Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Bleh. *presses pause* Sorry Aya but I gotta go lie down. I don't feel so good. u.u I'll reply when I get on again later tonight *shuffles off* ))

Izzy walked on down the road going as Nym pointed and tugged on her shirt. She passed two or three emptied houses not a soul stiring in any of the houses. The lights were out and even a few of the glass broken by what looked to be rocks or possibly even animals. Finally Nym pointed at one of the houses. Izzy stopped just in front of the house. It was a medium sized house with cream colored paint, very few of the windows were broken and the ones that were were just cracks. Nym kept her little hand out seeming to reach for the house. "Mo... ma..." Nym said slowly. Izzy looked down at Nym and sighed. This must have been the house where she and her family had lived.

Moments after Nym had spoken she began to kick and squirn trying to get loose of Izzy. Finally Izzy placed her down and the instant Nym's little feet touched the ground she was off at a fast walk for a child her age. Izzy quickly followed her but Nym made it inside the house before Izzy caught up to her. Inside not much had been disturbed from the previous occupants all that seemed different was the dust and spider and cobwebs that were everywhere. A few pictures hung on the wall some of two adults a male and a female. One, the female, seemed to have the same skin tone that Nym had except a little darker and the male was normal toned. As Izzy looked down the wall she spotted a few more pictures the man and woman were in them but there was also a little baby in the picture. The baby was an exact replica of Nym only a little younger. Izzy sighed looking down at Nym who was also peering at the pictures. "So shall we stay here?" She asked Nym.

Nym looked away from the pictures and over to Kadaj as he came closer and knelt down before her. Pointing back up at the picture with her little hand she said. "Momma... Pappa..." The way she spoke it was as though she was showing Kadaj her family in the picture. That was family and she wanted Kadaj to know that too.

Nym frowned slightly and nodded. "Momma? Pappa?" Nym repeated in more of a questioning tone with her arms up in a shrug. Izzy just stood back and listened she could tell by the way Kadaj spoke that he too had been one of the ones to loose their parents.

"I'm ashamed to admit that I'm woefully ignorant of what it takes to be a shaman. I just barely found out I'm an ice shaman from Albin and that's why I can only see and hear spirits clearly during the winter. When the weather's warm it doesn't work as well. I can still see spirits ocassionally but they look fuzzy and indistinct. And forget about trying to hear what they're saying." Angie trailed off into silence and fidgeted with his shoelaces, peeking up at Zai.

(( I am feeling much better now, Aya. Thanks. ^^ Sorry I wasn't back earlier, though. The weather got nasty >< ))

"Am I going to have to find someone else to show me how to do that? Or is it going to be one of those 'practice makes perfect' kind of things?" Angie asked, meeting the older shaman's eyes.
