Welcome to Gaia! ::

The girl smiles at Karina and Lucillia's reactions to the gift, for it meant that she had picked right. She then looked at a watch she had on her wrist, and after getting the time, stood. "I must be going right now. I have an urgent appointment to keep." She offers a hand to Karina. "We shall meet again, Karina. I hope we can talk more then." She then turns to Lucillia and adds causally, "How do you like your gift, Lucilla? Fits you well? If it doesn't, I can find something better, don't worry." She then smiles gently at the two friends before waving goodbye and running off.

She moved out of the park and towards the back-alleys, where she knew Masato would be. She eventually found him in an old dusty alley that looked like it hadn't been visited in years. She sat down next to him and watched him silently, waiting for him to respond to her presence.

The girl had followed Masato indirectly, tracking his general location and keeping a few buildings between her and him, in order to not arouse his suspicions. Once he stopped moving, she then moved behind him, and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. "Hi." She started her conversation with. "You are Masato, right? The loner who turns his back on the world? I have this for you." She hands him a box wrapped up in course twine and newspaper. Inside is a golden hair clip with ornamental carvings and small gems. "Even if you don't like it, even if you can't stand it. Keep it. In time it will make sense. Along with the world." With that, she vanished from in front of his eyes.

Before he finished the finally gulp of his apple, Masato felt a tap come along his shoulder “Who’s…” He turned around taking notice to the girl he seen in the back alley. “What the…how did you…” Before he could finish his sentence the girl asked if he was Masato, without getting an answer she placed the box into his hands. “Why did you give…this?” Before he could finish she continued on saying that to keep it, even if it looks a little silly.”Why would I want a present from you?” He asked, not getting an answer back from her as she vanished in front of him. His eyes widen with surprise, as he didn’t know how to explain what just happened. He looked at the box unwrapping it to only see a golden hair clip with ornamental carvings and small gems placed on it. “Why did I get a hair clip?” He asked himself this question a couple times, as he glared towards the clip. “Should I throw it away? But that girl told me to keep it?” He scratched his head with his free hand, as he continued to ask the same question over and over again. “Well its free stuff…I’ll just give it to my step mom later” Placing the clip into his right side pocket. He forgot that he still had the apple that he was eating contained on his side, still waiting for him to finish eating it. “I lost my appetite” Grasping it on the apple as he threw it in the garbage can. “It's getting pretty late…But I don’t want to go home…?” Masato was basically the lone wolf, not wanting any friends or family in his life. He despised every time he went home to his step mother or his father. So he decided to just continue to sit on the bench that was next to the store that went by the name Auto-mobiles.

Time started to pass as people kept on passing Masato, A little girl came up to him soon after as she kept on staring at him. “Man I really had enough people staring at me for awhile…” He glared at the little girl hoping that it would scare her away. But it didn’t, she gave him a bright smile towards Masato. He again had a surprise look onto his face. He didn’t say a word as he nudge the little girl away “Leave” He said once again looking away from her. The little girl just stood there smiling at Masato as she placed her hand onto his. “You look sad mister…a smile could help you” The little girl then let go as she ran off to where her mommy was. Masatos' eyes widen much more, as if it looked like he was about to cry. “A smile…”

The girl reappeared on a roof top near the middle of the city and looked to the sky as it grew dark and stormy, something that hadn't happened in years. She sighs sadly and then begins to blur again. "This is when it all begins. The end..." She then disappears, no sign of her remaining. And as the storm comes in, people begin to grow tired, like their life energy is being drained away.

One by one, the characters begin to sleep and dream. Dream of another world, another place. Full of danger, adventure, and the things that were never truly found on the Earth they knew. And one by one, the adventures wake up again in a chamber of white marble, on a whole another world.

((We are switching from day time to night time, people. Night 0 begins now.))

Night came and Niall's parents took him home. Naturally they asked where he got the mirror, to which he didn't answer. Sighing in annoyance, they brought him home and immediately sent him to bed. So many things were bothering him right now, like who gave him the mirror and what he meant by who he really wanted to be. After he thought about it for a few minutes, he finally decided to close his eyes and drift off into sleep.

Lili had been running around with her dog, Teddy, when the the sun began to set. She was called in for dinner, and afterwords, went straight to her room. All of a sudden, she started to get sleepy. She collapsed on her desk, fast asleep.

She began to dream, and at first, everything was dark. Lili couldn't see a thing, and it terrified her. The blackness enclosed her, stripping away all her thoughts and memories. The darkness around her solidified, and she lay still, waiting for the dream to be over.

The coffin lid lifted and the girl began to stir. Her appearence was similar to before, but something had definately changed. Her now red eyes opened, quickly taking in her surroundings. The wooden walls, the nearness of the sides...

The girl shrieked and lept out of the coffin. She turned to see other people nearby in similar coffins. Her face grew warm as she realized they had heard her outburst. Then the blush dropped from her face as she looked around. "Where... is this place?"

Masato kept silent as he sat there on the bench, looking depress like he usually does, till nighttime arrived. “I don’t want to go back to that place…” He said this quietly, “I’ll just stay here for tonight” he started to drift away into a deep slumber as he slept on the bench….

The scene appeared in what looked like a coffin with a boy in it. “Ahh…” He seemed like he was very relaxed in the coffin. As he slowly opened his eyes, taking sight on what he was in. He had long black hair, along with bright red eyes. The Coffin Lid then started to move, opening up as it did. The area he was in was unknown as it only revealed that of darkness. He lifted up, fully sitting up to reveal everything that was around him. The first thing that the boy notices around him was the other coffins, which contained other people. “Ahhh” But he didn’t say anything else looking up to another person who basically screeched, including another man. He then placed both of his hands onto the side of the coffin. This lifted him up and out of the coffin. Revealing on what the boy was wearing, he had a white rope on including some strange designs on them. He didn’t say anything as he just stood still completely.
