Kalista leaned against the trunk of the old Oak, her dragon-like wings folded forward, over her shoulders, as if she wore them as a cloak, her liquid silvery eyes seemed to watch all around her in these first few sleepy moments of awakening.
It had been a very long time since she had shown herself, allowing Kiara the time to complete what it was she needed to with her father and Max but now, it seemed, she wanted to walk again amongst the new planet, she had at one time, near destroyed.
Now, she listened to the sounds of the birds, the arguing of the Centaurs and the many, many, other noises of the forest, with some sort of hazy, sleepy-eyed dream-like expression on her angelic features. She seemed to be waiting for something, or someone, one could just tell, if they looked at her close enough.
"Excuse me." Ginny's voice came from beside a tree. She didn't bother to really look at Kalista, but rather over her, as though tierd of this.
"The forest is closed."
"Is't it always?"
"Be quiet Lavy."
Lavy was silent.
Kalista recognized the voice of Ginny Weasely, and the corners of her lips turned up slightly at the sound. She had always liked the fiery little girl of the Weasely family, though she never outwardly showed it, bu then again, Kalista never really ever showed her true feelings for others, it just wasn't who, or rather what she was.
"I think, Ginny, that I will remain standing here still, as truly, the forest would never be closed to an angel, even if she is fallen." Kalista returned, not bothering to look at the girl, her liquid seeming gaze however fell on the new one, she did not know.
"And you would be?" She inquired, not all together liking the way she spoke to Ginny.
"Lavy Brown." Lavy said leaning up againt a tree and crossing her arms. "And you are. Who?"
Ginny caught her breath, reconizing the girl for the first time.
"Ka-Kalista?!"
(read kalistas char bio. it will explain me acting this way)
Goblet was walking around the forest. He was flipping a galleon in his hand as if it had a mind of its own. He saw Ginny, Lavy, and one woman he had never met before, but had seen, many many times. Kalista. Goblet's other self was alert. He walked over to Kalista. Goblet's eyes turned a deep white as his other self took over. "You will never get into the Gates of Heaven and you are despicable for trying."
(I already know it. this charactor was introduced long ago.)
Ginny ignored Goblets arrivel and stared, transfixed at Kalista.
"Are you really here? This isn't a trick?"
(I won't say anything. How long ago was this person introduced?)
Kalista looked Lavy over for a moment, her now more docile seeming onyx eyes seemingly taking in more than the girl in front of her, the corners of her lips turning slightly up into what would be a semblance of a smile.
"Why... I am as Ginny has noticed, Kalista, Kalista Karador...the pleasure I am certain, is all yours." She introduced herself and then turned to Ginny. "Yes Ginny Weasely, I am here, this is no joke, I have returned for the same reason as always, I am curious..." SHE left it hanging, there was always an underlying reason she was here, though no one would get the information from her, they never did until such time she decided they needed to know, usually when what ever it was, had already begun and they were smack in the middle of battle of some kind.
As soon as the new arrival appeared Kalista's grin widened and her onyx eyes once again became that liquid silvery color of before and her attention turned to him, her slivery orbs catching his white glare.
"Well, I suppose it hath been far too long since I hath seen one of your kind." She said, her tone absolutely dripping in sarcasm. "And what, dare say, wouldst I want with passage through thine rusted and pathetic gates?" She asked, as she raised one fine brow at the heaven's gate keeper, her leathery, dragon-like wings shifting slightly and opening to reside at a definite defensive stance, her lip turned up into what seemed to be a very sarcastic smile at the being before her.
(Kalista has been around for quite some time, she has a very long history here on teh boards, I have just finally decided to give her a life of her own, I think she deserves one.)
Ginny smiled slightly. She knew Kalista didn't just 'visit' for no reason. But she didn't say anything. She just leaned against a tree, watching.
(shakespear has possessed you! the pwoer of Christ compels you!)
Goblet was flipping the galleon faster now. (lets see how I can back this up...) "You tell me. The Pearly Gates is the most protective of them all, and it's kingdom is the most powerful."
Kalista's grin grew ever more at his words, obviously finding this character amusing, at the most. She was not one to play these petty games of Heaven and Hell, as both places held not but harsh memories for her, as it was indeed his God, that traded her soul, for the life of his minions, as Kalista had, in the beginning, been the General in 'his God's' army, before her fall, a fall that, as few knew, was of no fault of her own, she was not but a puppet in the 'political' games of good and evil and now remained existing to do no one's bidding but her very own, she had told the truth when she had said she needed not his gates to Heaven, she had her fill of that place far before he had taken up residence in front of them.
"You seem to not understand me, boy." Kalista started, her wings still at that defensive posture, not an aggressive, but indeed quite defensive. "Furthermore, you are wrong, as in my existence, I have found that the most powerful Kingdome, as you have so boorishly put it, is in the souls of the creatures that dwell on this planet, be them evil, or good, they are the ones to recon with, not your Kingdome of traitorous Gods." She replied, a note of jaded laughter weighing heavily in her tone.
Ginny's smile turned into a smirk. She didn't know much about Kalista, but she knew who would win if Kalista were to fight Goblet.
(man, you have been reading shakespeare.)
"Our Kingdom has only one God. And he, if this was what you were presuming, isn't traitorous." Goblet started to flip two coins now, and his eyes glowed ever whiter.
"Could you kindly stop that?" Lavy asked him.
Kalista laughed at his comment, a laugh that was neither joyous nor was it even light of tone. "Yes, yes, lost little lamb, of course, I once thought the very same young Angel." She began and then shook her head on a manner that suggested she was disappointed in him. "You will come to understand one day, though I fear that it will be too late to save your soul by then." She finished, then all but dismissed him, done with his little tirade and longing to show of his pathetic power, that time had come and gone, he had done nothing to convince her he was anything more than a pest. She then turned her gaze back to Ginny, her onyx eyes skimming over Lavy but for a moment, uninterested in this small human, for the moment, which was either good, or bad, one could never quite tell, when it came to Kalista.
"So, how do the forest animals fair these days Ginny Weasely?" She asked, her tone much more light than it had been earlier, much more, conversational, nothing of the bored tone she had began to draw in her nowhere conversation with the keeper of the Gates.
Kalista still held her wings at her back in a manner that suggested that though she may have dismissed him, she had not forgotten he was still there, and, was ready, if the eager young angel decided to foolishly, test his ability.
Ginny smiled at Kalista, not looking at the other two.
"Most fair fine, but sadly, some have left us. It's hard to run this place when the students, "She emphasised the last word, carefully, "don't pay attention to the rules I place."
(are we still in school?)
*ron appeared in the forest,having felt a rather strong presence*hey,whats going..*he saw kalista*er-hi.
(Yeha, think so)
"Kalista is here, Ron." Ginny said, throwing him a 'better be nice' look.
yeah,I can see that...*he threw her a "I'm not as stupid as I look"look.*
Kalista turned her head and tilted it slightly at Ron's appearance, now there was a guy she could appreciate, like his sister, Kalista liked this boy. "Hello Ron, isn't it?" She greeted and questioned all the same.
"What creatures have left Ginny?" Kalista asked then, a note of concern in her usually even tone.
"A few of the werewolves were killed off, some birds can't find it peacfull enough, and you just wouldn't beleive the complaints I get from them." She smiled again, and shook her head slightly.
"Yes, I was listening to them when you arrived, they were talking about their nests and their young, telling me how they used to not mind so much, when it was just a few, you know, more food and easier to find and the like, but now, how they think it far to noisy and the like." Kalista replied to Ginny and then sighed and turned her onyx gaze to Ron again, something in her eyes not really discernable and inclined her head.
"It has been far to long, Ron Weasely, far to long..." She said, the corners of her lips turning up in a semblance of what would be a genuine smile, her wings folding properly behind her back now, resting at a peaceful state.
(I think that we should play this as in the seventh year school)
*ron nodded,smiling,a geniune smile.*Yeah,Its good to see you.(Seventh...okay,so this is ginnys sixth...and jon's non-existence of a 3rd...or something like that.)
(Yup my sixth. Man, I have so many siblings on here, I can't even keep track of them!)
Ginny smiled. Even though Kalista's apperance ment something was going on, she didn't care, as of now. She found it nice to talk to someone of intelligence. She hadn't talked to Lavender, kiara, or Ron(till now) as of late, so Kalista was closest thing to it.
"Hmph. You know nothing." Goblet's eyes turned into its original green. He clutched his head and went to sit down on a nearby stump. "I hate it when he takes over." Goblet looked at Kalista. "Who are you?"
Kalista grinned inwardly to herself, and then looked down at Goblet as he looked up and asked who she might be, a bit rudely as well.
"Kalista." She replied shortly, not caring to be interrupted as she conversed with Ron. And that was when she simply turned back and smiled gain.
"Indeed, yes, yes, very good to see you again Ron... and Ginny." SHE said her voice conversational yet distracted by some unknown force, or voice she seemed to be in tune to just now.
Ginny smiled and cjewed on the inside of her cheek, wondering what Kalista was listening to.
