Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Iris reached the second floor she walked down the hall and entered what was, once upon a time, a second library but she decided to make another room on the second floor the second library and made this room the Gallery since it was a bit bigger then the room where the library was now "right" she said as she walked in moments later, paintings on the floor and some hanging on the walls, each as detailed and as beautifully drawn as the next.

Lore looked around the gorgeous room, was there anything in this house that wasn't so beautifully made? Lore made his way over to a few paintings on one side of the room and looked them over "Iris, these paintings are beautiful" he said looking at one painting, a Gothic castle.

"Thank you" she said as she gestured to others "I guess, to make things easier" she said to them "just give me an era, might be easier that way" she said to them.

"Dark ages would be fun" Lore said, agreeing with the vampire "though i AM still related to Shadow and Raven so I guess, ya know, of course i would like that era" he said a little sheepishly, he was his mothers son when it came to some things and liking the Dark Ages for its torture devices and what not was just part of why he wanted to go there, he was interested in the other things but yes, he has a little bit of a dark side to.

"Then I guess the Dark ages it is" she said as she looked around her room and found a painting of a beautiful old cathedral standing in the middle of a town with people hanging around the markets and what not "alright, so we will be entering this one" she said as she placed it against the wall "Lore, the potions please."

Lore nodded "sure" he said as he pulled out a red and green potion bottle, placing the green on the floor beside him and three blue cups with three yellow cups with the names of the three ponys on them so they didn't get mixed up with who was whos "right, Eternity said only a mouthful would be plenty" he said as he put the cups out and poured about a mouthful into each and handed them to the others "it may taste a tad foul but hey, thats magic potions for you, they aren't meant to be milkshakes." Lore said as he picked up his cup "bottoms up" he said as he drank his in one go and put the cup on the ground only seconds before he instantly shrank down and turned into a plushie.

Iris picked Lore up and looked him over "aww, Cal, he is adorable!" She said as she showed her Lore "he's pocket sized!" She said as she looked him over again before walking over and picked up her bag, placing it over her shoulder and picked up the other potion and the other cups and placed them in her bag, along with Lore "right, good luck you two" she said, sitting down to wait for them.

"Wait, how am I...meh, screw the cups I will have to tip it on them" she said to herself as she sighed, this wasn't exactly well thought out or at least she didn't get instruction on how to turn them back, oh well, she will have to sort it out when she gets into the painting "right, come on you two" she said as she also put the other two plushies into the bag and stuck her head through the painting, ending up in the busy market place. "Right, now where to change the others back into themselves" she said as she looked around for a place and found a spot behind a building and took the plushies out, spacing them out she took the potion out and looked the plushies and the potion over "now how are you lot meant to drink this?" She said out loud though in a whisper before she thought of an idea, uncorked the bottle and and tipped several drops onto Lore to see if that worked.

In a few seconds Lore turned back into his original size and shook his head "being a plushie isn't good on ones body" he said as he stretched.

"Well, at least you are back to the right size" she said as she tipped several drops onto the other two as well and waited, corking the bottle again as she did so and put it back into her bag "Lore, you are going to have to think of some other way of using this second potion, plushies cant drink."

"Yeaaah, never did think that through, oh well, at least dropping it on the plushies worked" he said as he looked around the place, looking at the people going on their way, doing what they had, this place was amazing!

"Welcome to my life" Iris said smiling at them all "and er...missing a few pieces?" Iris asked curiously, looking at Ambrosius.

"I...I can't believe this world actually exists, HOW can it exist?" Lore asked, still amazed by it all "how can you do this? It is mind blowing" he said as he walked over to a fruit stand and stole an apple when the guys back was turned and walked back over to the others "this apple" he said mumbling a spell and cutting it into fours, eating his piece "are even real" he said swallowing as he looked at Iris "I am not going to get sick from eating paper or something am I?" He asked, it was too late to worry about it now but still.

Iris shook her head "nope, this place is as real as what Dream Valley is, if I ate my full here I would still be full in Dream Valley when I exit this world I can't really say how this works, I just can do it, been able to since I was a baby, though needless to say, entering badly drawn stick pictures weren't that fun" she said giggling a little. "Anyway, my mother, whos side this comes from, couldn't do it, no one on her side could, we thought it had been lost through the many years but I got it after a seventy five generations, I don't know if my children will get it, now that the times are different, but I guess we will just have to wait and see" she said as she put everything back into her bag.

"Wow, it really is a rare talent" he said as he looked at the others, deciding this conversation could wait, they had more fun things to do "so guys, what do you want to do first?" He asked as he looked at Iris "any idea?"

Iris shook her head "nope" she said with a wink "I think I will let you guys sort this out" she said, knowing what this world was like but since they were new, they could suss it out for themselves.

"Money...money..." Iris said thinking for a few moments before remembering she did open up a savings account here...well, not really a 'savings account' just a place to keep whatever money she had "I will be right back" she said, having only entered the church once before and that was to talk to the father about him keeping some money for her after winning a rather nice large sum from a bet here, if you couldn't trust a priest then who could you trust? Of course she also promised to donate two hundred gold pieces to the church but still, she had money thanks to a rather rich nobleman that lost a bet to her.

"Wonder where shes going" Lore said as she arrived back moments later with five rather large purses filled with silver, copper and gold pieces in each "here we go, a bag for each of us" she said as she placed them on the ground "Lore, can you do magic here? I mean, like conjure up bags or something?" She asked, not sure if this world limited his powers or not.

"I can try" he said as he thought of aspell, using it and making another three bags appear "wow, it worked, I thought it wouldn't, guess whatever magic you have to create these worlds doesn't limit mine, makes me curious now if somehow my magical realm and your powers are some how connected" he said curiously before shaking his head "far fetched idea but whatever will do something about it later, right now, take a bag, a purse of coins and lets shop" he said as he picked up his bag of coins and put it into his bag.

"I...I doubt it could be possible, Lore, I am descended from a long line of gypsies, their 'magic' wasn't really magic, I can't see how your world and mine would be connected though there may be another explination for sure" she said, curious now how this works before shaking her head to clear it "anyway, I guess it is time for us to shop" she said as she picked up her purse of coins and put it into her bag. "Though, may I suggest not going mad with the money? I know this market will probably take copper and silver at most with the odd thing being a piece of gold or two but still, we best be careful with what we buy, thats all, we don't want to waste it" she said, knowing she could get some more but still, as she was a little lazy she didn't want to get several miles away from the church and have to walk back here and get more.

Iris nodded "sure, thank you, Ambrosius" she said as she took it off and handed it to him and looked around, not knowing where to start first, this market was huge.

Lore looked over at Calla, deciding tofollow suit, a tad preoccupied on everything else but Calla which was bad but he was a curious guy, this place was just amazing "would you like me to carry yours?" Lore asked Calla as he placed her purse into one of the bags.

"Oh no, I think you are rather capable of spending that on your own, unless you want to have me help spend it with you" Lore said smiling at the other as he placed Calla's bag over his other shoulder.

"Then I guess it is best we start shopping then" she said as she looked around, noticing a jewelery table near by and decided to have a look.
