dark blue demin jeans and quickly tugged them on, even hopped a bit to maybe perhaps speed the dressing process. A simple tanktop already occupied her top frame so she pulled out her Converse shoes out from her little closet and placed them on her feet. Shoelaces tied. And out her room she went. Her jaded hues looked over towards the coffee table and sure enough, a few sheets of her white paper laid neatly in a pile. The girl whipped a black gel pen from her left pocket and quickly scribbled a note to her sire, saying she would be out for awhile and to be back soon. A P.S. also stated to call if she was needed and sent her love. Kiia was then satisfied with the bit of work and grinned lightly and left it on the table for the older woman. She adored Tif with great care and though she did not show her feelings all the time...she was a sweet, caring vampire. Kiia opened the front doorway and stepped out into the night air, a cold gust of wind lapped at her dark chocolate locks and face. She cringed back a little, almost hesitant to leave the comfort of her sweet sanctuary. But...the young 'piress felt a tug on her heart, and it needed to be answered.
Walk, walk, walk. If only Kiia had her motorcyle, this trip would have taken maybe only a few moments. Now it felt like forever in a night's end as she finally was closing in on her destination. The Manor was still the same. Dark, creepy, and just absolutely wonderful to the girl. With a smirk, she approached the door with silent strides and knocked. She did not just to enter abruptly, for she was a guest. Key or no. So, Kiia waited to be answered. Both the door and her dream.

As Leasollette's hand made contact with Ebony's cheek and the loud smack echoed through the room, her eyes grew wide with shock. This was not a response that she had expected from her sister and she also forgot to keep her thoughts in check as Leas could always tell what Ebony was thinking whether she liked it or not. Not saying a word as she listened to her words and nodding softly as she understood what her sister had to say. Following behind Leasolette quietly. The emotions were high between all of them and it was making Ebony all the more manic than normal. She hated being an empath but there wasn't anything that she could do about it...right now all she concentrated on herself so if her siblings could feel her reaching out emotionally that they wouldn't think that she was invading.
Looking at Leasollette when she looked up at her. She hated that there were tears in her eyes but Ebony couldn't fix that as she knew that Leas was upset. All of the kids took it hard when Kunna enter to her eternal slumber but Ebony and Leasollette vocalized it a bit more and Ebony wished that there was something that she could do to help her but she was unsure as to what would help. Hell...she was sure that the others looked at her badly as Ebony was the only one with Kunna as she slipped away. There were times that Ebony wondered how many of the siblings were upset with that fact but she was glad that no one had mentioned anything to her as it was only Kunna and Daman that kept her from going to sleep with Kunna...there was a promise that was made but she failed to keep it and this was going to be her chance to try and correct it...it all depended on Kunna if they succeeded. They needed her back.

Leasollette huffed out a breath of cold air in a sigh as she wiped the bloody tears from her face and looked at Ebony, "We better get going, does anyone have any scrolls?" She said as she looked dumbfoundedly at the clean clothes she was wearing. She definitely didn't want a repeat of the trip-in-muddy-swap of which her friend Chaos had gratefully pulled her out of... She doubted Ebony wanted to run back there either. Dirty trick her twin played, both literally and metaphorically, Aristos knew their sister wasn't the outdoors type and Leasollette wasn't exactly one either. Her mind had been made up ages ago, so there could be no questions of her next action. She was going to back to the Vampyren Coterie Scion and into the Gardens where her mother lay whether the others decided to follow her or not.
This time, there would be no more tears. She wasn't going to cry anymore she was older than that, what 2000 plus years now?
With a slightly more sympathetic smile shot in her sister's direction, Leasollette couldn't help but apologize, she'd rarely slapped her sister, and when she did, it was usually under stressing situations. Realising the wrong in her actions, Leasollette would most likely go crazy otherwise. "Ebony... I'm sorry... But don't ever think things like that, you are my sister, my family, I want you here, and if that's not enough then..." The pyress paused and shook her head not really wishing to finish the sentence. She wasn't quite sure how to finish it either. "Ebby? Let's just go home and find momma, okay?" She said softly in the meek, shy tone she came into the City with.
"I'm not going back through that mush. You can forget that." The pyress stated in a some what flat, yet firm tone. "Regretfully, I don't have an teleportation scrolls..." Leasollette sighed yet again as her glance moved to the ground and from her sister repeatedly as the frustration continued to well up inside til the point her ghostly complexion had ever slightly been tainted by the lively colors of burgundy shades of red and rose pink. Shades so uncharacteristic to her kind as having never been human or one of the living, but perpetually and from the beginning, one of the undead. Leasollette's mind wandered to her Grandmum, the woman she had found refuge in as she was breaking into millions of pieces at the time of when the news first hit her, of whom she hoped to be okay.
Leasollette replayed one of her first conversations after she found out Kunna was gone... There's always a point...where one achieves all there is...and then it is time to rest for the next life. Her mind reached farther. Roses, she was remembering yet another silent promise she had made to herself and Kunna though she might not have heard it..I want you have to these. I'll put them in water when I get home...I wanted mamma to see these blue roses herself, but I guess this just goes to show you can't always get what you want, but that's okay. She sees them... Oh, I hope so! I know so I'll be working on black roses soon. I'll give some of them to mummy when I do. Ooo, those will be gorgeousShe smiled at the thought as she continued to remember more...when she froze with the corners of her mouth drawing upward into an eerie, ghostlike smile that wasn't natural... not for her, as she remembered the melody her grandmum had sang to her. She repeated its tune in her thoughts as she hummed it out loud in an almost ethereal tone that matched the creepiness of her smile. Now that I've decided not to stay I can feel me start to fade away Everything is back where it belongs I will be beside you before longThe final words the pyress remembered before her depart that night echoed through her mind, Be well childe...
Leasollette, if not for herself, would do anything she could to make her grandmother, sister, and everyone happy, even if it meant she'd be hated for it. ::: I'll bring her back... ::: she said unconsciously to Persephone as her heart continued to sink in her chest. A slight confused look crossed Leasollette's face when she realised she'd contacted her grandmum by mistake... oops. At this point, Leasollette could only shake her head and chide herself silently for her carelessness as eventually, the entire City will be awaken to the news. The pyress hoped with every essense of her being that everything would be okay, though she herself was not always 100% sure.

Kira had been lost to the family for a long time, her phone had sat on the table beside her bed for quite a long time. The phone had been sitting there so long the young woman didn't even know if it had any life left. But now as she wanders into the room from the hall of the abandoned apartment building she had been calling home she wonders.
"Do they remember...?" she asks the cheetah at her side. The cat stares up at her with large golden eyes, knowing eyes. The bird like girl smiles, her lips parting in a grimace that had taken roost on her face. "Let's see shall we?" she murmurs as she takes up the phone, finding it with a full battery. Maybe it hadn't been that long after all. Kira rubs her fingers over the worn key pad before finding Lea's number, the only one she had. She chews on her bottom lip as she carefully types out a text.
Lea? What's going on..? How's Mom..? --Kira The text was simple and it worried Kira a little. She hadn't seen a great many people and places since she had fallen from the loss of her husband and taken up in this abandoned apartment. She had caught wind of her mother's passing but she wanted to be told, she wanted Leasolette to tell her her. Somebody... anybody at all.
Kira stares at the little envelope that told her the message had been sent for a long time, standing over the table for what seemed like hours. Finally though Keelala nudges her in the back of the knees. "I know Kee.." she murmurs and sets the phone down, sinking into the small bed she had salvaged from one of the other rooms. The bird like woman folds her hands behind her head, fingers brushing over the soft layer of raven down at the nape of her neck, stroking the reminder.
A huff escapes the girl's lips as Keelala jumps onto the bed at her feet, sprawling over the edge. "Lea better respond soon Keelala, otherwise I'm going out in search for her myself..." she says, her voice like a trilling of bells in the silence of the apartment building.

Nodding softly as she watched Leasollette not saying much to keep her from getting upset once again. Reaching down to slip her hands into her pockets, Ebony realized that she had changed into her yoga jumpsuit and there weren't any pockets. Cursing herself for not staying in her jeans and only changing her shoes, she looked up at Leasollette and shook her head. Why hadn't she planned a head like she always did?? "I'm sorry Leas...I don't even have pockets. I didn't think about it when I left the house because I was trying to make sure that Ari didn't leave without me."
She straightened out her zip up hoodie with a gentle sigh escaping her lips. Slowly she moved towards the door only to see the desk in the corner. Looking back at Leasollette when she began to talk once more. A gentle smile graced upon her lips as she turned to face it. She could tell that Leasollette was upset that she had slapped her and Ebony was going to let Leasollette speak her mind. "Leas...it's okay. I promise to not think so negatively." She turned back and moved to the desk. Searching through the drawers and found a couple Scrolls of Teleportation. Excitedly she turned back to Leasollette as said to 'Let's just go home and find Momma, okay?' A smile upon her face as she nodded only to giggle when Leasollette said that she wasn't going back through the marsh. "I'm not either because I just found some SoTeles. We can pay Jacomo back later."
Feeling a wave of frustration that wasn't of her own wash over her, she turned and felt out her siblings to find out which one was the one that was distraught. As it came to her that it was Leasollette, Ebony walked over to her and wrapped her arms around her and kissed her forehead softly while running a hand over her hair and back. "Everything will be okay. We will have Momma back before we know it and all will be well again. I promise Leasollette, I promise." Pulling back from her sister, she passed her siblings a scroll. "Let's go home and get our Momma back. Hell maybe more of the siblings will be home to help."
It was amazing that her mind was suddenly filled with all of the memories of their mother. All of the good times, bad times, and the support that they gave each other between companions, clans, and deaths. There was so much that they had gone through together only for it to end with a punishment that Ebony hated taking but took without question as Kunna killed her only to sever her from the family. When Kunna had told Ebony to meet her at the Hall of Binding, she didn't know at the time that it was because Kunna would no longer be with them for long. Siring back to Kunna and then never leaving her side even to go to her husband, Ebony had the feeling that something was off and the more that Kunna talked with her...she knew the fate of her mother. Tears welled up in her eyes but hiding them, she broke the seal of the scroll. Slowly she read the ancient words upon the parchment only to think of their home and school as she spoke the final words. As the final word was spoken, she vanished only to reappear in the foyer of the school. Patiently she waited for her brother and sister.

Kira stared at the phone for an hour before she decided to get up and change. She pushes Keelala off the bed and moves to her backpack, the same one she had first arrived at the house with. She digs through the pack and pulls on a pair of jeans riddled with holes, but they still fit well, and a black shirt with random scrolling red lines splattered across it. She grabs her phone and slings her bag over her shoulder, abandoning the apartment building for her true home. Keelala slips into the hall before her and leads her out into the night.
When Kira comes up to the front gates of the mansion her breath catches in her chest, her breathing coming in gasps. She lets a long sigh slip past her lips before she pushes the gate open and follows Keelala in, her hand deep within the cats fur as they walked. She steps onto the top step and knocks, yes she actually knocked.
She chews on her bottom lip and turns to look at the grounds, waiting for the door to her home to be answered. Deja vu much, just like the first time she arrived at the school... It had been a long time..

As faint as silver bell no bigger than a small red berry, the kind that grew on the beautiful and deceitfully lethal evergreen known as a Holly tree, Leasollette's head turned in the midst of the Foyer as her ears perceived the knocking on the doors behind her. Her head inclined towards the source of disturbed silence and with out a single hesitation her feet had place her in front of the school's immense double doors as a sudden jerk would allow them to open once her bony hands took grip of their handles. When the doors opened Leasollette took to an old habit of repetitive blinking before a soft smile tugged at the corners of her lip. "Kira"
Leasollette stepped back to allow her sister in with a slightly pained expression of mixed happiness and bitter misery, the usual combination now a days, does wanders to worsen your nightly insomnia. As if the thought had reaches her a moment to late Leasollette's eyes travelled down the halls to where her room had been positioned in the school's expansive structure. She'd rarely had her cell phone on her lately. Partially because no one ever called her, or texted her. Except for possibly 2 people, not including her twin, interaction with Aristos was inevitable, Leasollette didn't hold many numbers in the small compact device.
The pyress tilted her head waywardly in several directions before she managed to summons the small device from outside of her room... One new text, Kira. In that instance Leasollette's heart sank. She should have kept it within her possession during times such as these but it never occurred to the Pyress that someone would actually try to contact her any more. She knew not enough people to anticipate it. "I'm so sorry.." She whispered as her mismatched hue looked up to her little sister, the need to look up constantly when talking to people becoming increasingly awkward for the girl. "What did you need? And--" She stuttered and swallowed her breath to keep the bleeding tears from escaping her eyes again, she gathered her words and then finally spoke.
"She's here... but not here. I mean..." Leasollette looked down and her expression turned cross as she chided herself for being unable to draw the words out of her. "She's dead and buried, in the Gardens here... I'm going to bring her back."

Kira frowned and she shook her head, normally fierce green eyes closing. "Dead...?" she whimpered, though she already knew it. She had felt it long ago. She opens her eyes again in shock as Lea said her last phrase.
"Bring her back? Lea... how are you going to do that..?" she asks, the creases in her forehead deepening as she stepped in past her sister. It felt weird to be back in the school.. it had been a while. She reached down to make sure her phone was still in her pocket and then she placed her hand to Keelala's back, returning her gaze to Lea.
"How..?" she asked softly, her normally trilling voice nothing but a whisper now. Keelala meows softly, her head nudging Kira in the thigh, pushing her out of the rain filled entrance.

She heard the knock at the door shortly after they arrived back at the school. Turning at the same moment Leasollette did and tilted her head as she watched her sister move towards the door. As the door opened, she craned her neck to get a better look and there stood their little sister Kira. Ebony instantly felt hurt and sad that she wasn't in better communication with her siblings, hell she barely talked to her brother that she happened to be married to. Kira was one that she should have talked with especially since she was one of Ebony's students and yet she neglected so many. Taking a deep breath as she tried to bring her thoughts back as they were there for a reason as they had a task that needed to be completed.
Walking over to the door, smiling at Kira before she nodded to Leasollette. Ebony was glad that Kira was here as it would be nice to have a few more of their siblings around when they brought their mother back as it would hopefully help Kunna when her eyes laid upon her children. Wrapping her arm around Leasollette and then looking back towards Kira.
"What she says is true...I was there when it happened. Momma decided that it was better to leave us and go to sleep but Leasollette has a plan to bring her back. I am helping her and you are more than welcome to come along and help to. We need Momma and I'm sure that she would much rather visit us in a corporeal body opposed to her spirit form that I always see her in. What do you say...want to help us?"
She wasn't sure as to how their little sister would take to the news about their mother being dead and buried. Ebony did hope that she would take it slightly better than Leasollette and Ebony did but she was hearing about this so late that it would probably back fire on them. The thought of them bring Kunna back would hopefully comfort Kira but then at the same time how would the rest of the family take to the news that they were forcing Kunna back. She didn't care what they thought...she was now with Leasollette and agreed with her...Kunna was coming back.
Slowly Ebony pulled away from Leasollette and started to walk down the hall. She was anxious to get their mother back...she needed their mother back. There was so much that she needed to talk to their mother about...it just... Shaking her head as she shoved the thoughts away as she wasn't going to let herself get distracted anymore than she already was. Picking up her pace as she made her way through the halls, slowly her pace pulled into a gentle jog and even though she didn't run as she hated, truly hated to run, the feeling that their mother was close...Ebony had to get to the garden.
As she walked out the back door, her pace slowed to an almost crawl. There before her was the headstone of their mother. The tears started to flow as she hadn't been to the grave sight since the wedding and then Daman had his talk with Kunna that later joined him for, it was almost too emotional for her but she pulled herself back together. Ebony took a seat down on the ground before the headstone as she waited for her sisters

Kira stares at her sisters, wrapping her arms around her hips tight. She shakes her head as she listens to Ebony but Keelala meowed in agreement. Kira shoots her a look before bringing her head up to watch Ebony go down the hallway...
With a look to Lea and then to Keelala the small bird like girl takes off down the hall after Ebony, the sleep sure footed cheetah at her side. Like Ebony Kira slowed to a walk as she approached the garden, her footsteps echoing beside the soft pads of Keelala's feet. She hadn't been to her mother's grave yet... and it scared her a little. Kira had barely even said goodbye to her brother of long ago, who was in a jar in her new home.
A whimper bubbles from her lips, to which she answers with a hand over her mouth. She saw Ebony sitting before the stone, and Kira felt her chest clench, only taking a step toward the place by a nudge from Keelala. She stumbles down the final steps to the garden floor and collapses beside her sister, her knuckles lying in the grass around the stone.

"I'll bring her back" The words whispered, they flitted across her mind, dancing across her consciousness as she turned the knob of the door, allowing the woman to enter. She knew Koz would be joining her momentarily.
"They're bringing her back Kiia...I can feel it...I heard it. We have to get there, to her school." Those obsidian orbs fell beyond the woman before her, looking beyond her, through her perhaps even. The words were spoken in a tone, quite unlike the woman, it was the voice of the Oracle not the siress, not the friend.
"We...we have to go."
As she spoke she felt his presence behind her, her hand reached back taking his own. "Koz, hold tight." She was taking them all to Kunna's school, to where her daughter was buried beneath the ground. Hidden from view, and from the pains and burdens of the world that had so plagued her.

Leasollette turned on her heels when she saw her sister head for the garden's a quick call after her sister left her worried until she saw Kira dart after her. The pyress was made to sprint across the expanse as she tried to gain ground on Ebony and Kira, "Hey wait for me you two!"
The girl squeaked in that shrill, childish tone with a pause in her steps as her posture straightened to a halt and she looked with her head turned behind her. Some one was coming, more people? It didn't matter Leasollette decided, it was now inevitable what would take place in her mother's school, even if it meant she'd be damned twice.
With a quick jolt in her step she disappeared behind a wall to cover more ground. With Ebony in view Leasollette tapped her sister on the shoulder and bit her bottom lip as a tinge of silver and red hair meshed together. "Don't just take off like that silly... you scared me."

[ Sorry about the belated reply | I was busy with life ]
Fabians hooves against the ground sounded like clapping thunder, waking everything in their path, leaving no small stone unturned, the beast raced through woods that surrounded the school. As the approached the rusted gates, Fay lifted his body, suddenly doubling in size before the gates, his heavy hooves rained down upon the steel, slamming the gates open. They continued forward, the animal half climbing the marble steps that lead into the school, a place Jacomo had done his best to leave in the past was now the place he would welcome the future. His fingers were frozen, it was not the normal chill of death his dead body harboured, but that of the nights icy breeze biting at his skin as he rode. He found it hard to let go of the reins as he lifted his leg to sweep it behind his body, once again slipping from the animals back. His foot searched blindly for the hard ground, meeting it with a light thud, he twisted his fingers about Fays mane before clapping his hand against the horses neck, signalling that he was now free to do as he pleased with the rest of the night.
Jacomo then turned and walked towards the large double doors that locked the world out from the school. He stood before them deep in thought, it was far too hard to block the memories that lived so instilled within him, thoughts that stung him like a thousand bees; they were relentless. He pressed his hands against the wooden divide and on contact they burned, but it was all in his head. His cold breath washed over his chest as he bowed his head and pushed against the door in attempt to open them, but just as they had been left, they still remained, locked. It was then that he found the small cut of cold steel burn in his pocket, a key that would open the doors, a key he had never quite been able to melt down or throw away. The tall figure pulled the burning steel from his pocket, bringing it into view. His violet gaze washed over the cut of metal, tracing it slowly, what if the locks had been changed? He asked himself, but there was only one answer, only one way to find out. The key tumbled against his fingers as he lined it up, pushing it into the lock. Relief washed over him as he heard the click of the locked device unhinge, opening the door, it was like finding that impossible last part to a ten thousand-piece puzzle, the one that brought the whole picture together.
As he passed through the threshold, he stood, silent and still leaning against the doors that had automatically closed behind him, his hands pushed into the pockets of his slacks. His dark, serious face was scanning the pitch-black hallway, his mauve coloured eyes resting on each small object they came across for a moment, as though considering carefully what his next move would be. Just get through this, he told himself, to the back of the school that led out into the gardens he had once cherished. He wished he could rid himself of the unbearable sadness that lay deep and heavy in his bones, to drive it away, only he couldn’t figure out how. He did not linger in the halls any longer than he had to, working his way through the school quickly. Did anyone reside here anymore, he wondered, as he neared the back doors faster than he thought he might? Another turn of the key, another locked door reopened, only this time he would not be forced into the keep of darkness, but instead greeted by the kind blue light of the moon that shone down over the gardens.
There was a hint of light in the eastern sky. Or was it only his imagination? He’d looked for dawn so many times already, but with no satisfaction. A faint breeze tickled the leaves of the trees, made them move and whisper to one another in play. The nocturnal blooms lay a sweet scent upon the breeze, a scent of life followed briefly by tender talks of leaves. There was a chill that swept through, sought out weaknesses to brush the bones. Yet in the familiarity there too, was the company of contempt. This place once held the laughter and low talk between friends, artisans, students, childer, sires, and even lovers. But it was lost now. Lost in a hollow sigh.
He strolled through these moments, a tree where lesson plans were considered, and the black glass of the pond where a lively creature would await his company, a bush where eyes first met. And there, just around the bend, he had found his heart had once melted. This place was once warm; he was once warm, but no more. Now, like this place he felt only the bitter chill. This place was once cherished and despised, but not by him. He was indifferent, yet compelled at the same time. Oh the woe of this man’s like, for he loved and hated it. He could not rid himself of the consequences Jovenes’ actions had upon his being now, but perhaps, he could make something positive come of it.
A single petal leapt from a drying rose to drift in the chill of the night, only to land on the toe of his boot. Perhaps there could be life her once more. Like water, he could bring life to this garden once more.
He lifted his violet gaze to scan the path ahead of him, though it was not dawn in stone as it once was, but overgrown threads of green. It was then, in that small glimpse that led him to look upon the garden before him, that he heard whispered voices carried to him by air. Leasollette? He thought and almost tumbled forward as his feet carried him quickly in the direction that he had subconsciously decided on, from which the voices rang in the night. Was he too late?

Kira’s dimmed eyes rise up to look at her older sister Leasolette, though she had recently upped her blood count so that she exceeded her. Though none of that mattered. Not here. Not in this hallowed place where their mother lay asleep. Lea said that Ebony’s sudden running off had scared her. Kira frowned and turned her eyes back to the stone that held her mother, tokens left behind from family lying forlornly upon the face. A soft whimper that sounded like Kunna’s name slipped from her lips as she brushes her fingertips over the edge of the stone. Her ears perk up at the sound of feet scuffling and she turns, her knees picking up grass stains from the friction. Someone else was coming and Kira only hoped they weren’t going to try and stop them from bringing her mother back. She really missed the woman.. and she missed her home.
Kira’s fierce green eyes remained on the pass between the trees, waiting for the next person to come through…

Leasollette was already vaguely aware of the presence of another as they continued to enclose on them. Premonition told her there were still others to come, she was always on guard as past experiences have told to always be on her heel and toe. As the smells drifted on the currents of the breeze formed from the remnants of the storm that threatened the city with flood, Leasollette relaxed as her attention fluidly passed toward Kira with a nervous smile. "Friend" She said to her. She nodded, though unaware of the conditions between them, a friend indeed.
A soft sigh escaped her as she stood in silence, "More are coming, but who and when, I am unsure," She had finally said her smile fading at her miserable attempt to mend the omniscient curtain that had closed her off from Kira and many others. She had no excuse, none, she was always present but at the same time she wasn't. Literally within a phone's reach away, anyone could contact her should they wish to. Rarely did they wish to, but perhaps it was better this way.
"Welcome home," The pained greeting escaped her as Jacomo drew near. Yes, this was home if only for its faded and worn memories replayed on a dull canvas somewhere in the abyssal quarters of the mind that possessed the ability to store the fragments of time since passed. It was an awkward feeling and then, a smile brought from the hope that grew slowly within her. A hand reached for Kira's and gave the dead-pulsing flesh that left a faint impression of a smile to cross her visage a gentle squeeze; it had seemed Kira had taken better care of herself than Leasollette had.
She was still trying to regain her own independence and become more self-reliant than she had previously been. Her other arm searched for the warmth of her sister as she rested her head against Ebony in a jaded fashion born from the obscurity of the future. In silence her eyes flickered off and on with a spark of hope which her eyes had become like puppet masters to the shadows born from their faint gleam. Her gaze un able to be pealed from the tombstone. She looked at the lonely ground and then to the sky.
"But this is not home though yet, is it...?" She said in a questioning tone to anyone willing to listen and answer her as gentle eyes looked up to Ebony. A faint glimmer of the girl who at first knew not of even the simplest counterparts of the City she lived ingradually resurfacing. At that time, Leasollette was a quiet, passive shell that barely fit her spirit forced to reside inside. However, thanks to the aid and guidance of her mother and many more, the shell was little by little growing big enough to house the shattered spirit that resided, compressed unforgivably, within.
Her eyes traced the shadows as she listened, awaiting the coming of Jacomo. A spark of curiosity held her gaze there the ever present question of "what" loomed over the heads of everyone in on their scheme. A question that brought worry and fear but hope to the crumbling souls that Kunna had once been made a part of from her overwhelming influence.
