Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You staying alive is your payment if you truly think that you owe me anything," said Jason as his eyes darted from one way to another. His hood was still up, hiding his upper face in shadow as he continued to look around. "What about your hawk? Is it alright?" Jason looked towards the wolf as it bowed but didn't say anything. It was new to him to see a wolf actually bow towards a human... Though it may not be uncommon for others but none the less it was a bit surprising as well as unnerving. Jason turned his head back forwards as he said, "Your welcome... I think..."

Jason saddened as he heard that. "Almost like a family huh... Must be a nice feeling," said Jason as he shook his head to rid himself of his feelings. His past was starting to come up again and it was pretty much not a good time for it either.

There was an image of him hiding in a brush as he watched a knight fight a dragon, but before he killed the beast, the dragon let out a blinding light from it's mouth. Unfortunately for Jason, his eyes were unprotected as they were looking directly at the flash of light, blinding him. All he then could remember was stumbling around until he felt the scales of the dying dragon...

"Aaah," cried out the blinded boy as he stumbled backwards, falling upon the ground. There was a weakening breath coming from the dragon he had touched as it started to wheeze in Common. "Boy... What are you doing here?" The child was startled at this as he started to get himself to his feet. "Who... Who is there," asked the boy as he fell to his feet again, unable to get his balance without sight. "Your blind? Must be from before... Child, as my race starts to diminish, and as I start to fade, I shall bestow upon you my eyes, so you may see the very fears that we dragon's have lived with for centuries..." With that, the Dragon gave it's last breath and Jason, having crawled to it's nose, received the eyes of the dragon.

Later that day, he returned home but his parents screamed in terror seeing that their child now had the eyes of something unwanted. Casting him out of the house, swords and bows threatening his life, Jason was sent out of the village having been shunned for "making a deal with a devil." Jason managed to take a bow and a few arrows with him but with that, he had grown in his archery abilities and gained strength to carry on... One thing that he had always longed for was a family that was willing to take him in.

Gia's eyes held their glow, but the blast spell had failed which caused her to fly backwards a moment from the wolf she was attacking. She would rush forwards again only this time taking her sword into hand. Her body seemed to move with an unyielding flow ignoring any burning her own body had taken from the flames that didn't miss her from the spell. The fact of the burns meant nothing as she placed one hand over them, but the other was firmly grasped on her sword meant to smash the skull of the wolf attacking her. Streams of her silvery blue hair was flowing wildly for a moment, her magic was going nuts within her body as if to react. Her wings even showed this as she impacted her body to force the wolf back and with all hopes to smash the wolf's skull in away from her. The blade of the sword was targeting the wolf's spine, while the hilt was bent on smashing the wolf's skull.

Gia would again fly backwards away from the wolf though, one arm hanging at her side while the other grasped the hilt of her long sword. Amethyst eyes were glowing while silver wings seemed limp for a moment. Her clothing didn't seemed burned. Right hand had shown obvious signs of being burned, but face showed nothing. The gentle personality had to be hiding while the battle personality had control. "I feel something amiss.....", her voice came out as she was still on edge on whether the wolf she was battling was truly gone or not. If it wasn't she'd fight till it was, she wasn't herself.

Sintariun noticed an undead wolf galloping towards her and for a moment she stood frozen not knowing what she should do. Then a flash of memories passed her mind, her forest, friends, family, if she failed now they'd be done for she couldn't let that happen.E herr MAD rid uay jid da nu falizd! Uay herr mad pi dwi piozd dwod jidz ni!

Sintariun then got on her hands and knees, eye level with the beast as it let out a blood curdling howl. Seeing that the others that had been decapitated still moving she figured out how to beat them without Ramiel's saying so.

Giving out her own roar that began as human changed into the roar of a feline. Sintariun's eye color remained the same but her features changed, her hands became paws, her skin black velvet fur, and her body took on that of a black panther.

Charging forward, the transformed elf took on the wolf head on in a wrestling match. Feeling the claws and teeth trying to get her, Sintariun only felt pressure on her skin due to her thick fur. Clasping her jaws over the wolf's neck, Sintariun bit down separating the two parts. Instantly releasing, the panther shattered the skull then pivoted and broke apart the bones in the wolf's body.

Looking around, the transformed elf looked at Liah and her companions making sure they were alright as well as the others. Sitting almost regally, Sintariun let out a low growl for any more attackers to try their luck.

(I will NOT let you get to my forest! You will not be the beast that gets me!)

"You've already learned I'm the only one to leave these woods in the last three thousand years, didn't you ever wonder why? Few people are stupid enough or brave enough to walk into here, those that are usually get eaten, and there's plenty more where these puppies came from" As Ramiel said this a large undead bear broke through the trees, its eyes glowing green with magic.

In size the beast was as tall as some of the tree's, at least 4 times the size of a normal bear.

"You obviously weren't paying attention kid, fire doesn't work on these pile of bones"Ramiel said as he ran forward, sword strapped across his back one more.

Dashing forward and leaping up Ramiel brought his right fist down on the beasts skull, smashing it on the ground. He whirled around just in time to catch the bears right paw as it made a swipe at him, the body still mobile.

Using the beasts momentum and wait Ramiel tossed the creature over his shoulder, brining them both down onto the ground before he jumped on the creatures ribcage. Its paws came down on him, both claws digging into his back. A slight grunt escapes Ramiel as he placed each hand on one of the bears shoulder blades. From there he began to pull until the beast split in two right down the center, leaving the spine limp and unattached to anything.

Liah watched Sintariun's transformation in awe. Her mouth nearly dropped open at the sight of the beautiful panther. She had no idea that her Elven friend could do that. She was about to call out to her and say something but Ramiel announced the small detail about the parts of the wolves being still able to attack. Damon had her protection under control now, parts of wolves wouldn't be much trouble for him. It was interesting to watch a disembodied claw leap at Damon who just swiped his large paw to shatter it.
Before she forgot, she hurried over to her dagger which was laying on the ground amongst a pile of shattered bone. "Lovely." She said, picking it up and wincing at the stench. Making a mental note to clean it when she could, she put it back in it's sheath and walked back to the tree where Damon was crushing a small leg bone which was wriggling about. "That was close..." Liah said to no one in particular. It was then that she noticed the other two attacking the bear. It was huge, which made her gasp, but they looked like they had it under control. After all..what could she do to help?

Liah looked to Seirei and nodded. "Yeah, thanks for the tip." She said glancing at a decapitated head bouncing around. She even smiled slightly. "My name's Liah, by the way. It's nice to meet you." She gestured around. "Even under these circumstances." Damon smashed the head with one paw easily. "Oh, and this is Damon, and that's Asteria." She pointed to Asteria.
