Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sora looked at the pillar through which Arae had stepped through, and placed his hand on the cool stone. Solid stone met his fingertips. He pushed forward, and it didn't budge. "I guess we really do have to have our names on those tablets," he said, and walked over to it. He looked over the list of names, which varied from Dragon to human to elf...even to dwarf. He placed his hand over the tablet of stone, and in a breath of Ancient, a light shone under his hand. He removed it, showing his named etched deep into the rock, joining as the sixteenth person. Something about this place assured him, similar to the clearing near here, where Alianae had instructed him to take his powers as Key.

Kalios stepped over to the tablet next, and in the same Magical procedure, had his name etched upon it. Seventeenth person.He didn't know why, but this seemed familiar to him. Whether it was from the endless dreams he had, or an actual memory, he had no clue. But it was there, nagging at the back of his mind.

Terra looked upon the tablet, and pointed a claw at the tablet stone, using the nail to claw her name into the stone. Eighteenth person...er...dragon. She stood next to Sora and Kalios, who were patiently waiting for the rest.

"Are you guys going to sign?" Sora asked Minasia and May calmly. "You don't have to go if you don't want to."

Sora looked at Araedinae, and then at May and Minasia. Doubts started to enter his mind, about his chance of survival, where he would end up...and whether he would see Alagaesia or Minasia ever again. He walked over to Minasia, and looked into her eyes. He almost couldn't bring himself to look at them.

"I...I'm sorry, Minasia," he said, almost looking down in shame. What he was sorry for? He didn't know himself. But in the abyss of his heart, it was obvious. "I love you," he said, and held her in a tight embrace, as if to take her with him through the pillar.

Kalios looked at May, his cold eyes melted into sadness. He couldn't bring himself to go up to May and perform the same gesture of emotion that Sora had. At least, he normally wouldn't. But he felt himself being pulled to her, trying to express himself, his feelings, his hopes, his dreams. But the words were choked at his throat, stuck in a gelatinous mess of fear and phleghm. He touched May's shoulder lightly, and felt a claw at his mind, through Sora's. He recognized Terra's voice, soothing to his mind. Come on...Let's go, she said.

Kalios and Sora separated from the two noble elves, and headed to the Pillar. "I'm ready to go," Sora and Kalios said to Araediane, Sora's eyes red as tear slowly streamed down his face. A sole tear rolled down Kalios's face as they stepped through the Pillar, and into the Unknown with Terra and Araediane.

((I know, I know. Probably too dramatic for now. But it's the beginning of the end. I might as well make it some-what melodramatic...))

Sora looked around him from the moment he entered the pillar. Immediately in front of him was a large granite stone, on which undescribable characters flittered across the polished surface. He saw a collection of the same marks emerge from the rocks, and look towards him. The characters blended together until they formed a flickering human body. It appeared to be him, just...older. One of the marks was shining brightly on his forehead. Shur'tugal Hljödhr. He then said in a quick mind-link to Araediane, "I see a Silent Rider."

Kalios saw a different place than Sora, although Sora and Terra's mind both superimposed on his, as his no doubt superimposed on theirs. He saw a battleground, with skeletons and decomposed bodies fighting on one side, and on the other, a scared army, armed with swords that were swarming with the same characters on Sora's stone. He saw a version of himself, standing next to a woman bearing a bell bandolier. Fricai abr Freohr. Kalios then made his own statement to Araediane. "The Friend of Death is the path Destiny laid out for me."

Terra saw a completely different fate than those of Sora or Kalios. She saw a long, deep tunnel, with no light. She saw a young elf running into her stretch of tunnel, and a spirit familiar to the Riders, and to the dwarves. Du Gata Deloi. Terra's turn to give in her fate's name. "I see The Earthed Path."

They had all given in the names of their fates, and now were waiting on Araediane to make her next move.

((This is the best I could come up with...sorry if it doesn't go up to plotline sweatdrop .))

Terra felt her mind crawl through the branches of Fate that had become open to her through this window. She dragged Sora and Kalios' Fates along with hers, back into a time where they were together. Seemed like this was a long branch of Fate.

Finally, she got to the point where they were last together. Their Fates were harmonized one final time.

They were outside the Pillar, with Minasia and May as well. Araediane was there, and the spirit of Alianae could be felt looming heavy.

And then they were separate. Kalios and Terra went one way, with a shimmer of Fate accompanying them, south to Tronjheim. But Sora...he went a stray path in the Woods, following Araediane's movements. There was another place he had to go, close and far to all, at the same time.

I see the Rock of Kuthian, Sora told Arae. In Alalea.

Sora, Terra, and Kalios looked at each other from the distance. Even after such a short time, they were separated from each other by Fate. While Kalios and Terra were with each other on their voyage, it seemed that they were millions of miles away.

Sora quickly sent one last thought to the others, who had been part of his life for so long. We'll be back together, one time or another. Whether it's in Alalea, Alagaesia, or this new "Old Kingdom," we'll still meet up in the end. Araediane said. He couldn't escape the feeling that they wouldn't see each other again, though. They would be sent to three different lands...three different worlds. What Fate had in store for him was a mystery, as well. Few even knew of the Rock's existence, and of those few, only the immortals knew what it was for. Kalios would be leading an army with Death. Terra would be watching over Tronjheim...but Sora was lost in the woods, unsure of his future, whether or not he'd even see another elf again.

The three turned back, grouped into two groups. Kalios and Terra went to Tronjheim with the spirit, only to be split apart there. And Sora went down another path, with Araediane in the lead. "Let's go then."

((This is probably going to be my last post. Unless one of you guys emails me of a new plot twist that desperately NEEDS me to post. Otherwise, I relinquish all control of my characters(for communication needs ONLY) to isidar_mithram. And, if any of you guys are going to email me, here's my email: sorani172@gmail.com

And either way, email me whenever you get the chance about any new plot twists in this RP or in Clash.

It's been great RPing with you, Isidar and Minasia. May your blades stay sharp smile

~Sorani))

Oi.... This is a sad, sad tale indeed.
A tale... With no end, I fear, as one of our main arteries has been cut off. And, in any case, it was simply a matter of time before this died off...

Ah, 'tis a sad day indeed, the one I realise Sorani is gone...
I've lost my romantic partner...
Because, I don't know if you realised it, but we mostly paired together in every RP we possible knew. xD


T'was fun while it lasted, and fun in our minds
As we leave the future to us, and the past, behind.

..Wow. I didn't notice how poetic that was. xD
In any case...
Hm. Get other people to-
WAIT!
I know.
We make an other thread - The return of the Wardens.
In it, there'd be...Five people. Two men and three women. The two men would be Kalios and Sora's souls locked in different bodies; they might have made the tranfer some time before they died in the great assult on Galbatorix. Which, as we all know, failed. MISERABLY.
May and Minasia would've done the same thing, strictly renouncing and REFUSING to accept their condemned fates, sealing THEIR souls in the bodies of newborns. Alianae... Well, I don't know WHAT she does then. xD

That would be... The next generation. But, it's still too far back. We need to go through two more generations. THEN, that's when we come into Eragon's time. The Wardens would be... Like his secret guard. Protecting his while he's in his own little world of pure bliss, blood and battle(yay the three b's!! xD). And we could start from there, and have someone take two premades; Sorani's characters.

I don't know if this could actually work...
It's an idea that just hatched in my head...
And, even though it just hatched, I think that there's already an other RP we have that resembles this, right...?

Wow..the story of the Wardens is so..complicated..how would you explain it? So many details..forgotten.. Minae, May, Kalco, Sora, Kalios, Alianae.. Ruialusia, Luirasua, Saurulia.. Red Magick, Blue Magick, Green Magick..The Sorcerer(?) who locked away their memories..The Key to Unlocking them..

I suppose..you just have to pick a few details..for this new RP.. Good Luck Minae!
