Here in the back room of the store there is lots of boxes to hide in and out of. There is a few shelves in the back as well as cupboards filled with art supplies, old toys and other nicknacks. You can also find old photos and a misterious doorway that will lead to three or four different locations:
The Gardens:
This is the gardens of the old wizard. It is carefully taken care of by Makea who spends most of her time on one of the swings as she sews new porropets. There is a playset as well as a small apple orchard to the south and a rose garden to the north. A patch of wild undergrowth and blackbreey bushes are to the east. A door stands in the middle of nowhere and leads back to the shop.
The Tower: This is the wizard's tower and where Makea now lives. You can find old winding stairs as well as other rooms full of odd globes and bottles. A treasure room is said to be located here but it has not been found yet. Right at the top of the tower is the wizards old bedroom and lab which has been converted into a living quarters by Makea.
The Locked area:
No one knows about this area yet, but some speculate it was the room of the wizard's true love. No one has been able to open this door yet.

Aeris was walking around the garden of course. If there was any place in the porro world she loved; the garden was it. She would come always wishing she could make her own garden. In the recent months, it became more and more that not too many porros spent time in the garden; or only at the playground. The flowered area became a sanctuary for her. A place where she sat when she felt lonely, sad, or just plain bored. She took a seat, where she would talk and sing to the pretty flowers.

Sephiroth was walking around the garden as well, studying everything with a severe judgemental look. It has been many a month since he last ventured into the world, but he still desires to take over it. Keeping a firm grip on his blade, he will not let anyone get in his way.

The wafting afternoon then had a sudden change in the feel of the environment. Before she could even see him, she could feel him. It wasn't in a way that she knew who it was; but she knew someone was there. She decided it might be fun to lay backwards into the tall grassy area with flowers all around her and hiding her figure and face. She closed her eyes; and she had a memory of being in a medical facility with a mean doctor. But, sometimes seeing an older boy who had always procured massive curiosity from her. Had she actually met him back then? She couldn't remember anymore. In a faint and vague memory, she could feel like he must have defended her once. But, even then, they were both just kids really. She had managed to make her way to a place that was free of medical facilities like that and seedy greasy haired malicious doctors like the one she had been a prisoner to for so long. Perhaps that was why she loved the earth and the gardens so much. It was so far away from those cold steel rooms, tables, plugs, and tubes. She wasn't being poked and prodded against her will. Of course, being in a safe place like this didn't bring her mother back. Still, it was peace; and what more could one want.

Not recognizing who the individual was, Sephiroth ran over to her, his blade now at the back of her neck. Waiting for her respone, he could not tell if this porro was friend or foe. Hopefully his test in finding out will prove one or the other for there is still a great pain in his head that is telling him that this individual is familiar. He does not know when, but he does seem to remember some kind of blurry memory.

The touch of the blade of steel immediately made her eyes fly open with a morbid feeling of surprise and rimmed with fear. "Whaa..." she started and her eyes raced around till she found a tall porro towering over her. "What'd I do???" Her eyes looked side to side feeling a little unsure if whether she should try to roll away. She had been apprehended by men in blue and black suits all her life.. but they usually either used bully sticks or cow prodders. It wasn't the typical situation to find herself at the end of a long sword. "It wasn't me.. I swear. I have been out here in the garden the whole time!!" *snicker* Yeah. Her rambling was slightly random and not all together making sense; but then again, she had no idea what was going on.Hopefully it would buy her sometime. Some time to get away from the end of that blade for starters.

Judging her looks, he sheathed his blade. Then, he came to realize that maybe this one was not worth it to kill. Perhaps, maybe this one might be interesting entertainment to keep alive, for now at least. Then, he began to look into her eyes for a moment "What is your name?" To him, knowing who he had to deal with was decent information enough.

Having a major rush of relief, she quickly rolled over and sprung up from the ground. She looked up at him hoping to guage his eyes; but found them a bit on the cloudy side. It made them hard to read. This put her off a little; she liked being able to guage people through their eyes. His seemed guarded. She wondered why he was so guarded. She leaned forward with a friendly grin. "My name is Aeris... but people I'm good friends with sometimes just call me Ris." It was starting to nag at her mind that she couldn't read his eyes. Why was that? In her memory, she hadn't found hardly many people this happened. With the average person or porro, she could read their eyes like a movie poster. And, yet, she felt like this strange but false feeling of dejavu. It was like looking at someone she had looked at before. For some reason, her memories wouldn't let her into that place where the reason for that feeling was.

Feeling somewhat perplexed, he took one step back, still ready to do anything in case she tries any offense. "My name is Sephiroth. What are you doing here?" Still keeping a sharp eye on her for in battle one should never let go of the gaze of their opponent. Still, there still lingered that something that he cannot let go. Maybe she can clarify what it is.

She gave this confused look like he had just garbled the most absurd thing she ever heard in her life. "What do you mean 'what am i doing here'? I could ask you the same thing." She started to posture standing up as tall as she could feigning being offended. "It so happens that I come here everyday. I live around here now; and I like the gardens. I used to have my own garden before I came here; and I miss it very much. I need the flowers; and they need me." She stuck a tongue out at him, crossed her arms and turned her head away slitting her eyes to stare at a nice daffodil that seemed to be blooming nicely. Of course, she wasn't mad or offended, but she did want to have some fun with him. He sure seemed to be wound far too tight. That kind of stiffness wasn't good for anyone she thought.

He had a confused face on for a second and rushed toward her with his blade. "Is that a challenge!?" He wasn't the type to just talk his way out of anything because he lets his blade do all the negotiating. His warrior ways were the judge, the jury, and the executioner. However, he always favored a challenge down to the last swing. "Striking a female may be interesting" he thought.

She had anticipated this and had been quietly praying to herself. Before his blade could hit her again, a flash and then a wall came up and sealed her in. It was a wall impenetrable by magic or physical attack. She looked over at him. "Why did you do that to me?" She fell on her knees and covered her face starting to cry. "You're... you're so mean... I didn't even do anything to you." Of course, being the kind of person she was anyways. She wouldn't harbor hard feelings for long; but she had only been playing around with him. She wasn't used to being attacked outside of the old Shin-Ra labs. However, she was much older now and had some battle experience with her. She had ways to defend herself if need be. Of course, there were days when she had boys around who would defend her; and it wasn't necessary. To be honest, she really did prefer it that way. She was dainty as a female; and she always preferred not to have to fight if it wasn't completely necessary. Then, in a moment of impulse, she flung herself forward clutching onto his leg. She leaned her head inward onto his leg. "Why are you trying to hurt me? I didn't do anything bad; I promise."Her long hair fell over her shoulder.

His head began to hurt and he dropped his sword as he could recognize the cry from somewhere in the past. The pain was too much to bare as he knelt down on the ground, still looking at her. "Why do I feel that I know you from somewhere before?" Now raising his voice due to the incredible pain in his head. "Why can't I get you out of my mind!!" Still struggling to maintain conciousness, he grabs his sword to use it to keep him from falling onto the ground while he was pounding his fist onto the ground ever so violently.

~He knows me? From where?~ But, the attempts to retreive such memories swept her to the moment of thought she was in before she woke on the ground just as he had found her. Had his presence brought back those memories? Were they ones that had been shut off from her mind? What was so bad that she couldn't remember? But, this time, his eyes showed something. Not necessarily a feeling; but it did convey this feeling of dejavu. She put her paws on the sides of his face and stretched the skin gently back a little to see it without the years of stress and fighting etched on it. Then, she let go and reached around to pull his hair up behind his head. Yeah. Wow... how did she know this? It must have been when she was young. She let his hair go and turned around with her back to him. "I'm sorry; but I don't know. I wish I could tell you; but all I know is it was from when I was little. And, I can no longer remember those years. Something traumatic happened to me then.. and it sealed away my memories." This was said with a voice mingled in sadness and regret. She wished she could see those memories, even if they held a frightening memory. She just wanted to know how he knew her.

Sepiroth got up and walked towards her. He sheathed his blade once more as he stood by her, doing nothing more than just standing. His head looked towards the sky as he gathered his thoughts. "I know you from somewhere, but I know not where. Perhaps, maybe walking together may help both of us gather our thoughts because it will eliminate the pain that is still somewhat in my head now. For some reason, I am compelled not to kill you. Perhaps there was something that went on between us in the past." As he was speaking, he also was trying to grab the air for some reason.
