Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Young K merged from the ground right beside the Dojo.He would have blinked if he could.Instead he just stood in place for a few moments,then shrugged.*That was close!*He made his way into the Dojo quickly,thumping all the way.Looking around the common room he noted the many couches.He decided he might choose one,but didn't want to crush it under his weight.Shrugging his heavy armor plates slid against each other.He found a couch and sat on it.It caved in under his weight,splitting in the middle.He shrugged and stayed sitting in the middle of the broken couch.Holding out his left hand,palm up and fingers out two forms started to glow a bright white.The shapes were those of two flowers.The glow died,and they were floating,spinning around each other,spiraliing a few inches above his hand.They continued to do that for quite some time,the two white flowers.K's helm seemed to stare right at them,the expanse of darkness inside broken only by the lollipop stick that led into it.The light licking sound could be heard as his soul ate the everlasting candy,though no body could be seen inside.The suit of armor did seem like it was watching the flowers though.*

Poor KB.......I wish my big brother just coulda been nice to Flower lady...I wish everyone was noce to everyone..then I wouldn't have to sit around here..and KB wouldn't be dust..and Than wouldn't be sad..and Xol would give hugs..and everyone would just be happy....

*As the voice inside the armor spoke it seemed on the verge of tears.The tiny child's voice lost inside the hollow armor,bouncing around until it found it's way out of the helm.*

As much as he despised the hatred that filled the place, Lan was forced to enter the dojo. Not because he had to, but because the foul wench Heswina teleported him here when Xol destroyed the gardens. Stepping out into the main room he felt extreamly out of place, a 13 foot giant in a building built for humans. Looking over to the couches he saw something that caught him a bit off guard, a monsterously large armored soldier!

"Greetings Armored Soldier, why does the air become lead around your being?"

Though a strange way of asking, he was mearly asking why K was so down.

"Wait...you're made of metal? That's not armor you wear?"

Lan's boots slammed against the wooden floors as he walked, the wood creaked and moaned under the weight of Lan's build. Standing a few feet from the Armored Soldier, Lan rest his hand on the prommel of his sword. It wasn't suppose to be a sign of threat, but it was often seen as such.

"Forgive me, my name is Lan. What I ment to ask is, why are you so depressed, Armored Soldier?"

"The Flower Lady? Well, Armored Soldier, I have never met this Flower Lady, but I know what you speak of when you speak of the grass. The Earthen Brother cries in pain. Every day, every waking moment I can hear it's cry. These walls are filled with dark hatred and deep seeded evils. I mourn for your kin's death, but you must realize that so long as you draw breath, he shall live."

Lan took a few more steps closer to K and sat down. Even sitting he was a good 6 and a half feet tall. He cut a short chuckle when he held his hand out for the young K.

"Aye, to be depressed is to be sad."

"Heswina! The foul, black hearted butcher! HA! She's nice?! Never in a million years! Oh how I will take great pleasure rending the flesh from her body and devouring her bones! I will take the utmost pleasure in the warmth of her blood running through my fingers as I tear her limb from limb!"

Lan's thoughts never played on his face as he lowered his hand and shrugged.

"And this Flower Lady, what makes her so nice...and why do you call her the Flower Lady?"

He already had a good idea, Heswina use to use roses as weapons, raning from bombs to poisonous canisters. He assumed that she tried to poison the Armored Soldier, that would account for not having any body. One of Heswina's favorite chemicals was an acid that only attacked the skin.

Lan almost gagged himself when Armored Soldier said Heswina had a child. The thought of that vile butcher having offspring made him sick!

"A baby? You say this Flower Lady has a child?"

Shaking the thought of Heswina and another man out of his mind he tries and focuses his attention on the Armored Soldier.

Pushing himself up, off the ground, and standing the full 13 feet of his height, Lan looked down at K. He dusted himself off and took a quick glance around the room. Though physically unharmed from the fight with Xol, he was rather tired from holding the dopple ganger for such a period of time.

"Armored Soldier...perhaps you can help me. I'm trying to get back to the gardens, I find the peaceful connection with nature soothing, but I fear I don't know where I am..."

Smileling he scratched the back of his head, long platinum hair drapped over his shoulders and down his back.

*K sighs softly and gets up.He watches as the couch mends itself.He nods and makes his way out,his heavy metal feet thudding as he went.Looking up,the blackness of the night sky seemed to rival the blackness in his armor.The moonlight,the stars,they reflected off the metal of his armor as if he were a pond.He started to walk,slowly.Moving further and further away from the Dojo.At times he felt as though he was alone,at other times he felt like he had a whole family.He continued to walk,his body never growing tired.He watched the sky the entire time,his feet finding their way without him looking.*
