Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryn winced as the fire touched his wounds, his eyes slamming shut, as he tried to stay conscious, completely surprised that the fire hurt him. Under his breath, he whispered,"Continue...."

"It... Hurts.... Amazing...", He thought, sitting there, and doing his best not to move, despite the extreme heat that was being applied to his injuries. His eyes shook in their sockets behind his eyelids, as he continued to fight to keep himself from moving, his hands curled into fists. He could feel Izzy's hand on his, but couldn't say anything, for fear of simply passing out if he opened his mouth.

Kin had not relented, instead a wicked grin flashed on his face. It only made the rage burn hotter than ever inside Amati's soul as he began to advance on the male, head low and eyes narrowed. In a blink, Kin vanished and a cold chill ran down Amati's spine. His vision blurred for as an icy horror washed over him, but at the thought of Sakeri. He shook it off and whirled around to see if she was okay.

There he was, kneeled at her side. His wicked grin still in place.
No... he whispered as Kin's hand descended on. At that moment every muscle bunched together, and Amati launched himself at the man with an unknown force.

"SAKE!" he roared.

Sakeri gasped, hands bracing themselves against Kin's shoulders. A vortex formed within her mind, sucking out the very image of the soulless boy and his faded blue eyes. It was as though a weight was lifted from her, and a serenity spread throughout her entire system.

Her emerald orbs shined tiredly through half-lidded eyes, taking in the calm green fields around her. The most dreadful of memories was gone, but the desire to train as she'd never trained before remained intact.

A voice suddenly called out to her, catching her attention within moments. She turned to see Amati charging at them at full force and the alarms suddenly went off, but she didn't have the energy to move.

"What are you doing?" she muttered quietly to the wolf. Amati froze at the sound of her voice, reassured that she was now safe. Collapsing to the floor, he gave a sound sigh of relief.

It was then, Sakeri realized the position she was in and quickly jumped from Kin's arms. She let out a noiseless laugh as she anxiously brushed herself off.

"So..." she sheepishly. "Mining town."

Slowly, Ryn managed to say,"Yes.... Vancouver... is correct..."

He looked up at Tamwyn, a small smile on his face and said,"Thanks.... For helping me...."

Glancing to Izzy, he reached his left hand up slowly, and put it on her shoulder, a dazed smile on his face. His vision swam, but he continued to sit there, looking directly at Izzy, his hand on her shoulder, before saying,"Thanks... Izzy.."

"Whew! That was-" Kin was in the middle of wiping away a cold sweat off his forehead in relief when he heard the ferocious growl of the beast, "Oh?" The cold dispassionate gaze of his frightening left eye landed on the mammoth canine that acted out of hot temper, and his bored expression didn't flinch a bit even after Amati stopped only a little less than a foot short from him and the girl. He broke into a muffle d laugh watching the beast break down into a harmless pup after its relief of seeing Sakeri okay.

He looked down on Saki, her hands gripped tightly unto his shoulders, and almost leaning unto his chest, and his heart froze, pounding at lightning pace in short burst after skipping a few. He knelt there, stiff, as his mouth was about to gawk open in... unexplained overwhelm that took over him before totally caught off guard and easily thrashing unto the ground as he was briskly pushed away by even the lightest of forces. He paused there for a while as he lied on the soft rough grass, listening with complete confusion at her odd chortling, all the while trying to retain his ussual heart beats. "Huh?" he looked up unto her, in a swift flash seeing someone radiant, "Oh, right. Yes, some fun should be posed at the mining town. Perhaps some resue workers or some business man came there to investigate, but the police is my favorite, always there in every crisis," the sly smirk came back unto him as he held his hand unto his normal right eye, chuckling darkly. He sat up, gazing at a small insect that seemed t have been suspended in motion, "Let's squash some bugs..."

He stood up, brutally stepping on the helpless ladybug in the process, and glared unto Sakeri, then to Amati, his smirk not wearing off one bit, "Of course, I'd also like to have some exercise with you guys. Don't worry. I'll play nice." He drew his left hand into a fist, making several hard cracking sounds before slowly loosening it. He raised the hand unto his side, opening his palm in an unnatural 90 degrees from his outstretched arm, his fingers spreading wide. An unnatural force gathered unto the very center of his palm like converging waves, his palm glowing brighter in a ghostly blue hue, before finally releasing them all into one powerful portal that focused itself into a circular pathway of 4 feet radius. Wild static electricity danced about the bue portal, but Kin's grin uttered a sense of confidence that they wouldn't get hurt, only a mere shock of the drastic change of the density of energy in their surrounding once entered. (LOL -though they are probably already familiar with the feeling from the first time they entered.) Kin noded for them to follow immediately, as he was the first to go in.

[[you can always pm him and if he doesn't answer, trying adding a bit more to your last post. OR... Team up with Pen and Bane and start figuring ways to defeat the gods.]]

When Shale stepped out of the tiny apartment she stayed in she had every intention of walking the block and a half to the bus stop and catching the Number 12 to Oliver Street to have a nice dinner with Professor Moore and his wife. Instead she walked down the hall to apartment 8. Arching up on tip toe she reached up against the ledge where Matt Dunem kept his spare key. An hour ago he had left with his friend Chuck on a camping trip.

Her finger slid against cold metal and then she pulled it up, taking the key and inserting it into the lock. With a casual twist she opened the door and went inside, bypassing scatterings of video games that covered the floor as well as a left over pizza box. So far the place wasn't covered in the scent of greasy food left out, but it would by the time Matt got back.

Picking her way over the trails of articles, she walked over to the kitchen drawer where Matt kept his tools and the spare keys to his old black Malibu, currently parked outside the apartment. It took her less than 15 minutes to place everything as it was, as well as the key, and sliding into the beat up seats of the car.

Driving was a different story. The memories from Matt's mind showed her what she needed to do, she slid into the memories, living in them. Putting the key in the ignition, she turned, moved it into reverse and smashed into the car behind her. She looked at it for a while, decided she had backed up far enough, and put it in drive.

She managed to get the car out of the lot without hitting anything else, though there was a close call with a tree. Next thing she was on the Highway on her way to Vancouver, Canada. She wasn't sure how she knew that was her destination or even why she was going there, but she was. Though with situations like this she could never be sure, things changed, but for now that was the direction she felt the pull towards. Eventually she would have to get a map, possibly gas, but for now she just kept going.
