Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alderin was sitting next to the lake, pulling up the water with his magic and putting it back down. He tried so hard to be a good hunter for his father but it was no use. He could hurt a living thing. He didn't even like the taste of meat. It was such a nice day there that he decided to go for a swim. Stripping down to his undergarment, Alderin jumped in to water. It was so nice, he felt more at home in the water than anywhere else. Probably why it was his specialty in magic. For at least one hour he swam in the lake and then decided to lay out in the grass, let the sun dry and tan his Elf body and just take a little nap. After waking, Alderin walked along a path looking for a place to stay. It was going to be dark soon and he knew that he needed a place to stay. In the distance he saw a small hut. "The perfect place to set up camp for a few days." he thought to himself. He made his way in, put his pants on but left his shirt off and placed his other cloths on the floor, found a bed and climbed in.

Garrett arrived to the little clearing, and saw a group of people all standing about, looking around like confused sheep. "Who the hell.." He caught sight of one, a girl, with warm red hair. She seemed really angry... What could she have been so upset about? He tried to get closer, their dress was odd, very odd. The one male in the group seemed to be royalty, one of the women was in an elegant gown, looking rather tastey Garrett couldn't help but notice, while the other too wore such strange clothing. He couldn't get his eyes off of the other girls.

It was right before he went to great them that a gypsy approached them. Garrett over heard her conversation. She was warning them, probably of him. He made a soft chuckle. He was the most danger they would find in this wood...the trolls would be harmless. He wondered where the gypsy would take them. The red head remained in his sights, something attracted him to her, it was fairly odd.

The girl in the dress spoke, her voice was beautiful... where were they going?

Before he was tempted to go after them, he turned and returned to the Troll siblings, he would have them search them out later. "I might have a job for you already..." he said with a soft smile. "Find out who the strangers are, they are over in a clearing a little whiles away. Get their names..."

Denae looked to the others, shrugged then followed, she could go for a place to rest, she'd been rehersing all night. "Wait the second kingdom?" what kingdom? "Where is this kingdom exactly?"

"Yes, the second kingdom, there are nine of them. The second kingdom is ruled by Queen Riding Hood the forth. The second kingdom is in the northwest." Sarina stopped talking but continued walking, leading them father through the forest. "You look confused?"

"I'm taking you to a cottage a small ways off in the woods. It will be safe to stay the night there, and much more comfortable for spending the night than on the forest floor. It' once belonged to the seven dwarves that Snow White stayed with. This is no "Storyland". I've heard of people before who weren't from here, they knew our history after a fashion but they were just stories to them. Snow White was a real person, and a great queen. There were five great women, whom you might know from stories, they lived here, and changed the course of our history: Snow White, Cinderella, Queen Riding Hood, Gretel the Great, and the Lady Rapunzel."

A hawk followed the strangers swiftly above the forest's canopy, circling as if it was curious.

"Okay!" said the trolls in unison and started off in the direction Garrett had come from, hoping to run into the group of people they were after. As soon as they were out of earshot of Garrett they once again began to quarrel over the shoes, but Bluebell quickly won the argument on the basis that he had seen them first. They didn't know where they were going but they thought that if they stuck to the direction Garrett had come from and followed any tracked, they could pretty easily find the group.
