Welcome to Gaia! ::

Roxy smiled. "Ooo. A flower, where?" She searched the sky for any signs of a flower in the sky. "Hmmm...." She shrugged her shoulders in defeat. "I give up!" She threw her hands up in frustration. "I can never find anything anyone else sees!!!" She pouted and glared at the sky, shaking her fist at the clouds. "Darn you!" She laughed and snorted, blushing at the same time. "Oh my gosh! I just...snorted." She covered her face with her hands, the burning of her cheeks warming her hands.

Roxy blushed even darker when he took her hand and pointed to the flower cloud. "Meh....it looks more like a pumpkin to me..." She squinted her eyes to try and see the flower, but alas....it didn't work. "Oh well." She sighed and blushed darker still. "Well......I do it all the time, but I try not to in front of people....I really hate it. It's so embarrassing. And it happens at the most inoppurtune moments!" She sighed and shook her head. "Oh well..." She smiled as the bright sunlight washed through her body, cleasning her of any tense muscles.

"This place....is wonderful. I didn't know a place such as this could exist." Her features slowly darkened. "The world isn't a very bright place right now...if there were more places like this....the world might actually be worth something..." Roxy shok her head of these thoughts and blinked in confusion. "Whoa, I have no idea where those thought came from..." She rolled over onto her side and smiled at Ryuu. "So, Yuu-kun...tell me about yourself." She put on her infamous, or so her father had said, puppy pout. "Pwease?"

Roxy's eyes widened in morbid fascination. "You were a member of Chronos?" Her eyes lowered slightly and she sat up, hugging her knees to the chest. "And you don't remember your parents..." She trailed off and looked out at the empty space over the cliff. The atmosphere seemed to be heavier now. "I didn't really know my parents either...They were killed in a raid when I was very little...my uncle took me in after that, and told me that it was an organization called Chronos that had killed them..." She trailed off once again and closed her eyes.

"I knew nothing of this organization....and I believed him. I trained hard to try and take revenge for my parents." She looked down at Ryuu, her eyes darkened to a dark blue again and she now spoke with anger behind her voice. "I wasted those years away...mourning, fighting. And then one day I found out that it wasn't the organization Chronos, but the very man who had been raising me, that organized the raid. He was a bad guy who had wanted to manipulate me and use me to overthrow this organization. Everything I knew seemed to fall apart around me...my home, my life up to that point. It had all been a lie. I didn't know what my purpose was anymore." She laid her head down on her knees and sighed. "So...I killed him. I killed my uncle in a fit of insanity and pain. After it was all done and over I couldn't believe what I'd done. I'd murdered my last family member. It didn't matter that he had murdered my parents in cold blood. It was still I who had killed him. A child of only 12 years...." She picked her head up and laid back down and shrugged. "So I ran away. I ran away from my problems and ended up being taken in by a kind family who treated me as one of their own, much more than I deserved. I suffered from memories of that night for years until I realized something. It was in the past, and nothing could be done about it now. I didn't forget what had happened, but I didn't dwell on it anymore."

She smiled and looked at Ryuu. "And then I was accepted here, and I've met so many wonderful people who have all changed me a little bit inside. This place is my zion....my heaven." She looked up at the fluffy white clouds again. "And I'll protect it with everything I have in me."

Roxy sniffled and then lunged herself onto him, burying her face in his chest while she cried. "I'm sorry that I was gonna kill you when I was little!!" Her small frame shook with every sob, her raven locks waving with every shudder. "I'm so sorry I believed him. If I hadn't of found out....I would've been trying to kill you!!" She sobbed even harder, letting the tears escape freely. "And I'm sorry for getting your shirt wet!" She pulled back and curled around herself. "I'm sorry..."

Roxy blinked, the tears gone from her eyes. "Whoa..." She shook her head. "Of course I wouldn't attack you, not now atleast. But the fact that if I would've gone on living my life in blind fury I would've killed you immediately...that fact makes me no better than my uncle." She leaned in to his hug and smiled. "But I guess you're right. It's in the past..." She forced out a giggle and pasted a fake smile on her face.

"You know...you could teach me a few things about water manipulation. It happens to be my weakest controlled element." She placed her hand out, palm down, and slowly turned her hand over. A bubble of water slowly formed over her palm, hovering ever so slightly. She picked up her other hand, running it very lightly over the surface of the water. A few minutes later she pulled it away and the bubble was shaped into an exact replica of the huge tree. "See? I can do this..." Immediately the bubble dispersed and the water splashed into her lap. Roxy pouted and wiped off her inner thighs with her hand. "But I can't hold it for very long."

Roxy blushed and nodded. "Ok." She made the signs with her hands and felt Ryuu's power fusing with her own. Warmth spread throughout her body as she felt the power rushing out of her. "Wow..." She gasped. It felt incredible! "How?" She looked at Ryuu quizically. "How is this even possible?" She stares in awe at the brilliant water display in front of her. The water droplets were dancing for goodness sakes!!

Roxy stared for a few more seconds before smiling and nodding. "Let's try it!!" Her mouth fell open and she blushed a dark crimson. "Me, faint because of you? Ha!" She laughed and winked at him. "If anything you should feel honored to be allowed to HOLD my hand." She giggled and ran a hand through her raven locks. "Because I'm special like that!" She did a pose with her hand behind her head, her other hand on her hips, and her lips puckered. "I've always wanted t do that." She chuckled. "Anyways, let's do this!"
