Welcome to Gaia! ::

In the back of the house in a room just a bit larger than a closet was a mirror. It had a very ornate silver frame. The glass itself looked ancient with a thick coat of dust. The room itself had peeling wall paper, and dusty lamps that hardly lit the place. The only thing that shinned was the door handle. Touched often, but still this made it seemed out of place.

Ceres smiled to Rhine as she set up the portal.

"I hope you two had a safe trip." Ceres smiled at Rose.

Ceres looked down at Kaida. "And again you shall. Home, and hopefully back here again. Although after a couple times it looses the fun effect." Ceres giggled.

Rhine in a humanoid form, wearing only a pair of swim trunks, had a cocky smirk, and a lazy look about him. His color and fins were the main give aways of who he was.

Rhine dropped to his knee's, with open arms. "Kaida I do believe you've gotten a tad bigger since our last meeting." Rhine purred with a smile. "I've got a sister know just about your size. She is out back eating the rose bushes." Rhine rolled his eyes. "Her name is Cassara."

Ceres watched Rhine with a smile, and then looked again to Rose. "Rhine said you'd like to visit the mountains, or perhaps the lake. If we hurry, we might can do a little of both."

Rhine stood up stretching. "It is all in the stomach... My sister who is a cat of sorts taught me." He smiled at Kaida, and gave a motion for her to follow.

Rhine lead them down the hall, through his mothers bed room, through another hall, out the door, and around back. "Cassara..." Rhine called out. "Someone is here to meet you"

Cassara slithered forth, and smiled. "A GIRL dragon!" She pranced forward. "I am Cassara." She was bold.

Ceres followed after Rhine leading Rose towards the kitchen area. However, in the second hall she hung a right into a large kitchen. "I'll just be needing the picnic things, and then we are off."

"Cassara this is Kaida." Rhine smiled. "She has come to visit you."

Cassara smiled, and pranced in step. "Is mother taking us on a picnic."

Rhine nodded soflty. "Yes, but I have a couple things to do. So, I will not be attending."

Cassara didn't seem to care. She pranced over to Kaida, and nudged her. "I bet our mothers are in the kitchen."

Rhine nodded. "You two have fun." He nelt done and gave a hug to Kaida before running off.

Cassara lead them to the kitchen. "You are a pretty dragon Kaida."

"Thank You." Cassara smiled. "I am all red, except the horns." She sighed, and then giggled. "But a lot of my red gets hidden under the jewerly. I am fasinated by shiney things."

Ceres laughed at Cassara. "Yes. She loves shiney things so much she, just about, wears everything she gets." As if it needed reaffirming. "You girls ready."

Cassara nodded, and nudged Kaida. Prancing in step. "This is going to be so much fun!"

Ceres smiled towards Rose. "Then lets go." She handed a basket to Rose, and then grabbed the other. She then looked to Cassara. "Grab your favorite ball!"

Cassara nodded, and went to get it. It had a handle for easy carry.

Ceres lead then on a good 15 minute hike to the lake.

Ceres sat down he basket. "We'll eat lunch here, and play for a bit. It is still another good 30 minutes to the mountains."

Cassara dropped the ball prancing in step. "Ready Kaida, lets play!"

Cassara paused in step, and smiled. "Game doesn't have a name. You hit it, and I hit back." Cassara nodded, and turned using her tail she sent it towards Kaida.

Ceres chuckled. In a mater of minutes Ceres had the blanket out, and half the basket emptied. "Rose, don't let Kaida feel silly about not know the name of things... We around here don't usually name our entertainment. We create at whims to suit us... In a way it helps keep us from the tv, and put us in the sun shine." Ceres streatched.

Cassara pranced in step as the ball came towards her. With a leap, and dive she used her muzzle to hit it back. Her tummy was rumbling but she was ignoring it because she was having fun.

"You are more than welcome to come here and visit... All you have to do is let me know so I can set you up a portal." Ceres smiled.

Cassara was a dragon who didn't like to get dirty, but she was getting into the moment. She watched Kaida's tail miss, and hit air.

The ball now bobbed on the surface of the water. She went bounding after it, forgetting that there was a dragon in the way of the ball. Trying to skid to a stop when she remember Kaida, it didn't work, and it sent both of them dirrectly into the water.

Thankfully the area they had landed in was shallow.

Rhine had taken her swimming once before, but that was out of choice to get in the water. However, now in this moment, Cassara was thrashing as if drowning. Her eyes rolled to her side looking at Kaida, hoping that her friend was alright.
