Welcome to Gaia! ::

Enzeru slowly made her way to the Inn, her body trembling with pain. She gripped her arms with enough force to brake them to keep from hitting anything she pasted. When she finally made it to the Inn, she quickly gave the woman at the front her info and turned without a word to go to her room as soon as she was given her key before the woman had a chance to say anything. Flinging the door closed with a loud slam that probably shook the whole building, she went straight to the bed and broke down crying. She was paying so little attention to what was around her to even realize that she wasn't the only one in the room.

Katara listened as she ate. Her hunger craved more then she was given, but she didn't mind. She was finally talking about marriage with Derak. she thought over his words. It clicked when he said 'family', but she would ignore it and keep talking. "Family. I've always wanted to live away from the village. Near the waterfall? There. Then, I wouldn't have to deal with the people who don't understand my love for fire. Those hypocrites." She sighed. "Where my husband could plant the food, and our children had the world to care for and protect. It was so peaceful there. I would never let my family harm the land. We would only borrow enough land to feed the family and sell for money. Sooner or later, the land would be returned to the earth and all her glory." She said softly.

Gill looked away from the people he recognized, Katara and Derke, to look at KianaHis eyes grew bigger and his mouth smaller, a look of innocence "Why yes mom, I had a terrible dream and then I throwded up a bit!" he said with a straight face, nodding, but then his face broke into a smile and he laughed a little to show her that he was joking.

Enzeru was startled by the voice, not knowing that anyone was with her. Choking back the rest of her tears and wiping the ones from her face, she turned to see that it was Quin. "I'm not the same girl that I used to be. I have lived a life of near silence since that day. Talking about it only seemed to make things worse."

Gill smiled. "I guess so." he looked at er. "well, you know, its the thought that counts." he joked when she couldnt find whatever she was looking for "Im sure I would've loved it"

She shook her head in disapointment. Obviously, no one here even knew whet truely happened. "Well, let's see. To start, I wasn't killed by a stranger, but by one of the villagers that was a friend of my families. None of us knew what he was planning, we all thought it was just him coming over for a visit." Enzeru closed her eyes, holding back the a new wave of tears. "But we were wrong. I heard him tell my dad that he wanted something, but I couldn't tell what it was. After a while they started yelling at each other. I didn't know what was going on, and I never got involved in my parents' problems, so I just stayed outside playing. The next thing I know, I hear my mother scream and the sound of something hitting the floor. I ran inside to see what had happened, and that's when he...." For a while, she couldn't bring herself to remeber what happened. She didn't want to, but she knew she had to. "...he killed my mother in front of me. I knew I should have ran out of that house, but I couldn't move. I couldn't even bring myself to scream. He was about to leave until he noticed me, a witness to his crime, so he took the dagger that he used on my parents and started coming at me. By that time, I was finally able to move, but it was too late by then. No sooner had I turned around, he plunged the dagger into my back." She paused for a moment as the scar on her pack started to throb with pain from the memory. After taking a few deep breaths to calm the pain, she continued. "He left afterwards without bothering to clean up the scene or even remove his dagger from my back. He didn't even realize that I was still alive. I was in so much pain that I couldn't move or make a sound, which made getting help impossible. For three days I layed on the floor bleeding and dying slowly. By that time I was just waiting for the sweet embrace of death to come and take me, but a ray of light shone on that dark moment. An old man, a stranger at the time, came knocking on the door. In any other circumstane I would have found it rude that he entered without permission, but at the time I was glad that someone finally found me. He went to both my parents, checking for any sign of life, but found that they were already dead. After he checked them, he came over to me, and his smile told me that he was happy to see that I was still alive. He took the dagger out of my back and somehow healed my injury, then he took me out of the village and to the kingdom without telling anyone what happened. I always wondered why he didn't tell the athorities, but I figured that it was for my own protection. From that day on, he was the only person I trusted." As she finished the story, she closed her eyes, happy that it was finally over. She had been looking out her window the whole time that she was talking and now turned to look at Quin again. Her eyes widened when she saw the stone that he had asked about. "That stone, it's a...." rage filled her body again. "THAT'S A DRAGON SPIRIT ORB!!!" Her voice was filled with a fury that even scared her. She took a deep breatha nd gave herself a second to calm down then spoke again. "You didn't 'find' that orb did you? You stole it from the Old Dragoon." She took another look at the stone, noticing this time that it was gowing. "But it looks as if that isn't going to be too much of a problem. It's chosen you as its owner, which means that you are the lightning dragoon. I just can't believe you stole it."

((Sorry about the length....I didn't realize that it was going to be this long.))

"I'm sorry. I never knew." He had a look of disappointment on his face. "I wish I had for I would have tried to help you out."

Her sudden explosion of anger surprised him. "Dragoon? What is that?" He conveniently didn't agree or disagree with him stealing the item, for there was no reason to deny it, nor should he announce it either.
