Welcome to Gaia! ::

Salvia stretched her raven wings lazily in the shade of a large tree as she lie comfortably beneath it. She peered out of the darkness at the field before her, the wisps of smoke that ever surrounded her drifting out into the light of the sun slowly, perfumed with the scent of tea leaves. The goddess fidgeted with her sleeves, somewhat bored. She flicked her tail, sending more smoky tendrils crawling out of the darkness into the sun. The scents about her shifted to a more severe smell, though it was not unpleasant.

Her lids drooped slightly as she listened. She took a deep breath, completely unhindered by the myriad scents around her. A wry grin played about her face and she closed her eyes entirely. The incense around her changed to that of roses, tinged with faint pheromones. She'd smelled a male. This could be an interesting day, indeed. Her eyes eased open and peered out from the darkness as she relaxed and waited.

She stood slowly, stretching lazily. She could smell the male nearer now and she smiled to herself. She wouldn't wound his ego by letting on she knew he was there. Instead, she chose to move out into the open where he might see her better. The aromas around her grew stronger, more enticing. She was bored and wanted to meet whatever creature had happened upon her. She was tired of solitude and welcomed whatever may come. She walked smoothly and slowly into the sun, blinking against the light as she stepped out of the shadows.

She flicked her tail absently, strengthening her aura of smells and sending more black smoke filtering out into the air around her. She tossed her flowing hair also and stretched in the sun. She fluttered her raven wings as she squinted in the light. She was used to the cover of darkness, but the sun wasn't so bad really. She took a few more casual steps and bent to examine a flower, wondering why the male hadn't come to her yet. She strengthened the pheromones in her incense, trying to entice the male to come closer.

She chuckled under her breath as the male edged closer. She decided to end the game and called out, "I know you're there, you might as well stop stalking me." She turned to face him, her eyes narrowed against the light. The heavily scented smoke snaked across the ground, reaching the male and twisting up his legs to his face. She wanted to overwhelm him with the distracting and seductive smells.

She shrugged and smiled. She could see this was no mere ulaya, but a fellow god. How interesting. "A hunter?" Her voice was soft and seductive. She took a few steps towards him. "I was thought I was toying with a mere male." She chuckled and looked him up and down. "So you are a fellow god, that much I can tell. In that case, I will introduce myself. I am Salvia, Goddess of Incense." She gave him a curt bow and righted herself, watching him.

A wry smile spread across her face. "Well, as I said, I had assumed I was toying with a mere male. You certainly do not fit that description." She regarded him a moment more. "Hunting, huh? How exhilarating." She paused, thinking back on something another god had told her. "You aren't by chance... the brother to one Kuragari?" She cocked her head at him, looking at him with more intensity.
