Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Sirence's hands tightened around Trent's shoulders for a moment, his fingers digging in deep before they let go. Sirence cursed under his breath before his body collapsed. It had taken a few moments for Raedra to actually enter Sirence's mind, but once she was there, she moved swiftly and painfully and there was nothing Sirence could do but let go. If he clung to consciousness she would tear the ties, where as if he let them go he could pick them up again, just like falling sleep. There was something inside his head that didn't belong there, and it wasn't Raedra, something was holding ties where they didn't belong... those would soon be gone, thanks to the dragon queen. Sirence relaxed, letting the coolness sweep over him, may it be sleep or death, he accepted it as it was and all the energy outside of his body which he had manifested was gone.*

*All at once, Contay tripped and collided with something unseen, small and... white? Contay tried opening her eyes but it did no good, the creature he had stumbled over as the source of the lynshade, it was the lynshade. What baffled her most, having never dealt with a lynshade personally was that it felt white.
How does something feel white? She asked herself as she reached for the creature with her hand. Contay's finger had barely grazed the core of the lynshade before there was an answer in her mind, one without words or explanation, just an understanding.
Contay smiled to herself and lifted the frightened core into her arms, she had only think and intend on the comforting things and the lynnshade heard her, better even it understood her.
The height of the lynshade lessoned and the sides slowly returned to the center, the huge wall gradually becoming smaller.
For a long moment, Contay was lost in conversation, it was nice to finally have someone-thing that truly understood her. No. She had to focus!
I must leave you... the lynshade disagreed, changed shape and wrap around her arm. Contay felt an ache in her chest.
I will see you again... she lied and the core knew but shortly after the small creature grew larger and ran from her as though she had injured it in some way.
Momentary panic flew over her as she realized the hall she sat in had shrank and that the whole of the lynshade must be falling. Let me go... she begged and she scrambled blindly back the way she had come, every inch of space getting smaller by the second.
And then, suddenly Contay flung herself forward one last time and it was her shoulder which hit the dirt first, hard and cold before the smooth grass.
She had no time to enjoy her freedom, she had to pray things had gone well and that too much time had not passed since she left the young girl she knew to be unharmed.
Contay stood and gazed off in the direction of the battle which had apparently... ended? She bolted for the bodies as the last of the lynshade shrank into nothingness*

*Karin hadn't realized that the collar had loosened, she had been to scared for her brother's life, but now that everything had ended, and that the large man with the red hair was holding the little girl in his arms, with what she could only guess to be passionate relief, she jumped up and ran to her brother.* "Trent! Don't die!" *She knelt beside him, and lifted his head off the ground.* "You're not allowed to die! What about Raedra? She'll be mad with you..."

*Karin wanted to smack him, and at the same time hug him harder than she ever had before.* "Your a jerk... how could you scare me like that!? I mean, what did you two do to him?! I thought you had died when you fell to the ground like that." *She propped him up against one of the larger rocks nearby.* "It's okay for the big guy with the red hair to have that little girl right?"

"Alright then, as long as everything is okay now." *Karin hopped up on the rock Trent was laying against and sat there, starring into the sky.*

Justice let an exasperated sigh escape her lips as she stared up from the bottom of the mountain. "It's been awhile since I've been here... I forgot how big it was up close... they could be anywhere" she growled, frustration eating at her. She closed her eyes, trying to sense something, but she couldn't seem to find what she was looking for.

However, when Justice was just about to give up and go back in the direction she came, she felt a series of energy spikes that were clearly from Dameon and others she knew. She smirked and followed the trail, reaching the group soon after Tiki. She looked around, slightly disappointed. "Did I miss it?" She asked, taking in everyone who was there.

Justice glanced over at Karin with somewhat of a glazed look. "Justice." She told her. "Not the long-armed form, I'm afraid." She informed her.

Justice shrugged, not seeming to receive the news badly. She looked up at the sky for a moment before looking back over at Dameon. "I guess it's been awhile, though..." She said, thoughtfully.
