Yuri blinked hearing his words, her mind kept clicking backwards in time to the image she remembered as a child. Then blinks as she frowns some this man was very simular to the older one that had been in the dreams before the ship when she had been in the arms of two strangers, her memory clicked to another image one of a lad just about 10 years at the time standing beside the older man and his wife whom had been holding her at the time.
She shakes her head some when she frowns those memories had haunted her for years but int silence had she never spoken them to anyone. Yuri stood to her feet almost tumbling over when she felt the dissy spells, and pain rip through her . Hearing the cracking of the rib bones that had broken did she carefully sit back down leaning against the one wall still intact," Sir please tell me what you mean?" she asked in a soft tone that reached his ears, and even in his rage did she not show fear. Yuri had seen to many things in her life to know fear over a raging temper.

In a final release of his rage did he walk at a quickened pace to the door and smash his fist into it, putting another large hole in the wall by his armored hand. " You've had a stressful day, we'll have you moved to another room and you can rest until the festivities tonight... We'll discuss it tomorrow. " Solemnly did he know, that this meant he would probably have to leave Darkwatch for a time, and he would have an order sent to Serge to make one of his trademark teleportation talismans, made specifically to transport himself back to Darkwatch whenever necessary. After he wrote the note and sent the page off did he arrive in his office, closing the door silently on the soundproof room and falling back into his chair at his oak desk. He thought of his little sister and the time at which she was thought dead, abducted and held for ransom by strangers and then killed. He wrote a notice to finish having the party arranged, and as a single tear fell upon it did he slam his armored fist once more into his desk.
Darius sat there for a short time, his memory flashing over the few years that he had spent with his little sister, and how they had had hot tempers toward one another even then. He sighed and sent the notice off and began pacing the room. " This is going to be hell for her..." He muttered.

The guards moved her to the room next to her crew mates along with her items but weapons and other herbs had been taken from the packs this time to gurrentee that another mistake as before wouldn't come to pass. The door was shut and relocked sense no other order had been told to them yet if it was safe for this people to roam. Two guards were placed outside the door, and one upon the outer walkway to keep an eye on her incause she had other secrets.
Yuri moved about the room roaming like a caged tiger, her mind traveled back over the past as if a lock had been shattered upon memories till now had been quick and misty. She moved to her pack did she pull a locked journal to open it slowly after a quick touch of her fingers to the top as a silver light flooded the book making it unlock. Fingers flipped through the pages of her unspeaking dreams each picture was not totally finished just a skechting, and slightly colored from each time she had seen it.
" What is with this place? this man? that brings this memories to surface faster." she said to herself when settling upon the bed then groans as the bones grind together were the breaks wore. Head rested in her hands did she rub her forhead with her fingers the thinking mixed with pain wasn't helping any.

Darius sighed and looked out the window in his office, his window had cracked do to the force of the blow to his desk and with a air of despair he dropped his head on his desk thinking. Suddenly there was a creaking sound of wood splintering, and with a jolt the legs on the desk crumpled under itself and as it hit the ground the entire desk split in half sending up a cloud of dust and papers. He had already filled out a notice to have a healer sent to her room, though, he had hesitated to send it and now it was lost in the air of chaos around the mess.
Lenin peeked her head in his door as it creaked open, her knocking lightly. " Lord Darius...excuse me for talking out of turn but..." Slowly but surely she walked into the room as he lifted his head and stared at her with a sense of frustration. " Darius...you will have to tell her soon...you can't keep her heritage from her. " Darius paused and then stood from his chair, which was basically the only intact thing about the room at this point. <Dar> " I realize that, Lenin. I just...I couldn't. I looked into her eyes as I yelled at her, and though she did not fear me, there was soo much pain. She has had a hard life away from here, not that I wouldn't have worked her just as hard as she had been all those places I saw in her dreams. It was strange. I was there, I have no ignorance of her travels and so much has been asked of her already. Our parents have long since died, and to tell her that her true home is out here in the middle of a stronghold in the middle of some trees? " He laughed heartily as he walked across the room. " It sounds silly when you think about it, having such a guarded place out here, if only to protect the castle and the two shrines. Though the people here see their only duty as to guard Naos'. They reject a lot of their rich heritage...and expect me to bear all the worst of our history. Ha, I wonder how she'll react to having a niece and nephew... So much to tell...."
<Len> " I'll go in and heal her myself m'lord. " She bowed out and seemed to glide from the room, the door closing behind her with a soft click. At which, the window which had been cracked did shatter. <Dar> " You do that... " He said reluctantly after she had already left. Darius stood from his desk and stepped twice near the corner of the room on a solitary nail at which a lock was hear to click and a hatch opened up to the arena suspended below. Darius stepped off the floor and landed with thud on the platform, causing it to sway ever so slightly. It was nearly 100x100 feet and was about 1/100 the width of the manor above.
Darius flexed and exhaled slowly, coming in tune with the free flowing wind that did blow their high in the trees and suddenly as a commotion was heard far off in the distance, frightened harpies, agitated by the noice, came at him and attacked reverting to their primal instincts. A distraction...Darius thought. Just what I needed. He cracked his knuckles loudly and ran to the side as a flurry of their razor sharp projectile-like feathers came flying at him, they were able to launch the like arrows. Darius smiled as one after another passed him and dug themselves into the wood behind him as he sped across the platfrom and drew a katana that had rested across his back over the hammer. As he slid it from it's sheath, the mirrored blade showed him the reflection of a few more coming from the other direction. <Dar> " Come meet your death then. "

Yuri's head lifted when she felt a fire building in the orb that rested in the pouch at her side, her hands draw out the orb that Tele had given her before he had left. She brushed her fingers over the orb slowly, her hands become cased in fire as it just wrapped around them for a moment the faded as the orb shattered leaving behind a parchement that held the Eitan seal. This was the first time in many moons she had heard anything from the place she had called home sense no other had been found no matter were she traveled till now when she had thought to give up. Fingers parted the parchement when her eyes glanced over the summons to appear before Adrin Eitan, himself for a meeting, her head shakes placing the parchement away it was sometime to come yet so thankfully she could rest.
The guards opened the door to allow a female to enter the room, her eyes glanced towards this female vaguely remembering her from before. Yuri tried to rise slowly but the pain kept eatting at her body, her lips parted to relise a sigh," What do I owe the honor of this visit?" her voice was almost a whisper. She settled to lay against the bed as to allow her body to relax so the pain would stop. Yet the pain of the heart and the mind kept eatting at her over the mysterious thought dead till now were awakening fully in her mind but no names, or who there were came with the images but they seemed so familiar to the lord of this manor.

<Lenin> " You see yourself here, and you remember people and beasts from this land, but yet, you see them some time ago. A part of your past that has been lost to time. No? " She laughs vaguely as she enters the room and walks back and forth forming a semicircle in front of her. A quick set of the bones, and healing was to take place if she was to be ready in time, and this would not be pleasant, though Lenin would keep Yuri distracted with thoughts that would plague her mind until such a time that Darius decided to reveal actual fact. " You wish to reveal to your own self your connection to this place, but you see only silhouttes and shadows. " Lenin was a drow, and a fairly powerful healer. Not to mention the one least afraid of Darius' temper, and most likely to calm him down when he did get angry.
" I, too, see you, " She muttered as, without warning a force of bright white light flew like electricity into Yuri's chest and then to her ribcage where instantly one of her broken ribs snapped back together and began to push into each other. Relentlessly, she kept walking and talking, diverting her attention from the pain as much as possible. She would be bandaged, but she would need to be bandaged, and require some time to heal before she stressed her body too much, and that would happen after the party. " I see you as a lost child, crying for your parents, which soon you would forget and never remember again. But now, in Darius you see something....what is it? " Her hands, which had been floating back and forth, sliding her sleeves up did she reveal her onyx black skin that was mostly covered by her large overbearing cloak. It still covered her face, and her arms were the only visible signs of her being a drow, a fairly common thing here in Darkwatch, though they were still disliked in some parts of the world, and therefore, found it easier to hide it before entering an altercation. Her hands crossed, then as her fists clenched she pulled them fast across each other snapping another rib into place and a burn on her shoulder slowly disappeared with it. One word did she speak for now as she continued the healing process. "Intriguing, no?"
<Darius> Darius swiftly leaped from the ground with the katana and deflected three 'arrows' as he flipped over back still using the mirrored edge of the katana as eyes behind him and he dodged a diving harpie and drove his sword into it's back. It screamed and his landed upon it's hindquarters as he rode it to the ground while it still shot forth feathers which hit two of the other harpies in the eyes, thanks to the careful aim of Darius' vision trait which had now activated, causing his eyes to gleam green with streaks of azure in the iris. As soon as his foot touched the ground he flew off the harpie quick and threw the katana spinning end over end at another diving harpie as he, himself, dove for another. The katana was dodged but circled back around, thanks to his tweaking of the air currents created by it's wings did it lodge itself in the harpies back sending it spiraling to the ground releasing arrow feathers in multiple directions and finding residence in trees, the platform, and the ground below. It seemed the feathers never simply fell but always became imbedded in something. He landed on top of another of these bird/women and, being closely followed by a second he flipped off of it digging the spikes on the backs of his heals deep into it's eyes, sending them flying into each other. As it flipped through the air it faced the other advancing harpied and the outstretched feathers ready to be fired pierced into each other and the two birds instantly killed each other. He landed with a quake next to his sword and drew it, leaving it spinning this way and that slinging blood of it's edge until it came to a shine once more as he deflected light 'arrow' fodder. " Ha! Simple. "

The circlet began to glow once more as the pendant against her skin began to shimmer forming a dragon symbol inside. As the pendant began to hold some cracks a mist seemed to slither down around Yuri as it curled around her more visible it was in the form of a dragon. She opened her eyes when looking to the female having heard her words and felt the pain but wasn't really watching. A hand reached upwards did she remove the circlet from her forhead placing it upon the night stand beside the bed, as it was removed the mist dragon shattered having begun to form a shield against this woman's magic.
" Yes there is many questions that plague me, but when able I will seek out the answers." she said lightly. Yuri was feeling totally out of shape for when training she had always been able to take allot of pain before it was evident that she was in pain. Head rested back while her eyes closed once more did she not object to the healing, her body felt each pain but as she rests her hands upon her chest did she close her eyes once more. Drifting off into a meditation point so the pain wasn't felt, and her mind could review the new information pouring on her from the past.

<Lenin> " Darius really isn't a bad guy, it's just a lot has happened to him and he's...hardened from his pains. He tries to hide it, but you can see it in those eyes. So deep and repressed, the pain of losing those he loved. " She smiled as sweet as possible, as she softened her approach, knowing now it would make no difference how she went about healing. She dropped her theatrics, and began to pull all the bones at once together, and held all those bones in her rib cage that had been broken, and began to reverse the effects of having them severed. Slowly like spindling twine did the bone fragments pull bag together and the soft marrow flowed back into itself, creating single bones out of the two severed halves. " So, who does he remind you of? "
<Darius> He grunts slowly as he is seen sliding across the platform. He had taken hits to the chest from the arrows, and as he was not wearing his usual armor, the arrows easily pierced the light body suit of a stretchy material that was covered in leather in places, and he bore a single large piece of armor on his left shoulder which was covered by spikes. He came to a stop and felt it was time to end this. He sheathed his katana and turned sideways and leaned back narrowly avoiding another flurry of feathers. He pulled his bow and two solitary arrows and pulled them back to the extent at which it would seem the bow would snap in half. But, as it was made as another small token from his son, it was doubtful that this force would break the hefty bow. He released the arrows from a crouched position and rolled soon after avoiding a second barrage. The arrows, whose tips seemed to be made of some kind of black glass easily pierced three harpies in a row through the chest and stomach of two, and finally pinning the last to a tree by it's very eyes. The last of them were dead and bleeding around the platform, and as a guard came down to check the commotion he placed his bow back on his back and ordered that the mess be cleaned up as soon as possible. He would head now to go check on his....sister.

The bones began to heal, her body could feel the traces of the magic that was at work here. Yuri's eyes closed when she reached did inside her were the lights of her powers laid, her mind pushed the light outwards to flow through her body it would mix with this woman's healing powers to make them stronger. As the light merged with her blood it would move through her system as you watched did she take on a light gold glow now, her burns and scars began to fade once more. Once the pain had resided some did it allow her to push the effects of the healing quicker, and spread through her body. Around the ribs it went speeding the process of the bones rejoining creating a new layer over the areas that had broken to make them strong once more. Eyes stayed closed yet she could hear the females words, her hand reached upwards slowly to collect the book from the nightstand. As her fingers touched it does the book take on the gold glow for a moment then flip open to revile pages of images of the Ravenshield Past," Those who haunt my dreams, and memories. Face yet still unnamed or even found in the world I have lived all my life. Till now I had begun to give up on the hopes of learning who they were and if they were friends or family." her lips parted to whisper.
As her eyes opened did the glow die from around her figure allowing the healing to finish did she almost look like new other then marks that would remain for life upon her flesh. Yuri slowly raised to sit upright," Yes he strikes me as one that is good. I can usually tell or I would have left here by now." she said softly. She searched the room more to see it's furnacings and where she had been moved to.

<Lenin> " You wouldn't have gone anywhere in your shape. And he would've never let you leave until you knew the truth. There is a seal on this wing, absolutely no magic unless Darius permits it. "
<Darius> Darius walked through the door at this point and smiled. " That's true, though I would allow you to do whatever you pleased as long as you did not try to use it to leave, so please, do not feel that magic is restricted here, it's just to keep you safe, as well as others from you. " He smiled vaguely and nodded to Lenin, signaling that she could leave, though Lenin's rapid healing would progress on it's own at this point. " I must apologize for my behaviour before, it was rude and not like me. Please...allow me to explain. This...was once your home. And I...am related to you. Your parents are no longer with us, though. You were abducted as a child and honestly...I thought you dead all this time, we tried to track you, but it was to no avail. I am sorry...s-....sister..."

Yuri frowned at Darius when he entered the room,"Well that explains why the healing elements didn't take effect by now. " she said lightly," I am enchanted with healing elements to keep me from being sick or stay unhealed for long." She grumbles when the light in her body shatteres letting the healing undo till the other process was done sense it a seal was blocking her own healing. Eyes closed when she allowed the anger to reside when she wanted to yell at this man for the seal to prevent magic when it could have saved them all the trouble of healing her. At his last word did her eyes open quickly when she looked at him, her mind suddenly seemed clear on the images that had haunted her so long. Lips parted dropping open, her memories were clearest of Darius as he had always been the closest to her even when they had argued allot, yet he had always been her protector.
Yuri tried to stand to her feet but found it was still a stupid idea to try to stand," What happened to them? and how did I end up so far away from this place? You probably couldn't track me due to the fact I was several light years away in a place called Aegia, and Noria. " her tone was peaceful. She searched his eyes remembering them well now as her thoughts started to peace together," No br.....brother I am alive just been living in a world far from here." she spoke softly now remember he had been there with her through the dream state.

Darius sighed and walked over to Yuri, sitting next to her did he look deeply into her eyes, his own eyes, eerily being overtaken by what looked like shards of broken sapphire. His pupils began to dialate and he passed his hands over her own green orbs, causing them to flash brightly, glowing like his in the dimly lit room. But her eyes' strips did turn a bright white, instead of his and his son's blue. He had always seen so much of Yuri in Sarah, and now it was apparent why, she had the same vision trait as well. As he looked deeper into her eyes, she would see their parents death as he saw it.
<Second Sight> Two shadowy figures huddled together, furiously protecting a younger child began to scream as a man slowly and surely killed them both. It was Sieg and he was screaming from them to stop denying that they were hiding the No'vante book. The book of shielding which the Ravenshield line had come into contact with and Sieg had found out about it. Yuri had already been abducted many years before and it was just the three of them. After Sieg brutally slayed their parents he turned on Darius. His parents had given him the book after casting one of it's spells upon him and as Sieg swung on the child a large green luminescent orb around him appeared and stopped the sword 'Torment' in it's tracks. Try as he might Sieg could never penetrate the shield, and so he fled Darkwatch, leaving Darius orphaned to be raised by the monsters that lived there. Later on, he had met his wife, a Warheight, Syrus I's sister, travelling through Darkwatch to go to the Naos shrine, and that's how they met and fell in love. Later on, the vision of Syrus I as well as his wife was shown as the same monster slain them both.

Yuri's eyes blinked some as her vision changed to were she was seeing more, and farther but even better in the dim lite room. As she watched Darius did the scene he knew so well play in her vision as if she was seeing it first hand, her eyes closed as tears fall from the corners to caress down over her cheeks. She reached out taking his hands in her own," You have lost so many no wonder you thought I wasn't real or couldn't believe it. I can't even believe I found who my family was. " she whispered, her eyes opened did she look up to him," So much I have missed of your guys life. Our parent's death and you finding the one true love of ones life, and so what came of that I suppose I got other family also that are your children? What of the graves of our parents?" she asked softly. So many thoughts plagued her mind about this new knowledge, and what she wanted to learn.

The memory of his late wife pained him greatly. " Yes, you have a niece and a nephew living in Xexoria. " Darius opened his palm to the window and a gentle night breeze pushed it open and blew forth a small hankerchief that was on the nightstand embroidered with the Ravenshield crest upon it. He reached up and wiped a tear from her face before handing it to her with a pat on the back of the hand. " I'm sorry to bring you such bad news. And I realize it is not your place here, but...but if you find it necessary that you would leave...I'll just have to come with you. " He proclaimed in a somewhat final way, as if to not recall any argument from her. " There will be a celebration in another few hours, in your honor, please attend and stay at least until tomorrow's dawn, won't you? "

Yuri leaned forward did she slide her arms around him to give a hug," Brother no need to worry at this time. Yes in some point I will have to return to the world I have lived in. But I can learn to divide my loyalities to them and our family now that I know I have one. I would ask to learn about my bloodline and their duties." she whispered softly. Then settled back against the wall behind the bed, her eyes watched him when she thought about this new league of her life, and her mind was set to have a new set of orbs created when returning home to allow her to come back here when the need was there. Eyes looked out the window for a moment watching the shadows of the night," What will your people think when they learn about me? I will stay for the festivals and till I am summoned back." she said softly.
