"Alright, But Alex, has to be placed far away from the river side, because less people see us, the better." He said as he order the rest Sumata to get ready.

"What are we doing this now?" Xïsa asked him.

"Yes, we are." Trucido said "So, Here is the plan: Seigmend, make the wall. Lilith, and Elexa, you two make sure everyone keep their eyes on the Alexs. Night, Grim, and Zelos, Guard the wall. The rest of us, will dig for the Relics. Ok, everyone ready?"

Lilith raised an eyebrow.
"Make them keep their eyes on them? How are we supposed to do that?" she frowned and made her way over to the wall to see how Alexander and Alex were doing. Alex had somehow managed to find his way down quickly enough to attempt to help the Santo-Luce king back up, but as things were relayed to Lilith, they apparently were not to be allowed to come back up right away...?
That was how Lilith made sense of it all, anyway. And if she was to stall them and keep the Earth people distracted with them, she leaned over the wall to look down at them as she grabbed her bag and held it over the ledge.
"Uh...be careful down there, boys!" she called out to them with half-sincerity, "hang on, help is coming--oops!"
She threw 'dropped' her purse down on them, a horrified look upon her face...and a devilish grin hidden deep within the skin.

Alexander hung on tight and smiled over at Alex as he came to save him.
"Sorry, D! But this could have been worse, I could have been dead!" he grinned, hoping the morbid joke would have shed a bit of light on the situation, "....uh....wait...where did you get wings from??"
There wasn't much time for an answer as Lilith's bag came down and knocked Alexander in the face. He let out a short scream before falling back and into the water - man, that woman had to watch what she was doing!!

Seigmand retreated back to an area out of view before working his art. Given the size of his task and the reduced power of his Geomancy he had to actually pull the earth up with several forms, effectively creating a wall on a wall, and so forth. Luckily the Earthlings were too preoccupied that even when one or two glanced his way is was nothing more than that; a glance. Seigmand resumed a normal posture and went back to Trucido, his task completed.

As the wall was finished, the water level started to sink down. Trucido ran over to the light and once he was over it, he started to dig. He chucked away the rocks, and move the sand and the mud, out of the way.

Xïsa walked over an tapped on Trucido's shoulder. "Allow me to do it sir." He said as he pulled out his Claymore. He dug away at it until there was a loud thud, Xïsa looked down and saws a green handle and it was connected to something purple.

Trucido was so excited that he quickly hopped down into the hole and stated to carefully pull the vase out with his hands.
"This is it!" He said with glee

"Damnit!" Alex swore, both pairs of wings beating the air just above the water. He folded thmback, diving for his lord and, trying to keep his wings above water, reached in to grab his wet form and pulled him out. Struggling to keep aloft while supporting Alexander's considerable ate, he dragged the young king to a shore at the bottom of the canyon, then collapsed to the ground, breathing hard.

I wonder if keeping their eyes on me counts as keeping their eyes on Alex? Elexa wondered, peering into the canyon as something - probably the king's faithful captain - dragged him to the riverbank.
"Oh no!" she shouted in horror. "That poor kid! He fell into the river, whatever shall we do! Someone, call the guards!" She had seen some people in official lookign uniforms called 'guards' or 'rangers' or something.
She made sure to look her best act of distraught and beautiful, allowing some leg to be bared of her skirt as she leaned over the railing and into the canyon below.

Zelos watched the incident through mild interest, Lilith being her usual whiny self, Alexander not having any clue what to do, Seigmand looking... well, like himself. Elexa showing off once again. And to top it off, he was with Grim Dagger. A man who could almost be Xisa's rival. Execpt with emotions.

Night watch as everyone else was doing something. He yawned and thought Why did he make me guard? Are the heroes here? If they are, they better come soon... His face show annoyance.

Alexander was dragged to some kind of shore (at least it was out of the water) and lay on the ground, peering over at Alex who was only too exhausted himself from the rescue.
Alexander frowned, feeling a horrible guilty feeling in his stomach. Something about watching the young man beside him exhaust himself like this just for him made him feel terrible.
And what did you say to something like this? 'Thank you'? 'I'm sorry'? It was awkward. Alexander had known tons of guards who would come running to help him if he needed anything, but the specific bodyguard like Alex was with him all the time - his purpose being to serve and protect him, the king.
But who protected Alex? Who looked after him if he was hurt or tired?
Alexander continued to lay on the ground, feeling slightly dizzy now, and lightly reached out his hand to stroke one of Alex's wings. The only other person he'd seen with wings was Miri back in Florida, and she was from Earth.
What did this mean for Alex, then? He had wings, too. Was he the same type of person as Miri? Did he come from Earth, too? Was he supposed to protect Earth like Miri?
These were questions he wanted to ask, but wouldn't. Not at this time, anyway.
"...they're pretty..." he found himself softly saying to Alex before resting his head on his side, waiting for someone to come retrieve them. For the time being, Alexander used the last of his magic available to him at the moment to try to alleviate any pain that Alex could possibly had been feeling from over-working his wings (did it even hurt him to use them?) and muscles.
Someone had to look out for Alex, too. Alexander decided there it had to be him.

Lilith's eyes wandered over to Elexa and watched as she leaned over the railing herself.
It would be only too perfect...she could go over there and push that little tramp over that railing, watch her flail and scream to her doom. Except no one would be able to help her. They'd end up helping that annoying boy and his guard and they'd have to bury Elexa.
She backed away from the railing and ended up taking a step or two in Elexa's direction before stopping where she was. Another thought had come to her, afterall, that thought being what could possibly happen to her if she did follow through with this murder attempt. Had Elexa been a nobody like that Andy Jammer or that other brat that showed up in her forest not too long ago, she probably could do it and be free of consequences.
This was a queen, however disgusting of a kingdom she was a ruler to. Somehow she wouldn't have wanted Trucido having to bail her out of that, nor did she think Trucido would be pleased to do anything like that, either.
So instead, she looked around and saw that now the two boys were apparently safe, some eyes started wandering. Most men turned their gazes (and some their cameras) to Elexa's legs and whatever else they could spy, however. Lilith would have to take care of the rest.
She reached into the front of her dress and pulled out a small vial with a purple-coloured powder in it. Sprinkling only a small amount into her hand, she cupped it to her mouth and gave everyone around her a still startled look, sucking in the powder as she did so.
And Lilith remained standing there for another two seconds before her eyes rolled up into her head and she collapsed in the crowd of people, unconscious.
