Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nathan turned her around and placed his hands on her shoulders. Then he leaned down and looked deep into her crimson eyes.
"it doesn't matter how old you physically or even mentally get. you will still always be as young and as beautiful as the day i first met you. i will always love you Kikyo"
His voice was smooth yet serious. holding a certain tone making it hard to not believe him though there was no doubt in his heart that this was how he felt

Jeohin lowered himself to look more closely at her.
"whats wrong Emily? let me help you if i can"

Sera's response was a coldly, calculated about face. Turning on his heel, each step clicked in tune with the klanging of the mask and the swishing of the robe. He passed through the opening of the Tower's gates, and seemingly disappeared in the light.


In Desh's head, Sera's voice tapped pleadingly,


Decide for yourself


After Sera's silhouette was engulfed in the light, the doors stayed open and jittered light throughout the stage, as if begging Desh's entrance.

Bathed within the light, Desh would find himself completely and totally blinded by it for a moment. When his sight came to, he would find himself floating in a void.



Rapidly, a large hand would collect all the darkness of the void and forge it into light. From that light, planets would disperse and a very familiar solar system would form, one with the 3rd planet being mostly blue.

Sera's voice intoned softly while Desh looked on,


"From the very beginning of time, Gods, Goddesses, Angels, and Demons have had a hand in shaping the universe."



From Desh's view, the planet would rapidly span towards him, growing larger and larger, moving as though it would collide with him. Before long, Desh would find himself standing in the blue planet's atmosphere. Continents would rise and fall, water rushing aside as the continents rose and fell. Clouds formed as the water dissappeared, and soon a basic ecosystem appeared.



"They shaped our world, determining where land would be and how much water would form. Guarding over how many clouds there would be, how bright the sun would shine, and how thin or thick the atmosphere would be."





Soon, green moss covered the dewed grounds, turning brown into lush green, vibrant reds, and surging yellows. From the moss, small shrubs grew and blossomed into bright blooms and frighteningly fetching fruit. From the fallen fruit, trees exploded into full length and dotted the landscape with more and more green.




"Planting the seeds of life, they started with simple things. Beutiful things. Things that reflected the order of Heaven and the chaos of Hell, things that were familiar and reflective of the homes of the Gods, Goddesses, Angels, and Demons who crafted the world. Plants, beautiful and simple, but with not mind to praise their creaters, nor any care to how the world was formed, the creators quickly realized their efforts wasted on such simple things and moved on.





From the water, a single plop splashed and rippled throughout the world, as the first fish jumped from the sea. Soon, many fishes began jumping and moving, all in a beat of harmony and ecstasy to the senses. One fish jumped too far and beached itself on the ground. Surrounded in a divine light, it rapidly grew lungs and lost it's gills, replacing it's fins with pods from which it walked on. Follow that fish, many more fishes jumped and were treated identically. From that humble fish, the planet became populated with many species of animal, large and small, wide and tall.




"Growing bored of their plants, they rapidly entertained themselves with something that could appreciate being alive. From one simple thing, new life covered the planet and the divines were happy. They had created something that constantly changed, something that was chaotic, but yet lawful. Something that obeyed their rules, and loved being alive. However, happy as they were, they were not content. For although the animals they created loved being alive, they did not appreciate each other or the miracles around them."



The most curious of things happened. One of the animals, a large primate covered in fur and walking on all fours, shed it's fur and began to walk on it's hind legs. Surely and slowly, it began to smoothen out it's skin and weaken it's muscles, while enlarging it's brain. Soon, it had collect two rocks together and had a nest of some sort, from whence it banged the rocks over. In a spark, a fire had started at the nest and the creature quickly harnessed the fire.



"So, they allowed one creature to ascend to their level of thought. The divine reasoning, was the said creature would be able to appreciate the surroundings more that all the others, and praise the creators of that appropriately. And in that regard, they were right. Man was born of narcism, and seen as a triumph of self-indulgence. Quickly, they had failed to remember that they gave man a very powerful tool: the ability to think as they think, to reason as they reason."




Rapidly, the creature known as man began to dominate over the other creatures. Capable of reasoning beyond them, it out-thank and out maneuvered all competitors to become the sole champion of the world. From there, man built villages, synagogues, and gathering center upon which they could converse with themselves of such things that the divine did before them. Man came to the conclusion, that this world had to have been created by things greater than themselves. However, man could not agree as to which approach was the best way to worship such creatures and rapidly came to an argument. Thus, man found the one thing that they hadn't conquered fully: each other.




The first conflicts were over religion, pure and simple. Over who's belief was more righteous than the others. And the divines could not be more estatic. Divine beings were needed in groves, as many men prayed to them for power, wealth, and success. New deities were born as old ones died, as man killed off man, killing off old beliefs on occasion and birthing new ones as well. Thus, the divines realized that one thing was more important than anything else in this world they had created: Faith.



As wars waged, new technologies were born. Things to make buildings build faster, house more people, and withstand bombings quicker. Desh would soon witness man going throughout the ages, constantly fighting, constantly innovating, constantly building, constantly conquering and killing. Each generation of man perpetuated the same cycle as the last, with only bigger and better toys than the last one had. Despite the constant wars, man strived and survived by always adapting. By holding faith and adapting.



Faith is what drove the deities to where they are now. War is the greatest way to garnish faith, as death causes the most praying. As it stands now, most wars-be them big or small, physical or mental, are caused by some divine power vieing for more faith in one direction or the other. Having forgotten the beauty of their creation, they use it instead to bloat their own powers. Claiming omnipresence, when in reality, only having tunnel vision of their own futures; man is ignored by dieities alike, and treated with indifferance. Most wars that are started by man, are because they want to see if anyone or anything divine would intercede, like the old days.



That has not happened in a while. It will not happen again, as all divine powers care about is themselves. Man is left to fend for themselves, in a universe that caters to those who's scope of power is beyond this world. Unfortunately, man does not have that power. Instead, man is giving claims to that power in the great beyond, only to find out that life there is nothing more than a boring monotone, were everything is done for you or you have to do everything.


Thus are the claims of Heaven and Hell's salvation. Die, and sit down and do nothing until the end of eternity. Die, and be tortured for some minuscule sin until the end of time.




In Cruxis, we have none of that Salvation. Our Salvation is an empowerment of man, a rightful seeing fit that man will be allowed to propser on their own terms. With Cruxis, we shall elevate man to the playing field of the divine and give them control over their own faith.



Cruxis' salvation, is to disperse the Gods, Goddesses, Angels, and Demons and have man sit rightfully so as the heir to their own destiny.



That is the truth.


And now, what do you wish to do?



On the last few lines, the vision faded and Desh found himself in the ante-chamber of the tower, with grand marble statues surrounding him on all sides. Standing in front of him, is Sera and 4 doors. Upon posing his question, Sera turned around and simply awaited for an answer. I already know what it is.

((Try to add as much detail as you can in your next post.))

"Just remember, it will be a long time until you are able to tap into that power, but it will give you something to work for. Now, let us continue."

Kestral jumped at Vince with his weapons outstretched and slashed the air with his demonic sword, a wave of red energy bolted out towards Vincent.
