Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gia stirred every so often in her sleep, till finally eyes would open. She couldn't move yet, as body still had to recover. Her eyes had recovered their luster, but she didn't try to get up just yet. She'd just lay there in a way that seemed uncomfortable to her, but she didn't complain as movement didn't even happen. She couldn't even move her arms. All her energy had been spent in casting spells to either aid others or in fighting, thus taking from her physical energy as well. "How...long have I been out..?", Gia's voice came out as she only looked now in the direction her body laid in now. Gia didn't know what occured, or even if she spoke anything while she slept. Gia eventually would figure that she was riding upon a wolf's back, just by the softness of the fur. She'd try to move her fingers to pat Damon with thanks, though that was all she really could do for him at the moment.

After some time, Seirei's aura returned, barely noticeable but it was there now. His skin didn't look so pale anymore and his hair was once again slightly transparent. Soon after his aura returned Seirei awakened, feeling himself being carried he turned his upper body into mist, his legs falling to the ground and landing as the rest of him reformed, his aura blinking once. "I see the queen is dead," he muttered, holding his head as the use of energy was dizzying.

Just then it dawned on him. He wasn't in pain. I used my full power, my body should be screaming in pain but it's almost perfectly normal... Who healed me? he thought, knowing that this was someone else's doing, not his. He looked around for Liah, she was the one he passed out in front of so she would know what happened. Upon spotting her he waited for her and those around her to catch up. "Hey, alive and well I see," he said to everyone as they passed. He turned and started walking with them. "Anybody notice who healed me?" he asked, his eyes moving around the group.

"I see...I doubt I'll be able to move for some time....That second burst on the healing spell took what energy I had to move out of me..." Gia felt she had to apologize, but it was the truth. Her body couldn't move at all because her energy truly was taxed to its extremes. She shouldn't have even tried to use the spell a second time, especially since it is considered a massive spell by all terms. It was one she had been learning with the help of the golden dragons at the isle she lived on, but she was still learning to use it multiple times. Gia tried to remember something about the spell that made it so dangerous to try more than the two times she could successfully use it, before remembering why. She never could use it past the two times. She'd end up dying if she tried to use the mass spell a third time. "I'm just glad everyone is alive.."

Seirei nodded with a knowing grin. "Yeah, that happens when I'm drained. my powers come from my spirit... so when I'm out of power my spirit's hardly there," he explained, hoping it made sense. He knew how he worked, as far as he knows at least, but telling others isn't the easiest thing. "Sorry I didn't get a chance to explain earlier," he added a moment later. He looked over to Gia and Sintariun who were both exhausted too. "Thanks for that you two, it really was helpful," he said with a nod.

As they left the clearing, Jason arrived and found himself in a carnage of dead creatures everywhere. "... How long as I gone?" Jason looked around, trying to spot some sign of where they headed off to. Jason looked in the skies as well, trying to figure out where they all headed off too by way of Liah's hawk friend. Jason then felt alone... The same feeling he had when he first was thrown out of his home. Jason managed to spot that hawk high in the air towards his left and then headed after the ground, looking at the carnage they left.

((Unfortunately, I will not catch up at this time. I'm leaving for my grandfather's tomorrow as it seems he may not have long to live... I'll be back around Sunday Afternoon...))

"I had a feeling you would be when I collapsed but I wasn't conscious long enough to tell you not to worry," he said in a nervous tone. "At least now you know not to worry," he added with a nervous laugh. When I really die, believe me, it won't be pretty... he thought, having been with someone who was of his race when they died. It was a very bad experience, since the spirit that made him a fuzenma was released and it wasn't a kind one. Most were, otherwise they wouldn't still be here in this world. "You'll know if I'm dead. It won't be normal."

((Oh wow...crappy post...sorry everyone.))
"Oh." Said Liah, her eyes wide with both fear and curiosity. She wondered what Seirei meant by "not normal" but decided not to ask. Just then, Damon's voice sounded in her head.

'There's someone in the trees above us.' His voice was low but not urgent. That's all he said.

Roe grunted quietly as Ramiel looked up at her. She refrained from throwing him a rude gesture, what in the hells was he looking at, anyway? Yeah sure, she'd helped out a little, what else did he want? Bloody fire lizard.... It didn't surprise her too much that someone sensed her, the group was varied and talented and it was bound to happen but Ramiel was right, if she'd meant them harm, she wouldn't have helped out. As they moved away, she felt an odd tugging in her chest. She shifted uncomfortably on her perch but the sensation didn't abate. Shaking herself, she stood and turned, determined to head in the opposite direction....except her body wasn't cooperating.

With a frustrated growl she sat down again, the feeling in her chest almost painful now, "Fine!" She snarled under her breath and launched to the next branch in the direction the group below was taking.
