Jacklyn Gaia Monroe smiled back and with a wave practically disapeared down the hall before he could say anything else.

Jacklyn Gaia Monroe jumped so high when the guy came in that she toppled off the bed and landed on the floor. "What the heck!"

Jacklyn Gaia Monroe tapped her foot and since it had been quiet for awhile she noticed the noise outside her room. "What is this, grand central station? Well since you're all out there you might as well come on in and we can have a party." She was being a little sarcastic and crossed her arms wondering why everyone had come to bother her. People had told her that recently her dark aura had gotten stronger and the first man had mentioned that but she didn't notice it, but maybe that was why everyone had shown up.

Jacklyn Gaia Monroe smiled when she saw Anjali and kneeled down in front of her. "Hello," she said with a little salute and a wink then placed her hand on her chest and said, "Jacky." Then she pointed to Anjali raising her brows in a question and said, "you are?"

Jacklyn Gaia Monroe sighed not sure how to explain it, she didn't even understand it herself. "It won't hurt you," she paused not really so sure, but it hadn't hurt anyone so far only her other... she stopped that thought in it's tracks not wanting to think about it. "I can't explain it Anjali." She felt so helpless, not knowing what to say when she sensed Darien approuchibg. She didn't knoe why she could always find him and she was glad cause she knew he could help in this situation, though she was sure he wouldn't be happy about so many people, especially someone who snuck in, being in front of her room.

Jacklyn Gaia Monroe Just noticed that Anjali didn't appear to be wearing anything and there were three, soon to be four men standing right there. She jumped up and ran over to the bed grabbing the comforter and running back to throw it around the girl just as Darien appeared around the corner looking none too happy at the crowd around the door. She motioned them all in and waited for him to get to her door so she could explain.

Jacklyn Gaia Monroe watched him go not sure what to say or do now that he was gone. "Anjali can stay here since she is already asleep and I will be going with all of you tomorrow. I can't really say right now but for certain reasons I am not really supposed to be here right now and if someone other than Darien, Salthmar, or the queen found us all in here it would definately cause a ruckus, so if you would all leave?"

Jacklyn Gaia Monroe Finally everyone was gone but even after they all left she had trouble sleeping. Anjali was sleeping so soundly Jacky was a little jealous. Jacky closed her eyes and tried to vlear her mind but she was so excited about the next day. Finally she drifted off and slept soundly til the sound of birds chirping in her window woke her.

Jacklyn Gaia Monroe Slides out of bed stretching with a yawn. She quickly put on what she usually wears to work out, trousers with tall black boots and a loose white shirt that moved well along with a cape. She was as quiet as she could be cause Anjali looked so peacefull.

Jacklyn Gaia Monroe picked up the sword belt and sword that Darien had given her but then that made her remember the magic sword. She couldn't help thinking that she shouldn't leave it. She felt connected to it somehow. She slid her knife into the sheath on her leg and put on her sword belt and tried to creep out of the room.

Jacklyn Gaia Monroe glimpsed a servant coming around the corner and jumped into the first room she could find. It looked like it was empty so she sighed with releif and put her ear to the door to listen until the steps receded away. She poked her head out and hurried on down the hall. She needed to reach one of the secret passages. She had found quit a few of them while she stayed here and knew them well. She would tell the Queen about them but she probably knew already anyway. She hurried along and finally reached the picture she was looking for. She pushed it aside and slipped into the passage hidden behind then let the picture slide back behind her.

Jacklyn Gaia Monroe gave a small command and light blossomed in the form of a small floating ball. It was a simple spell and the first and only one she could control with any reliability. Darien had taught it to her a while back and she had put it to good use in these passages. They were almost always completely dark and really dirty since no one cleaned them, not knowing they were there. She was not fond of spiders or their webs so used her dagger to get them out of her path. She hadn't used this one in a while so it had a few webs again. Some of the paths she used more often, she had cleaned by herself. She made her way down the passage her boots making a soft scuffing noise in the dust as she walked. It was a little chilly and she was glad for her cloak and the light that also produced a little warmth.

Jacklyn Gaia Monroe emerged from behind a tapestry into a slightly cleaner hallway. She let the tapestry fall back over the entry and continued down the hall, listening for sounds that someone else might be here. Only a few people came down here mainly the magicians who were studying the sword. The Queen thought the sword was cursed, but Jacky didn't think so. She felt so connected to it and felt it belonged with her. She doubted they would discover anything anyway.

Jacklyn Gaia Monroe finally found the door to the room she wanted but didn't want to just pop in in case someone might be in there. She listened at the door for a few minutes and decided to peek in. She winced when the door creaked open but sighed in relief when she saw no one there. The sword was floating in some strange liquid inside a glass container.
