[color=92278f]"I'll have a small plate of the finest water you have, if you would be so kind."[/color] As Eos went to fulfill his order, Yamato sat in a corner of the cafe and caressed the fur of San-D, who was sleeping on the table, along with the other hamsters. He had been silent ever since his encounter with a person he didn't dream of ever seeing again, the one who changed his life forever. [color=92278f]"San-D, you were commendable today,"[/color] he softly spoke to his beloved pets. [color=92278f]"To think that of all the people who walk this earthly realm I would meet her..."[/color] Memories of the past flooded back to his mind. They were filled with broken promises, betrayal and ultimately, grief. He wished to see the future that laid before him, but knew that even if he focused all his might, the Evil Eye would stay blinded from his destiny. There was one thing he didn't have to foresee to be absolutely sure about, though; the path before him would be filled with hardships. Nevertheless, he was clear in his [url=http://i.imgur.com/oAuYXye.png]conviction.[/url] [color=92278f]"Tokusada Orihime, who I once cherished many moons ago...I will deliver judgement upon you, and release you from your madness."[/color] Eos returned, and placed the plate of spring water on the table. The hamsters drank from it enthusiastically. [color=92278f]"My Four Dark Devas of Destruction, drink deep of the elixir of life. Sharpen your claws and steel your resolve, for we shall go to war."[/color] If he was to be victorious over the shadows of his past, he had to co-operate with the others, for his opponent was also allied with warriors of great strength, as he found out when a wounded Kelin was brought to the cafe. He stood up from his seat, and left his Devas momentarily; even animals needed moments of peace by themselves. He went to check on the young boy. He started speaking to whoever was looking after him there: [color=92278f]"She used this boy as bait...as expected of her. We are not the only ones out there on the hunt; an opposing faction is building in power. And with someone like Tokusada Orihime at their side, they are to be wary of. They are opponents far more deadly than any youkai. To stray alone into the darkness of the Crimson Sky in our current situation is sure to end in tragedy."[/color]
