<Trajan> *raises head to the air*
<Gaiganny> he's still asleep.

<Gaiganny> She's playful again, and curious. She wonders where
Trajan is
<Gaiganny> Takes off down a trail back to the old lands
<Trajan> *hears whispers*
<Trajan> *whispers*
<Gaiganny> A clearing and she flies the rest of the way
<Trajan> rrrr....
<Gaiganny> she flies fast, rolls and tumbles
<Gaiganny> Soon she comes to the forest and has to land
<Trajan> *sees the stars*
<Trajan> *growls lightly.... a light shudder*
<Trajan> rrr.....

<Gaiganny> She walks through and sees the familiar rock outcrops
between trees

<Gaiganny> Soon she has to go back to the path. Can't stay on the
rocks
<Trajan> *a thin line of blood trickles down his beak...*
<Gaiganny> A rustling
<Gaiganny> she thought she heard something
<Trajan> grrr.....
<Gaiganny> She hides behind a rock
<Gaiganny> The canopy is think and its dark, she's concealed well
<Trajan> *swipes blood from his mouth*
<Gaiganny> thick
<Trajan> gRRrrr.... *breath shortens...*
<Gaiganny> thinks, "He has to come by here. He always did before."
<Gogar> mmm Gaiganny
<Trajan> *whispers become shouts* kill her.

<Trajan> *BRING HER!*
<Gogar> Eye still closed he stretches a claw out for her

the time
<Gaiganny> She's behind the rock

She'll be great at getting new land
<Trajan> *raises hand to head* no....
<Gaiganny> eew that's not edible

<Trajan> *pushes her away. It's light, but she stumbles away.

<Trajan> I told you...to leave...
<Trajan> I told you...
<Gaiganny> Are you alright Trajan?
<Gogar> *flying in the distance. Hears the roar*
<Gogar> Oh my. I hope she's not in that area
<Trajan> *slowly wipes the blood from his mouth, looks at it, then snaps
his head around to look at her*
<Gaiganny> *stares wide eyed*
<Trajan> I told you NEVER to follow me Gaiganny!
<Gaiganny> I...I...
<Trajan> You have NO idea what could have just happened.
<Trajan> *rises to full height*
<Gaiganny> *glad to see him stand*
<Trajan> When I tell you something, I MEAN it!
<Trajan> It is for your own good.

<Trajan> And?
<Gaiganny> aaaand uh....
<Gaiganny> I flew
<Gaiganny> over...
<Gaiganny> a
<Gaiganny> lake~~~~~~
<Gaiganny>
<Trajan> *sees a shape in his mind, it's vague, he can't place it*
<Gogar> lands at the edge of forest
<Gaiganny> I'm hungry
<Trajan> *continues to stare at her*
<Trajan> Continue.
<Gaiganny> oh ok
<Trajan> *sees the shape again, two of them*
<Gaiganny> I'm really hungry....
<Gaiganny> see my tummies making noise
<Gaiganny> eeeew
<Trajan> *ignores her attempt to change the subject* Finish what you
began.
<Gaiganny> well you see...
<Gaiganny> I've...
<Gaiganny> met...
<Trajan> Him.
<Gaiganny> (Whisper
<Gaiganny> "someone"
<Gaiganny> huh?
<Trajan> *the shapes become clearer...the sensation that ripped
through his body is still sour in his mind*
<Trajan> *he growls*
<Gaiganny> mmmmmm
<Trajan> It is not just someone, is it?
<Gaiganny> *doesn't realize, but she's smiling
<Trajan> *growls again*
<Gaiganny> uh? no it isn't.
<Gaiganny> I've taken...
<Gaiganny> a
<Gaiganny> *under her breath*
<Gaiganny> mate
<Trajan> *eye blazes*
<Trajan> You
<Trajan> what?
<Gaiganny> *steps back more*
<Trajan> *places his hand under her chin and lifts her head gently, but
his eye is enraged* You...What?
<Gaiganny> I've....
<Gaiganny> taken a mate *looks away*
<Gogar> sees claw marks on trees from her hoping
<Trajan> *gently moves her face to look at him* A mate? A MATE?!
<Gaiganny> yes
<Trajan> *lets her go suddenly*
<Trajan> Tell me it is not who I believe it to be.
<Trajan> Gaiganny...
<Trajan> Tell me.
<Gaiganny> I don't know, but he's someone special to me
<Trajan> WHO is it?!
<Trajan> *his teeth are clenched, he tries to relax himself*
<Gaiganny> well, uh he's blue
<Gaiganny> *he'll remember him yellow*
<Gaiganny> and loves me very much
<Trajan> grrr....
<Gaiganny> What that's important in a mate, not someone that's gonna
kill me
<Trajan> *growls again, the ground vibrates*
<Gogar> *feels it and goes in that direction*
<Trajan> WHO..Gaiganny....?
<Gaiganny> Why does it matter?
<Gaiganny> I picked someone!
<Trajan> *just glares at her*
<Gaiganny> *covers her beak didn't realize she yelled*
<Trajan> *sees the shapes again, focusing*
<Trajan> His NAME Gaiganny.
<Gaiganny> ~~~~~Gogar~~~~~ *in a whisper*
<Trajan> *eye steadily gets brighter*
<Gaiganny> mmmmmm
<Trajan> What did you say?
<Gaiganny> *tilts sideways*
<Gaiganny> mmmmm
<Gaiganny> *smiling*
<Trajan> *breaths are becoming slow and menacing, eye is pulsing*
<Gaiganny> *thinking of him*
<Trajan> *reaches past her and clutches a tree directly behind her*
<Trajan> Say his name...AGAIN.
<Gaiganny> *She wakes* AAAAA
<Gaiganny> ~~Gogar~~
<Trajan> Say you did not say Gogar Gaiganny...
<Trajan> *hand digs into the tree bark*
<Gaiganny> I did
<Gaiganny> Gogar
<Gaiganny> He's mine!
<Trajan> *says nothing, his eye is a thin glowing slit*
<Gaiganny> mine
<Trajan> *with a wooden snap his hand clenches and the tree breaks...
falls*
<Trajan> What?
<Gaiganny> I've taken Gogar as my mate. *firmly*
<Trajan> Have you taken leave of your senses *so angry his voice is a
barely audible whisper*
<Trajan> what have you done Gaiganny?
<Gaiganny> Fallen in love
<Trajan> Have you ANY idea what you have done?!
<Trajan> Gogar was DEAD!
<Gaiganny> found my better half
<Gaiganny> grrrr
<Trajan> YOU killed him.
<Gaiganny> You killed me!
<Trajan> And I revived you.
<Gaiganny> And I him!
<Trajan> But I did not do so with the intention of taking you as a mate!
<Gaiganny> *Just stares wide eyed*
<Trajan> He was dead, he was to have REMAINED dead!
<Trajan> You have no idea what you've done!
<Gaiganny> Then why not me too?
<Trajan> No idea...
<Trajan> You had no desire to die!
<Gaiganny> And neither did he!!!
<Gaiganny> We are very much alike!
<Trajan> Gogar had given his life, he gave it to you. he died. THAT was
to be the end of it. Now you have made things worse. Now thing will be
as they were not meant to be....
<Trajan> *glares at her* The two of you are NOTHING like.
<Gaiganny> Meant to be? WE WERE MEANT TO BE!
<Gaiganny> We are more alike than you realize
<Gaiganny> That YOU do not understand!
<Trajan> If only you knew Gaiganny. He will bring you more pain that you
can handle.
<Trajan> More pain than you could have EVER realized.
<Gaiganny> Huh, and you haven't???
<Gaiganny> He would not hurt me
<Trajan> I gave you the life you did not want to leave. HE will be the
death of you.
<Gaiganny> I was the death of him, you were the death of me, I've been
there.
<Trajan> You abused the power you were endowed with, misused it for
a meaningless purpose that will only serve to make you suffer worse
than death itself!
<Trajan> He was dead. he was to have remained dead.
<Gaiganny> Abuse was when I unmercifully took a life!!!
<Gaiganny> NO!
<Gaiganny> He was and is as full of LIFE as I AM!!!!!
<Trajan> You took his life. It was yours to take. he gave it to you. You
not only understood death, you began to realize the scope of your
powers.
<Gaiganny> I DIDNT want to kill him!!!
<Trajan> NOW you have shattered what you have learned! It was all for
naught.
<Trajan> Yes Gaiganny, you DID.
<Gaiganny> I have learned that, what I did was Wrong!!!!
<Gaiganny> What do you know of what I THINK!!!!
<Gaiganny> OR FEEL!!!!
<Gaiganny> YOU HAVE NO FEELINGSSSS
<Gogar> *hears the screams* Gaiganny?
<Trajan> No Gaiganny, THIS is wrong! Bringing him back from the dead
was wrong! He was dead, content in death, there was no reason to
bring him back!
<Gaiganny> *steps into the light, walks over behind Gai, puts arms
around her*....
<Trajan> My feelings... repressed under a load of un reconcilable acts,
deeds you could never comprehend... But it matters not.
<Gaiganny> Content? Only if she was mine. Then she gave herself to
me. I would do it all over again.
<Trajan> *glares hard at Gogar*
<Gaiganny> EEEEE!!!
<Gaiganny> Gogar!!!!
<Gogar> I missed you.
<Trajan> *growls*
<Gogar> *Looks up* You must be Trajan.
<Trajan> *glares harder*
<Gaiganny> *hugs him*
<Trajan> And you are a dead Gigan.
<Gogar> No I was.
<Trajan> And you will be again.
<Trajan> *takes a step towards him*
<Gogar> *Stands his ground*
<Gaiganny> I was a dead Gigan
<Gaiganny> we are a like!
<Gaiganny> We are one!
<Trajan> *another step, another*
<Gaiganny> both back away
<Trajan> You are NOT one with this... thing.
<Gogar> *He stands in front of Gai though*
<Gogar> *glares at Trajan*
<Gogar> Oh, but she is
<Gogar> and I a part of her
<Trajan> I think not.
<Trajan> *another step, he's right before him*
<Gogar> then think that.
<Gaiganny> I love him he...
<Gaiganny> makes me happy!
<Gaiganny> *smiles*
<Trajan> He makes NOTHING.
<Trajan> *another step, his eye never leaving Gogar*
<Gogar> *looks at Gai. Then looks at Trajan. Smiles*
<Trajan> Except your misery.
<Gogar> And what do you make for her?....
<Trajan> Something a dead Gigan like you could never
comprehend.
<Gogar> *backs up a little*
<Trajan> Leave or die. Again.
<Trajan> *eye flashes, he's dead serious*
<Gogar> You do not know me...
<Gogar> and you judge me?
<Gaiganny> two dead Gigans perfect I say!
<Trajan> I do not have to judge you. your judgment came when
Gaiganny killed you. A verdict I fully agree with.
<Gaiganny> Yeah I could have picked a killer or a scumbag
<Gaiganny> HEY
<Gaiganny> I wasn't supposed to kill him!!!!
<Gaiganny> I didn't want to!!!
<Gaiganny> You're so...
<Trajan> Gaiganny was fine long before she stumbled upon the likes of
yourself.
<Gaiganny> SO....
<Gaiganny> AAAAAAHHHH
<Gogar> *Looks at Gai sees the smile has left her face*
<Gogar> And now she's happier
<Gaiganny> YEAH!
<Gogar> She smiles
<Trajan> *growls, it's thunderous*
<Gogar> I don't see her smile around you
<Trajan> *lunges forward, silent*
<Trajan> *rears back right hand*
<Gogar> *Surprised, but quickly forms a shield*
<Gogar> *braces himself*
<Trajan> *slams fist into Gogar's shield*
<Trajan> *there is a loud thunder as it resists, then shatters*
<Gogar> *eye goes wide*
<Gogar> Thoughts in a split second
<Gogar> NO!....
<Trajan> *Trajan's fist travels through and smashes into Gogar
himself*
<Gogar> "How can that be?....
<Gogar> NO one can break my shield. No one ever has!"
<Gogar> NNNNAAAAHHHHHH
<Trajan> *Gogar is ripped from Gaiganny and sent hurtling through the
air, smashing through a number of trees*
<Gogar> *PAIN*
<Gaiganny> YAAAAHHHHHHH
<Gaiganny> *Amazed how fast it happens and yet how slow*
<Trajan> *silent, infuriated, like a cat stalking its prey, Trajan stalks after
him*
<Gogar> *He feels himself break through the trees then hits hard on the
ground*
<Gogar> nnnhhhh~~~~~~~`
<Gaiganny> GOGAR!!!!!!!!
<Trajan> *flexes his fingers, in a graceful motion his arm draws back
and his energy scythe blazes forth*
<Gaiganny> *Spreads her wings and flies*
<Gaiganny> *Speeds past Trajan*
<Gaiganny> *Lands over Gogar and covers him with her body*
<Gaiganny> GET BACK!
<Gaiganny> *Her eye blazes*
<Trajan> *Swings the scythe, stops it a millimeter in front of Gaiganny's
face*
<Gaiganny> *She doesn't flinch*
<Trajan> Get.. out... of my way.
<Gaiganny> GET BACK
<Trajan> *his voice is low, cold*
<Gaiganny> YOU GET OUT OF OURS
<Gaiganny> *hers is coming in growls, something he's never heard*
<Trajan> I said.. MOVE Gaiganny!
<Gogar> nnnhhh
<Gaiganny> GRrrrrr
<Gaiganny> Get away yourself
<Trajan> *thinks of tossing her aside*
<Trajan> *the scythe is still blazing*
<Gaiganny> She puts her claws around him
<Trajan> You wish to join him in a second death?
<Trajan> *hopes she does not call him on it*
<Gaiganny> Till death do we part! I'll go if he does!!
<Gaiganny> BACK OFFF!
<Gaiganny> YOU kill him and I'll....
<Trajan> *growls*
<Gaiganny> take you down....
<Gaiganny> and if I can't I will take myself down!!!!
<Trajan> *considers her words*
<Gaiganny> I'll sever all ties to you!!!
<Gaiganny> GET BACK!
<Gogar> eee
<Gaiganny> *Her wings start to open*
<Trajan> *reaches past her and clutches Gogar by the throat. Growls*
You shall live, today. I regret my decision to not kill you Gogar.
<Trajan> *looks at Gaiganny, lets Gogar go*
<Trajan> Soon, you will as well.
<Gaiganny> *FLAPS! Cuts his hand!
<Gaiganny> LEAVE!
<Trajan> *clasps her wing, just as he did the first time he killed her*
<Trajan> *the blood rushes from the cut, but he holds her wing a
moment, then lets go*
<Gaiganny> *With all her strength, she lifts him in the air....
<Gaiganny> then quickly flies away with him*
<Gaiganny> *Doesn't look back*
<Trajan> *watches them leave*
<Trajan> *growls*
<Trajan> You have no idea what you have done Gaiganny...
<Gaiganny> *wonders how she's strong enough to lift him but flies on*
<Trajan> None whatsoever.
<Trajan> *killherTrajankill her kill her kill her Trajan Trajan kill kill kill kill*

there. she lays him down*
<Gogar> Gai...ga...nn..
<Gaiganny> shhh, you're safe, I have you now. Only I knew of this place.
