"You really are Seifer. I dunno what I'd do if you weren't around." She said softly, slowly closing her eyes. "I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten this far." She continue "Feels like together we can do just about anything, ya' know?"

**Avankiri** · 05-28-2008, 12:13 AM

Seifer gave a light smile and scooted his face a few inches from Makoto's. "Are you flirting with me...Ma-ko-to-chan?"

**blizzarddog5** · 05-28-2008, 12:16 AM

cloud looked and gave a chuckle "So they really were love birds after all eh. I was right HA, but this doesn't seem like the time to joke around. Do i even belong here? with all these cheerful people? hey guys i need some fresh air. im gonna take a walk around the ruins."

**Day Late** · 05-28-2008, 12:21 AM

Makoto didn't even seem to notice what cloud had said. She could feel her cheeks getting warm, she was sure that she was blushing. "F-flirting?" She said, staring into his eyes. "Well-- I mean--" She hated it when she got embarassed or flustered, she would stutter terribly.

**Avankiri** · 05-28-2008, 12:31 AM

Seifer smiled softly and lay his head on her shoulder. "There's no need for words...That's what Dad used to tell Mom all the time. 'There's no need for words. Even if I tried to use them, Cecilia, they could never express how much I love you and always will love you., he used to say." Seifer chuckled a bit. "I guess I get what he meant now."

Alastor smiled. To himself, he whispered, "Such a wonderful use of words, Seifer."

**Day Late** · 05-28-2008, 09:22 PM

Makoto tense up for a moment when he lay his head on her, but relaxed after a quick moment. He was warm and she reveled in his embrace, the words he had spoken running over and over through her head. She didn't want this moment to end, and pray there was no reason for it to.

**Avankiri** · 05-28-2008, 09:59 PM

But sadly, all good things come to an end just when they're starting to make you feel as if all's right with the world.

A rumble rocked the Sphere. A nearby school of fish quickly hid in their underwater caves as the beast approached. His body oozed blacker than ever as he came to them, slowly lifting himself from the water. Two enormous, arm-like protrusions grabbed onto the sides of the Collosus and pulled the body up, His single eye stared into the Sphere. He could feel it, the Light of the Dawn. It was painful just being before it, as it emanated from the Summoner and her companion. Suddenly, Seifer and Makoto both glowed. In a flash of light, they were gone. In their place were the twins themselves as depicted in the pictures that artists drew. Avan looked slowly up at Raine and shook his head, lifting a finger. "You dare disturb these children...Get back, foul beast. If you seek to end fair Makoto's life, I shall not stand for it. Go back, Raine. Sleep in the ocean abyss and never trouble these young ones again!" Avan lifted his pale hands, and a mystic light appeared from them. Collete did the same, and they lifted the light high into the air. "Ifhfyrn fhyryfh fiitjfhgf dujfyemf. Idgeydnb dyend xyej fpaf fsd fd d!"
{This text is impossible to translate. None understand the twins' language, so none know what it is they said.}

The light struck itself deep into Raine's forehead. He reeled back and roared, then fell back into the ocean, where Leviathan dragged his unconcious body back into the depths of the sea. The twins disappeared, and Makoto and Seifer were back where they were. To those who had been there, it was as if nothing had happened. They simply went on like they normally did.

Seifer slowly sat up, holding his head and groaning about a headache. "It was probably the food." Alastor told him, putting on his boots and wrapping his cloak back around him. "Now come on, your girlfriend's waiting on us."

Seifer blushed lightly and pushed his fingers together, a gesture that he was nervous. "Riiiiight....So...Umm...Where are we going this time?"

Alastor turned to him as they both stood. "After you went to sleep, I decided that we're going to the Colliseum in Thardus. You'll be in the Arena there."

Seifer nodded, though he was a little confused. They boarded the ship, which had landed in the gold room. Amari coughed a bit. "Welcome back, milord."

Seifer nodded a little. "Yeah, yeah, yeah....Let's go. This time, to the Colliseum."

Amari nodded, then turned the wheel and they were gone, Asgard slowly drifting away behind them into the mist.

**Day Late** · 05-29-2008, 01:48 AM

Makoto stood at the back of the ship, her elbows propped on the edge, face rested in the palm of her hands. She watch as Asguard slowly drift away from them, making a vow to herself that this would not be the last time she'd see it. A soft sigh escape her as she push herself up and turn away, putting the city behind her.

**Avankiri** · 05-29-2008, 02:12 PM

Seifer walked up to Makoto and stood beside her. "Don't worry about it, Makoto. We'll get it back. We'll come back with lots of ships and workers and rebuild everything. I promise."

**Day Late** · 05-29-2008, 11:54 PM

She nodded and smile "I know Seifer. We'll get back there and rebuild home no matter what." Makoto would see to this no matter how hard it would be. Nothing would stop her, or this is what she drilled into her brain.

**Avankiri** · 05-30-2008, 01:40 AM

Seifer smiled lightly and turned. The Colliseum was fast approaching. The ship dock3ed in one of the largest harbors it had ever been in. People from all over bustled through the streets, from street performers, to actors, to citizens, to gladiatorial fighters. Seifer looked around at the massive place. "Jeeze...Wow...."

**Day Late** · 05-30-2008, 04:57 AM

Makoto step off the ship and slowly peer around. The whole scene was exciting! She couldn't believe they were in such a busy, hustle and bustle city! It was making her giddy with joy. What fun things could she find to do here? Gambling? Shopping? Eating? She just had to find out. "Alright! I'm gonna explore! You guys go n' find out what we gotta do here!" She giggled and took off into the crowd so she could avoid a responce, heck, it's not like they could stop her now.

**Avankiri** · 05-30-2008, 03:48 PM

Seifer also went out on his own, mostly to find the Arena, but also to look for construction supplies.

He didn't find the supplies, but he did find the Arena. Within minutes, he signed in thanks to his title of Lord, and was almost immediately thrust into battle.

**Day Late** · 05-30-2008, 11:28 PM

Makoto wonder the Bazzar, examining the various trinkets and goods, stopping occasionally to try on jewlery that catches her eye. She was getting many stares, she didn't try to hide the fact that she was the Summoner or anything. She really didn't see any reason to. Although, this would of course attract negative attention, especially to those who would see fit to use the summoner to ransom off a pretty penny.. Or Slave traders. Little did she know she was being stalk down the busy markey place by people with these exact intentions.

||I do hope this is okay :3 What with you in the arena and Cloud.. Erm.. Dancing on the boat? XD I thought I would get meself into trouble||

**Avankiri** · 05-31-2008, 09:13 PM

(It's perrrrrrfect!)

Seifer left the Arena and noticed the best part of the Colliseum; the Aqua Ball Stadium. He quickly signed up with a ragtag band of nobody Aqua Ball players, then jumped into the Sphere. The prize for the match would be announced once it was found...Currently, that prize was being, well...stalked.
