Welcome to Gaia! ::

[will fill in soon ;; ]

Willow nodded. "I know..." Another voice shouting her name caught her attention and she looked around wildly before spotting familiar blue hair. "Tara!" She yelled, running over to her, only letting go of Taika's hand to throw her arms around Tara. "Are you okay?"

[ Stay and fight ]

The tendril figure after rows of attack by the girls started to transform into something else. To Nemi's surprise, a lady appeared.

"I am here to claim what is rightfully ours, nothing more, nothing less." The female voice was powerful and with a taste of dignity.

Confusion.

Nemi just stared at the two started a conversation. Deceived? The witch murmured when loads of messages flushed into her tiny mind. "T-True self....who Nemi really is......Nemi's memories..." For the witch, she was really desperate to get back her memories. She didn't like forced to fight or seeing people suffered at all. True peace sounded like a promise. Should she really follow her?.....Who just attacked them like a few minutes ago......Nemi wasn't sure. "Fluffy......tell me - Is she telling the truth?"

The confused witch looked at the creature sadly, with a disappointed face. If she could choose, Nemi really hoped she was amnesiac and fought for the so-called balance of the two worlds.

< ...! >

As Nemi expected, the creature didn't give any answer. Following the female figure, Nemi raised up her hands and looked at "herself" - a young witch who lost her memories. And then, she picked out the green gemstone, or the Fear Core that the creature called. It was shimmering, fragile feeble flame with cracks running on it. It was breaking, she could tell. She slowly turned to the creature. "You created....us?" It was so difficult to believe she was made for a purpose, she was never free as she wished.

"....Remember who you really are and you will have to fight no longer."

Nemi shook her head vigoriously, she even held her head with her shivering hands. "Nemi can't....Nemi can't remember who she is! Nemi's mind is empty! Just nothing there." The witch seemed like to give up and slowly put her hands down. "You know right? You know what Nemi is........" She wanted to know what thing she was, but she was also afraid to know the truth. The witch did have hope about her past, however, it seemed it wasn't.

False Creations.

That's how the lady called them, all of the girls there who lost their memories and were suffered from agonies. "No......" Nemi closed her eyes and shook her head lingeringly, "Not at all....." Yes. A promise should be acknowledged by both parties, not when one told another what they had promised.

< Please hurry! There is little time left, you have to remember your wish and fight on! >

Nemi gave a cool eye at the monster that appeared all in a sudden. She had reason to suspect that the creature that was in the underdog position summoned it to cut the lady off. She shook her head again.

"There is always a choice for those who seek alternate paths. Come children, I promise you you will not have to fight any more."

Turning to the lady, she smiled. "Thank you for the offering and.....all the truths. That sounds so promising! Nemi really appreciates that. But - I guess - I will stay. Although Nemi hates fighting and violence, Nemi wanted to stay along with other girls still there." The witch paused and looked far away without a focus. "...I really hope we can all meet again...." She said without directing to any target, before leaving the two behind and hurried into the battlefield.





If the tendril monster was level normal, then that canine-like thing was of difficult level. Other girls were wielding their weapons against the thing and the canine creatures retorted with its claws. Nemi noticed that there were two big eye-like features on it, she suspected that they might be its weakness point so she decided to focus on one of the eyes. Shoving the candies she summoned into the ghost's mouth in full capacity, the witch faced the ghost towards the eye and let the candies become small tiny bombs that exploded successively on the creature's body, just like a mini firework.





[ Watch out! ]

The yell brought the witch back to "reality". The witch nearly hit by the swipe but she managed to duck it. Knowing how serious the situation was, Nemi launched her second attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The sparkles that the bombs created let the witch to close her eyes for a second.





"AH!" The short cry from a girl being attacked nearby awoke Nemi. She felt the wet on her face, she was shedding tears. What were those? Memories? Illusions? So nostalgic yet far away.

[ Witch, concentrate on your fight. ] The ghost warned with a plain tone.

Nemi was confused and affected by all of the "memories", they seemed only had adverse effects on her. She felt tired and restless and just wanted everything to end....soon. The witch concentrated to summon as many candies as possible, taking the ritual dance like the rain dance, just instead of water droplets, candies poured down. Nemi stuck all of them to the ghost, without even thinking if it was possible to take all of them without exploding. She was gonna to give it a final go, the most powerful attack she could perform.

"Let's end this." Nemi frowned up while launching the explosion.

Rhosyn managed to make her way over to some of the other girls. Her pale green eyes were hazy and she didn't know what to do or say. She was just tired but she couldn't give up. With everything else going on, she couldn't give up when there were people still fighting. When there were people depending on her. That wasn't... perhaps that wasn't who she was. The dark haired girl made her way over to a smaller group of girls, one of which had been near Macy before. "Who's... who's hurt? What... anyone got any idea what to do next?" She spoke as clearly as she could, looking from one to the other.

Tara hugged the other girl back, with a bit of a crooked smile. What was with all these girls and the hugging? Not that she actually minded it, in fact it was kind of nice. "Willow, it didn't get you!" She looked over the older girl's shoulder, and then stepped half past her to pull the blonde into the hug with them. "And Taika. I'm glad you both made it." Then she stepped back, looking them over, and sighing in relief to see that they were still relatively unharmed. Of course, that would give them a chance to see that Tara wasn't doing nearly so well herself. "Have you seen any of the others we were talking with earlier?"

Then another girl joined them, and Tara shook her head in response to her question. "No, I don't know what we're supposed to do next... but this is getting really dangerous. I don't know... maybe we should leave if we're given another chance." She looked tired; whatever her memory had been, the experience had worn her out.

Remember... wish...

Something about that was important. Grounded her and made her stay where she was. She tightened her grip on her club, felt her knuckles grind, and then launched herself at the enemy.

The first hit reverberated up her arms and made her gasp. When she closed her eyes against the sensation, it wasn't the total darkness she expected to see. Instead, four figures circled her. They were blacked out, no faces, but the shape was so familiar The smallest figure's shoulders shook and a tinkling laugh rang in her ears.

"Come on!" it said.

A taller figure held out it's hand. "Yeah, come on. Together."

The vision was gone the moment Teal opened her eyes and she was bombarded with battle again. She gritted her teeth and forced the vision - memory? - to the back of her mind and took another strong swing. The crack of her club against flesh came with a sudden wave of overwhelming sadness, forcing the air from her lungs.

"Never. Never you."

Teal fought to breathe past anguish, fought to stay in the moment. Her final swing didn't have nearly the amount of strength behind it as the first too. She was too distracted and confused. It connected and she remembered a promise. Something she said she'd do, a return for something. She lets out a frustrated breath, unable to fully figure out what was happening to her.
