Welcome to Gaia! ::

Terrion turned to Eve and retold the vision she had.

Darkness. Everywhere. Screams echoed and she heard someone shout.

"No! Zoe! Don't do it!" It sounded like Rogue and Ben's voices merged together. She opened her mouth to scream with them, but nothing came out. Something tugged on her arm. Laughter echoed around her. Aun's crackling laugh. She yanked away, but found herself held fast. She reached for her swords, but they weren't there. She fumbled for her slingshot, but it was gone as well. Rage surged within her and she pulled harder. Then the voices came. No, don't fight back, he'll hurt you. No! Don't listen! Fight! Kill him! Someone help me! Please, someone please rescue me! The third voice caught her attention. Terrion yanked harder, trying to get the female voice that was calling for help, but as soon as she broke free and ran to the source, the only thing she found was a chair. Someone was sitting in it. It was Aun.

"Welcome back home, little Terrion, my child!" Then all went black.

When she finished, she breathed in deeply and let out a shuddering breath. "I don't know... It's...troubling."

((Wow, this rp died... T.T))

Terrion shook her head. "I don't know, Eve." She felt Elia shift behind her. She turned to him. "What's wrong?" Elia shifted uncomfortably again, a look of worry on his face. Elia was rarely worried, except when it came to Terr and Cay.

"Where's Cay and Dante?!?"

Dante kept his hand on Cay's as he led them through the labyrinth. Their way was lighted only by the black fire on his fist as they walked. He couldn't feel his sister and was hyperventilating. The only comfort he had was that Cay was with him.

===

Alexa looked up, drained of power and too weak to move. She could feel a disturbance in the air...Dante...? She tried to go forwards, to the door, but she couldn't move. She felt paralyzed. A reddish mist swirled into the room through the door. It took shape of a man, and his face was so familiar...
"Having fun, my dear little grandchild?" Grandchild?!

((I had an idea for a bad guy for this season. Aun's son/daughter, one that was born on the same day and time he died. Because of this, he/she inherits most of his powers, including how to control the other nightshades. Of course he/she would have other powers too because he/she would be a nightshade, like he/she can be a master in illusions, which is why all our characters can see and hear Aun again? But his/her illusions kinda have a double edge and maybe that's why Terrion can see the future or something? That somehow his/her illusions are linked to Terrion's visions? I don't know, just spouting random ideas. I love this roleplay and don't want it to die...))

Eve looked at Cecilio. "We must go. We must stop this before it gets any worse!"
Cecilio nodded. "Terrion, we're going to split up for now. We can cover more ground this way."
"How did you know that's what I was going to say?"
"Te conozco bien."
Eve rolled her eyes. "Yes, let's go."
Both Eve and Cecilio ran across a large empty plain. Eve closed her eyes. "I see something ahead. Like a fortess, but different." She opened her eyes. "Let's go see what it is."
Cecilio nodded and they ran faster. Five minutes later they found a large bush.
"So were is that fortress you were talking about?"
Eve closed her eyes again. "Under this bush."
Cecilio pulled at the bush, but it wouldn't move. He tried again in a different part, but the bush stayed put.
"Try to your left and about 5 hands lower." Eve said.
Cecilio did what she said and a small piece of bush moved away to reveal a large iron dome.
"What is it?"
"I have no idea, but I don't like it. There is something very wrong about it."
Cecilio nodded.

((Yes, actually I did... Sorry... I've forgotten a lot of this RP, so I'm kinda posting whatever... By the way, I love your sig. It makes me laugh every time I see it.))

Cecilio knocked on the outside of the dome. "Eve, there's something in here."
"What? Can you tell?"
"I hear voices, but I can't make them out."
Eve closed her eyes. "Neither can I and I can't see a way in."
Cecilio looked down. "Eve, look at this!"
Eve frowned. "Spiders? That's odd. What are so many spiders doing here?"
"I don't know, but they seem to be protecting this thing."
The spiders started to climb up them. "I think now would be a good time to leave."
Cecilio nodded.

(You're not the only ones. Sorry! gonk
That might work, Sok.)

Terrion blinked. She kneeled onto the strangely dark grass. Something wet hit her nose and she sneezed. Why does it always have to be winter? she thought/said bitterly. She felt Elia's hand on her shoulder as she stared at the piece of marble. Something hit her mental barrier, hard. She was forced to sit. She shook her head like a dog might to rid himself of water. Her perception of Zoe disappeared. "Crap." We have to find them all! Desperarely, she searched the old rubble for clues. She traced the lines. They made shapes. Spiders. Snakes. A rose. Then something hit her barrier again. She couldn't concentrate. The attack continued relentlessly. She groped about for Elia and pushed him towards the marble slab. She stood, shakily, and leaned against another marble slab. She let out a squeak as the thing moved beneath her weight, causing her to fall into a dark tunnel. Elia leaped to his feet and found Terrion no longer behind him.

***

Terrion couldn't see. She muttered something under her breath and found a torch near the now immovable slab of marble. She reached into her pocket and found an old match. She lit the torch and took stock of her surroundings. Well, found a tunnel, I guess. Now onto finding my family. She held the torch high and squinted her eyes in the strangely dim light. A chill wind filled the tunnel with whispers. The currents of wind, they each carried their own voices, whispering death and destruction to Terr. She bit her lip and trudged through the damp and musty hallway.

((Got to go))

"Ben? Owen?" Terrion sputtered, surprised. Wow, I'm surprised I didn't feel them down here. She picked up the torch she had dropped. "I was looking at that piece of marble with the inscriptions on it when something attacked my mental barrier. It distracted me long enough to screw my concentration funny, so I let Elia look it over. I leaned against a rock and it moved and I found myself down here. Lucky I had an old match in my pocket." She shivered. "Where's Zoe...?" Even though she knew she was already gone, she desperately wanted to know what happened to her.

Terrion nodded. These two always found some way to do something unexpected. "Cross my heart and hope to die." She held up her right hand. She patted Owen on his his shoulder. I promise. The thing that had assulted her before took another knock at her barrier and she stepped backwards, dropping the torch and grasping her head in both hands. When Ben and Owen exchanged worried glances, she growled something through her clenched teeth.

"There is goes..." she drew in a shuddering breath "Again!" Her concentration broke and laughter filled her head. Almost like Aun's, but twisted slightly. It was someone different. She motioned for someone to help her walk. She focused entirely on trying to keep the evil voice from spilling out of her own head.

((Writer's block sucks. I should know! Find something you like and write about that.
And what I'm thinking is that Terr could know about Aun's newer son/daughter but is rendered helpless because maybe the son/daughter has some sort of hold over her.))
