Welcome to Gaia! ::

Riko looked at Kessaris, blinking a little. "What?" She looked around and looked at her hands. "I feel weird... sick... no I feel like I don't know..." She thought about it, a feeling that no human being could feel. "No... I feel like m soul is being taken slowly... if thats possible..." She said softly, mostly talking to herself.

"Must be me." Alastor spoke in an arctic voice.

"Must be you? Then get away from her? What's your problem?"

"Information is my problem as well as yours. You're not only an aura sponge, you're in info sponge. That's why you feel the drive to go on this trip, is it not?"

Kessaris runs to Riko and holds her, feeling her temperature dropping. "What's wrong with her?"

"My aura. Something is wrong with it. That's part the reason I need you to go on this trip."

"What...okay, i'll go! When can we leave?"

"Tonight. You have to. The upcoming war will do more than just hinder you, it'll stop you. You're going to sneak off to Tenshu. And don't teleport or fly. There are special forces that can negate your aura far away using Bind. No one wants that."

"Okay....we'll walk then."

"Cool. See you soon. You too Serenity."



Nas looked at Monet with a smile, then an inquistive smirk. "What if we get close to the crystal? Aura is the same everywhere. People just control it differently."

((Have you all heard from Masta Phoenix???))

Monet looked at him. As far as right now, it will only absorb aura when you use your powers,it's like a sponge....but once Amara comes back, I have a feeling that she will be able to manipulate Aura..." she said to her. "I've seen it...in visions" she smiling.

Serenity gasped as Alastor said goodbye to her. She looked down as time went back to normal. She walked over to Kessaris and Riko. "She's right you know..." she said. "The time is now...I suggest Keliah and Kessaris teleport into the bulb,get the essentials ang get out,this walk will take a long time" she said to them.

Keliah walked over to them as well. "Weird" she said. She looked at the sky. Well it's now dusk....and once the lights go out" she snapped her fingers. "We have light" she said.

Serenity looked at Riko. "You have to use your pain for strength" she said. "that's the only way you'll become better..." she said looking into the distance.

Keliah looked at her. She didnt know what to do for Riko. She was only ten and it felt like she had the weight of the world on their hands. She looked down and sighed. "Im sorry" she said.

Zakk had barely manged to escape the collapsing building, though his path had been relativly safe, he knew where the collapses would occure and mangaed to lead a few people out with him. they had all long gone, he himself was lying down in a back of another bulding. he was dead tired, a few thoughts occured to him, the most immediate. "god i hate politics." he could'nt beilve what he had seen and he now understood more than he would like, ignorance was bliss. but he no longer had that luxury, and chances are those Shale leaders werent going to be happy, he needed to find Kendal. and h needed to find him quick.

Riko sighed, looking at Kessaris. "I'm going and getting ready... come on Keliah... let's go see if you can get different clothes on." She said softly, walking into the bulb and getting different clothes on. She looked at Keliah whens he was finished. "I don't trust Kessaris around Serenity."

"Thanks Keliah. Your a great friend...." Riko said softly, waving her to come to the kitchen. "So what should we pack... anything you want we have.. plus I think we can make food from the earth and we could get food from the markets.... money... we need money... I'll go get some..." She ran back to her room, grabbing her money and running back.

"But just in case..." Riko smiled and then went to the kitchen. She grabbed dry meat and crackers. "Here... " She putt it in a bag and looked at Keliah. "Thats bad... we can't fly.... I learned how to fly with my wings..." She shrugged and smiled. "For the best."
