Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kinch rock is, in fact a cave. It goes deep underground and then comes into a large half-shere room. This room has nothing but a giant glowing pillar within it. This pillar is magical and around it are carved circles with a special writing in them which only a few can still read.

She continues down the dark cave until she reachs the pillar. She turns and looks up the tunnel, although she sees nothing. She turns back and approaches the great magic formation. She slips her hand into her bag and withdraws a small vile. She holds it in her palm and looks at it sorrowfully for a moment before uncorking it. A misty figure emerges and flies into the pillar. The pillar glows brighter than before and then a hooded man walks out of it.
"I hope you completed your task this time," he says.
"Here. Cloth from his tomb. Now please, show me my brother," Anna beggs.
The man takes the cloth and smacks Anna across the cheek.
"Do not ask to see him again! I decide when that happens! Unless you want another scratch across your other arm, go!" With that, the man turns and enters the pillar again, turning into mist and entering the vile again. Anna tucked away the vile and climbs out.

*There was a girl laying on the cold stone floor. Her eyes flickered open and she sat up.*
"Where am I?" she said aloud.
*Her tounge felt heavy and the words seemed unfamiliar, as if she was just repeating something from another language rather than actually knowing what she was saying. She slouched against a wall and laid her head back. She felt dizzy and strange. After her head cleared she stood up again and looked around. She appeared to be inside some kind of cavern. There was only one tunnel that led out and she started to go down it. She continued down it until she came to a dead end. She ran her hand along the stone and was about to turn back when it moved to the side. She stepped through into a large room and the stone closed behind her. There was a piece of rock jutting out from the ceiling and one on the floor in the center that had a bluish glowing tint. Everywhere around the two rocks were shattered fragments of the same substance. It appeared that something had broken there. She also noticed a tunnel with sunlight coming through it and climbed out of it into the open air. She took in the grass at her feet and theforest and the city and the tall menacing rocks a little ways away. She started to stumble towards the tall gates of the city, hoping to find something there.*

"Well, well, Anna. I've spent all this time looking for you, and now you are calling me?" He laughed.
"Shut up," Anna said sharply. "Nothing is funny with you. I called you to finish this and put you back where you belong. I warn you, do not underestimate me!"
"I am stronger than you, Anna. I have lived for hundreds of years and studied magic all of my life. You, a 21-year-old who grew up in a forest without any knowledge of magic expect to beat me?"
"It's been done before," Anna said pointedly.
Jushar's black eyes flashed with hatred. "I was not destroyed. Simply delayed. As you can see, I am here now."
"Whatever," Anna said. "Stop jabbering on and let's just finish this."

*Jushar leaped at her, swinging his sword at her, but this time it was charged with dark magic. Anna lept higher than good be expected and a shimmer of red showed someing out of her back. Then she spun around and sent a busrst of flame in Jushar's direction. It wound around his sheild and squeezed until the magic gave way. The flames died as soon as they broke the barrier and Jashar was thrown backwards. He quickly recovered and got up, sword in hand. He muttered something and suddenly Anna froze. He ran at her, his sword ready to kill. She concentrated as hard as she could and then leaped out of the way just before Jushar's sword hit where she had been standing. Firey wings appeared on her back and she hung, suspended in air.*

*Jushar's eyes narrowed. This was not what he had been expecting. Anna still remained where she was, tense and ready to block if an attack should come. Jushar held out his hand and dark energy swarmed to it. He muttered something and the energy dissapeared. Then a wolf made of the same substance appeared at his side. It paused a second , then lunged at Anna, bounding through the air as if there was an invisible floor. Its face was blank, but Anna could tell that this wolf wasn't coming to make friends. She put her hands out in front og her aas if she was pushing something away. Her eyes narrowed in concentration and suddenly the wolf was engulfed in flame. There was a tortured, inhuman screech and the wolf plummeted down, the dark matter breaking up as it hit the floor.*

*Anna changed back to her human form, but still kept the wings. She waited as Jushar gathered himself and got his wings back. He rose into the air again.*
"No spell," Anna repeated.
"It matters not what form you take, I will not be defeated!" Jushar shouted.
"No need to yell," Anna said just as calmly as before.
*Jushar raised his sword and dark energy came to it. Anna then unsheathed her own sword and the blade lit on fire. They froze for a second, each with their sword charged with their own element. Then Jushar lunged and the fighting began again.
