Welcome to Gaia! ::

It must have been pure luck that the rare showing of Alice came along. It was a wonder where she spent her time as she remained a secret from most of her family. She decided to look around Midgar and do a little fun sight seeing, maybe even browse a few nice shops. Instead, the presence of pure darkness cought her attention, and lead her here to witness what was happening. Fiore was at it again, but rather then only going after a Serenitian, he struck Belle, who wasn't quite human, but a mix of human and Esper. Though most of her blood was human, and she would start to realize the dangers of being struck by this particular Reaper.

"Stay away from them!" It wasn't often Alice raised her voice, being a gently spoken, kind young girl. The Reaper's attention was quickly drawn to her, despite the crimson wrap around his eyes, it was clear he had ways to see. As he took his first step into her direction, his last step would be his last as a pink light shot up from under him, in the form of a magical seal. He would no longer be able to move. Surprising, concidering she had not used this spell often and really only learned it recently. It specialized in stopping movements of enemies of evil. That was the downside, unfortunately. It did only work on true evil , demons and Reaper's were especially weak to it. Alice wasn't a fighter, but when it came to protecting others, she would do all she could to help, much like Belle tried to do with nothing to really help herself at all. Now, the truly difficult part was to send him away! It didn't work during her practice, could she succeed in returning him to the Reaper zone her first real try?
Meanwhile, the slashes across Belle's body would start to turn eerie black in color, tiny thin lines similar to veins starting to spread around the very area, like a sort of virus infection, trying to take over the body. She would start to feel terribly ill and weak as she sat against the wall of the fountain...

Just as Julia reached Hana, a sudden chill filled the air, and had she watched the fountain and spear that was still pinning Hana, she would notice it was starting to freeze over. "Now, hit it with all your strength. It will shatter. " A young womans voice commanded softly, as a silver-haired teenage girl appeared there. Her armor was unique and fit for that of a Ice Princess, if one was to guess by just one glance of her blue clad figure. She even seemed to have what looked like icy shard wings, as well as a crown of crystal shards, adding on to her unique appearance was that of her elven ears. She was very pretty, and not what most would imagine to be a former Reaper.
Julia followed the instructions, having no real other choice if she didn't want to risk hurting Hana more, and the second she slammed her fist into the ice-covered spear, the force shattered it into pieces, as well as the top of the fountain it was embedded into. Once it had shattered, Crystal's hands emitted a icy blue glow, and Julia would see the pieces all form in front of the woman at the ground. The fountain may need some repairs, but the spear was safely removed from Hana's wings, giving Julia or Alice the ability to heal her.

Belle however, would still require a greater healer.. "You may want to call your mother here, she is the only one with the power to cleanse the Reaper's infection. If it goes on much longer, she will not survive. A normal human would have passed on by now, it is due to the small hint of her mother's side that she is still alive.With Fiore's ability, if he should strike you with his claw, for a Serenitian, it will not kill but it will try to corrupt and turn them. For a human, it will kill them quickly. I will teleport us all to her. "

Without another word, she, and all the girls vanished from the area.

Sitting at the fountain, was Belle, with many decorated, heart shaped boxes, some of other shapes as well. All of them seemed to be red in color, wrapped in bows and some even glittery. She spent the day unexpectedly receiving many chocolates from various young men, and even some she recognized from the hospital she had cared for. The most quietest young woman, seemed to be very popular among the citizens of Midgar and so loved. It was a little over-whelming! Everyone seemed to respect her so much, for all the good she did and just how much trouble she would go through daily to see that everyone was healthy, and safe. While the lot of her time was spent at the hospital, there were other times even on her day off, or break time, that she would spend time with the children that didn't seem to want her to leave them! Other times, she would bring gifts for them when she had spare GIL to spoil them with toys.

Glancing down at the large amounts of boxes settled at ether side of her, she thought about maybe trying some chocolates............But, being the silly, proper young woman she was, eating in such a place just seemed disrespectful. Not to mention there were many others around that didn't seem to have anything, nor did they seem happy. She would have to contain her natural ability to go make sure they were okay! To hug them, and show that they were loved even if it wasn't by someone special to them. This day......While it was wonderful for those who had someone, it wasn't so great for those who had no one. It felt like those who did, and walked proudly with their loved one were just kind of rubbing it in to the lonely people. How was that a nice holiday? It just hurt more people then it brought of happiness..................


"....................."

Sitting in one of the many benches around the city, was a bored young girl...particularly, Hiyori. She spent so much time keeping busy with her own missions, or trying to protect new comers of the world when they were suddenly attacked at the tier, that when it was quiet like this, she became completely restless and bored.In her wandering the city, she even ran into Aisha, who got to talking about long lost Zane working for ShinRa. They had Cissnei to keep tabs on things from the inside, but still, she couldn't help but wonder if maybe she could do something too. It wasn't like the irritating Adachi was working against Avalanche, or following Rufus's footsteps, so for now, she saw him as more of a pain, power hungry fool rather then a threat to anyone. He was also low on men, and low on ones with any real brains. Who ever heard of a eight year old Turk? Heck, it was something to try. It would be something to keep her constantly busy, maybe she could get her hands on some shiny new toys and create something useful for everyone. "They would be stupid to deny me, its not about age, it's about potential and brains...At least, if I can work there, I can keep an extra eye on Zane and Cissnei,too.." She said to herself,before taking a bite out of the cookie she bought moments before finding her resting spot here...
