Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Do we have to give you guys Mana Sex 101 for you to understand?" Caster asked.

Caster nodded, "Alright. You see mana can be transferred from person to person through either siphoning or exchanging bodliy fluid. Now the exchanging could mean a blood transfusion or sex. Either way works.

If you want to take mana by normal means, then either just go and be a vampire or whore yourself out. Mana is considered life energy or in the terms of the eastern part of the world, chi. Of course there are two different type of mana. One is what keeps you alive and the other is the kind that allows for special abilities such as sorcery, alchemy, shapeshifting and others.

The stronger of the two is the life mana which is usually found in blood. The most consentrated version is a soul of a person. . . I can only assume that much. Souls are however quick to leave to capturing souls is tricky because of the tactic.

Now for the other type of mana it's also found in blood and also in bodliy fluid such as sperm or menstrual blood. Women have it tougher due to that time of month so. . . Yeah.

Alright, since a lot of pleasure could lead to spontanious energy during sex, it basically means that the exchange of mana is stable. The longer you screw around, the more mana you're giving to each other. Basically until both of your mana levels are evened out or the amount you need has been sutained, it's all out sex right there. No mana included unless of course you're a mana vampire then your partner might have some problems in the aftermath."

"Yeah. . . Symptoms ranging from a sore lower body to blood loss. Very rarely does the whole thing lead to death. . . ."

"Anything else you need to know about?"

"Well then. . . I suppose we have a truce for the time being correct?" Caster asked Rider.

Rider nodded, "Yes. But it seems that I am the weakest link."

"Eh? But you're one of the most mobile classes there is. What's wrong?"

" . . . . I'm a mother."

"About three months ago. When I summoned her she was pretty big already. A few hours later and she was in labour, thus Beth." Michelle explained.

Rider nodded, "Therefore I have a limited range of how far I can stray away from my daughter. But this event makes it impossible for me to stay with her if I don't win."

"I'll make you stay if I win." Berserker offered. "I don't have any wish to make anyways."

"Wasn't your wish to live a little longer?" Caster asked.

He twitched, "Fate thinks it's funny to see me die over and over again. I don't need to play myself like that for the time being."

((Fast forwards!!))

At night. . . .

Penn had his head down on the floor between the other two older theraquads. The color of his scales/skin had been paled from lack of eating but then again, most theraquads don't eat without their pack.

There was a large explosion outside. Then there was something that sounded like several machines that were set off. The war was on!

It was Berserker against Archer. Archer being the one with the whole lethal projectiles firing at him. Amazingly, Berserker was able to outrun most of the projectiles aimed at him.

Caster was up against Assassin in another part of the town. She lashed out her arms and turned them into living watery whips. Well it should be easy to attack a samurai with lighting fast sorcery right? Wrong. He moved just as fast, he was an Assassin class.

Rider clashed against Beliar. They were both melee users so it was sort of even grounds. However, Rider was the one resorting to hit and run tactics.
