Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rina smiled at the stranger that gave her the vial. She excepted it, but once the girl's back was turned she handed it to Rani. Rani looked at his twin. "She gave it to you to numb the pain with." He said in a low vioce for only Rina to hear. "Arn't you going to use it?" Rina shook her head, using Rani as a hand up to stand. "No," the blonde said quietly. "There will be another time that we will need that. The pain is numbed all ready. It wouldn't be smart to use everything on such a small wound." In reality, the shard had went halfway through her leg. Thanks to Blade's quick thinking, she was saved from the bloodloss. They needed to find a healer soon. For Blade's and her sake. Rani sighed and walked her over to a tree. Rina leaned against the tree while Rani went and got his weapons back. He was no help in defeating the spawn, but that could not have been helped. Rani ventured in to the forest to find a long thick stick that Rina could use. Rani found one with ease and quickly shaved the bark off of in. The younger twin got back to the lake to find Rina limping her way to the others. She may have been injured and a weak person, but she was very stuborn when it can down to it. Because of her injury, she only made it two feet before falling to the grass. She gave a cry of joy the moment she saw the stick. From the second it was in range of Rina's grasp, it was gone from Rani. With the walking stick helping her, Rina made it to the group without falling like a three year old. "We should get going now." Rina said with a hint of pride in her vioce. "We need to cover more ground if we are in a group. Where is the nearest town?"

((I felt like posting something somewhat funny this evening. Eh, pardon the language in this post xD))

Ebon was about to walk up to Blade and say something about her... Injury, but Eni beat him to her. They started talking and what-not while Ebon still stood there. Eni was a pretty comical person, especially with the way she talked. Now, Ebon didn't mean any offence by chuckling, but he couldn't help it! Foreigners were just so damn funny! Oh well, he would probably be laughed at where she was from as well.

When Eni was done talking to Blade, Ebon thought of it as his opportunity had arisen. Ho ho, but no, that couldn't happen. Just some random person pooped out and started talking with her! What the hell? Was this person that popular or something? Of course it sounded more like a Spawn-hunters bond more than anything. They were saying how proud they were to be fighting alongside each other, and all that other bull s**t. C'mon, in Ebon's mind, the only reason you would want to fight along side someone is if you love them, think they're damn hot and wouldn't mind touching that (similar to Ebon!) or you want to use their strength. There were some exceptions, but few. Maybe you had a dominatrix on your hands and were being forced to? Heh, wouldn't that suck!

Finally, they were done talking (or it seemed like they were). Ebon saw this and took the opportunity for his own. "Watch, another person'll pop up and BAM! I'll have to wait again. If that happens.... I swear... I'll chop the head off of a chicken! Yesss, that's always funny. Wait, what the ********? Am I talking to myself again? Holy s**t, I am! What the ******** goin' on? Why won't I stop?!? For the love of God, stop! Have mercy on my soul you b*****d! ... ... ... ... ... ... It stopped! I am victo- ... ... ... Dude.... Seriously.... Just, like, stop. Okay, you're in front of her now, begin conversation..... N-n-n-n-n-n-ow!!"

As you can tell Ebon gets pretty crazy when he's bored. Luckily he was now in front of Blade to hopefully quench this boredom of his. "Uhh...." Ebon mumbled out, completely forgetting what he was gonna say and drowning himself in his own thoughts. It didn't make anything any better when Nora started doing some fancy earth-element trick. "Pfft, show off. Haha, I love being a hypocrite." Ebon said jokingly, somewhat impressed with Nora's demonstration.

Now back to Blade, who was probably one confused ******** right about now. "Anyways, what shall we do now? Continue standing here uselessly, looking at the dead spawn, which I might add is starting to smell bad." Hilarious. That is how Ebon completely forgot to talk to her about her little "Blood" incident earlier.

Her hands now a mess from digging up the soil from the ground, Trisha placed the child of the forest back into the womb of the earth, giving it one final prayer. Pushing the dirt back over the body, the flakes falling into the mane of the animal, she sealed it to its fate.

As she turned away she brushed the dirt from her hands on her cloak, again tarnished with dirt, and looked back twoards the camp. Everyone is leaving. I have nothing better to do, might as well follow.. With that Trisha turned and picked up her bag and slungi t over her shoulder and trudged on after them, her boots cracking the sounds f the branches underneath.

((I forgot what Eni was doing...))

Eni rubbed her eyes as she yawned quietly to herself. Was it morning already? She didn't think the night would've passed by so fast. Rubbing the back of her neck, Eni observed the group with earnest interest. They were a strange bunch indeed. And yet, the girl still felt she didn't belong. Truth of the matter was that Eni didn't want to belong, she liked to stand out. Attention, even if it was the bad kind of attention, Eni was desperated for it.

Eni walked up to Rina since she was the one Eni felt more comfortable with. She could sense the mockery from Ebon's aura. It wasn't her fault that she couldn't speak the language properly. If ever Ebon step foot in her village, Eni would never let him go easily. Yawning again, Eni stood next to Rina and wanted to help her. But the girl wasn't too sure how, Rina's brother seemed to be in good control already. So sighing a little at her frustration, Eni aimlessly shifted back and forth, rocking her body to the breeze.

The girl nodded her head and stopped shifting around when Blade announced that they were getting a move on. But she couldn't help but rubbed the back of her neck again. It was sore and Eni figured it was probably from her tilting her head so much. She told herself that she had got to stop doing that. Raising a curious eyebrow when Blade started to talk to the ground, Eni looked down at the green grass below her. It...talked to Blade? So the tomboy could speak to spirits after all! And there was asking Eni to tell her more about the spirits.

Pouting and feeling a little cheated, Eni crossed her arms over her chest as she followed the group with Blade being the leader. Eni didn't know exactly why she didn't like Blade; feelings were confusing subjects for a girl who grew up in a cave. There was something....threatening...terrifying about Blade's aura that made Eni agitated. Rubbing her eye and her neck again for the third time, Eni took a look at Rina and smiled at her. Eni liked Rina; she was the soft, gentle kind of girl that Eni could along with. That was probably it. It was Blade's fiery personality that Eni wasn't compatible with.

Looking at the dawning sky, Eni wondered if she would ever accomplished her mission. She missed home and quite frankly didn't give much thoughts to the spawns and what not. She just wanted to be home again. Away from people who criticized and mocked her.

Rina politely rejected the Earth ride. She thought it would be great fun to god like that, but it would damage her pride to so while she was injuried. Sure, she would take a healer in no time flat, but if she couldn't stand own her own, she would never be able to live. In trueth, she had never lived alone, so she wouldn't know how it felt. She always lived with her brother and family. Rina wanted something new, something interesting. The more Rina thought, the more excited she got. It was happening now. Rina looked up from the ground and smiled. She was happier then she ever was, even with her injury.
Rina walked close to Eni. She liked the strange girl. She had a hint of mystery that just drew Rina to her. The young girl could tell that they were going to be good friends.
Rani followed behind everyone, carrying all of Rina's and he it's. He could be up with everyone with all the stuff he was carrying, but he wanted to stay a little behind. He didn't feel he could get along with many of the members in the group. Sighing, Rani continued to walk.

Well, the moving would be slow with Rina, but Blade wasn't in much of a hurry to get anywhere and hopefully no one else in the group was either. Rina wouldn't bleed since her wound had been burned shut by Blade, but it could easily get infected. Hopefully there would be a healer in the next town.

The hours that passed Blade couldn't say were very eventful, however she was thankful for the company. Although she still didn't feel that Eni liked her, Blade would try her best to try and befriend her later on when they were in the town. After all, Blade wanted to learn about the spirits of the elements. Even if she could hear them, she didn't really quite understand them. Learning about the words that were whispered to her from the souls of the animals and nature would be something that she definately wanted to know.

Blade would occasionally stop to rest, simply because that she didn't want Rina to lose too much strength. After seven and a half hours of travel they finally approached the gate of the town, where they were promptly stopped by a gaurd who asked Blade for money to get in. Money to get in? Blade knew that she shouldn't have to pay to get in. At first she was tempted to glare at him, but from the look on the man's face she could sense that he wasn't trying to cheat her. Must be having bad profits this time of year. Blade paid the man and then the gate opened, and she walked in and looked around. It looked like a plain town, with stands everywhere and children playing in the street. Blade set her hands on her hips and looked around before turning around and grinning at the others. "Well we're here! Welcome to Blackbirch!" That was what the sign above the gate had said, at least. Blade clapped her hands and then whirled around. "Those who want to stay in our group meet at the inn for the dinner. I myself consider dinner to be thirty minutes after sunset, so that's when we'll meet. For now I would suggest filling your supplies back up and getting a warm meal! Rina, a healer will most likely be in the center of the town or in the town's inn. Eni, you can follow me if you like, whatever you decide to do is your decision."

Now Blade walked over to a stand, looking down at the goods which were there: Some new thread and a needle. There was a hole at the bottom of her cloak, and her needle was dull and she was almost out of the string. Anyone who traveled around absolutely had to learn how to sew at least enough to make a temporary repair to their clothing, regardless of gender. After buying what she wanted she wandered around until she found a stall that had blankets. She ran her hand over the fabric, tilting her head as she listened to what the blankets were saying. They were all begging her to buy them. Ah, if they knew that wild life that she had they wouldn't be saying that. She straitened her head and lifted up a sturdy blanket that looked as if it would keep her warm during the nights. It would start getting colder soon. Blade needed to travel through the mountains, she sensed that the earth spawn was hiding somewhere past them or in them.

Blade spotted Eni out of the corner of her eye, however her gaze didn't linger on the girl for long as she set the blanket she back down. She couldn't be sure which one to buy. Should she wait? She couldn't be sure. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair, tilting her head. She could just cast a heat charm on her cloak that would make it warm. No, it would be unwise to abuse her power like that. Blade made a hm sound to herself as she scratched the tip of her nose. She saw Eni out of the corner of her eye again, and this time Eni was looking down at something with great interest. Blade glanced over to get a better sight and saw that the strange girl was looking down at a dagger. However very soon Eni's face fell and she walked off with an upset look on her face. Blade sighed to herself once again as she covered her hand with her face.

The dagger looked expensive, but Blade could probably buy it. Blade wanted to get Eni to like her, at least a little. But buying something like that could have either positive or negative effects. Blade felt that she should talk to Eni more before she tried to buy something like that. Eni might think that Blade was cheap and dislike her even more. Or, Eni might be flattered and like her.

Damn it. Why did these things always have to be so confusing?

Well the girl didn't look as if she really had much of a weapon on herself anyway. Blade could just... nevermind. She should just drop it. But instead Blade just turned around and walked over to the stall that Eni had been at last. She asked the price of the dagger and nearly flinched when she did. That thing was expensive. She could afford it, but.... After a few moments Blade finally set the money down and picked up the dagger along with the sheath it came with. Blade took in a small breath before turning around and walking up to Eni.

"For you." Blade didn't want to say anything too fancy or that might offend the girl, so Blade just set it into the foreigner's hand, gave a small nod before turning around and walking off into the crowd. She still needed supplies- although she didn't have enough to buy a blanket anymore there were still somethings that she could afford to buy. And besides, she could gamble and earn money that way, or enter into a small fighting contest. Or sing, play her harp. Either way. She just hoped that buying that gift for Eni hadn't been in vain.

Blade traveled off into the center of town and saw that there were entertainers everywhere. She could play and earn a little money. With that settled Bladed pulled her harp from her back and found a spot for herself to sit down. Now she remembered. She needed harp strings. After. Once she finished tuning her harp she picked out a song and started playing, letting the sound of both the harp and her voice float out over the crowd. This time she played a softer, sweeter song, about finding love and then losing it.
