Welcome to Gaia! ::

Classes, field trips, festival were all good, but AJ got bored after all of these ended. No sparring in Haunted House, no events and big classes, he just wandered around. He took a quick meal at the Creepteria and planning of what to do next. Then, the loud conversation of his neighbour was overheard.

"Hey, do you know the existence of the artifact?" A watched around sneakily before "whispering" to B. "There were rumors that Abandoned Isle of Enchantment consists of many treasures!" Shhhhhh!"

AJ didn't care about how B reacted, he finished his meal and walked out of the place while typing some text messages with a mischievous smile.

"I know what I am gonna do now, Bro." He said to the head while heading to Library.

Maple was doing her own sorts of research when the small dinky phone on her desk began to buzz, bringing her nose out of a very informative tome about managing one's FEAR (Self help book? Why yes, it had been another book she had picked up when she had been on her adventures to the Maul with Andrew). It was more of additional reading, a break from doing other reading for homework really.

But all the same, her brown eyes were on her phone as she reached over and plucked it off the small stack of books. Maple flipped it open and promptly blushed when the name of the sender caught her eyes. AJ. Well, of course he would send a very lovely letter of intent. It didn't stop her from nibbling on her lower lip. Someone was asking her for help, and oh how she had to wonder if she could even possibly provide something for such a nice boil.

For a good few minutes, she stared at the small screen in her hand and debated on a reply. Should she go? (It was AJ). Or should decline and make up some excuse? (It was AJ, and she would feel terrible with letting him down). Just have to believe in yourself, her fragmented self had told her. Maple made a small hesitant noise, nearly closing her eyes as she clicked to reply.



She made another small noise, one of uncertainty as she closed her open book. Maple pocketed her phone, pushed herself from her desk and made to leave to go join the boils in the Library.

Andrew's grumpy look shifted instantly to one of interest. "Treasure? Why didn't you just say so?" he turned and crossed his arms at the other boil, giving Maple a glance as she came in. Seemed that AJ was smart, bringing in the book girl. "What did you overhear?" Straight to the point.

"Yep! Treasure! T-R-E-A-S-U-R-E!" AJ's eyes brightened up as if they were two high voltage light bulbs.

Obviously the boil forgot they were in Library, a place where they should keep quiet. They got some glares from those bookworms working hard on their paper work. AJ gave the creeple a sorry smile while directing the group to a corner where there was less or even nobody. "Come, get closer."

"What I heard is - there is a forgotten place where rested some precious treasures! Isn't it exciting?!
- But first, we need to find some books about the place. So how about we split up and search for a while? Just bring back the books you think useful will do!"

Grinning at Andrew, he continued. "Hey boil, don't give me that look, okay?.......A-alright, I will do the reading instead. Listen, the area is something called the......er...Abandoned Isle of...something started with a E.......let's start the searching!" AJ winked to the two, he couldn't search through a big place like the Library by himself.

Maple was glad that Andrew had mentioned something about AJ's volume, because she had no idea of a nice way to say that he needed to respect the rules of the library. She had to appreciate his excitement though, perhaps if she had a little more backbone she could share the sentiment. But alas. Only worry, and growing.

Forgotten, abandoned and he didn't even know the full name of the place? Maybe it was a reason it carried such a name and treasures left; not so others could find it but because of some horrible inexplicable aspects about such a place. She gave AJ a pitiful look, Andrew proved to be no help as he wandered off to the table to look on his phone (okay, so many there was a good reason to upgrade after all). No, he wanted her to do this. Even with his lack of information.

Maple gave a little bit of a whine, and a desperate look as she pushed herself towards the rows of books. The geography section probably was going to be the best place to look.

The first link was Isle of equestrian Abandonment. It didn’t sound quiet right but Andrew shrugged and clicked anyway. Oh woah! Not what he wanted. Horse pron… his eyes. He couldn’t click the back button fast enough. His poor virgin mind was now forever scared, and his face, hands and tail all heated up to temperatures only achievable by creatures born of hot temperatures. It was a good thing he had his old phone back, because the temp one would have been Barbeque by now.


"AJ... AJ what was that last word?" he hissed at the other Boil turning in his seat. He didn't want to run into.... any more of this.

AJ didn't know the virginity of Andrew's mind was taken or how Maple was suffering from scanning through numerous of books. He just struggled to recall the last key word of the place he overheard while pulling one book out, and put it back aimlessly.

Was it a name or a simply noun?

It should be en- something........

Meanwhile, the awaken head pulled out a book from the upper shelf out of curious and dropped it onto AJ's head, it was thick and heavy. Good job, head.

"Ouch! Gee - why a book suddenly fell down?" He rubbed his head while looking upwards at the hole not far above. The head was pretending to be innocent and AJ didn't notice that it was its fault at all.

AJ decided to take a look of the book title as he wondered what content of such a heavy history book would be.

"Elementary Guide for Charms? What the jacking that it was in the history section?!" Apparently some naughty student just put it no matter where it should be.

W-wait wait wait wait WAIT! Charm? Charm?

He thought he knew what's the last word, he immediately texted to Andrew and Maple because he had to continue with his search before finally headed back to the desk after a while.

"So what have you guys found about that place?" AJ came back with a load of books, with labels on each. A smile was on his face, as usual.
