Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aura walked from her room...rather confused. She didn't remember even going to her room. All so really could remember was Eclipse's story of the demon, Ryo, Dagan, and the Ethereal Plane. He wouldn't stay quiet about it. And although Aura enjoyed the serious, deep, almost angelic tone that echoed through her mind when he 'talked' to her, her patience was growing thin. And the winged wolf had learned that when she had clocked him in the head with a book earlier.

Eclipse now trailed behind her lazily, every now and again bumping her playfully, fully enjoying how his size practically rivaled hers, how he could actually be taller than her if he stood on his hind legs.The book incident was long forgotten, he was just happy he could talk to her again.

They continued walking slowly down the hall lazily, touring the seemingly quiet manor. Not many got up as early as she did, then again on certain days no one got up as late as she did.

Aura looked to the person who had called her attention. She cocked her head to the side a bit, not recognizing him. "Um, hello there." She placed a hand on Eclipse's fur, running her fingers through so the wolf would know not to take offense at the loud call. "I'm sorry, I haven't seen anything of the sort around here...may I ask your name?"

Aura gave him a warm smile and nodded. "Of course you can join me...so tell me Oak, how did you come by this place?" She was truly intrigued, no one had even seemed to notice the arrival, not even Eclipse.

The wolf switched sides so that he was next to Oak, sniffing at him, getting to know his scent for future reference, and inspecting him in the process, not intending to let anyone he knew about threaten the manor.

Vincent stood slowly from the ornate wooden chair he had been sitting in to make his way over to the heavy oke door that barred passage into his room, he opened it stepping into the hall. Vincent was a darkly handsome man with pale white skin, long raven hiar,and intence crimson eyes. He was dressed in a long tattered black trench coat, a black button up dress shirt, tight fitting black pants, and a pair of heavy black boots, but his bleached white fangs showed him for the creature he was.

He pushed off, starting down the winding halls tword the kitchen. He stopped aburptly as he heard a pair of voices makeing there way down a hall not too far from where he was.

It was almost as if he had appeared out of thin air, for not but a few moments later Vincent was leaning easly aganst the wall a few paces ahead of them.

"Interesting." Aura stopped and chuckled slightly. She looked to the girl and smiled. "Well seems we have more company."

Eclipse spun around, flaring his wings and growling a bit at the other wolf. He took a step back to examine the creature that was so like him, yet not. He sniffed the air that wafted around the creature and logged it away. His protective instincts taking over, his folded his wings tightly back, returning over to Aura to stand next to her as if he was guarding her.

"Don't be edgy Eclipse. By the way, I'm Aurahkah, Aura if you wish." She said it more for the both of them. She looked to the girl again. " And your name?" Out of the corner of her eye, she watched Vincent, leaning casually on a wall, and gave him a wink in greeting.

Flare smiled slightly at eclispe. "My name is Flare" she strokes blaze's sliky head. "And this is Blaze"

Blaze overaken by curiosity took a step closer to eclispe, givning a low bark.

*looks at Li and flushes* "um... hi," redface " i'm Oak."
