Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rayne watched Noyuki while she talked with Yuri. She wondered if things could ever go back to the way they were; peaceful. She sighed.

"Wherever Mr. Happy is taking us." Rayne couldn't hide her laughter. Strider was quite the turn-off, when it came to having fun, it seemed to her "We're going to a city."

"Why, thankyou for noticing. It's so very kind of you." She bowed slightly, smiling herself.

(( gah i'm out of ideas. lol sorry.))

(( let's let strider or the other guy post. ))

(O.O.C. Whoa, didn't think it would be that big. Sorry.)

"Wait a minute," Konjou began, "There was a forest next to Noyuki's house, right? We've been on this path for a while, and it doesn't seem like we're getting any closer to it." Konjou looked around, and asked, "Maybe there's someone else screwing with us?"

As the mist disappeared, Konjou noticed that the opening of the forest was as far away as it was when they had first started. They were only a few meters away from Noyuki's mansion. "Okay, then," Konjou said, walking forward a bit, feeling around. He started running towards the forest, but it didn't seem to get any closer. He was still right next to the group. "Finally noticed, did'ja?" A cheerful voice said. Suddenly, the scenery began to bend and melt. As the path disappeared and the mansion disappeared, a stadium rose up out of the ground. It was circular, with four feudal era-style gates at four opposite points of the stadium.

"Welcome to my world," the voice said, as a man appeared. He looked fairly young, with curly brown hair that went down to his large brown eyes. He wore pentagonal glasses, a brown button-down shirt, brown pants, a belt with various pouches attached, and a cape. "My name is Gwydion, but, I'm sure some of you already knew that. As he said this, a gigantic wall rose and surrounded the circumference of the stadium. At the fore gates, the wall crumbled and became tunnels, each with notably different characteristics. The northern-most tunnel was dark with torches that lit the way, the southern-most was bright with crystals bedazzling the ceiling. The western-most was green with fresh-smelling grass and flowers lining the walls, and the eastern-most was pitch black.
"What is this?" Konjou asked, looking back at the group. "This is my imagination," Gwydion said, smiling. "You see, I get bored every now and then and decide to come up with some neat tricks. Just after I finished this illusory world spell, Master suggested that I test it out on some pesky flies." "So this is all an illusion?" Konjou asked. "That, and more," Gwydion said.

"I heard that," Gwydion said, appearing next to Rayne. He smiled and punched her in the arm, saying, "Haven't seen you in a while! What, a couple years or so? What are you doing here?" Konjou glared, disappointed. What is this, a family reunion? He thought.
