:Bahamut quickly lands in the Calm Lands. Infinity and Rainii quickly dismount:
Thank you old friend....
:Infinity places a hand on his head and closes his eyes:
Take care..
:On that Bahamut roars and takes flight, quickly disappearing into the clouds:
"Sorry, but I'd rather have someone with me this time. I needed to go to Iifa, as well as here."
:Infinity faces Rainii:
"I don't have a good feeling about this situation..."
:His eyes wander to a cluster of boulders and trees near them in the plains. A few graves with crosses lie near there:

::Rainii follows his gaze.::
"It does seem a little...hopeless. Daunting. Absolutely terrifying."
::She looks back at him.::
"I'm not going to lie--this whole thing doesn't seem to be set in our favor. Even if we do defeat Loci--what then? Do we just wait and die?"
::In this moment,she seems small. She feels small, and lost.::
"But I don't want to die."

:Shakes his head:
"I think IF we can defeat him there is a solution..."
:Infinity approaches her and pulls off his necklace with the three rings around it:
"I got this from Shelby...before she left.."
:He pauses and smiles:
"I need you to have it for this battle...you need the protection."
:He places it over her head and around her neck:

::Rainii looks at the necklace, admiring it.::
"But this...this is yours....I feel bad for taking it."

"Are you sure?"

:Places his hands on her shoulders and smiles:
"Of course....consider it as a favor to me that you're holding onto it for me?"
:Infinity hugs her:
"I love you so much Rainii...I just want you to know that in case..."
:He backs up:
"..you know...and let me kids know..."

"I know. And I will,you know I will."
::Rainii hugs him again.::
"And I love you,too."
::She moves back,and looks up at him.::
"And if...you know...Tell my father. Tell Esthar."

:Smiles and wraps his arm around her waist as they start to walk to the graves:
"You'll make it...the future so bleak...but being here with you I know the world will survive. You and the others as well..."
:They arrive at the few graves. Each has some sort of a marking stone and cross. The site of each is covered in dark gray stones and some even have weapons standing in them:

"Some fallen friends....they requested to be buried here.."
:Infinity kneels in front of one in particular:
"Reis..."
:He looks up at Rainii:
"Remember him?"
:Sighes:
"Great man, I learned plenty from him."
:Infinity looks back down:
"The point is Rainii....is Gaia lives via the lifestream. Loci has infected it....he's infected the life of the planet and violated the dead."

:A man pulling a cart approaches them:
"Sir...here are your effects..."
:He bows:
"I wish you the best of luck."
:The man quickly leaves them:
"Rainii, would you mind helping me armor up. I'm going down wearing my finest."
(OOC- Not much longer and we can stop this for the night if you want)

(OOC--I'm out! good night!)
::Rainii beings to help Infinity put the armor on, picking up the pieces carefully, and handing them to him. The atmosphere is solemn, and the pair are quiet. It almost feels like a funeral.::

:Infinity peels away the blood crusted leather armor from his noticably poorly healed wounds. Gray flesh circles wounded spots, but he quickly covers them back up with a fresh undershirt. He winces as he puts his chest armor on:
"Why so sad?"
:Smiles, trying to cheer her up:
"Come now, you're always optimistic."

"Yeah,I know. But right now, it just feels solemn."
::But still she smiles at him, in a reassuring way.::
"Don't worry,though. The optomism is still there."
::They continue to put on the armor, but now Rainii is making jokes and laughing in an effort to lighten the mood.::

:As they finish Infinity slides his blade into place at his waist:
"Well...I believe we should meet back up with them."
:He looks downat the graves once more:
(OOC- Move us along back w/ them in your next post and control me on anything after....I'm gonna be heading back home)

::Rainii moves away from him a little bit, to give him some time and space. Soon enough, Infinity walks over to her, and calls Bahamut. As soon as he lands, they get on,and Bahamut takes off. The ride back to the Hijrah is quiet, but not uncomfortably so.::
(OOC--To the Hijrah!)
