Gold eyes stared out blankly into the entrance of the shrine.
"Alone... "
A humourless chuckle, and Venus looked back at Esmeya.
"I would ask who all of these names are... Fenrill, Kre, even Rafael, but at the moment I'm not sure if I want to know. If... if Rafael really was what was sealed beneath the island, then he has to be sealed again, right?"

She nodded. "If you don't want him running about then yes... and I'll give you a brief explaination."
Esmeya seemed to pause before she started speaking once more. "Fenrill was my friend, your past life. She looked just like you... her life was given up in the sealing spell. Isandre was there. She knows.
As for Rafael, you know him. He was my love... but the spirit of 'the Raven Lord Kre' took him over."

Voice quiet, she looked toward the spirit of Esmeya with a small smile. "I'm sure they would've been proud of you for carrying on, after..."
Venus returned her gaze to the darkened entrance of the shrine.
"... Isandre doesn't know. She can't remember anything about it, at all. It's like... some kind of block. But I've been remembering... bits, in dreams. I can never see any faces, but now I know, I guess."
Resting her head back on the crumbling shrine table, next to the extinguished candle, Venus let out a gust of breath, stirring long settled dust. "So my choices are either let him go on the rampage and do goodness knows what, or lure him back here and seal him with my life. Right?"

Esmeya nodded in a sort of sad, yet wise manner. "Yeah... that's about the only options. But I've had time to brood it over. If Kre weren't in Rafael's body he would be freed and only Kre would be sealed. But I guess it's not an option anyway."

Venus, now staring at the ceiling, mulled over what had been said.
"I don't think it is... if the evil's been in Rafael for as long as he's been sealed, chances are he's now taken total control. It won't be the Rafael you know any more."
She smiled a little for a moment.
"Isn't it ironic that they made us all study sealing spells when we were younger?"
Sobering, she looked up at the spirit again. "What would you do, Esmeya?"

Esmeya sighed. "Truthfully? ...I don't know. I've been living here for centuries, occasionally checking up on my reincarnations. I knew the past events with Rafael would eventually happen again."

"It's a never ending circle then? And for it to stop, it has to be broken. But how...?" She glanced back at the words that had been meticulously carved into the table.
'There must be balance.'
Shrugging off the creeping dread that was crawling its way up her spine, Venus said resolutely: "I'll try and find a way to stop this. But if the worst comes to the worst and Rafael starts to get out of hand, I'll try and seal him."

Emeya sighed. "The circle has to have it's balance until it is snapped... we either solve the problem or it continues. No getting around it."

Venus nodded, smiling weakly.
"Well, I've been around for a while now, seen lots, traveled... if I did have to..." she trailed off. Setting her jaw, she shook her head. "Like I said, if the worst comes to the worst. What happened with your friend, Fenrill was it?"

Esmeya dipped her head and then retold what she could remember of the tale, leaving out a few details here and there. (had to do that since we wouldn't want anyone find out too much, eh?)

{True, true... ^^ I may start typing up part of the RP if you like. Save you doing all of it ^^}
Venus sat back, dazed.
"So, it was seal him or potential disaster, right? And he didn't escape, like Rafael has?"

She nodded. "That's how it happened... seal him or the world would fall to terrible things."

Sitting back again, she smiled wryly, before jumping to her feet.
"Well, there's no use in me angsting out over it. If it has to be done, it has to be done, right? I'll go back and talk to everyone, have a think, and decide what I'm going to try to do. Then if everything goes to pot, I'll seal Rafael beneath the island again." She remained resolute, but for a moment looked towards Esmeya and her hidden fear glittered behind her eyes.
"Is the afterlife nice, Esmeya?"

Esmeya smiled. "It isn't so bad... though I wish I were alive again. The spirit realm isn't a very colourful place though, so I prefer to remain in the caves here as I did during my life."

Venus nodded, then smiled.
"Well Esmeya, I think it'd be best if I finished off my explorations and headed back to where my friends are. I need to... update them on what's going on. And I need to find out where that candle came from..."
She shrugged. "Never ending mystery this is!"
