Welcome to Gaia! ::

The blades were moving closer and closer, whirring and humming through the air, one blade pinged against the shield on Yami's back almost pushing her closer to the blades in front of her.

As she yelled 'Current' the blades locked loudly into place, one blade stopping less than an inch from Yami's nose, another thirty seconds and they would've made contact. The words vanished from the air and the blades receded slowly into the walls spinning backwards into their original places. The door opened suddenly, but no other doors opened.

As Yami exited the room, the soft glow on the front of the larger door grew brighter. Hearing Yami's words softly through the speaking tube, Maluc lifted his head. Just before he replied two large handles protruded and extended from the wheel in the center of the room. "Yami? Is that you? What did you do something just happened in the room I'm in."

((The glow now looks like this.))

"I wonder where everyone is?" Celeste said out loud as she arrived to the front door of the prestigious order. Celeste slowly opened the door to find the walls covered in green life. The smells from the flowers tickling her senses. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath letting them calm her nerves. It had been a long time since she had been through these halls and Celeste was beginning to wonder what was happening here. She continued down the halls singing softly to herself, her staff at the ready in case of trouble.

((BIG post! I'll make sure everybody knows which part is for them.))

Hearing that something was upside down, and seeing that the wheel in the center of the room had reacted and now given him the ability to rotate it, Maluc easily clued them together. Bracing himself against one arm of the wheel he began turning the gear in the center of the room using his entire body's strength to move it at only a slow speed. In the center of wheel a picture began to appear, it was a large field of flowers, Maluc didn't understand what it meant but he continued to push the arm of the mechanism, determined to be of some use in these dark halls. As the wheel turned so did the glyph on the door in the hall, as soon as the glyph came full circle there was more than just that simple reaction.

((@Yami smile )
Suddenly as if something had called to it, the magic of the door began to pulse with a deceivingly calming blue, with the color came an overpowering smell of flowers, it was like lying in the most vivid of meadows. Quickly after flowers could be seen adorning the walls, sunlight could be felt upon the skin, a bliss of illusion emanating from the pleasant scent of the door. A soothing breeze began to flow into the door though it never pulled the scent of flowers away, it didn't seem to stop at the magic barrier nor the stone which lay behind it, as if the grand double doors were not more than a window to the wind. Maluc called back to ascertain if anything had changed, but reality was becoming too much of a blur to understand his words.

((@Celeste smile )
The golden halls seemed to react to Celeste's presence, a warm welcoming wind blowing inwards from behind her, reeking of near intoxicating scents of flowers and promises of beauty along with them. The breeze was flowing consistently to the stairway leading deeper into the darkness that was now the Order of Leo.

((@Alundra))
The levers fell back towards the Leo mage they locked in place at a 45 degree angle, the massive double doors beginning to open outward. The doors opened and locked in place with only about a foot of space between the doors, it would seem the staff used to throw the switches was now barring them from opening. The demon was still in full sprint, seeing the door beginning to open he began to ready a fireball in his hand.

((This is what the glyph looks like now.))

Tsunaimei moved her blade to block the attack and was forced to put her other hand on her blade to add support and the power behind the blow forced the holy knight to skid back a few inches. The Virgo Vice Judge attempted to retaliate with an overhead strike while stepping forward aimed to cleave the golden knight vertically in half.

"Flowers? What are you talking about?! It's too dark on this floor for flowers to grow!" Maluc yelled back, his voice only barely being heard by Yami.

Almost the same instant Alundra began casting the water spell the doors shut and the room faded to black. Loud impacts could be heard from the demon on the other side of the door. Yet, it would seem the door would not give way. In the center of the darkness, was an area lit by a spotlight. In the center of that a hole in the ground.

The gold knight pulled his blade back and rose his shield simultaneously, for the most part just replacing his blade with the shield. Then as the blue knight's attack connected with the shield, he thrust his sword out at Tsunaimei's throat. "Your moves are too predictable. Yield or you will die. I predict it happening in less than five moves." He would stop his blade, not ever meaning to connect, but instead meaning to stop within less than an inch of her mortality.
