The red-eyed boy frowns at him. "How?" He asks after a few seconds of silence. The Queen? Dead? Not that it really concerned him, but how? How is she still moving and breathing?

[CrimsonMoon]

Fae stares at Casshern, her pupils dilated impossibly small and her breath rattling in her throat.

" well... Atleast her body is... Her spirit isnt. She's merely possessed," Casshern murmurs," It would make sense... But to have possession of so many, one would have to have incredible power... Possibly like that of a Dragon Lord."

[deepwallow]

The red-eyed boy frowned as he took this in. That would explain things, really. "What about the helm?" The boy ask, glancing at the dented thing. "It's almost like her life source."

[CrimsonMoon]

Casshern glances at the helm and taps his lip," I heard that it was possessed by a nine tailed fox spirit she had raised. It came to love her so much that it eventually took over her body in order to help her... She sealed it into the helm but i don't think it is a spirit... Dad?" He glances at vires," what do you think?"

[deepwallow]

Vires froned and scratched his chin in thought. "Hmm….. Perhaps…. Whomever has 'brought her back' from the dead could've enchanted the helm to keep her alive, drawing on the fox's power as well. That or perhaps the fox was driven out by another source."

[CrimsonMoon]

" She's not dead... Atleast, she could live normall after we fix this..." He frowns and purses his lips," We just to find who did this

[deepwallow]

"It's the Dragon Lord." The red-eyed boy said softly, staring at the helm. Vires looked at him curiously. "What makes you so sure?" Vires asked. The boy shrugged. "I just do."

[CrimsonMoon]

Casshern frowns and closes his eyes," I can't sense any trail... We might need to ask Mom for help..."

[deepwallow]

Vires blinked at that and grew silent, sighing. "Alright. Will you attend to that, Casshern? I'm going to try and patch up the rest of the girl's wounds now that she's breathing well again." He said, moving off to get the medical supplies

[CrimsonMoon]

Casshern frowns but nods," Come on, blood eye, you can meet her," he smiles faintly at the red eyed boy

[deepwallow]

"Blood Eye" glanced up at Casshern warily, but after a moment of hesitation he got up and walked over to Casshern, nodding for him to proceed. Might as well, since there was nothing else he could do at the moment without his weapon

[CrimsonMoon]

Casshern grasped the boy's arm tightly as he stepped off the platform. Landing heavily but somehow managing to keep the boy from landing too hard," What's your name?" Casshern asks as he approaches the altar

[deepwallow]

"Shen." He replied simply, looking at the altar with curiousity. "You?"

[CrimsonMoon]

Casshern," he replies briskly, a soft red glow following his finger tips," don't call me cass, Nikita does that, and i kick her cass," he smirks

[deepwallow]

Shen cracked an extremely small smile at that, but it disappeared almost instantly and he observed Casshern work curiously

[CrimsonMoon]

Hen the whole altar was bathed in red light, he traces the dragon, the lion, the wolf and the ocelot with his finger, murmuring beneath his breath... A tiny pulse ripples out and suddenly everything is bathed in a soft white sheen,"... Casshern?" A voice calls out from the forest

" Yes mum.."

[deepwallow]

Shen watches in faint awe, but is instantly on guard when he hears the voice, looking around for the source. He didn't really trust anyone here just yet

[CrimsonMoon]

A lithe spotted cat appears from the trees, stepping toward them on silent paws, steel grey eyes taking Shen in," You brought a friend. I thought you were strictly antisocial," the cat teases

A large lion had appeared in the place of casshern, approaching the much smaller ocelot," Keep teasing, mum, you're wasting your own time," it rumbles, a small cat-like grin curling back its lips

[deepwallow]

Shen looks surprised but stays silent. However, he feels a sudden stab of pain in his chest and heat. He doesn't flinch or grimace, but clenches his teeth instead, bearing the pain as he observes the two speaking. What was this agony?

[CrimsonMoon]

The ocelot approaches Shen, the cat circling him once,"... Hm... Poor boy," it murmurs sympathetically

Casshern frowns but watches
