Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Okay! Shox and Legretta to the new sniper's thread please!))

Skaro coughed violently as he was surprised to see Borgo, an old follower of one of his allied clans. Through the years since he has last seen him, it seemed that he had really risen up the ranks and grown up from being the spotty little brat of years before.

Legretta sat down cross-legged under the tall tree Skaro was perched in. She had been gone from the forest before the archer's final attack had even hit.
"You know the leader." She said in a bored tone, fingering a piece of the broken bow. The sky began to turn a shade of light purple and the stars were starting to go out; The sun would rise in a few minutes. She stole a glance back to the village and stood. Legretta looked at the bow in her hands once more. She dropped two of the main pieces, but kept one piece as she walked a short distance to stop and stare at it. Legretta smirked. This was going to be an interesting day.

A small shadow suddenly appeared in the field. For a moment it was still, but suddenly it took on a more solid form and raced up the tree trunk, stopping in front of Adun. A voice emerged from it. "Master? Master, is that you?" Then, without waiting for an answer, it jumped out of the tree and ran into the field again, jumping about as if trying to catch someone's attention. A sharp cry echoed out of the sky, and a figure materialized inside the shadow. The shadow returned to normality, and the figure threw out black wings and shook them as if stretching them. The figure was female, with long flowing black hair that glinted silver in the fading moonlight. Her skin, by contrast, was very pale yet somehow still tanned, and almost seemed to glow against the darkness of her wings and hair. Her eyes, when she looked up, were a burning gold. A shimmer of silver showed a thin band around her head, with a small black stone sitting on her forehead. She wore a very dark grey tunic and black breeches under a strange type of scaled armor that almost looked like thick patterned cloth. The armor - a sleeveless tunic, forearm bracers, and greaves - was black, but oddly so, as if it had been charred and burned. Having shaken out her wings, she leaped into the air and darted into the tree to balance on a branch in front of Adun. "Master!!" she cried. "Master, how could you leave me behind again?! Do you enjoy watching me wander around looking for you? By the White Wing, I scramble halfway around the world searching, to find that while I'm gone you've started another mission, fought off enemies, and gone into overdrive no less! What in sky happened to you?" She paused for a moment to breathe, and then suddenly commented in a completely normal, calm voice "Well, it's nice to see you again, Master. Do you mind if I come along with you on this mission? I've got nothing better to do, and I could use the practice..." and with that, she sat calmly down on the branch.

Kiria squeaked. "I can stay?! I can stay!" She jumped up happily, forgot she was on a branch, and fell out of the tree. Just managing to get her wings under her, she soared gracefully in a circle around the tree, perched herself in the highest sturdy branch, and promptly fell asleep, exhausted from the long journey.

Adun Looked down, he had been thinking heavily and had not noticed that it was morning. He saw Cat and said "it's not a good morning... it's just a morning". Cat should have known by now that he did not like mornings. He felt for his bow, but remembered that it had broken the previous night. Instead he put his right hand on his wrist and pulled back the sleeve, a black bracelet was there. He fingered it before shaking off any bugs on him and jumping down to the ground.

"Mmm... You're right. It's going to be a rainy day. But... This morning is nice. So it's a good morning." Cat smirked at him, and then noticed the winged girl perched in the tree. "Hey there! You a friend of AA's?" She said brightly. "You're a Laquri, right? Does that mean you can fly?" Cat continued on with an endless barrage of questions. Then she glanced around and saw that Legretta had gone about 20 feet from the tree and was standing, facing the village. Cat stepped closer to the tree, and her foot caught on something, sending her to the ground. She landed on the palms of her hands, and turned the fall into a handstand, and then landing back down on the opposite side on her feet. She turned to see what she had tripped on and saw AA's bow. Or, at least what was left of it. "Ah... Hey, AA, did you lose your bow..?" She said, picking up the two pieces and gawking at them rather disbelieving.
