Welcome to Gaia! ::

The kitsune girl nodded slightly at Arietta. "Yeah..but..I just don't know how I did it..otherwise I would've helped myself instead of slinking along the street..Hah.." 'And...she could've saved Kenneth too..Dammit...and the others..but...even though it sounded terrible, she was glad they were gone. For all the pain they've caused her since she could stand, they beat her, made her do all the work herself, even clean her own room, and they only fed her rock hard bread and cheese. And some water of course, assuming she had magical pwoers which could what? Transform food, clean rooms, etc. How stupid WAS THAT?! Even though it'd would've been quite enjoyable.. Then Asch tried to speak again. Aura panicked somewhat. "No. No. Shh." She mrumured, softly, calmingly. "Don't speak yet.. Save your breath, until you can breathe properly, I..I don't think this..is..quite..done.." The healing continued, before the wound closed up. Of course, this being her first time healing someone, it took a bit out of herself..and..even though he wasn't bleeding, it'd stil be sore there for a while. "Don't hit yourself in the area or anything..It might open up again.." She stated, tilting her head somewhat. "..'Kay Nii-chan?" She grinned a bit. Calling him 'Older brother' was kinda funny to her. But anyone who was older she called 'Senpai' or 'Sama' or whatever..

"Yay! A-okay I guess." Aura stated, rubbing her neck nervously. "Hmm.." Now what could she do? Not many people knew about Vendela, that tiny isolated Island somewhere..near Daath I guess..somewhere..No ships would be anywhere near there though.. how they got their resources, and that whole forest of fruit trees surrounding the village of Alaroth though, was..unknown to her. It was possible the destruction of Hod somewhere in the past broke a piece of the Kimlasca or Malkuth off or something, and maybe that village was already there, just..hidden..in the trees..and..yeah. Hard to explain..harder to find a way to get back..and even if she DID get back what could she do? She couldn't run a dang farm.. Anyways the animals were all dead there too. So..technically she had no reason to go back..but...She had no where else to go..

((Hokay, starting off with Luke stomping through the Cheagle Woods, I guess.))

A short ways into the Cheagle Woods, Luke stopped to survey the area. Just his luck, he'd lost sight of that stupid cheagle. He was still mad at being called a thief. Okay, sure, he hadn't bothered to study as much as he should have, and there were a lot of things about the world he didn't know.. but what did they expect, after he'd been locked away in his OWN HOME for as long as he could remember?! Sure, the green-haired kid had found that cheagle hair that got Luke off the hook, but he knew the townspeople still didn't believe him. That's why he was gonna track the things down and PROVE it.

"Dammit, where'd that thing go!?" he shouted, irritated.

--------


Guy set out from Baticul with the small travelling allowance the Duke had given him, in search of Luke. Nobody'd seen him in Baticul, so Chesedonia was the next logical place to look. If that didn't work, he'd make his way to Grand Chokmah and try there.

||You're moving on without everyone else and not telling them What the heck's happening! Dx Ah well. TEAR IS IN!||

"HOMIEEFIN'GOSH!!! WTF IS THAT?!" Aura suddenly wailed, falling right onto her behind. She stared wide eyed at the strange creature. Well..apparently she never left Alaroth and all so....She had training in combat, even though her stupid, heartless 'parents' didn't want her too. "You're a princess!" They say. If so, then why treat her like a slave, and beat her whenever something went wrong, like some artifact she'd never seen before, broke and she was on the otherside of the gosh durned castle! She hadn't ever seen a monster.. Well except her parents. She stopped freaking out momentarily, noticing Asch was -literally- being crushed by a flippin' boulder. "Meep..!" She exclaimed.. Well now, Aura wasn't super woman, but she had this strange defensive mechanism in her..that activated at random..then maybe she could learn how to control it. "U-Uwah!" Aura squealed, as the monster flew by her and suddenly she shot a minor blast of...hyperressonace? Anyways, it struck the stupid boulder, and you know what hyperressonance does to things. The boulder went BOOM! Aura was, apparently, a replica too.. Capable of hyperressonance..and she does have her little hallusinations.. as well, apparently.

"Yelling won't help." Tear stated calmly. "Why don't we just leave it alone..?" The fonist asked, tilting her head. "The poor thing was probably just hungry.."

||You CAN'T expect me to recite the EXACT wording..I can't remember it! -dies-||

((well... i would have, but you never answer my mail. ANSWER MY MAIL!! D:<<<<
* turns to shadomancer lord * HEY! I know you. o.o ))

Asch watched in suprise as the boulder was shot into peices. 'lucky' he thought, ' i could have well been killed by that boulder... ' He gasped, laying both his hands back on the floor, and the small, weak, bad-excuse-for-a-barrier had disappeared. He was so weak he couldn't help fight. Much less, protect himself. He hated that, having to depend on others for help. Because in the end he'd always end up alone.

Asch sat helplessly on the floor. Argueing with himself, he needed to help, the kid could get hurt. But, he was told to stay down. And rest, goddamn this bird....thing. It was makeing things so much more complicated. That was it, he was going to do something, whether it hurt him more or not. He slowelt pulled himself to his feet. Stareing angrily at the monster charging a stalagmite spell in one hand. The monster had charged toward Aura again. " DAMN! " Asch blurted out, running to aura, and shoveing her out of the way, and blasting the bird with stalagmite all at once. The monster,him, and the spell all collided, and Asch finally rolled across the floor until he stopped. He didnt move at all. But the monster was dead. Its neck removed its head from the body, there was a long slice in its neck.

Asch opened his eyes slowely regaining vision, "Yeah... " He whispered, " I-I'm Fine.... Are you?... " He was lying. There was a long slice from his shoulder to his stumach, bleeding rapidly. It was just barely noticeable with his black and red clothes.

Asch let out a weak laugh, " That was....pretty close. " He turned his head to aura. who looked deep in thought, yet at the same time, upset. " Hey. " He said, struggleing to sit up, blood soaking his clothes, " Are you sure you're alright?"
