Welcome to Gaia! ::

"tower?"
She eyed the body for a second before turning at the sky. There were biuldings everywhere but surely there was one that surpassed each and every single one of them. Would that be the infamous tower the body whispered about?
"well only one way to know."
Picking up her backpack the girl rushed through the open planes between streets to make her way to the supposed said tower. Keeping an eye on every single plane she crossed ways with knowing that they could turn into an enemy within a blink of an eye.

"Huh?"
The redhead would soon hear noises that were growing stronger and menacing as they did. Turning over her shoulder she realized another horrid surprise it was the roots from before, just this time they were crawling on the floor at a surprising speech which they increased every second.
"I-I've seen enough kinky Japanese Illustrations to know where this is going at"
She replied scared to death before sprinting like there was no tomorrow. Good thing that Nurse Mortem did invested some time in making sure Melani didn't skipped P.E. Otherwise she would had fallen prey of the roots because of lack of cardio. However her stamina wasn't the greatest so she had better think of a way to end this quickly. She had no meister, no parter near her at the moment so sprinting was the only reasonable solution at the moment.
"C'mon you guys why don't you just stop and grow some flowers or something"
She complained looking forward to the next exit she had. The roots made her run over and over until they suddenly stopped following and passed by.

Little did she knew she had arrived the tower. After all she was more worried about loosing those roots than anything. Falling against the wall she gasped for some air. Her heart beating faster and faster due to the adrenaline of the moment.

Sadly, Melani had poor to zero soul perception. Yet she could feel this place was filled with power of some sort. She wasn't very happy to see she was now locked in the tower. But just standing there and complaint would not help her get away from this place at all. Standing up after recovering her breath. She decided to explore the halls the tower had in search for clues or a way out.

Melani would observe a blooming diversity of beautiful flowers, however due to her previous experiences so far she knew even the air might be an enemy waiting to strike. -taking out a bandana from her backpack she covered the lower half of her face just in case before heading through the halls filled with flowers.
"Please remain as flowers. Just don't poison me or turn into roots. you are good as you are just now."
She continued talking to plants. Dealing with the loneliness this place had to offer because of her current isolated situation. She didn't had news from the others and now she was surrounded by plants in this building which was also surrounded by those thorn roots. She would soon hear some whispers? no, it was more of a humming. She knew there was someone there, she just hoped it wasn't another corpse like last time. At least she had a reason to continue her journey up the tower.

Once at the top, the girl would seem to find an iron door but no matter how much she struggled it wouldn't move. It should have been obvious by now that it was locked rather than stuck.
"What to do now?"
She pondered while listening at the humming from the other side of the door.
"I can't go back, not now that I'm this close."

"It's no use"
She replied in frustration as the door would not move no matter what. She lacked the physical strength or a partner to perform a strong attack. Which led her to despair.
However as the redhead cooled down, a breeze would caress her hair, leading her sight in the breeze's direction which lead to a hole.
"hmm"
Melani remained thoughtful for a minute or two. but what other chance did she had? Crawling her way in, Melani would venture inside the place. Eventually reaching the next room.

Taking the first glance at the room, Melani was astonished because of the gian tree at the center of the room.
"What's going on here?"
She went ahead to take a better view when she discovered the bodies hidden within the tree's flowers. She tried to take them out but before she could go any closer the corner of her eye caught something and made her flinch backwards to find a lady next to the tree. Was she even there when she got here?
"W-who are you?!"
Asked the rather frightened weapon at the moment.
