Welcome to Gaia! ::

Many seers have foreseen what the possible future of the world held for man kind. Unfortunately, none could clearly state the details of such an event, or the day of, as well as the exact cause. Many citizens dismissed the predictions as hogwash however, for centuries nothing as disastrous as what was predicted had ever occurred. There had been many wars and world disasters, yet every obstacle was overcome by humanity, but none held the threat of the worlds end. As a result, many seers had been killed for what was believed to be misleading information. Though many of world destruction predictions was dismissed as nonsense, there were a few handful of citizens in different era’s who believed strongly in the truth of their seers words, and as a result sent those who were deemed chosen to undergo a sealing ritual of some kind until the time they were needed would arrive. Centuries passed and on the surface of things, everything seemed peaceful except for the occasional war or two. Underneath the surface of peace, however, a dark matter began to form and multiply. Demons, the spawns of the devil, whatever words the present era had for them, were slowly, but surely coming into existence and growing in strength. Their conquest was to overrun the world above and enslave, if not destroy all life above. Their very existence, consisting of turmoil, hate, destruction, insanity, created a purpose for their lives to cause misery and death wherever they went. As the century’s passed, their small amount of mischief quickly took a turn for far worse. These intelligent beings hiding in the shadows of the world, also had a seer of their own, and knew well of the potential obstacles they would soon face in their goal of world chaos, and as a result are on constant watch for the day when the futures’ “hope” will arrive.

- Both girls from the past were frozen in preservation for the modern time.

Feudal Era

A gentle breeze grasped onto strands of hair, lightly tugging them along the young priestess's face. The girl, knowing it would be the last time she felt such a pleasant feeling, let out a soft, inward sigh. She had been walking towards a cliff face with a small group of body guards, priests, and priestesses for some time. And with each step she took, the small, semi hidden black hole of a cave grew bigger to her eyes. The area was chosen for the holy magic it contained, as well as the purpose of protecting the girl should unwanted guests stumble upon the area. Despite what others claimed its purpose to be, the young girl named Alicia felt it seemed more like a prison. After all, it was the spot she was to be encased in for unknown years in order to stop the prophecy of the world ending.

Within minutes, the small group slowly marched into the cave, leaving the last bit of light Alicia would see for a long time. It would have been difficult to see where to step if the guards hadn't brought a torch to light the way. The cavern seemed deeply embedded into the cave, yet there were no twists or turns. After what seemed like five long minutes of walking, Alicia's eyes could make out double stone doors ahead. The doors where engraved with a symbols and characters that the priestess could only guess was more than just for design. The group came to a sudden stop in front of the doors, one of the priests stepped ahead of the group. Raising his hand and chanting some words, the doors began to faintly glow before slowly opening. The noise was loud, causing Alicia to flinch from the unexpected pitch. Then the group began to move once more.

The room they entered into afterward was much larger than the actual walkway leading up to it. At the far side of the wall was a large platform with an engraved magical symbol of which Alicia had only seen once before in a book. The outward rim of the circle had a foreign language while the inward design had an intricate image of flames circling a sun and crescent moon etched in the center. Cutting across those images were chains that appeared to form an image of a star. In front of the platform stood two stone pillars used as torches to light the room. Before Alicia could study the room further, the small company moved forward. Two guards stayed behind to watch the door while two more stepped forward, lighting the stone pillars. Instead of the fire being bright red and orange, the girl noticed both torch fires turned to a deep bluish teal color. Alicia was then placed in the center of the circle. She was instructed to face the entrance and close her eyes as the priests and priestesses circled around her, making sure to keep a safe distance from the engravement on the floor.

Taking a deep breath, Alicia closed her eyes, as the chanting began all at once. The circle below her feet began to glow a bright blue color, causing an unnatural wind which slightly pushed Alicia's hair outward before lifting her body up from the ground. Soon afterward, as the chanting increased in volume, the wind began to wrap itself around the girl's body, increasing in speed until finally it dispersed as if shattered, leaving behind a light teal crystal that covered Alicia's entire body. The chanting had not ceased however, for as it continued, small black holes appeared from the floor and walls. Within moments, chain links shot out of the openings, wrapping themselves around the crystal to hold it in place. As the glowing began to die, the chanting slowed to a stop. The spell had worked, yet the one's who cast it were exhausted from it's power. Slowly but surely, they shuffled out of the room, and shut the stone doors, sealing the crystallized girl behind them.

Modern Era

A shrine had been built near a forest, due to the strange holy power that seeped out of the very soil itself. The cavern, hidden behind fallen rocks and overgrown roots, was all but forgotten. The only way leading to it seemed to be hidden by the overgrowth that came with the forest's creation. The girl sleeping within the crystal still remained undisturbed.

((there is no problem. it's good to see you on and rping again vivi ^.^ lets make this a good story.))

Only a few steps behind stood a young man of slightly shorter stature dressed in a more casual excluding the strange necklace dangling around his collar. The coattails of his unbuttoned coat swayed in the light breeze that withdrew from the caverns depths giving its fire like design life. On his back holding the upper part of the coat against him were a pair of scabbards containing their respective broadsword.

Unlike his older brother who seemed to be eager to move through the cave before them, Renzo was hesitant. His eyes had shifted shut as to focus on the spiritual presence that was ever so obvious in the vicinity. He was much more sensitive to the unnatural in comparison to his brother which would explain why the two seemed to have apposing interests when it came to exploring the cave.

Becoming distracted when his name was called, realizing that a question had been asked yet he hadn't heard it into now, "Oh, well, lead on." The answer was more so an automatic reply than something that was considered. Renzo shook his head to clear his mind before speaking once more, "Just in case you aren't aware, there is something strange in this place. Which is twice as bad seeing as I'm using my standards here." He had the joy of being able to see, hear, and sense spirits of many kinds. Mostly the dead, which to him is pretty damn creepy. Especially when the beings are strong enough to maintain their actual form. It just isn't pretty. Despite all these encounters including more, this presence was not something he was familiar with. Most likely the brothers would have to approach with caution.

The spiritual presence bothered him greatly, only worsened by the fact that he couldn't see more than ten feet in front of him. He would be able to sense a change if it became aggressive and could distinguish its appearance, but he wouldn't be able to account for the surroundings. Most likely he was worrying for nothing. The entities of average to superior strength usually avoid humans, knowing full well of the consequences of meddling with the living. It was the lesser beings who were unable to maintain a standard intellect and caused most of the trouble. Whatever they were dealing with was definitely powerful, holding a thick and distinct aura he had never felt before. Yet at the same time it felt so familiar.

The young man was brought away from his thoughts by the sudden light, ridding him of a part of his worries. It wasn't until after Altair's comment that it had completely slipped his mind, "Now that's something to think about isn't it?" A small smile appeared on his face, his childish imagination going to work, "I can see it now. Some lovely maiden from the past frozen in time awaiting the 'Chosen One' who will awaken her, beginning the quest to save the world." Despite it being his own joke, Renzo couldn't help but laugh. He had often played with the idea that his existence was that of some greater importance. His powers would one day save the world: such a childhood dream. "Knowing my luck she'd probably be a hideous spirit that wanted to devour my soul by tickling me."
