Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vassou began to head back towards the exit, but the ground seemed to be less solid and more pliant. It began to slosh with every step he took, but to his dismay he had reached a dead end. There was sloshing noises, but not his own. He turned around.

Nothing.

He continued to walk until the water seemed to grow deeper and colder with each passing step. He shivered lightly until he heard more sloshing then footsteps.

"Please give it back."

He turned to see if anyone was there, but there was nothing.

Vassou kept walking until the water was at his neck. He thought that if he went any farther that he could drown. He sighed then went back.

"Please give me back my-"

Being pushed down under the water had frightened him. He struggled, but felt as if he was going even father down. His entire being felt that it was no more until the creature looked at him with deep, grey eyes, glassy, baring their sunken teeth-

"Give me back my heart."

The face and glassy eyes had frightened him dearly as he watched in dismay. He kept on struggling as a memory or a hallucination took over in his mind. He could see what looked to be a kitsune demon with a loving smile. His eyes welled up as if he knew this being. He squinted as he felt less of himself. Could this of been a mother? Asking himself, but the memory faded quickly as it had appeared.

It seems luck was on his side today. His heart beat widely until he found another piece of paper. "The code!" He exclaimed as he hurried to type in the combination. The door opened and out he ran into the forest.

Vassou tried the door to the abandoned house, but it wouldn't budge. He had a sinking feeling that he had to fight off the creature in order to survive. He held the dagger tightly in his hand. He waited for it to get close enough to be able to attack. He wrestled with the creature as it began to speak. "You stole my heart! Why Sovasu? Why?!"

It screamed as it scratched his face with the rusty scissors. "I thought you loved me? Then why did you kill me!?" It screamed once more before plunging the scissors into his shoulder. He felt a memory coming to him as he felt the blood come out from the wound. "Mother... I didn't mean to kill you! It was an accident..." He spoke as tears began to roll down his cheeks. He recalled that day she had died in his arms.

It was a cold and rainy night. They had been fighting and it turned bloody. "Sovasu... Please listen! You need to do this to be able to become an adult..." The furniture had been thrown around the room. The windows, shattered out of anger. Blood along the carpet and the face of a young kitsune boil. "Just shut the hell up! I don't want to be part of this stupid ritual! I want to be able to do this the way I want to. Let me grow up like a real kitsune!" He yelled at the top of his lungs as his grip had grown tighter on the large shard of glass in his hand. Blood began to drip down his arm and covered his hand. He didn't feel the pain, but was seeing red until the unspeakable happened. A scream rang out into the night. Sovasu was breathing heavily. He had done the deed. He plunged the sharp glass into her chest, into her heart. His eyes went wide as he realized at what he had done. "Mother? MOTHER!" He cried as tears began to trickle down his face. He picked up her and held her close. The blood began to stain his clothes a deep maroon. "I-i was... too hard...on you... Remember.... that .....I-i-i... love you...." She whispered softly until her last breath escaped her body. He had killed her. He had killed his beloved mother.

The figure had grabbed hold of his head, paralyzing him if anything. He could more nor break free. The thudding grew even louder, but he realized it was his own heart. "Don't worry", The voice cooed into his ear, "It only hurts once. Then a loud snip was heard and then a flood of pain filled his entire body. He was dropped to the ground, but he felt his life fading away. The figure had his heart in it's hand and the rusty scissors in the other. "G-g-goodbye....Mother..." He cried as he tried to reach out for her then his eyes closed, never to open again.

Vassou had seen the third goddess and wondered what she wanted from him exactly. He walked towards his destination as soft white flacks began to fall from the sky. He was curious as to what it was. Holding out his hand, he could feel it melt in his palm. Vassou was baffled by how this could be possible. After he walked a bit more he noticed his foot prints in the white layer above the ground. The music was something like nothing he had heard of before. He enjoyed it's sound, following it. He found a table with two jars, one pink and one blue. He stared at both for sometime then decided to take the pink jar.

Drink Me

Was written on the tag. He looked at it closely then took the lid off. He drank every last drop of its contents. He began to feel soft, warm, and happiness all over. He began to feel light headed, but at peace if anything. He watched as the empty table had become covered with cake and cookies. He looked at both with pleasant eyes as he chose to eat the cake.

The cake was rich with flavor and gave him a feeling that was almost uncontrollable. He felt a bit overwhelmed by the intense feeling. He needed to drink something. He noticed two different cups of tea. He took sometime before he chose the colorful tea cup.
