Welcome to Gaia! ::

A darkly clad man wearing a hood and a mask and carrying a book was strolling along as he usually did, in search of something new to learn. He came across a meadow and a man in a black robe doing some gathering. Curious, he wandered over to the man, but said nothing, the book gripped tightly to his chest with his right arm.
He stood, watching the man perform his gathering.

Ted watched as the beam of energy hit him, and it encountered an even stronger barrier than before. This must be to prevent magic from getting in any other way than normal, he thought, as the force of the beam was pushing him back.

Then, suddenly, the barrier winked out of existence, leaving the beam to go straight into the gem. This caused some arcs of electricity and fire to wrap around the gem randomly, but Ted was unable to release his grip. Cracks started to appear in the surface, and the magic inside started to build in intensity.

The gem finally shattered, and flares of magic took shape on the ground surrounding Ted. It took shape into a spell form that Ted was well versed in, considering it was one of the most advanced that his magic teacher had tried to teach him. Fire started to rise from the spell, and Ted got off one thing before being engulfed. "Oh, s**t."

The cocoon surrounded him entirely, then with a sudden, controlled explosion, all that was left was some ash and the fragments of the gems. Ted was gone.

(ok I'm ready to rp with you, I"m back)
The black robed man bent down to wipe his hands on the dew covered grass to clean the blood from them. After drying them on his robes he took off his backpack and opened it. He reached in and struggled for a moment then pulled out a small folding stool, then a alembic, then a mortar and pestle, and so on until the table barely had enough room for his hands. He reached into his pocket, took out the rat head and began removing it's teeth.

Netas' claws dug into the floor with a high-pitched grating sound as she growled; she was VERY unhappy about the news.

Netas paced about anxiously as she growled low to herself, images of Ted being ripped apart by herself and Osiris flashing into her companion's mind. The thought of chasing him down and the scent and taste of blood riled her up pretty good.

Netas looked up to Osiris, her lips curling back over her many sharp teeth in a terrifying animalistic smile. She paced about, her claws purposefully scratching and clanking on the floor before she spotted one of Twilight's many replacible minons; most of them looked like deformed goblins or ogres to Netas, but not now. She saw Ted and the firey rage within her flowed through her muscles, easily sending her bounding across the floor towards the innocent target. Her teeth sank into the rotten flesh and through bone with a satisfying crunch. But it wasn't enough; after a series of horrendous shrieks and angry snarls Netas had successfully mangled her prey to death, leaving the body unrecognizable in any way.

Netas lifted her head to look at Osiris with a piece of rotten flesh hanging from her bloody mouth. Her tail lightly flicked before she slowly turned her back on the bloody pile, padding towards Twilight's thrown.

(sorry I keep posting so far apart)
After the black robed mage had removed all the rats teeth, he scooped them into his hand from the table then tossed them into the mortar along with some motherworg sprig. Picking up the pestle he began to grind the ingredients together. Once he grinded them into dust, he set that down and started the burner on his alembic. Smiling at his work going as planed he reached into a pocket and pulled out some sea salt, he then flicked the salt into the fire; a huge flame encircled the alembic for a few moments then died down to it's original size. He poured 2 ounces of honey and 4 ounces of water into the alembic. Once that came to a boil, he tossed in the ground up rat teeth and motherwort sprig. The black mage sat back and watched his work. Three minutes later he turned of the burner and poured the bubbling teal liquid into a large vial. He place the vial in one of his pouches, then packed up his alchemey set, making sure to clean everything first.
