Welcome to Gaia! ::

Silly looked a the inventation while carrying Mea. Boy she hoped she was at the right place. She looked around trying to spot others.

Mea was hampering Silly's vision by getting into her face every few seconds making baby noises and such.

Silly sighed. "Come on Mea would you stop that for just a little while. I need to figure out where we are going."

Chii ran up ahead of Silly then squeeled. "We are at the right place." She jumped up an down pointing at Rune. "There's Auntie Rune!!" She ran towards Rune yelling. "Auntie Rune!!"

Freya followed after Silly. "Yeah it looks like Chii is right. There is Aunt Rune. But why is she blindfolded?"

Kazuki had his paws buried in Fuffles fur as he rode on his back. "Runi!!" He squeeled out hearing Rune's name. He loved his Aunt Rune.

"Then - ta-da!" The giggling brunette whipped off Rune's blindfold as Chii ran up, all three of the young women beaming. "The Tenjutsu Spring Event!"

"The - what?" Rune gaped, completely astonished, her eyes wide. The pregnant Jinn turned and grinned, waving to Silly, Kazuki and Mea. "Hello, Ma - Silly! Welcome to the event!"

"LEXI?!" Yelped a voice from the tree nearest Alexia and Trinity; a few seconds later, a young figure with golden-brown feathered wings leapt down to the sidewalk, staring at the two newcomers with a bright grin. Aeris looked stunned. "You grew!"

Cody, meanwhile, landed hard on his bum, bowled over from the bear's attack. With a happy shout of laughter, the golden-haired Tenjutsu set Steve aside and rubbed between the bear's ears happily. "So who's this little guy, eh, ninja boy?"

Silly waved with Mea in her arms. "Hiya!! This looks like its gonna be alot of fun!!" She headed towards Rune. "Hello Rune!! Looks like you got a surprize." She giggled.

Chii ran up throwing her arms around Rune hugging her tightly. "Auntie Rune!! Lookie we got Freya to come too." She bounced hugging onto Rune then pointed at Freya.

Kazuki squeeled his nose twitching as Fuffles led him closer to Rune. He slipped off Fuffles back then toddled over to Rune. "Runi!! Runi!" He wrapped his arms around her leg.

Fuffles yipped at Kazuki. "Now don't run off like that Kazuki!! You could get hurt."

Freya stared at Chii. "Don't need to make such a big deal out of me being here also." She smiled at Rune. "Hello Aunt Rune."

Mea squeeled loudly. She waved her arms around. "Kazu!!" She wanted down to play with Kazuki also.

"Explosives would be BAD." Cody cracked up. "We think there's some live things in the lake. Like Familiars and stuff. A combination of Jinn and - well, whatever magic Syblin has."

Rune blinked, returning Chii's hug, then burst into laughter, hugging the three young women in turn. "You guys are awesome." She giggled, scooping up Kazuki and tickling his stomach before ruffling Freya's hair. "And you, little fuzzball, are the cutest thing I've seen in a while. Hi, Freya. You look very nice."

"FWEND." Came a small, impetuous voice at Rune's knee. A young child stood there, no more than a toddler, but his look was confident as he pointed up to Mea, ordering Silly. "Fwend down play."

"Caz!" Rune gave him a sharp look, but he seemed rather unfazed. With long, dark hair pulled back in a ponytail, he wore what looked like the standard Traverse-uniform, a T-shirt, jeans and boots. His skin was tanned, and almond eyes stared unblinkingly up. "Fwend down. Now, pweese."

(Meet the newest Chimera child, Caz. He's the closest kid Rune has to a troublemaker.)

Kazuki squeeled loudly hugging onto Rune. "Runi!! Pway!!"

Silly smiled sweetly then set Mea down on the ground. "Hasn't he gotten big? And hes walking!! Can you believe it?? My little boy is walking!! Thanks to the hard work from Fuffles. Thank god he is walking he is getting really really heavy." She ruffled Fuffles fur on his head. "Fuffles has turned out to be a great companion for Kazuki."

Freya blushed. "Thanks Aunt Rune." She gave Rune a hug herself. "Is Mirelle here? I would love to see her. I have good news for her. I made a new friend. She's a little kitten named Hari. She's very very sweet."

Chii giggled looking around. "And I'm betting that Rosie is here somewhere. I want to see Rosie!!"

Mea squeeled at Caz then gave him a big hug. "Pway!!!!"
