Welcome to Gaia! ::

I lazily turned my head to the side to look at her. "Hmm? Did you say something Takara", I asked. I then smiled and stopped floating on my back and sank back into the water treading. "Sorry.....didn't mean to daze off like that...", I looked up at the sky, "we should be getting to the dragon lands for the party, it should be as much fun as swimming", I siad my eyes twinkled. "We just have to go get Kang...", I said more to myself than to her and sighed.

I opened my mouth to say something but decided against it, I knew Raven laid here and it still hurt her, and leaving here would mean leaving him. I loked down at the water. I put my hand lightly on her shoulder and smiled, "Come on, if we stay in here much longer, we'll look like a couple of prunes", I said laughing.

*parth soon relized he didn't have a shirt so he rushed in his bag to pull out another shirt and put it on*
so are we ready yet?

"Yes, I know that there's a party tonight Runa, but to tell you the truth I really dont feel like celebrating much." I said and then swam towards the edge of the lake to get out of the water.

"Yes, Parth I do believe we are, Runa is going to teleport Kang and herself and I will be coming with you, if that is ok?" I said and looked back at Runa.

I smiled and nodded, "thats fine with me...I'll see you there, bye Parth, takara", I said and turned and went back to camp. I packed up my bag and made sure there was nothing left and the fire had been completely put out.

"Urg...Arg...Ji...Ja..." As I tossed in my unconscious state, my mind began to flash. Images and all began to run through me. Suddenly, I vanished ((mentally)) to another state.

When I looked around, I saw nothing, but darkness. All was engulfed in shadows and clouds of a demonic flow. Then, in a sudden collection of the darkness, a man stepped forth from the shadows. It was Jian. Still the same when I last viewed him.

"Kang...you cannot die...Not just yet...Get up...Rise, once more..." His voice calling to me; it's precense dark and unearthly. "You cannot...WILL NOT die here...For as long as I am a part of you, Kang...you will live on..."

"Leave me be...You have no right to inhabit my body, as well as my soul. Release me, now!!"

"Well, well, well...Someone's got a backbone, finally...Oh, wait. I'm wrong. I forgot how much of a cocky a**hole you were as a kid. How arrogant you were...Or rather, you are...And it pisses me off, too..." Suddenly, Jian rushed up to me and reached his hand directly into my chest, grabbing hold of my soul.

As he grasped my soul firmly in his hand, I gasped heavily. I felt the demonic energy flow directly into me; pulsating rampidly.

His voice was now harsh and brask. "You listen here, Kang...Your body will soon be mine...A lot quicker than you actually think...In all honesty, I could take over right now! But I won't...I'm giving you a choice...A choice..."

"An...wha...would that...be...!?" My voice straining as he began to literally choke my soul.

"Find me a new host...A new body to live in...Male, female...It matters not! I want to be alive once more!! And then I shall find a suitable body for my own...Do we have a deal...!?"

"F**k...you!!" My breathes were short and spaztic as he twisted my soul around; almost destroying my being. "I'll...never be...your lapdog...!"

"Well, then...Sorry to hear that..."

Then, without any warning, Jian begna to charge his own demonic energy as he still held onto my soul. As his body illuminated a dark aura, I felt as if I was falling apart. The shadows began to overflow my mind. A cloudy sensation consumed me all.

That's when I realized it; Jian was removing my soul from my body. Or at least as the primary soul. I instantly tried to resist his powers, but I stood no chance.

"Ragh...!! Agh...!! AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" As the screams of agony shot from my mouth, the plain of existance was then swallowed into complete darkness. All could not be seen.

((Back in the material world...))

As my soul screamed, my eyes opened, and my body leaped from leaning against a tree. Looking around; checking for any injures--a laughter began to sweep over. A darkness was indeed there.

Looking up towards all others, a voice silently strung through the air. "Finally...Freedom..."
