Neiro sat by a window as the ship tossed and turned as Lillith tried to fly it.
" Oh my.."
He sat their looking out the window. For those who have been on an airship with Galeon before would almost think they were one in the same they way they just sat there staring out the window.

(OOC: Jas and I were toying with this idea, and it seems it's the perfect time to do it since we're still waiting for Kayo and Sinclaire to check back in. By the way, where has Kenny been? He's been on, but he hasn't done any posting.)
::Jas' eyes suddenly become very heavy. The voice he had heard earlier begins sounding in his ears again, but growing louder in small increments. Before he knows it, he's sound asleep. He opens his eyes to find himself a far cry from the inside of an airship. He's inside what looks like it was once the dining hall of a mighty castle. But the banners that hang from the rafters are faded and fraying. The mortar brick of the walls is cracked and crumbling away. And nearly everything from the candlelit chandeliers to the still untouched plates and silverware on the long table are riddled with cobwebs. A shadowy figure on the far side of the table sits in a high backed chair. She speaks, but the thunder outside makes it difficult to recognize the voice::
Come closer Jas. Let me get a look at you. These two years have been kind to you I see.

*Jas blinks as he wakes up, now noticing the place he's in* Where am I?
Come closer Jas. Let me get a look at you. These two years have been kind to you I see.
*Jas lays one hand on his swords hilt, unsure if the owner of the voice is a friend or enemy* "Who are you?" he said calmly, no hint of any fear or hatred, as he approached the owner of the voice. "How do you know my name?"

::The figure doesn't move::
What's the matter? Don't you recognize me? Oh... that's right. I forgot who I was talking to. It's not fair that you have that face you know. You trying to confuse me?
::She waves her hand toward the ceiling. Jas may catch a glimpse of the strange fire colored birthmark on her palm. With a flick of her wrists, the chandeliers above them spark and are lit. He gets his first clear glimpse of the woman in the elegant silk violet dress. Her long dark hair frames her beautiful olive toned face, in the middle of which sits a pair of alluring amethyst eyes::
Happy to see me?

*Jas's hand moves away from his sword's hilt in surprise* "Natalia? How? We all thought you were dead."

::Natalia crosses her legs::
What is dead anyway? The separation of the soul from the body? But if the soul doesn't really move on can that be called death? I'm actually a little surprised I still have one to tell you the truth.
::She scrutinizes him for a moment with that knowing gaze::
I see you've been busy. You always attracted darkness didn't you. Seems you cut it awfully close this time.
::Wondering what she's looking at, Jas studies his own arms to find strange shadows swirling around them that weren't there before. But his blood goes cold with the memory of Jezebel's touch as her shadows tried to envelope him::

*Jas eyes widen at the site, his memory remembering how he almost gave in to Jezebel* "How is this possible?" *Looks ot her* "Nat, did you know Jezebel would try again?"

Millenia of trying and you thought she'd ever stop? She is evil itself. She won't rest until she is either defeated or covers the world in her shadows. Here have something to eat.
::She waves her hand over the table, conjuring a platter of food on the table in front of Jas, something she was never able to do in life::
So did you like the gift I sent you?

*Jas looks to the food she conjured before looking back to Natalia* "I discovered your gift. *he sits down and takes a bite of the food before swallowing it* But I got to ask you one question: why me? Why did you choose me to weild Excalibur's power, and while I'm on that subject, how did you come in possession of that power?"

::Before Natalia is a strange white beverage that smells of coconuts::
I love these. Have you ever had a pina-colada? Sorry, but not being physical makes me lose my train of thought quickly.
::She sips her drink before continuing on::
Tell me Jas, what do you know of the Omni Elf? I'm sure you heard the story. Storytelling is part of what made me choose Lillith last time.

*He takes a sip of the berverage* "What I know of the Omni-Elf is that he faced an evil he couldn't defeat and was killed. To mourn his death, the gods and goddess of Freya seperated the sword Excalibur into two, the Iris and the Hectate. And that's all I know."

Yes that is how he met his end, but before that, he used Excalibur to unite his people. Excalibur and the Omni Elf play an important role to the elves. It's one of the last remaining threads that connects all five tribes. He was the hero and protector of their ancestors before there were any tribes. In fact they believe that he will return one day before the last battle to unite them again. He's said to be the light that will restore their peace. You are the last of your kind, correct?

*Jas nods* "I am to my knowing, no thanks to Jenova and its creator." *At the mention of the last part, she felt his anger in his heart rise before he suppressed it so it wouldn't get out of hand*

::She inhales through her nose as though she's feeding on the anger, but thinks better of it::
Yes well, getting back to my story, though Excalibur is no longer whole, the two halves still have roles to play. When it split, there was an explosion made up of the old magic that forged it. The same magic was once believed to be the source of the Elves' eternal life. There were only two survivors of that explosion. As a result, they could no longer age. Hecate was taken up by a woman who became The Witch of the North, the scourge of Elvenkind as she is portrayed. Jezebel's lieutenant in the physical world. She's a dictator whose stories are still used to frighten children into good behavior. But the divine half, Iris was taken up by her nemesis. A hero hand picked by the Gods of Light to keep her at bay and prepare the Freya for its last days. Behind the scenes of history they have fought their battles.
::She pauses for a moment, boring her purple eyes into his::
I can sense that you have an important role to play in this world, not unlike the Omni-Elf, or the immortal hero mentioned in the last story; Jas, last of the Cetra. You too are the only thing standing in the way of your kinds destruction. You too have a powerful enemy to face.

"I know." he replied. "But there's something I have to know now, *he holds his left hand out as a dark blade manisifests. It power pulsing, but is controled by Jas* Natalia, does the aura of this sword feel familiar in anyway to the Hectate?"

::Natalia studies the blade bearing no reaction, but something about her aura suggests she wasn't expecting this::
Where did you get that?

"I've found this blade, along with *another blade forms in his right hand, unlike the other, this one is azure blade with angelic ruins inscribe in the steel* this one. They're called the Azurewrath, or the Sword of Heaven, and the Shadowfang, or the Sword of Hell. The legend states that they were created by two of the goddess's of this realm, Gaia, the Goddess of Life, and her sister Tyr, the Goddess of Destruction." *The swords dissapear back into his arms*

::Her eyes never leave the two blades as she speaks::
I had heard that Gaea had something similar to Excalibur; a gift from its gods to their people, but I never thought I'd come across it in my lifetime, especially in you. But I should have suspected. The power I gave to you blade was only a fraction of what Excalibur is really capable of, but you seem to have an affinity for it that I didn't believe possible.

"I see..." *Looks down at his sword* "But back to my original question, how did you possess Excalibur's power?"

((OOC:My Net was down the other day for awhile So this is my best....Got your Memo didn't know it was a dream sorry))
:Kenny was on the bed laying down as he was recovering from what happened earlier at Leah Garden after seeing the eyes of Jezebel as he was grunting a bit as if he looked frightened. He looked a bit sweaty and scared for being alone as he wished he knew what to do now to ensure Lilliths safety.:
