Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zen walked quickly past the guard at the gate that lead into the city. Then he proceeded to look for the red building that he was supposed to be looking for. There were three. Which one? he thought to himself.
Zen was currently in human form. The only thing that would show that he was a dragon was his white tail. Zen had enough sense to wrap his tail around his waist and put on a large shirt before coming into town. He didn't know how others would react to a creature like him. If no one knew he was a dragon, the better. And he was planning on keeping it that way.
That building looks too heavily guarded. I'm probably not allowed there he thought to himself as he looked at the first building that was guarded by two guards. I'd really rather not go into a tavern. Bad idea on my part he thought as he looked over to The Sleepy Owl. "I'll go to that one." he said pointing out the final building with red top that was far away from the others.

Alwyn walked into the town past the guards not even looking at them as she did so. She saw the three red roofs. She decided on the one at the very end further away then the others. That and many people seemed to be around that one. She was rather surprised to find so many there and so many of such different race. She made her way to the tree and found a spot to sit resting her head in her hands appearing to be thinking. With her occupation it wasn't wise to draw much attention to herself. In truth she was really looking at everyone else seeing what she could discover about them.

Alwyn watched the scene play out, she stood and made her way into the house not in a hurry but curious as to what would follow. she found the room alot larger then she had expected. she found a place and again sat with her head in her hands. listening carefully.

Jason nearly jumped back as he heard Ramiel yell, but had kept his composure as he watched the door open. As the door swung open, Jason proceeded with caution and then walked over towards a table that had many chairs around it. Jason took a chair that was close to the door so he could run if he needed to. Jason then placed both hands upon the table, showing that he was not holding a weapon.

Sintariun, jerked slightly as another newcomer yelled to someone and saw an old man. An aura around the mortal compelled the elf to want to follow. Gasping softly, the elf was surprised that she could understand what the mortal was saying, the elf listened intently. Watching as more joined then all followed the two into a house, the elf lightly landed on her feet and made her way towards the shack house.

Pulling her hood over her head to try and hide her ears and eyes to not gain attention, Sintariun entered and was mildly surprised at the vast space and the homeliness of the place. Her purple gaze went to those around her and she muttered under her breath, Hwod zdlomji lokiz wili, E hamtil hwod dwiu oli orr wili fal... Sintariun was pretty sure that all of them were summoned like she was just not the reasons why they wanted in.

Her gaze flicked up to see rafters overlooking the room and she swiftly jumped onto one and gazed down at the others.

(What strange races here, I wonder what they are all here for...)

At the sight of the small, dark creature, Liah stiffened and grabbed at her knife which lay safely in it's sheath. Before she could draw it, Asteria stopped her.

'Don't.' She warned through the connection only Liah could understand. 'I'm not sure what it is...but it might be best not to try and kill it....'

Liah nodded, but was extremely irritated that the little thing was bouncing on her head. She decided to reason with it. What was there to lose? "Um. Could you get off my head, please?" She wasn't sure what the heck she was doing, but she was a Beast Master. Maybe her persuasion would work on it.

"Well, now that you have all entered, or at least the majority of you, allow me to explain a few things" The old man said standing up. With great easy he tossed the cane to the side having it land on a small hook, and he appeared to be...growing? Yes, he was indeed growing. His hieght and muscle mass increased as a bright white and gold magic circled around him. His face smoothed and his silver hair grew in length. Within moments where once stood an old man, now stood a strong, barrel chested youth, looking no older then 27.

"Greetings to you all, excuse the disguise, but the outside world is not quite prepared for what I am as it once was. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ovan, one of the four guardians of the heavens, or should I say one of the former guardians" He said, his voice ans soothing and serene as a lake, the surface unbroken.

"I'm sure you must all have many questions, but I'm afraid those can wait. First let me explain why I have asked you here, however I must do one thing first" Ovan gave a slight grunt after saying this before a pair of snow white wings spread from his back, folding almost immediately as to not take up much space "Ah, much better, now, onto business. The reason I have brought you here is of dire importance. It pertains to this worlds current state. I speak of course of the endless veil of twilight."

Bringing his hand to his mouth Ovan seemed to clear his throat before continuing, when he next spoke his voice rang clear through the room, almost seeming to draw those within it to hear his every word "Long ago, as I'm sure many of you know, the world was cast into Twilight by a dark and powerful being. The being's power however did not come from natural means, but a once sacred object. In using the object he cast a horrific fate upon us all, for you see this Twilight is slowly deteriorating the world, destroying it bit by bit. The only thing that can fix this is the item itself, however at the moment that has become impossible"

"After the item was used it was locked away, its seven key's scattered to the four winds. These keys are what I wish for you to find. They are known as the seven elemental orbs, you must gather them. I do not know the exact location of all the orbs, however as you progress through your journey I shall tell you what I've discovered thus far. Now...are there any questions? And I believe it would be best that you all introduce yourselves to one another since you'll be traveling together from here on out....and for the great spirits sake take off your hood already Ramiel, I know you don't like this but it must be done!" Ovan said, glaring side long at Ramiel who at current stood on the opposite side of the room from everyone else

"Fine fine" Ramiel said, growling slightly as he lowered his hood. Once lowered, his hood revealed what looked to be a young, unusually handsome man, though his features were hardened by what most would assume to be years of battle.

Looking at the others Ramiel sighed and spoke "As you have already heard my name is Ramiel, my age, origins and species however are none of your damn business" He said with a slight growl at the end, his eyes shooting a quick glare at Ovan before turning back to their watchful gaze over everyone else.
