Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ty'Athalae was searching frantically. Aegis, her younger brother, had gone missing, and she knew that if Dryll found out about it, he would panic.

'He is sooo totally going to kill me!' she thought, while looking in a small cave, 'Damn, not there.

"Aegis, Where the hell are you?" she called out, "You know damn good and well that Dryll is going to kill both of us if we don't make it home by curfew."

Which was something, Ty thought was completely lame, 'I can't believe we still have curfews. I mean we're freaking teenagers already. We can easily take care of ourselves now.'

While lost in her thoughts, Ty wasn't paying attention and bumped into a strange woman, "Oh I am totally sorry dude. I so did not mean to do that."

"Umm, yeah," Ty was a little leery of the woman swimming in front of her. This woman was unlike any other that she had ever seen; it was almost as if she were a jumbled up mess of many things.

"Um. My little brother ran off, and its starting to get late. If we aren't home in time, our uncle will have our hides," Ty rambled on a bit, "So umm, yeah. Have you seen him?"

'A description might help,' she thought for a moment, "He's really pale-skinned and has bright white hair."

((Hey bard, do you think you can give me a little more than single line dialogues to work with ^^; It will make my replies a bit quicker if I've got something substantial to work with.))

(( Thanks ^_^ I was busy, but I'm a lot less now that Ember is done and the gryph event is over.))

Ty giggled softly, 'Maybe this woman's sea-legs are a bit too rusty to be much help. But some help is better than none.'

"Umm.." she thought for a moment, "You know I never really thought about that. He doesn't have any legs at all, if that helps you get an idea."

"Yup," Ty nodded, "I have never seen him anywhere else. Well, unless you count that time that Malina dragged him around in his shell on the beach."

"Oh, you would have loved it," she couldn't help but to start giggling, "Malina had a hold of the shell base and was tugging it around. Aegis was bawling, and Uncle Dryll was yelling at everything."

Ty paused, once again realizing her brother was missing, "Umm.. do you know any places around here that he could hide in? Because, like, I've searched everywhere"

"Don't worry, I bet I can," Ty beamed, "You just show me the way there, and when we get there, I'll need ya to keep a look out just in case something decides to start trouble."

"Okay." Ty followed Kelypso, making sure to keep far enough behind to not slam into her again. "I'm gonna take a peek inside real quick."

She headed into the mouth of the cave before turning back, "If I scream, run for help okay?"

"I doubt it, but just in case." Ty swam off into the cave.

'Its so dark back there. Aegis would be scared stiff to go too far in...' she thought, 'But it can't hurt to check. Just in case.'

Her adventurous nature was getting the best of her. Ty was unable to convince herself to leave the cave, and it was starting to get darker the deeper she went.

"Gosh. Whoever thought a cave could get so dark. I can hardly see anything at all." She decided to call out again, "Aegis, Are you back here somewh- Oof"

For a brief moment, she had decided to lean against the rock wall which had, at the same moment, decided it no longer wanted to stand up, and so, it gave way shortly after revealing a much larger and more complex system of caves.

"Hey. Hey you back there!" She called out to the mysterious woman waiting at the entrance, "There is some kind of huge opening back here. See if you can find the way in from up above."
