Welcome to Gaia! ::

Derek heard a small noise and looked up to see a metal...cat...thing above him. Now, while before, he would have seen it simply as it was, now he was able to see the interactions of the natural "threads" upon the creature and how the various pieces of the metallic limbs were held together.

This did not change the fact, however, that he was quite surprised by the figure. With a startled "Gwah!", Derek stumbled backwards into the table.

Derek stared at this man. Now that he had time (and more light) to examine this...being...he was amazed by some of the binding interaction. At this point, Derek's experience with high technology was limited at best. Therefore, the appearance was stunning on two different levels. For one, there was a metallic cat thingy with limbs and extremities of metal. On another was the interactions between the metal limbs and the actual body and the binding elements that worked to hold the whole thing together.

Eventually, Derek spoke the first question on his mind. "What are you?"

"The name's Derek. I've come to stay here recently. Probably you just haven't seen me since I've been holed up in my room pouring over my notes. What exactly are you a guardian for?

How amazing! A golem that actually seemed to possess some self will and awareness. Derek had heard of such creatures, but never seen one. What an amazing opportunity to study it!

Magic Derek knew, so when the golem appeared behind him, he was less surprised than when he'd initially seen it. However, now he had aparantly found a self-aware golem that could use magic. What an awesome discovery!

"Yep. I'm human. You, I can tell, are not. Who made you? And how?"

Tegral's boots scratched up the walk way of the dojo, both his metalic arms wrapped in bandages or atleast strips of cloths that would serve as bandages. He didn't care who saw, or who knew, but the last thing he wanted was some suped up god killer to come up and pick a fight with an unfinished weapon. For that was what Tegral was, a weapon designed to hunt and to kill. At the moment, however, he didn't want to hunt or kill, he just wanted some information. Data would be a better way of describing it, really.

He could come and go as he pleased, and no one would really try and stop him, yet he felt warry entering the dojo. Too many people, who decided they could piss on the devils head and get away with it, came to the dojo to sit around and act like bad asses hideing in some shadow or up in the rafters. What made Tegral curious was just what did they think they would accomplish by hideing up there? He could see in the dark, he could see their heat signatures (or lack there of). It was pointless! His thoughts continued like that as he entered the main chamber of the dojo and paused to look at Derek and Damien.

"Sairys, eh? Does she come around here often?" Derek was quite interested. Before gaining the orb, he had never been on the level of golem making. Now, however, he might be able to give it a shot. If he talked to this Sairys, he might get a few tips.

Then, this new person entered. Turning to face him, he saw that his arms had some had odd binding relations within it, though. This orb had been more of a gift than Draeken could have known. To this new entry, he said a simple "Hello there. Can I help you with something?"
