Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Sorry i meant to post on wednesday but i was just out of my mind busy))

RIkku

Rikku just smiled when He said he loved her and blushed. "your right." SHe said cuddling up to him. "And... I love you too." She said as she cuddled up to him as the ride went around a couple more times and it came to a halt.


"We need to get to the square, I am sure the others are already there waiting for us. It is almost time for the ceremony." She said as they walked together through the rapidly growing crowds in the square. "There they are!" Rikku stated as she waved. "Alexander, Killian!" She waved as they walked over towards the spots they had saved. "Hey how was the festival for you guys?"

ty & cefia

They spent the entire day together, catching up and being playful. but once night fell they flew towards the large mosaic square again. landing gracefully together in the spot that Alexander and Killian had saved for everyon. "they waved as they landed and sat down waiting for the festival to continue.

Melody.

Melody had just been waltzing around town with larris when they challenged each other to a game of hide and seek, it was Melodies turn to hide.. last round before they headed back to the square too! so stakes were high as melody ran through the streets and into an ally way to see (Dimitri) a suspicious looking figure crying. "Hey..." melody said with a sincere voice as she approached the person. "Hey is everything alright?" As she got closer she realized who it was. "D... dimitri? is everything ok?"

Jaden waved to the two as well, but didn't say much as he waited for them to talk first. It's not that he didn't want to talk, but it was that Rikku already said what he wanted to and there was no reason for it to be said twice. "Hey guys." Was all he said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess she has forgiven me for taking the necklace. Larris had thought as he was looking for Melody. "I wonder where she is now..." He looked down ally ways until he heard a familiar voice. Dimitri? He thought about who it was as he looked down the ally way.

Dimitri follows Melody quietly, not sure how too proceed on the matter...maybe if he got a chance too talk in private he would talk too her. But he didn't want too bring down the excitment for the festival for everyone with his issues. He smiled and kept everything supressed.

RIkku

Rikku quickly explained the spell again before General Polari took center stage.

Gen. Polari

"I hope that everyone has enjoyed the festivities today." he said with a loud booming voice as everyone became silent. "the festival is wonderful however there is a reason we are all gathered here tonight. Tonight is the night that we honor the great northern island and re-cast the spell that keeps our home this wonderfully icy temperature." He began. "however there are some of our brethren that could not make it here tonight, because they are serving a much greater purpose. They are out protecting our borders from the aquatic threat, so if you would, raise your voice and let it carry across the ice to remind our brothers and sisters what they are fighting to protect, let your voice renew their strength and give them reason to fight a new!!!" He said booming as the crowd roared. Rikku and Killian yelled the whole time however they had their ears plugged because the crowd was so immense and the cheering was so loud that it made the ground shake.

"And so now let us begin the sacred spell." He began as the rest of the crowd joined in the voices were not in unison at all... however the words of the spell still managed to poke out above all else:

"Western Leaf, and Eastern Peak,
shine brightly with the words we speak.

The statue of the leaf lit up a brilliant green as it launched a pillar of light into the sky shortly after that the mountainous landscape towards the west lit up a reddish brown and followed suit sending a pillar of light up, and the crowd cheered as the spell continued.

Southern Sound, and Northern Snow,
react as well to words you know.

The Bell statue lit up a brilliant gold and the snowflake statue launched a sweet blue into the sky. and the crowd roared again.

And now in the heart of our sweet land,
the sacred tree, please lend thy hand."

The tree in the center began to glow pink, faint at first but brighter and brighter as it went, until it too launched a beam of light into the sky, as the tree began to glow so did rikku, the area around her gave off a soft glow.

as soon as the tree lit up the northern lights began to dance wildly in the sky dancing, twisting and turning, the stars seemingly dancing with it, as the moon glowed brighter.
The crowd went silent before beginning the second part. which was louder and more powerful than the first.

THe ground is thawing, turning brown,
please bring the blanket of winter's Down.

A light snow began to fall

The Glaciers melting, sinking fast,
build them up so they can last.

The snow picked up a little as the air began to feel colder and colder.

The Ice again begins to weep,
Freeze it until icicles creep.

where there was standing water everyone watched before their own eyes as it froze solid. the space in between the little pieces of tile that created the mosaic slowly started to glow, from the outside slowly creeping inward until it reached the tree and the tree lit up a bright white, launching a larger beam of light into the sky. the second the tree fired the white beam the entire area became earily silent.

"Let your wishes fill the air, speak your hearts depest desires and fears the the great night sky to finish the spell." Polari boomed.

Cefia

'i pray that our love stay true and that i am able to bring the strength and balance that is needed to the forest, I hope that i am able to be a better leader than my father and that I can make him proud, and i pray that i am able to resist the temptations that my father could not, and i pray that someday ty and i can have a happy healthy family.' She prayed, cuddling with ty as she prayed.

Ty

'I hope that i can provide for cefia better than i was able to provide for myself, I hope i am able to keep her safe so that we never have to endure anything like this ever again. I hope that the friends we've made through this experience won't become strangers and that our ties will be as strong in a few years as they are now!" He thought to himself holding cefia tightly.

Melody

'I hope that my dad is still home safe, and keeping the people of terracotta in order. I hope the souls of my brothers are laying peacefully with the roots of the sacred tree, and that i can make my father proud without following the same rout they did... I pray that dimitri can find the strength to defeat his demons and that he knows that we are all here for one another every step of the way.'

Killian

"I hope everthing works out... I hope that rikku can finely move past everything and pursuit her own happiness. i hope that i can stand strong when the time comes and can keep my cool until the objective is met, I pray that i can be strong enough to pick up all the slack in rikku's life and i hope that jaden treat's her right."

Rikku

"I hope that i can be strong enough for the people of sakura to have faith in me. I pray for the well being of my friends. I pray that alexander can overcome whatever obstacles being blind has laid out for him, I pray Dimitri will have the strength to fight off his demon when the time comes. I hope ken made it home alright, and luna is able to learn magic like she wants to. I hope i can be strong enough to prevent melody from meeting the same fate as her brothers and i hope larris has learned that he has a part among this little traveling family. I pray killian is able to overcome whatever the shadow that haunts him is. And I pray that i can make jaden happy and that my responsibilities as the priestess don't drive him away.... I pray that the judge's and lord velu's spirits have found peace.... and... I pray that keoni is alright with my decision to be with jaden... and i pray that he is at peace resting in eternal bliss within the roots of the sacred tree."

The air around them had become thick and dense with mana and wishes, as pyreflies began to dance gracefully through the sky as people wished.

I pray...I pray...I pray once this is all done i'll be able too be happy, that I'll have the strength too bury my past, and that if I die it'll be too save someone, for another's life is greater then my own. I pray my mother is resting peacefully...and my father...gets what he deserves... Dimitri says in his head.

I pray I won't be a hinderance too the others, that I'll be able too fullfil my destiny and return home, I pray my parents are well and my siblings happy Alexander thinks too himself.

I pray...well that's a first...all i want...is too know my dearest cassandra and little ivan are in a place better then I could have ever given them in life...and that I'll be able too free myself from the bindings tied around me and see the end of the water nation Rellik thinks too himself, keeping it from dimtri.

Alexander reached his hands back and untied his blindfold before lowing it and opening his eyes. Alexander's eyes were no longer the milky white they'd always been but a soft blue. He blinked a few times. "...you look abit different then I'd imagined" He says quiet simply, beaming at rikku.
((Why not right? makes things abit different temporary))

Dimitri started making his way too a table as far as he could from the area, his isolated nature taking over him.

"What do you think?" Rikku asked Curiously. Are colors and things different than you would imagin?" She asked. "And what did you picture me like?" She asked.

Killian

Killian smiled an odd smile. "Be nice to her ok.." He stated kind of sternly. "I don't want to have to make you into an enemy." He said with a smile. "So how did it happen who asked was it you or her?" He said his 17 year old gossipy nature coming out.

Melody.

Melody took Larris' hand and they walked out onto the floor. "Well I don't really no how to dance." She said sheepishly. "It isn't something i ever really learned.."

"I will be nice to her. I don't want you as an enemy either." Jaden said as he crossed his arms and looked over at Rikku as she spoke, then turned back to Killian. "I told her on the Ferris Wheel that I love her." He said as he uncrossed his arms, and notice Melody pull Larris out onto the dance floor, and smiled thinking about dancing with Rikku. "How come you are so interested anyways?" He asked, continuing the conversation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Neither do I." Larris replied to Melody as he smiled an embarrassed smile. "But, on such a night like this, there are many miracles, and who knows, maybe we can dance, even if it is just for one night." He said to Melody as he laid his right hand on her shoulder, and grasped her hand with his left hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sighing, Luna noticed Dimiti sitting by himself and walked over to where he was sitting. Sitting down at the same table, she was silent for a moment as she watched people enjoy themselves. She heard some laughing off in the distance, and the crying of a young child who wanted to go home. After being silent for a moment, she turned to Dimitri and began to speak. "How come you where sitting all by your self?" She asked, thinking that no one should be alone on this night.
