Welcome to Gaia! ::

He rested his head on her shoulder and gently licked her cheek when his own words echoed in his head. They were in the she-demon's velvet voice. "at all costs"

The group ate a hasty breakfast and hoisted their respective haversacks filled with extra rations. Seth soon descended the stairs toting a longbow while strapping on a full quiver of arrows. He rolled up the map and adjusted the haversack on his shoulders. "Before we set off I want to show you a special place." The group followed him down a hidden path that seemed to wind forever until suddenly opening to a clearing dominated by rows of marble spires. They were graves. The light fell golden and soft between the leaves of a tree the group had never seen before.

The tree had silver bark that curled like a cedar and leaves the color of gold. Scattered amongst the leaves were tiny red flower buds just beginning to bloom. "This is the Illion Tree," Seth explained, "believe it or not the bark of this tree can be fused with purified silver to produce a chain mail that rivals mithril but it's useless for weapons." The attention fell once again to the marble graves. "These are the graves of past Aradin. As you can see there are quite a few of them." Seth walked on through an arch in a hedge wall into another cemetery with 11 graves made of a blue crystal and as tall as a tower. "These are the graves of past Saviors. The Savior Line supposedly ends with the thirteenth: me." He turned to the group, "I know I've probably delayed us by a good hour but I wanted you to see the Graveyard of Saviors. Only a select few have seen what you have."

Graveyard of Saviors

Crystael's nine tails flicked nervously. She was never comfortable around graves, but being around graves and strange people made her especially uncomfortable.

Reign snarled in the prescence of demons. "This is my turf" he growled running to the front of the group. "Let's see what you got."

Sinku drew his shot gun and held it one handed aimed at one of the creatures while drawing his dragon horn dagger with his free hand and flipped it around backwards ." Seth what's the best way to kill these things?"

Crystael immediatly got her bow out and notched an arrow. She loosed the first arrow at the clostest daemon, aiming for the place between its eyes.

Crytael's arrow broke in two and fell to the ground. The daemon merely blinked as it swiped at Crystael's eyes. Reign's blows scattered the daemons for a second before they countered with spinning blades and grass spears. Tiny earth thorns tore into the soles of the group's feet. Seth slammed the ground with his fist sending a shockwave underground. The earth spikes halted briefly and the thorns sank into the ground giving Reign precious seconds to finish his opponents with the ability of sure footing. One daemon hovered above the rest pulsing with a sickly green aura. It seemed as though the creature was chanting.
