Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yusake's eyes went wide when he was called by the woman next to him. "Wha...? GAH! I said LEAVE! This isn't your fight! Get the fu...AH!" Yusake called out as he moved to the right suddenly away from Scy. He did this moments before a large mass of red, thick liquid spewed past him. Yusake screamed down at the creature, who's own tongue was now extended from its mouth. The end of the tongue had five smaller appendages, like tentacles, opened around a large circular mouth. The mouth was the same kind of mouth one would find on a leech. Again, it spewed the crimson, liquid that missed Yusake, spitting twice more before barely catching his right arm and sword. Immediately after this, Yusake flung the substance off of his undamaged arm and sword. When it came into contact with a nearby rock, the rock and grass around it hissed and melted down as if covered in acid. The beast then ripped its hands from in the ground, causing a large cloud of dust to spread around its body and form in mere seconds. A rush of wind then occured, causing Yusake to cover his eyes and rise back up above the tree's. When he opened them...the creature was gone.

"What...? What the hell?! Where the hell did he go?!?" his answer would be given soon, as the creature landed quite suddenly behind Shien with a very loud crash. It just so happened that right now, Shien's own wave of ice was about to run into Michio, who was now launching in the direction of where the monster WAS. He would be the one cut up and frozen as the horror landed behind Shien, swiping its right claw down at him with the same speed as it displayed when it attacked Yusake with its claws. "Idiot! Get out of the way!" Yusake was already soaring toward the beast and Shien, but he would not reach it before the claw came down.

The ancient forest is very old and shrivelly, there were swamps and creaks curving through some parts to another part of the forest, there were a few old trees growing through the waters, it was haunting, but beautiful at the same time. Butterflys ran through the forest, swarming the forest with utter beauty, the trees were deformed through beauty, the bark was a dead white but the plant is still living, the leaves were an unatural purple but the flowers growing on the trees were blood red, thus the tree was named the bleeding tree.

There layed on a branch of the bleeding tree was a women, she had a slender body and soft fragile skin, like a baby would have. her eyes matched the flowers, the color of blood. Her hair was long and black, almost like threads. Her skin was very ghost-like, but in a gothic kind of beauty. She was wearing long black pants with a red butterfly design on the side. Her shirt was a low cutt black long sleeve, the sleevs had black lace and frills. Clipped on her hair was a butterfly, matching the design on her pants. Her name is Feena, a phantom. Not any kind of phantom, she was special, her powers are unbelieveble. She uses threads and needles like a pupet master.

"There is bad habbits everywhere" she said softly as she leaned back on the trunk of the tree as she sensed something terribly wrong in the area, something was disturbing the animals and the plants greatly. Her blood red eyes examining the area heavily. It wasn't long ago, well actually a few years ago, when Ai sacrificed half her health to restore her sister back to life since it wasn't her time to pass away. Funny thing is, that Feena is not all back togther meaning, her feelings are broken. All she can feel is sarcasism, beaing cold, and isolation.

Suddenly the birds swarmed into packs, more and more joined the pack, then she swiftly noticed the animals swimming through the creaks, trying to get out of the forest. There was something disturbing the area, this now has fasinated her greatly. But was that her destiny to see what is going on in the depths of the forest. Yes it is. If you believe that your destiny is decided, then most likely, its decided. If you believe that nothing is decided, then most likely, nothing is decided.

Heaven ablaze in our eyes
We're standing still in time
The blood on our hands is the wine
We offer as sacrifice

This endless mercy mile
We're crawling side by side
With hell freezing over in our eyes
Gods kneel before our crime

She chanted those words through out the forest, her blood eyes closed as she drew a circle with a few rather unknown symbols. Soon a form of black liquid swarmed and circled around her body, like it was eating her up, she was actually transporting somewhere. To see what was causing this commotion.

There, her transport circle lead her to anenormous monster. With a thick grin, her hand rested on a trunk of another bleeding tree.

"I don't see what so great about this madjestic monster." Feena said.

Kat kept hidden under the broken trees, thankful of her small shape as she gazed up on what was happening.
She couldn't bring herself out, almost scared of what was going to happen but when she saw the people getting hurt she finally climbed slowly out of her hiding place, now standing with perfect balance ontop of them and gazing up at the monster.
Though she made no move against it she also showed no fear for it even though the fear ate at her insides.
She kept her left hand around the strap of her shoulder bag as the right one rose up to run though her hair, her usual sign for nervousness.
"Why all the pain?" She whispered to herself as she watched with sad eyes, almost wishing she could do something to help but had no idea of what to.
She didn't know what the creatures reaction to her being in view would be like, she cause no threat though as she knew that would simply make things worse.

Shien watched as the creature vanished for a moment, then nearly had a heart attack as it landed behind him, the force of the landing blowing his hair up quite a bit. He spun, just in time to witness the thing swiping at him. He didn't have time to form much of a plan, and nothing would have worked better then what he did anyway. In the split second before the claw would have driven Shien into the ground like a human shaped nail..

Shien simply shot to the side in a blur of motion that one could only call 'Really, really fast.' and landed on one knee, skidding on the grass. He was rather lucky the creature had knocked down all the trees nearby, or he'd have smashed into one of them. Getting back on his feet quickly, he faced the creature once more and shook his head, clearing a bit of the uneasy feeling in his stomache he'd gained from flying at such speeds.

He quickly made sure his cigarette was still lit, then put Snowfault in his left hand and raised his right, palm out towards the creature. He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth tightly. He just hated how much this hurt. First, the smoke around him began to draw forth, towards his palm, collecting in large wisps of bluish smoke. Then the smoke started to..seep? into the pores along his arm, causing him to grit his teeth even tighter, a small crack forming in one. He raises his arm towards the creature's chest, trying to keep his aim as good as possible for this.

There was a loud whistling sound, and a very fast light blue blur shot from Shien's hand toward the creature. Then another whistle, and another blur, and this repeated. All in all, 4 of these 'blurs' shot from Shien's palm at the creature. All were aimed at his chest or his legs. Shien crumpled to his knees slightly, recovering from that taxing bit of magic.

Michio had rested, so he stands up and runs at the beast with his blade already out. He jumps up and points his sword at the creature. He needed to disttract the monster, so others could attack to distract it for his distraction, and so on and so forth. In other words, confuse it.

Siren drew closer to the battle when she felt strong vibartions rushing through the air, they were strong and coming in her direction. By the speed and force of the vibrations she knew whatever it was, it was large and dangerous. Imediately she dropped to her hands and knees. Her breathing grew heavy as she kneeled in the grass, the whip clutched tighter than ever in her right hand, waiting patiently for it to pass so she didn't get hurt. What have i got myself into this time?...ok mustn't panic here, stay calm or you'll mess up..that wont help at all

As seh knelt she could make out voices, some screaming in rage as they attacked and others in pain. She could hear swrods crashing, feel other powers in the air around her, it was obvius something big was happening.
Sensing that it had passed she got up slowly and wieghed out her options as she moved to the side.
leave now and you wont be hurt..or killed, no if i leave then they will i cant..no i wont. I've come so far now i might aswell help
and with her desiscion she moved stealthily towards the battle.

The creature barely seemed to notice Michio, stomping its way after Yusake became its higher priority as it rushed toward him. Michio would his own problem to contend with though as the creature's tail snapped up whil it ran under him, the blade cutting and vertically at Michio. It would immediately and easily cut through his body should it hit. Blocking the blade would not be much better either, for even IF Michio's sword could resist such a large, powerful blade he would still be hit with the full force of the much larger object. Yusake flew above the beast as it came for him, he kept his eyes down...however tha was an unfortunate thing seeing is how he could not see the falling rocks coming for him from above. He barely had the time to curse at Scy as he looked up, seeing she to be indirectly responsible for the rocks. But there was no time to yell or to be angry as Yusake was forced to immediately avoid another swipe of the monster's claw. He moved low into the trees as the creature thrust its claw at Yusake, again avoiding it. Finally, the creature moved several steps forward to catch up with Yusake, its tail turning up and firing two vollies of its needle spines at Scy, who was still in the air, doing so without even looking.

At this moment, it brought both hands into the air, swiping them across the forest in a blurred, furious rush of speed. Yusake had no choice but to rise out from the trees as the two massive claws came through. A large cloud of brown dust rose into the air and filled an area of the forest a good twenty-five meters or more ahead of the creature. But it was at this moment did the creature pause, as did Yusake. The young man's eyes widened as the dust began to settle, and there he saw below him that the trees had been completely cleared out. What remained was shards of wood and splinters blanketing the entire ground. Saw dust like particles and bits of what remained, all in a huge arching dome shape in front of Citedal. But it was with this that he had only enough time to glance at before his vision blur...and his body weakened. Yusake slowly stuttered in the air before he clumisly fell, barely able to keep from landing too hard, barely able to stand after landing. His breathing became heavier then before, and he only had the time to turn to the beast as it began to take in a deep breath...Yusake's vision starting to fade ever so slightly as he recalled the barbs grazing his skin and cutting him.
