Welcome to Gaia! ::

A small explosion suddenly lit up the center of the main island. Within the smoke, a figure moved forward to reveal it was Draco. His demonically maroon eyes scanned the island from behind the red-tinted shades that rested upon his nose. He smiled as he took in a deep breath, then let it out.

"I wonder where everyone is?"

He spoke aloud to himself as he spun on his heel and began to pace slowly in a random direction.

Draco's ears had picked up on the sound of someone calling his name, as well as the voice behind that call. He smiled and leaped backwards from where he stood near the center of the main island. He spun slowly in the air as he continued to arc, clearing the edge of the island as his feet pointed to the sky, his eyes looked down upon the beach below, where he saw Mani laying in the sand.

His body was still moving, away from the beach which was now his destination. Flames spit fourth from his back, taking on the shape of wings. They flapped twice, once to stop his current motion, and again to give him a boost towards the beach. They then disappeared and he fell ever so quicker towards the sand. Before impact, he flipped back over, crashing hard into the beach feet first, the landing had created a small crater in about a five foot radius centered upon Draco. He stood up, still smiling and looked to Manikarnik.

"Heya, Mani! How've ya been?"

Draco walks out from the crater me made, sitting down in front of Mani as he gets withing 7 feet of her. His arms fall behind him as he leans back upon them, his hands dig into the sand.

"I'm doing great. I was just on my way to see Master Spike and I thought I'd stop by the island here to see how everyone was, but they all seem to be MIA..."

Draco's ears certainly did pick up on the sound inside the chest. He smiled as he moved beside Mani.

"Mani...I never got you anything. Whats is the ocassion for this gift?"

Draco slumped back down into the sand and cocked his head to the side, his eyes wide in confusion behind the red tinted glass of his sunglasses. He sat leaning forward with his legs forming a circle for his hands to drop into.

"Mani...What is Christmas?"

The moon beings to darken, plummeting the already dark area into complete darkness. Suddenly, the sky beings to emit large flashes of lightning, thunder booming with each and every flash. As the wind beings to pick up a funnel cloud beings to form, as it touches the ground several bolts of lighting strike the base of it. Suddenly the moon emits light upon the area once again and the storm that began to form vanished as fast as it arrived. But where the lighting hit and the tornado began, there was a large crater, in the center stood Tetsuya(My name my have changed *Glares at friend* but I'm keeping the name Tetsuya), his body smoking but remained untouched by the powerful bolt of electricity. He slowly stepped forward, stepping out of the crated he took in his surroundings.

"Hm, looks like no one is here, I guess I'll make myself at home."

Walking cautiously, being fully aware of his surroundings knowing all-to-well that the peaceful nature of the island was prone to wonderful and highly dangerous beings. As he walked, a black cat leapt from his back and sped along beside him.

"It's nice being somewhere quit for a change, wouldn't you agree, Tetsuya?"

"Whatever, I still prefer some form of noise...besides the sound of your voice."

The cat huffed off Tetsuya's comment and followed silently. Stopping infront of his favorite tree, Tetsuya gave a small smile and leaped onto the first branch, then to the next, continuously doing so until he reached his favorite branch and sat down with his back to the trunk and his legs running along the branch.

"Goodnight, Vertigo"

Draco stares blankly at Mani as she tries to explain what "Christmas" is, he then jumps to his feet when the key clicks into the chest.

"Yeah, go for it."

A grin widened his lips, revealing his fangs. His eyes narrowed, he wore almost a sinister look upon his expression as he crowched down low, his arms to his sides.
