The cloaked Lilith landed in a small clearing a couple miles to the East of the Wall. Giving directives that she was to remain cloaked and out of sight unless it was necessary to retrieve herself and David, the blonde would walk with quietly measured steps through the trees and out towards the Wall with a glance at David. They'd slept on the journey here and it would be just a few more hours until daylight suffused California.
Just a few hours until the war began.
She was wary of the fact she was so close to the wall. Not because of Gaia...but because of Khaos. Because Kronos had sensed her last time. So she remained several miles out where they landed and crouched in the very centre of the clearing and pressed her hand against the earth, allowing her qi to pulse against it.
"Gaia, we request a chance to ask for some information you hold. Mother Earth is wise and holds vast knowledge of the ages and occurrences upon and within herself."
She was hoping they wouldn't have to go nearer to the Wall...but would if they had to.

David stood next to her. This was his first trip to the wall ouside of flying around it. The massive structure went so high, it was easier for him to go around than to fly over and risk being seen. Still, they were miles away, and yet Kiyr was speaking to the earth as though these beings had some..ungodly power to-
"It was foolish to come here."
He jumped, turning to the asian, tattooed woman who seemed rather...peeved at their arrival. The earth was falling from her form like a liquid, indicating she had just come out of the earth. She walked forward, eyes softening a bit at seeing who it was, but still standing tall as an oak. She seemed...pleased, still, with how everything was phrased. Respect. It was everything when dealing with a titan.
"Did Hyperion send you? Are you the advanced scouting party? No...your not. I can't feel an army within five hundred miles. What, then, can Mother Earth do for you?"
David gaped a moment but had soon collected himself. He would let Kiyr take the lead on it.

The blonde rose to her feet at the words and turned to watch the Titaness. Kyrie glanced up at David and smiled a ghost of a smile. She put a fist over her heart and bowed; it may not have been the Titan way of greeting, but it was still high respect. She remembered from the first time.
Straightening, she nodded at Gaia's words.
"Gaia, Mother Earth, allow me to present David Blaze, The Storm Dragon. David Blaze, may I introduce Gaia."
Might as well follow formality, as it never hurt.
But, she continued.
"The questions I have deal with the Titan Atlas. What happened to him..?"

Gaia watched her, more pleased as time went on. Humans were so rash and out of touch but...so far, a few had shown worth. Now wonder Hyperion was eager to ally himself with them. She would take Davids hand, nodding at the male with respect due his position...at least, according to the rebellion here.
She frowned at the mention of Atlas. Not that she didn't trust them but...
"Atlas...was the strongest among us. Some reckoned he is stronger than Typhon. Nobody knows, really, as they have never faught. Typhon would bait him but...he's not a man that is easily angered. Many years ago...that changed. He grew irate at the people of Rome, and their use of the city of Pompeii. The legend states...he moved under the city, took the earth by the mountain in his hands, and lifted. This caused Mount Vesuvius to erupt and destroy the city."
She stared off a ways. David was enraptured- he loved the history of things.
"When he emerged from under the rubble in 998 AD, he was no more pleased by the state of the world. Of the killing. Atlas...he can see everything, all at once, inside his head. Not past and future...but in the present. Add that in with his ability to negate once powers and he is formidable. He vanished around this time, vowing not to step foot into the world again until an age when those who live appreciate those who died."
She watched Kiyr now.
"He hasn't been seen since. But...there is a place in Canada that has abilities similar to his own. It was rumored he was spotted in the forests there but...we couldn't confirm. It was the best lead we had though. I could....get you inside but...once inside you'd be on your own. Even I can't fight his powers."

Kyrie listened quietly, trying to absorb the history she was given as quickly as possible, though she, too, enjoyed the tale.
She took a breath, about to confirm several things for Gaia.
"He is taken by the ARC facility in Aurora, Ontario, I can confirm that for you. I would also like to formally ask for your help, provided the end of the battle is favourable." She didn't look to David. Doubtless he would perhaps protest - now or later - but she would press on. "He does not deserve to be chained at the bottom of their facility, used to null qi throughout the building. But also...I wish to seek out Ouranos, still, I suppose. Atlas has the best chance of finding him. And I thought you might like that, as Ouranos' wife..? You do not need to worry terribly much once we are inside aside from the obvious threat the facility as a whole is. I can help to get us in, as well, but...Atlas would not have much of a reason to trust me, though I have a Circle. Aside from being a stranger, it is possible my lineage would interfere with it. This is most suitable for two people, only."

David stuck his hands in his pockets, frowning At Kiyr but remaining silent.
Gaia, however, stared for a long time as though she was trying to sift through what Kiyr had just said. Ouranos? Impossible...he'd been gone even before Atlas. Long before. Gaia...how she would like to see him again. She would step forward and grasp Kyrie by the front of the shirt, staring down at her wide eyed.
"Who, exactly, told you of him, and what would make you wish to find him."
David stepped forward and grasped Gaias wrist. He would stare at her in both alarm and with threat in his voice.
"Let her go, Gaia. She is not a threat to you."
Gaia would snap a backhand at David, cutting his cheek and forcing his face to the side roughly, bruising popping immediately along his face. He turned his eyes back to the woman of the earth.
"Do not hit me again."
Now he was pissed, and refraining from fighting back.

Though she had every right to be fearful, the only expression on her face was one of surprise as Gaia took the front of her shirt. She did not struggle, and was about to speak calmly when David reached in.
She was quick to regain her balance and equally quick to position herself somewhat in front of David. Not wholly, as neither he nor Gaia needed or would be shielded from the other, but the gesture was pointed.
"Just breathe..." She whispered on an exhale, then lifted her voice to normal levels. She didn't ask David if he was okay. He had weathered worse than a slap, before, but wasn't about to make him appear weak. "I believe your actions towards one another were uncalled for. However, to answer your question, Earth Mother... It is likely you still recall him. It was Scene that informed me of these things. He recommended you as an infiltration partner.
"It has been at least a thousand years since you have seen Ouranos, has it not..? Since anyone has, according to what some of the other Titans said of him."
There was empathy in her blue eyes, and forgiveness for grabbing her shirt. Really, there was nothing more appropriate than that, because of what little - but unerringly important - she knew of it.
"As to why, well... I would like to personally thank him for undoing what Kronos did to my sister, still. She died. He froze her qi so she could not revive." She didn't look away, nor say she had already said as much to Ouranos' domain. "Otherwise, I think if you would like to be reunited with him, that would be reason enough, as well."

Despite her anger, she was impressed the man took the blow. Not wanting to offense, he was clearly showing restraint, a trait she herself was more well known for. She excersized it now. She relaxed enough for David to feel confidence in releasing her hand, letting a tear of blood start a path down his cheek. He didn't wipe it away. Gaia appeared indifferent, but sniffed and looked away.
"Yes. A thousands at least. More around eleven hundred. And he only showed himself to me in a dream. He's not....alive, anymore. Or so I thought. Why would you go hunting for him? And Scene...that name raises too many questions."
So...she wouldn't even bother asking about him. As Kiyr answered regarding Ouranos, she went pale but...more out of shock. Her face stayed the same. She cleared her throat.
"You...saw him then? What...how was he? Did he...ask for me?"
Gaia, acting girly? Now THAT was bizarre.

Kyrie blinked, slowly. Well, this was certainly a different Gaia than the front she was used to seeing! Her eyes lit up a little and softened.
"...unfortunately I did not see what happened. I later talked with an elder Titan named Caellum after chasing and frightening his grandson, Tobias. Cael told me he observed a hand grab my sister's ankle and it was likely Ouranos. David would have reversed it at the cost of his own life, so...I really have two reasons to thank him. Scene was another that could have, but he is rather...detained as Hyperion's prisoner. So, unfortunately I did not see him, and in that time he did not ask for you, though Cael did tell me of Atlas."
She closed her right hand, lightly, which was between Gaia and David, then relaxed it.

Gaia's eyebrows drew down.
"Cael...was he an old man, with a young boy?"

Kyrie nodded, gaze silently questioning.
"He said the others often refer to him as Old Man Cael behind his back and think he cannot hear them. The boy, Tobias, calls him grandpa."

She chewed her lip. Was it possible...?
"Cael was the name Ouranos went by shortly after the fall of the Persian Empire. He and his soul, Toby, would fight congruently, but could morph intermittently without issue. I have seen him in the form of the old man and boy...back when Greece was a thriving empire. But...I don't know that he would take that form again. It could be an imposter or...it might be him."
She would turn back to David, eying him a moment.
"My apologies for hitting you."
He grinned.
"It's alright. You hit like a girl anyway."
She blinked, then tilted her head to the left.
"You remind me of Typhon."
David shrugged, not adressing it, but Gaia would move on anyway to Kiyr.
"I'll come. There must be a reason he sent you for them. Or...a reason he is hiding. I could go back to find him but...he would just leave. So. If I want to see him I have no choice but to come along."
She didn't seem pleased but seemed confident in hre walls ability to be secure.

The blonde cleared her throat with a long blink at Gaia's words.
"...I had asked him if he was, as Caellum is Latin for 'the Heavens', and that is Ouranos' domain. He certainly looked old enough to fit the age. He laughed kindly and said he was not, though I am fairly certain I startled and perhaps offended some of the Titans around us. He had sent Toby to bed."
So she had been half-right and completely unaware of the other half. If indeed it was him, as Gaia just pointed out. She nodded.
"Right now we need to focus on one day at a time, starting with today."
She said nothing on what Gaia said to David, unsure if it was compliment, insult, or a bit of both.
"I am grateful and honoured that you accept my request, Gaia. Thank you."

David would let the small line of blood continue down his cheek and drop off his chin, watching Gaia with a small smirk. Of course the lady was coming along. He would wait until she agreed to come along before he spoke.
"Good. Give me some time to tag you back for this."
He wiped the blood off his cheek, finally, the red not showing up against his black sleeve.
Gaia watched him.
"Your not gonna touch me."
She said it more like a challenge than a threat, as though he didnt have the balls.
"Ha-We'll see."
He would smirk, letting her see his lack of fear. Gaia just brushed him off and would take a deep breath.
"Khaos has been Taken by an agent of your Dragons. His home in Othrys is gone...and therefore, Kronos likely knows what you plan. He will be attacking, not defending."
Or so she assumed. Kronos was a general, and knew war.

The blonde ignored the trading of verbal pokes and challenges. It was what Gaia said after that was truly concerning. She frowned and looked up towards the sky, searching to see the sun. If Hyperion didn't know, he needed to.
"You do not know more..?" She wasn't chastising Gaia, but asking because it was what she needed to know. "Hyperion needs to know, if he does not."
