Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nelo smirked, and picked up a coin, examineing it. "You know, its usualy wise NOT to tell someone you swindled them..." He closed his fist around the steel coin and crushed it to dust. "When I said silver, I meant it. You don't think others have tried to cump out on payments, do you? Most that tried, ended up dead. Those that survived, well..." He smiled that devilish smile. "I'll leave it to your imagination. But since the reward wasn't anything near some of my other bounties, I'll let you pay me when you can." He slid further into the Darkness and said, "Come. The castle awaits."

Adele entered the inn quietly. She was surprised that the it was empty, she didn't even see the owner behind the counter. 'He must be in a back room or something.' she thought. Delphi shook the dirt off her foot behind Adele, bringing her back to reality. Adele smiled and bent down to pet the wolf, "We can rest here for awhile, then continue on our way to the Earth Tower." She let out a small sigh then sat down on a chair. It felt good to finally sit down after hours of running.

Adele jumped when she heard someone scream 'Hi!', the person screamed it so loud she thought that even the dead would hear it. 'Well, I'm the only other person in here, so they must be talking to me.' Adele thought as she turned around slowly in her chair. Her eyes fell onto a girl about her age, with pale skin and dark red hair. "Umm, hi?"

Adele stared at the girl for a second, completely confused, until she finally answered, "Adele. Nice to meet you too." She looked down too see Delphi inching towards the bag by Ellen's feet. She decided to leave the wolf alone, 'Del will learn the hard way not to mess with other peoples stuff,' she thought. She turned back to Ellen, who was still smiling like an idiot in the chair next to her. "So, umm, Ellen, what brings you here?"

Adele thought for a moment, 'Must not be that important for her to forget what it was she was doing.' To answer Ellen's question, she decided to answer in a way that wouldn't reveal too much information, "I am a traveler. I cam here to rest for a bit." She smiled, 'Well its not lie, its just not the whole truth...' Out of the corner of her eye, Adele could see Delphi stop when she heard a growl come form the bag. Then the wolf started poking at the bag with her paw, the growl only making her more curious about what was in it.

Adele stared at the picture, "Yeah, they obviously did a good job. Someone from Fire probably did it because they could." She pulled Delphi back just as she was about to jump up to get Kana, "Down." she muttered. Del obediently laid down, but kept her eyes on the cat on the table, her tail wagging back and forth. "So Ellen," she said, turning back towards her, "You said that you used to travel, what do you do now?" Adele smiled at the girl, 'She may be weird, but she is certainly entertaining.' she thought.

Adele thought for a second, "You were going to see the Earth Princess? Are you from Earth?" She stared at Ellen for a second, 'She doesn't seem like someone from Earth.' Adele stared at the pages in the sketchbook, but Ellen was flipping through them to fast for her to really see what they were.

Adele continued to stare at the sketchbook, lost in thought. 'Both Earth and Water? Well, she isn't that bad, and i doubt she was one of the ones who flooded part of the Earth Nation. She wouldn't do that to the Nation she more connected with.' Adele came back to reality when she heard Ellen ask her a question, "Yeah, I'm from Earth." As if to prove her point, she made three pebbles that were on the floor rise up and spin around her fingers.
