Welcome to Gaia! ::

The world looked nothing like the others. Uni was set in the skies, Duo had little shortage of volcanos and fireflowers and Tres had it's icicle nature. Quatauor was very mountainous, everyone lived in or on top of said mountains, the temperatures were closer to Duo's but had it's winds like Uni however. To spare Mina the torture of climbing up these mountain villages, Eric used the Sky Chaser Jill and Ecalena had built for them. He was rather surprised that it handled so well too...

Once they were there, they were greeted by rather tall men and women of a darker skin tone like Diana. Some of their women were far more immensely pregnant than she was. Diana made Mina look small, she wasn't as tall or as round as they were. They made Mina look like a moon in comparison if they were each an entire world of their own! Each was wearing a specially made dress that either had the stomach portion cut out or had a different stretchy material all together.

A strange people they were. They were more tribal than anything, having markings on their face and on the pregnant women, their stomachs. It was a surprise to see this is where their maid friend came from.

Eric continuously patted Mina on the back. By the time he realized her fears, they were already halfway there, so he kept going. He couldn't stop apologizing to her. Well he definitely knew going to Uni may be a bad idea for her. Returning back to reality, he was just as surprised as Mina was.

"Yeah, no kidding. You'll probably only get to half their size by the end of it..."

The Quatrion women laughed at them, looking at each other. "Tiny Tourists" They muttered and nodded in agreement. "Thank you miss, we like yours too. I don't know why you hide it." Said one of them, she pointed to Mina's BHID# (Breeding House ID Number) peeking out from underneath her armor and confusing it for their own markings. Each bloodline had a unique symbol of it's own, which their pregnant women would wear to honor the new additional family member of said bloodline coming into the world.

A young man around Eca's age of their race walked through the welcoming community. His name was, ironically, Rocky Stones. He rubbed the round bellies of the women, which smiled and hugged him for it. If it wasn't already apparent, being pregnant was serious business to the Quatrion community, considering it took 36 months for them, it would have an impact. He addressed Mina and Eric soon afterwards.

"Hello there, what brings you two to this place?"

Eric was about to speak, but he noticed something awfully suspicious about their people. They were quite a lot of spears being carried around, even by the pregnant ones. They were all built kinda like Mina was too, pregnant but strong muscled nonetheless. He leaned over to Mina and whispered in her ear. "I think we should watch what we say, can't just tell them we're here for the Rock World Ring..."

The villager's tenseness towards the two outsiders began to fade, a warmth replaced it soon afterwards. There was still some doubt however, given the way they were dressed. Rocky nodded his head to their story and smiled to Mina. "Our world is known for having the most refreshing hotspring out there." Said Rocky, he went over several other things before realizing he had not mentioned his name.

"Oh, my name is Rocky by the way."

"I'm Eric, this here is Mina." Said Eric as he introduced them both. Their daughter however, kicked within her mother. Her father having forgetting her in a place that practically made her the star of the family.

(Merry Christmas)

Rocky nodded his head. "I've only heard of such a fantasy world. No dirt, only water so cold it's solid." He said with a chuckle, he truly wanted to believe such a world existed, but he was stuck on this rock. "I will be your designated guide during your stay."

Eric nodded, however he wasn't sure about Rocky's intentions. He gave him all sorts of disapproving looks along the way as their new tour guide showed the around town. A peculiar place out of the ordinary was the training area for their pregnant huntresses.

"Wow, they are really strong."

"Don't your women train hard to feed their growing family?" Asked Rocky, he scratched his head of this once Eric shook his head.

"Well no, actually they just sit around, grow fat, be hormonally unstable, have a need to clean, drive their partners insane and have their baby." He explained, he then hugged Mina and kissed her cheek. "Well, that's usually anyway, I got lucky."

Eric rubbed her back and smiled. Her compliment embarrassed him some.

"Wow, to carry someone else's child for them, you must have really like getting pregnant then." Replied Rocky, as they conversed, one of the woman who was training walked up to them. She noticed Mina's armor.

"Hey, I want to see how weak the tiny tourists are. What do you say?" She said as she cracked her knuckles. "How about a struggle?"

Eric looked at Mina, that was the term for two fighters trying to push the others down with their arm strength?

Eric shook his head and sighed. "And here we go again." He muttered, he wondered how this would work out for her. The native had a height advantage over her. She patted her bare stomach and laughed at Mina wholeheartedly, causing her belly to rumble . "You, I like you already." She put her hands up prepare. Once Mina did the same, they clasped hands and got underway. Both tried to push the other to the ground or off their feet completely. They were dead locked, something which never happened to the native woman before.

"There's a lot of strength in Mina's body. But I should warn you, Veldana has never lost." Said Rocky with a smirk, he was quickly bumped in the shoulder by Eric. "That's alright, neither has Mina."
