Welcome to Gaia! ::

deep in the forest, about 50 miles from the castle. Lies the elvin woods. This part of the forest is filled with tall trees that block out the sunlight along with shorter trees that have branches that twist in many directions. The shorter trees hold smaller houses for those who prefer to live closer to town and in the middle of all the commotion. The air is filled with small pixies who glow like fireflies. There are also lamps strewn throughout that serve as pixie houses. When many gather in them at once for a rest it lights up the night sky for all to see with a beautiful golden glow. Behind the tree houses and town area is a large mountain. Many elves who prefer to have more of a private living environment choose to live in the hollowed out rooms within the mountain . You cannot tell where one house ends and the other begins by looking at the outer slope of the mountain. Many of the mountain side homes have curtains made of moss or leaves so that their home may blend end with nature. These are perhaps more of the safer houses. Off to the side of the mountain where the houses are located, is a large waterfall that leads into a pool of water. This is enchanted water that if drunk from one will become of the elvin race.

I arrive back to the Elvin woods after visiting the Castle and dismount Tsunami. I spotted Zen Mikata, the Cabian Fox that the Elvin race has adopted as one of our own, by his den under the trees. I stopped by and said, "Hello. How are you today Zen Mikata? You look as if you are geared up to go out for adventure."

Turns to see Aurora and begins to move his hands mimicking the Elven greeting.It took him a few tries to get down but after the years he has gotten really good at it. "Hello Aurora, it's a beautiful morning" pauses for a second "I am about to travel to the forsaken place." He hated referring to his former home as such but with the current inhabitants it is far from friendly. "would you like to come?"

"3 moons and one sun from now." He turns to walk away then faces the ground and says "thank you" to Aurora in a sorrowful voice.And than continues to walk towards the cliffside.He takes a deep breathe and than jumps in rapid succession down the cliffside toward the great wide river that lay below.

*She flys by overhead then slowly lowers herself by Aurora with a flitter of wings that resemble a dragonfly's. She lands gracefully, and spots Zen running toward the water. She laughs exuberantly.* I think we should let him bathe. *She waves to his back and starts off a little ways into the woods to give him privacy.* I hope you don't mind my intrusion, Aurora, but it is lonely in the castle. *She gives the newcomer and his cat a friendly wave.*

Absorbs his final landing and nods to himself.He goes to the near-by shore and begins a regiorious routine of combat stances while performing magic.

I nodded to laurlei and said, "no problem. We are glad to have you join us. How was the castle? I feel like I learned a bit more about teleporting before I left." I then turned to our new comer who was resting thought, "I'll have to introduce myself when he wakes." I held tsunami trying to calm her from her excitment of being surrounded by new company. He's harmless, just likes to sniff, but I couldn't have him disturbing anyones rest. I decided to practice some teleporting one tsunami calmed.
