Chapter 271 - The Red Empire, Azria (7)

This talented person of the Silver, he did have compassion but also had greed. Right now he is nothing more than a puppet and he is willingly accepting that in order to take back the crown and get revenge on his brother.

"I'll be blunt in this case. Why, have you come to me to form an alliance. I can already guess it is your idea alone, Judging by your companion's attitudes." Gaze gave a look at Ray Companions and one of them was giving a snark expression to Nimue looking down on her. While the other is giving Gaze a nasty expression.

Nicht, himself carries a blank expression as he watches everything.

"….." Ray was quiet for a moment, Gaze saw his expression and felt even worse it was as if she knew what he was thinking. Red Bloods are Kind and carry loyalty and they will be easy to use, since he had a decent relationship with the Queen, she may help him coupled with the fact that she saved him.

Being used is a sore spot for, Gaze, it was partly her fault she still feels hurts thinking about it. She doesn't want to be used like this again. She isn't risking anymore Red Lives if necessary. Even if Chasan might be the one place with answers to awaken the capital.

"Is there anything, that can be done to change your mind?" Ray asked honestly, with a tired expression. Before Gaze could response, Nimue snapped and used her powers over Ice and nearly killed the C.o.c.ky Silver who was baiting her to attack.

He waved his hand to use his power, but, went pale, when he realized he couldn't use them. Nimue, was never planning to kill him, but just wanted to teach him a lesson. She smiled as she became more aggressive gaining confidence because Gaze had said nothing and merely observed.

The Other Silver got up and waved his hand to use his powers when he also realized it didn't work. Gaze gave a depressed expression, while Nimue was gaining more Confidence. Ray and Nicht gave confused expression as they watched the ongoing. The two silvers where sitting pale and Fearfull. Nimue's vicious attacks on them left them nearly chilled to the bone.

"Ray, our territory care a natural nulling field. Denying the use of abilities of any Race of I deny so. Your People arrived in Hamon not noticing this, they thought it was because of Fear. But, no its because if your people tried anything they wouldn't be able to do anything." Gaze saw Vivian, another Red whispered into her ear reporting something.

Ray went pale as he processes what he she said.

"It looks like you Silver's couldn't help themselves." Gaze sighed and then looked at Nimue having fun taunting the two Silvers. Before her eyes travel to Ray with a sad expression. "Ray, our people lived in oppression for over 800 years. Their lives where constantly in danger, I will not put them in your Civil War because your People are getting tired of fighting and that you don't want to sacrifice anyone else."

"…." Ray blushed somewhat Silver.

"My people are not for you to use and sacrifice anymore, However, on account of our former acquaintance. I'll tell you this, if you are able to successfully capture Embrace even if just for a day. I'll help you."

Ray frowned.

"The Castle in Embrace, there is something I must address there. I do not plan to do anything other then that. You have my word on this Ray." Gaze picked up her cup of coffee that smelled of Caramel and cool down her nerves. She looked towards Vivian who came with Red Guards to escort Ray and his companions back. Nimue didn't push any further as she smiled while the Silver's left.

"Are you really going to help them" Nimue asked.

"Yes and No, I'll stop their civil war but not the Gold Race who are probably going to make things even more difficult for them. However, it's possible that they won't do a thing if…. Well, either way." Gaze looked at the black sandstorm in the distance. "That has to be solved"

"Your Majesty, another has been thrown our way." Vivian said with a struggling voice. While, Ray wanted to try to gain a peaceful foot with the Reds, Davlan took the opposite route. He didn't want to maintain that peace but was aggressive in his messages towards her.

Any Red blood caught within his country was Executed publicly and their bodies through on the border of Hamon. This unfortunately started a seven months ago. He didn't do this at first, he actually wrote many letters of apology and asking her to come back to him. She isn't sure why he was suddenly changed like this. But as she ignored him, he resulted to this and now. His message are. "If you don't come back, I'll kill more and as many I find."

It hadn't even been that long, and yet people change. Gaze could have willing gone to stop the bloodshed. But, she didn't because she knew that if she where capture she would be putting The Red Empire even more at Risk.

She laughed inwardly, Ray could have used that he would help free any red blood captured by his brother to convince her, but, he didn't. She saw in his Gaze that he didn't even consider free anyone from the Red Race captured by his brother.

Ray took what she had said to heart because after three months he made movements. Gaze felt the change in Chasan, the temples are somewhat connected, and so Vequaniel's Temple would project that to her.

Gaze stood up and pulled a cloak over her, as she walk to the teleportation room in Vequaniel, it didn't take long before she was in Chasan walls.

"Send an informant to-" Ray was about to say to his subordinate.

"No, Need I Am already here" Gaze said, she stood in the familiar throne room where the silver King Perished by the hands of his own son. She saw that Davlan, his mother and the other acquaintances where bound and unable to move or speak.

"…." Ray looked shocked but didn't say anything as Gaze approached the throne room. She held her hands out to get a feel, she knows its core is here. She moved to the left until she found and opening. To the other is looked like she was looking for something in the air.

Crack!

The Silvers froze as they went on Guard, the Red Soldiers who came with Gaze stood close but not toed. Far, she didn't take Vivian with her this time but Jonathan. The Capital is under control, although temporary.

Ray watched as the throne room became distorted, the silence that followed.

Gaze, know from the scrolls and other temples, that Chasan was the only temple that's consciousness didn't come from a gem. But, from a coffin which once housed her body. Chasan had the power to distort reality and cause changes, to avert others. When it was taken over by Silver it changed its own layout to hide its secrets.

A staircase was reveled in place of the throne room chairs; the room began to change to its original appearance. Chasan was an outdoor temple not a palace.

She could see the painted glass above, Gaze turned back to Jonathan for a moment before walking up.

"He-" Ray began to say but was stopped by Jonathan who kept them there.

The Room was small circular even, Gaze saw the coffin that was made from stone. And them up towards the painted windows in the ceiling. She closed her eyes, to get another feel and didn't open them for a long time.

Bang! It was a light sound that drew Gaze's attention and made her look to the side. It was bright as and familiar yet unfamiliar place came to view.

What made that sound was a bamboo fountain over a Koi pond. She shifted and as she wanted to move to get a closer look.

"Ise?"
