Welcome to Gaia! ::

A shiver rand down Liah's spine as they started off for the dead forest. She noticed that Damon looked irritated which made her wonder. He snorted, as if try to rid himself of a foul oder. "What's wrong Damon?" she questioned.

'The smell.' He said, disgust clearly showing in his voice. 'It smells as if an army of corpses are decomposing, worse even.' He shook his head. 'It's a smell I won't soon forget.'

Liah seemed confused for a moment, until she noticed a musty oder in the air. She wasn't sure of what it reminded her, but it was somewhat familiar. It mustive been much worse for Damon, since his nose was far more sensitive than hers.
Shivering, she noticed how eerie the forest was getting. Now that she thought about it, there didn't seem to be any animals rustling about in the under brush. This gave her goosebumps, causing the hair on her neck to prickle. "This is unnatural." She whispered to no one in particular.

Tori's mind snapped back to the present time when she heard Ramiel. She jumped to her feet and threw her pack across one shoulder but kept the axe in her hands. It looked pretty strange, the axe being larger then a small halfling herself. Tori silently listened to the group talk about the forest. The smell had reached her nose and was quite awful. She tried her best to keep calm and was succeeding, but her grip on her axe was still pretty tight. What a creepy place

Sintariun's eyes widened as she saw the forest and winced as she felt the pain of the forest. Grasping Damon's fur tighter, the elf nearly shrunk in on herself. Looking at a nearby tree, the elf had a gut-wrenching feeling that this would happen to her forest should no one try and save it.

Tucking herself closer, Sintariun shivered against Damon fearful of her surroundings. Pausing for a moment she ran ahead of the three and put her hand to the trunk of a dead tree only to recoil quickly as if the tree had burned her. Corrupted, that's the core of this place. Something corrupted this forest.

Gia fell back a bit, this time not to make small talk. She had left her low bow behind. The one she had made for her to use, but she had a quiver of arrows that she did not leave on the island. Gia always came with something, whether arrows enhanced with properties for firing or her sword. Gia had to rely on her sword and her magic if combat came up, but Jason she looked at was seen as someone that could use the quiver of rrow to his use. "Will you have use of these?" Gia reach to the back of her waist and would unlatch the large sized quiver of arrows showing it to Jason. She held the unopened quiver for Jason to take hold of, obviously the had been given a little of her own magic a long time ago. Gia just didn't have her bow with her for this journey. The bow had to be re-stringed as the old string was worn and she was told to find a suitable string for her bow would take a very long time. "They've been infused with some of my magic, but they should be of use. There is arrows of water, fire, and wind. All three should be of use, even in this place." Gia wasn't positive on that note, even in her voice. Her hopes was that these creatures burned like any others or had problems against weapons of magic.

Seirei had almost fallen asleep floating in amidst the trees. Being partly undead himself the place didn't affect him much, though it did feel evil which kept him alert. He heard faint talking moving towards him which made him curious. He was currently a cloud but he could still move so he condensed into a thick mist and start floating towards the voices. "Hmm... perhaps I haven't missed them after all," he said, drifting closer to the group, slowly condensing so he could reform. He could see the group of people and he could tell these were the ones he'd been searching for. He finished reforming a little over a hundred feet away and his purple aura was a bit brighter in this gloomy place.

Seirei could see one of the members from the group moving towards him and then saw a hand waving at him. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and started heading for the group, noticing that he was glowing more than usual. "That's strange... must be this place..." he figured, mumbling to himself. He took a moment to piece together his sentence then yelled at the group. "If your the group taking on that quest, sorry I'm late, otherwise forget you even saw me." Seirei looked about the group, observing each of the members of it and was surprised to see so many. After glancing around the group he focussed back on the one closest to him, an elf by the looks of her. If this isn't the right group then I might have to find out why they're traveling together. he thought, approaching the elf at a regular pace, his aura flickering slightly as he walked.

Sintariun glanced at her side to see Damon, Liah, and Asteria. Seeing the figure head towards the party slowly, Sintariun quickly thought of the possibilities of what purpose the person was here. Hearing his shout, the elf flinched slightly, she couldn't understand him but it wasn't smart to yell in a place like this, might attract unwanted guests. Seeing the aura spit occasionally, Sintariun thought, maybe he's as nervous as we are. Putting her hand down and raising it to her chest she said, Sintariun then looked at the man and waited patiently with her amethyst eyes flickering faintly.

Seirei watched another figure and a couple animals join with the first. It seemed that he hadn't been heard but he could hear what the elf said easily. Must be a name he thought, stopping and letting his arm dissipate he formed his name with the mist, which was glowing eerily purple. "This place is amplifying my powers I guess... makes sense really," he muttered, leaving the mist in his name for a little longer then returning it to his arms. Such a strange feeling he thought as he continued moving towards the group. He would be within earshot soon and then he could simply speak.
