Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I asked, and they never did say why." I brush her hair from my face. "And also, Light is not to be confused with Holy. Light, well, is this." I summon a ball of perfect white light. "And Holy, is this." I summon Holy, which had a glow of blueish white, and a diffusing to it. I feel drained, and a warning is cast in my head, that if I did it again, I may be severely punished for it. "So yes, I know the difference, slight, but a difference." I just lay there, head in her lap. If the world wanted to go on without us, it could. I felt good here.

I look up at her. "Oh yes, them." I snap my fingers, and five Nothings come from a black and white portal. They look at us. I make a "And you would say what now?" gesture to them, and they back off. I point to the army of tents. They nod. Hoisting myself up, and not before snugging myself more in her lap, I find my way to them. I sigh. "All of you mongrels split, those of you here for a reason, one side, that includes, family, loved ones, friends, and those things. The others, here for the thrill, here to do what they want, and the others here because the really don't cre." They do, the Nothings stay in the middle. They all look at them. "Those of you who feel that they have a destiny here aswell, to the left." They do, not many, but some do. I sigh. "Nothings, sort 'em out, I don't think I worded it quite right." They go about doing it. I turn to Eliza. I am putting you in charge of several men, are you up to it?"

I look at the final match up. Several hundreds of men on both sides. I sigh. "I see." I turn to her, and then stroke her long hair. "Why so long?" I shake my head slightly smiling. I then turn back to the armies. The Nothings in front of mine, I turn to Eliza's. "You are under her control. And don't worry, I believe she shall be a great Leader, huh Lady O'Connel?" I smile wide. "And for those of you wondering who these men are, they are Nothings, like me. You will learn more about them as we focus on our next enemy. Oh, and more of them shall come to join us soon enough." I then abruptly turn to Eliza. I kneel before her. "I am now an ally. You are still on Probation, but an ally."

I take it. "Not only an ally, but a future friend, well, closer friend..." I look at her. The men cheer, then start chanting 'kiss, kiss, kiss' I blink several times, then turn to them. "Shut up, will ya?" I turn back to Eliza. "I do mean for you to be willing to take this. Oh! And now is better a time as any. Let us go, seeing as we are now out of the Northern Reaches, let us go to Veile Rennen, and have our date, shall we? They can take care of themselves."

Let us. I only think it for a minute. "Let us then, for if it does not happen soon, I am afraid they will grow, curious." I open a Portal of Nothingness. "It won't hurt, I swear, just like any old portal." I step in, and then, looking at the Grand City of Veile Rennen, Many Races, I wait for her. I ponder my earlier thought of 'Let us'. If I was meaning something bad by it, maybe it would not be as good to do this, but it was nothing. Just a stray though.

I smile. "Yes, yes it is." I then look back at her. But this is not really where we are going. No, the place we are going is in the Ancient's Forrest." I start walking. "It will take some time, but we will be there soon enough, and then, you will understand why we are going there."

I smile. "I doubt they would mind." I keep walking on the forest path. The moon starting to rise. Making the forest seem dully alive. I keep walking in silence. "The place we are going, it is the place of the first Magic doers, and the Shrine of Light. I hope you know, that while we are there, we will be in a giddy mood, and as long as we stay there, our hearts will be free. It is a place for great Pondering, and a place for us to be more in tune to our mind, body, and spirit. If you would rather not, you should say so now."
