Welcome to Gaia! ::

Edge cut down the last orc of this wave, knowing more were on the way by the sounds coming from the forest. "Let's go further into the cave!" He wiped the blood from his blade on one of the orcs' clothes. He then sheathed his blade and began to run into the cave, moving as fast as he could to catch up with his friend. Delaine!

Sora waited silently, perched in a tree near the entrance of the cave watching them fight off the first horde of orcs. Once the first wave was defeated he flew down and peaked into the cave to make sure they were far enough in and that he couldn't be seen. "This cave is a dead end..." He whispered to himself and looked out at the forest and closed his eyes. "And the next wave is readily approaching... they will be trapped in here... and killed" He opened his eyes again and stood his ground and lifted his arms. "The moon is full... so I can do it.." He said as the air around him began to get charged with mana. He never really could explain it but when the moon was out his magic was intensified, and when it was full... he is almost like a well of mana. "Divine Wall" He said as a barrier of light closed off the entrance of the cave, his wings and eyes began to glow as the orcs crashed into the barrier trying to break through but he held strong.

A bright light filled the whole room as the blade Delaine drew started to glow. In a flash of light, it formed into a small tome with chains wrapped around it and the holy sword fell into Delaine's hands, the light slowly fading as she held it in her hands. A small ferret like creature crawled on to her back and sniffed her neck. "You are my new master?" Zhirra looked down at the book and the pink ferret-like creature nodded it's head. "What is your name, girl?" It's cute, girlish voice filled the air. It sounded like a little child was speaking in the room, but the voice was from the creature on Delaine's shoulder.

((Ok, you control Zhirra from here. The Geo-Fortress doesn't get activated until Edge finds the other sword))

Edge slid down the slope Delaine had just fallen down. He reached the bottom and rolled so that there would be no injury then looked up to see a small, odd looking room with Delaine in front of an alter and a new weapon in her hand. He believed Shining Force was a blade as it was said to be, so he assumed that she had just found a new weapon. "Wow, Delaine! I didn't think there'd be anything in this cave." He looked around and stepped into the room. When his feet touched, it sounded like he was walking on some metallic surface. "Huh?" He looked around and saw a doorway on the otherside of the room. He jumped over the alter, knowing Delaine would follow and walked over to the door.

((alright, got it))

Delaine was shocked when the blade transformed in her hands. She had seen its form for a moment, and thought it was rather strange, until it changed in her hands. She looked at the chains that wrapped around the tome and her arm until she felt something on her back. Seeing the small creature she was shocked that it could speak, using the word 'master'. "Um, its Delaine." She said quietly, finding the creature a little cute. The small ferret like creature crawled so that it could stay on her shoulder. "Zhirra." It said bluntly and then turned to look up behind them, and Delaine heard that others had gone down the slope as well.

Allouette couldn't help but smile when she saw Edge. Her friend was safe, and, as usual, moving on ahead. She turned to follow him when she heard more following them. However, when she turned, she saw the elf going in the opposite direction. Delaine didn't question it. She had not even become acquainted with Kora, even if she did fight alongside Edge against the orcs just now. She turned and followed Edge, patting Zhirra on her shoulder for a moment.

Edge looked back a Kora and quirked a brow at her exit. Before she could completely get up the slope, he had to say something. "Running off? Sounds just like something an old bat would do!" He smirked, hoping his intimidation technique would work and make her stick around. He gaze shifted towards the centaur as he asked if he could join them. Edge rubbed the back of his head and laughed a bit. "I don't see a problem with that." After that, he entered the door way and walked down the flight of stairs. He stepped into a large room, but couldn't see much so he continued to move ahead. "I bet Shining Force is in here!" He yelled out, completely unknowing of what Delaine actually held in her hand. "Hmmm..." He continued to move ahead until he reached another room, with another alter, and, of course, a sword stuck in the metallic shrine. "No way!" He had to resist jumping up and down with joy. After so many months of looking about for this sword, they had finally found it. He looked back to see if Kora had followed, thinking of a plan to let all four of them give drawing the blade a go. Pulled out some jerky he had in his pouch and held it in front of him, each piece varying from large to small. "Alright, whoever gets the smallest, goes last." He let the others draw before seeing what he would have left. When everyone had drawn the jerky, Edge discovered he was dead last. He let a groan escape his lips, positive he wouldn't be able to draw it now.

((I noticed Kora's post and immediatly posted razz ))

Korsu sighed as he noticed the stairs. Bracing himself, he slowly made his way down the stairs, trying not to slip. Eventually, once he made it all the way down, he saw the second sword and noticed they were 'drawing jerky'. He got the second longest. Once Kora tried and then failed to draw the sword he said, "I suppose it is my turn now." He walked over to the sword and tugged on it lightly. With increasing force he pulled on it, nothing happened. He then tried with both hands and then let go. Looking back at them he said, "Well I'm done trying." He was not in the least bit worried or sad about not being able to draw the sword. It just wasn't his turn to do something important. Backing away from it and returning to them he smiled and said, "Since Delaine will not draw it, It is Edge's turn."
