Welcome to Gaia! ::

"What...this?" asked Saya mumbling while showing the gold nuggets to Lily.

Parker looked at Lily as she yelled over to him. "What!?! Whats wrong?!"

He ran over to them to see that Saya had gold nuggets in her pouch. He took one from the bag and looked at one of the peices. " Ha, looks like we have some money now." Parker laid the peice back into Saya's bag.

"Best keep that close. There are a lot of people out here who would take that without a second thought." He gave Saya a pat on the shoulder and turned towards a small path in the trees.

"Here, we will go this way until we can see that city Saya was talking about." Parker pointed down the way. "Maybe with some of these apples and those gold nuggets we can get a room to sleep in for a night." He gave them all a smile and started his way down the path.

It was not long before he had made it through the trees and into a field of grass that went on for miles. He looked around to see if he could find a Town. He made his way up a hill and looked behind him to make sure Saya and Lily were there.

He then looked out over the land and saw what looked like small black giants in the distance. He looked more close to see they were houses far out. He yelled towards his new friends and told them only a little more and we will be at the town.

'Lets just hope we are welcomed.' he thought.

Lily smiled and patted Saya sholder,walking along.She brushed a piece of hair out of her face and bit her lip,thinking.

((I can't get my character working right sweatdrop so I am withdrawing him))

(wait what time period is it?!?!)
Lily shrugged and pulled Saya along to a clothing shopp.She sat Saya down and began going threw the racks of clothes.She turned and smiled at Saya and turned back to the clothes.

(( I have no idea. I went ahead and took a guess that were in some sort of a Fantasy looking era. I was going around with Full Metal Alchemist looking places in my mind.))

Parker went along the streets looking for a place to stay in. He found a vendor along the way and traded his apples for some gold coins. He thanked the man and went on his way.

'This place, why are there so many scruffy looking people? Along with that, cats are everywhere.' Parker looked around to see cats darting in and out of windows and alleyways.

He watch one cat interact with a human as if the people here were use to it.

He walked along until he came upon a sign that said Twilight Inn. He stepped inside as a bell went off. He walked in to see no one was around. He went up to the front desk. No one was there. 'Wierd, where is everyone?" He thought.

He saw a bell on the desk and rang it. A voice came from below the desk. " Hold on just a sec! Can't a man get his sleep in the afternoon." Parker looked around for someone but he could not see anyone.

A cat jumped onto the desk and meowed and sat in front of him. It was blue and had a white tip on its tail. (( Like Rufus! XD))

"Well, what do you want!" Parker looked around to see who said that. "Right hear you idiot!" Parker looked down to see the cat was waving at him. He yelled and fell back on his back and got up in fright. "You can talk!" he pointed at the cat.

"Yes." the cat said back. Parker laughed and tried to hide the image from his eyes. The cat looked at him and yawned. " Well, if you have no need for a room, you best be going on your way then." The cat jumped down and started to walk away.

"No wait!" Parker yelled without meaning to. The cat turned and looked at him with a wierd expression. "Yes?"

"I'm sorry I freaked out, its just I, just that I..." Parker was at a lost for words. "Just that Ive never seen a talking cat before." said the cat with a smile. " Its alright, I understand." The cat walked over to Parker. "So is it just you who needs a room sir?"

"No, I have two others with me. There girls, so one room for them and one room for me should do." Parker said slowly. The cat bowed and walked away. "That will be 25 gold coins for both rooms." the cat said. Parker freaked out. He only had 10 gold coins. He laughed and asked the cat if 10 would do for now. He would pay back once the girls got back. The cat sighed and said " Well, you best find them so you can get yourself a room. Oh, and my name is Xander." He hopped down and trotted off.

Parker gave a sigh.

Saya just shook her head and was happy and content in her clothes.

Parker got out the door and looked around. 'Theres no way they will be done shopping by now.' he gave another huge sigh.

He started to walk along the crowd of people before he came onto a a strange store with a glowing red rock in the window. Everyone just walked by without a glance to it, as if it was not really there.

He came up to the door and stepped inside. The air was hot and stuffy. He felt at home for some odd reason. He walked along the shelves as he looked at all the wierd color rocks on them. He then came to a small counter with a small old women sitting in her chair.

Parker came up to her. "Exscuse me miss, I..."

"WHAT! Who said that!" The old women screamed as Parker spoke. Parker stepped back from the shock he got from the lady. She turned to face him and looked deep into his eyes. " A Dragon!?! Here!! Well now, this is a surprise. Never thought I see your kind down here in the Eastern part of the world."

Parker looked at her with a wierd grin. " So you think im a dragon huh?"
The lady looked at him with a odd face. "Your saying you dont know you are one? Well that tattoo on you face should be good enough!" She pointed to Parkers Dragon tattoo on his neck going up into his check.

Parker looked at a mirror to see it. He had yet to really look at himself until now. He wore a black shirt, red jacket and black pants. His hair was brown as wood and his eyes were red as autumn leafs. He noticed his tattoo on his face. It looked just like a dragon going up it.

"That is a wierd spot for it though? Most dragons have it on their arm or chest." The old lady gave a chuckle. Parker turned to look at her. "Please miss, who are you and how do you know about dragons?" Parker asked with a soft tone.

"Well seeing as you asked nicley, I'll tell you. My name is Ali." The lady got up and went over to a wierd bookshelf and pulled out a strange red book. She put it down in front of him and opened the book up. She pointed towards a map. "Here we are, Drothnu, and here are your mountains in Thundercliff Peaks. Your race is all over these mountains. But how come you dont know this?" She gave Parker a wierd look.

He told her how he had got here and what had happen to him all up to when he entered the store. "You poor lad, you must be wanting to die inside. Well I have no idea how you lost your memories, but, I have heard of this magic before." She got up and shuffled over to a small book and picked it up and brought it back over. She then gave Parker the book.

'That is the..." Before she finished parker stopped her by saying The Willow of Souls. "Yes, how did you know that?" Parker gave her a shrug.

' Why does that name sound so familiar' He thought.

"Well anyway, this book is about a old type of magic that was used a long time ago. Anyone who uses it is caught by the Willows and is judged by them." She gave a pause before speaking again. "If you are found guilty, only pain and misery will follow. If you are found innocent, you will be given the power of the Willows."

She put the book away. "Now only a few have this power, the others have all died or have ran away from this world. My guess is that only someone who has this ability could do this to a town. I doubt it though, it could be just a huge group of wizards as well with dark magic. Your guess is as good as mine."

Parker looked at the map and read Kelanor. "Oh yes, thats the human race who owns this area. They cant transform, but they are the best at magic and technology." The old lady said with a growl in her voice.
