Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh..... uh.... *TJ really didn't expect such an explanation of internal conflict..... especially one he would have such little baring on. It's not like he could affect Than that much in this area. He sighs and stays silent*

Tj: *nods* All right.....don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it..... I'll do what I can.... which doesn't seem to be much -.- *He turns and heads off*

Axl: nnnn.... *Aeris had taken off a little while ago. Axl wished she could have talked to Than, but it couldn't be helped. He followed Twi out* That could have gone better

TJ: no kidding....

*Nana makes her way into the garden, trying to find cover just in case the man decided to come after her again. She makes her way deeper into the garden, past many trees and ponds; ammo*

<.<;;

>.>;;
Nnn...! Where...?

*The image of the man from the morning cross her mind... and then later before finding herself in the forest again... She wanted to see him again, but she had no clue where she was, or him for that matter. He had called her Nana, and so she imprinted that as her name, just as she'd imprinted him into her mind. In all the comossion another thought snaps into her mind, she'd never caught a bird as she wanted to earlier. Now it was becoming dark, she didn't like this at all, and now she was becoming scared. Lost, injured, dumped off, followed... She still had one shot, so she'd have to give it a go. Again Nana sets off casting a spell, her eyes beginning to reflect what little light there was left*

"Oh seeds of the earth, come hither and gather...
Become a living blanket, and stand in my foe's way...
Lash out, and bind him in your several hands...
Vine and grass, tree and root come to my aid...
Life Wall!"


*A small green orb forms in Nana's hands and she lets it sink into the ground. All the plants in the Garden would try to stop Sho form proceeding, and anyone else for that matter for at least a few minutes. Creating barriers, and trying to trip him up* Nana makes her way farther into the garden, knowing it would slow the man should he enter*

*All the trees reminded her, of the place she'd been in the morning, before leaving the strange city. The trees there were barron and covered in light snow. Nana liked snow, she knew that much. More goosebumps raised up on her arms as she heard the sneeze echo through the garden. There where giant hunks of earth removed from certain places, an earlier fight perhaps. Now was the time to act! Nana thinks of that other garden from before and starts to cast her portal spell. Due to the barrier however she'd end up outside the barrier, but facing the right direction at least. After a minute of casting a portal opens, and Nana books it threw. She may not have known where it was, but she could see it in her head, and that's all that really mattered*

>o<
Huuah!

*The portal closes a few seconds after Nana is threw. Now she was outside the citadel*

Crystal stormed out into the garden as she gripped the Rune tightly in her heand. she was angry and felt betraied by Fochtes actions. She paced back in forth as she thoguht about going to the citadel to see if Tyrsais was around to talk wtih.

Crystal looked over to Terr as she came to a stop. Staring as him she stuffed the rune into her pocket.

"Let me guess... FOcht sent you to bring me back ot teh dojo or to keep me away from the Citadel?"

She asked in in a rough voice.

"Oh.. I'm sorry. It's a good place for that. I.. er.. 9-lives used to come here all the time. The pond is nice and the lake is great for a swim"

Crystral said as she turned her back to him.

"Have we met? Or did you know 9-lives?"

"I have her memories."

She replied as she slowled her pace some.
