Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was yet another average day, consisting of nothing spectacular except for the fact that everyday took place in a rather out of the ordinary library. A man lay on top a book shelf of the grand library on the first floor, keeping a rather mediocre watch on the place, setting aside his usual business of putting books back and entertaining the children that roamed about. None of them were particularly active at this time, the lot seemed to be taking naps and the rest were off with their families. Not to mention, he wasn't put in charge of taking care of some troublesome child that belonged to a troublesome man named Altar who visited more often than he really should.

He was a rather young looking man, who seemed to be about his mid-twenties with long dark hair that tickled the dark skin on his neck. His orange eyes glowed just as the tips of his fingers did as he drew pictures in the air before him with seemingly nothing, but wherever his finger had been, the place seemed to illuminate, as if he were setting air particles alight.

Just as he was about to finish his intricate drawing of a peony, he heard a clicking sound of the door opening and he sat up, passing through the drawing that evaporated into clouds and then nothingness. He looked towards the doors and saw a woman peeked in curiously. He watched for a moment as she entered in before hopping off the bookshelf, being careful not to let it shake. He landed on the ground with a sound and made his way over to the front.

"May I help you?"

Rayne looked rather blankly at the young woman who came outright with her question. Well, she certainly wasn't one to beat around the bush. Whatever, not like it would harm anyone anyways. No big deal.

He snorted and smirked in mild amusement as his golden eyes flickered for a second, quickly looking over her before gesturing at the endless rows of bookshelves behind him. "Well, if you really want to know, which I'm surprised if you can't tell already, this is probably going to be the most unique library you'll ever enter in your life." He said before dropping his hand and crossing his arms over his chest "As you can see, this library is not only large and seemingly endless it holds practically an ecosystem of its own. The first floor is rather normal, the second floor is where things get interesting. keep travelling upwards and deeper in, you'll find rivers, trees and some animals roaming about, but of course, not the book-eating variety. Cooking books are on the third floor, past the small forest of a hallway in the middle, follow the red lanterns on the trees, you'll find them all there. After having standing here for several centuries, the number of trees have multiplied, so make sure not to get lost. Oh, and watch out for the children, they're rather mischievous." He replied in complete honesty.

"The owner of the library, a mysterious and clearly strange young-looking man is out at the moment, but if you need help, I can just show you the way. That is, if you have poor direction sense. But if not, the staircase is that way, don't get lost."

Rayne pursed his lips at her before shrugging "Whatever you wish, but try not to get lost. The library sometimes likes to play tricks on newcomers, so be careful. Give a holler if you need help, I can't have the good librarian that owns this library returning with a lost innocent running amok." he said before disappearing in an instant, re-appearing back on the bookshelf he was on "Or I'd get in serious trouble." He grunted to himself as he settled down once more, beginning to draw more intricate pictures in the air.

The days were rather tedious, but maybe it was better that way. He already had plenty excitement with Altar who pulled him into a life-threatening situation, which then followed with an unexpected appearance of a character they never wished to see again. Of course, said person came out as a child and with little to no memories and only animal instincts.

He whistled as he began to draw a bird flying through the air, not noticing the fact that something in the library changed as a book in a shelf shook and shivered.
