///City of Gods Part III- Era 500 AC - The Fallen /// (Now Open!)

Max walked in and looked at shira, bowing his head lightly, seeing her in this sight."death is as cruel as it was back then. . . a bitter coldniss shrouds this room" He said, looking at her. He waved his hand in the air, slowly feeling it, as if tasting the poason."she will. . . . will rest soon i am afraid. . . .she does not have much energy left"

Aturok tryed to refrain from running over to her he hated to see one of his oldest and only friends suffering like this as he took 3 steps towards her before stopping and refraining getting closer and spoke real softly "Shara.....its me Aturok.....how ..." he refrained from completeing his question clearly she was suffering and thier was nothing they could do "awww shara....why did this have to happen to you.." he whimpred slightly looking at the bloody rags

"I am afraid you have to speak louder. She cant hear very well any more." Dora turned to Max. "And no.. There is no Cure for Daemarian Plague.. but don't worry.. you cant be infected unless you were a Daemarian or Demi-human. " Dora turned back to Aturok and then back to the door. "Who.. who is here?" Shara asked. She barely had any strength.

Aturok bit his lip going against his better judgement and he stepped closer to her at this point he didnt care if he caugth it as well he couldent bare to see his friend suffer alone he raised his voice still haveing a fair distance between them and smiled slightly "its me shara....Aturok....do you rember me?....we are here shara all of us..we are ok"

Max etched a symbol into the air, a sound current to them and her now created so that they wouldnt have to yell or shout for her to here. . . .nor would they have to get close to her and risk disease."There. . . .now you she should here us" He said as he walked closer to her and examined her. He was the only one that could get close to her and he shook his head, not likeing what he was seeing."everyone is here. . .shara...."

"How.. how is it you are here... Have you come to take me away?" Shara asked. She started to cough some more and hacked up some blood. Silvian continued to remain frozen stiff. Rune bowed, and even though Shara could not see him, he felt the gesture was more for his own comfort and respect to Shara. "We are all here Shara.. Very much alive.."

Aturok whimpred as he heard her speak and seen her cough up blood and he sighed "0h shara...you dont deserve this curse...if i could strip this illness from you and put it on myself i would..." he turned to Dora "is there a cure?...anything..any possible chance"

"There is no curse... The plague is our punishment..." Zean explained but for the most part remained silent after. "No.. Zean is right... there is no Cure.. There has never once or ever been one... Although I am not sure what Zean means by punishment.. I don't know a Daemarian today who deserves it... " Dora explained. "How.. How did she get inflected with..." Rune was interrupted by Shara. "I wish I could see you.. Elly must have saved you all.. I always hoped you were all right.. but when years went by I began to lose hope.. But Yet here you stand.. it makes me very happy.. Aturok... I missed you the most.. You where always kind to me..." Shara explained before coughing and hacking more.

Aturok smiled looking at her and nodded "ive missed you to shara....i heard your voice...before we were trapped..." he looked back at silvian still seeing him frozen in shock still as he looked back at her "shara..i will stay here as long as you want..all you have to do is ask ok?...we have 2000 years to catch up on" he reached down to a small pouch grabbing a small black stone from it and tossed it to one of the servants "make her hold this...it will help cool her body if she needs it.."

"..I had always hoped for you all to be safe.. Age has not been kind to me.. Nor has this illness... Please... I would like to talk to Aturok alone..." Shara requested. Dora looked around and gave the nurses a nod to signal to step out. They quesickly washed up with the best sanitizing and cleaning agents they knew and walked out. Humans not being able to be infected, ment they cant be carriers ether so getting sick from a human who had contact with someone of the Daemarian plague means they cant infect others, however being it is a illness not to be recon with, Dora made sure that they washed really well before leaving as a extra precaution. Silvian who was still frozen, Rune walked up to him grab his hand and pulled him out the door. Zean and the others fallowing. Shortly after the ones nursing Shara too stepped out, quickly setting the black stone down on a table by Shara to later be used and stepped out.

Aturok watched as they cleared the room and looked back at her and smiled "oh 2000 years hasent affected you much your still smart and good looking as you were back then" he smiled trying to brighten her spirits and he started steadily paceing but not taking hiis eyes off her "you were always one i could trust shara..."

"And I believe you are the one I could trust. There is... there is something... I want you to do... I need you to do... for me..." Shara said and coughed and hacked. Meanwhile Silvian and the others waited outside the room patiently.

Aturok tilted his head still paceing countinueing to be curious on what she would need as he felt a almost worried feeling inside and managed to work out some words "yes shara...what would you ask of me..anything" he wanted to get closer and help her with the rags but couldent he felt so restricted

"You... you can do it... Just using your power.. you could do it without having any real contact with me... They wont help me no matter how much I bag.. I am suffering Aturok.. I... I want you to end my life... I want you to take away my pain... In Daemaria.. the elders burned those infected.. it was a kindness... you.. you could use your ice... I wouldn't ask any one else.. I trust you... Please I bag you.. I am of no use any more.. there is no cure.. I will remain here to rot and die in agony...." She coughed and choked and tears ran down her face.

Aturok fought back a tear as long as he could before it streamed down his cheek he knew it would be the right thing to do but he didnt know if he had the strength to kill a old friend even through a act of mercy "shara......i...i will do it...but you have do one thing for me.....give me 3 days...i..i need to know for myself thier is no cure..if i can save your life im going to do it shara...please.."

Shara couldnt speak nay more her entire body started shaking as she had some form of seizure. it was now time to leave and get the servants to aid her and continue on for information from Dora.

"im sorry old friend....i will return soon i promise..." Aturok quickly walked to the door and left as he walked over towards the servents "get in there now..she needs help.." he walked around until he caught up with the others and he walked up to dora "who here knos the most about this plauge..where it started?...anything..."

"The plague... came from a boy..." Dora explained and walked towards a new chamber. "This way we can talk more in here." She sat down in the room, which inside had a large stone table and chairs. "This is the meeting room... Sit..." She announced as two daemairan Gaurds closed the doors behind them. Silvian and Rune sat next to each other, just as Zean and Daemon had did the same. "... There is a few things you should know once you all have been seated." Dora explained.

Aturok waited til they al were seated and he found a open seat and sat down looking around at then looked over at Dora looked over at her waiting for answers as his mind stayed focused on the plauge and shara thinking back to her request sent a sharp pain through his heart again "ok...we are seated..now spoeak....please..."

"While you were gone, Grias had taken a majority of all the Daemarians into tribe.. Ave and Shara included. Even myself was among the captured. I was amoung the servants of Grias' clan... to future become a barer of a Tribe child... was much to young though so it was only for when I would be of age... Shara however.. was to become Grias bride... He raped her several times.. Aturok.. Grias raped her... We eventually managed to escape with Ave and hand full of others. This is where things get more complicated. Shara bore the child of Grias... The boy is only about 1500 years old now. Early on he was taken by Grias and... he is now the Son and Prince of the Daemarian Empire..."

Sivlian shook his head. Why did this have to happen to shara... This was Shara...

".. Now Ave.. Ave too is Ill..." This suddenly struck a nerve with Zean. He quickly stood up. "Daemarian plague!?" He asked looking at her. "Yes... infact if I recall your his father... Then you have the right to know.. Ave is Paitent Zero... he is the cause of the Daemarian plague... He infected Shara and many others... It is not his fault as the signs dont show at all in a early age, it becomes dorment untill they reach maturety... but yes.. he was infected..." Dora was cut off my Zean. "You fool when where you going to tell me about Ave.. You are all here worried about Shara but Ave... I want to see him at least!' Zean shouted. "Calm your self... Ave is not with us otherwise I would have brought you to him. For what ever the reason, his illness is slower then others. Could be because he is a strange bread. Not sure how it possible but he is half Husky and have Leopard... the illness has slowed for him so he only has the mild symtoms, but he is still contagous. He is being kept some where else for his own safety. Other Daemarians dont see things the way we all do.. many blame him and hate him, they say its his fault.. of course you and me both know that isnt the case." She explained.

"Damn right its not his fault.. It is mine...." Zean announced and everyone even Dameon was caught off guard and surprised by this announcement. "To be more accurate.. it was the Goddess' fault..." He growled.

"what do you mean the plauge came from the boy?...like in his blood...is he some sort of carrier for this plauge..." it killed him to think of what grias must have done to shara and the pain she must have endured as he did his best to shake the thought away and stayed focused as he thought about it "so the secret would lay within the boy...where can i find him?" he leaned against the table looking at her

"Zean what do you mean this is your fault? What do you mean its more the goddess? What does you and the Goddess have anything to do with this?" Silvian growled. "Because.. you want to know so badly why I do not care for the well being of your goddess... Is because She is the cause of the Plague.. The plague is our Punishment from several thousands of years ago... when Daemarians turned against her.. She may be kind and gentle and nice.. but the original goddess was Evil and wicked... it was no wonder the Daemarians turned against her..." Zean explained and before all knew it Silvian was back to pummeling his face. Rune quickly grabbed Silvian again this time with Dameons help to pull him away from Zean. "You are not allowed to speak ill of Kaylay.. Elly.. Claire.. and any others before and after her!" Silvian growled.

Dora sighed and turned to Zean who was on the floor and getting back up. "I dont know much about you Zean only that your are one of the Elders of Daemaia... however.... Ever since time was restored in the Gates of Destiny and many of our people was saved, so was many of the elders...." Dora said, this had caught Zeans attention right away but Dora was not finished. "You by all acounts have betrayed our people... I dont think I nor any daemarian not even the rest of the Elders would ever see you as a Elder... and in this place.. I am in charge... I am the Lady of War here... there for you are under my roof... You will not Speak Ill about the Goddess while I am here... Is that understood...." Dora growled and Silvian had a mean grin on his face. "And you Silvian should Shut up untill I you are spoken too! Is THAT!!! Understood!" Dora snapped at him. Silvians ear went flat but he nodded in agreement and he sat down again.

Aturok just sat back and rubbed his forehead almost ashamed of thier behavior and thier bickering like animals and sat there and let her put them in thier place glad he wasent going to have too "forgive them....they dont realize that few seconds for us was 2000 years of misery for you and the others..ive sworn to protect elly kaylay and any others to come...even our little group has bad blood...but i need your guidence..i want to go on the offensive...i need to know the way to grias kingdom..i wont endanger anyones life but my own"

max watched with miled interest as everything was unravveled. "so there it is, the whole truth, though im sure there are many gaps" he looked at dora and smiled."not to take the side with the pridefull zean, but the gods have abandoned there world"

"..So Zean.. care to enlighten us as to why you say Ave illness is your fault?" Dora asked. "..Because my mother was infected with the Daemarian plague when I was born. However I am immune to it. I can not get sick from the Plague nor do I have it in any active state. However it would seem Ave who is my son inherited it Plague from me and somehow became active once more and not immune. This is proof that I have the plague still in my system but clearly dormant for me, not dormant for my son. The only reason my son is even in existence was because of a woman named Ariel... Ariel Castafire. During the daemarian war, there was a Castafire.. In fact we were less strict about outsiders at the time and some of us was allowed to come and go as we please. Ariel learned of my condition being Sterile and I wanted to have a child. She granted me the miracle to no longer be sterile that I can have kids. She was kind like your other Castafires, it broke my heart to know what had happened to her.... Anyways... I became a elder and I fell in love with a married woman. A husky woman named Sincillia. We became secret lovers until one day she learned she was pregnant. Pregnant with a impossible child. My child. She went into hiding for a while till the day she could give birth to Ave. To protect her marriage and to protect my place as a Elder.. And knowing that the child was a mutt a first hybrid he would be looked down as a freak. We had to protect our selves and so we had to abandon him in the outside world. Luckily I knew of a hidden passage in the outside world... We left Ave out where we knew outside daemarians would find him and maybe care for him. Sincillia never wanted to see me after that, not because of Ave him self but because I was the freak that was capable of having a hybrid child. She never wanted to risk her husband and so we were allowed to see each other no more. I my self regretted ever since leaving Ave, I tried to go back for him but by the time I went out into the world he was already gone. So I was to continue living my life as a Elder. Now you know the personal side of me and about my son..." Zean calmly explained.
