Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bridgette hummed softly to herself as she waited and watched. She was really curious about all of this and smiled at those who came close enough. She looked bald at Tambre and tilted her head a bit. "How was the hike for you?" She played with her jacket as she waited to see what would happen. She didn't know where they were going and where they needed to go. She wondered if Tambre might have an idea of where to go. She aighed and chewed on her lip more.

"Naosu has been lucky and not gotten hurt." She said, full of sympathy for her 'barrier buddy'. "She hopes you can get off of that soon so it can be tended." She thought she might be able to do it herself, but she was still in school after all and was a bit nervous of treating someone when she might get it wrong. Hopefully Claire could help when they'd found somewhere to finally rest.

Being partnered up with someone much younger than them would have bothered Amihan had she not been the flight instructor. And an older sister. And a mum. She was rather glad that the Nightmare she'd been partnered up with had wings, at least it meant they would have more than one method of travel.

"Oh yes~ let's go!" she cheered, letting the younger Nightmare take the lead. "I hope you're not too disappointed being matched up to an oldie like me~"

“Oh no, not at all. Its always fun to go exploring with people that want to, no matter how old they are… and trust me you aren’t that old Professor Amihan” Samhain smiled before taking the lead again. Third time was always a charm right? Or at least Samhain had heard that before. He had a feeling this time was going to be different.

Sure enough this time when they walked through the forest there was a sudden feeling, like everything that was pushing them back gave up and they were suddenly shrouded in fog. He reached down in his bag to pull out his flashlight and placed his mask back in the bag so that he could see better. “well this is new….” Samhain commented. He was suddenly really glad for the rope.

Nashira knew that they hadn't really been trying all that long, but it seemed like it has been forever since they started trying to walk into the forest and break through this mysterious barrier. She had been startled when she saw several of her new friends vanish into the trees, and hadn't been sent back yet. She had seen others vanish as well. They must have broken through. So as they kept walking, attempting to break into the deeper forest (she assumed) it came as a shock when it suddenly felt like a weight had been lifted and the world went black. "It... is so dark." She clutched the light a little tighter to her before holding it out and shining it around. This was not the first time she'd been scared on this trip, but... this might have been the most scared she'd been. She wanted to reach out and grab her partner's hand for support, but didn't know if that would be ok.

Aurora wondered as she was tied to the fey she didn't know if this forest was like a house of mirrors if perhaps you kept to one direction you could find your way through the forest. She shrugged, and then smiled at her partner and said. "Hi I'm Aurora."

Harley wasn't prepared for reaching the forest so soon after just striking up a conversation. "I-I hope to see you around!" She waved meekly before hueading over to their guide. Once breifed, the hybrid nodded and was ready to tackle this challenge.

Until she realized that she would have a partner. And they'd be tied together at the hip. "Oh... Hello..." She wrung her hands as her and the other were being tied together. She wasn't ready for close contact with a stranger but she tired her best to push through the awkwardness. Her ears were pressed close against her head as she spoke. "I'm Harley. I-it's nice to meet you..." Her bangs fully covered the glow of her golden eyes, but the pink clip remained in her hair.

"Well, um.... Let's head this way?" She had no clue where she was going and her flush face coupled with the heaviness of the presence of the forest. She did her best not to grab into the other as the fog crept in and they made their way through. But it soon seemed as if everything was fine again. "Did... Did we make it out?"
