Welcome to Gaia! ::

She was glad that they made the 500 mark and decided to take a break. She tossed the rocks on the ground before collapsing upon the bed of rock. Fulgar began speaking, she grunted a yes from her corpse likeness at the moment. She heard everyword he said trying to make sense of it in her head. Fire..is ka..we are positive engery, she passed these thoughts in her head. Fulgar continued lecturing, and she knew she had to sit up but her body was exhausted. Fulgar asked is she had any questions, "no...fu-san" She muffled from her exhausted state. She turned her head to the side to see the sun. Kurai saw the jacketless fulgar and zhin but she squinted, her vision was becoming blury. And slowly everything was becoming shaded and it was getting harder for kurai to think moreless keep her eyes open.

Zhin stomped and rose a pillar and sat down on it. He watched Fulgar talk about Jin and energy and nodded. He then looked at Kurai... he noticed she didn't look right. "Kurai, are you alright?" he asked her, bieng very concernd. He jumped then stomped on the ground raising a pillar behind her. "Here sit down," he said walking over.

Taikai sighed, releif pouring out of him. He relaxed a bit, he was right to think that Niima was a true, good person, he would definately not have any problems with traveling with her if she did accompany them. Taikai smiled kindly at niima as she said that the people of the temple were not 'her people.' "In truth, there is no other kind of people. Me and Taizen, these people around you, we are all your people Niima. But what I meant, is that you are a citizen of Air, born with the ability to bend, I would not want to take a shield away from the people of air. And I beleive I've said before, I have no problem with you coming with us, the only compromise to my mission was if you stayed and told someone what you have heard now, it would actually be better on my nerves if you came with us, miss. Niima." Taikai's grin widened, creating more wrinkles on his faces.

Taizen slowed his movements, what were Taikai and Niima talking about? "K'sa! She's talking to him! About coming with me?! Taikai wont appreciate her springing this on him... Or more accurately, me! Damnit! He's not gonna help with anything now!" As taizen thought about this, his movements were becoming slower, and slower, staring at Taikai, and Niima, and when Taikai grinned,Taizen stopped moving altogether, dropping the ring of water, it splashed, bringing Taizen back to his senses, the crowd was silent for a second, before a majority of them bursting out in laughter. Taizen tried to smile embarrasedly, but at the moment he looked kinda angry. Like someone deserved to pay for his embarrasement. The fanclub were giggling, not necessarily a bad thing, but an embarrasing thing all the same. Taizen tried to bring his his performance to a close, he brought his hands up, and the water rose in a veil, he shaped it into a ball, and froze it, he took a deep breath, and opened his arms to the crowd, turning his wrist and blowing. The ball of wmulti-colored water shot outward, froze, and then exploded. Multi-colored snow raining down upon the crowd. Much to the delight of the children. "Thank you for watching my exhibition!" He siad bowing to the crowd. Hiding his facial expression. The fanclub that he was smiling, so they squealed in excitement.

[sorry if I don't post that much or quickly, I have to do extra work all this week to bring my grades up ^^; I'll try get on,but next week (3 days only >D) we have major testing! >( So just wanna appology if I don't respond ^^; )

Thou the stone was hard, she didn't mind since she use to sleep on roofs. She snuggled wrapping herself in her cloathing try to keep herself warm in these high altitudes. She muttered some words softly, "ka..fire...positive.." A small smile came over her face a sense of pride subconcouiously within her. She felt her body be moved and opened her eyes lazily to see her two friends hoist her onto some type of block. She quickly fazed into sleep before hear fulgar She gave a soft 'uh-huh'. Her sore limbs were finally able to mend themselves and her body get used to the altitudes.

Awake.

He woke with a shivering cold surge from the sky above. Mists crept across the soft moistened dirt and dew kissed the plants and raided a giant spider’s web. The spider shivered off the droplets of water off its hairy Cephalothorax, it tickled his funny bone to see the spider shiver like that, letting the water fly in all directions. Fulgar could feel the slight tug of his bladder he looked both ways and found a tree he unzipped his pants and did his business relief coming into his body he arched his head back and sighed deeply and finished up his duty.

Fulgar shook his head, shaking away the remaining dreams that stuck to his hair and body. The skin on his arms budded reaching like clawing arms to the warmth, none to be found though. Fulgar walked back to his companions the sun was getting high, it was getting late he walked a ways to find some wood. The cold bit at his skin peeling his flesh away from his bones. His coat lay on the ground back at the camp. He picked up the wood, it was a strong thick hard wood, he picked up bark and smaller twigs too for kindling.

He walked back to the camp his friends slumber not disturbed. He looked at Zhin in his meditative sleep and Kurai on her bed of rock, he walked over to his coat and put the thick warmth on Kurai’s sleeping body. He would build the fire close to Zhin so that he too would be warm.

He laid down a bed of kindling and set it afire with his bending. He worked the hot coals and created a roaring fire, its warm hands slowly massaging his arms and legs into warmth.

Fulgar sat down next to Zhin in a deep meditative position he had his eyes opened to see the world as it was he stared into the flame breathing in the sweet smelling of the sapling wood he had collected the fire danced around his fragile eggshell mind. He let out a small giggle to what he was seeing. The fire moved about and formed itself into exact likenesses of his friends. He could see them all Toku, Jonah, Zhin, Kurai, Xiao, all of them made of burning fire. They collapsed one by one onto each other into a pile of coals, ghosts crowded around Fulgar all of them built of fire brightly shining in front of him. He was in a necropolis, this was his hell, and ironically fire was his hell. His friends all dieing by fire horrified he closed his eyes. Even with lids locked closed he could see the horrible images of it all, in fact the images were intensified. He still sat in a deep meditative position his eyes closed. He tried to pry open his eyes but they stayed locked. He could see an image wreathed in shadow behind the firey Hellbound likenesses of his friends a trench coat fluttered at his feet his eyes and mouth were on fire his eyes had no pupils he swung a great scythe down upon Fulgar’s body.



Fulgar woke with a shock. His body was jolted awake he swung his legs off the rock that he lay on. He looked at his friends Kurai lay there without his jacket on her and Zhin was in his meditation. Fulgar picked up his jacket and lay it on Kurai, he looked down in front of Zhin, a fire roared.

Fulgar walked back over to his stone resting place sat down burying his face in his hands tears swam down his face.

(ow. now i feel self conscience about my stinky jacket. I seriously didnt see that coming specially after the funky dream thing Fulgar had.)

Fulgar heard the commotion and quickly wiped his eyes. He saw Kurai holding her nose in disgust and pointing at his jacket she hadnt noticed he was watching yet when she did she quickly put her hands down. "It doesnt smell that bad, you know." Fulgar walked over and picked up the jacket he brought it to his nose and took a long deep breath his nostrils burned when the rank smell hit him one eye squinted the other flew open, it was disgusting. "maybe it is that bad..." Fulgar said mainly to himself wondering how he'd let his jacket get so disgusting. "I'm gonna have to wash that when we get to the next river."

Kurai picked up her fans and began practising. Fulgar watched as she was practicing, it was rather odd she still moved gracefully but it looked liek the fans we a bit odd, she just had to get used to them Fulgar thought. She had started off a little oddly but then she moved into some big fire dance which was pretty cool in Fulgar's book.

She ended snapping the fans together. Fulgar clapped three times. "I wasnt going to do this until later in your training, but I think youre ready. Just a second, Zhin will want to see this." Fulgar walked over to Zhin and started to rouse him from sleep. With that done Fulgar walked six paces in front of Kurai. He abandoned his jacket once more. He faced Kurai staring into her eyes and got into his stance. His legs were shoulder width apart his right hand eye level by his face and his left was in front of his face his fists were clenched. He was going to spar her, the final piece of her training, she had excelled in everything else, if she could land one solid hit on Fulgar who was so close to mastering the art then she would be around Fulgar's skill level she would still need some refining and practice but skill and knowledge wise they would just about be square.

Kurai laughed at Fulgar reaction to the smell. Her facial expression turned to shock when he asked her to hit him. Kurai was bewildered by this request, "Hit you? But you haven't attacked me or harmed me!" She opened her arms before placing a hand on her forehead. She began going into thought trying to make sense of this in her mind. Kurai couldn't harm someone who did no harm to her more or less her friend. She raised her head fromt the shadows of her standing position, "I can't Fulgar." Kurai's face was serious, her tone, even the way she talked she didn't bother to call him by the nick name she gave him. "It doesn't make sense I can't hit you...I mean..I just can't" She took a heavy sigh. "Even if it is to spar I don't know how I would handle myself with fire while Im fighting, I would regret anything if I was to harm my first friend. Understand Fulgar you haven't harmed or attacked me, my grandfather said 'Do not kill the snake, just for being a snake.' It sounds weird I know." She gave a soft laugh. "But thats how I was raised" She made eye contact, making sure he didn't try to pull a fast one just for fun.
