Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lunia stood all by herself at the Candlelight Vigil, she was glaring at the sky with such a lifeless look in her face. "If everyone's destiny is chosen for them, then why do i not have an clue what mine is?" she asked herself, looking at the big full moon with such wonder. She raised her right hand up to her eye patch and just held her hand over it, shaking slightly as she brought her hand back down. "This can never be known to anyone, yet it's what's making my life a misery.. why'd i have to look like this?" she asked herself, yet again she was miserable. She heard the slideshow presentation in process and realized that it was almost the time for the singers, Lunia quickly gathered herself together and raced down to the slideshow. She came on with the group of singers, and started to sing with them, right at the front, she had her own solo. Her voice soothed those who listened, it was so beautiful, she looked happy for once, singing away. Showing everyone that she had something worth knowing about.

As Rugalia stood thinking, three extremely strange events occurred above him. He saw all three, but didn't quite register them, he was too busy planning out his course of action - something which he could indeed do, but definitely not his forte; as such, this took quite a while. Seeing the sword float and shoot at extreme speeds was the first event - surprising, yes, but Rugalia waved it off as magic, something he didn't like very much, as he had the hardest time understanding it. The second occurrence, definitely more surprising than the first, was the fact that the jester not only dodged the sword, but managed to disappear in the process. The third occurrence was by far the most surprising, a second jester appeared on the rooftop, and charged toward Clad. Rugalia sighed deeply, Damn it! All magic! I hate magic! Magic very much frustrated Rugalia - at his young age, it was immensely confusing, and he had an extremely hard time fighting against it. Still, he had confidence in his strength and skill, and decided to try his hand at preventing the jester from knocking Clad off the roof. Ultimately unnecessary, as Rugalia figured Clad could easily prevent it himself, but he saw it as an opportunity to test the jester's skill.

Rugalia reached for one of the many daggers strapped across his belt. He swallowed, steadying his hand; he then took aim, and launched the dagger with great skill. It flew precisely to the spot where the jester would be when the dagger arrived at it's destination. It was thrown with a great deal of strength, but still wouldn't inflict too much damage if it connected. Of course, Rugalia didn't expect it to connect, he simply wanted to see how easily the jester dodged the dagger, and how. He figured it would give him some insight on the jester's fighting style. And if all else failed, it would at least give Clad enough time to respond with a thoughtful counterattack.

As they got to the bottom of the stairs the guard took them though a gate then locked it behide them, then pulled a lever, which made the staricase retract. They now stood in a large hall area where many people, resistance member, rushed around performing tasks, children also were shattered around playing tag to keep themselfs entertained, the area was lite by touches attached to the walls and had creates, spread thoughout the tunnels, four main tunnels went off from the hall, the one lead to where their 'doorbell' was, the second and third towards living quarters and the fourth to the armory, theres were lots of smaller tunnels around many led to dead ends.

Alister to a deep breath "home sweet home" and opened his arms wide to strech, a second he turned to Noise "what do you thing, not much i know but its a good a home as any" he thought a moment "this place used to be a stuggling den for thiefs and bandits, theres some tunnels we still haven't explosed so try to wander" after a taking in the sacifaction of his home Alister began to walk towards the living quarter, on some creates there were some young shifters sit upon them, they sniggered at Noise about his hair, this was something he didn't quite get, all Alister saw was that Noise's hair was different, as he walked passed them he held his hand out and smacked each of them round the ear, from that they knew to keep quiet.


Alister made his way pass many rooms with wooden doors, until he stopped at his, a note was held to it by a knife, Alister ripped it from there and began to read. It read, 'Alister, I know your at the swimming contest right now but we have a problem, I sent three men to evesdrop on some guards like you said, only one came back, it appears the other two have been imprisoned, come see me as soon as possible, Polom'. Alister slammed his hand against the door, it opened "dame it" he throw his weapons on to his bed and jestered Noise to enter, "Noise I sorry but theres a problem that needs my attention" he stepped out the room across the corriedoor and opened a door with a kick "this is your room, take a look around I'll be right back" with that alister began to storm down the tunnel, he needed to found out the situation of those that were captured, if he needed to leave he would most likely have to take Noise.

(Waiting for Shaco on Clad)

Noise was fairly impressed with the size of the resistance stronghold. Though what really got him was just how many there where in support for it. Entire families involved in such a thing had really never occured to the shifter. "While i agree its no palace this is still quite amazeing Alister." When they began walking again Noise noticed the other shifters and let out a groan and then hiss as they passed. He'd forgotten to ask if there were anyother shifters in the resistence and now his lack of prepairing had definatley earned him some sort of constant teasing. Though his human form hair bore the color of a typical male of his clan his changed form fur and hair was distinctly female colored. "nyyaaa i knew i shoulda brought some dye...oh well to late now..." The comment was made more to himself and he was broken from thought as Alister spoke once more. "Umm sure though if theres anything i can do i'd be glad to help."

AS the explosion encircled Leonardo the energy engulfed his body and blocked him from view. As the dust and light faded odd invisible substances could be seen reflecting the light from the sun. Soon wind blew around in a circle clearing the dust, and there stood Leonardo perfectly fine, the silhouettes spun wildly around his body they were the source o the wind. Soon they slowed to a stop. Soon glowing reflective glass suddenly burst from the invisible silhouettes revealing them to be the real essence behind his sword. Spinning around is body were nearly 18 blades they range in size from long swords to short daggers. He looked up at the jester. “ That was a very good try. However I’m not playing.” He started walking forward, again without signaling, 5 of his blades shot forward leaving soft vapor trails as they rushed towards the Ester attacking from different angles and sides Leonardo wasn’t feared on the battle field because his blade was magic, he was feared because of the cruelty in which he could use it.
