Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sighing she lept down from the tree and landed with a soft thud. Her soft leather boots held up to her knee. "Like I said...I don't care if you are there for the child. I also said that I will continue to support you in your mission against Xol, but know this. The very second that the life of my unborn child is in danger I will remove myself and you will be on your own. I will not jepordize my chance as a mother for anything."

Walking up behind Irvine she let one hand rest idly on his shoulder, "Don't worry...the child will grow strong and live." She had decided to use her magics after all. He looked troubled, no matter how hard he tried to hide it. "I only ask one thing of you...as a father to my child. I want you to kill Xol. I never want my child to grow up in a world where a monster like that is free to roam about to rape, kill, and destroy at his lesiure."

"You would be a good father...lousy husband though." Giving Irvine's shoulder a gentle squeeze she let her handf all back to her side. Would she teach the child how to weave BaleFire? Would Irvine teach it how to fight? How long would she have before everyone started to notice the fact she was pregnate and growing larger? Would Irvine protect her just because she had his child? What would happen when she was no longer carring it inside of her? Would he kill her? Would he simply stop protecting her. Cutting her train of thought she looks over towards the stream, "Such a peaceful place...I might build a nice little house here. Just to home the child."

Irvine actually smiled. He chuckled slightly. He turned towards the stream as she spoke. And nodded slightly.

"Yes, it is peaceful..."

For some reason, he felt he couldn't speak. There was really nothing to say. Everything had been said. Now he was just trying to prolong the conversation by bringing up random stuff.

Heswina's attention diverted from the stream to a random part of the forest, "Someone is here...I'll see you around." Winking at Irvine she disapeared in a pillar of light. The only thing to show she was ever there in the first place was the soft smell of roses that drifted from her person. It wasn't noticable when she was standing right beside someone, simply because it was always there, but when she left the smell lingered.

Irvine also felt the presence but did not sense any hostility. Irvine turned and began towards the BC again. Hopefully there'd be somthing there for him to do. He was growing very bored here. Irvine began towards the forest that would eventually lead to the BC dojo.

~ Sai merged out, appearing on a tree branch, She had her knees up to her chest. she then lowered them into indian style, and leaned back on the tree truck. she grabbed a rose out of thin air, and glanced at it. Sh eplucked its petals. The petals would fall and dance in the wind. the rose never lost its petals. she would pluck them, but they didnt show, as they were plucked. the rose remained whole. she silently sobbed, as rose petals danced around her~

Turrets on top of the quads burped out rays of coherrent light as they drilled their way through the forrest. Fires sprang up from the powered up laser cannons, but were quickly snubbed out with another well placed shot. The quads were on orders NOT to shoot anything that may be an intelligent life form, and also to be careful about destroying the planet habitat. Something that made Hot Shot curse his misfortune. He'd rather be back at guard duty...lucky b*****d.

Horrid was in no better mood, he had to follow along side the convoy on flank duty. He watched, boredly, as numbers ran into his vid screen. The worse part of this was that he couldn't even shoot at random objects, the entire convoy was hooked up to a central link up! If one person shot, even at random, the entire convoy would converge on that possition and assist fire. The only thing not hooked up to the link was the laser cannons, but they could be with a simple thought. He looked over to the minimap in the upper right hand side of his HUD and saw that Ice had been chosen to join in the assignment. She was on rear flank detail, on the other side of the quad named Slacker. Great name...and the idiot was carring the captain!

Captain Iris Mcain watched the holovid with great interest. It seemed like there was a large installation somewhere nearby. It was massive! The walls and buildings appeared to be made of a chrome of some sort. Sould he try there first? No, he would definatlly hold course...there was something foreboding about that place. He had seen a lot of friendlies and a lot of hostiles...and that place definatlly sent the vibe of hostile!
