Welcome to Gaia! ::

elaise looked at eijii through felix's eyes as she sat on her rose dragon before looking around at the others." felix you know what to do." she murmered releasing the bird from her arm.

The man walks up to them and goes straight to Aku. He nods to her and says, "Welcome back. You'd better hurry, he's waiting for you." He then goes to the center of the rock triangle mumbling something then he disappears as if descending in an elevator.

Tarik asks Aku, "Do you know him?"

Amiric had sweat starting to bead on his face. "I can only keep this portal open for so long; I combined a complex weave for a technique known as Deathgates with a technique known as 'Kamui'. If it works as I expect, we should come out within a quarter mile of Tarik's current location," he said quietly.

Sasori follows along through the vortex. When they get to the other side it feels so weird. The ground was so hard and dry it felt like it was sucking the moisture out of their very breath. It was nothing but nothingness for miles around them.

"Wow, what a gray and dreary place. The realm of the dead is always either white and willowy or red and fiery in the stories of such places but this place is just like being in limbo."

Aku blinks, not sure she knew the man. She shrugged at Tarik in reply as she couldn't tell who the man was. Watching him go into the ground then glanced at the rocks. "Well...we know where to stand when we figure out the password." She jests with a chuckle, then scratches her chin in thought. Pondering over the clues they had. Three stones, change, and three stone. Each stone different then late..

Ryuu shrugs, riddles not really her specialty as she sat on one of the rocks.

Aku looks to each of the stones,"One's small...One's medium..and the last is old with cracks." She thought out loud, being three stnes then there would be three words. Small..older..oldest. She snaps, walking over to the middle. "If I'm right..then...." She pauses, getting her things then walking back. "Past, Present, Future." She said, also going into the earth like the man before them.




Once everyone got to the zone, they stood upside down at first before falling on the grey grass. Near them was a large tree, its bark filled with blood. Next to it stood the man they saw before waiting patiently. Looking around they would notice all the colors had faded, even their clothing. However, their eyes remained bright representing how strong one was. Behind the tree laid a long deep lake, and an eerie song echoed the air.

Merrick followed after Willow and Sasori. His eyes narrowed almost immediately as he sensed Tarik for several seconds before the man's chi signature vanished. He pointed directly at it as easily as if he could see what had happened. "That way," he said quietly. "There is a triangle of stones, and they have somehow vanished into the ground; I can usually track people by their chi, or life force, yet here, there is little to nothing to track," he said, meaning the signature that was left was fading even now. Fortunately I have locked in on where it was, so I can lead us there, he thought. Amiric followed last after Eiji went through. "I see them as well; I have a range of roughly 650 meters or about 4/10 of a mile, and we're about half of that from where the triangle of stones are," he said quietly.
