Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Moved here from the Clearing by the Waterfall and from ))

The horne had sounded, and minutes later the adult Pundus of the island arrived at the meeting place. Eyes widened at the site of the young demonic Pundu.

"My friends," Anathia began. "Many of you are too young to remember the war. Many of you weren't even borne yet. So I shall tell you...

Ages ago, when I was young, I gave birth to two beauteful children. However, my son was not interested in other Pundus, and fought often. His sister, my graceful, beauteful child seemed as though she didn't even need me. I was torne, for neither child accepted me, nor our way of life. As they grew, they began to hate eachother. They often fought, the girl sometimes winning only because she could outsmart her brother. And as they grew apart, they gained friends. Soon, there were three parties on the island. My son's, which considered fighting, power, and money the only important things in life. My daughter's, who considered knowledge the most important. And mine, which wished that all three groups could live in peace.

However, peace could never come between them. My son and daughter's ideals conflicted too much. One night, a fight broke out, and Pundus died on all sides. Young and old allike.

My daughter, ashamed of such un-needed spilling of blood, took it upon herself to lead her followers into the mountains, where they could live in peace, separated from all others. My son, arrogant and angry, took his people into the mountain, where they could fight as much as they wanted, and not have to deal with my daughter's people.

And now, it seems that his society is falling. The fighting and money have dwindled their numbers, and destroyed all of the food. So he has sent us a son in hopes of preserving his race. We will need an excelent Watcher to raise him, and hopefully re-integrate him into our society."

The leaders of the community knew not what to do, and were barely through discussing it when a pundu suddenly landed from the sky. It was Anathia's daughter, the leader of the angelics. She carried in her arms a young female pundu, fluffy and with small wings.

"Mother..." she stated. She turned to the others and began. "My people and I have noticed that my corrupt brother has sent you a child. We do not consider it wise to accept it. It will only lead to further conflict. However, if you must take him, we wish you to take one of ours as well.

This will keep a balance. And for every demonic that he sends down here, we shall send an angelic. My brother shall not gain control of this island..."
With that, she set the child in her mother's lap, and flew off.

Anathia looked at the two babies in her lap, and remembered her mother years... Hoping that these two could do what her children never could, get allong and both contribute to the city, she announced that a competition would be held soon, where watchers would be chosen. Watchers that could do all that was possible to make these two Pundus part of the society.

Radien blinked and looked at the two. He turned to Chaolin, waiting for her responce while he thought of one himself. There would be no other solution, he realized, then to get rid of the creature all together. The Pundus would die if it wasn't. He couldn't think straight, his mind lay on the Demonic and Angelic Pundu on the main island, what was happening with them.

He shrugged, answering, not waiting for his sister, "What is there to do. I suppose, we must get rid f this creature" He turned to his mother, "Once and for all"

Anathia nodded at her children's concerns. "I know that my villagers will listen to most of what I tell them, and will probably be willing to work with others. After all, they have lived with Lilliki and Myself. But will you be able to inspire your followers to work together? If you think they can work together, we will need to start training."

Massaging her old head with her whithered paws she went on. "Radien, your pundus would have to be willing to give up some of their fighting secrets. And Chaolin, I know it's hard for normals to learn anglic techniques, but we'll need your healing skills.

All of our pundus, young and old allike, will need to get together and train. But where? And how? And will only the normals be learning, or are the angelics willing to take up fighting?"

Anathia thought of the layout of the island, and how long the monster would be hiding and recovering its strength. "I doubt that it will be gone long, though you did deal a good deal of damage to it. I'll give us a month at most. Thus, we will have to start training soon.

However, we can't leave our guard down, we'll need some guards up. Do you have any teenagers that can stand as lookouts?"

((These teenagers that Anathia is speaking of are the ones being auctioned off, so you can reply yes to that >.< And say something about them getting watchers.))

"The Angelics will be by to help out in any way they can, they are obtaining watchers as we speak!"
Chaolin looked away trying to hide her feelings.

"Fighting is something I wouldn't agree to, but I as well can not speak for the other angelic's. If they wish to fight, so be it. As for I... I will be healing!"
She sighed and clasped her hands close to her chest.
