Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nadroj walked into the ocean water to rinse his body. The blood from the last village he crushed had dried and caked itself to him. As the oceans currents pounded against his body the blood stained the crytal blue waters. He was so exhausted from his fight with Hikaru that once all of the blood was gone he fell to his knees. His eyes grew heavy as his limbs did the same.
He fell asleep as the oceans currents began to retreat from the sands. Thinking back he hadn't slept in years, his odd position made no difference in the amount of time it took for the tired feeling to wash over his whole body.

Nadroj dragged his feet through the white sand kicking up bits up broken see shells that had been washed ashore. He had seen many things over the centuries. He had seen the flesh of humans, demons, elves and lycanthropes ripped from their bodies and devoured by his animals. He had seen vampires wither away to nothing after he ripped their very hearts from their bodies. Despite all of this it was the images he saw, while dreaming, that disturbed him. He gave his all in an attempt to get the images out of his head, or atleast push them to the remote regents of his mind. He was successful, but only after finding something else to focus on. That angel, Hikaru, and that elf. Both were creatures he despised. Though he had never battled an angel before, he was all to familiar with elves.
In the past, any battle with an elf held a slim victory. In the past any elf he had faced nearly killed him. In fact, had it not been for his superior intellect as a hunter, his mission to restore nature would have ended nearly a hundred years ago. What makes them such a threat to me?!
He stopped in his tracks. After all of these years he had had an idea. Dangerous, yes, but if he could pull it off he would gain that much more insight on elves and angels alike. He decided to go to light realm. Once there he could pose as some type of animal in order to spy on the natives. There was only one question that remained. He had never gone there before. He had no idea where any of the portals to light realm were.

Nadroj reached the very edge of the coastline and approached the edge of the forest. Before stepping foot across the border he heard the sounds of footsteps tracking through the wet sand. When he turned to face the sound he could make out a figure off in the distance. A brown haired woman. It appeared that her approach was not just due to happenstance sake, she had been following the footprints he left in the sand. He almost began to charge at the young woman, but he couldn't afford to spend his time unwisely. If he was going to get into light realm he would need to go back into the forest, find the angel elf duo and hitch a ride. These are dangerous times for any human...what is she thinking following the foot prints of someone she doesn't know?
He turned and ran into the forest. As soon as his first foot hit the forest bedding he transformed into a tiger beetle and ran as fast as his little legs would allow.

The figure of a man appeared in the gloom of the forest, his shoulder shaking as he snickered in laughter, his fingertips tapping together mischeviously. "Well, little girl..." He stepped out of the gloom. He didn't look all that scary out in the open. Well, mostly because he was so short... Standing at less than 5 feet tall, he was a dreary sight to behold. "If it's a job you wnat, I'll give you a job." He pulled out a few golden coins from out of his pocket and began flicking them about in his hand like juggling balls. "What do you say?"

At the girl's comment, he began shaking madly, as he tried to supress his laughter. The little man's suppressed laughter started growing, and then drew out into a huge bellowing maniacle cackle. "Umm..." He coughed, recovering himself from his little laughing moment. "It's a simple job, really." He pointed to the multiple numbers of rocks that lay about the beach. "You see those rocks?"

"Pick them up. All of them." He smiled, snisterly, showing that he was quite serious. This is what happens when you make fun of an employer, after all.
