Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sometimes it is simply called the battlefield. No matter what your faction is, you can feel and sense that this place is covered with sadness. A great civilization torn asunder with the horrors of two mighty forces crashing together in combat. The few remaining humans have set up a camp here where they hope to annihilate both forces. This is where the fight is. This is a place of death.

Alaric was out on patrol at this point in time, it was duty to protect and underground bastion that reminded hidden from both demonic and angelic sources. The only ones that knew of it existence where humans, and that how it was going to stay. His skull probe hovered around him scanning the area for any sources of life that were not human or even half human. Despite those vile creature coming into existence some where of use to humanity at his point in time but were not over welcomed in there society.

The probe had also been mapping this area fro some time now and it discovered a threat, the information was sent directly to Alaric and he knew where he must go now. After some time he came across a demon feeding and some human remains, with out any question he lunged forward and killed the creature with the strike of his halberd it let out a scream that echoed through the area. He would have to move now seeing as more would come his way.

Alaric began to travel once more, decayed bits of human and demon lay littered across the ground, once great structures, lay in ruins. Humanity was nearing its end, but it would fight for it survival, until the last its last dieing breath and that was there goal to restore humanity to its former glory. He came across another demon and it spoke to him, "your words are nothing by lie demon, you shall feel the wrath of humanity" Alaric yelled at the creature before he fired a few round at it. It was fast and moved beside him and though it might be a good idea to strike.

That was a mistake on its part, Alaric grabbed it by is skull and then with his halberd tore it a sunder. The crimson color of its blood lay there and covered a bit of his armor, so far it has only been weak creature around this area, and he hoped it would stay this way. Alaric continued about his way while muttering a small prayer to clear his mind. He would not let these foul creature play with his mind, his faith in humanity was too strong to let that from happening.

He continued about his patrol, there was sun breaking in through the clouds ,his armor shinned and his halberd glowed a brilliant blue as well a small cracking sound surrounded him. Alaric let out a sigh as he walked about, it would be some time before he had to return to the base but for now he would hunt what prey came his way.

The probe began to wander around it scout for something it could sense something in the area, it was not quite human but close enough to tell exactly, it sent the data over at Alaric and would him decide. He stopped moving and thought for a moment, it might be a threat or some useful resource. He deemed it a worthy cause to fin the source of this disturbance.

Alaric began moving through the rubble of the area, he came across a few unpleasant sites, eaten bodies. Some massacred, decapitate, dead children, but this is what humanity was now. A dieing race, with only a few places of hope for it survival, Alaric let out a sigh as he went through this area, it was difficult terrain but he made it through all right.

As they got closer to there target the skull probe rushed ahead of him and looked around if focused in on a female figure it seemed untouched. Alaric got closer and the probe went in closer and looked at a girl and sent the data back to Alaric. He got a good view of this person and would be there soon. The probe circled the girl(Mirina), it would run away if she caught site it and return to its master.

Alaric wondered where that probe had gotten its self do, it just floated around and went where it pleased. He sighed a little as he tried to figure out the best way to get through this area, it would take more time then he would have liked, so he just ordered the probe to follow the target until he could get there. The probe did as it was ordered.

Alaric faced a mountain of rubble and so forth, he thought for a moment before h moved back and picked up some speed, he rushed up and slid down the other side. It was easy then he thought and nothing got damaged. It would be only a short amount of time before he reached the target. After a bit of time he could see it now.

"What veil creature do we have here" Alaric asked, his voice sounding a bit distorted through his helmet. He approached the girl and watched her for the time being waiting to she how she would react to his him and his probe which hovered around.

(( I am fine with just waiting around, not over fond of the thought of playing a demon or celestial anyway))

Torrent Delacroix

The steel blade sang its battle cry with every rock or crack split in soil it came in contact with as the boy blood stained and smiling dragged the weapon almost the same size and weight as himself in tow letting it trail across the dunes as he struggled with it every once in a while to make it over that little bump or jagged stone, a voice in his head screamed to leave the piece of junk behind that is was nothing but slowing him down... to which his own voice screamed back incoherent ramblings of someone hell bent on keeping his prize for the time being.

"Its only a couple more miles till were home then..." The heavy words spoken from a body all to accustomed to pushing itself till death was meter's away was cut short mid sentence from a second bone chilling scream most likely the last whatever loosed it would ever loose, The voice inside his head changed its tune at the deathly wail... others would be attracted to the noise... others meant more friends...

Tory broke out in a jog at first the sheer excitment of more friends gave him strength more then he had known for days not before long the boy was running as fast as he could leaping from stone to stone the massive blade bouncing every which way behind him smashing off virtually everything in its path now, it let out a screech as the sharp edge ran across a larger boulder throwing out a technicolor shower of sparks... it only pushed him to run harder.

He came to a skidding halt at the top of a hill maybe three or four miles from where he had been and dropped to his knees gasping for breath, his fingers like jelly now cared not for the weapon or what it stood for released it to let gravity do its work... Riack would have nothing of it, such weakness was a insult to what he once was, The boys head violently snapped back up not even giving Tory time to spit out the saliva building in his mouth that seemed to taste of blood and iron.

"A HUMAN YOU NEARLY KILLED ME FOR ONE BLOODY HUMAN" Tory inwardly snarled at the demon inside only to be ignored... Riack relaxed having seen what he needed to letting the boys head drop back down in exhaustion. Sweat poured down the boys face as he rested on all fours digging his nails in the dirt, it mixed with the dried blood streaking down in line like some strange war paint of people long since dead, The human did have a nice stick thought something missing in the boys current collection.

Mirina turned after a long moment. She knew not who she saw and had no interest in him. She continued to move on. She began to walk away at a moderate pace. Mirina felt not threat, no reason to fight, no reason to run, just walk away. She did so without so much as a wave or a good moments' eye contact.

The probe followed the young body as he rolled down the hill into the ditch, the dust cloud did not bother the probe at this point in time. When the dust cloud cleared the probed covered closer to the boy and extended one of it robotic limbs. It poke him light;y and took a sample of his DNA and began to analyze it as it moved back a little and continued to watch him

Alaric watched as the girl walked away without answering him, it did not matter at this point he would aid those that did not what any help. He then began to move in the direction of his probe, it was analyzing DNA from the boy and he seemed less like a human due to some of the reports the probe gave. After some time the probe was done and sent the information over quickly.

After Alaric read the report he rushed over picking up his speed, and got to the boy as fast as possible he was half human from what it could tell. This meant one of a few things eliminating or him possibly helping it although he did not like the last option so much. Alaric was running at this point in the the sound of metal hitting metal filled the air as he ran. His halberd was at his side as it cracked from the energy it stored after some time he reached the child and stared down at him.

During Alaric's travel to reach the boy the probe went in once more and poke the child lightly again to get another sample it was not much and he would barely feel anything aside from a light poke. Once more the probe moved to a safe distance. After Alaric arrived at the seen the probe moved to his side and hover there.

"What form of creature are you boy" Alaric asked, his voice having a small electronic tone to it. The sun was still out as well and his armor shined brightly, he looked down at the boy and began to wonder as to how he would respond.
