Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zaul


"Wha..." Zaul blinked in befuddlement as Krystal practically implied she was from a whole 'nother world, and one that was destroyed at that. "...Wow. I'm sorry t' hear that, ma'am." _O;;

And then this man...was he implying that he was from a world outside this one too? "The world that is not familiar" to him...it sounded kind of off the way he said that... The worlds had been together for about four-and-a-half years, so surely any agents from Mizuho who were tasked to have already checked out the Sylvarant areas. "Well, yer in luck 'cause that's just about th' same thing she asked." He pointed at Krystal with his thumb. "Anyhoo, this's---whoa!" For a moment, he looked to the side because the rampaging dragon caught his eye, and he dodged out of its way as it zipped past him. Looking back to the two, he continued, "As I was sayin'. This world's called Aselia, but right now, it's split inta two, Sylvarant n' Tethe'alla. We're currently on Sylvarant." Glancing, for a moment, at the scene where the "young man" restrained the dragon, he made a sigh of relief. Turning back his attention to Krystal and the ninja, he added, "D'you guys wanna talk somewhere a li'l calmer? We're in th' busiest part of town, might get hard t' communicate."

Rief - Palmacosta

At last, the young Mercury Adept had reached the gates of the town he had spotted, and he was panting. He had additionally been pestered by a few giant beetle creatures, but that wasn't too bad; he only had to use his staff to whack them away.

Upon entering further in, he noticed that the signs were written in an alphabet that he had never seen before, and that made him a bit nervous. If he couldn't tell what place was what, he wasn't sure where he could go for information. At the very least, he could try to get by on context clues like any painted pictures in the signs, or what the appearance of the structures implied.

After looking around and with some luck, he found a shop. What it sold wasn't the usual fare he'd see in Weyard. Instead of health-replenishing Nuts and Herbs, there were a variety of what he was told were "gels". There was also an assortment of bottled potions, some that mimicked the effects of Waters of Life, Sacred Feathers, and Antidote herbs. The shopkeeper looked at Rief a little weirdly while he asked what was what, thinking that this was a kid who might've never been outside in his life.

Rief ended up buying a couple of maps. Originally, he asked for just one, but the shopkeeper said something about him needing another one because "the worlds are currently separated and who knows when they'll be put back together." Such words struck him as odd, as he knew Weyard wasn't exactly in a state the shopkeeper described. This made him begin to wonder deeply and worriedly where exactly he was now. What confused him was that he was able to pay for his maps with his coins (which, unbeknownst to him, looked coincidentally like Gald, and he thought the shopkeeper just had a funny way of pronouncing "gold"), but what was this unfamiliar writing he was seeing everywhere? And these items he had never seen anywhere else?

Leaving the store, Rief looked for a place where he could sit down and examine his maps, soon ending up taking a bench at the plaza. He was in for a surprise once he unraveled them---the layout of the lands did not match Weyard's at all! He even took out his own map of his home world to do side-by-side comparisons and confirm. The revelation made almost made him quiver out of fear and sheer astonishment---it was overwhelming to think that he truly was in another world.

((Okay, now would be a good time for anyone to chance upon Rief. 3nodding If anyone has any characters right in the town of Palmacosta. I can wait. Otherwise, I may get him to start moving again a few posts later.))

Asgard

Krystal frowned slightly when Zaul said that he was sorry to hear about Cerinia's destruction. "To this day, I'm unsure on what caused its destruction." She said just before the dragon caught her eye when it passed by them. She would jump back to get out of the way, though she took a defensive stance as she held her staff just as Zaul mentioned about they were in Aselia. "A world split in two? How is that even possible?" There was a look of confusion in the blue vixen's eyes. After noticing that the dragon was tamed, she relaxed slightly then turned her attention to Zaul and the ninja. "Yes, it would be best to find a more comfortable spot."

Triet Desert

"Sure." Aeris replied to Lee as she raise her arms in the air, her rod floating parallel to the ground. She would cast Thunder, a low-level lightning spell, on the scorpion to finish it off. She would glance over to Lee and Luka with a soft friendly smile. "Thank you both very much for your help. I almost thought that I would be the only one traveling through this desert." ^_^

House of Salvation (Palmacosta area)

Ashton pointed his thumb at his back. "Like we said, these guys are demons... Sort of." The dragons nodded.
Miles also nodded. "So it would seem. In any case, thank you. I truly wish I could look around for myself, but I'm just an old priest." He seemed truly sorry that he had to ask others to investigate for him, even if it was only looking around a bit while they traveled. "If you wish to stay here, feel free to use our facilities."
"I don't know, Miles. I gotta find out how to get back home." Ashton seemed to want to leave at once, for the day was still young. The dragons seemed to be questioning his decision. "Not that I don't like you! You've been great to me, but I... I just want to go home." Even though it was interesting, he wanted to return to Expel. He did seem to think that he was giving the wrong impression, however. He didn't want to seem like he was hurrying to leave these people because he disliked them. "And, you know, the day is still young..."

Sheena tried to take in what the boy was saying, which was mostly gibberish it seemed. She sighed, trying to relax her way out of the tense feelings that near-fight brought. Giving the boy her attention, Sheena took a more relaxed pose, as she mentally cataloged the boys words. "I see. You're in a land called Sylvarant now. I don't know your Society, but it sounds like your crazy. No one here knows of any place like that. Your duty doesn't seem fitting here either." She paused, frowning in thought. "You must be from another land entirely. In our travels we saw much of the worlds we live in. The place your speaking of must either be in another world, hidden from our own, or at least, not on the mainlands of either continent." She explained, looking around. "How did you get here?" She pressed, deciding that this was just important enough to stay around for. Otherwise, she needed to be moving on. The shadow was a terror every second it was left alone.

Asgard Ryu Hayabusa

The ninja seemed confused. Where he came from dragons were not means of transportation, he spoke up after Zaul finished. "That's strange... Dragons are ancient creatures, I never remembered them being able to be ridden on"
As Zaul told them about the comet, The ninja stared up at the sky. He began to speak as he was looking up still. "A comet? how could a comet cause worlds to separate...? Perhaps this is why Ive been brought here"

The ninja, after hearing Zaul's introduction, realized he himself never gave his name. "Pleased to meet you Zaul, Im Ryu Hayabusa. I am the leader and lone survivor of the Hayabusa clan"

He then turned to Krystal, adding on to what he said. "Pardon me for asking...Would it be any trouble to get your name?"


Iselia

The metal figure stood up, he somehow made a screen appear in front of him, he began moving his finger around it, and tapping the screen.

He let out a sigh, and then it all of the sudden closed.
"I guess there is no data here, It looks like ill have to move on"
He turned towards the gate, heading in the direction of Triet.

Sheena shook her head. Land of the dead, hell butterflies? The pair had to be from far away, or completely crazy together. Sheena wanted to know more, and part of her wanted to help them return to wherever they came from, but this seemed unrelated to the shadow all together. She was wasting time just sitting here, though they were interesting and probably valuable for information. "I would like to help you out, but I'm afraid I have important things to do." She said, before turning and walking away. "I'm going towards a town called Triet. Its in the desert south of here." She explained, before starting down the forest path. The pair were so strange, it left her irritated, but also curious to know more. For now, learning about their home wasn't as important as the problem at hand. Finding Lloyd would help, but he was always on the move, so things would not be so easy. Sheena paused, realizing she had forgotten her manners. "I'm Sheena, by the way. Sheena Fujibayashi." She said back to them, before continuing. Times like this made her wish she had a Rheiard.

House of Salvation (Palmacosta area)

Youmu too wanted to get it all over with and go back to Gensokyo. Hopefully her mistress would understand that she needs the rest after what she was planning to do, but she probably wouldn't. "Well, if you can't come along, and since I might as well try to do this and see if it gets me home, I could tell you about it if I ever come by again, if you'd like that?" She said. He did explain a few things to her after all and did give her some tea, so story telling is the least she could do for Miles.
Youmu was taken aback by Ashton's statement about the day still being young. "U-umm, yes, it is still young, isn't it?" She didn't mean to sound awkward at the beginning, but she really did not know where Ashton was planning to go with that.

((AHHHH!!! Crappy post is crappy))
