Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shaking himself, Ranips moved along his eyes taking int he rust and decay of the world around him. As bad as things look in here he knew they were better than being out in the rain, as if on cue with his thoughts a flicker of fragment light appeared outside in the rain. With a heavy sigh he gave chase.

Dashing out into the rain he swiped and slipped in attempt to capture the tiny shard. Drenched to his core Ranips was about to give up on the shard but gave it one more try, this time pouncing onto the shard as it came in close to his body. Managing to tackle the fragment to the ground he wrestled it into his pocket, listening as it spoke to him in the rain.

Find the witch.

Find the witch? Blinking he pushed off the ground no longer able to stay out in the painful rain, it hurt him, just...he wasn't sure how. But it had become unbearable due to how long he had chased the silly fragment. Slipping back inside he took shelter in the subway.

It looked like she had no choice in the matter. Steeling herself, she made a break for it, ignoring the sting until she could make out flickering lights in the distant darkness.

I found myself at this place. I'm not sure how I found myself here, but that's not the main point of interest right now. No. I don't know what it is, but it calls for me.

As I walk closer and closer to the source, I find myself in a place resembling a subway. It can only be described as such. In the darkness, I see a pair of glowing eyes. Yellow eyes. I stood there, hypnotized by the fading lights. Soon enough though, the shadows clear away, revealing a person.

The goddess. The goddess of ruin.

As I near her, the darkness comes back. Panicked, I threw myself into her embrace. It was a warm one. The darkness grew bigger and bigger, almost swallowing us up. But I knew I was safe. Safe in her arms.

As she flew away, I felt something grow within me. Something a nice. A blessing.


BLESSING GET!

Her offer to Ryjer was still there, but the form's attention was not. It had drifted to the appearance of the glowing yellow Goddess, her Goddess, just in the distance. She couldn't help but turn on her heel and approach, drawn by the darkness and the questions, the tug of curiousity. The closer she got the darker it became, and Marati soon felt the tight, warm embrace of love and safety. Her body relaxed, her eyes closed, content to enjoy this strange ease---

And then she was cast out. The cold hit her, and soon so did the terror that came with something new. The bright lights of a place she didn't recognize. She started to cry - was that her cry? She couldn't tell. It sounded small, and dual-toned, and absolutely terrified. The wailing of something newly born and unhappy.

It was only the fold of wings that quieted her, easing her thoughts until the wailing sounds faded into nothing. This is old and gone. You were never meant to hold such a thing. It was reassuring to have that memory taken away from her, easing into obscurity and leaving nothing but an emptiness in the space that once held terror.

She felt safe again, and she felt blessed.



(( Fragments: 3/5 ))

The lights of the subway flickered off and with the darkness came a familiar glow of a fragment. Looking up to the light he moved a wet hand towards it and rose up, rest time was over. Starting after the fragment as the lights flickered on and off it took him what felt like forever to catch the shard. But when he did it too whispered something to him he didn't understand.

Floating again, why don't you sit.

Not dwelling on the words he moved on, looking for more.

Returning from her visit to the shrine, Remye was aware dimly of the subway becoming much darker than before. She looked around, realizing that the central image was that of a... A Goddess? Her Goddess?

For a long moment, she didn't move. She's frozen, either by beauty or awe or -- or something... Then she stepped forward, swallowing hard. The darkness seemed to be drowning around Remye, making her feel tiny and weak but safe, warm, at home.

Life. The miraculous beginning of life, of leaving a warm safe place and then being-- She was being held close, by the Goddess, her wings a warm safe blanket around her. Lamely, Remye blinked up at her, confused. What... old? Gone? What was she talking about? The feeling of safe, warm, protected, lingered long after she left the Goddess's embrace.

Without the memory in her mind, she only holds the blessing, a cherished event.

((Fragment: 5))

Her fifth fragment looked to be just out of reach. But then she got the bright idea of clambering up some of the stacked debris and jumping off to snatch it midair. She landed at the tail end of: transfer papers are set and caused a splash as she landed in a puddle.
