Welcome to Gaia! ::

"True, but if we did we'd only have enough presents to give to half of the human and none of any other race." Santa said and sighed. "We don't have unlimited stuff like most people think we do over here."

Petra pulls back, with a petulant expression on her face. She'd heard how kindly Santa Claus was, but he seemed to be playing favorites. Perhaps if the goblins hadn't been left out... but then there wasn't any concrete evidence that goblins had done anything; however, signs seemed to point to them.

She looks around at the doors. "Which should we open?" she asks, directing the question at Kail, but open to anyone's suggestions. She wasn't much of a leader, and preferred to follow others.

Vincent, silent till now, spoke up in agreeance of Kail's plan. "We should, as they say, follow the trail. It just happens that the trail is blood..." Vincent crosses himself while praying silently, "May these poor, innocent souls rest in eternal peace, Amen."

Though the door that the dead bodies were lying in front of led to a big room. In the big room there were many machines that were all inactive. The room was decorated with white lights hanging from the ceiling and garland all around the walls. The garland and white lights were still in perfect shape and untouched. On the ground were many papers scattered around. There was another room to the left and the door was opened.

"Yes Gerbo, we do have another Gnome in the house. But-" Santa said, but was cut off by a cute little girl elf. She walked out from the door to the left.

"But currently that idiot got himself lost again." She said and rolled her eyes. "Oh, and if you're looking for the high elf, Santa, he's hiding in the storage department in a corner. He's currently curled up in a corner, rocking like a baby, like always." She said and sighed. "Why did you have to pick James to be the high elf? Why not I?" She said and sighed. "But no...you like he better. Well, if I was high elf I would have told the elves to stand their ground and not to let that goblin army and that blue giant steal all of the stuff, even if it cost us all of our lives."

"Yukia, you know that the other elves don't share the trait of being able to use magic like you can. The other elves would get killed if they weren't told to evacuate. What would this factory be like if all of you guys were killed?" Santa said to Yukia.

"Well, if we were all killed you could always hire more elves, or you could hire these new people. Or you could get robots?" Yukia said and smiled. "But still, you'd have me alive!"

Santa sighed. "That's not the point...I don't want to have to hire new people. All of us are a family, haven't I told you that too many times?"

"Well, yes...but a family should stand up for what is right and fight for it!" Yukia said and smiled.

Santa sighed and shook his head. He turned back to the adventurers. "Sorry guys about her, she's a little stuborn."

"AM NOT STUBORN!" Yukia screamed at Santa.

"Are too..." Santa said and sighed.

Yukia put her arms together and grunted. "Are not..."

"You are Yukia, and you even know it." Santa said and chuckled. "You always did look like a little child when you are angery."

Yukia let down the angery look and sighed. She sook her head and decided it was best to be quiet now.

Yukia turns to Fury. "Ah, someone from the outside finally decided to talk to me." Yukia said happily. "Well, there was a big blue giant and many goblins of all types. I was able to kill some goblins, also blast a pretty nice whole in the giant making a piece of its skin fall off. The part with a G fell off! That giant went running back to its mother and the goblins followed!" Yukia smiled proudly. "Or, at least I think it ran back to its mother, if it has a mother? Well, it ran off somewhere. I tried to follow, but another elf grabbed onto my leg and pulled me into the storage room..." Yukia sighed. "Those little elves are stupid for not allowing me to follow. I could have made another dent in it if I was given the chance and we would still be doing our work...but no...they said 'If you follow that thing you'll get killed. Stay here, we don't want to see you die because you're part of our family and we love you.'" She rolled her eyes. "Well, the big blue giant left this room with its goblin army. Some goblins were green and some were black. First time I saw black goblins, though." She said. "Well, is there anything else you want to know, noble adventurer?" She said to Fury in a happy tone of voice. She was happy because someone other than Santa or another elf was actually giving her some attention.

"Metal?" She said and looked at Bellamin with confusion. "What do mean by metal? How could my raid of fireballs, energy blasts, and twin blasts make some metal break? I mean- those spells aren't too strong. How could my spells break through metal?"

Vincent, having brooded over what Yukia had said, finally shook his head, "Metal giant or not, we will find the culprits and bring them to a much deserved justice...no wonder they don't get any presents." Vincent looked around and thought again on Yukia's words, "I say we try to find this head elf and see what he has to say. And Yukia, thank you for your emmence help. Your information on the assailents will prove very useful. As for your blue, metal giant...well, let's see it take one of my blows. I'll fell every last one of those vial creatures for their deeds!"
