Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay here we go - easy to read questions and answers - there are two sections of questions - ones that were asked that pertain to all the Fa'e, and ones that were more personal to the Fa'e asking them. I wasnt sure if you wanted them put here or in a seperate post - they can always be moved later anyways =)

Generalised Questions

Q:"Who are you?"Anen(Prolixity)

A:"I am just like you. I am a fa'e. The first one. My Guardian is Anya. But I am also different from you all because of what I once was. But since this is not what I am now, it is not part of this question. And the path I walk on is different, too."

Q:"Ancient. We would be... what we were before? Exactly as what we were before? Or it... change?"Riven (Sosiqui)

A:"An Ancient is the rebirth of your former self. If it was part of your former self reason for existance to be a prisoner and a guard, then you will return to your post. But if you were imprisoned and forced into it against your wish, you will not be a prisoner again. Stand your ground and know your power, and you will find your freedom. A long time has past. It is possible that the ones who did it ... have died."

Q:"It is my understanding that we Fa'e have a very limited time on this world, much less then most do. My father also said that we would eventually have a chance to accend to what we once where. My question is how are we to do this, giving us more time with those we love."Silver (David Wolfenbrother)

A:"There are two paths a fa'e can take in their life. Right now, as you grow up into a youth all of you wil make that choice, in one way or another. One path leads to the higher things, to rebirth and power. Immortality even. But not as you are now, but as you will become, if you ever become an Ancient. The Silver you are now wil be dead. The second path is the path of Humanity. You will walk down that path if you choose to have a mortal life - a life where love, children, a family and simply living is more important then attaining the Power of Old. You will become a mortal men, a human for all intents and purposes and you will live your life among them, without magic, but as a part of this world. Your life span will be as long as your Guardian is there for you. Eventually you will die, but it will not be soon. So ... if you truly want more time with the one's you love, you will have to give up your magic soul."

Q:"I will claim those questions then, Lady Airi," he sang softly. "The path of the Ancients will take the family and love, but the human path will take our power and looking-ness?"Riven (Sosiqui)

A:"That is not a question. You are just confirming what he asked. The path of Rebirth means giving up mortal aspect of life, like having children, and instead focusing on becoming what you once were. The Path of Humanity means giving up magic and power as a fa'e. Which also involved your appearance ... because you would become human. But none of them means giving up love. One can always love ..."

Q:"If we were to choose the path of immortals would we become who we once were in the past of would it be a combination of both?"Aylana (Krista DarkAngel)

A::"That question has already been answered. Riven the Spiritchild asked it. You will become what you once were. You will have all of your powers. But times have changed since last you walked the spheres. It will be up to you what you do with your full potentila. Hopefully, what you have learned from being a Fa'e will help you in that choice. Everyone has both potential for good and evil. It's a choice, not a fate."

Q:"What path do you follow, my Lady?"Morion (Gunsmoke Girl)

A:"My path is hard. I ... gave up my chance to be reborn, or to love or to simply live ... so that there are more fa'e. I exist to create you all. I chose this path because ... because I am waiting for someone. To create fa'e is a way for him to come back."

Q:"Why can't we maintain who we are but still have love and family, couldn't there be like a middle path we can choose?"Aylana (Krista DarkAngel)

A:"You cannot maintain who you are while having a family, because to have a Fa'e child you will give up half of your magic. The other half will come from your partner. When you bear your first child, your baby, to be Fa'e, will have to take half of your magic. When you bear your second child, the second half of your magic soul will pass onto him. Then, you will become human. Maybe it is possible to have one child and still try to find your lost powers with half of your magic. Since it has never happened before, that future has not yet been decided."

Q:"I have to know. If a Fa'e tries to achieve immortality... what happens if they fail? Will they just go back to where they were when they made the choice, or will they grow old and die without ever being able to have a family?"Yin (Youkochylde)

A:"It is not a one time choice, Yin. I said you will decide when you are a youth becasue that is the time when you decide whether you will want to have a child on your own or not. But it is possible to fail of your quest for Rebirth. Immortality and divine powers do not come easily. One has to work hard to find the key to unlock one's inner potential"

Q:"Our children... if we had them... would they be someone we'd have from our histories or stories, or would they be a new fa'e that we'd never have known before, or would they be a mix of the parents...? I'm basically asking, what would they be, other than fa'e?"Kia (Neith-Kia

A:"Because the child will get half of each parents magic, he will have some of their appearance as well. That part of the unusual appearance will dissapear form the parents. If you had your first child, you would chose to give up something to give to your baby. Like your markings on the hands. Or wings. Or tail. A present form you. The one half of your magic soul. But you will still need to find a Guardian for your child to take care of your baby. You do not have to give your baby up to them - he is your child. But you WILL need a Guardian. And that Guardian's dream will determine what that fa'e child will become."

Q:"M'lady... I was wondering... What if one of the fa'e in a couple sacrifices everything magical about themselves into one child, so that the other remains fa'e? And has a chance at being an ancient still?"Rei (Yuumei Tenshi)

A:"It's possible, I guess. But I do not know how one would do that. It has never happened before. I can ... look ... and tell you later if that is possible ..."(She put a finger to her face, thinking. She never thought about this possibility. But then - the balance would be maintained ... but what of the child - he would have all the magic of one parent ... would he be a clone? And ... that child would certainly be able to be ... concieved the normal way. Some heavy magic would be involved ... she would have to read the future ... and think.)

Q:"It is my understanding that the fa'e must chose between becoming Ancients or becoming mortals.
However, does becoming an Ancient isolate us from who we are now? Will we have to sacrifice our current loves or friends to do so?"PurrPurr (Kamiki)

A:"The way to becoming an Ancient is a long and difficult one. It is a selfish road to take. You might sacrifice your love and friends on the way to achieve the power you lost. But ... it is not a requirement. If the ties that bind you together are strong enough they will endure."

Q:"I have a question for you. I have heard we must discover our true potential in order to become Ancients. My question, then, is whether our true potential is finding who we used to be - in which case becoming an Ancient would be reverting solely to our past selves - or is our true potential to go beyond the limitations of our past and current selves - in which case our Ancient forms would be a mix of past and present states of mind?"Astaroth (Kalindara)

A:"Your past selves were powerful ... yet ... they failed to survive what life threw at them. Living as the Fa'e gives you a chance to understand your nature and this world without the burden of great powers and great expectations. The amalgamation of your dormant powers and your newfound wisdom will allow for rebirth of your previous self. It is important for you to find out what you were but it is also important to learn form the mistakes tha tyou made in the past. Otherwise your fate will repeat itself. This is your second chance, Astaroth."

Q:"My lady... I also come forward with a question. I have heard that you gave up much to bring us to this world... however... I have wondered - given the speed at which we have all been aging, and the fact that we all came back at this point in time - once powerful beings - is there an underlying reason or goal that we were brought here for beyond our own desires and accomplishments? Why... us here and now? Not that I am complaining in the least for this second chance, mind you."Mordath (Sabin Duvert)

A:"This is not a question for me. You know the answer for this one. Anya has told it to you all long ago. Your Guardians dreamed of you. That is why you are here. They wanted you to be here."
"And why now? This question I can answer. Because now is the right time. Because I am here NOW. Fate works in mysterious ways, but now was the age when I was able to come back into reality and ... and make all of you come as well."
Specialised Questions

Q:"And my question is this. If I love... err... say... Riven or Silver... not saying I do... but yeah... if I love one of them, and they love me back... I know we're both guys, and we're not supposed to "work" that way... but... if we wanted a child.... would it be... possible?"Sire (Arrikanez)

A: "Um, Sire ... boys don't have a womb. One needs a womb to have a baby, silly. But you can adopt one. Or .. or become a girl. Though I don't think Riven or Silver ... "

Q:"I have a question to ask. You said that if we choose to live as mortals, we will live as long as our Guardians sustain us. But... my Guardian... was recently killed." He pauses, looking her in the eye as he summons his courage to continue. "Will this harm my existance in some way, or is there a way to bring her back? Lady Anya seemed to think that perhaps her spirit is still hanging on, and Riven has recently confirmed that her spirit is wandering, looking for a way to return..."Morion (Gunsmoke Girl)

A:"This is not a quesiton as well. You have yourself just told me the answer. It is not important if your Guardian is alive or dead. Some of the Guaridans are not human. It is is important that she still cares for you and worries for you and wants you to exist. As long as she wants you to exist, whatever form she herself might be in, you will live."

Q:"Well I do have one question . . . and I may be a little silly but it does frusterate me. Why am I so small. is there any way to make me big? well not big but bigger."Aurora (Ravestarr)

A:"It is my fault. I appologize. I ... I didn't have enough ... material ... because ... it got all used up before and there was no time ... to get more. I was hoping it would only affect your magic, but instead you have your full magic soul, but somehow it affected your growth. Um ... it is possible to change it still, if you wish. I can change it.I just need to rest a little"
