Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aisha walked down the crowded streets, trying to keep herself from bumping into other people, while looking around for anything interesting. She had just done a small job delivering a package to one of the vendors on the street and she was given an apple as payment. She didn't complain about it, since food was food and in her life, even an apple meant she would survive for another day. Taking a small bite into it, she took out a good sized piece and swallowed it happily. It was the first bite of food she had today so she wasn't going to waste it by eating it too quickly, even if her stomach wanted to eat it quickly. Taking a moment to stop and look around, she had decided to go down a street she had never gone down before. She passed it often while doing her small jobs, but she never had any reason to go down it until today. There was still no reason for her to go down the street, but her curiosity made her legs walk down the street, looking at all the things she hadn't seen walking on the main road. Sadly, this was the most exciting decision she had made in the last few days. Before this one, was her decision to follow a stray cat around the roads and she had gotten lost. She did that often when she left the main road, but it was always worth seeing the new sights.

Feeling that she had explored enough of the new street to satisfy her curiosity, she turned down a street that she hoped would take her right to the main street. After a few minutes of walking she had finally made it to the main street, which surprised her a little bit since she usually got lost on her little adventures. As she walked down the main street, she saw a group of +Anima and she decided to get a bit closer to them, though she was still a good distance from them. She stayed close enough so that she could hear them, but she hoped she was far enough that they wouldn't notice her.

The older male reached out a hand to pat him on the head, but then thought better of it. It was better not to let the rabbit know that he was attracted him; better not to get attached. He was prey - weak, and unreliable. It wouldn't do, to get to like him and then have to endure the pain of his death.

Death didn't bother Deitricht - he'd seen freinds come and go - but he couldn't say that the feelings attached to those who were his freinds weren't painful when thought about. He knew the distinction between the feeling of loss and a fear of death. He did not fear death, and so, he could only know the pain of loss.

If his thoughts were in turmoil on the inside, his face didn't show it for more than an instant. "Just keep it in mind. Only the strong survive to tell tales."

He turned away, and then looked back. "It's better that you should fear me - I smell it on you - I'll only bring you down."

Henry blinked a few times, stunned by what happened. Was he threatened by the older man? or was it a warning? Maybe helpful advice? How was this small girl so brave? Was there something more to her than what one saw at first glance? Henry grew annoyed at his wandering mind and blinked a few more times, then looked at the small girl. "How are you able to be that brave to dash at hunters like that?" He questioned her. It didn't make sense to him. He turned to the Hyena man to ask him a question, but stopped and stared, before turning back to the Girl.

((I can't believe you just used the words 'For serious'.... I seriously about fell off my chair laughing when I saw it... XD But no - it was funny. ^_____^))


Detricht seemed lost in thought, but in all actuallity, he was trying to calculate the likelyhood of the hunters coming back.

Once sure that they wouldn't dare, he turned his attentions to the swan and the hare, sighing, as though in resignation. "I suppose that this would mark a turning point. My name is Deitricht Vaughn Richter," He drawled, as though bored. He had a dark almost germanic accent when he allowed himself to slip into it, and he was certainly slipping... "And I suppose that I'll be traveling with you. It's been awhile since I've traveled with anyone still living, so do forgive me if I seem a little coarse - however, I have to lay down some ground rules."

He paused, and then continued. "I will not tolerate any of you talking about your anima as if it is a burden. Not only is it disrespectful to the soul that saved you, but it is self depreciating and akin to asking for death. Secondly, do not question me when and if I have to kill. If an enemy is fought, I will kill that enemy for the good of everyone here. Lastly, I would like my personal space."

He lowered his hood for the first time in a while, and showed the rest of the heavy anima markings on his face. "Is it understood?"

((Sorry, been busy))

Sally looked up at the new arrival. "Hiya, I'm Sally. You didn't tell us yours, did you?" She asked with a smile.

Serrenedy ran closer to the wall, still in the trees, almost randomly she threw him up. "Get over the wall, tell Sally I'm shopping for something" She ordered before turning back to the hunters, using a tree to crush one of the arrows. "GO!!" She turned back to them. "Shoot me one more time you d@mn F*cktards" She demanded. As an arrow buried itself in her shoulder she let out a scream and started to change. A few hunters ran when they saw the talons come out, but the idiots that stayed had their hearts basically torn out. She turned back and looked down at her bloody clothes, then at her arm. "Dude, seriously?" She sighed and went off to first find clothes so Sally wouldn't worry, then to find the gate.

"Detricht...wow, coll name, I'm warning you from now, I'll just end up shorting that." She giggled. "Are you from up north? You sound German, THAT'S SO COOL. We, well-I have to wait for my sister, I wonder what taking so long with Davey and his cats?" At that moment she heard the scream. "Renna-that's Ren's scream...she hurt." The tears started to come almost automatically. She fell to the ground. "REN" She whimpered as scenes of death and pain flashed through her mind. Her shell grew aound her as she huddled into a ball underneath.

She was a bit surprised when she was told that her stuttering was annoying, but she didn't think harshly at her. She was probably right, but Aisha had never talked to anyone before, so she didn't know what to say a lot of times. Looking at the others, and then back to the girl, she gave a small bow and said. "T-Thank you." She gulped when she realized that she had stuttered again, but she hoped that it wasn't noticed. Trying harder to talk this time, she said. "I'm Aisha, a cat +anima.."

(You know I've always wondered..when they say +Anima, do they say it as "plus anima" or something else? Plus Anima sounds really funny though)
