Welcome to Gaia! ::

WEEK 1: Day 001: New Beginnings

She stood alone in the open field. The brown grass came up to her waist. What was she looking for? Was she waiting for someone? Maybe she was just passing through. Whatever the reason she was in this particular field, she had long forgotten. The full moon was dazzling in the sky. The cool wind blew and swam across her skin and dress. The moon she thought, is so wonderfully beautiful and sorrowful. She shed a tear, and left it to fall.

"Miss?" A man's voice asked.

Her heart spun and she quickly turned to see who it was. He had long silver hair, quite unusual to a girl like her. He was a good bit taller too. (She wanted to be closer to the moon as well.)

"Did the moon call to you?" He looked from her to the moon and she followed his eyes.

"I..." She started. Could that be why she was here? Her head told her no, but her heart said yes. "I feel like it has, but I was here for another purpose first. But for some reason, I don't recall." She looked at him again. He came closer. The grass didn't shutter or shriek from his touch and he made no sound.

"The moon called to me. The moon told me you would be here." His ominous words scared and intrigued her. He put a hand to her face. His scent filled her nostrils and she lost the use of her limbs. Then she was in his arms. She struggled to look at his face. The last thing she noticed were his eyes. A sharp blue with silver streaks.


(This is the beginning of a new story, of a new relationship between two people falling in love under the moon. Soulmates kind of thing.)

WEEK 3: Day 003: Peace of Mind

Getting a comfortable feeling,
wasn't so quite appealing,
when the man with the hat,
walked through her door.

He said, "Miss, Might I ask,
if I could ask, could I borrow
a shoe or maybe two?"

"A shoe?! What might a man,
a man quite like you,
want a shoe or maybe two?!"

"Oh, Miss! Must you know?
Must I tell you so?
I need a shoe, or two,
for my little starling!"

Feeling quite frazzled,
she found him a shoe
actually two,
he was quite ecstatic.

He paid the two,
and went woo
and she fell to her knees
and said, "Oh silly me."

Thanks!! ^_^

WEEK 1: Day 005: Speed

The horse walked quite slowly. He knew his day as champion was over. Time was against him now. A young human girl walked up to him. "I want this one." She smiled and held out her hand to sniff. So he sniffed. She didn't smell dangerous and had a sweet smell. She looked to an older man, "Daddy, I want him. You promised."

The man looked him over. "He looks like a good horse. I'll go talk to the keeper about getting him for you."

She giggled. I'm Aris. What might your name be? I guess I'll call you Luke for now." He nuzzled her arm, To show his approval.

Two days after Aris had taking him home, she decided to finally ride him, or her father finally allowed her to. "We'll warm up first, then see how fast we can go!" She told him excitedly.

Months went by and then they ran. He flew as fast as he could go, as they could go. Aris had worked him up to this point, he didn't feel his old leg wound thanks to her. He was made to run and Aris had helped him fly.

WEEK 1: Day 007: Gilding a Lily

The girl was forced into a green dress, the color of her eyes, and to wear a lot of makeup. She didn't want it, but her father wanted her looking "appropriate" for the occasion. This would normally be fine, but the dress was too much. It had gold and silver thread intertwined in intricate patterns and there was lace everywhere. She didn't like wearing so much makeup, she didn't think she needed it. But this was her father she was talking about. Not even the most beautiful flower could go untouched. She hated it.

She suffered through the nights activities. Being presented, first of course. She would walk down the huge stairway and everyone would gasp at her. They wouldn't take their eyes off of her for at least ten minutes. Then there would be a meal and then a dance.

When she could finally escape, she just went out to the lit garden. There was a couple with their hands and lips all over each other, a most inappropriate show. She continued on to the large fountain. There was no one around safe the clear blue water and the embellished roses.

She looked at herself in the water. The only thing not completely over done was her mother's necklace. She had died four years ago. That's when her father became obsessed with beauty. A tear rippled the face of the water. She looked away. A lady should never cry for she would ruin her lovely face. She sat on the side edge of the fountain, with her hands over her face.

She wouldn't go back to the party. Her father would be extremely disappointed in her for ruining her "absolute perfect" look. If having a husband meant dressing up like this all the time, she didn't want it.

"Why so sad, pretty lady?" a male voice asked from behind. She jumped away from it, wiping her face on her dress. Oh well. He wasn't human. Surprise there. With the way she looked, she would attract every rotten man for miles, demons and other monsters included. This man though was just standing in the water. He wore odd clothing, but at least, he looked human. It could have been a troll or a Merman wishing to drag her to her death.

"I weep for my pitiful life. I cannot stand where my live is dragging me and I cannot dream of even thinking to stop it. My poor father would not only disown me, he would probably die in sadness. The only joy in life he gets is beautiful things and me one day being married." She told him.

"That doesn't seem too awful. Do you not want to be married?" He said with a frown and sat on the edge of the fountain.

She walked over and sat a little ways away. "It's not that I don't want to be married, but with me dressed like this, I'm sure to marry someone quite horrible."

"I see." He looked at the sky. "I understand how you feel. My mother is doing exactly the same thing. Sort of." He looked at her. "I am a demon, though you probably didn't want to hear that."

"I actually figured. You don't seem so bad though." She looked at her hands as she spoke.

"You see, my mother wants me to marry another demon, but I don't want to. I want to marry a human. She doesn't listen to me though."

She giggled. She just had the most ludicrous idea.

"Do you think that's funny?" He said a bit irritated, but sightly relieved.

"No. I just had a thought." She looked at him. "Why don't you marry me? You get your human wife and I get to chose my husband."

"I thought you didn't want to marry a monster," He questioned.

"I don't really care if you are, you seem nice enough."

"What if I'm only talking to you to get your blood or flesh? Monsters do do that."

"Your a demon. Not a monster. And besides, anything has to be better than this," sadness creeped into her voice.

He laughed. It was menacing, but not as terrifying as she thought a demon laugh could be. There were screams coming from near the mansion.

She laughed at it. They must be terrified at it. She met the demon's eyes. They glowed silver, taking her breath away. "I don't know your name."

"It's Ryu, Silvia."

"How...?" She gasped.

"This isn't the first time I've come here. I've just never said anything until now." He stood and walked towards her. He pulled her to her feet and looked her in the eyes, putting his hands on her face. "Silvia, will you marry me?"

"I will! But first, you must ask my father for my hand."

"As you wish. I shall be quick about this." He stepped out of the water, His outfit changing into appropriate ball attire. "Let's go!" He hurrahed and pulled her hand.

This was sure to be interesting, she thought.

WEEK 2: Day: 009: Orchards

I wandered aimlessly through the apple orchards. The sky was blue and the tree was green. Unfortunately. None of the apple trees had sprouted blooms. There would be no apples this year and I would lose my farm.

WEEK 2: Day 011: Guardian Angels

White light sparked over the sky and fell right in front of me. A tall beauty stood there. Long white hair curled over her shoulders and she held a staff in one hand. She also had one important detail: She had wings.

She smiled. "Tiron?"

I nodded, hoping that she wasn't a demon here to eat my soul.

"Hello!" Her arms suddenly around me, "I'm your guardian angel, Silvia! Nice to meet you!"

At least she wouldn't eat me. "Why do you show yourself to me now? Aren't guardian angels supposed to stay be with a person forever? Where were you when I needed you the most?" I was angry at this shining lady. Where had she been when I got kidnapped?

She let go of me. "I couldn't come any sooner. I was trapped in a-," she winced," for a very long time." She sighed. "I know I have failed you, but I'm here now. Let me help you. Let me start by giving you your belated blessings."

Her staff glowed and created a blue ball and it went inside me. I felt warmth for the first time. The earth was suddenly beautiful, to my embarrassment. "What did you do to me?"

"The first blessing. The blessing of life." I will give you the others gradually, because you would be too overwhelmed now if I did."

I guess that makes sense. I felt weak from acknowledging the blessing. Maybe my luck had finally turned.
