"Welcome..."

Old Lady Time appeared in front of them, a gentle smile on her face.

"Welcome to Infinity where Time is controled. I rule this realm, and yours although you don't know it. She chuckled softly."It's been years since I've had company. Since the beginning of time that is. It is nice to finally meet you Princess Erica. I haven't seen you since you were a child playing with your brothers and sisters."

Erica standing and bowing before the keeper of time.

"As a same to you..."

Erica stands up and looks around the realm. The only life standing before them ws The keeper of Time, Lady Rose, Bararyl Dragon and herself.

"You know of my family?" she asked calmy...

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 1:12

Lady Rose bows and then turns to Erica.

"Enjoy yourself, i must be off, got things to do..."

Lady Rose takes the portal to Paradise...

Old Lady Time chuckled softly.

"Yes. I've watched over the Garden family for ages. I have seen everything. From the battles on the training grounds to the death of your family. I know where their remains lie...."

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 1:31

Erica lowers her head in shame.

"And to know i couldn't do anything, but watch as each member was murdered before my eyes, I was helpless to help them *lets a tear run down her face* is there any hope for me to even try? 76 torn pages and i still need the book itself with the other 200 pages, i need all 26 crests, and knowing one i will never find...Is this curse even breakable? To die of a neutral heart towards both heaven and hell, all I've done is kill, i know my balance is off..i know it always will be...*lets another tear run down her face*...The days of joy, the trainings we did, the wounds we suffered and healed ourselves with, the..."

Erica cuts off and remains quiet, knowing she has asked too much already...

"I can help you. A trade is in order as of all things...."

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 1:54

Erica wipes her shame and raises her head to face The keeper of time..

"What kind of trade?"

Bararyl Dragon lays down at Erica feet.

"With each three locations is a new trade. You're in luck since there are only nine locations. Once you agree to this will you be able to finally rest in peace my dear."

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 2:17

Erica looks at her cautiously.

"And the requirements of this trade are?"

Erica looking down at the floor when she talks this time...

"I don't plan on resting...But those that have died do have the plan. I'm sure i'll find a way to release them, break this curse and still live..."

"The first location is underneath the Rebel Leader Sky's house. The second are with the Master of the Lost Teachings Zero. They are buried in his forest. The last location is underneath Sky's bar in America. Return here when you are find them. They are unaware of the pages and crests, and not at fault here.

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 2:56

Erica looks at Lady Time.

"Why do you tell me this without telling me what I must offer first?"

"I haven't thought of it yet." Chuckles.

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 3:17

"Oh..." Chuckles a little bit. "Well thanks, but i need to do some other things first...any chance i can get a place to rest? I was told not to enter paradise and Earth hates me, and Inferno i'll pass on..."

Erica looks down at Bararyl Dragon who is now almost asleep...

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 3:29

"You're always welcomed in Paradise Princess Erica. Never said you're not allowed in there." Seidaku smiled. "You can stay in Paradise until you find what you're seeking."

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 3:30

Looking at Bararyl Dragon...

"And as for him?"

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 3:34

"As long as he doesn't destroy anything it's fine."

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 3:49

Chuckles sightly and seeing Mistress Seidaku's face she straightens up and gently taps Bararyl Dragon.

"Come on big guy, theres better places to sleep than on the floor..."

Erica follows Mistress Seidaku into the portal to paradise.

Flying to the garden of eden, Erica leans up against Bararyl Dragon and pulls out her pages she collected and begins to study them...

After about an hour or so, Erica dozes off into a slumber next to Bararyl Dragon...

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 15:47

Erica is wakened by the sound of commands coming from Mistress Seidaku as she tells them about the rapairs taking so long to finish.

Getting to her feet, she pats Bararyl Dragon...

"Be right back big guy..."

She walks up to the golden gates and looks at the large head inprint still in the gate. Smiling she walks you to Mistress, Bowing and the speaking...

"If you ask me, the new inprint doesn't looks that bad...A head of a dragon, but of course thats just my opinion..."

Erica awaits to be allowed to stand back up from her bow....

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 15:52

Seidaku glanced at Princess Erica and smiled.

"You can stand up. We are of neutral royalty. No bowing is to be done to each other alright? It's not the imprint that matters, it's the gate won't open or closed, and we're open for enemy attacks. That gate is the only way dead souls enter."

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 16:10

Erica standing up and looking at the gates. Remembering the mere sight of her own sword stabbing her and feeling herself drop to the floor, remembering the site of the chunk of earth ripping apart that city, remembering the cannons hitting her to the count of four and knowing there was more, remembering her tears run down her face as she talked to the keeper of time, remembering it all, Erica turns to face Mistress Seidaku.

"Sorry Mistress Seidaku but i don't see myself as royality anymore. Why be ranked of royality when theres nothing royal now to take care of?..." Erica turns and faces the gate, holding out her hand the gate begins to move without the workers touching it. The gate shapes itself into a flexible state of mind and soon the dents pushed themselves out of the gate. The gate then soon becomeing straight and sturdy, latches itself back up and the sweet music of peace begins to play from the gate, signaling its repairs to be done.

Erica lowering her hand and walking to the cliff looking down at the broken marble seats that were yet to be fixed still. Erica raised her hand again and this time, speaking without looking at Mistress Seidaku.

"I can only repair what i break..."

The marble seats pick themselves up and without a problem, fit back together like a puzzle with every piece.

Turning around and facing Mistress Seidaku Erica gives off a cold smile.

"Is there anything else i might have missed?"

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 16:43

Seidaku chuckled, and brought the woman into a hug, her arms around the Princess's shoulders.

"You are considered royalty still, at least in Paradise. You are welcomed here anytime you desire. Day or night." She kisses Princess Erica's forehead. "Relax."

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 17:08

Erica, after being kisses lays her head on Mistress Seidaku's shoulder and thinks to herself...

"The angel of light, with her charm, i am suppossed to bow before her no matter what, and here she is, telling me i'm equal or royality, my royality is dead, the solo survivior of The Gardens, and i'm told not to bow..."

Erica closes her eyes and downs out the sound. Vision of her father came into her mind and she, bowing before him as he repeated the oath that they preached..."Thus the Heavens and the Angels that take care of it, Bless us again this day, and may the darkness hide forever. We as Gardens will always bow before the light, and the day that one doesn't, may there soul be damned..." The vison of the preachings disappears and the vision of her father stands before her in her dream..."Princess Erica, how I've missed you." The dreaming Erica, now bowing in her dream to her father. "Father, were is your crest? what did you turn it into before dying?" asks Erica. The father looking mor closely at his daughter smiles. "My lady, it is in you, my crest is your immortality..." The King looking at his daughter and opens his hand, holding a piece of metal, this piece of metal has link the middle, both the top and bottom ends are broken and wings on either side of the link. Upon taking the metal link Erica hand drops from the weight and the wings cut into her palm as he holds it tightly. The vision of her father fades as Mistress Seidaku wakes her up from her sleep...

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 17:18

Seidaku caught the sleeping Princess, and just smiled before chuckling as she gently shook the woman awake, careful not to cause harm.

"Are you alright?" she asked, concerned. "Perhaps you need to rest." She picked up the Princess bridal style. "I'll return you to your room to rest if you like."

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 17:23

Erica, assuring Mistress Seidaku that is is fine now, gets to her feet.

"Do you have a library i can go to?" asks Erica as she hides the object behind her. "I just need to see if i can find something out about something." She smilies happily.

Subject: Re: Welcome... 16.07.08 17:31

"We have two libraries. The accessable one, and the unaccessable one. The accessable one I doubt there is anything in there, and the unaccessable one Lady Rose-Aiken and I went to yesturday. The Book Keeper said to check back in a week for more information about the Garden Family and the Newton Family. Once you're in you're in until the ruler of Paradise's blood is spilled to a certain point. Unfortunately my blood doesn't regenrade that quickly, but I promise you I will take you to the the unaccessable library within five more days."
