Welcome to Gaia! ::

As you wander around the Pagoda grounds, you come across the most wonderous garden you've ever seen before. There are flowers of all kinds here. The raindow of color and the numerous scent overwhelm your senses. Much like the pagoda itself, the garden is vast and beautiful. In the center of the garden lies a walkway where all may gather, sit or even merely walk through the gorgeous flowers. along side the flowers stand four statues. One is of a majestic dragon standing tall and proud. The second is of a woman whose face holds a beauty that is almost sureal. The third statue has three people, one is a man who does not smile yet his eyes hold compassion, the other is a woman who is smiling and laughing while she plays with the final figure of small laughing boy who seems to be fully enjoying the company of the others. One look at this statue and the image is made clear, these people are siblings; the two elders watching over their young brother. And lastly, the final statue is of man standing tall and proud along side his companions.

Zantiga strolled up behind Cole, her usual calm smirk on her face. She looked from him to the statue and back again. Zan was never very sensitive to a quiet moment, not out of disrespect. Simply becasue she was not so skilled at telling when it was one of those moments.

"What'cha doin?" She walked around the statue, examining it from all angles. "Who is she? Does she talk back to you?" Zanti reached forward to touch the statue but decided against it. "Or am I allowed to know?" She looked up at Cole with almost amused but questioning eyes.

Zanti nodded to show she understood. She wasnt sure wuite what to say about that, so she just said the first thing that came to mind. "And here I was just thinkin you liked to talk to statues. I take it these are all related to you?"

As she spoke she wandered around the statues, looking each over. Her bushy tail swung almost excitedly behind her, as it always did when she was fascinated by something. "Tell me, if oyu dont mind me asking," She said, not wanting to pry too deep, but she couldnt help it. "Your father was a demon, right? Do you think its possible he couldve lived around sepi and I? I mean...where we come from theres all sorts of demon."

((Sorry I have to go for a bit. Ill be back later.))

Zanti nodded and attempted to reply before Cole vanished. "Ok..I..." Was as far as she got. After staring after him for a second she grumbled to herself. "I cant even find Sepi...or sake..." Shuffling her feet a bit to knock around some rocks, Zan left the garden in search of Dyanel.

Emberis appeared in the lovely garden and began to walk and admire the flowers. He continued his walk until he came upon the area that held the statues. Being drawn to the statue if Katha, Cole and himself, Emberis gazed up at it, getting a feeling of nostalgia...

Turning to the woman who had captured his demonic heart ((sounds rather odd)) Emerbis smiled at Nicoletta and returned her kiss...

"How are you Lady Nicoletta?"

Emerbis held Nicoletta close and smiled down at her...

"I'm glad to hear that Nicoletta..."

Even though he was looking at Nicoletta, Emberis' eye were drawn back to the statue of he and his siblings...

"Actually, that was one of the rare moments in Cole's childhood that Katha and I were able to spend some quality time with him without our father trying to manipulate all of us."

He told her, still looking at the statue... Nicoletta noticed a slight bit of anger enter Emerbis' voice when he mentioned his father.
