Two figures garbed in cloaks as black as night. Fabric sweeping and hovering slightly above the cold hard ground of the castle courtyard. A gale that howled through the towers of the castle itself again and again, whispering a song of mourning for the sun. The sun of which has run and hidden itself behind clouds of gray. The wind whistled through the cracks of the stones in the castle, in the town, in the courtyard, singing its song; the stones struggled to keep up with its wild rythme. Who were these figures who strode into the courtyard, their every step alighted with confidence? Who's hooded cloaks deprived all who looked upon them from seeing their faces, with the shrouds of darkness that the hoods did cast.

They came upon the center of the courtyard and glanced at the ribbons of water that gently rippled within the fountain. They seemed to hover over this sight for a while, and than remember what they had been set upon doing previously. Two figures shrouded in darkness, on a morning cold and grey, wondering around the courtyard.

They were quickly consumed by small crowds of people; traveling from place to place. Hustling and bustling to do their daily chores before there came a storm that seemed imminent. The two were not quite out of place, for the castle had seen many a stranger duo pass through their walls... What could possibly make these two special? Nothing. They were just two cloaked beings, searching for something that they strongly desired to find.

Simon and Orpheous, another cloaked odd duo wondered through the city, once again, being material for their camp. Their view was mostly obscured by boxes. They weren't exactly paying attention to where they were going, but so far, they hadn't bumped into somebody. It was merely coincidence that they ran into the cloaked duo, sending there boxes, and the small trinkets inside flying. "I am greatly sorry," muttered Orpheous, trying his best to pick up the boxes. "This usually doesn't happen."

One of the figures pulled down their hood. A face so soft and so perfect stared out at him. The girl had topaz eyes with flecks of jade and saphire colors within the irises, and lips full and yet curved into a sly smile. She had a upturned pixi-like nose and high cheekbones, with cat-like eyes and thin brows. The smile that adorned her face tugged lightly at the muscles in the corners of her mouth.

"It is quite alright dear sir." She said, bowing her head in greeting. Her voice was beautiful, every second of it like birdsong. "Would you allow me the privelage of helping to return to you your things?" She asked, though it wasn't much of a question, as she bent down and slowly started to lift the trinkets from the stone beneath them.

Something about the girl seemed familiar. Could it be her. They thought she died off when the time line changed. Perhaps not. There could only be one way to know. "Thank you," spoke Orpheous with a wry smile. "I'm Orpheous, and this is my apprentice Simon," he stated, half pointing at Simon as he gathered the items. It had to be her.

"And I, madam, am Kasei." The Rebel Flame said joyfully, as he stood behind Orpheous and Simon. "Well, boys, it seems that you've disturbed yet another young lady. You should have learned you're lesson after you met Aria in the north forest, eh?" The shiekahn elder said jokingly, poking Simon. "So, what'cha both doin today?" Kasei asked, obviously not interested in the girl he didn't know. "I was actually thinking about bringing you and Bou somewhere, Orph...."

OOC: Remember, Kasei knows nothing......

The girl reached down to pick up the remaining trinkets that littere the ground and handed them to Orpheous and Simon. A gust of wind blew by and her dirty blonde hair (which was bordering brown) blew past her ears and into her face. She puffed out her cheeks and tucked the wild strands behind her ear.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Orpheous and Simon, and you as well Kasei sir." The girl bowed her head. "My name is Myora and this is my twin brother Jeremy."

The other figure pulled his hood from his head to reveal sandy colored hair that fell down to the top of his ears, and eyes identical to his sister's. He raised his hand in greeting. "Hello." He muttered confidently. "It's always a pleasure to meet new people, but can we ask you something."

"Not to impose or anything though..." Myora continued, "It's just that we are searching for someone and wondered if anyone of you had seen her anytime,"

"Recently," Jeremy finished her sentence, "Or if you know where she could possibly have gone."

"It wasn't our fault we ran right into her," protested Simon. "We couldn't see where we were going." Then he cursed the boxes under his breath.

"Really?" asked Orpheous who was intrigued, "What do you want with Bou?" The question was of course directed at Kasei. However, once the two introduced themselves, he knew his assumption was wrong. However, they might know the one Orpheous was thinking of. They might be of 'her' kind. She would know doubt be a fine agent for the PFH task force should they be able to find her. The birdsong like voice hinted that they probably came from the same region as her, as did the physical compliction. Maybe they might be able to inform them. However, there was adventure as well. These two needed to find somebody.

"Pleasure to meet you, Myora and Jeremy. We would love to help you find this person. However, if you don't mind, could you inform us on who we're looking for?" asked Orpheous.

OOC: It's a coincidence that you brought up the PFH, Orph.....

IC: Kasei smiled as Orpheous asked away. "What? Don't trust me? If you must know, my dear inkweaver, it is in regards to the PFH, I may or may have not found a base of operations, and I would like to bring some people along, as there is a scertain....presence there that might need some encouragement to leave." The Rebel Flame said, hoping Orpheous would understand the meaning of the words...

"As for you, young madam, should you need my aid anytime, call away. I am always around to help people, that seems to be my lot in life." Kasei says to the girl. "And if you need aid locating someone, I have recently acqured some freinds who are good at just that." He finished, snapping his fingers.

Two shadows fell down from nearby rooftops. They landed on the street with a soft 'thud'. Some people looked at the new arrivals, though they knew that the Garo were not enemies. For that was what stood by Kasei's side now; two Garo Ninja, hoods up, only their legs showing from their cloak. "I have gained control of a small fraction of the Garo tribe, they will no longer be of any danger, and are quite good at their job."

Jeremy seemed fascinated with the Garo Ninjas and went over to observe them more closely. Myora adressed the kind people before them.

"Thank you for your kind offers of help. I have come searching from my cousin of the Sylence family, I wish to locate her immediately." A small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she glanced at the people before her.

Jeremey finished her statement simply, "Do either of you know a Nitara Kinia Sylence?"

Myora sighed and nodded. Hoping silently that they did, for her search had gone on for quite a while now and she was getting weary of searching for her cousin.

"Hmmm....Madam, I have seen and become acquainted with many people, but I have never encounered one with that name. However, of course, that is why I have the Garo." Kasei replied, waving his hand at the two cloaked ninja, who turned. "Nitara Kinia Sylence, when you have burned that name into your memories, tell some others, four will be enough, and ask around for any information, kay?" The Rebel Flame addressed the Garo, who nodded and vanished quickly to finish their task.

OOC: To see how the Garo became servants, go to Tantari Desert, T2....

The was the name Orpheous had been waiting for. Nitara, he did his best to act as casual as possible, but it was kind of hard to hide his glee. She survived the crumbling of the alternate time line. Another of his closest friends survived. He couldn't however say that he had met her in an alternate time line. They wouldn't buy that. However, she probably looked the same since she got out of the time line, and Orpheous would have no trouble spotting her.

"We met once, but she did leave quite a large impression. It's a hell of a long story, and well, why waste any time that we could use to look for her?" that is exactly what Orpheous decided to say.Then he thought to himself, did I just imply to them that Nitara and I had something? He could feel the pistol against his head now, as he wished greatly to pull the trigger. The weapon was of course, not there. He tried greatly to get himself out of this hole. He fixed his comment, "Nothing happened," he muttered. "By the 'quite a large impression comment' I meant that I wouldn't be able to forget her physical appearance or personality." He had done his best to patch over the mistake.

He turned to Simon, "Gather the best of our tracker at the camp and take the trinkets back with you. Warp. Bring the tracker back to the main square once you have them gathered."

Jeremy laughed quietly. Thinking to himself how foolish Orpheous had just sounded speaking of his cousin.

Myora sighed and shook her head, "We believe that she may be somewhere in the Tantari desert, maybe near the northern coast. But we have been completely unable to find her. We were hoping that we could find someone that would be willing to help us search."

Jeremy nodded in agreement, "Yes. She's rather hard to find when she doesn't want to be discovered. Her being able to control things with her mind and all, it kinda unnerves me. I hate how well she can hide without ever even using her hands."

Myora laughed, "It's not just the mind powers that scare you Jeremy. You just know that you wouldn't stand a chance against her. And that frightens you to death doesn't it."

Jeremy blushed. Why does Myora have to embarass me in front of people? He wondered to himself. "Nu-uh. I could totally kick her but!" He said defensively, blushing even darker. Dang her, stupid sister...

"Don't overreact Jeremy you know that I'm right." Myora said, dismissing him and the subject entirely. She turned back to Kasei, Orpheous, and Simon.

"I'm terribly sorry that we've been babbling on like this. Thank you so much for your kind offers of assistance. We should head to Tantari don't you agree?"

"Her mind, eh? That's a usefull ability...she could be an interesting person." Kasei says, as his Garo return, with no leads. "No worries, we're going to Tantari Desert!" The Rebel Flame declared. The Garo turned to each other. "It's not what you guys are thinkin, we're going to search for this Nitara woman." Kasei said, having no intention of letting the Garo get the wrong ideas. "And you, Orpheous? Will you be going?" The shiekah asked his freind, who by now knows he'll go anywhay. Kasei will force him.

Orpheous realized Jeremy had every right to laugh at him, and of course, that showed that they noticed his mistake. A light touch of red rose quickly to his cheek, but it vanished quickly. "Of course, I'll help look," he said, addressing both Kasei and the twins. He had earlier let out a chuckle at Myora's insult on Jeremy. He turned to address Simon, who hadn't let yet. He told his apprentice, "Never mind what I said earlier. Sure, warp back to the camp and gather our best trackers, but warp them over to my location. I have the homing beaker on me." As he said this, the pointed at his neck. His apprentice nodded and left. He turned to the twins, "And you have the best trackers I know supporting you as well."

OOC: I will start a topic in Tantari. By the northern coast, not sure exactly where on the north coast but that can't be hard to find.

Edit: Sorry, it will be entitled "Shrouded in Mist; Search for Nitara Part One" if that helps...
