Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ki stroked her face as he embraced her. "Runa... it's going to turn out okay." It had to. "Come, let's look for parth." He suggested, trying to take her mind off things.

I sat on the raft and watched the stars. "I wish this would not become undone by my actions but I fear it will not be able to be stopped." I brough downa meteor shower but made them burn up in flashes of briliant light that filled the sky. I then shot up fire balls and made them explode as fire works would. Too bad this would be one of the last times I was able to do this. I could feel power surging in me like a dragonfly nymph trying to rid its shell and gain wings. The sleep stasis I had been in only doubled the pace of the transformation. How could I help it.

Sakura walked around the foreign land and examined her surroundings. It was a strange, new place to her. An old woman told her of a lake nearby. A lake that could cleanse your soul. Well, Sakura didn't her soul cleansed..But she needed to get herself cleaned. Day by day, she fought demons and she got covered in their filthy blood. She wiped the blood off her..But it wasn't enough.She was tired of seeing trees. She was ready to see the lake . Then she wondered if the old lady had lied. She bit her tounge trying not to thing about that. Instead, she kept on walking. Maybe this walk wouldn't be such a bad idea. As a matter of fact, even though the place was new to her. It was somewhat..relaxing. She took a deep inhale and closed her eyes. The air was much fresher as well. The she quickened her pace to see if the lake was really there.

Ringaru looked at her then nodded as if he actually understood half of what she was talking about. He thought for a moment and then pushed himself to his feet. He looked around.

"I...do not...remember...I am sorry...but I must...leave. I have to...go...to the...Lord's...Dragons...remember..."

Takara watched as Ringaru got up and claiming that he had to go to the Dragon shrine, shaking her head she didnt know what to do. Than she turned when she heard Xi speaking to her, looking down at what he was holding within his hand was part of the shard they were looking for, "Where did you find this, Xi?" she asked looking up at his face.

"I don't have that much of a choice Ki....I have a matter of one or two days left....i can feel the plant at its peak, it is ready...and I believe now that right before it takes me over or after...I will be going to see Chan", I said rather emotionless, just because I didn't know how to feel about seeing him again since out last meeting. I looked down half because I was looking for shards, the other half just because how sad I was. "I'll help look for the shards as long as I can to help Takara and the others out", I said and looked at him for a moment before continuing to look for shards.

Sachiko walked until she came upon a lake. "Wow, I end up in the weirdest places...maybe I should buy a map or something." She looked up into the sky and saw the "fireworks" display. "Seems like someone has too much free time on their hands..." She tried to spot the source of the fireworks...

"Interesting." Xi' said this a little quieter than his normal voice. "I suppose we shall find out soon enough," he said in his normal tone. Turning to look at her, he wondered some of these other people were, but didn't bother to ask at the moment. "So any ideas as to what we should do now?"
