Welcome to Gaia! ::

Erytheia waited patiently on the bridge. It was one of the locations he had given the coordinates to via the message he had arranged to be sent to other knights' signet rings. He was sure to only pick nights for meetings as the cover of darkness helped mask the odd attire.

Mosts nights no one came. Erytheia was beginning to almost get used to this fact. Sometimes it could be unsettling.

He didn't like being alone.

Pretending the reflection of the moon in the water below was his companion, he sighed and waited.

The bridge of heaven.

Alphonse remembered the myth now. It was a creation tale. The story of the birth of Japan.

He had always been rather fond of mythology and was surprised how often a knight's name could reflect one of these ancient legends.

"The floating bridge of heaven from which heaven is connected to the Earth."

Erytheia bowed. It only felt natural after he had spouted lore instead of a proper greeting.

"Excuse me. I should introduce myself properly. My name is Erytheia, page of Cosmos."

"The name of my wonder is from the mythology of the Greeks. Or, at least, that's where it first appeared." He had always loved mythology.

"It is the name of the isle of evening or the island in the west. Erytheia is also the name of one of the nymphs of evening. It is said she was a goddess of immortality."
