Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( : / ))

Shin felt odd, as an awkward feeling grew in the back of her head and her chest pain with grief as Chris fell out of consciousness. She looked back over to Clouse who was also pretty much in the same state. She shook off the though for a bit and huffed and she pulled Chris' arm over her shoulders and lean forward to lift him. She grunted walking towards Clouse and setting Chris down. It hurt like hell just to deal with one body, and though she could manage, she couldn't bring herself to leave with just Chris. Oh com'on you guys I can't carry the both of you!

Tears fell from her cheeks and then she realized where they were. She sat up alert and looked around. Through windows and doors peered out wary and scared people looking on with multiple emotions: Shock, sympathy, shame, fear... She looked back down and then to the city.
"Someone please help! They're in horrible condition, and just a potion won-"
"Come now, we'll go to the doctor. Here."

Shin looked down at her hand- a mastered restore materia? When did she have the time?... She looked up at her mom confused and suspicious.

"Use Regen. You haven't delt with the materia enough to to be able to really harness the ancient power in it, but what you do will be enough to help counter the bleeding..."
"Then why don't YOU d-"
"Shin! ... Enough. They are yours and yours alone. I never told you or Kun this, but through you.. runs the souls of ancient guardians."

She kneeled down and brushed some hair away from Shin's eyes before lifting her chin gently. Shin made a face and then casted Regen as she was told... It felt weird, as though the materia were actually guarded- closed off. It was evident then, that though they were pretty damn good at what they did, All three of them had a lot of growing to do. It's seems the more this day goes by, the more I realize this trip is more just a rude awaken for something... Still the materia worked if only just a bit. She handed it back to her mother and sighed.

"You know what the Gods said... As a guardian... it may seem as if you will failed... You must know your own toils to truly understand what lies ahead... May L"
"You suck."

Shin's mother laughed and patted her head before standing again and tossed her a blanket.

"EVERYTHING IS FINE EVERYONE! TEND TO YOUR HOMES! Oh... and remember to use your materia."

She gave sly smile and then simply stood and walked away. Shin shook her head, grumbling to herself in frustration as she folded the blanket a few times before rolling Clouse and Chris onto it. ...Guardian huh?Of what? And what kind? And ... ... What a load of crock... She dragged them on the blanket to the doctor's house, deciding to worry about such thoughts later.

As his unconsious state remained.. his mind did not. Instead traversing the depths of his inner consious, where darkness and many images were flashing through his mind. Until everything came to a halt.

"Chris... Zane... wake up.." A motherly voice said gently prodding them. Him and his brother.. but as children. A figure seemed to be watching over them beside her... it looked strangely familiar. Especially the orange eyes.. its felt almost like a reflection.

And the scenes began to clash with another..

"Come on boys.. your first class is today..." The same figure who his memory couldnt quite complete once again appeared. This time with them when they began their martial arts for the very first time.


Meanwhile Chris' body began to shift around a bit. Time would pass quite a bit for him before he would recover.

(Lets go ahead and move on to night in a few posts so we can get moving along quicker)

Kormea stumbled, he clutched at the side of his head, clutching the cigarette in his other hand away form him, conscious to not burn himself.

He staggered forwards, the pain in his head blossoming into a firework of red hot agony. Everything seemed to sway before him, the very world itself teeter to a fro, left to right.

The world eventually seemed to steady itself, only, it looked oddly different, needle black trees on the horizon, the air itself seeming to shimmer all traces of the people in the field gone.

Kormea felt increasingly light-headed.

It was if only part of his mind was there, like he was caught in a dream, the dim light of twilight seeming to be the only source of light in the odd place.

The world began to shimmer and sway again, with this, Rajossi awoke face down in the ground, shaking, detached in sweat and feeling faint.

There was a warm pulsing feeling in his hand, slowly mounting to a bruning hot pressure, his materia, was glowing a deep crimson, the air around it shimmering slightly but seeming to rapidly cool as Rajossi became more and more conscious, slipping back into control.

Rajossi staggered to his shaking legs wondering what on earth had just happened, nothing he had ever read reminding him of the strange and disconcerting dream like fracture that had seemed to throw him off for a while to that strange, dark place where the night lit the sky.

He wondered if he was going mad?
If Komea had done something?
If he was slowly drifting away into the life stream or some other place as he lost control...


He turned, still shaking and sweating and weak on his feat to muttering behind him...


((I am officially back from the UK for 2 weeks. Though, I am CLUELESS as to what to do as all characters around me are now inactive as far as I can tell... Anyone wanna kidnap me to mix things up a bit or similar?))

Rajossi groaned as the pain in his head started to dissipate.

The world was getting more and more disastrous and seemingly potentially hazardous for him by the day. He was groaning increasingly weary of this.

First he had begun hearing a voice not his in his head, now he seemed to be hallucinating as well, seeing people and places that where not there, this was not the first time either, he recalled what had happened to briefly last time he had summoned deux...

However, there was an upside, he thought as he walked along shakily still. Kormea had shut up for the time being.

It was bad enough having to put up with his own insecurities and self-conscious, insufferable thoughts, but to have an insistent voice nagging him, bullying, pushing him, controlling him, all the time so that he could not even enjoy himself anymore was the limit.

Rajossi paused, noting a gleaming object on the groan, he stooped to have a better look at it, the extra pressure on his still un-stable knees making them buckle.

He toppled over to the ground and took hold of the odd, shining, object. It appeared to be a pendant. He glanced around, no one in the field waiting for the contest seemed to be around this area, and it didn’t look like anyone was looking for the pendant so....


Rajossi picked it up as he got to his feet once more, placing it around his neck for size, a strange feeling buzzed briefly through him, though he could frustratingly not name it, t was an oddly familiar sentiment...

Rajossi sighed, lighting up a cigarette, he was not sure what to do as of now, he knew he did not want to carry on with this contest, no way was he going to remain Kormea's puppet.

Grabbing and packing his ruck-sack, Rajossi concluded if he was ever going to get some answers, he would have to cross the river that spilt the continent in two and head off for Cosmo Canyon, where all this had begun in the first place.

He was not sure where he would go after if he did not get all his answers there, perhaps continue with his studies, explore the ancient ruins of the world and try to keep Kormea as dormant as possible, better he was out, alone, in some ruins and lose control than somewhere with people. He thought, grimly, staring at the blades on his hand.

With that Rajossi set off west-bound, the odd pendant reflecting the light.

Whatever lay ahead, Rajossi was getting his answers, however much it would take to get them...

((Correct me if my geography is wrong here for heading off to Cosmo Canyon thanx and I will work Kormea off from evil to overall good but with personally evil intensions.))

((hmm.. thats fine. From here out all Good characters I need you to begin heading to Cosmo Canyon.

Neutrals.. we are all together already. So our next plot hooks about to begin.))
