Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Hey now, keep it down. And you," Lion said as he plucked Oruro by the scruff of her neck and tossed her into a nearby chair, "Don't bother sleeping people or you might end up dust."

The dragoon looked at Saria,"I was a vassel of your mother's, Queen Relena and this is Lonewolf, first captain of Lonewolf's Dragoons. I worked for your mother and he was an ally so naturally Oruro would know us...even when I would think she would have forgotten by now."

Violet tilted her head to the side and watched the little flying being.
"Master Lonewolf won't wake up... Please wake up..."

Lion looked at Oruro strangely then nodded, "We'll talk later then." He looked at Saria, "That will be all I'll be willing to tell you...come back later on when its a good time."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shadow stopped and hesitated breifly, "Well its not like your destinated to do this but more like...randomly picked out of the crowd because of your latent powers." She began to walk again, mentally noting the room numbers, "Besides it probably won't get worse...so it wouldn't matter if you do quit the athletic team."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where am I...?" Kenji said out loud as he walked through this errie forest. Everything was a pale gray...the sky, the earth,...everything.

"Beware..." echoed a whispering voice.

Kenji turned around, "Who's there!?"

"Beware..."

A sharp pain hit Kenji, making him sit up straight on the hospital bed he was on. No one was in the room..and it was night-time he deduced from the moonlight shining through his window, although not the exact time. Probably his parents were out getting dinner in the hospital cafeteria..he wasn't so sure.

"What was that?" Kenji asked out loud to no one in particular, "That couldn't just be a dream...it was...a warning to something...but what?"

Saria snatched up Oruro from Lion face and glared at her. "Oruro?!"

The purple being smile innocently before vanishing behind a lock of hair. "Nothing!!"

Saria decided to let it go and looked back at Lion. "Alright, what is with the children!? Oh and yes, what were you doing at the ruins. Also it seems that you are relatively acquaint with my world...why haven't I've heard of you before today." She looked at Oruro. "I try to keep up to date with upper level beings in the other world?"

Saria looked at the other man in the room. She had to admit, she was hear because she noticed growth of demonic energy. She looked back at him. "True, true. I have noticed...it is the reason I am here."

She looked back to the other man in the room. "I can help him heal if you want? Though is all I can do. He will have to decide on his own if he wishes to wake." She saw the fight and darkness consuming the unconscious form.

"Yes..you see, lower demons, like what you encountered in the park, have to eat souls constantly to maintain their form because since they don't belong here, something keeps on 'burning' them away if you will. Higher up demons are different though. They don't require as much since their power keeps them intact but they like the bloodshed...so either way, it's all the same. The one part we have to find out is where is that portal and close it for good...although there may be hundreds of them throughout this land." Shadow said gravely as she stopped at room 275.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lion took at look at Lonewolf, "I think he'll be alright. He's a strong one so there would be no need for it..."

He felt Shadow tap him in his conciousness and opened the door again, "Took you people long enough...is everybody alright?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kenji let his legs hand off the side of the bed, still thinking about what happened.

"I'll have to admit...that was an odd dream indeed."

His head shot up, eyes slightly wide. It was the Beast rune. "What the hell?! Where are you!" he said loudly.

"Obviously I am not in the room your in so where else can I reside?" said the rune sacrastically.

"Damn thing give me a break." Kenji thought as he went through possible places until it really hit him. "...Don't tell me your in my head."

"That is correct rune bearer."

Kenji groaned as he fell backwards, hitting the bed. "Great...just great..."

"You mister have no room to be sarcastic!" Kinera pointed a fingure accusingly at Leon. "You could have been killed and then where would that leave the rest of us? Without someone to guide us and sad over your death. Please, for everyone's sake, be more careful with your own life." Kinera dropped her hand to her side and moved over to his bed. "You're okay though.... right?"

Violet scurried into Lonewolf's pocket while the others left the room. She lay completely still, listening to Lonewolf's heartbeat.
Well, I know you're still in there Master... but why aren't you waking up?

She could hear the nurse walking about the room, talking to Lion about something. She went through the recording in her memory of the people who had entered concerned about Lion, they must be his new friends. According to the little flying being, the first one to enter was Relena's daughter. But who exactly were the others?

Master, there are so many strangers that seem to be worried about you.
