Welcome to Gaia! ::

Toiyu wathched Venessa walk away, then sighed and rubbed his cheek.
"Shuttup man." He sat down and winced, rolling his shoulders. "Ouch, shoulders hurt..." He rolled them back and let his wings out, it hurt to hold them in. The glittered in the low light, like silver jewerly.

Toiyu shrugged, sighing.
"Dunno Kenji, maybe it was somewhere in the family, a resessive gene." He ran a hand through his hair, throwing his walls up. "Whatever, it doesn't matter.. they've had me since I was born, I have to be their kid, they even have pictures of me as a baby."

Toiyu looked at him.
"What are you saying? Do you think my parents aren't my parents?"

Tami was sick again, she took out a book and ran through the pages, finding and transferring a seal to her arm. She finally took a deep breath.

Toiyu sighed, running a hand through his hair.
"WEll, they have to be my parents. If they aren't who is?"

Tami would die in about two weeks from the darkness poisoning her, she was getting weaker and weaker. She blamed herself, for losing Toiyu, she hadn't heard of him... she hadn't seen him... and then she lost Elizabeta too... she didn't even know if he was in a ditch somewhere or not, dying. She was too weak to keep the link in between them up. The only thing that made her smile anymore was the teenager that came by to help her with her shop. She moved a heavy pot of black roses and nearly dropped them. She was only 31, but had the strength of an 80 year old.

Oko was chained up as a prisoner, since she was too young and too powerful to be killed. They would take her feathers from her wings and make them in to power pendants. Her blood was sold as pill to cure basically anything.. that is if you had enough money to buy the pills. Her white hair was chopped short to humilate her and they kept her chained to the floor, her back pressed to the solid stone, so she could never feel the sensation of flying again. They also made sure no sunlight, moonlight, or starlight ever reached her so she couldn't get out. She was weak, starving, but immortal because she was a godess. She was eight now, the cuffs had caused permanant scars on her wrists and ankles.

Dana had taught herself how to live in the wild, she could hit a bullseye on a train going straight out and her feet were as tough as rocks. Her hair was amazing long too, and still held it's shine because of the fish she ate. She never wnt near cities and almost never used her wings anymore... though she had mastered her powers. She had full control and was really powerful.. not powerful enough to defend herself against a world of darkness though. She didn't cry herself to sleep anymore atleast, and she sometimes could sneak a peak of Keiro, when he was strong enough to replace the link. She still had that heart ache though, everytime she would pass something that reminded her of Keiro. Though Dana was a legend now, when people saw her running through the forests they had mistaken her for some protector spirit, so now she spent her time protecting the people who traveled through the forests around where she was. She had regained Habina respect too, which was the only thing that made her happy anymore, her only compainion was Habina. Dana lived somewhere in the middle of the forest, she had built her own house even, working plumbing and everything. She was outside munnching on an apple when she heard excited wispers. Dana imediatly climbed up a tree faster than a squirrel and looked down, someone had found her home.

A blonde headed kid with black tips bounced in to the clearing.
"See! I told you I told you! You didn't belive me but I told you I was right!"

Dana bit her lip, she was nineteen now, still somehow beautiful, but no one could recognize her from the pictures anymore.. though she was still a worry wort.

Toiyu sighed.
"I'll be back then." He walked out, heading home. He didn't need a guard though his mom aslways got super worried when she found out he was traveling alone.

Fae was fast asleep, she didn't notice a girl popping her head in through the door.

Sana popped her head in, she was going to try to get Loki as mad as she could. Which first meant breaking out three very important people: Yuro, Keiro, and Oko. The messanger, The kyuubi, and the goddess of the stars. She walked over to Yuro quietly and helped him up on to his feet and broke Fae's hold over him.
"Come on," she wispered, "I'm getting you out of here." She was still in the darkness so Yuro was basically her responisibilty. "I'll get Oko here in a bit too, but come on." She disappeared with him, Rina using her fuinjutsu then placed Oko softly in a sitting position and had Rina make her disappear again. She got Oko, then reappeared by Yuro, laying Oko down, then disappeared again. Fianlly she appeared by Keiro, knocked the person out, and got Keiro to the library too where Rina started to take care of him.

Bryan put his head in his hand, the ran that hand through his hair and looked up at Elizabeta, nodding. He was heartbroken too, Keiro was like his son, he didn't want to see him sentanced.... but he didn't want to leave Keiro alone either.

The blonde frowned.
"Let's look for her then!" He turned around and imediatly spotted Dana's bow. Dana had made it herself out of oak and had painted it, so people knew it when they saw it. That bow alone was worth thousands. The blonde gasped. "Look! Her bow!" He was reaching out to take it when Dana was suddenly there, gripping his wrist.

Dana glared at the boy.
"Don't touch the bow."

Toiyu walked in, spotting Alejandro imeditaly, he could feel Mai still in a room, fast asleep. He walked up to him.
"Dad?"

Oko opened her eyes and weakly looked up at Yuro, since she was curled up. She blinked slowly then gripped Yuro's shirt just the it of sttiniest bit, a little strength entering her.

Rina nodded.
"No problem.. and Keiro? I found Dana not to long ago, maybe yesterday... She's fine." She knew Keiro would be glad, happy, with that. Maybe it would bring his spirits up a bit. She starting putting his muscles back where they should be and got one of those scrolls, there were tons here, replicas of the exact jutsu Ludwig had made.

Bryan sighed and stood up, strething. He walked out and down the steps. He stopped in the foyer, looked around at the empty house, and walked out the door.

Dana blinked, confused. She didn't know about her fame, she wass just a nice girl who took care of helpless people who got picked on.
"Of course it's mean, I'm here aren't I?"

The blonde blinked.
"Do you know how much you mean to all of us?!"

Dana tilted her head, then shook it.
"Uh uh, I don't go in to the villages.. to dangerous."

The blonde's jaw dropped.
"You artwork is famous! Those little paintings you leave with the people you rescue?"

Dana just sat the, dumbfounded.

Toiyu looked serious.
"Where are my baby pictures from the hospital... are you guys even really my parents? I look nothing like you?"

Tami was staring at the reciever, she dropped the phone and put a hand to her heart, closing her eyes. Someone knew where Toiyu was... someone knew. She couldn't wait to tell Elizabeta, how happy he would be...

Rina smiled and sat there for a while, filling him out again. She eventually got his body back to normal. His muscles were back and maybe a bit buffer than they probably were before, his stomach was full, he had fluids and neutrients again, and he had back the little bit of fat he needed to survive.

Oko blinked a little, then finally seemed to get words out.
"M...iss..ed........ y..o..u.." The scars on her wrists were horrible, the same thing with her ankles. "M...y..... wr....ist...s.......hu...rt...."

Dana took the picture and looked at it, a small smile spread accross her face.
"I remember you now... I saved you when those guys robbed you and threw you in that ditch all beat up... got your stuff back too."

The blonde smiled.
"Uh huh!" He frowned a bit. "Miss, what's your name anyways? We call you the golden spirit but no one really knows your real name. We call you all sorts of names though! Mother thinks your name should be something strong like Christina..."

Toiyu kept totally calm.
"No, I didn't figure it out, Kenji did." He shrugged. "But whatever.. I'm going back. See you toomorrow.." He walked back out and ran about half way back before flopping down and curling up, he wouldn't be able to act normal around his so called parents either... and his real parents might be dead... All those years of wondering where he was if they were alive. He ran back to the house and stopped in front of Kenji, his eyes betraying his calm. "Who are they..."

Rina stroked Keiro's hair, sighing.

Oko frowned.
"Ca....nt.....t...al...k...." She reached up weakly and touched his throat, fixing his vocal cords, she smiled a tiny bit, hopeful. "Be....tt...er?"

Dana frowned, then walked in to the house, stached up a cloak, and put it on. Her face set.
"Take me to her grave."
