Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Yea, a new person, returning people, and all the elementals are meeting up.Could it be any better?))
Zack suddenly decided to switch to his wolf side and follow Lonesome. He stepped on rocks that he placed in the sky as he needed them to step on. He followed the wind one because he knew he could.

James knew what Zack was thinking and agreed on the trade-off. He sat down next to Erik as Zack left that spot. "What happened in the dream?" he asked Erik as he sat down. He decided to talk to Arabella mentally. He spoke loudly in his mind, Hey, Arabella, here's the plan. You need to keep everyone mentally connected and on the same wavelength, try it. Try to open everyone's mind to everyone's else's. It'll help with fights and other things when we all need to be on the same page. Zack's going with Lonesome, because he can keep up and I'm gonna out what's wrong with Erik.

Atrum's eyes snapped up to the now seething man. "Shut up Erik!" He said right after he told Arabella to get out of his mind. "Just because you're leading us doesn't mean you can cuss us out!" The light boy was sickening of Erik's constant mood swings, if he wanted something to stop, he could just freakin' say stop. "I don't care who your enemies are, we're nothing of the sort, so calm down." Arabella was a timid girl, there was no reason to be so harsh, so brash or so doggone mean.

"That handful of people are probably our enemies, so the only person out of the handful of people you've mentioned that can be rash and unnecesary is you." He huffed, not understanding why the man was like this to people that considered him an ally. That considered him a friend.
Looking away from the man in question, he almost missed him saying that he was going east alone.

Maybe Lonesome was right, maybe Erik was only using the elementals because they were useful against Saint Dane. In fact, Atrum was sure he wouldn't be helping them any other way.

Noticing the man shoot up into the sky she arched her eye brow and watched him until he disappeared into the horizon. Flight without wings? That is a rare thing to see. An argument between the group of people reached Auroras ears and now curiosity had gripped her. What could it hurt to take a look? She thought to herself while walking back in the direction the voices where. Using her staff she pushed tree limbs out of her way and stepped out into the open where the group was congregating. Looking from one to the other she examined them closely the only thing on her mind was she hopped she hadn't made a mistake. She did not speak or make her presence known other than being visable. Intruding on their conversation was something she did not wish to do for fear it would offend them.

((OOc: Thank you very much Morph it's nice to meet you. whee ))

(( You fell onLonesome's head, right Dreams? I'm sorry, whne you don't mention names I get confused ^^; ))

(( No problem, thanks for clearing that up c: ))

The blonde did notice the little bat that swooped down at him, but when it flew back up, it didn't come back. Apparently the animal had flown back out of sight, and Atrum hoped that it'd be alright... though, why did he get the feeling he knew the creature?
"Arabella?" He hoped she had caught the happening too, and maybe her element would be able to tell if that bat was someone they knew. Though Atrum only knew one vampire that wasn't in the forest with him, he wasn't completely sure that vampires even tured into bats in the first place.
"You catch that?" He asked, looking for any traces of the little bat that was quite possible Mizuki. But she, like Lonesome, and Zach, was completely out of sight.

When he looked over, he blinked, seeing another person casually walk towards the center of their little... gathering.
"Um, hi there. Who're you?" The boy looked toward the girl, his hair felt a twinge on end when she entered the little clearing, but... it wasn't because he felt threatened; but... something else?

He was on his way back to the camp he had made when something hit him on the head and hard. "What the hell?" he said as he lifted the bat off his head. He gently inspected the body of the bat to make sure it was alright. "You sure are lucky you didn't land on my horns." he said grinning. Placing the small bat within a inner pocket of his jacket; he knew that predators would take the unconcious creature as food and decided he would hold on to it just to make sure it was alright. As he flew over the camp he felt tension in the air. "Something happened while I was away." he said to himself as he noted the girl who had been hiding when he left within the camp. Then he noticed the elemental that had come with the "dead" guy was missing. Landing softly next to a lrage tree he walked into the camp.

"I apologize for my rudeness, but people who try to invade my mind don't get a kind reception. Anyway, I can tell you guys are getting angry at me. Not that it matters to me. After all, I will be leaving for a while. If we're lucky, you'll never have to see me again. Perhaps it's for the best." Erik figured that it was time to leave. Once again, his emotions had managed to help him alienate yet another group of people. He got up, and headed in an eastward direction. With every step he took, his heart grew heavier.
He had failed. Horribly. Without the elementals, there was no way he could beat Saint Dane. And it wasn't because Erik wasn't strong enough. Erik and Saint Dane didn't fight each other because during one of their last battles, they produced enough energy to level a planet. Neither Erik nor Saint Dane wanted to fight each other after that. Plus, only the elementals could get to those damm crystal shards. Erik shook his head. He was pathetic.

Atrum felt bad, watching Erik go. He didn't want the older man to leave, just to watch what he said. It really wouldn't take all that much effort to think of what he was about to say and who he was talking to. But if he had something to do elsewhere that was his buisness.
He hoped he'd be alright, and that whatever he was running off to do wouldn't get him killed... again. "Don't let him get hurt." He told his light quietly; hoping Aroura didn't see the little sparkle that appeared afterwards. Athough he knew his wish wouldn't do much. He wasn't the omni elemental afterall, blessings wern't his forte. But it sparkled anyways, it heard him. Atrum knew that it always heard him.
"No, you wern't intruding. It's nice to meet you Aurora." He said, looking back up to the newcomer. "I'm not quite sure of the name, but you're right outside of town. A couple miles really." Lately a couple miles was somethign to hope for.
"Are you looking for something?" He asked, wondering what would bring someone so deep into a forest anyways.
When Lonesome re-entered, Atrum waved, but didn't take his attention from Aroura. He'd ask Lonesome about what he saw later on.
