Welcome to Gaia! ::

Isle de Gambino

I sit here on this crate in a crater that was once my home. It's been 55 days since that night. My greatest achievement and my biggest mistake.

This photograph is all that I have left. My mansion... in ruin. My riches... gone. My son, my dearest son ... missing. And to top it all off, it's Christmas day.

But what is this I see?! A glimmer of hope. Gino could still be alive! He must be. He's crafty like his old man.

I embark on a quest inspired with hope! Afterall, it IS Christmas day! It is a time for miracles. Bah, I make MY OWN miracles.

Bass'ken Lake


Ah, tis old man Logan fishing away. Bass'ken lake is iced over yet he is still determined to catch something. Here is a man so dedicated in his craft that he shuns everything else. An admirable way of life, though a lonely one. Is this what lies in store for me? Am I also fated to be alone?


Ah, at least I can take solace in knowing that I'm not the only one alone on Christmas day. Perhaps I can join Logan here and help him catch a fish or two. ^^


Nevermind.

Durem


In times of need, you can always count on friends. Edmund, is one of those men. Honorable and kind, yet strict and controlled.


He is one of the only men in this world who I would call "friend." He's on THE LEVEL.


But sometimes friends have obligations. -_-;; *ring ring* "What's up, V? Oh, ok I'll be right over."

And it's times like these that remind you that friends are only temporary. Family is forever. You understand right, man?"


"Yeah, I understand."

Durem Reclamation Facility


This facility represents my soul. A barren wasteland scorched by ice. A craggy, dangerous place where all the waste in GAIA sleeps. No one wants what is kept here.


I am numb. I won't feel a thing. Though at this moment, when nothing is left for me, I can actually feel something. Something holding me back. It's too late for me though. I have nothing. I am GAIA's most powerless man.



The only thing that could save me now is gone. Gino, my son. I never got the chance to tell you...


"Don't do it!!" The voice called out. At the moment of my near demise, a miracle happened. Gino's voice! I am saved!


It really WAS him. Gino, my son. I embraced my son like I never had the time to do before. Though, there was something in his eyes... the same soul, but something different. I then knew what it was when he uttered one question...


"Who are you?"

THE END?!?!
