He finally reaches the Chaos Gate. Standing before the Hovering Globe that is supported by spinning golden pieces of rounded metal, he punches in the Keywords in the real world, as that the Chaos gate itself reacts to them.Δ Hidden Forbidden Radiation. A blue swirl of light shines over his body and he is teleported out of Mac Anu and teleported to Arche Koeln Waterfall, a Lost Ground. When he emerges on the otherside he beholds a beautiful scene of epic grandness. A small catwalk leads to a circular plateform where, upon standing at the center of this plateform you can behold the large walls of rock, with endless waterfalls pouring off their edge. He finds himself drawn to this plateform, where he eventually kneels down on, in the center of the plateform and closes his eyes.
He says softly, "Finally... peace."[ ADDED EVENT| Check front page for more details ]

She kicks her legs more frantically for a brief moment as she tries to overcome a short streak of frustration and bad temperment; with none of her friends on Neva Lee was feeling a bit more impatient than normal. She wanted nothing more than for someone to hurry up and get on, or for someone to ask her to go with them. It wasn't often that a brand new player was brave enough to ask for help, but Neva Lee has a kind of confidence that perhaps one the older players she had helped out would see her and maybe ask her to go along. Then again, she also wonders if she was patient enough to wait for that.
With a little frustrated sigh she gets back up and to her feet and heads for the Chaos Gate to look for such a person. There's an idea in her mind that she will pick out the newest, most frightened looking, most awe-struck, newb she saw and show them just how the game works and hopefully pass the day without boredom.

He stands up and looks at the waterfalls for a moment, admiring the myst that rolled off them in a seductive dance. The sound of the crashing water was also soothing, and eased his mind from his real life frustrations and troubles. He really loved this place, and really missed his friends that he shared this with. He sighed and decided to return back to Mac Anu, He figured he might as well go look through a dungeon or something; prehapes even get in some PK's against those who PK against the weak. He shruged, as he returned to the Chaos Gate and Warped back to Mac Anu.
Upon rematerializing in Mac Anu, he saw an odd looking beast women standing there seeming to be waiting for something or someone. He had to ask, and did so in his charming manner, "Eh.. you know standing here like a log is only blocking people from getting to where they want to be."
He didnt even understand himself why he was such a jerk, but it made him feel good for some twisted reason. He figured if he couldnt move in real life, he'd make others feel how he felt, that being annoyed and frustrated.

In the real world Seraphina twitches slightly at the comment, but in the World Neva Lee turns herself clamly to look at the other player, even smiling slightly. "I'm waiting for something," She replies in the too calm and too sweet voice that causes most other players to think her wiser than she really is. While she is annoyed by what he had said, she pushes that emotion aside to instead focus on what the player behind the character must be feeling; it is what makes Neva Lee seem so impassive. "And I'm sure that I'm not blocking you from where you're going." She continues, the smile increasing for a brief moment before she turns her body away again and continues scanning the crowd of people going to and from the Chaos Gate.
Truthfully she is still watching him from the corner of her eyes, but is carefully looking forward. This is about as exciting as her day seemed it was going to get, which while sad, is also a nice change of pace. She's hoping that with someone as seemingly as impatient as he os that her calm persona will rub him the wrong way and perhaps he will speak again. It would give her something to do for a while, and after all, there didn't seem to be anyone who needed her today.

Zami was shocked to hear the user snap at her, but forgot about him soon enough. She went towards the Chaos Gate, cycling through her large list of keywords. No matter what she tried, none of them looked like they would be much fun. She sighed and crossed her arms, wondering what to do. Perhaps she should find someone to go with her. Newbie or not, it didn't matter. The company could be good for her.
Zami looked around for an unoccupied user, but found most of them busy. She sighed and went over to the wall, sitting and watching the crowd. Perhaps someone would come around. As she was waiting, a thought occured to her. "I hope I don't look like a newbie," she said quietly to herself.

"Dont you turn your back on me," he was annoyed that she wasnt paying him the attention he deserved. He half expected a confrontation but instead is getting this smug additude. (what he believes to be smug). He grabbed for her left shoulder in the attempts to turn her around, if successful he says in a harsh manner, "Do you honestly think the person or thing your waiting for will be considerate of your time at all? People come and go, and in the end its just yourself."
He almost was sounding as if he was speaking about himself, he shrugged off his comment and looked around, shifting his eyes to do so, not his head. He quickly entered the words, "Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground" but he also said them verbally, somewhat encouraging anyone to follow, especially this female who stood boldy before him.
A blue swirl of light shined over him and eventually he was gone. He would re-emerge at the Hulle Granz Cathedral. There standing at the end of a long unfinished stone bridge, he stood before the Lost Grounds Temple. A ever setting sun rested behind the building giving it a fiery glow. The warmth that came from it shined upon the path before him, and the soft sound of a hyme played a melody within his ear. He loved the lost grounds, he found them fascinating and similiar to himself, forgotten.
He muttered to himself, "Stupid girl, thinking she can act all smug around me. Who the hell is she."
He found himself fascinated that someone wasnt intimidated by him, nor threatened. It also annoyed him that someone would be brave enough to turn their back to him. He began his slow pace to the Cathedral.

Not expecting to be grabbed by the other player it came as quite a shock to Neva Lee when she suddenly found herself whirled about and being yelled at. She watched him in wide eyed confusion, shocked enough to let her emotions play across her face but not shocked enough to allow out the partial anger that swept through her at the actions. Then there were his words... they left so many questions, it was obvious that he was angry about something, that he'd have friend leave him behind, but then he too quickly left before she confront him about it.
"It's almost as though he wants me to follow him..." She mused aloud and under her breath when he said the words aloud. Who was she to question his actions? Especially when it was such a temptation to follow and see what he wanted, and if it was nothing then she still wanted to go and see. There's this gut feeling that she simply has to do so, so that's what she's going to do. She approaches the gate and scrolls through the words, entering them in.
Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground
The swirl of light shines over her and in the next moment she's standing on the familar bridge to one of the few lost grounds she knew of. She doesn't know what to say to this man, so instead she says the only thing she can think of. "I'm Neva Lee, what do they call you?" She asks calmly, in the emotionless but still somehow kind sounding tone she was known for.

Halfway across the bridge, he heard the girls voice. Before turning around he smiled, it was odd but he found the company welcoming. He turned around in his hunched over posture, his eyes fiercly looked upon her , and a twisted smile crossed his face. He stepped forward, leaning towards her in an ackward gesture.
"Neva, You are certainly a brave individual to follow me, especially here. What is your deal?"
His voice was harsh, and coarse. He moved like a wolf sizing its pray, as he slowly moved to circle her. He had clearly ignored her question. He wasnt going to attack her, he knew if a player had the nervs to follow him anywhere, they must either be complete newbies, or they match him in level. His white hair, almost masked his gray dull eyes. His skin was soft peach tone, but he had markings around his eyes representing his definately a teir three adept rogue.

Neva Lee is careful to keep the front of her body facing him at all times, she had "learned her lesson" about "turning her back" on him from the last meeting with him only moments ago. "Actually it's Neva Lee, two words both together never apart," She explains to him, keeping the calm smile on her face. It's a little amusing and a little disturbing both at one his reactions, but she won't allow the disturbed part of her to show. "I suppose you could call me brave, but I wouldn't..." She continues, even smiling slightly more in a friendly manner. As far as Neva Lee goes this is about as emotional as she gets, and she won't let his scare tactics bother her.

"..."
He just looked her up and down, his black body armor clanging at his stiff movement. His twisted, and ackward steps made him appear crippled and almost death ridden. He completly circles her once and then locks his eyes with hers. He did not know what to say to her, he was slightly taken off gaurd that her tone had remained static. He backed up slowly and turned around to began walking towards the Cathedral again.
A small tail like extension dangled from his back with various sharp edges along it, his movement was slow and slugish. The golden talon's that extended off his boots scraped the stone surface, giving off an errie chalk-board like sound.
He spoke to her without turning around, his voice getting softer the further he walked away, "...I dont know what makes you think I wouldnt PK you right here."
It was odd he said that with his back turned to her, but even for the most experienced of players, it was clear his hands were lowered by his side, with his fingers twiddling everso slightly, showing he was fully on gaurd. He had to get to that Cathedral, he had a ritual of sorts..he had done, he also hoped she would follow. Oddly enough he wanted a friend but didnt know how to approach it, so talking to her the way he did was the only way he knew.

Neva Lee narrows a slight frown at his back, watching for a moment with an almost concerned expression. Letting out a light sigh she begins to follow, almost hesitating at first, but she continues along slowly none the less. "If you wanted to PK me, wouldn't you have done it by now?" She asks calmly, drifting along slowly behind and paying more attention to what's going on around her than to him. It wasn't as if she was meaning to insult him, she was just rather fascinated with her surroundings again.
She sighs slightly and makes sure she stays a few steps behind, more because she wanted to take her time than she was trying to keep him in her sights; it didn't help he made such an unearthly sound just by walking that made her ears flinch backwards from the slight pain. "You have the strangest way of talking to people, but it's a nice change of pace." She says, smiling slightly again and almost laughing.

He was becoming irritated he thought to himself, "Is she mocking me?!" He didnt response to her verbally as he walked up the stairs to the large cathedral and then pushed the large bronze doors open, a blinding light explodes from within to the outside. For a moment he closes his eyes and opens them soon afterwards to adjust them to the warm orange glow that proceeds right after the initial explosion of light. Standing at the entrance to the Cathedral, even though he's been here many times, he always finds himself in awe of the many rows of pews and the reflective surface of the tiled floor beneath him. He was even more in awe about the large glass stained window in the far back of the room that allowed the warm glow of the sun to penetrate this great hall. The hyme was also at its peak as he almost forget he was being trailed.
He proceeded into the Cathedral, still walking in a very ackward manner, with his eyes fixated on the empty alter. When he gets halfway down the isle he turns around and crosses his arms and says in as gentle of a manner as he could, "..Seriously what is your deal? I am not exactly the nicest of people yet you insist on ..following me."
He looks at her for a moment, her image was close to that of a friend he had lost in real life that use to play this game with him. It was a friend that had died in the car accident he had managed to survive. He looked away from her, and his tone got hostile again, "Just leave me alone.. just looking at you irritates me."
After close examination he just couldnt bare to look upon her, it was making him grief in real life and it brought to much pain to the surface, since the accident itself only occured a few months ago. He called forth his Twin Daggers as a fury of light erupted from his sides. Within his hands he held the hilts tightly, but still didnt look upon her.

Her expression pauses for a moment in shock, caught between emotions so that it was completely blank, and then she frowned softly. "If it makes you feel better, then I'll leave..." She says softly, holding her hands up in a subconcious reflex of saying "look, I'm unarmed, I mean no harm" even though it contradicted with the gauntlets on her hands. Neva Lee took a step backward to show that yes, she would indeed be leaving him, though she didn't really feel like doing so. She was still so curious about this player, about what his name was and about what was wrong with him. Emotionless and understanding she may be, but unable to leave well enough alone she was not.
As she prepared to warp back to Mac Anu, she went against her best judgement and sent him her e-mail. "If you ever feel like you need someone, I'm almost always on." She told him in as warm a tone as she could while weapons were aimed at her, and then she warped out to go back to Mac Anu.

He looked towards the Cathedral's door as it shut and he stood there alone in the Cathedral. Before he could even turn to proceed to the alter, he recieved her short mail and for a moment he found him upset with himself.
"What am I doing.., the first person in this game since.. Aeia died, that has accepted me for myself and wasnt taken back by me, I push away."
He sheaths his weapons as they disappear in a soft light, as he walked towards the Cathedral's doors and pushes them open once again. He looked towards the sky. He sent a short mail back to her|
|| I dont know what it is about you, but for the first time in months, I've felt remorse for an action i've done so many times already..I am sorry. ||
He didnt leave his member address as he didnt want her to know when he was online, and was worried that she would just get hurt in the long run for being his friend, especially in this game. He was one of those few Player Killer Killers that were being hunted on a large scale. Not that he has come anywhere close to what the "Terror of Death" did, but he hasnt faced defeat yet, and has been known to take on small groups. He also didnt want her facing his many differnt mood swings, its just he couldnt get over the fact his friend was gone, and blamed "The World" and "The Real World" for it. He just stood there on the steps of the Cathedral, at a loss to what to do.

As Mac Anu settles back around her like a comfroting blanket of normacy, Neva Lee lets out for a brief moment in a sigh the rush of emotions that she's doing her best to surpress: sadness, anger, worry, concern. Maybe she's been becoming to motherly for her own good, babying the players she's coming in contact with and trying far too hard to be sweet. She was vaugely considering getting offline to go yell into the pillow angirly over the unfairness of being spurned for being nice when she got the e-mail.
She sighs again as she finishes reading it, feeling more alone and sad than she did before. Perhaps it would be best to go through with her plan and just delete Neva Lee from existance? She ponders this to herself as she sweeps forward through Mac Anu, only vaugely looking out for the other players around her; if they need her or want her they can come find her themselves, she's now fallen into one of her rare moods and it's one that's left her feeling the need to be alone despite the fact she doesn't want to feel alone.
Still none of her friends are on, but they probably have lives outisde The World. It's not as though she's fallen out of love with the world be merely that she's feeling her persona as Neva Lee is no longer needed or wanted, and it was by being the motherly, kind, and understanding person that she was trying to become more wanted. Drifting along she retakes her spot on the bridge, sinking to hang her legs off. "I wonder where everyone is today..."
