Welcome to Gaia! ::

((There is no ice orb. The orbs are Fire,Water,Wind,Earth, Life/Light, Dark/Death, and .....well the 7th orb is a secret))

((At least I got one right.))

((Seeing that I'll be back sooner than expected, I guess I shall start a post and continue up on that until the entire group catches up with Jason.))

Jason stood at the bottom of a mountain, gazing not at the summit, but at the village at its base. His face became emotionless as thoughts started to swarm his mind. His eyes watched as children ran among the streets and the parents did their daily chores, much like when he used to live there. In the distance, he saw his house where his father was chopping wood in the front yard where his mother was most likely cooking food for them both.

"So... This is your hometown?" "Ya..." "A bit chilly isn't it?" "It has always been like this... Even before that day." "Heh, to think those who had been banished from their home would never come back... But here you are in all your shame." "They never said I couldn't visit..." "I'm pretty sure it's covered in the definition of 'Banish.'" "Go eat some yellow snow. It tastes just like lemon." "That was so funny I forgot to laugh. So, why did you come here anyways?" "Don't know... Probably home sick..." "You don't look the type." "Of course not. I have a reputation to uphold." "As if you have a social life..." "Look who's talking. Anyways, why start talking to me now? I don't think you started to get lonely, did you?" "Heh. Probably... Anyways, I guess your going to be busy soon so I'll let you get back to whatever you were doing."

With that, the voice disappeared again from his mind and Jason sighed. He pulled off the hood and then started through the gate. All eyes were on him now, recognizing him by his hair style and eyes which hadn't changed since then. Men slipped into their homes as mothers grabbed their children and pulling them away as Jason continued through the snow, his cloak hiding his entire body minus the head. As he reached the edge of his families property, his father stood there with his ax slung over his shoulder.

"What are you doing here, monster." Jason twitched hearing that. He had at least expected a hello with that comment... "I thought that we made it clear to you that you'd never return again you demon." "Where's mother?" "Dead." "Then who is that," asked Jason as he pointed towards the door. A woman stood there with a hand up to her chest, her eyes wide with fear and mouth slightly open.

"She's your stepmother. What of it," asked Jason's father with a growing anger. "... What did you do to mother..." "I've done noth~" "TELL ME!" The woman gasped as she backed up. After a few seconds, she ran into the house as the other village men started walking out with bows and crossbows, all loaded and directed at Jason. "She was obviously a devil spawn, boy, so we let her rest. Now, leave or you will die."

Jason just stood there, aware of the danger behind him but he did not look. He was in a dead lock stare with his father that seemed to last for an eternity before a bolt shot out of the doorway of his house and lodged itself into Jason's right shoulder. Soon later, the step mother emerged with the crossbow, already loading it with another bolt. Jason grimaced at the pain but didn't back down as he grabbed the bolt and pulled it out, letting blood run freely down his right arm and side. "You son of a *****, mother didn't do this to me... A damn dragon did..." Jason kept his eyes upon his father, also watching the other men though the shine of his eyes waiting for a response.

(Ya, I know it's long... But if you don't want to read it, then don't although you will miss a few things in my next posts. sweatdrop

Gia would follow after Ramiel. Silence had befallen her, which probably came as eerie. Her wings would be what helped her to move as she flew above him. Her hands were digging through a bag she carried as she placed a cloak over her shoulders. She made good of dodging the tree branches as she flew. She couldn’t chance getting hurt again and her injuries previous go unhealed.

Sintariun looked to Zaid as he translated for her and she nodded as she turned toward Ramiel and the others as they walked behind him. Following suit, the elf was side by side with Zaid with him never missing a beat. Didn't he ever get bored with trying to be perfect. The Elves were known for their elegance and grace, she supposed they were the personification of perfection but still what was the point?

Zaid watched Sintariun's expression and chuckled recognizing a few. When she glanced up, the elf said in their tongue, "What are you thinking about now? I can tell by how you squint your eyes at times as if to focus on a thought." Sintariun laughed lightly but refused to say. Zaid loved the sound of her laugh and then thought on something, where was Azurai....he had a bone to pick with the rogue.

[[well i did try to converse with others but either i go ignored or nobody seems to be reading my posts either way i may just be a little paranoid]]

Alwyn went along with the others she too was not well equiped for winter weather but she would make due she did have some cloth in her bag that she could sew together to make some outer garment she probably had enough to make a few others if she was care ful enough. "im not really fond of snow but i do want to get that orb and see what else we can see, i want to see what other missions we will have to do to obtain these orbs." she said

Tori jumped up to her feet and followed the group, once again. She noticed that there were a few new members that they must have picked up at their stop. The halfling deeply inhaled. The traveling felt much better than before now that she had a chance to relax. When Ramiel mentioned cold weather she sighed. She didn't mind the cold much but she didn't like wearing the extra clothing. Tori looked over at Alwyn as she heard her talk and smiled. " Yeah, I bet it'll get very interesting, well even more interesting then it is now. Who knows what we'll run into next." she said shifting her pack on her shoulders. Even though Tori had been traveling for the past years, she still hadn't seen much of the land. So, she was looking forward to what would come next in this adventure.
