Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eyulf layed belly down on a mattress staring at a blank wall, not fully conscious of what he was doing, where he was, and why his bed felt like clouds that he did not want to be on. Attempting to focus on the room a little bit better, he soon realized that he could concentrate all he wanted, his eyes just weren't ready to open yet. He started to move his hands to rub his eye, when he realized the same mistake he made before. Rubbing his eyes would just make them hurt more.
Rolling over onto his back he tried to recall what had happened after he entered the taxi, but it was taking time to come back. Maybe he had slept walk through all of it. "Ugh...!" he muttered as he rolled out of the bed. He had somewhere to be getting ready for, he just wasn't fully sure where yet. As his senses got into focus he too glances of the room to jot his memory.
"Oh right...stupid taxi driver" he thought to himself as he sat up on the bed. All of his belongings seemed to be in place, including his...tuba. "What is that doing here? I'm pretty sure I sent you to Mom and Dad's home...Great, what the hell." he thought to himself. He just knew this was not his so called apartment.
Not really feeling like walking, Eyulf rolled onto the floor and followed through with an army crawl towards his suitcase. First thing was first, if they weren't going to guard him with fifty million people, it would be a good idea to start exploring before he had to get to that high school. "Oh, that's where I have to be...." he whispered to himself as he came upon his suitcase. Taking one hand and opening the zipper he started to rummage through for his mp3 player. "Haha, thank goodness no one is watching this. One person on the Earth that is too lazy to actually walk to a suitcase on the floor and would rather crawl.." he said to himself rolling onto his back after he had found the tiny black music player. "In the modd for Carolina Crown.." He muttered facing the cieling, still lying down, as he scrolled through his playlists. Finally finding what he was looking for, he placed the ear buds in his ears and jumped up. Being in the same clothing from the night before(..well the past few days...airplane rides...) he didn't think about changing. "Need, clean shower..." he thought to himself as he picked up his halberd(which was in it's case) for any protection needed. Yawning one last time he walked out of the room humming Crown's "St Michael the Archangel " from Respighi.

Eyulf scanned the entire of the current floor he was on. All he could come up with was this entire floor was made of bed rooms...what was this a hotel? Deciding to head to the next floor he calmly walked into the elevator and hoping that nothing random like it stopping would happen. "Only two floors. Really? Lame." he said to himself. Being the only visible person talking to himself didn't seem like such a bad idea.

Walking onto the first floor he significantly turned his music down. In a way it made him miserable to know that his life was going to be stuck in this hell island. In his opinion if he had to choose between being sent to a middle sized city to teach and pu this life in danger or playing in a wonderful orchestra somewhere in Europe, he would choose the later. "I'm doing this just for you Dad..." was his only comforting thought. Either way he had a feeling after a while he'd be able to do his own thing...just hopefully not in his thirties.
After a while of self touring the building he decided that it was just a normal mansion of a home. After he made this thought in his mind he was just about to deep the place safe to take a bath when he realized he couldn't find the elevator again. "...I've past that same room three times now.... where the heck is that elevator!" he screamed mentally, rubbing his forehead. "Calm down Eyulf, it'll show up..." he thought calming himself down, and walking a bit more. "It's not showing up..." he thought with a face of complete distraught. "Ma baby is up there! This is exactly why I didn't want it in this stupid place! My parents are idiots! Do they now how much that thing costs?! Oh noes!, all my stuff are there, what am I going to do..." he yelled as he started to sink into a huddle leaning on the wall. He was mentally breaking down when a hole opened up into the wall sending him rolling backwards in. "Huh..." he said sounding like a lost puppy. Maybe his lack of affection towards humans and his immense amount of affection towards musical wind instruments would be the downfall of him.

The elevator came o a stop as if knowing where he had wanted to go, ended up the opposite of his room. "This is like a haunted house..." he muttered stumbling out of his room and entering his room, happy to see everything just as he left it. He smoothly walked over to his tuba case, opening it to check his instrument was still in there. Which it was, standing ever so shiny as though it was telling him it's all right. Eyulf hugged his Tuba ever so happily "Oh Charlie~!!" he said sounding like a sappy creep. I might have been gone for a short while but I was sooo worried..." he said eventually mentally kicking himself back to normal. "Well, either way, I would bomb this place to get you back, so I shouldn't be worried." he said justifyingly with a nod. Picking up a change of clothing he headed back out again. He knew he saw a bathroom somewhere. He'd take a show and take advantage of whatever else he could find, then jet later. If he was lucky he wouldn't see anybody and it would be like he was never there.

~~~~~~~~~

Eyulf stretched his arms out as he walked into the room his belongings were being held. He was fully dressed, sparkly and clean, and ready to teach some short asian students about some of the hardest subjects they would ever learn: The English language and Music. It came across him a few times that not once had he seen the owner of this place or ny possible workers. It would be impossible for them to not be there, but it was early. They could have just been asleep. Everytime the thought came into his head he shook it off and went along, hopefully they were just avoiding him. Slinging his halberd, which was concealed to look like a large piece of artwork being held in a case, over his shoulder he made one last wave to Charlie and started to climb the window.

He didn't want to leave the window open so he hung on the edge of the window attempting to close the window. "Terrible day to be this windy..." He muttered as his hair blew in every which direction. "I just comb that mop too.." he said referring to his hair knowing it wasn't neat any longer. Slaming the window shot he let go of the ledge starting to fall. He would never thought two stories could be so high up... but he should have thought about that from how large the ballroom was. Landing very roughly with a roll rather than neatly and cool, he stood up and actually saw the outside of the building.
"Wow..." was all he muttered as he looked around and then spotted the gate blocking him. "Oh faaa.." he said walking up to the gate. "Knew I couldn't leave without seeing atleast one person." he muttered as he went up to the guard.

"And you are?" the guard ask with very little emotion.

"That's none of your business, now let me out." Eyulf said with the harshest of tones and alittle bit of attitude. He wasn't going to jsut answer questions to some loser stuck with guarding a gate.

"..." the guard said nothing remembering an order to allow someone that matched Eyulf's description if he asked to leave. Opening the gat with a grunt, he was in a way happy to see the kid leave, even though he was taller than him, he had too much o an attitude.

"Thank you!" Eyulf said completely changing his tone as he left the building, leave the guard wondering what bipolar teenager was brought into the base.

He then make his way toward the game room. As he enter the room, he then saw, an new xbox 360 and as well as several Play Station three.

His team as engage into an gun war with south americans.

As the battle dragged on. He has lost 3 of his teammates. But it seem like the war has just begun. He then call for reinforments. 20 men had came as backup. They then start the real battle. Akio character was low on health from all the bullets he had taken. "Ok now I'm bore" Akio then cut the wii off and went straight to the xbox 360. "Now. I'm really about to have some fun." Akio then found the game dragonball z burst limit. He then took it out the case and put it inside the game system. He then grab the wireless joystick. "That right this is the xbox360 elite system.

He then started to go to the new game mode. He then started out the aprt where orchimaru has destroy the leaf village. He then he had to find sakura and sasuke. He was playing as naruto. As soon as he did, they then attend the war of the third hokage. It was very sad. Afterward, akio then completed several missions and side missions and advance to an higher part of the story after playing several hours straight. He was at the part when naruto had to battle sasuke at the hospital. The battle was long, since he lost the first time. He then beated sasuke during the rematch. He then watches the cutscenes. He then save the game and cut it off. He then got up. "I'll save the fun for tomorrow. Gotta have stuff to do through the summer. But why I'm at it. I should go to the library and go get on the computers and get on the internet." He then went to the library and made his way tot he computer. He then log on the internet and went on facebook and check his messages. He then notices he had several friend request. He then accepted them all. He then updated his profile.

"I have over 1500 friends. I made some progess." He then got happy an little. He then sent an message to a few girls. They responded and he talk to them for about 15 minutes. He then logg off of facebook. "Time to go to youtube" He then type in youtube and search up katt williams. He then saw an video and click it. He then started laughing hard. "Katt williams funny" He then went to another video by katt williams. He then laugh even more. It was like as each video that akio watch, he laugh even more. He laugh so hard, that he start cry laughing. His stomach then started hurting. Akio then type in the words. "school rumble" he then started watching an comedy romance cartoon. He was watching the video for about 20 minutes. "Okay, now I'm bore." He then logg off the internet and got off the computer. He then walk out the library but pick out an boxing book on his way out and then went into the music room. He then an ipod and started listening to some music by lil wayne. He then started reading the boxing book. He started learning lot more moves. "hmmm....." He then made an interesting face. "I should go to an punching bag and try these move out one day." He then kept reading. He then close the book up, after about an hour or so. But he kept listening to the music. He then close his eyes, but he didnt fall asleep. He was just relaxing. Akio thought about school, being in his 3rd year after just comming from the 1st year. He smile. Then he realize he would be with a bunch of kids older then him and he remember he doesn't know any older class. "I think I'm just go continue to the next grade instead. My mom, always wanted me to pass each grade, not skip none. Not even 1 grade. If she was here, she was lecture me." Akio started thinking about all his times his mother use to lecture him. He then smile. "Good times. I guess I'm going to have to make good memories here. Better yet, I could visit america for a week or two. I wander if anything change while I been gone." He then change the song and went to the song call "gooder" the song was about 4 minutes and 26 seconds. After that time period he began to change to another song. He then went to an song by lil wayne. Call "bang bang" He then listen tot he song. He then got up holding the ipod. He start dancing. He start doing the robot and change it and started doing foot-work. Then he started pop-locking. He got very tire after few minutes, and very sweaty. Lucky he had on deoderant. "degree ultra men, elite edition." So he was not smelly. He then took the ipod with him and ran to the track field. When he got outside. He then took off shirt and took running several laps around the field. With the ipod in his hand and the ear phones in his ear and the music playing. He then started getting an boost from the song. He was running even faster then before.

He then started act like he was holding an footbal and started juking around. But then he tripped. But thankfully he proected the ipod. So it did not break. He then laugh. "There one thing about myself. I'm still clumsy." He said to himself with slight laughter. He then got back up and begins to take an breathe. But he was not as tired as he was before. "I think my body has grown." He then went back into the manison, one of the regular henchmen had greeted him with an hello sign. Akio sent the same sign back. He then stop and turn around. He then went to the henchmen and ask him to come with him. He then went found 2 others and ask them to come with him. They then head to the fooltball field. "Ok I ask you 3 to come, because I need an little fun and I can't have fun by myself. It kinda get lonely and boring." The guard agreeded with him. "So what I want to do is play foot ball. 2 on 2. I know it seem like it confusing, but it actually an little hard. Bt after an few trys yall will get the hang of it". He then pointed to one of the henchmen. "your own my team. While you 2 are going against us." They then nodded. "We call first." akio then grab the football. Both teams get in their positison. Akio then sent an signal. "HUT HUT" Akio yelled. He then took off running to make an touchdown, while his partner was use to be an blocker. He then maded it pass the thirty yard line, then the twenty yard line, then 10 yard line. He then got close to the touchdown but he got tackle. He hit the ground and lost the ball. "Are you alright? I didn't mean to tackle you that hard." one of the guards ask. Akio then get up. "That more like it, and stop saying your sorry. I'm okay. I can handle hit like those. That was nothing, c'mon this starting to get fun. Yall get the ball this time. Better yet, this how it goes. We each take 1 turn at the ball. This time it yall turn,after that then it ours, it going to rotate like that. Even if one of us make an touchdown or get tackle. It rotate like that." The 2 henchmen that was going against akio and his team member, had got the ball. One if them took off with the ball. Heading toward the touchdown. He got very far. But akio use his max speed and catch up with him. He then tackle him down. "Our turn." Akio said taking the ball. Akio then told his partner their plan. They then get back in their positions. Akio then made it seem like he was going to throw the ball toward his partner, as his partner took off heading down the field where the touchdown was at. But the other team, thought they had akio figure out. But they went toward akio direction, thinking he was use his partner as an decoy so akio could run with the ball and easily dodge them, since they would be easily following his partner. He then laugh. "touchdown." Akio threw the ball toward his partner , it was an 80 yard distance. But his partner made it toward the touchdown. "6 points." Akio said. He then laughs. "I bet you 2 feel stupid, but it okay. I don't blame yall. I'm about to go sit down and think for a minute or 2. Yall go have an chit chat for an little bit." He then walk toward an bench and sat down by himself. He then rested for an few minutes, he then get back up and start stretching his legs. He then start using breathing exersice for a few second. "Ok I'm read. Your turn." He then got into position and his partner who was actually name rob, got behind him. "we're team J and you two be team K." Team k then got ready and the 2 member talk to each other. "C'mon girls. We didnt come here to talk, we came to play." Team K, then laugh and laugh and made an serious face. "Sir, we're going to win this now," Said by rob toward akio. "Yeah we are. I don't know what they planning but it don't look smart." they both laugh. Team K, made it seem like they was going for an Kick off. But then turn around and it became an running play. Jankins who was one of the henchman playing football, as team K leader was running the ball. But akio had easily caught up to him and tackle. He then heard his phone ringing and ran to his phone. He then check his text messages and notices his uncle to whom he was staying with now. Is gone on an trip to south america. He said Akio could stay at the chivarone family base for the summer, knowing they would take care of him. "That right, my uncle use to be in the chivarone family. WOw look at the time it late. I'm sleepy all of the sudden. I'm going to call it an night." Akio then wave his hand and walk toward to one of the guess room and went to sleep on the bed.

Akio then stop and felt the bad presence. "HEY WAIT!" Akio then turn around and run after Anansi. "I've could've sworn you made an insult behind my back. Is this true?" Akio said as he got closer to Anansi.

Akio then laugh and grab Anansi shoulder. "It funny how you could stay. To me, you look like trash that need to be thrown away. You really think your good enough to run this family? Please! you'll get everybody killed. What give you the right to talk about the boss behind his back. Weak simple minded fool like you, rest in the deep of hell. But to call me weak, I'm way out of your league. Even if your older. I'm not carefree. I'm just better then you. You notice That I'm more suited for the job then you. You can't handle the fact, that everyone that an guardian has an life, while you still live in the shadows." Akio laugh at Anansi of how pitiful he is. "I guess your another dead beat loser. But if you dislike me and A.J, how about you leave the family and go somwhere and die. You an waist of time."

"Anansi, it take an worthless person, to know an worthless person. If so, I wander why your not leading the family yet. huh? why aren't you leading your own family?" he laugh. "Oh that right, don't nobody want an weak, worthless, all talk but no show boy like you as there leader. People rather die then have you become an leader. Also judging by what I'm feeling, your power is weak. But you must be an in hurry. So please, just go, the sight of your face is killing me. A guy like you has no purpose in the mafia. You have no respect, no values, no purposes. Your just an broken down car, waiting to be turn into scrap metal." Akio then laugh at Anansi face and walk off, and he said to himself. "He's just another soul waiting to be sent to the heavens. What an entertainer." He then laugh even louder. "Then, he thought he was scary witht hat red eye glow. What an joke. A.J should've made him into a loyal pet."

A.J let out a brief sigh as he walked past Akio, a light tap on the head, some what knocking the man off his balance. A.J seemed to show a pleasant yet upset contradiction of emotions all at once, he preferred not to watch his guardians fight with one another but it couldn't be helped, what without a sun guardian to help keep things in a positive mood, their was sure to be nothing but chaos from time to time. A.J surely had his work cut out from him, as his half opened eyes gave a look of deep concern towards Akio, A.J made his advancement over towards Anansi, his hands in his coat pocket as he stared down the man for a brief moment.

"Geez you guys don't have to act like children once I'm gone. Next time I go out, i'll be sure to leave you with a more then confident baby sitter."

A.J joked around sparingly, a small announcement rang, and A.J took several steps over towards a near by wall, tapping one of the bricks, a small silver cell phone fell from the wall into his hand. A.J rested his ear against the device, talking into he waited for a reply, nodding every so often until hanging up the phone placing it back into the wall, were it seemed to vanish without a trace. Some people would claim that A.J had gone off the brink end, installing phones into the wall, and other secert gizmos that only he was aware of, but that was the perks of being a mafia boss, you could change things around to your favor without having to worry about the ramifications, unless of course you had someone after your life. It would be only a matter of time, before the sun guardian revealed himself to A.J, who at this time was more then ready to see what the latest members of his family could do. But that would have to wait, he would send word to each one on special missions or assignments, as time passed by, the one thing that he was really wondering about was where was the lightning Guardian, that he had invited to come join him. There was no use in looking for him at the moment, he was sure that he would reveal himself when and if the time required it.

One of the most pressing matters, would most likely be when and where A.J had been for the past couple of days, he knew that he should have warned them of his sudden disappearance from time to time, but that was to be expected of someone of his personality, he was known to disappear at the drop of a hat. A.J let out a brief sigh, as a monstrous growl could be heard from his stomach, he decided he would take a brief break and find himself something to eat in the kitchen.

-Exit to Kitchen-

As A.J entered into the Kitchen, his body covered in tatters from head to toe, he seemed to act oblivious to the more then worried looks that, he was receiving from his staff. He motioned over towards the head chef who brought out several different types of appetizers free to sample. A.J then asked for one of the near by butlers to notify the others of preparation of dinner. Tonight's meal would be especially important, seeing how it would give him a chance to see how everyone stood with one another at the present situation, most importantly, he would begin to start informing everyone of what exactly their purpose as a mafia family would be at that time, how ever he was clearly aware that some, if not all of the current members of his family had second thoughts about how strong A.J was as an actual person. Although he did not worry himself, with such trivial matters at this time, the feast was being set out before his very eyes, a stack of fried chicken, ribs, lobster, crab, various kinds of soup, and even dishes from exotic lands that he was sure his guardians would be more then familiar with. Tonight was going to be a feast fit for seven kings.
