Welcome to Gaia! ::

Welcome home beloved hunter, be it as it may there is no password. Hold your breath, this may take awhile. This is the Hunter Hideaway. The entrance is in the mouth of a hidden cave, not just any cave, an ice cave. The opening is a mere illusion, next to the entrance is a rock that you need to push aside with your hand then place your medallion on. When you do this, bars underneath the illusion will move and you must swim under, exiting out to a hidden steal door. When you open it, stairs will take you deep underground to the hunter's land.

She sat along the rivers edge glaring into the water, she had finished her training for the day, but still hadn't received her medallion, she was full of dread and disappointment. Mother was too busty paying out satchels of gold to those who have hunted the elements already and she wanted to make her mother proud, but Minerva wouldn't even let her out of the hideaway. She had her head in her knees and the tip of her toes grazed the running water. Her yellow hair fell over her shoulder and laid against the side of her butt and her deep violet eyes stare blankly in the stream She couldn't help but let out a longing sigh to leave this place and grace the world above.

She kicked the water as she looked at Blake and moved her hair from her face, "Where am I to go, I can either move here or to the palace. Without a medallion I can't go anywhere. I think mother refuses to let me out cause she can't let me go, you know.'' She looked back at the palace then back down at the water.

She held the medallion to her chest then looked up at him, "Wait... Blake can you show me again?" She was referring to one of the elements souls. When an element dies the soul forms it's element and then enters the medallion. Only the holder of the medallion can hold the soul until it's handed over to Minerva. She waited to see if he even had one, she enjoyed looking at the fire element more then any of them.

She watched the element swirl around in the medallion in awe, "I heard once you use the power of the element you have, the soul dies and it no use after it's used once. Mother taught me that, speaking of mother, I don't wanna be around for that conversation. She says I am not ready for the outside, my heart is still too soft and my skills need improving.' She held the medallion he gave her to her chest and looked up at him as if he just gave her the best thing in the world, but felt a little bad knowing she was about to go behind her mother's back just to see the outside world.

Minerva ignored him throwing the medallions on her counter. She reached up handing a hunter a bag of gold for a fire element he just brought her. She didn't looked up from a book she was writing in, as she began to talk, "You only think that you are going to take my daughter out. I took that medallion you gave her away from her." She smirked as a red bird dropped a medallion at his feet then let out a large yell and perched itself above her seat. She reached down, picking the medallion up, looking into it, and saw no element. She tossed it in the pile he just gave her then looked up at him, "Thank you for bringing them back to me though. What else have you brought me?" She turned playing with a bag of gold in her hand waiting for him to give her his own elemental soul.

"One of these days you will find out that you can't hide anything from me, you have much to learn. Plus, you already know that she is not really my child, but another, I promised her real mother that I would protect her, so I will train her she has the skills of myself, until then, she stays here. Plus, she's not at the river nor at the mouth of the cave that you wanted to meet her at..." She finally looked up at him with that, nice try, look, then went back to passing out gold and taking medallions and replacing them with new ones.

She took the medallion from him and handed him a new one, plus a pound of gold. She marked down in the book she was writing in then she looked up at him with her smirk once more, "Good luck finding her." She stood up after getting his medallion, picked up her book and the bag of medallions, and headed for the back where only she went. She pulled out a set of keys from under her shirt and unlocked the door. A faint red color glowed as she opened it. She walked in, slamming the door, and locked it leaving Blake alone where he stood.
