Welcome to Gaia! ::

Relena moved down the hallway as it when down to the back side of the tree. A set of door came in view with a dragons flying across to the frames. She opened the door and step in gaping at what she saw.

It was the kitchen alright but it was four time a big as their farm house. In the carved out tree truck rested this huge kitchen. A kitchen with it own river running through the middle it. She walked up to the room her eye followed the direction of the flow. The river flowed out the back side the tree where flowed like a waterfall. A bridge made of branches like ones they had seen when the first enter gave access to the other of the river. The kitchen itself was next to door and seem relative the same as some fancy inn. A stove, furnace, sink, and other odds and ins.

It wasn't until Wanda called her over to the other side of the bridge that she saw what all the large space was for. She stepped on to the cool damp soil and stopped by Wanda side. The before rest a garden full of vegetables, herds, other sorts. Small fruit, nuts, and other types of tree frame the edges of the garden. Relena looked up to see a huge hole to let in the light for the garden and water when ever it rained. The garden had a little of everything. There were something she did even recognize! She walked along the pathways the lead to all the varies beds. She stopped at tomato bush her father could only dream of growing to such a size. She held a tomato still attached to its vein. It was perfect. No bad spot or bugs. Ripe and ready for eating.

Relena looked over to her sister, "It must have taken years to do this. I never image a garden and trees could be planted in a tree...without hurting it!" She looked around remembering all that they had seen, "How is this possible...any of it!"

Relena straigthen and looked around. She couldn't see any sign of meat. She hoped th elves were not vegetarians. She walked back over the bridge and looked at the kitchen. There wasn't any storage space. All the tools were place in view. The stove was placed to wall with a iron vent going into the tree trunk. A large pile of wood was next to bread and slow food cookers. A table made from a small tree truck sat in the middle of kithen in the shape of a horse shoe. A few shelves were built into the wall. They had bowls and other assorted things she did recognize.

At this rate she was going to need a week of training just on what was what and how to use it! She walked over to the shelves and pick up what looked like a glass cup to her. It had odd marking with numbers parallel to the marks. She ran her finger over the marks, "What is this used for I wander. Never seen anything like it before."

She placed the glass object down and looked at the rest. Something she recognise from what fancy dwelling had but since was a daughter of a poor farmer it was rare to have glass cup. Usually everything was made of wood by your own hand. Relena looked at her sister, "I think before the night is over we are going to make a fool of ourselves."

The evles were far more advance than them in many things. They probably looked at the girls that their educations levels were not that high due the poverity they had lived in all there lives. It was going to be hard to play catch up and learn so many new things that did have any relation to the dragons.

((continued from Hadarack Desert))
Ryu continued to walk. He had walked the last ten miles through the Hadarack Desert and had finally made it to the forest area. He kept walking through the forest, not knowing where he was, what he was doing or why he was still walking. His mind blanked out after the first five miles walking through the desert on foot. His cognitive thinking was shut down, in a sel-defense manner to help him manage the walk. He had been moving through the forest, still completely dressed in his desert gear, even though he was safe in the shade of the forest. It wasn't until 2 miles intot he forest that his legs simply gave out on him. No amount of determination or will-power was going to help him now. His body was pushed past its limit, and now it needed a break. Ryu fell down, flat on the ground, he just lied there, barely alive.

Ryu staggered to get up. "Where am I?" His hair shifted to one side as he staggered to stand up, reveling his left ear which was slightly pointed. "What's going on here?" Ryu looked around and completely ignored the elfs but was awestricken by the forest. "I'm out of the desert. I'm out of the desert." Ryu began laugh but was cut off by the elfs.

Ryu stood up immediately, accidently brushing up against Relena, causing him to blush a little. "Listen I don't know what is going on here, But I just traveled across the friggin' Hadarack Desert alone, and I don't plan on dying yet." Ryu turned to Relena. "Thank you for saving me." Ryu bowed slightly before turning back to the elfs. Listen I ain't no traitor dammit! And wy would I bring your heads to the King? That guy is a freaking @$$hole!" Ryu let his fifty pound bag slide off his shoulders on land on the ground with a thud. "I don't know who you are, or who you think I am, but you've obvisiously got the wrong idea." Ryu said accusingly.

Ryu freaked out as he was pinned to the ground by Relena. "What the heck is that thing?!?!" Ryu gluped as the dragon rose to its full height. "What's going on here? Why are they trying to kill me?"

"Dragon rider? But dragon are supposed to be only a myth and... look what saying as a dragon walks behind me." Ryu said realizing how dumb he sounded. He took notice that relena was still holding his hand and started to blush. He pulled his hand to himself. "I-I can follow you just fine." Ryu said before he grabbed his bag. Ryu followed the girl closely, less someone tries to cut his head off again. "Listen, I'm very dehydrated, I think I might be hallucenating. You wouldn't happen to have any water would ya?" Ryu asked, figuring that it'd be better to rehydrate before asking question about the situation.
