Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Heh, learned from the best. So, ready to get going?" She has a smile on her face, but there are tears at the edges of her eyes.

((Goodnight all.))

"My name is Arkayid Shiro, son of Auren and Alhana Shiro. I w--" Arkayid's head jerked up. and he scanned the trees around them. He looked down upon them. "I suggest you get moving. Now. There's something on the move, and you will most definitely not like it. There are others in this forest as well, and they don't know either. I must be on my way." With that, he dropped down and jogged past them, in the direction of Mimi and Maikon.

"Nah, just something in my eyes, that's all," Maikon replies while wiping her eyes. "C'mon! Let's go into town!" Maikon takes Mimi's hand and starts running through the forest heading towards town.

Arkayid finally found the two beings he was looking for in the forest. There were two of them, and one of them was heading in the direction he was coming from. Not even bothering to introduce himself, he bellowed at them while on the move.

"Quick! Come with me! There is no time!"

The essense of magic, and the many shouts woke up the attention of someone resting around. Rather than resting, just losing his time. He had done little effort lately, and he had no need of such. Gazing at the sky, resting at inns... spending money, that was his life. Nevertheless, he enjoyed traveling around. And he found himself in a strange situation. A group of people, seemingly rushing to find, or flee from something. He was used to that, and he could use the situation to his advantage. They suddenly sped up, gathering his attention once again.

Standing up on the branch he had slept just a minute ago, he proceeded to walk towards them, at a casual pace. Any faster, he could appear to be attacking, any slower, they would believe he was stalking them.

No mistakes would be nice.

((For some reason I'm awfully nervous about roleplaying here... was that a appropiate post?))

((Dun worry, 'twas indeed appropriate.))-spoof
Indeed-faith

"Yeah, I'm all good Mimi." Noticing Arkayid, she says,"Ah! Auren's son! I was to tell you a message that... I... forgot...Ah well! If you w ant us to follow, we will, I guess." Noticing Vrinn, she replies,"So, there's a beastie out to get us is there? I'll take care of it after I'm done with the Son of Auren. Kay?" Maikon now has one hand on her katana, just in case.

Arkayid practically exploded at being called the 'Son of Auren.' That sounded religious, and to tell you the truth, he didn't believe in gods, but he did believe in demons. His Mother had instilled that belief into him, and when he asked, she looked away with a far-off look, and said... "Because I have seen them, and they have touched my soul. They are quite real. Especially in Teir, where you can die because of one." Oh he bought it after he watched Mother defend a convoy of settlers against a horde, and helped them establish a safe base-camp, which became a major town.


Arkayid sighed, and his senses picked up the scent of two watchers, thinking they were hidden. Oh, he couldn't see them alright, but he could smell them. He pretended not to notice and returned his attention to the girl who had called him the 'Son of Auren.'

"First off. Don't call me that. I loathe that. Second, my name's Arkayid. Remember that, or I'll explode in your face. You will NOT like that. Third, this 'beastie' of yours can level an entire town on its own. I was helping track it when I noticed you were around. Hell. If it finds us. We're dead. Got it? Dead. I might be able to survive long enough only to crawl into a hole and die. That's how bad your 'beastie' is. Okay. You know what? You." Arkayid pointed at Mimi. "You. I designate you Hanna. And you. I designate you Alice. Names later. Unless you absolutely postiviely have to change it, I don't want to hear about it. Now we should get moving or---"


An earthshaking roar boomed from around the woods. Arkayid drew his sword, and anyone conversant in Draconian body langauge could tell he was damnably scared.

Mimi twitched a little "But master would be mad.." she murmured quietly
Stop talking silly...master is dead.

"Mr. Arkayid...are you...afraid...I'm sorry. What is this 'beastie' that's after us?" she asked and looked over at the new boy "Why would we hurt you Mr?" she asked in a confuzzled voice.
