[Skylar]

Sky made her way out of the Skotadi tower and down to the courtyard to wait for Lily The sky was a bright blue with various clouds floating over head. The sun was out and children were playing in the fountain. Sky looked around taking in the sights around her. The giant gate before her was a beautiful iron color with limestones walls on each side. It opened to various angels always at a crack though just enough to get ones wings through when they were folded.

She smiled. It had always been a dream of hers to live in this place and now she was finally here. Ready to start a new life and make some new friends. Lily was among the first and hopefully would not be the last. Sighing Sky walked over to a bench and sat down folding her gray wings to her body keeping them out of the way and waited for Lily, or anyone for that matter to approach her.

[Naava]

Naava flew out to the courtyard and stopped. "-zap=! It's harderthan I remember!" She yelled in aggrevation at the difficulties she was having in flying. Being a shade she'd gotten out of practice, after all, with no wind to get her wings up, how was she supposed to practice?

But... that was behind her. There was NO way she was going to let anyone who didn't already know about her being a shade find out. The idea of being a 24-7 slave was embaressing enough, let alone the fact that she was killed by her little sister.

naava, now exhausted from the short flight she'd attempted, laid down beside the fountain, deliberately ignoring the small grey winged angel. Even though Naava still had grey wings, and would have to earn her beautiful Black ones, she already thought of herself as a Skotadi. 'It won't be long..."

[Faer]

He must have walked through the wrong door -- woulda thought it was hard to miss a large blue door -- as he walked out into a courtyard.

"...an I remember!"

Faer jumped as an anyeli yelled and lay down by a fountain in the middle of the courtyard. Faer walked carefully towards the angel.

He was a bit distracted by the large gate -- dissapointingly distinctly iron-colored after the vague grayness of the rest of the palace, but it more than made up for it in size, Faer would have to say. Noticing that he was standing in a slightly skewed and bent position looking from a strange angle at the gate he continued on his all-too cliché, sideways and awkward, yet careful, walk.

'Being an angel is strange work,' Faer thought reflecting on his previous life as fire in a much less strange universe.

[Naava]

Naava looked at the anyeli who came through the doors to the palace with mild interest. "Grey wings, how disgusting, but still... beggars can't be choosers..." she thought as she relented and allowed herself to start to flirt a bit. The thought of touching a man again titilated her senses.

Slowly sitting up, Naava looked straight at the newcomer with a slightly mischievious smile. "Hey." She said as she she gave a slow, non-chalant wave and adjusted her body so that she was laying on her side and using her lower arm to prop her upper body up. Keeping her eyes fixed on the man, she waved once again, this time motioning for him to come over. "Let's see if my Nymph looks can still woo a man..." She thought.

[Skylar]

Sky jumped as a anyeli yelled seemingly aggravated by not being able to fly through the courtyard. Standing up she started walking toward her it was time that she had start getting to meet new people. Just then another Anyeli started walking toward the aggravated one. Smiling slightly she was glad that they both had grey wings.

Smiling she walked up right behind the male anyeli. Hello She waved her hand slightly and smiled. Her face was so innocent looking that no one would suspect her to be mean.

[Faer]

(OOC: I apologize for the delay, I forget to check for replies without email notification.)

'This place is weird,' Faer thought, yet again, to himself as he looked from the one anyeli to the other, 'one moment one of them dissapear and the next 2 appear.' Faer stopped walking as he grew slightly nervous at the odd (the naive?) behaviour of these two.

He might not have been in this world for more than an hour, but he had centuries of life experience from his sensical home-universe. Granted this universe was much different, and he had been made purely of fire at home, so perhaps that experience wasn't much use here. 'Whatever happens I'll be sure not to emulate anyone I've met so far...'

It seemed odd for even an angel to go from complete nonchalance to attentive flirting. 'But that angel over there seems to have managed,' he thought. The angel coming from behind him looked so innocent that he couldn't suspect that she was mean.

Perhaps the two anyeli knew each other and the fountain anyeli was talking to the other, not Faer...

In any case, Faer decided to jump startled to the side and say, nervously and suspiciously, "Hello?"

[Naava]

Naava rolled her eyes as the man jumped. "Is he really worth the efforts?" She wondered. Sighing slightly she slowly got up and reached a hand out to put on the man's chest. "Hello, my name's Naava, who might you be." She said seductively as she attempted to ensnare him with her eyes.

He wasn't much, but he was mildly attractive. In fact, if it weren't for the entire weak and grey winged thing he had, Naava might actually have liked this guy. Sadly, he was just a tool for her to sharpen her skills on. Perhaps they could wind up as passing friends, as long as he didn't become the anyeli scum she despised.

Honestly, Naava couldn't understand why anyone would want to be a pathetic white-winged lemming when they could harness the powers of the shadows. Nymphadora, her sister, was blinded by her longing to be an apalos - just like their pathetic father. Naava wished Dora would just embrace the powers she cold have at her finger tips. Controling water and ice with a whim was Naava's dream; but Dora was the one who got to become a nymph. She'd become an ayad at that. Choosing her anyeli side even while a nymph. It was sickening to her.

At least Keanu had take the chance and become a nyad. Naava was so proud of her younger brother, he was truly a prodigy. Of corse, Naava had trained him. The skills he had werE trully hers, and he'd better never forget that. The boy adn't arrived in elysia yet, well, not to stay. He had come on, back before Naava's death, and become a nyad after his time in the wilderness. He'd also returned briefly when news spread of Naava's death but he couldn't find Dora and so he once again left. Perhaps he'd return when he learned Naava was alive again.

But he couldn't see her like this, weak and tiny. No she' gain a bit of power before inviting him back to Elysia. After all, how hard could it be to become a warrior Skotadi?

[Faer]

Firmly removing the anyeli's hand from his chest, Faer replied "I might be Faer."

Faer put a slight frown over his eyes as he stood to his full length and folded his wings more neatly at his back. He appraised the female anyeli. There was something odd about this anyeli, despite the general oddity of the place; he couldn't be sure if this Naava was to be trusted.

He looked over at the other anyeli [who must be having intarblag problems], but she wasn't making much of any move at all. Faer looked back at the first one.

Faer looked in her eyes in an attempt to discern what she was up to, unfortunately Naava seemed a bit too skilled with her eyes to make anything out. In the middle of his frown, Faer's blue eyes twinkled in irritation.

[Naava]

Naava pouted slightly as 'Faer' shot down all of her advances. "Prude." She thought as she slowly tried to slide her hand around his shoulders as she circled him. Her fingers moved to caress his feathers as she reached his back. Continuing to circle the man in front of her Naava wondered what she could say.

This guy had turned down some of her best flaunting. Then again, she could be out of practice...

Reaching the front of Faer once again, Naava moved to slide her hand down his arm. "You have such strong arms Faer. Would you mind showing me around the palace?" Naava asked in a sweet voice. If Faer didn't like her being so seductive, maybe she could ease into him. Gentlemen were always the hardest to break.

[Faer]

As Naava did her thing, Faer was wondering how he should handle this. He really wasn't expecting this in the least. He had never thought that anyone would come onto him in any manner similar to this; he had never had an ego of any particular significance.

"You have such strong arms Faer. Would you mind showing me around the palace?"

Faer said "Heh," and took Naava by her shoulders. He looked into her eyes and said, "Whatever you're trying to do... having strong arms has nothing to do with showing someone around anywhere." Letting go of her shoulders and straightening up, he added "I would be overjoyed to show you how to get lost in this palace."

Please refrain from godmodding Thanks!

[Suka]

Running his hand through his hair, Suka's face was plastered with worry. Maybe not so much worry as uncertinty. So much was happening.... so much had happened. And none of it he could remember. He'd been filled in on becoming Archangel, which... made absolute no sense. He'd also been told of his boost in powers, which he found it hard to believe. But the time. So much time had been lost.

Furrowing his brow, Suka passed through the courtyard. He was glad to see not too much had changed. He'd been informed that the Palace was now owned by the former Archangel and her "partner", as council called him. And that they were renting out dorms to the public. It didn't make sense to him, like a lot of things recently, but he accepted it.

At first, he'd tried to fight it, tried to tell everyone they were crazy, they they bumped their heads. But in the end, he knew it had to be true. Time had left him behind. Why? All he'd been told was that he was in an accident. Part of him wanted to know more, but another part told him it was best to leave the past in the past.

Walking by a young Anyeli couple, Suka whiped his face clean of his worry as he smiled at them. For some strange reason, he found being the Archangel to came naturally to him. He knew how he could act and behave. Although he sported black...erm, semi black wings, Suka knew he'd wanted to be an Apalos. Making his jugments more fair than any past Archangel probably could. Everything was just happening so quickly. Adjusting was prooving to take time.

[Skylar]

Skylar watched as the female anyeli tried to flirt and seduce the male anyeli. Quite startled she realized the she had been speaking with the young male for quite awhile and that he was giving her a wierd look. Scooting off to the other side of the fountain she looked for someone, anyone that she knew just to get out of the awkward situation. Spoting Suka she walked quickly over to him.

Suka! she knew she hadn't known him at all but upon meeting him once she hoped that she wouldn't seem strange in her charecteristics by approaching him on a whim. Waving at him she walked in stride with him though to her he seemed rather tall. How are you? chuckling out of nervousness she eyed the pair of anyeli that she departed from.

[Naava]

Naava looked away from Faer and blushed slightly as he put his hands on her shoulders and shot down her flirting. Quickly realizing what she was doing she pushed the embarrassment out of her. "What is this? I DON'T blush!" She though, angry at herself for what she considered weakness.

As Faer said he'd take her through the palace Naava grinned slightly. Just the the frumpy girl ran off to another angel's side. "Oooo, a Skotadi, but what's with the red tint on his wings?" She thought as she bit her lip, looking him over. Just then the young anyeli shouted out the man's name. "Suka!? As in, the Archangel!?" She thought, her eyes widening for a second before regaining her composure.

Naava had a choice now. Scrap what she was trying to do with Faer and attempt to woo the mighty archangel, or proceed with her current project. "Oh well, I've already started here and the dull girl seems to have Suka busy for now, I'll get to him later." She thought as she focused on Faer once again, a bright smile on her face. "Let's go then." She said brightly, trying a new angle to attract this angel.

[Suka]

Hearing his name, Suka halted in his tracks and turned, searching for the Anyeli behind the voice. Seeing a young fledgling head his way, he smiled at her politly. Her wave suggested she knew him more than he thought, but he brushed it off as a friendly greeting. Truth was, he was sure this would happen to him a lot, meeting someone that knew him, while he remaind clueless. He tried to push it to the back of his mind, but her knew. And it sucked.

Hi. He said friendly. Sending a glance toward the two she looked at, Suka smiled, but felt compleatly out of it. Oh, um, I'm alright. Yourself? Pausing for a moment, he couldn't pull this off... nor did he want to. I'm sorry... you are? He asked casually. He hoped she wasn't a close friend or something. He didn't feel in the mood to have to explain everything. Especially since he knew nothing himself.

[Faer]

Faer looked at Suka as he walked past. 'He doesn't look very grumpy anymore,' he thought to himself and smiled.

He looked back at Naava, "Alright..." He thought for a moment, glancing over at Suka a few times. "Okapy, if you are really interested in... getting lost?" He made an ironic grimace, "Then stay put, ah'll be right back."

He walked over to Suka and the other Anyeli and stood smiling slightly next to them. He didn't want to interrupt.

As he stood there he started thinking back to when he fell from high above the Palace earlier. He found it odd that he had no idea why he was falling, he was certain he had known a minute earlier... 'and what is this red necklace doing around my neck?' he wondered, unmoving as his brain went into chaos mode. His wings spasmed and flicked out straight to either side and back to his back again. His face synched with his brain and it decided to look rather uncertain.

He mumbled "hold on" and walked slowly over to the fountain, put his hands on it's edge and looked into the water at himself.

[Naava]

"What?" Naava asked in an 'are you SERIOUS?!' tone. The tpye of tone she only took when she felt someone had been an idiot, or a guy had officially lost her attentions. In this case it was deffinately the latter, as if there was one thing Naava NEVER did, it was wait for someone. Especially a man.

Naava decided right there that, while she might one day again toywith the man named Faer, she would much rather first see if the new archangel was available. Sauntering over to Suka and the two, now unimportant, fledglings Naava smiled at the Skotadi seductively.

"Hello Suka." She said when she was right nex to him. She didn't care about interupting any previous conversations. If it wasn't about her, it didn't matter to her. If someone were to make the statement that Naava was self-centered, they would deffinately achieve the understatement of the year award.

[Suka]

Hearing his name being called, Suka looked over his shoulder at a young fledgling as she sauntered her way over to him. Lifting a brow, Suka watched her settle in by his side, causing him to step back a few steps. The way her voice sounded, not to mention how the eariler girl addressed him, Castalia not even in his mind, Suka frowned slighty. What on earth eas going on with these women? And why, why could he remember any of it.

Folding his hands togther behind his back, Suka smiled politly at the newcomer. Looking around her to the fountian, he noticed a male fledgling gazing at his reflection in the fountian. His smile broadened. Concided much? Shaking his head at the observation, he returned his attention to the two women before him. Letting out a sigh, he looked at the ground. Why cant this be caught on the grape vine? Having to tell every one of his subjects that he didn't remember them, and trying to explain why when he didn't even know himself.

Listen, i'm sorry, but, i dont have any memory form the past few months. Please try and bare with me, it seems i'll be meeting everyone for the second time for the first time. Looking from one to the other, he hoped they would understand. The hopefully spread the word. It seemed to be getting more and more awkward each time he met someone he supposedly already knew.

[Faer]

Faer couldn't remember anything from before his fall; all he had was a vague recollection of some dream, and even that was fading rapidly. He made a conscious attempt at pulling himself together.

'I am an Anyeli. I have grey wings. No one I have met here have ever met me. I don't know where I come from. I have clothes on,' he thought to himself as he stretched up slowly from looking down into the water. He looked up slowly at the Palace. He started wandering, the other Anyelis completely out of his mind.

He couldn't think very clearly, so he decided to put his utter confusion out of his mind and find something to keep it out. The space outside the Palace was quite spacious, consequently any attempt at aimless wandering looked rather more aimless than it actually was. Faer was wandering aimlessly.

He found an aim when he saw the practice grounds, and walked towards it.

(TO: The Practice Grounds)

[Skylar]

She smiled at Suka's response glad that he was alright. She had heard rumors of an accident that had affected his memory. She was about to tell him that she was doing well as well when he asked her who she was again. A slight bit crestfallen she knew she couldn't expect him to remember her name she had only met him once before and even then she had hardly talked. I'm Skylar, met you in the Honored Skotadi, Hall of Hero's with Lily. She smiled a bit as the young male anyeli walked over then abruptly left to speak with the other fledging by the fountain. What a strange person Just as he was staring at his reflection the female fledging came over. Apparently she was trying to flirt with Suka. A slight bit offended Sky was tempted to tell her off but held her tongue and stared at the ground.

Listen, i'm sorry, but, i dont have any memory form the past few months. Please try and bare with me, it seems i'll be meeting everyone for the second time for the first time.

She looked up quickly slightly shocked that the rumors where true. She sympathized for their leader. To lose ones memories was a horrible ordeal. Not giving a rats -donkey- about the other fledging she went to hug Suka. I'm sorry... I had heard about it but i didn't think it was true. If you want i can help you out with some work if you get to overwhelmed. Stepping back from him she watched for the other girls reaction. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the male fledgling leave towards the direction of the practice grounds.

((ooc: sorry for the delay in posting i've been really busy lately))

[Naava]

As Suka spoke of his predicament, an awful idea crossed Naava's mind. If it didn't work, the worst that could happen as Suka would hate her for a very long time, and Naava could live with that. Setting her dubious plot into action, Naava crossed one arm over her stomache, while the other bent upwards, her hand covering her mouth as she acted mournful. "So you've forgotten me then?" She said, forcing tears to start to fall from her eyes.

Bringing her arms down, Naava put her plan into full action as she shouted at him with tears coming down her cheeks. "I thought we loved each other Suka! How could you do this to me!?" She cried as she turned around and started to run away. Flapping her wings when she was a few feet away, Naava took off to a wobbly start.

Naava, well aware of her inadequacy in flight, Naava let herself fall to the ground a few feet away from where she'd started. What she hadn't planned on, was the scrape across her face that occured when she fell from the air. Shaking off the pain of it as best she could, Naava pulled her legs up and continued to cry. Hopefully Suka would fall for her elaborate plan and come to her rescue, thus submitting himself to Naava's will.
