Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elnin wasn't sure how exactly did this happen: was she trying to snag this damned fragment lying in the corals? Looks like she breathed in some of the poisonous gas again. This time the hallucination was clearer: she heard the loud voice, and could remember all the phrases it was saying. She was betrayed... by whom? Who betrayed her? Who wasn't there when was needed? Her fellow clansmen?.. No, it would be better to say she wasn't there... Mei? No, she knew Mei is somewhere near, as minipetish as all of them. Her Queen?.. Cymbeline? Could she be betrayed by some of the authorities?..

Nnnnooo. That was just torturing her: Eisheth lied on its back, and shut her eyes trying to get away from the buzz in her head.

Diana sighs as she paddles her little minipet feet towards a second fragment. Perhaps this time would go better than the first?

She heads for it but just as she reaches it she sees the coral-like flowers emit some type of gas. She shakes her head trying to clear the lightheadedness that came along with the gas. As it dissipates her eyes widen then narrow as understanding comes to her. She lets out a growl at seeing the others near to her. She quickly swims away from them and looks for more of the fragments that are calling out to her now. She knows they are the only ones she can trust.

Bix sputtered and struggled. This was not part of his plan! He was a hero and he needed to save his love! Where was she? Where was mini-Tika? HIS ONE TRUE LOVE!

The plushie pet drifted, floating easily in the water through the strange distortions. He spotted something close by and like in the maze be began to feel sleepy, floaty. What was going on?

And then the world made sense. He was a hero.... but these people, who were they?! Why would they betray him!?

West no longer had the slightest idea what was going on. The last thing he remembered clearly was being in some stark, silent room with Tro and Herryk, but in between then and now he was certain he had been on a beach and ankle deep in snow near-simultaneously, and then in a room lined with doors. It didn't make any sense. At all. The dreams he had wandered through in between these bursts of reality had been pleasant enough, and now that he was fully awake and surrounded by what appeared to be breathable water, the demon found that he would rather be sleeping again.

Once he had shaken off the groggy remnants of his lengthy nap, it took West another few seconds to realize he was still a minipet. It seemed impossible that he would forget, and the fact that he had gave him pause. If he stayed in this body too long would he forget what it was like to be himself? The boil paddled in place, his movements becoming more frantic when the beating of his wings and feet did nothing but spin him in place. He shouted, the water muffling his squeaky roar.

Something flickered in his peripheral vision and he stopped wiggling long enough for the bubbles around him to clear. It was a strange shard, and its sudden appearance filled West with misguided hope. If it could appear out of nowhere, maybe it would take him away from this place. He reached out, extending a claw to touch the fragment.

The shriek came from everywhere and nowhere, ripping through his mind so ferociously that he was sure he was going to—

Yup, he was dead.

Being a minipet was, purely and simply, confusing. He could not stay with anyone, and things just kept happening to him. Like this water washing him away. His helmet threatened to push his head underwater but he perservered.

There, one of those peculiar shards. Merging with another minipet by the looks of it. He reached for it, not seeing the minipets eyes open as his helmet obscured his vision. It dragged at him, teeth chattering and shrieking as it tried to pull away, but Soren merely latched onto the fragment and held his ground until it eventually pulled away completely.

West shuddered as he poofed back into existence again. The hollow feeling was more pronounced this time, almost nauseating, and he took a few moments to look himself over before deciding nothing was actually wrong. He didn't know what those fragments were for or why they forced him to dissipate when he touched them, but he was even more determined to stay away from them now. Too bad they weren't interested in returning the favor.

He growled at one of the cyclops fish as it swam past, swiping at it as quickly as he could in this strange water. As his paw made contact, the fish disappeared, spirited away by the shard he touched a second later.

Ded.

Fragments: -

As she was swept away, Shaheen found herself rolling and flipping underwater, her little legs moving and flailing as she attempted desperately to swim. Water churned around her, carried her further, and with glowing yellow eyes she could see the others around her, in similar predicaments. It was awful, the noise pounding in her ears doing nothing to drown out the whispers that were always lurking somewhere in the back of her head.

At some point, she gave up, and allowed herself to be carried along, only to be surprised by how completely painless the experience was, and how she could actually breathe while under the water. How strange! And now that she had stopped struggling, she found that she could move almost naturally throughout the water like substance, gaze descending below towards what appeared to be a glowing fortress.

She attempted to swim downwards, to attempt to close the distance between herself and the castle, only to find that there were many other things between it and her, many strange and distorted things that drew her curious attention. Crystal shards appeared in random locations, and distracted, she swam/walked through the water towards one that was hovering above a television, determined to snag it up before somebody else, like a thieving wretched hunter, could do so. As she came near, the shard began to glow, sparkling for a mere instant before lashing out at her with an electric current that sent horribly painful jolts down her spine before it then faded from sight.

drifting away slowly from the television area, afraid of getting shocked once more, the small vaisel eventually turned around, amber eyes sweeping the landscape for another fragment that she could attempt to procure. Her eyes finally rested upon one that was surrounded by a very flowery looking coral, and she began to float/walk nearer to it. When she finally felt near enough to make an attempt to grab it, one of the flowers nearby hissed and she turned her face towards it, blinking as a gas filled her vision.

Suddenly she felt light headed and dizzy, almost disconnected from herself, in an odd way. It was strange, but not at all painful, and as she came back into her own mind, it was to a wonderful sound of silence, a clear headedness that she hadn't felt since the destruction of the isles. She could finally think for herself, without any outside influence, and her thoughts quickly turned dark. But wait, there was a whispering again, only this time she could actually understand what it had to say, and it made perfect sense. She had a task, a quest that was hers and hers alone. She was to trust nobody, as to trust again would lead to certain disastor, and her eyes narrowed suspiciously at all of those others that were also here. She began to move away from them, wanting to just be alone, because she didn't need anybody but herself. A hatred was burning inside of her, consuming her soul, but it was not without cause.

The siren call of the fragments had her completely entranced. She needed to find another, to quell this feeling inside of her and to find the answers that she now seeking. There was so much more they needed to tell her!
