Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was approximately two o'clock in the afternoon. Lillian and Lucas were in the city park: Lillian wandering around the park aimlessly while picking flowers as Lucas watched over her from a nearby bench park. He smiled at how happy she seemed, though his mind was lost somewhere else. He was thinking about his new powers and the Dark Mages, and what would happen if they came after him, his friends, or his sister. Would the anger awaken his Dark Side again? He's been doing so well in controlling that lately, and he didn't want to lose control again...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Orion was in the secret chamber in which she and the other Dark Mages slept in stone for 10,000 years. There were three rooms to this underground lair: the sleeping room in which the six Dark Mages "slept" in stone, the main room where the six pillars stood in a large circle, and the prisoner room where they just might keep the Chosen Ones for certain reasons... Of course, the Chosen Ones just might end up dead rather than being kept prisoner, unless Orion had some use for them. In any case, Orion moved from the sleeping room to the main room, standing in the center of the six pillars as she waited for at least one other Dark Mage to join her. She needed to discuss the starting plans for the future doomsday (well, SECOND doomsday) of Balance City.

Orion spun around to see Void enter the room, a rare soft grin spreading on her face. "The others will awaken soon enough. Sometimes it takes longer for others to get up, but do not worry. We can start some of our plans while we wait for the others," she explained. Despite the soft grin, a dark look shone in her eyes as she walked over to Void, resting a hand on his shoulder.

Orion's black raven, Kuro, was in flight around the city. He kept a careful eye on the Chosen Ones, acting as an innocent spy of the sky. He first spotted Lucas in the park, watching his little sister Lillian. The raven decided to take a rest in a nearby tree, then shut his eyes as he spoke to Orion.

Orion herself shut her eyes the same time Kuro did, then opened them again. Her soft grin twisted into an evil one as she patted Void's shoulder. "Our first step is to simply watch the Chosen Ones. We may provoke them into fighting if necessary, but we need to figure out exactly what powers each one of them has. There should be exactly six abilities for each Chosen One... That is where you may start. I give you permission to cause some destruction of the city and torment those close to the Chosen Ones and the Chosen Ones themselves. Find out what the six powers are... Start with the one in the park. Kuro, my raven, is waiting in a tree. A Chosen One sits on a bench while watching over his sister."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lillian paused in her trip of picking flowers, looking up in a tree to see the black raven. "Hey Lucas! What kind of bird is that?" she asked, tilting her head up at the raven. Lucas looked up from the bench he was in, chuckling softly. "It's a raven, Lillian." "You sure? It looks like a crow..." "Nope, I'm sure~" Lucas couldn't help smiling as he watched his sister pick flowers underneath the tree, though he also couldn't help feeling something was very wrong about that raven. Was it the raven he saw on one of the Dark Mages' shoulders? Or was he just being paranoid?...

Orion looked up to see Akki walk into the room, smirking wider. "Nice of you to join us, Akki... I was just explaining to Void here that to start off our plans, we need to learn exactly what the powers of the Chosen Ones are. Kuro, my little birdy, has just informed me that there are now two Chosen Ones in the park. One, a male, is on a bench watching over his sister who's by the tree my raven is sitting in. The other, a young female, is by the fountain while her guardian, an older male, is on another bench."

Void smiled when she mentioned the word torture. So many different was of killing people were flowing through his mind, it was so dementedly, delightful. He let out a little squeak and started walking over to the entrance they had made. "Thank you Orion~" He said before floating up into the air and disappearing. He was now in a telephone booth. He pushed the door open and quietly, and almost completely unnoticed, he walked through the streets. He quickly found one of the many entrances to the park. The park seemed so peaceful, so calm, and, happy. He didn't like it. Not one bit. After a little while of walking around, he saw a girl picking some flowers. He smiled an evil smile and raised up one hand. He snapped two fingers and he lowered the gravity she would feel by 10%. Every time he snapped, it would decrease by another 10%, until it was at about 50% gravity. He left it like that for a little while. He wanted to see how the boy would react when his sister was in danger. But, he'd take it slow, at first.

Void smiled when he saw the boys reaction. Nature powers. He used his psychic powers to deflect the lightning into the air. He knew immediately after using his psychic powers that he was probably going to have to cut this confrontation short. Ten thousand years of being stuck in a stone pillar made his powers put more of a strain on his body than it used to. He waved a hand and a large fireball of black fire shot forward at a high velocity at Lucas. He wanted to see how he'd react to this. Void couldn't take it any more. He cut his use of gravity control on the girl, and suddenly, everything felt like it put less of a strain on him.

Akki smirked then vanished as he teleported to the park. He soon spotted a little girl by a foutain and her guardian

Lucas used more vines to keep him from going anywhere when the gravity changed, smirking as Void retreated. It was clear he wasn't his normal self a few minutes ago when everything was still peaceful. When a few moments had passed, Lucas suddenly collapsed. The vines disappeared back in the ground, Lillian hurried over to her brother's side and knelt by him. "L-lucas? Lucas!" she said in horror, shaking his shoulders. "I-i'm fine, Lily, I'm fine..." he muttered, slowly sitting up. Lillian hugged her brother tightly, Lucas wrapping his arms around her and rubbing her back. "I'm fine, ok?... Are you ok?..." Lillian merely nodded.

Kuro, Orion's black raven, merely smirked in the tree but went back to looking normal as he watched the others. Orion, however, got a full report from her raven.

Orion was sitting in a large chair in the pillar room, sitting in front of her pillar with a smirk. Void has some 'waking up' to do... and he didn't even figure out all six powers of this 'Lucas'...
