Welcome to Gaia! ::

Moriah:
"Hey, now!" Mashai'i says, pinching your cheeks. "Be nice!"

Manra:
"Yeah, I suppose so..." Rai'o replies.

Atlanta:
You fly two miles ahead and find nothing absolutely nothing except green, open land. Not an animal to speak of, not even a passing bird.

Eleutherius:
It's hard light; Shitai'ei designed it to replicate a bear's actual mass and weight.



Everyone:
After regrouping and devouring that giant fish, you set out to find the Illusory in wherever they may be hiding. In total you cover four and a half ground miles (this does not count going up and down the mountains), consisting of: two and a half miles of flatland, one swamp, three mountains, two rivers, and two forests. Everyone has issues getting through the forest clean except for Atlanta, Fi'hai, Jima'ei, and Kirino (who was carried by Jima'ei as he flew alongside Atlanta and Fi'hai). Several of you get tired on the way up each mountain (Moriah and Mashai'i made it to the top before even the fliers, despite the fact that the fliers not only had it easier, but also had a head start; how they did this, only they know, and they aren't telling). When crossing the rivers, Silla and Hahai'i dance circles around the others, showing off their water abilities. This takes you well over four hours. By the time you arrive in the last stretch of flatland, having come from a forest, you can see the remains of a castle. This castle, according to the old legends, this used to the gods' castle prior to the Night Eternal. The legends say that the people, furious at the gods for abandoning them, tore down the castle to spite their weak gods, thus ending the age of religion. The Spirits look upon it hopefully. You can tell from their looks at this is where the Illusory are. Where they forged the Original Rings 800 years ago. It's just a quarter mile away; you're almost there!

Already, the bird in me is scoping out good places to perch on that castle. I mentally slap myself. I seriously need to stop doing that.

I cast the stink eye at Fi'hai. Are you implying that I'm obselete right now?

"You're absolutely right." I say in response to Moriah. "No matter what happens, we'll still have strength in numbers. My only concern is if we can all really work together at this rate... perhaps we need a battle plan just in case."

Atlanta:
I never said that, Fi'hai replies cheekily.

Moriah:
"Theoretically, we shouldn't be fighting anything," Mashai'i says. "No one should be able to get into Lasai'ei without an Original Ring."

"Well, can't hurt to keep an eye out, at least..." I say.

Atlanta:
"There are fish so that you can survive the journey to the castle," Masahi'i replies. "But it makes it harder because food is not as readily available."

Moriah:
"Very true," Mashai'i says.

Everyone:
You make it to the castle within a few minutes.
I need to know who's active and who I need to bot for this. You have two days (today [May 30] and tomorrow [May 31]) to post saying that you're active. If you do not, you will be assumed inactive and will be botted until such a time as I am able to replace you for inactivity. If you think this unfair, we'll talk about it.

"Well, I'm a warrior, so the only way I can go is forward! Wow, sorry, that was so stereotypical and cheesy..." I say as I walk toward the castle. "So, Mashai'i, anyone ever cheat by growin plants?"
