Welcome to Gaia! ::

Echo blinked at Xalain. She tilted her head to the side as if curious. She could taste the seriousness of his emotions. She wondered what he as talking about. She ignored Lilith's response and her departure. Echo then turned her metallic blue gaze to Hitomi. "Fayte" she said breezily. "Yes he has already entered the Tree. He is trying to get back his family's Great Fragment The Eye of the World" Echo hoped he'd be okay but didn't worry for she knew he was strong.

Walking through the forest Fayte sighed. " So....What am I suppost to be doing? " He asked as he found something that stood out from the usual decaying tree or mindlessly cawing crow. Three graves stood solemnly against a large tomb with a stone figurehead of a cloaked skeleton wielding two stone blades. " ...Cheery... " He said walking over to the graves. He looked at them reading them one at a time. " Raised him from a boy to a man...Guided a lord's life... " Fayte couldn't read the rest of that one. He moved on to the next grave. " Guided to death by shadows, laid to rest upon water her body resides forever unscathed even in death. " Fayte was a little less confused about this one, the last grave made no sense to him what so ever. " Her eyes burn themselves into the soul, her voice brings salvation, the woman that smiles sweetly. " He raised an eyebrow looking at the stone figure of Death. He stepped back to get a better look, as he did his eyes widened in suprise. The Stone Version of Death rasied it's head glaring at Fayte through dusty empty eye sockets. " Claiming the eyes that pierce the world.....Prove your resolve before me... " It's voice was dusty and raspy like listening to someone with sand paper in their throat. Fayte once again succumbed to his confusion as the ground under the second grave began to tremble as a skeleton and shot from the ground clawing the dry dirt it dragged it's body from within it's horrid prison. From the inside out layers of tissue, veins, muscle, and ultimayelt skin began to form along it's pearl bones. Hair sprouted from it's head and eyes filled it's sockets taking on the shape of Kristen his long departed sister. " W-What kind of joke is this?! " He asked looking as his sister's eyes began to glow white and a wickedly cold smile pressed itself along her face. Tattered rags covered her silky skin as she reached up grabbing ahold of one of the swords Death was holding.

((Why is it that every time I click a pm and leave, some pop up survey shows up? And it's not just one pop up survey. It's multiple pop ups with the same survey.))

The Lilith girl seemed to be getting frustrated at being lectured by the others. Everyone was treating her as a child. He almost smiled when she called them "old farts," and then realized that she could have very well called him the same. He was older than those "old farts" over there. His appearrance just said otherwise. He watched her lift off into the air until a girl's voice interrupted him.

A black haired lady had just introduced herself. Strangely enough, Dais was sure someone from Celarius had the same name, but he made no comment on it. The girl didn't have to be the same person, and she didn't mention it.

"Hello, Silver. Beautiful evening, is it not?" He hadn't given his name.

Kendal Shadowheart
Kendal sighed as he walked around the area he hoped Fayte was doing alright. He thought about what the others were doing he was sure Akatan was still hanging out with Morrigan. He chuckled it was obvious they liked each other. He sighed as he continued walking he was lost in his thoughts. He was so deep in thought he didn't realise he walked into someone (lilith) until he nearly fell over. He looked at her and noticed she looked familiar. "Oh sorry about that I wasn't paying attention to where I was going let me help you up" He said. He held his hand out to help her.

As Lilith leaves he decides t just let her be. "hhmm so he has already started, i remember my trial" he shivers a bit "horrifying to think about" he stands shifting his pants and shirt. "well i guess now is as good a time as any" he looks to both hitomi and echo "hitomi if you wouldn't mind can i talk to echo for a moment or two alone" he his eyes grow a little softer as he gives hitomi a soft smile "there are a few things i want to talk to her about its nothing major, but you know me i prefer to talk to people in more privet settings" he he said in calm voice and a soft expression that would make it seem to be just a simple question and explanation to most common people. it was something Xalain was good at he could hide his motives and emotion to some extent

Fayte took deep breathes, fighting his father had actually been a problem. His father was a gifted Wind user, and with the the trees providing little to no cover he had had a hard time maneuvering away from his attacks. Fayte's clothes were slightly cut up, small scratches and scrapes riddled his body. Taking a final breathe he lunged forward just as he was infront of his father Fayte disappeared reappeearing behind of his father He thrusted the threads of water that he had created several minutes ago, impaling his replica fathers chest. He retracted the threads as his father fell to the ground, quickly being consumed by it leaving no trace of the replica man. Fayte watched as his water threads fell to the ground out of his control his sighed. He no longer could manipulate water in a liquid state. Looking over to the stone death he said. " And what about the final grave? I've only lost two people close to me, who could you possibly throw next? " He asked calmly. Death's skull mouth opened with a creaking sound. " The graves, have been memories.....Representing your past, was your sister, then your present was your father, and now the third grave represents your hopes, dreams I have chosen a challenge you will find much more...conflicting then the last two. " He said as he pointed to the ground. The earth began to slowly shift, it wasn't as ugly and jagged as the way the other two escaped. The skeleton smoothly rose from it's grave with perfect grace. Once again organs veins, muscle tissue and skin began to form on the hard bones, clothes soon covered her flawless skin. It was a silky blue dress it clung to her figure perfectly as brilliant silverish hair fell from her head. Turning to look over her shoulder Fayte's eyes couldn't believe what he saw before him, the replica this time had taken the form of Echo.
