Welcome to Gaia! ::

The closest underwater town near the Earth Nation. Another entry point into the nation, if you are already under the water. Also known as Kelp Town, due to the humongous kelp farms in the area. A huge source of food for the water, and other nations. This town of a small population is mostly farmers and farm hands. Of course, due to resent tension, there was a hasty fort built here.

The town and fort, mostly ran by a milita of the farmers, are in an area-entrapment. The kelp farms are outside, in the water because that is where they strive. Wheat is also grown, but in small numbers and within the entrapment. One of the older settlements of the Water, it is also one of the less populated, as more moved further out to sea, and left many empty homes as a sign of tribute to its history.

Jade sat quietly on the boat as it sailed. It was a blissful feeling to be back in her own nation again. 'I wonder if dad still lives here, I guess I'm going to have to pay him a visit soon.' She at least owed him that. It was after all her mother's fault she left and not his.

Shina jumped at the sound of something splashing underwater, and turned her head in time to see the giant tail disappear beneath the depths. "Jade!" She shouted to the girl. "You're from water, what is that?!" She had never been to the water area before with unexpected things happening. It was disconcerting, and her fear of the unknown was stirred. She ran into teh store room of the ship, searching for any projectile weapon and found a crossbow. This probably won't even make a difference! But it was all she could find along with a full thing of arrows to go in it. She came back to the deck, wary.

Water rapidly displaced moving up and being forced apart portside as the massive sea creature resurfaced. it was a massive possibly larger than the entire ship, eel like creature with a mane of tentacles. Its face was somewhat symetrical on the upper and lower jaws with eyes circling around on each side. It let out a piercing deafening roar bearing its long broad sharp teeth before it slapped the water, splashing a wave against the side of the boat.

Colm gasped as the boat tipped over. His eyes grew large and he clung to Ashe. This is what we're going to do, first thing is to stabilize the boat, with out some solid land we're screwed. The vampire used his strength to pull Ashe unto the boat.

Ashe fell into the water at this point and began to try and swim away from the tentacles. But they were thrashing about in the water aswell. Each time one smacked the surface she found her mouth full of salt water that she had to struggle to the surface to cough out. She had lost her cross bow, and she had no other weapons on hand. All of them had been knocked out of reach when the boat tipped.

((Colm, I'll be gone till Sunday. Feel free to let us be dragged to Atlantis or something anytime while I'm gone))

Colm managed to dodge almost all of the snaps, almost all. The vampire could still move around in the monster's mouth. "Why hasn't he, it, swallowed me?" He asked himself. I'm going to regret this he mentally sighed as he sat on what the though was a tongue.
