Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the tree came collapsing a woman with a sword inside a sheath came flipping off of it. She landed a good 30 feet away and in a blink of an eye she appeared right in front of the woman unsheathing her sword to swing.

The woman smirked as Musubi gave her an introduction. I am Sanae Lana She said before letting go of her sword and flipping into the air to avoid Musubi's punches. As she flipped, she strangely got higher into the air and suddenly, swords began raining down on the woman. Im not done yet! She said as the swords began to glow like the ones from earlier, having the same effect.

The fairy held her hand in the light, afraid to melt, like snow and spring.

Ivory cringed slightly at the girl's good guess. "Y-yeah, sort of." Ivory forced a smile. She didn't want to go any deeper into matters, like what she was. The general term, fairy was good enough. Asrais were rare and valuable creature. Only the staff were supposed to know Ivory's details and past. It wasn't that Ivory didn't trust the students...No, that's exactly what I'm thinking, she realized shamefully.

Just then, another girl from the stealth team's collection joined them. Glad for the distraction, Ivory smiled gratefully at her. "Oh, uhh, hey again Nepta. Hi to the both of you two. It's a pleasure to be on this team with you."

"Nice to meet you, too. I'm-" She cut herself off and looked at Ms. Suwako as she produced her own strict speech. Ivory nodded and glanced at the others. She wasn't expected to fight, but run. That, she could do. A grim little smirk twitched at her lips at her cowardice. "Shall we do this then?"

The stealth team followed the strength team through the barrier. Ivory blanched at the immediate violence between the bandits and their strength students. So this was missions class? Ivory shuddered a little, but locked her legs from shaking. She glanced back, seeing her new acquaintance, Axel. Ivory grabbed her hand and started tugging her to the forest. "My name is Ivory. Pair up with me?" She smiled, feeling her heart beating quickly, and adrenaline pouring into her veins, making her a whole lot less shy.

Ivory dashed, waving the other stealth members into the forest with her. "It's better if we stay hidden. C'mon, I can see the castle in that direction. If we go through the trees-" Suddenly, ahead of them a small forest collapsed in on itself. Ivory pulled Axel back and coughed as dirt was flung into their face. When the air cleared, she saw a flash of their teacher facing off against a strange woman, so Ivory lunged with Axel to duck behind a tree. "M-mrs. Musubi is fighting here?" she hissed. She turned to Axel. "Sneak around, then, I guess?"

But her white skin flashed in the sun, solid, existing, and astonishly alive.

Axel Oblivion : Shaman Priest

Axel walked on in and already saw that students were already fighting. When the girl from before grabbed her hand and asked to pair up she nodded and smiled as she dashed along beside her. When they spotted Ms. Sakura fighting. "They're fight looks brutal. I never seen Ms. Sakura in action before. I gotta say she's not even serious." said Axel. Axel took Ivory's hand and took a leaf from the trees. Whistling into the leaf a silent sound vibrated through out the forest and a pair of foxes came up. "Alright, they'll lead us through the safest route." said Axel as she took Iva to follow them. Dashing behind them a bandit suddenly swooped up the fox and blocked Ivory and Axel. "Oh no." she said. "Get down!" yelled a voice not to far. Aerith had appeared and blasted the bandit away from the two. "You guys are ok?" she asked. Axel nodded her head and took a hold of Ivory again to follow the foxes. Aerith smiled and turned around to find more bandits surrounding her. She brought out a pair of pistols and began fighting once more.

Sanae smiled seeing the teacher finally take some damage, but her eyes flew open seeing her reappear over her. Sanae saw what was coming and she clenched her eyes shut as Musubi caused a miniature explosion upon impact. After all the smoke cleared up, Musubi would see she only punched a large crater into the ground due to the woman getting away. Sanae was now a little behind Musubi, and the wind that came from the miniature explosion started to sharpen threatening to cut the fighter until she bleeds to death

Judal stepped up as multiple small smoke clouds appeared around him as a few blotches of pitch black creatures revealed themselves. Suddenly the creatures started to deform and firm into multiple woodland creatures and start turning the creatures natural color. Is this fine? he asked.

Hours slide and days go by till you decide to come.
But in-between it always seems too long.
But I have the skill, I have the will...
To breathe you in while I can.
I don't mind, I don't care, as long as you're here...
