Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryo pointed to the person sitting next to him. "I'm right here, er, Hikaro. And Ryo, it's not polite to point," Riddle said. "Oh, right. Sorry," Ryo said.

"Erm...a little. I remember torture, lots of it, and burning. When people found my feather, I was stuck in a dark spot, where no moonlight could hit it. I don't know how long I was a feather, but I was one. And I remember torture from that stage," Ryo said. Then he held up his hand. "Riddle says I was born with this scar. I wonder if, as a feather, the torture and oppresion the people of my village, affected me and gave me my scar?" "It's okay Hikaro, I don't really care. I point all the time!" he said, laughing. "Now, as Ryo said, he was born with the scar, which is true. And his feather was found in a dark spot. But we aren't really sure how long he was a feather, or if he did witness oppresion, the history of the Hououzas are a mystery to us humans, and even to those who can see the past," Riddle said.

((Good night Chegrin!))

Hikaro had thought long on what Ryo said, but he had to leave the park. So as he said his goodbye, He slid down from the tree.
"I don't mind the scar at all, Ryo." He said, before scampering off.

But that was many days ago.

He was back again, this time with his younger brother, A tan skinned redheaded boy with blazing midnight blue eyes. Chegrin took his normal post on a park bench as the two boys ran off to play.

Distracted by his new novel, he did not notice the woman he sat next to had a pink feather in her posession. He cracked open the book as Hikaro and Raissen played in the sand.

Hikaro heard his name called out and sat upright. However, all that could be seen was his blonde head, as the two boys had been making a sandcastle as tall as they were.

Raissen was hidden from view as he dug out under the castle to make it taller without tampering with the walls. From the main gate great handfulls of sand were emerging, forming a sort of mountain.

Hikaro fluttered out of the building and waved to Ryo and Riddle. "Hey! It's good to see you!" He called, smoothing down the mountain.
"Wanna help?"

"Thanks!" Hikaro said, giggling to himself "I couldn't have done it without my little brother...OH!" He cried,
"Raissen, you need to meet Ryo. Come on out!"

At this a little red head poked out. Raissen looked over and smiled at Ryo, and gave a little wave.
"Nice to meet you." He said quietly, before ducking back inside and spraying Hikaro with an armful of sand. Hikaro just laughed.
"You'll get used to him."

Kuroi and Shiro | Kyuu
"BOOM!" Kuroi screamed, breaking out of Kyuu's grasp. These little sound effects were the only noises he'd make most of the time, and they were starting to grate on the older boy's nerves. Kuroi charged toward the playground, fully intent on destroying whatever he found.

He was followed a few steps behind by his sister, Shiro, who was more intent on watching her brother's destruction than actually joining in. Yet she silently cheered him on, doing a little flip every few feet.

Kyuu ran ahead of them and collapsed by the bench. He would've fallen asleep, but for the fact that the ground was so hard. Looking up, he decided to try and keep them in check, "Don't- Well don't... I don't know.." he trailed, so much for that.

Ryo finished putting rocks in and started on the bridge, humming softly, a tune he had heard from Riddle.

Riddle saw Kuroi running straight at the sandcastle and jumped down. "Kuroi, stop!" he said, standing in his path.

"Eh?" Ryo said, looking up at the two on the ground.

Riddle helped Kuroi and Shiro up.
