Keizer Shosolas

Keizer could feel his mind drift far and away from the rest of the groups worried conversation.
His mind and body had both been strained even before he arrived to the island in the first place and he could honestly tell that this is the first he's slept in days. Not that the luxury of sleep managed to escape him all that time, its just that sleeping brought dreams he could rather do without. But of all things that where to be found in his mind there was something more devastating to him then the prospect of nightmares.
He did his best to keep his mind clear as he could feel the haze of thought lift from him and he was now within his own inner world. A plane that existed within his mind as a safe haven for the matter of protecting himself from some form of mental shock. It was here that he would usually reserve himself too when he meditated on the workings of reality and the occurrences of the day.

But here was the place he kept secrets locked and stored in the hopes of never looking upon them again.
This section of his mind was a cold stone world which was a signifier of his outer calm in the face of contradiction. It was a platform atop a massive obelisk with small clouds of thought that moved outside the rail of the platform itself. But on one side of this obelisk there was a door, large in scope and with no back or hinges. It rested on the very edge of the platform and gave a foreboding presents as if its very being got under your very skin. Its large brass frame is stylized to show intense craftsmanship went into its making and no handles are to be seen on either side.

Keizer sat himself in the center of the stone floor as the outside edges of the circled platform seemed to press in on him. His attention was solely fixed on the door before him and he could not tear away from it.
Knowing full well what sat behind this door as he was the one who put it there in a desperate bid to shut a part of himself away long ago. Though the thing behind it was a sure promise of power for him, it was a power he did not want nor was it a power he could easily use. So he sits and waits for his body to rest and hopefully he will be back with the others soon.

(To her advantage) Cain thought to himself.
He couldn't really understand if such an aspect was possible for her, seeing as she has only been able to mimic the power that they use. Keizer's abilities are those of a holy man and when she copied his aqua mirror her power failed to emanate the same resonance that ability normally cast off. Cain smirks a bit as he pops the top back on the bottle of brandy and slides it down the counter towards the corner. ~Well I believe we could capture her if we can get her to show up again and it will only need a small portion of preparation and minimal collateral damage to the island. However I will need someone to act as bait for this to work.~ He says with a large grin beginning to form on his face and ringing his fingers in a slow turgid motion.
