Welcome to Gaia! ::

This second post is a summary of the story so far. I'll try to keep it updated, too, but again, no promises.

Wanda opened a portal into a new world, obviously terrified of whatever had been chasing her on the other side of her last portal. She met Wolven-Dream, whom she asked for help rescuing a girl from Vil Lain. Without hesitation, Wolven-Dream agreed. They proceeded to the city of Izton through another portal, where they met Jr in an alley using his computer. He also agreed to go with them to rescue a girl from Vil Lain on Nasel.

Once faced with the fortress on Nasel, Wolven-Dream and Wanda agreed to distract the guards at the front gate while Jr used his computer skills to open the gates. Jr said he thought the place where prisoners were held was down below ground level, so they fled guards approaching the front gate down stairs in the gatehouse after Wanda healed Wolven-Dream's injuries from the guards outside.

Down the stairs the girls found a corridor lined with doors and dim torches. Behind the first few doors they could hear nothing, but through the third door Wolven-Dream heard breathing. While Jr clung to the wall, Dream took the shape of a mouse to sneak in. As she approached the sleeping figure on the far side of the cell, she fell asleep as she was overcome by some kind of sleeping gas. Hearing a squeak as she succumbed, Wanda asked Jr to open the door. Then Wanda scooped Wolven-Dream's mouse form out of the room, and teleported the sleeping Tevin into the hall before Jr and Wolven (back in wolf form) closed the door.

Tevin knew of other prisoners, including Catsue, Nersll, Borens, Likmier, Cortage (a beauty) Celia, Tolest, Lushea and Hester. The group could hear guards coming, so they dashed down the corridor to the first intersection. Tevin believed the best route was to the left, so they went that way, and shortly found Catsue, Wanda's friend. With the guards still behind them, they continued down the corridor into the unknown.

Catsue used her amulet to create an orb of protected transportation which took them to her father's cell. But when they got there, Wolven found a cat but there was no sign of Catsue's father. As they continued along the corridor to stay away from the guards, they ran into Eve, who helped them fight guards that caught up to the group and killed Tevin. Continuing down corridors they met Priss, badly injured. Wanda finally gave up finding Catsue's father as yet more guards seemed to be approaching and opened a portal to another world, taking Catsue with her. Jr, Eve and Priss followed through the portal before it closed.

On a deserted beach on Syckave, Priss introduced herself as Sylia's bodyguard. When Wanda expressed concern leaving this "Sylia" behind, Priss became Sylia, timid and stuttering and worried. Eve became very protective of the girl(s) and assured Wanda that no one had been left behind of those two. Wolven-Dream hunted and brought back a moose for dinner, and Eve went foraging for food she found more palatable. Jr made a sand castle and took notes on his computer. Then as dusk fell, they were suddenly joined by Cael, a tiger-man who "fell" through another portal and is now lost to his homeworld. Priss/Sylia became ill and Eve teleported her into the forest surrounding the beach, where Priss and Sylia became two seperate individuals. While most of the camp went to sleep, Cael kept watch by the fire, and Priss and Eve discussed options.

Wolven-Dream sat quietly under a tree. she watches as the women toppled out of the portal and she stood. "Excuse me, but, are you ok?" she asked a little worried as she made her way to her.

Wolven-Dream looked wide eyed, "I will if I can." she replied as she bowed, "Wolven-Dream is the name, feel free to shorten it. You are?" she asked standing back up. she looked normal at first. her raven hair tied back and human features, the eyes a bit odd, almost wolf like. her black wolf ears were hidden in her hair as she had laid them back and her tail and wings hidden under her cloak. other wise she looked normal.

Wolven-Dream nodded and listened intently. "Dangerous.... and a rescue mission to boot. Sure I'll gladly help." she said with a confident smiled. she picked up her pack and put it up under her cloak, "When do we leave Wanda?" she asked not minding the uncertainty of not know when she'd return home. she didn't mind either, all the villages, towns and castles shunned her anyways for her ability to shapeshift and learn by sight and her magic spells.

Wolven-Dream nodded to show she understood and jumped through as well. she looked around at her new surroundings in utter shock. she'd never seen building like what she was seeing. the only large buildings were made of stone and were castles.
(she doesn't know what cars, trains or anything extreamly modern, she lived in kinda fantasy medevil times, kings and queens in stone castles with small villages. horse drawn carridges and stuff, please pardon spelling as well.)

Jr. walked out of a building. the word 'escape' was on his mind. he knew eyes were on him everywhere. if only he could just dissappear....but since that was not an option he decided to at least de-bug himself. it was like a game. and the 'higher-ups' weren't very good at it. Jr. ducked into a small alley and sat down. he pulled out his computer and began to work.

It's a car, an automobile. A means of transport. Here, let's take a moment to get oriented.
Wanda pulled Wolven-Dream into an alley. She saw the "young boy" frantically tapping on his computer. The faintest telepathic touch revealed he was as uncomfortable here as they were, though for other reasons. But what drew her most was the amazing computer he was manipulating with lightning speed!
