Making his way over to her, his suspicions were confirmed 'ah...so it is.' getting closer, he spoke to her [i]"excuse me...Ranathia was it? I see that I'm not the only one getting a little tired of the festivities. Although I can't help but notice this...hostile atmosphere in the air. Would you by any chance know anything about it?"[/i] Ranathia turned toward Mithos a bit confused why he was following her. She wanted to flip out and yell on the top of her lungs why won't boys leave her alone, but with the current situation as it was and her yelling could spark a confrontation she decided to face him and give a long sigh toward him before answering. [i]"Yes, my name is, Ranathia. I never expected to see you again."[/i] She stressed "you" a bit strongly when she spoke toward him in a rather formal tone. Nodding at Mithos she decided she would disclose as much information as she could about what was going on in the area. [i]"Keep your voice down, but a group of terrorists are trying to assassinate all the world leaders during Meira's coronation. They also abducted her under orders of Padraig who looks to become the new ruler. From what I know from my subordinates is that Padraig was planning on selling Meira to them who they were plan on using as a bargaining chip to seize power and use her name to form a new nation. The terrorist group have planted bombs in this room."[/i] Ranathia paused as she looked around the room to see several people still enjoying themselves as if nothing ever happened. [i]"It is essential that we keep a low profile and do not alert the guests of what is going on. If the terrorists know that we know they will take hostages and the situation will get much more dangerous."[/i] Miia heard a chuckle behind her which caught her attention then she approached the figure with a very suspicious fiery look in her eyes instead of going ahead. [i]"You! Were you a part of this horrible plot to kill innocent people!? ANSWER ME!!!"[/i] Miia said in anger trying to keep her voice toned down enough not to arouse suspicion or cause an uproar amongst the people who were enjoying themselves during the festivities. A man wearing all black and face was mostly covered cornered Padraig with a gun holding it to his chest. [i]"Mister Padraig, your services are no longer needed. Say hello to your father for me in hell."[/i] He grinned as he fired a shot into Padraig's chest fatally wounding him as he fell to the ground in a pool of blood. A group of people came out of hiding with weapons drawn and pointed them at the people in the crowd. Miia and the others were forced to stop what they were doing and give into the demands of the scoundrels for now. People started screaming, but the other terrorists immediately got them to keep quiet threatening to kill them if they didn't shut up. [i]"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen I finally have your attention. If you wish to not get hurt do not resist and do exactly as we say."[/i] The man said as he pointed toward his men to group up the people separately to keep an eye on them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Meira heard the bones snapping from the guard who just barred their path knowing that he certainly was not human any longer. There is no way they could still be walking with such injuries. [i]"We have no choice, but to fight them."[/i] She said toward Nathan waiting to see what he was about to do. Before she could react she noticed Nathan made a hole and managed to get away the guy. She was tired of Nathan carrying where she asked, [i]"Could you please put me down?"[/i] Meira requested as she continued to stay in his arms not wanting to struggle so that guy could catch up to them.
