Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ren was drenched in cold sweat as he shut his eyes tight and breathed heavily. When Rosily barely even touched him, he cringed away from the feeling, afraid that anything that touched him would cause him pain.. 'What.. did she do to me..?' he thought. Ren opened his eyes slightly and consintrated on breathing.. it slowed down to a more calming pace as his vision returned to normal. He tried sitting up, but instead, rolled onto his back and leaned on his elbows to support him. When he looked around and saw Rosily, his body tensed, but he didn't get up. 'I know what this girl has done, but why do I also feel drawn to her..? Why do I feel like I need to stay by her side and be her loyal servant..? After what she did to me...' he trailed off in his thoughts and realized he was able to move something that didn't used to be part of his body. 'I have wings.. that's strange.. did I go through some sort of transformation..?' He had so much to think about, but decided to think about it later. He looked at Rosily again and said in a plain and unchanging voice, "I should hate you..." he sat up and stared at her, "I should want to kill you for what you did to me..." he then stood up and stared down at her with a blank face, looking like he was about to strike her, but held out his hand instead, "So... tell me... why don't I feel that way..?" his expression turned into sad confusion as he looked down at her, waiting for her to take his hand..

Diva was the first to talk"That's how all Chevalier feel after they become chevalier, you see the bond Rosaly made with is did not only transform it created a sort of Queen/servant bond between you too."She said

(Diva needs a chevalier)

For some reason, her tears brought him sadness too. He didn't even know her, and yet was drawn to her now.. "No.. don't be like that.." he said as he gently wiped away her falling tears, still holding onto her hand. Ren pulled her closer to an embrace where his mouth was by her ear and he whispered, "I feel it is my duty to protect you.. and I promise I will.. I feel drawn to you now.. I don't hate you.. so please don't hate yourself.." the flash of her name came to him in that instant, ".. Rosily.. I will be yours to control.. I am your guardian and humble servant.. I will protect you... Rosily... please let me..." and with that, he stepped away, still holding onto her hand and looking into her eyes with tenderness; but when he turned to face Diva and Elena, that tenderness faded and he had the same look on his face when Diva first started talking to him while he was up in the tree, "My name is Renauke, but you can call me Ren. I'd like to know what happened to me in a full explanation and what the situation is with you three first, before I start asking anymore questions." he said plainly. 'I hope what I said will make her happier..' he thought, with Rosily's hand still in his, 'I meant every word.. but I'd like to know what's going on and why they happened to chose me.. I feel good now though.. stronger than I was.. I probably look different too.. but why would these three women need protecting? Is something after them? And if so, then what? Well.. I'll have those answered in a moment..' he stood perfectly still and continued to look at Diva and Elena blankly.

Elena looked up at Ren when Diva said her name, "If you're wondering why we chose you, well, that Rosily chose you; I think it was just because you were here.. right mother?" She looked at her mother for guidence to see if she was right, "Right now, he's in his released form, but he would go back to normal if he wasn't, right?" she asked Diva.

Rosily listened quietly as Ren whispered to her, the tears stopped, leaving her face wet. His words did sooth her and she became calm, but they left her hurting on the inside; deep down she knew that she'd changed him, that he felt he had to say those things. But she believed he meant them, at least now he was her chevalier. She held his hand too, and stood beside him when he stepped back.
Rosily looked down when Elena explained why she choose him, wishing it wasn't true. Ren didn't deserve this. She squeezed his hand, but didn't look up. "Ren, I'm sorry I did that. Please believe me, it was stupid of me to act so compulsively. Ren, you're... not human anymore." She paused and took a shaky breath, and looked him in the eyes like he'd at her, and finished what she had to say. "You... we are what are know as vampires."

Rosily drank in Ren's words, and a small, genuine smile formed on her face as she leaned in to hug him. "Thank you," she said simply, and actually felt better about their situation. He's right... And I think... I love him for that... Rosily thought as he held him tight, and for a moment she forgot Diva and Elena were there. It seemed finding them both had happened years ago, not hours, so much had happened. Rosily's smile grew. "You know what?" she asked Ren looking up at him, meeting his gaze warmly.

"What?" he asked softly as his gentle smile didn't waver, his eyes still gazing into her's, his arms around her in a warm embrace.. 'She's actually happy..' he thought, and then laughed internally in his mind, 'I'm glad..' he hugged her tighter then, knowing that her smile would grow more because of it..
