Name:Mana: Before The Rise Author:Asalin
Gaze woke up in a fancy room, the first things she thought about was the children, she was trying to protect. She held up her hands and clasped them together. Thankfully she was able to summon up images of them.

It seems they are in Fort Hamon, She must have teleported them. She was angry and upset at that time when she used her power. She sat up alone in the room and looked around.

The familiar walls felt alive, Gaze couldn't help but stand up to touch the beautifully decorated wall. As if connected with the place itself, flashes into her mind. Her heart went to ease, this was the royal palace of Embrace.

The Royal temple created by the Goddess herself, it was then she learned that the all the temples of the Red Race are alive and have consciousness. Its strange that she didn't feel this in Hamon's temple but she feels it strongly here.

She realized she is safe her, that is the comfort giving to her by this temple.

"You awake" said the silver, young man observing her. He frowned because she is touching the wall, Gaze turned to him on guard but not worried, the living castle has defensives. If she is endangered it will protect her.

"Why have you taken me here, instead of the dungeons. I am sure that I have....Put a few Silvers to rest. Is that not grounds for a red blood to be killed on the stops."

The young man frowns, "I'm Prince Raymphon Krispetor. Although this may seen new to you, but I am your cousin."

Gaze frowned.

"Cousin your real name is Ventora Heitumal, of the Heitumal family that where assassinated eighteen years ago. You where taken in by the 'Stout'" He said it in a disgusted tone and unjustly raised as a red Blood.

'Stout, Lucas family. Why would he say such a thing' Gaze frowned even more. "I don't believe you."

Raymphone, shorting it to Ray. Walked up to her a took a small blade he poked her hand. Gaze watched in horror that what came out was silver blood and not red. Then she remembers that she had chanted what seemed to have been a spell and calmed down a little.

"I…I can see that, but what makes you think I am this Ventora Heitumal."

"The Red blood who claimed to be your adoptive father held onto a locket that has is a symbol of the Heitumal family."

Gaze frowned even more, even if it is temporary to protect herself it still, is unsettling to see something like this. Her blood changing color.

"My adoptive father, he wasn't killed was he."

"No he was given a lot of coins and sent away."

"..." Gaze went quiet.

"Cousin, I'll leave the servants to attend to you they will bring you to the throne room to met Father." Ray said as he left, Gaze could see the suspicious glint in his eyes the moment he left. Female servants walked in with clothing ready to dress her and attend to her.

They where all Silver bloods, they had c.o.c.ky attitudes on them.

"Is that what they wish for me to wear."

"Yes" Said one of them and Gaze walked over touched the piece of cloth light. The Servants trembled in shock as they watched the beautiful fabric disappear. Gaze's clothes glowed into light particles and changed into the beautiful cloth that they handed to her. Hairstyles and make-up already done. "You don't need to be to touch me, I can dress myself." Gaze said solemnly, "Please lead me to wear we I must go next." She said.

The palace was excellent, she was supposed to be led to the throne room, but she wasn't. The temple had already told her the layout. It was a small room where a beautiful woman in elegant attire where in.

Silvers where all poisonous, Gaze thought as she looked at this woman, with light green hair.

Silver's hair and eye colors where always in the light spectrum, they would very from reds, blues, greens and all colors but the tones would be light.

Gaze was made to sit down opposite of as the maids left. The women said nothing as she peered into Gaze's eyes. It took her awhile to understand what she trying to do. Mental abilities, although Gaze couldn't feel anything, she knows something is happening.

Suddenly the women scream in horror, making her jump from her seat as in terror.

'What on earth happened?' Gaze was confused as the women pass out onto the ground and a large ground of people entered. A youth rushed into help the women on the ground, he pulled her out quickly.

An older gentlemen and Ray where in the room now.

"You sit down and explain what happened!" The older man yelled, Gaze was confused and still is but she slowly sat down. She really wasn't sure what else to do. The old man was somewhat surprised as he started at her in shock.

"umm, I'm not sure what happened sir." Gaze fidgeted, "All she did was stare at me right. I think she tried to get inside my head or something" She stopped talking when she saw that the old man was really, was just starting. "Is something wrong?"
