[color=crimson]"I see, that's certainly interesting,"[/color] Victoire said to Henry as she righted her posture once again.  [color=crimson]"It seems that none of you have changed so much ever since Ruthria, right, Avaritia?"[/color] The vampire commented in her usual nonchalant tone, still largely unconcerned with Sliske's fate as he kept on haggling with Ira.

[color=crimson]"Now that I think about it,"[/color] Victoire threw a lascivious look at Henry as she said, [color=crimson]"I owe you a treat, don't I? If you are willing, I can give it right he—"[/color] Victoire's fangs were already bared, flashing their pristine glint, when Gelgath barged in with his circus troupe.

A low hiss forced itself out of the vampire's throat, but not for long as it was soon replace with an amused grin. [color=crimson]"Well now, I believe this shall be an amusing spectacle. Please, excuse me,"[/color] Victoire said as she stepped aside and summoned a luxurious armchair to rest while savoring a cup of her blood rose tea. For all that Victoire cared, Hell could freeze or burn over, it was not her problem, but at least it would be fun to watch.

Ciel's smiled widened as she gazed upon the joyous moment the denizens of the Heavens were sharing, the flight of the harpies was indeed a sight to behold, including one particular individual who Ciel was particularly connected to, [url=http://i.imgur.com/UyfgEfT.png][b]Aquila[/b][/url]... the Celestial Spirit of the Aquila constellation and a High Priestess of the very same tsundere Wind Goddess the Angels faced on Hohenheim's tests. She swept by to greet her Master before going back to the garden. Aquila landed not very far from Syphax, but remained silent given that she didn't knew anyone there.

[color=00ced1]"Such a shame that it seems that not everyone can take part in the celebrations. I guess that I could see if I can do something about that,"[/color] Ciel said to herself as she peered though a what looked like a mirror made out of pure starlight and saw a spectral figure leaving the premises of Celestia, seemingly in a sorrowful manner.

[color=00ced1]"And then, there are those who never make up their minds, no matter how much they think,"[/color] the argent-haired girl chuckled lightly as she drank the remainder of her tea, leaving the silver and sapphire studded glass teapot with yet half of its contents (including a second cup she filled, apparently for no one), as well as the book she was reading, over the table as she got back to her feet. For a moment she glanced at the direction where Miyu was, clearly noticing the wings 'hidden' behind the plants. However, Ciel left without saying a thing, even if she was still smiling amusedly.

Sometime after that, a light knock would be heard on the door of Abigail's cottage. [color=00ced1]"Excuse me, please. I hope I'm not being a bother to come and knock at your door without being invited, but I saw you leaving the festivities with a sad aura around you. If it's not asking too much, would you like to talk?"[/color] Ciel asked in her typical soothing voice, hoping that she wasn't being a bother to the disheartened specter who inhabited this plain home. 

[center][h3][b][color=daa520][u]Diana, the Claw of Heavens[/u][/color][/b][/h3][/center]
[color=daa520]"I hope I'm not late,"[/color] Diana said to herself as she dashed through Celestia's halls in search of the garden Torag mentioned that he would be waiting for her. To say the truth, she wondered why the taciturn undead wished to talk to her as soon as possible, but they were friends (probably?) so Diana didn't care.

Finally, after much searching around (how many gardens Celestia had, after all?), Diana finally found the one she was looking for. To her surprise it was choke-full of people, most of which she was acquainted with, all gathered around Tartys as she performed. Without much difficult, the dragon girl found Torag standing by a font, along with a circle of some of the Heaven's finest and approached them.

[color=daa520]"Hehehe, I'm sorry for being late. I just got back from scouting the a potential skirmish zone at the Ruins of Arcadia. By the way, hi there everyone, I heard that you guys hit quite the jackpot on your last mission,"[/color] Diana looked somewhat apologetic, scratching the back of her head, while letting out a tense laugh. [color=daa520]"Anyway, what did ya want from me, Torag?"[/color]

While commemorations echoed through the Heaven's, and rebellion was stirred on Hell, the realm of mankind was left much to its own devices, which for some might have actually been better.

Among those who wished to be left alone was Ni-Mu who had received a very unexpected and unwanted 'gift' from Hohenheim, sentience, the capacity to do judgement on her own, instead of following the rigid programming that enchained her up to now. Along with the gift of self-awareness, Hohenheim did more to change Ni-Mu's physical make up, at this moment the robot was in fact fighting to get used to these abrupt changes.

Needless to say, Ni-Mu didn't knew how to deal with it.

The android wandered the streets of Hyperion without a fixed destination and, before she could even process it, she found herself on the outskirts of the Machina capital, not very far from a certain old cottage overgrown by plants that wouldn't even be able to live here were it not for the abilities of their caretaker.

[color=dodgerblue]"..."[/color] Ni-Mu didn't say at thing as she knocked on the cottage's door, wondering why she even did so.
