Welcome to Gaia! ::

Syori sat in the room holding the anckel tightly. How could she fight like this. She was going to be useless. She hated that thought ore then any thing.

(Any ideas for some interesting plot twist?)

Loda and Arc both had been on edge during the trip a little but soon enough land came in sight, the tropic scents of South America blew from shore and they could feel the warm sun bearing upon their skin. Suddenly a large sea serpent with giraffe patterned spots but black and gold lay upon its skin. It swayed like a snake yet didn't attack. Yet. Loda whispered. "Nobody move, I think he has poor eyesight, he's trying to find if we are alive or not."

Arc nodded and glanced at Desert with a glare that said, you're the one who can do this. Go on unless you're willing to live with being a wealking.

Pearl stayed stilled but her ears were flipped back and she barely held back a growl.

Syori stood up following her father he was pointing to the land. a Large sea serpent was in her way. She needed to get to that land. Her father was instructing her so. She limped slowly her eyes still completely zoned out. She limped slowly ignoring the shooting pain. She was almost to the deck when the ship rocked, it was after waves from the monster. The sudden tilt of the ship sent her head first in to the stairs. Her head landed on the edge of the step, the last thing she was was her father pointing to south America. He turned red then blackness encased her.

Syori kept moving her eyes still zoned out almost as if she was possessed. The limp body walked up the stairs and looked at the monster, then she turned to face Arc "Can we dock soon?" She asked in a rather board voice.

Arc ordered Swiyll and the rest of his crew to steer the ships, while he jumped over board when a section of the serpent rose above water, he ran along the sea serpent's body, it was furry and slippery oddly enough, like a streamlined body of a sea lion or otter. Arc managed to keep on using his claws, underneath the fur were scales that made even the best armor seem like paper but they were angled enough so he could dig his claws in and climb but the serpent was too busy chasing Desert to notice.

Loda took out his gun and loaded it, shooting the serpent in one eye while it chased after Desert but for some reason the bullet didn't harm the eye, and after a bit when the serpent's eye got caught in the light he could see, it had a second eyelid, clear but it must have been like bullet proof glass. Some lizards did have multiple eyelids for things like sandstorms or ocean waters.

Syori remained unconscious through out the fight, however she was far from well rested. In the blue haired girls head she was in a black room. She had been turned back to when she was 6 the same day her father was killed. She was in her room a small little thin, with a simple bed and a dresser. There was another male in the room, a young boy her 'brother' her father was yelling at the boy telling him never to enter her room or the back room. there was some sort of family secret one that her father was talking to her about it, a demon blood line, the pendant that sealed it. A Tribe that held their swords, a ritual. Suddenly there was blood every where and a pair of red eyes looked at her from the shadows.

"Pathetic child." A voice in her head hissed the red eyes watched syori with malaise. "Who are you?" She asked her voice was soft and scared, not a voice syori ever used. "You can't do any thing." the voice whispered harshly again. Outside of her mind the blue haired girls body moved on its own. Standing up and walking towards the water. "Its time." A voice that was cold and monotone spoke through Syori's mouth. Her eyes were cold and distant on her face there was an evil smirk. Back in her head Syori was getting verbally harrassed. "You could not save your mother, you could not protect your father. You are Useless Child." the voice was laughing at her. "Shut up I have Arc, and Des, and...and Loda." Syori tried to fight back. To this the voice laughed. "You think they care, You saw his face, he has a lover, its not you." The voice said [raying on Syori's feelings towards Loda, it forcibly replayed the face loda had when he came out of the room. "Shut Up I still have my brother and Arc." she said pulling her head away and covering her ears. Black tendrils pulled her hands away and locked her in a cross position. Forcing her to look right at the red eyes. "Arc will run, Loda will ignore you and Your Brother, hahahahaha, your brother met my friend along time ago." The voice laughed hard as the eyes vanished. A black tendril wrapped around Syori's through and started to choke her.

Desert found himself in a large dark room. "What the hell, where am I?" Suddenly, a large set of chinese doors stood in front of him. Opening the doors to a small child standing in the middle of a room with tones of weapons lying around everywhere. Desert looked at the child. "Hey you, where the hell am I?" The child didn't look up at him but began to murmur. "Master I am sorry, Master I should have protected her better, Master I will become a proper brother." Desert looked at him confused. "What are you saying kid?" A dark voice could be heard, it was the dark voice of a woman. "Don't you remember, that is you when you entered the secret chamber." Desert's eyes burst open as he looked at the child. "I didn't mean to, I was just curious." Desert himself began to chant to himself. The voice just laughed. "In the end you found me, now look what you have done." A image of a bloodied sea was shown in front of him. The serpent torn to pieces and then Syori in pain on the ship. Desert stood on the water and it looked like he was just a walking corpse.
