Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Listen to her, Selia." Boothe slurred, nodding heavily. Boothe looked between the two and suddenly felt the alcohol take its toll. He almost immediately fell asleep, his head jerked back and he was snoring lightly.

Valik walked to Valerie and tucked in the jacket at her sides to close out the cold. He stared at her sleeping figure for a moment, then went back to sitting on his rock. He wasn't worried about the light that approached them, and Donnie didn't seem to be either. So he scooted to the ground and leaned on the rock, letting sleep take him. He trusted Donnie for some reason not to do anything but watch out for them if he chose not to sleep.

"I do not hate you," Donnie finally said to her. "I do not hate vampires, er, just because I am this way." Donnie scratched at his white shirt with a gloved hand. He glanced at Valik to check if he was still asleep, then looked towards the light. Though it was closer, Donnie still couldn't make out what it was. Even though the light was radiant, it did not hint at what was even surrounding it. He looked back at Valerie. "Most of my people do, yes." he nodded at his own words. "But all of us felt the hatred naturally once. Now not all hate." Donnie would say more, but he could not translate his thoughts to her language. He just nodded again, then went to toying with the tip of his spear.

Donnie smiled, but it almost looked forced. A melodic voice was singing. Another joined, and another. It was hard to hear, though, since it was distant, coming from the light. "People," Donnie said, confused. Valik woke then. "The hell is that?" he said, rubbing at his groggy eyes. He stood and turned. "They're almost here. Why are they singing?" Donnie asked no one in particular. Valik knew why. "They're elves of light, the rarest of the elves." he breathed. "They will do us no harm." Valik said surely, nodding his head.

It was only one who was emitting the light. I beautiful woman with golden hair. Her cloak was of golden silk, the hood that covered her face a sheen gold as well. She was looking down. As she removed the hood, she looked at the three with her alluring eyes. Soldiers, obviously hers, stood behind her with bows and spears of gold. The woman smiled at them. Her voice was melodic, too. "I understand you are in need of aid." she said. Valik felt his mouth open from being so awestruck. Sebastian emerged behind her. "Meet the Lady of Light." Sebastian said, smiling, proud of himself. She looked between them. "You may simply call me Lady," she said, for she was nameless. "My armies are yours." she spread her arms, her long sleeves of silk swaying in the wind. "She just brought a few soldiers. Ya know, just in case." Sebastian nodded.
"My armies will be called by this," she retrieved a golden cornucopia from one of her soldiers. A warhorn. She held it with two hands as if it was the last treasure in the world. "We will fight." she said.

Sebastian waved a hand, as if to say "pish posh" but he blushed. Lady bowed her head. "No need to bow to me, my child," she smiled warmly at her. She then gave the horn back to the soldier. "My people will make a more comfortable camp for you." with that, she turned, and so did her soldiers to begin working on the camp. Sebastian stayed with the three. He shook hands with Donnie and introduced himself. "So, where's Selia?" he looked between them.

Boothe was already up, swirling the same empty glass. "Ah, you're up," he said when realizing she had woken, and set the glass down. "So, what activities will we be doing today, hm?"

Sebastian's eyes trailed off then averted to Valik and Valerie. He didn't say anything. There was nothing to say; they all knew that it was bad. Donnie sighed. "Well," he rocked on his feet nervously, "I think I will help them with camp." then he dropped his spear where he had been sitting and walked off. After he was out of earshot Sebastian narrowed his eyes. "You let her go," he paused, letting his blood boil more. "to that bloody place!" his voice raised. Sebastian had a feeling he knew what Selia was planning on doing there. Valik raised his hands, unsure of what to say. "She's with Boothe, Sebastian. Remember that." Valik reminded him. Sebastian scoffed. "Boothe! That's just ******** great! He'd protect a bottle of vodka before he'd protect a person!" Sebastian yelled at him, gathering the attention of some of the elves. Donnie just chuckled and continued working. Valik glared at Sebastian. "Don't talk about my brother like that. Oh, and if you'd recall, how many times has he saved your scrawny a**?" Now Valik raised his voice. Instead of providing a witty comeback, he shoved at Valik's chest. Startled, Valik went back a few steps, losing his balance and falling in the snow. Valik darted his eyes at him. They were red.

Sebastian continued glaring at Valik, but spoke to Valerie. "You can only get there if you're like Boothe. If I went, it'd be too late; it would take days." his voice was had lowered but the anger was still there. Valik shook his head violently and when he stopped his eyes were back to normal. The light elves had stopped watching. Except for Donnie who seemed to look disappointed. Sebastian didn't like that. Valik stood, acting as if nothing had happened. Sebastian played along for now. "I don't trust him," Sebastian growled. Valik glanced at his new friend. "Donnie?" Valik snorted. "Well he trusts us." Sebastian still didn't accept it. "Doesn't mean I have to trust him. I'll be watching him," he got closer to Valik. "And if anything happens, it's on you." he warned, then walked off to approach Lady. Valik rolled his eyes and looked at Valerie, giving a who-does-he-think-he-is look.

Boothe raised an eyebrow. "And why not you, Selia?" he questioned, placing his elbows on his knees. "If not you, who?" What other choices were there?
