Justicar: ;;having been cast out as he had, he took it upon hismelf to find solace within the darkness and seek the comfort of ht enight tha thad engraciated him since the dawn fo hsi existance. In the dark of night the flippant flicker of those flowing wingtips weaved across the horizon to work their way onward like a pure glider's beacon. each beat of the rythmic midnight magesty took in the glazing sheen of pooling moonlight that coated them in the thin reflection of ehterial blue. The weave of his hair wove back down snapping across his features like a spiralling flame unfurled, soaring like the streaming trails of a comet as he passed through the night.  Upon reaching the hallowed gardens once more,  J twisted hsi head to snap away the errant strands that remained and narrowed his eyes upon the horzion below to seek solace;:

Gabrielle: ::Gabrielle had been standing at the bank of the waterfalls.. growling as she stared into it.. the very water below boiling over. hands were balled into fists as she shook her head, gritting her teeth. Wings were a flare as she stood there in the silence of the night.. Upset? yea, one could say that. but it was more than that.. Gabrielle had family issues on her mind. more importantly.. obstructions .. letting out a howling scream as she thrushed both hands down to the water, to bring it to a whisping spiral drain to the lake.. ::

Justicar: To say the least... there was.. confusion. Though he'd arch hsi right brow as he took int he looks of the specimine of anger that remained before him as his right brow arched at the pool of water he had come to love. The change in temperature was one thing htat he had found as a full contast. Though At the moment he made SURE to look at teverything to assess the situation before letting a single word slip out of hsi mouth.  For a ll he knew it could be a doppellganger  And considering hsi lifestyle he'd be sure to check before he leaped from now on.  With that his eyes locked agains tthe ridge of the gathering, twisting across the rim of the foreground to encircle the area and weave his way in closer and closer.  Sppech was reserved until he was sure of the nature of the situation::

Gabrielle: ::Gabrielle just stared down to the hole now seen, straight to the bottom of the lake. Feral growling was made as she continued to cause havoc on her own gardens. Golden wings came to flare as she thrust hand out towards the falls, and ceased it's downward motion to the lake at her feet.:: <w>You've made your last mistake, father.. ::tears began to flood her eyes, as she took the crown from her head, and growled at it.. bringing her hand back to toss it into the hole to the bottom of the water before her.. pausing as she continued to sob it all out. frustration, anger, .. you name it, it was comming into play... ::

Justicar: ::As she paused he'd wait there gliding down as the clarity of exactly who he thought ti was settled in. First thing he appreciated was the tint of her wingtips. Gold.. The one thing that gave him a hint of ease at the moment. Secondly, despite the feral growling, he'd extend his right hand and eased it like a living silk along the ridge fo ehr wrist and rested it there, leaving a support in place for her embrace, letting her wrist and body rest, keeping his palce behind her in a light hover::  <w> I can't say I'm not glad you're free.... Though i would like to knwo what has happened ot leave you in such Righteous anger Gabrielle...

Gabrielle: ::Gabrielle shook her head as he grappled her wrist, turning to him with tear filled eyes.. :: .. J .. ::she tried to give a soft smile, though, in all her anger, it just simply wouldn't surface:: .. It's .. ugh.. ::she tightened her grip on the crown:: .. My father released me .. but .. on terms of anothers words .. ASIDE from my own! Nearly the very same I had offered to him myself! And yet, I'm ignored!! His own DAUGHTER .. and I am ignored!!! ::surely that was one of the strings that pulled on her..:: .. We have so many flirting with the enemy here .. ::She shook her head:: and so many who have lost faith in ME .. I feel, as if I am lost, failed almost. Thus .. ::she shook her head:: .. Things WILL change .. ::obviously the root of all this anger was family .. as she continued to dwell on it with that growling:: Curse that man, and .. ::she paused:: they treated me like an OBJECT .......

Justicar: ::He'd shake his head lightly at that before his eyes twinkled a bit at that reflection of existance. For as she smiled or rather attempted to, he'd ease his hand up and ran it lightly across each of the tearfilled eyes to flick off the shards of water with ease. His smirk rose a bit at that inflection of thought before he'd add a gentle nod back in reflection to her consumate clarity before wrapping her up in his embrace to seal her in the midst of his arms And keep taht sofvented seal of hsi embrac around the ridge of her bdoy, wrapping he rint he mdistof hsi arms for a single smooth hug before easing back again and lettin that smile work it's magic:: You've noticed that his key goal has been recuritment for hsi army and the amassment of hsi forces. IN seeing my hope ressurect you and myself.. He most likely resolved that he wouldn't be able to "convince" you that his will was correct.... Especially if me or any soul like me saught to remind you of what lay in your heart and what you stood for.  Thus he's taking root in those whom he can gain.  I don't know why others have lost faith in you.... Though I do know it is hard on you... And when we see you change, it affects us all. Others don't know that the fall for you is not a constant one. For in all others it seems to be a perminant effect. It's as if there is no redemption for the fallen for their sin convicts them. Even if they hold a resolution in their heart for the good of existance.. They are always marke dand reminded of their sin.. You are able to resurface as they are not. Thus your downcast look brings them despair instead of resolve to make the difference and change it.  Those whom care for you and protect you and the values of the light need to know that. As for the flirting with the enemy...  And the Change... The flirting is usually a sign of intelligence gathering. Though losing yourself to the side of the others is a viable possiblity. There are double agents in existance. Though as for the Faith factor... The only loss you have is if you lose focus on what you know in your heart, standfor and represent. Lose that and You will be lost Gabrielle.... They msot likely treated you like an "Object' because you are the representative hope of the angelic race... To crush you is to cursh the angelic spirit.. To even have that stolen or crushed and twisted to hsi will will turn the tide for us all.. It is a cornerstone to them.. You are a living symbol of hope for a multitude... IN that, they see you as an object... Yet they neglect your humanity. It is wrong in a way. Yet in value and meaning that is what was probably upheld.. ::With that he'd shake hsi head a bit before his eyes of amond look ed a touch downcast, uncertantin rapt through his mind at the clarity fo his explaintion, but after biting his lip a moment in thought, he'd
return hsi gaze;: Please don't take offense if that was it's representation. Yet I pray that he didn't gain whom I thought.

Gabrielle: ::Gabrielle nodded softly, she recalled why she took J in as a 'family' member to her.. he was just so darn wise, and caring!! gabrielle needed that. And yet, even in all his wise words, gabrielle still had some disagreements.. she supposed they'd have to simply agree, to disagree.. after all, one couldn't agree on everything, now could they? .. gabrielle responded softly in reply to a good portion of his commentary:: .. Very true, though, I have reason to believe that all of those actions were far more than what they appear to be. Atop all this, no one will even give me the *chance* to explain *anything* .. leaving me to my own spiraling demise of losing myself, within, myself. ::She shook her head softly:: Far too much is at stake here.. and I fear the worst. My father *now* says if we meet, one of us will surely die. I've learned far more in my time in the palace about the tear as of late, than anytime else. I am confident in my winning.. though.. ::she sighed:: it's not what I want. I'd rather just, peace.. but my conversations won't do it.. ::she growled again in thought:: personally, i'm tired of being treated as if I am a frail object of hope or destruction. And I'm beginning to believe that if I give them, just what they are looking for.. that maybe, I will regain my subjects. And yet.. it comes with a price, of losing who I am.. I don't want that. It's just.. my voice used to speak to so many.. and now, it speaks to so few. . . so few wish to even acknowledge it's there anymore.. and I grow weary, and tired of it. . . Perhaps.. perhaps it's time for a drastic change.. ?

Justicar: I have no clue of what the actiosn were in light of knowign little of what ws said. I only grasped the point where she attempted to regain your freedom by bartering an amount of time between realms.  Much like persephone with Lord Haydes... Though i don't know what is going on that, it's leading to the lack of explaination.  ::With that shake of her head he'd arch a brow back at that new change of fate with a blink:: Now he'll Kill you? So he went form wanting extreme protection to being set upon killing you. From not hurting you ever to ensuring that one of you would die when next you meet... And yet you say now that  You have learned more about the tear? How so? ::Talk about a blurr of thigns he was still going and trying to respond to each bit;: The thing about winning is that you need to overcome his concept. Neither of you will change it seems Though the drastic change you're thinking of Give who what they are looking for? Regain what subjects?  ::Yes, he was derfinitely at a loss there as his right brow arched in reserve athte contemplative shift of existance and fate that ahd befallen her thought process as his eyes snapped to distinct clarity::

Gabrielle: ::She nodded softly:: Aye. He made his point quite clear in my leave... ::she paused a moment, to hear the rest of his conversation:: .. Aye, that I have. I have learned so much more about energy, and it's harnessing abilities. I have learned a great deal more about it's focal abilities, as well as it's abilities under pressure and emotion. Slowly, I am harnessing more and more.. I fear as to what it's true abilities might be. ::gabrielle canted her head as he questioned 'subjects':: .. Why, my people of course, those that still choose to have faith in me.. so few now..

Justicar: ::With the way concepts were flying he'd blink a bit at the full comprehension that was newly adorned. Though as she added that cant of her cranium before adding a nod at the clarity of comprehnsion made;: What is the one thing that you ahve found and believe that they want gabrielle? You say you're tired of being treated as a frail object of hope or festruction... It will take a bit of time.. Though Why woudl you lose who you are to regain them? What process are you thinking, What path are you thinking to take? What is running through your mind? ;:The concern was obvious in his voice as it bleached through every acrid word that poured form his lips Fo rhsi eyes swelled to silver dollars at the various prospects that could be born of such a statement::

Gabrielle: ::gabrielle shook her head as she just slowed his words down in her mind to take it all in a bit more clearly, rather than the rush of questions it seemed to be:: .. J .. ::she leaned inwards to his ear to whisper softly, then retract with a nod. Grinning softly as she then would reply to that comment:: I fear that if I use them, I will lose myself.. so much.. power.. all at once. If I take it on, who's to say I won't lose myself all together? .. My father wants justice, and to end this war.. I want the same.. but he will not see it any other than, than through bloodshed. I see it through peace.. ::She shook her head:: there is simply no changing that at least not through my voice. . . I believe, at this point, perhaps I need to be as strict as I once was.. perhaps then, they will see me more as a strong leader, than a good friend, and loving person to watch over, and care for them..

Justicar: :: With that he'd ease hsi eyes back across her new retraction blinking back at the new exchange. A slight flicker of his eyes reset at the wording before opening his hues once before he batted his eyes once at the inflection of power to raise hsi right brow and slowly surmise exactly what was being said. For that in and of itself left him thinking through a few things to envision each bit for the time being. His eyes traversed her frame back down to the arcane tear that lay before him ashis brows knit into a new set of worry;:  If you feel there is a risk it is something to consider. Many have gone mad with power before... Others find the clarity and purpose for harnessing it and only use it when necessicary and not acccording to their will alone. You never knwo what will become of it. I knwo nothign of the Justice your father seeks.. I know you boht want this war to end. He will not rest until the human population is dead.. You won't rest until their opinion changes and they live in peace.. There may be the poitn fo bloodshed. YEt even you know that every time you destroy a source of evil.. In time, there grows another that lays in wait within their ranks or within the universe to take it's place in the balance of things. I can't assess if you need to be as strict as you once were because I am unsure of knowing that strictness. Though it may help. There is
Angelic Justicar: going ot be the need for understanding why the people do as they will be lead to do. To be given that is the strongest forittude you can give them.

Gabrielle: ::Gabrielle nodded softly as she thought about what he said.. indeed, she didn't want to use it, unless she *had* to.. :: You're right, I don't want to use it, unless it's absolutely necessary. Though, As far as a new evil? If my father and I can make amends, we can fight whatever comes together!, instead of trying to battle it alone. ::She shook her head:: This war has to end.. and curse him for being so stubborn in his ways. And as far as being strict again? It means, any angelic being, that crosses enemy lines, without intent formentionned to me, will be expelled from the palace until I can be sure of their allegance.. ::She nodded, strict? HEAVILY.. but, in all the eons, did she ever have a problem with spies with that rule? Nope.. ::

Justicar: ;:he'd just.. nod a bit at that thought before his lisp curled anew at that clarity. Though he'd blink a bit at that new exchange and tilted his head slightly to the right with a softset smile;: The one thing that I know and hope to reinforce is that with that power comes great responsibility to use is well and for the embetter ment of existance and not their detriment. That's all I ask. i congradulate you on it. Though as much as anyone I know how tempting such power can become.  If your father can make amends.. Thing swill work. Though I hope that at some point we could meet eye to eye. Though I sinccerely doubt that will happen any time soon. Nonetheless  The war does have to end. There has to be a way to meet the medium of all and resume  a more propserous lifestyle with purpose, place, and pride.

Gabrielle: Agreed. ::She nodded softly:: .. And I believe the angel you fear may be straying, is correct. ::She shook her head, sighing:: I know not what to do anymore. . But, I believe, earnestly, if I go about this with a firm hand.. things will turn out for the better. Don't you? .. And no worries my brother.. ::she smiled softly:: .. I will not let such a power corrupt me... not now, not ever.

Justicar: ;:With that he had to curl hsi lips a touch and arched htat right brow as his eyes twinkled in a hint of mischevity. Now that he couldn't help. As soon as that twinkle was set his laughter trickled of fthe rim of his lips:: I do believe your'e correct and I take your assurance in the corruption well.. Though can you say the same for Minai? I do worry over her too you know... It will take both of you as one to keep the emotions that may lay in such power maintained...

Gabrielle: ::She nodded softly:: I believe I can. Minai and I have had much to speak of in my center transition. Especially after seeing and hearing what went on at my fathers lair. ::She shook her head:: Minai is no more pleased than I .. I do believe we have, and can form an alliance to fight what need be fought together.

Justicar: ;:Now that did leave hsi right brow peaked in itnerest. for as soon as the acquisition of knowledge was proposed he'd blink and leave the clear look of uninformed dumbfoundedness pour across his features:: What did you learn or acertain there?  I'm glad to know Minai is there as well.. It gives me comfort. I have learned little from her since my transition as well and will surely need to work into practice.

Gabrielle: ::she nodded more confidently:: .. Minai's more for destruction and chaos, though even she saw such treatment that was being sustained in my presence there. Unappreciated by the pure pain that was being felt through me, to her.. it was something she hadn't felt before. Something that caused her to think twice, and ask questions. Though, Minai will aid me in all I ask, if given the chance at free will to escape me, she would do so in a heartbeat. As long as the cause is pure, and I keep my agreement in allowing her feel of pleasure in certain destruction in war, she will maintain the alliance, and peace we have between eachother.

Justicar: ;;Now that did strike something in him. Somethignt o note and keep track of when the tiem comes for the proper comprehension and undertanding::  That gives me comfort. I have to admit that I hold similar traits. Though I'm surprised that she hadn't felt pain before... The pure pain... Though that makes sense ont he questions asked.  I understand the reasoning though.  It's better to live at and in peace than to have turmoil in body and soul.  Though I have to admit I hope to speak to minai myself so that we form an alliance as well.. The only Time I have kown her is in battle and in the gift she gave me of the dark arts...  I have cultivated them to the best of my ability at the moment.. Though I know also that I will need to work with her to form a.. resonance of sorts between her and I.. I would like to ensure that I work well with her in battle jointly.

Gabrielle: ::Gabrielle nodded softly, keeping a sort of smile upon her face. I'm sure, if I had the energy to do so, I would allow minai to speak with you, perhaps, in the morn. When all is fresh and new, and my powers have completely replenished. ::gabrielle smiled:: .. I'm more than certain, she would probably join with you in alliance. Knowing your neutral state, she'd probably appreciate a more mellowed sense direction, instead of the 'goody goody' .. ::she chuckled to herself::

Justicar: ;:now that he did have to hold a softened chuckle to. For as her smile grew he'd feel the comfort of it's joy. Yet hsi eyes glazed across her frame a moment to assess any damage to her own physical form, before reutrning to her own once again. The concern was obvious in his eyes Especially along the wingtips, But as he reset his vision to affix with her own his smile resumed it's softened demeanor:: Then for now let's ensure you get that rest... And vent a bit What do you think would be bethe best place to truly let loose outside of the garden... I was looking forward to a nice dip in the waterfalls.. but.. I think that'll have to wait for a bit.

Gabrielle: ::she chuckled a bit, placing a hand behind her head.. as she lowered it a moment:: .. Yes, my apologies.. but, you're more than welcome to come to the palace, and take a swim in the pool, if you like. You're also more than welcome to take rest there.. if you feel the need to.

Justicar: That woud be much obliged. Much obliged :: That softened chuckle was all he had to see to look back over across the devistated landscape fo the water falls, before he'd stretch his fingertips into a subtle curl,  to leave the ridge of hsi wingtips snapping itnoa  breakneck drive, driving the twin pilons headlong into the air, snapping them up across the skyline to ascend towards the clouds of night:: Race ya there!

Gabrielle: ::blinking as gabrielle had little energy to get herself all the way to the palace, in a chuckling, she wrapped her wings around herself, and in a swirl of feathers, she was gone from the gardens.. leaving only feathers, and sparkles to fade out of exsistance.. cheating? probably, but gabrielle was all too exhausted to take flight, instead, she opened the door, and awaited J's comming with a smile.. ::
