Welcome to Gaia! ::

The first scene of her illusion was familiar: it was a big hall with the columns and a marble floor covered with hot lava; she had no idea what she's doing there, but somehow Eisheth knew she had to cross the hall and reach the exit on the other side. With every step she made her feet hurt; the skin started to melt exposing the bare bones, but the horseman was persistent. She finished her home run, and jumped through the door; the next room appeared to be some kind of chute, but surprisingly she ended up landing right on the horse. It wasn't her mount, no, it was a regular horse, probably an Arabian stallion, but other than that it was a familiar sensations. Horseback riding she knew how to do.

She was riding the horse straight, crossing the misty field; suddenly, the alchemist noticed the fog began to get thicker and thicker, until it finally cleared, and she found herself at the end of the route. She opened her eyes, and looked at the Caterpillar: looks like this time she MADE IT.

Arynek was now in the maze, knowing what might be coming, she tried hard to think of some happy moments.

Mushrooms? She came close to have a look. Um?

"Kiss Kiss kiss" eek
The shadow ghoul was shocked and started running from the ask-to-kiss mushrooms. Nope.

She was running on the ground, at least it should be like that. However, at a moment, she didn't feel the gravity at all. It was so hard to go on.

Luckily, the happy screens played in front of her encouraged her to continue. Go ahead, Arynek, your uchitels were sending you invisible support!

GRAB GRAB GRAB

Someone was pulling her back or stopping her to keep on, but they were invisible, Arynek could just feel them. The shadow ghoul was a bit disgusted by the sickening grabs.

Nope, it was almost there......she had to go on!

Ignoring the pulling force, she kept moving and moving. Suddenly, the fog dissipated and she saw the caterpillar again.

.... Okay. The pumpkin patch is new. He couldn't help but feel as if they were mushrooms... everything was about dangerous, kissing mushrooms.

Except these didn't kiss him. They grew. Then spontaneously exploded into miniature versions of himself screaming out "papa!" as they swarmed him.

Yep. These were Jack damned mushrooms. Time to run away again.
-1=3 Bravery



18. You're on a horse. No change

7. You find yourself suddenly falling into a deep pit. Jagged spikes could be seen ahead, gleaming with blood of former victims. Just as you are about to be skewered, you find yourself lying on flat ground. -1=2 Bravery

3. You feel hands grabbing onto your arms, legs, and clothing. But when you look, there isn't anything there. You could still swear that something is trying to drag you back... -1=1 Bravery

10. You hear a soft song; one that soothes your fears as you hear it. Perhaps it is a song that has meaning to you that you've heard before? +1 =2 Bravery

Eat mushroom

[[Exit]]

Looking ahead she could see another maze, well she wasn't so great at those. Maybe she'd be able to navigate it better since she was so much taller!

"Smells like burning rubber..."

Her nose twitched as she looked down. Seriously Lava?!

((3/4 Bravery))

Not really paying attention to much since the horse seemed to be doing all the walking Lumi didn't even notice the perfume wafting around her until it was too late. Was something or someone talking to her? It was starting to freak her out pushing the horse a little faster she realized all too quickly that she was smelling that burning rubber smell again.

"OH FOR JACKS SAKE!"

She screamed as she rushed forward even faster. Stopping only for a moment, she could smell home...that's where she wanted to go. As the fog parted she whined, she didn't make it through the maze but she did feel like home was looking pretty darn good.

Akhem charged ahead, intent on clearing this test again. He immediately found himself in outer space. What? How the heck did he get here? Wait but he wouldn't be able to living if it was outer space... he pushed on.

As he goes Akhem hears a soothing melody from somewhere in the fog. It swells and builds, keeping him going. He couldn't place the tune, no matter how hard he thought about it. It seemed like something from a dream...

Not paying attention from the music Akhem felt himself falling. He looked down and he saw spikes rushing to meet him. Just GREAT. This was going to do a number on his already broken corpse. Akhem closed his eyes, ready for the pain. And yet he didn't feel it. He opened his eyes slowly, ready for the worst. But there was nothing. In fact the fog had dissipated. He was in front of the caterpillar, who handed him the typical box with the mushroom. He opened the lid and popped it in hi mouth. The world turned pleasantly black.

[[exit]]

The caterpillar wanted to test her bravery....?
"Go ahead but you'll see just how brave I am."

Shar with feeling a bit full of it but there was very little that she'd ever back down from. She grinned from ear to pointy ear knowing her bravery was high and headed for the maze.

((Brave +5))

The gargoyle felt something under her so she glanced down, only for have her eyes bulge out of her head. How was she on a horse!? For the love of Jack this place was curious. Then her world shifted and the horse was gone but she stood in the gym with all the people she had met that day. She smiled looking at their faces. Mayaa, Than, the landshark. She giggled.

Then it all took a turn for the worse. She was cover in a rainbow light and pink glitter while she heard the creepiest song she had ever heard in her live! She let out a small shriek and covered her ears.

The fog lifted then and she look up to see the caterpillar's face in front of her.
"You have any odd idea of what is fun sir."

She took the mushroom and ate it in one go, damn she loved food but she regretted it again just like yesterday, she fell asleep.

((Brave +6 +1 -1 -1= +5))
