Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Sounds good!" Siirioc said. Then he began slowly spinning, dragging his giant wooden cross through the sand. Soon he used his telekinesis to accelerate until he was spinning like a twister, then released the cross which flew at the Servant. Siirioc, wasting no time, leaped into the air with unmatched alacrity, landing on the cross and grabbing onto it as they collided into a thick column of sand that formed right in front of his target. "Oooph!" he cried out as he was muffled by the grainy stuff.

As this happened, the hungry flames reached the Servant, and he panicked as the giant cross flew towards him, and defended himself from that and forsook the flames. He quickly regretted this action as they engulfed him, burning his tainted flesh. "AAAAAAAGGH! Demon magic! DEEEMONS! I will see to your deaths, little ones!" he said, whipping around desperately, then suffocating the flames by sinking into the sand. But the group didn't even have enough time to catch their breath before a plethora of arms burst from the sand, trying to grapple any nearby.

Siirioc recovered just in time to leap away from the hand as it engulfed the spot right where he was. "Ah! The cross!" he whimpered as it was swallowed. The arm raised strait into the air, re-forming into a hand, now clutching the cross, which it quickly swung at Rain, handling it as if it were a dagger.

Feeling useless as she watched Raine and Siirioc fight, Kampur did her best to keep out of the way; both of the sand like hands and the two natives. Seeing that things seemed to keep getting worse, Kampur felt like she was left with little other choice. Using Siiriooc's sword, she channeled her energy into the ground, hoping it wouldn't turn into a massive volcano. A white aura surrounded her, followed by a bright flash of light. Theire surroundings had changed, possibly for the better. Anything that had once been sand had fused together and turned into glass. The dunes, the arms, even any sand that had gotten into their clothing or bags was now smooth, clear glass.

Kampur let out a sigh-rejoiced she hadn't killed anyone-before falling down onto the glass; completely exhausted but concious.

"Well..." Kampur winced as Siirioc practicly screamed his questions-or so it seemed to her. "It's kinda hard to explain..." she paused again, hoping maybe his questions were rhetorical. "It should disappear soon." she said, pointing to the sheet of glass they all stood on hoping that it would be good news. Already the tops of the dunes had slowly begun to turn back into sand; a few grains at a time. "Where are we going to go?" she asked as she forced herself to stand up, her weakened body struggling to support her.

"Apparently. I'm not very familiar with Servants of the Sand. I just know they manipulate the environment...and are usually hostile..." Siirioc responded. He marched on, doing his best to ignore the sand around him. Sand all around him, Siirioc mumbled angrily. "What is Deinoforaum like, anyway?" Siirioc asked, trying to keep his mind off the long walk.

Kampur pulled the blade out of the glass and followed Raine and Siirioc, slowly regaining the energy she had lost earlier. As Raine answered Siirioc's question about Deinoforaum, her mind began to wonder back to her own home. It felt like she hadn't been there for ages. It was probably true. As the city came into sight, a chill ran up and down Kampur's spine. Aside from the sand being blown about, everything was still, quiet...dead. SHe walked up to Raine and put her hand on his shoulder. She didn't know how the relationships in families were on this planet, but it seemed to be quite strong.

((Sorry about being dead lately. sweatdrop I'll have a character ready by Monday (at latest) to join in as.))

(( I meant I'd have a complete profile by Monday not that I'd be away until Monday. heart *hugs back* ))
