Welcome to Gaia! ::

50 years later, the castle a vague memory of it's former members. Sith and Ember had left to start their own family, Andante had gone on to further his studies, Alto had all but vanished, and Azuria had gone into hiding in a society of humans who in essence felt the half demon was public enemy number one. Followed closely by the ex-operative brothers, Sith, and Ember.

It was easy to hide really, before Andante left, Azuria requested a custom ring for herself, one that would make her appear human, fox ears, mechanical arm gone.

So now we see a raven haired girl with green eyes walking down the streets, stopping near a rally of people, huddling close for warmth in the late autumn weather, all screaming one thing.
"DEATH TO REPLOIDS! DEATH TO THE HALF DEMON!"
The girl pauses, pulls her scarf closer for warmth and listens, a sad look in her eyes.
"It is that wretched whore who brought the reploids to our planet! She must pay along with the others! Once she is gone the reploids will fall easily."
If it were only that easy...
The girl sighs and continues her way home, stopping only once more infront of a store that had a t.v. playing the news.
"The children of Zelgadiss, the reploidian army suspected to be led by the original operative Alto, his brother Andante, and half demon Azuria St. Cloud... *a picture of the three flashes across the screen* made new demands on the human government today, demanding submission and acceptance of the new world. Human forces...."
Hearing enough the girl turned rather stiffly and walked swiftly to her home, a two room apartment that had apparently seen better days. But it was home, and no one came to bother her.
With the door locked she sighed, took off her hat, scarf and long coat, throwing it on the one chair in the living room, making her way to a window with a grand view of a brick wall across the alley. Closing the blinds quickly, the room suddenly seemed much darker then it had before, that was until there seemed to be a blue light that turned on for no reason.
"Azuria..."
The girl stopped, wide eyed and turned.


"A-alto?"
((Lol, this'll count as Azu's first post sweatdrop ))

Azuria still stood there wide eyed, her heart thumping in her throat.
But as the cold air wrapped her senses, she seemed to calm, her eyes closing as she takes a deep breath and turns to face him fully.
But it didn't stop the questions running through her mind, including the most important one.
How did he find me?!
After a long moment of uncomfortable silence she sighed and took a step closer, "It's been a long time Alto."

Azuria once again fell into silence, she then walked over to the single chair, pulled off the items she had thrown on it earlier and tossed them to the side.
"Please... sit down."
Her voice was different, distantly polite, but not entirely friendly.
She then moved to the kitchen, grabbing a rickety dining chair for herself and dragging it back into the living room.
She seemed a bit shaky, moving more like a nervous human, than her old usual confident self. Finally arranging the chair she sat down, whether he was going to or not, and rubbed her temples.
"Don't play games Alto. I'm too tired for games."

Azuria froze head in hands.
Then slowly she raised her head and looked at him.
"What?"

She just stared at him, opening her mouth once, snapping it closed, then looking away.
"I ..."
A surge of anger hit her, and a familiar low growl filled the air.
"I waited... fifty years...."
She rose to her feet, glared at him nearly shaking, then turned away.
"Get away from me."

Azuria growled lower, her hand immediately reaching for the ring on her finger, but before she pulled it off the phone in the kitchen area rang.
Looking confused for a moment, she seemed to remember where she was, then repeated again.
"Get out."

Azuria stared at him in disbelief, but as he turned to go she sighed, the anger now being replaced by regret by his vanishing figure.
But with another ring of the phone she shook her head and darted to the phone picking it up quickly.
"Hi Maria! We still on for tonight?"
"H-hector? Oh tonight ... oh Hector I am so sorry I'm late aren't I?"
"Just a little, are you ok?"
"Yes yes I'm fine."
"You sound upset."
"No I'm fine, don't worry. Just tired."
"Ok, so what about tonight?"
"Hector I really don't feel well, how about tomorrow hmmm?"
"Oh..." Azuria frowned as she heard his voice drop, but it was short lived as he immediately revived and sounded chipper on the other side of the line. "Well only if you feel better ok Maria? I don't want you to not feel well."
