Welcome to Gaia! ::

A few weeks passed, and though it seemed like it was forever, Ryo came back, this time, with family. The Evergreen Hououza landed on, followed by a sphere of wind, which contained four creatures, including two disgruntled Hououza, Natu and another, a marine/navy-blue one, Takato. The other figures were two Dragons, Metrid and Skybolt. Everett had flown alongside Ryo. Riddle landed beside the four who couldn't fly, made sure they were alright, then turned to Ryo.
"Alright, I'm off to see what's new, are you sure you're going to be fine? That man is still out there, and we don't know if he's in contact with the RubbaRogos."
"Yes Riddle, don't worry, we'll be fine."
With a twitch of his silver-blue tail, Riddle was off. Ryo turned to Everett.
"Find Raven and Hikaro and deliver those messages."
Everett hooted and took off, towards Hikaro's house.

Ryo took a look around, and tried to see if anything had changed before since he'd left. Takato convinced Natu to swing with him, and they took off to the swingset. Ryo looked down at the ground. He missed it here, and he was only able to stay here for a while, until he had to go back to Riverview.

Everett decreased his altitude and landed on the roof of Hikaro's home. He hopped down to the door and knocked on it with his beak, and left a message, then flew off again.

Natu stopped swinging and pulled out his chalkboard from the sack around his back. He grabbed the chalk, which was attached to a string, and wrote "Hello Hikaro and Haku."

Takato liked to swing, but he had a problem with stopping. His legs couldn't reach the ground. So he pushed himself farther into the air and jumped, catching some wind in his wings and glided to the ground below. Then he turned around.
"H-hi..."

Natu wrote below his greeting that that was Takato, a new Hououza that Riddle had recently adopted. He could use magic, but not much. He was still a child and Riddle was training him.

Ryo turned back to check on Natu and Takato. Though he was sure that Natu would try to protect Takato if any harm came along, he mustn't make too many predictions. He pushed a few branches back from the pine tree that grew to the right of him and saw his friends.
"Hikaro!"

((HOLY FRIGGIN CRAP IT'S DULCEA!!! Long time no see, eh?))

(( I seem to get that reaction a lot xd ))

Shiro paused, listening to the footsteps as they came closer. The slow pace reminded her of a waltz, though lately, everything reminded her of music. As she spotted the blonde boy, she yanked herself up onto a low branch, kicking her feet in the crisp air, "Hello there!"

Tossing her hair back behind her outspread wings, Shiro leaned down, holding her hand out to the child in what appeared to be a friendly invitation for a handshake. She did after all, remember some of what Kyuu had taught her when she was younger, "It's nice to meet you Carl, my name's Shiro and this is.. Well, I'm Shiro, my brothers are usually with me."

Carl hesitated for a while, then took the hand and shook it lightly.
"Nice name..." he mumbled, wishing he'd met her brother instead. He racked his brain for some small talk.
"Uh... are you from around here? I've never seen you around," he said, and then realized he was the only one who never went into the park, but too late.
