Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Sadly I believe it is just me and Vixen, she plays five characters which boggles me, and she does a great job. I just wish we had more people...))

((Thanks, sorry my moms computer broke had to get it fixed ^_^ Ill post soon but i got school so nite))

Sativa laughed, "What an intriguing thought!" Sativa laughed gaily.

"No. It isn't." Chloe remarked and slipped into the tent.

Sativa gave him a tug, "Come on, you don't need all that. We're already fully stocked. Come on." She followed her sister into the tent. She beamed as her mother met her at the door.

"Did you have fun?"

"HA!" Came from Chloe furhter in the tent.

Evangeline blinked, surprised.

"I uh...well...yes, mother I had loads of fun." Sativa finally replied, smiling innocently, "Oh, we found Ark, too!"

Sativa giggled.

Evangeline raised a dark brow at the two of them and then shook her head, smiling faintly, "I will show you your room." she turned and moved away.

Profius, who'd wanted to see his daughters come in, had a dish towel thrown over his shoulder. He nodded back, "My stew is on, it will be ready soon." He replied in answer to Ark's question.

Sativa was walking with Ark, following her mother, "Papa's stew is to die for. Seriously."

Millicent came into view and then disappeared again quickly after blushing profusely.

Evangeline stopped by a room door--well, it was more like a flap, "This will be your room." She frowned slightly, "Where are your items?" She asked, concerned.

In the little kitchen, Chloe sliced soft, crusty bread, "Smells great, Papa." She murmered.

"I see your animosity has died down a little. May I ask what changed?" Profius asked.

"We sorted out our differences like you told me to do. I was only mad at him for how he treated you." She replied after a moment, not looking up.

"Chloe."

How he said it made her look up at him.

"You cannot become angry every time someone addresses me in a less than respectful manner. You'll spend your entire life angry! I am what I am and I accept that. I accept how some will react to me. I am the happiest man on the planet because I have married the other half of my being and we have created three beautiful little ones together. No one else matters, everything else pales in comparison." He reached up and touched her cheek, "Quiet your storm, little one."

Chloe sighed and then smiled and nodded, "Yes, Papa."

Evangeline nodded and left him to it, going to find her third daughter, "My love, you cannot hide in here the whole time." She murmered when she found Millicent, predictably, her nose in a book.

Millicent looked up and blinked blearily at her mother. She looked away and flushed, "I know." She said in her quiet voice, "But I wish to stay here a little longer...please mother?"

Evangeline sighed and went to sit next to her, "Let me brush your hair. You always feel better after."

Millicent sat up, still holding her book, "Okay." She agreed, standing to retrieve her brush. She handed it to her mother then sat on down again.

Sativa had excused herself to wash up for dinner.

Chloe looked up when Ark called her and stopped what she was doing, wiping her hand and going over to meet him. She blinked at the the first trinket and held it in her hand. It was still warm as she cradled it in her hand. The second glass piece, a rose for Sativa was warm as well and well made. She was about to thank him for the gifts when she noticed out tired he was. She scowled, irritated with him and put the gifts down, "Sit down. What is wrong with you? Such a waste of energy, I'll be surprised you last a minute in the tournament. Shameless, really!" She chided him. He wasn't moving fast enough, she grabbed his arm and steered him towards a chair and shoved him into it.

In the kitchen, his back to the young ones, Profius smiled his mirth, "Chloe, give him some bread." he called over his shoulder.

Chloe moved into the kitchen, slathered a thick slice of bread with butter and brought it over to Ark, "Eat this. And don't move." she ordered.

She sneered at him and his ridiculous nickname and turned away to get him so more bread. He was practically inhaling the piece she'd given him. She was in the middle of buttering it when she heard a crash behind her. She whipped around and cried out in alarm, "Papa!"

Profius moved quickly, filling a cup of with meaty broth, "Milli!" He barked, his voice carrying.

Chloe had Ark's head in her lap and looked up as Sativa, Evangeline and Millicent came running into the main room.

"What's happened?" Evangeline wanted to know, her brow creased with concern. They gathered around the unconcous boy.

"Millicent give him a boost." Profius instructed.

Millicent nodded and moved forward. She put ahand over his hear and his head and closed her eyes. Her hands began to glow green a bit and her power slipped into Ark, boosting his system.

Profius handed the cup of steaming broth to Chloe, "Make him drink this slowly when he wakes up." He instructed.

Sativa looked up, "Why are you having Milli do it? Mama's better." She asked.

"Milli needs the practice." Profius replied, his expression grave as he watched her daughter work on Ark.

Inside him, Milli did some repairs she found, patching up wear and tear on his body, all the while pumping him up with more energy, Please wake up now, sir. She murmered to him.

Kiara Blackwing

Kiara stretched her body, flexing her wings in the sunlight to cast a great shadow upon the rock she was sitting on. She loved the sun's warmth on her skin, the only area of her that could feel the suns warmth. Her blue-violet scales glistened.
Then she noticed something, the forest was quiet. Too quiet. She gripped Zarfour with her right hand and sprang into the dense undergrowth, waiting. A blast of fire shot into the sky, rippling the energy in the area.
Humans? she thought to herself. No there hasn't been anyone in this area since I moved here months ago.
She hid in the trees until nightfall. That's when she first heard the screams.





Agro's stomach growled.
Gah I wish I could find something substantial to eat. These stupid bunnies just aren't doing it.
He padded forward in his full wolf form which he had maintained for days now mostly to conserve the energy it took to hold back the beast that resided in his soul. And so that he would go fairly unnoticed by all the other travelers on their way to the tournament.
Night was beginning to fall. The scent of stew mingled in the air and Agro's stomach let out another hideous roar.
Ah geez, this is torture.
He decided to check out the smell as hunger drove his thoughts. He approached a small camp. A light glowed from inside the tent that the scent drifted from. He sensed six beings within the tent.
Probably going to the tournament... Maybe they'll give me some food before I move on...
A blood curtling scream echoed from inside. Agro froze in place, wary of entering.
Maybe they discovered me? He was anxious.

Arkarian D. Kaze ~The Flaming Spirit~

Ark senses were so active that when he heard a noise outside the tent he chucked one of the last 3 daggers he had on him at it "Chloe...Outside..." he mumbled readying another dagger, despite being tired, Ark fought to his feet using the table as a kind of crutch, waiting for whatever it was "Chloe... Be careful" Ark cautioned hoarsely.
