Welcome to Gaia! ::

After Danni's parents left the office Shintero's little dragon flew in and landed on Danni's shoulder. The dragon was colored a dark black, showing its anger and sadness for Danni. The little dragon was flying outside of the office waiting for someone to open the door so it could see Ialo. At that time it overheard the conversation and went on and didnt like how it went. It rubbed its head up against Danni's cheek while giving off a small growl that sounded almost like a purr, just so it could try and cheer her up a bit.

Shintero was still waiting by the strange girls bed waiting for her to wake up so he could have her drink the liquid Ophiuchus told him to give her. "I wonder what happen, and who or what hurt you this much?" Shintero looked at her right arm and saw it still held onto her sword. "I bet your arm is getting tired." He tried with all his might to pry the sword but found that she seemed to have an iron grip on it. "Looks like she doesnt want to lose it or something......" He was about to give up when suddenly the sword slid out of her hands and into his as if she unconsiously knew he was a trustworthy person. "Well that was a little......unexpected." He propped the sword up against the side of her bed and then place her arm onto the bed.

The girl tossed and turned in her bed as soon as she let go of her sword. It was almost as if her not having the sword in her hand was giving her nightmares or so it seemed to who ever had somehow removed it from her hand. In her dreams she pictured Her moms boyfriend killing her instead of killing her mom, and covered it up and made it look like someone else did it not letting her mom know it was really him. "No mom get away get away from him hes a murderer." She mumbled as she tossed and turned. Then she suddenly bolted upright fully awake now and breathing heavily, and it seems to her who ever was sitting next to the bed she was on suddenly got startled by her suddenly bolting upright.

"Whoa holy crap" Shintero had nearly fallen out of his chair when the girl sat up abruptly. "Well hello their looks like your awake now." He formed a cup with one of his earth elemental spells and dunked the cup into the container of liquid, filling it up. "My name is Shintero and i was told to give this to you when you woke up" He handed the cup to her.

"T-t-thanks" She stuttered in fear, for of course shes afraid of men and Shintero just so happened to be a guy. "W-w-who told you to give this to me?" She asked because she also had trust issues when it comes to guys.

"The healer Ophiuchus told me to, he said it would help." He answered. hmm i wonder why shes stuttering he thought as he watched her.

She sniffed the liquid a few times to make sure it wasnt foul smelling for if it was it could potentially be toxic. After she confirmed it wasnt foul smelling she took a few sips, and started to feel better with each sip. After a few minutes she suddenly realized her sword was not in her hands. "W-Wheres my sword!!!!" She nearly screamed in fright as she used her ability over metal to send a few shards of her armor flying towards Shintero.

Shintero quickly casted an earth elemental spell to block the sharp metal projectiles, and then shouted a quick response to her question so he could get her to calm down. "Its right next to your bed!!!"

(wow this is long xP guess thats the result of me not posting in a while lol)

"Ah yes the joys of knowing stuff that others don't ... All I have to say is Keep yourself alive my friend, if you do something special will happen this I promise. now if you don't mind I have to return to Danni don't worry about her I will keep her safe. it is my sworn duty."

"tough it out dragon ... the burning flame has returned, the silver light is extinguished ... what are you going to do? feed the fire or light a new one?" with those words the figure returned to danni seeing the dragon next to it. "a baby dragon? ... cool, I wonder if it can see me." the figure twisted around upside down to the dragon.

The handgun slowly loosened from Neon's grip, and it eventually fell to the ground with a clattering noise that neither of them noticed. "Well, I guess you win," she said softly. She was using her powers to feel what Dymetri was feeling, and could see why he insisted 'getting to know her'. "Although I must say... you could have just asked me earlier....." It felt strange, talking while being bitten.

Sly and Eleanor smiled at Lin Yin, very happy with her response to what they said. "The Eastern Forest? Why yes, as a matter of fact. A beautiful place, full of magic and mystery. When the sun hits just right through the trees, it's a beautiful sight." Eleanor said, and Sly nodded his agreement. "Yes, it is. I think you'd enjoy meeting my daughter, Lia." As if she'd been waiting for their cue, Ambrose and Lia walked out the front doors then, spotting their parents.

"Hi Papa!" Lia said brightly, then smiled at Lin Yin. "Hi, I don't think I've met you before. I'm Lia Rinaldi, and this is my brother Ambrose. Who're you?" She asked, smiling brightly at the elf.


Danni ran a hand over the dragon's back as it rubbed against her, and Night managed to work a wobbly smile from her when he started going upside down. But then she looked out the window, and visibly froze. she could see Cook's shack from here, could see him walking towards it, his back to her. She dashed over to the window, pressing her hands up against it as she stared at him adn the three dogs that ran out to meet him halfway to the shack.

As if sensing her, Cook turned, looking up towards the window. For an endless moment, their eyes met. His were filled with apologies, regrets. He raised a hand above his head and out to the side, spreading his fingers. She followed suit, spreading her fingers over the glass. A single tear spilled down her cheek, dropping to the floor as she stared at the best father figure she'd ever had...and ever lost. Eventually, in a moment that seemed far too soon to Danni, Cook lowered his hand, and met her eyes one last time before turning on his heel and made his way to his shack. He looked back only once, but by then Danni's face had disappeared from the window...

He grunted. The vibration of her throat as she spoke made his lips tingle. It wasn't enjoyable if he was sucking her blood. He pulled his fangs out from inside her and licked at the purple wounds he left on her. It contrasted between her pale skin, like her hair. He sighed and was breathing heavily, as if he just ran halfway around the world without stopping. Like she herself, Neon's blood was colorful. It had many flavors. First tasting it, it had a bit of a sour taste. Continue indulging, it turned sweet. As you finish, it's spicy and worth it.
He softly kissed the marks and whispered to her, cooling the injuries with his breath. "Asked you what, little one?"
He let himself slide onto the ground beneath him, pulling Neon with him. Her leg ended up wrapping around his body while the other was bent and open next to him. He let her rest on his chest, softly playing with her hair as he listened to her breathing slow.

"Yes, I recall hearing that. It was a beautiful sound. Ambrose, you were with us. Don't you agree?" Sly asked, and Ambrose looked up from the ground and forced a smile, nodding. "Right, Pa. I'd wondered why I could never tell where it was coming from." He said, smiling briefly at Lin Yin before looking at the ground again. There was an image stuck in his head of a pale face, wide eyes, and a broken expression. It was haunting him, no matter how hard he tried to force it out of his mind.
