Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aria finally fell asleep, a small smile on her lips as she whispered, "Night night mommy..."

*Yawning softly of boredom KB's eyes opened.He looked around the room with a shrug.Nothing of interest showed itself.The child would be taken at a later date. 1/5 of his quest was alreayd completed.It'd all be downhill from there.Taking each small mission as it came.Shrugging he left the Dojo,wandering deep into the night to listen to his Master's plans.*

A cold metallic spire seems to pierce the fabric of space-time as the general vicinity seems to warp slightly. Its no more than twenty yards from the dojo itself, but a slight distortion can even be felt and seen there. This was no form of teleportation, nay, something on a much grander scale. The spire had pierced directly into this plane from another.

The spire stood silent for a moment before needles darted out from all sides as if the inside had been skewered, like some fake magic trick gone horribly wrong. The tips of the protruding needles began to drip blood as the spire began to fall in a spiraling pattern. Slowly as it fell it seemed to come apart into concave triangular sheets that slid into the ground and disappeared in their entirety.

Where the spire had stood there was now only a man, his skin pale and covered in puncture wounds that quickly closed as he paused for a moment. His hair was spiked off to the left and each ankle had a nearly destroyed metal band that seemed to have been ripped apart by several thousands of punctures. The chain that had linked these shackles had been broken and left behind. A slight breeze rose around him, blowing the stench of death thrugh the area as his rather loose skyblue shirt began to ruffle slightly in the wind he had created from the small tears that were healing in the very fabric of this plane. The locket he wore was bound shut and melted so that without melting it again, opening it would be nigh impossible.

The man slowly looked up and surveyed his surroundings, "I'm back here again....the spires....I can almost command them. They are taking me to places I have been already. This is in particular one place I'd not want to be, not until the stench of life can be cleansed from it that is." He sniffed at the air but pulled back and covered his nose, "HORRIBLE LIVING BEINGS! I can't stand it! This stench! I'll have to return another day....must first master the Spires...."

With a scream of metal upon metal the metal triangular sheets rose again, even though he did not stand in the same place, and encapsulated him within them. The process was repeated similarly to before, but this time when the triangular sheets fell, he would be gone.

9 walked into the dojo and looked around. She was tired after traviling throw the Hall of Doors to get back. She took a seat and smiled as she leaned back inteh chair.

"Hello Kitsune, how are you today. It's been a while."

*Axl continues snoring like a jackhammer, his bandana covering his eyes*
