Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kukki turned her head and looked at the Dream who called out to them - a pink one with light blue tiger stripes. She smiled and waved back, "Hello down there!" Finally, some company! She thought this place was empty and desolate!

Hearing Kukki's shout of greeting, Lloyd glanced over at the newly arrived Dream. He grinned at Kukki and muttered, "See? I told you we'd meet new people!" He turned his gaze to the pink Dream and offered the same greeting, giving a small smile as well.

(Sanctum Glade (we don't have to put this every time, do we? XD; ))

Lloyd answered the light green Dream first, seeing as how he was more interested in that one than the pink one. This Dream had an entirely different shape to it, so, of course, this interested Lloyd. "Oh, I'm Lloyd, and the Dream a few feet away from me is Kukki." His voice lowered to a grumble as he muttered, "I guess she's my sister, but I don't really like that..." Lloyd smiled at the Dream again. "And I'm sorry for knocking you over, that was my fault."

((It's prefered, so LC knows where everyone is when he's doing events and awards and the like. ^^))

((Sanctum Glade))

Zaimid laughed. "It's nice to meet you! I don't have a sister, but I do have.." he paused, counting. "..Seven brother's at home. Most of them are nice, except Hagalaz and Ivan." His eyes wandered a bit, and he caught sight of Lloyd's swords. "Ooh, are those real? Aiao has something like those, 'cept it's smaller."

((Sanctum Glade))

Zaimid watched the other Dream twirl the blades with obvious ease, impressed. "Wow, thats cool!" At Lloyd's last statement, the Fancie grinned proudly. "I can help too! I know some magic that I was taught when I was little. It's useful in battles, and Ivan taught me how to fight!"

((Sanctum Glade))

Zaimid nodded. "Yep! It's light magic, and Araku was teaching me to use it when I was little. I'm very good at it now. You usually need to have runestones, scrolls, or some kind of artifact to be able to use it though." He flicked ruby-colored wings and grinned. "I can't use fire or dark magic, because I'm a Fancie."

(Mel attacks Kannan)
17+ 2= 19< 30

Throwing herself into her attack, Mel would unfortunatly find herself no where near capable of striking Kannan this attempt. Not so much as a sheared lock of hair for her efforts! A soft and mellow laugh was her reward for the attack, and the barest brush of a forked tail against her own fur tail in a taunting teaseing touch.

(Kannan casts Flare Surge at Mel)
25+ 4= 29> 16
5d6= 14+29= 43
50-43= 7

After his taunting brush with his tail, Kannan paused a few feet away from Mel, his cool smile still upon his lips as he lifted a paw towards her. A spark of crimson glowed upon his paw, and from it a spout of rolling flame lashed out towards her. Burning fur and feather alike, Kannan made a soft 'tut tut' sound with his tongue.

"A shame...such a shame...such beauty was meant to be doted upon...not destroied...ah but look! You still stand after my attack! What a wonderouse woman you are!"

55-2= 53 Health left for Kannan

Mel may take an action.

(Mel attacks Kannan)
17+3= 20<30
With her brave words and braver actions, Mel flung herself into her attack. Kannan however was just too quick..too nimble..and as she would thrust out her paw to strike at him, Kannan's arm would arch up, and knock her blow aside effortlessly. Rather then following his easy avoidance of her attack in the same manner he had been, Kannan's head darted forwards, to place upon Mel's curled lips a sudden kiss.

(Kannan attacks Mel)
25+5=30>16
7-30= -23

"Mock? Who is mocking? Truely my warrior goddess, I mean all these words that I have spoken to you, and your sisters today. Please, give them my tender reguards, and I long for the day I shall see your gorgeous faces once again..."

Speaking his silver words rapidly, Kannan kicked out with one of his legs, striking firmly into Mel's torso with great ferocity. Sustaining more damage then she could deal with, Mel's form was reduced to a whisp...and Kannan loosed a very deep chested sigh.

"Such beauty...how terrible to have dispatched it..."

Shaking his head again, he bent and retrived the scattered items..and vanished into the temple, the glowing crimson veins pulseing, and fadeing with every step inwards he took.

It wasn't difficult to feel the trembling mass of fur upon her leg. Glancing down with her ocean colored eyes, Alaynia offered a soft smile, though it honestly was just a momentary lapse. Her pale feathers at her ears began to sway gently as if a wind had taken a liking to them. At first, the motions were quite soft and and graceful. Yet soon, the feathers almost seemed to grow violent like a fierce windstorm had rushed past. Yet the Deejarne knew much better, for no wind had even touched her body nor blew past her fur.

"...something has happened..." she said, her voice remaining within her usual whisper.

Having a somewhat short attention span, the lavendar dream practically forgot her fears and perked her head up to look to see what had happened. The crystal which floated there also moved just as enthusiastically upwards, remaining close to Ansuz's head. Looking from left to right, then right to left, she bleated softly, finding nothing new to the land, save for a few more lava flows she was not familiar with.

"...Ansuz..." Alaynia uttered, her tone growing even quieter than usual. "...are you familiar with this area in which we wander? I know that you are initially from Nowhere... so do tell... are you familiar?"

Shuffling a paw into the other's thigh in a coy manner, a bit of a blush warmed her cheeks as she shyly shook her head from side to side.

"...Tis not good..." she sighed as she began to ponder if some more tainted creatures would possibly attack. The thought hanging upon her shoulder, she thought back to the scrolls she had read before. The ones with magical abilities.

"...Ansuz... I think I have something I would like to share with you..."

With that, her body hoovered up higher than before. Her nine tails, which had been practically bundled up prior, began to unfold, revealing a small stash of scrolls and stones which the larger of the two dreams had only remembered just prior to returning to Nowhere. Reaching in quickly before closing up the bundle of tails once more, she pulled out a blue scroll. Her hand moved towards Ansuz and she placed it in front of her.

"...read this, and you will be able to summon watery spears. In a place so filled with fire, it would probably be quite effective..."

The dreams purple eyes grew quite wide and a smile crossed over her maw. After the initial happy-shock, the smaller dream then suddenly leaped up in a seemingly dancing motion. She bleated like a young lamb who had just discovered something fun. Her mind was racing as she thought to herself I must be the luckiest Dream ever! Not only did I find Rainbow... but now Alaynia is being nice and giving me gifts! As giddy as one could be, it took her a while to calm down. Only once Alaynia uttered the words "Hush you fool!" did Ansuz stop.

How it grew quiet so quickly.
