Thread: Darkness Rising - TDM And Midget

Matera? Naiea ma komatia? Are we going out tonight or are we going straight home? Probably straight home, Im tired. Ok but on the way can we get some of that ti..ta.. that thing? The thing I like so much? Its called tiramisu my love. Yeah that! Can we? I dont see why not, youve been such a good boy today. Aracnia! The slightly foreign and majority English conversation was taking place in a small caf in the quarter known as Midnight Kisses, between a young woman, Atlantia was her name though she was known as Tia for various reasons, and a young boy who looked no older then maybe four or five by the name of Akakios, called Kio as it was something people had less trouble pronouncing. At the moment the two were straightening up the best they could, cleaning up before the workers for the nightshift came in. Due to the nightlife the city tended to have they were generally busier than the earlier shifts and as a result didnt have time to do much and while it wasnt required Tia and her tiny companion tired to make things a little easier for them by cleaning up just a bit before it was time for her to clock out. Well this is as straight as its going to get I suppose. Removing her apron the girl would make her way behind the register and into the kitchen, hanging up the sweetly decorated pink apron and waving good bye to the bakers before making her way back to the front to say goodnight to the manager. Mama Flo? Pale blue almost white eyes would scan the room for the owner of the shop, a rather old African-American woman by the name of Mama Flow. She had owned the caf longer than most of the workers here had been alive and considered it to be her little pride and joy, along with everyone in it. As new as Tia was she considered the older womans pride and joy as well, but at the same time it almost seemed as if the woman treated herdelicately for some reason. But that could have just been her imagination. Were over here! Kio would wave from a small table located near the front of the caf, the young boy in her bosses lap, a chocolate cupcake in his tiny hands and he seemed more than happy to have it. His pale white skin covered in chocolate icing, or at least his mouth anyway, and maybe a little of his nose, unbelievable joy in his deep green eyes. If not for the fact the older woman was guiding his hands there was a good chance his long raven locks would have also been covered in chocolate. Such a wonderful lil boy you have here Tia. I swear I could just eat em all up! Her thick southern drawl was hard to miss as she spoke. She would chuckle, the boy in her lap bursting into laughter as she tickled at his stomach. Well that would certainly keep me from giving him a bath later. Reaching over she would take the small child into her arms, placing him in on her hip, not minding, or probably not caring so much, about the chocolate getting all over her light blue blouse. Ive finished cleaning and clocked out, I need to pick this one up some treats on the way home so Im heading out. She would have loved to give the woman a goodbye hug but with how messy her shirt was now as well as the child in her arms well, that just wasnt going to happen. Alright. Youyou be careful ok? Keep yo eyes and ears open. Got it? Yes maam. Night. And with that the young woman would make her way out of the shop, three more employees coming in as soon as she exited, a heavy sigh escaping her. She waswell aware of the fact that she needed to be careful in the upcoming days. Two weeks, two weeks until her twenty first birthday and for the first time in three lives she intended to make it that far, to get the rest of her powers to live . That was her top priority and she ended to make sure she did it, if not for herself then for the tiny boy in her arms. As they walked Kio would munch on his cupcake happily until it was all gone, and at that point he would begin to lick the icing from his fingers and face the best he could. Suddenly though the boy would stop. Head snapping up from his fingers, green eyes swiftly moving back and forth, no longer dark in color but rather glowing, something of a twisted grin on his features, and somehow those lovely teeth he had been using to enjoy his cupcake with were now fangs. Matera? Naiea? The girl would stop, setting the boy down as he began to wiggle wildly in her arms, curious as to what he smelled or sensed. Actually no, she knew what it was, she just wished he didnt get so excited over it. But then again, he was still rather young. Do you smell that? Theres a group of them. Those bastards, they really are frequent around these parts arent they? I guess so. But focus, are they attacking someone? And what have I told you about cussing? Yeahsmells female but theres somethingoff about her. And grandma does it all the time! Grandma is not the best example sweetie. But go ahead, have fun, dont get caught or anything. No sooner had she said those words the boy was gone, out of sight. I guess I should probably follow him to make sure he doesnt get in trouble. With that the girl would also disappear, blond hair moving slowly in the wind as she also simply disappeared, onto a nearby rooftop, following the male to make sure he didnt get into too much trouble. A favor? The blue haired senshi would look down at the younger girl, curious as to what this favor could have been. At the same time though something told her now was not the time to ask such a question. All things would be answered in due time but until then, until then she simply had to wait and deal with what ever came at them as the answer to the questions she didnt even know. I suppose well- She stopped, as she watched Hotarus expression, moving to aid the girl she would instead stay in her place, that same pain rushing through her body. Ah, so thats why she stopped. We need to go, now before anything happens to her. Haruka would clutch her chest as the same feeling that ripped through her friends ripped through her as well. Making sure she had a good grip on the others hand she would nod to Hotaru, the violet haired girl quickly racing down the street and the other three following close behind. All she could do at the moment was hope that they werent too late, that the girl was ok, that they would get to her on time before anything to bad happened. It had been such a long, long, long time since any of the four females had seen the Forgotten Queen. They had carried her starseed for all these years so they knew she was alive, but they had never met the girl. If their paths crossed then they crossed, it wasnt something for them for force. So imagine the surprise the four were in for when a certain goddess had asked them for their help. At first it was a little unbelievable, or hell, very much so. It was safe to say at first they had thought it was a dream, old lives, past lives, coming back to haunt them, but that simply wasnt the case. If the goddess wanted their help and the queen needed their assistance then they would do whatever they could to make sure the job was done.
