Welcome to Gaia! ::

Luke had heard of the legend of the mystic well, and as he started to roam through the snowy land, he could slowly recall how the legend went. Three master archers were pit against one master samurai, the outcome was the samurai's victory, and for some unknown reason he destroyed the well. "He was here...A long time ago." Luke mumbled to himself, and reached the end of the forest. At the horizon he saw the tall tower, and the remains of a broken well at the center of the tower. He was standing a good ways away from the tower, but because of his superb eyesight Luke could easily see the ruined well. Unlike most people who have visited the well, Luke wasn't looking to make a wish, no, he was looking for traces of the legendary samurai.

Kego walked for at least 2 minutes before he reached the well.Kego jumped up on top of the well.As kego walked closer he saw that it was pitch black and was riped in half with cracks.Kego looked down to see it went down for at least 1 mile.Kego climbed down the well no knowing what he would find.

Kego looked at luke for a second but then looked at the well.'My i make a wish" asked kego.The well did nothing but then the black liquid shot up at kego and grabed him.Then more of the liquid raised up and formed into waht looked like a man.

"G-get away from that!" Luke shouted at Kego, and drew his sword simultaneously. The samurai gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, and slowly advanced towards the sinister demon that was brewing in the underground cave. Was this the same demon that lived in the well of the legend? Would this demon really grant them a wish? By the way it's acted so far it didn't seem likely it was here to grant them any wishes.

"Both you samurai are strong...What do you wish for?" the voice seemed to appear out of nowhere, as the giant monster took a step forward. The monster was giving off a deadly black glow, and it would drip puddles as it spoke.

"We're not fools, demon!" Luke shouted at the monster, "I know of your wishes! You grant us our wish, but in return we have to give you our bodies!" he gritted his teeth, and took a step closer to the monster. "Don't fall for his trap, we should just kill it." the samurai spoke to Kego.

"We'll defeat it together!" Luke nodded sternly at Kego, and readied himself. He brought his katana down, and dashed towards the large black monster, once he got close enough to it he jumped into the air, and made a clean slash across the monster's neck. Luke rolled on the ground to soften his fall, but when he looked up at the monster, he saw he had done no damage at all to the demon. "His body is like liquid...Cutting it won't do anything." he mumbled under his breath, and started to scan the monster as if trying to find some kind of weakness.

'Looks like where done here" said kego as he put his sword away.

The well is nothing anymore. Naught but cracked stone, and an endless pit.

No....there is someone...

A thick, watery form, grasped the edge of the well with one ill formed hand, like fungus. With a faint splash, it fell upon the stones of the tower. It shifted and formed, like liquid clay, clear blue and shifting. But slowly, a form appears. Proper hands and feet. A slim waist. Delicate shoulders. And finally a head, hair flushing out into a soft, dark mess on her hair. A woman. It must have been a woman.

But she didn't seem so sure. She looked at her hands. Her body was clothed....or rather, had taken the memory of being clothed. Memory...yes. That was important.

She thought back. Foggy visions swarmed her head. A woman falling down a dark hole. A small child leaning over to drop a flower to her. Another human...a broad man with a crown, shouting down at her. And darkness...oh the darkness! It slipped over her vision like a thousand snakes, dragging her down, tying her away. She almost felt it.

Dark wishes. Wretched wishes. Slave to the well.

And...that light. Had it always been there? Crashing down and freedom! Freedom! After so many decades of darkness, of abuse, of her fate being crushed by the cruel wishes of demons! A fierce purge...the beasts were long gone. And now, after a long, patient climb. There was only her.

"Chiyoshi." she said aloud, as if testing the word on her tongue. Yes...Thousand Wishes. It is appropriate. She looked up to the sky, the snow coming down in a light patter. She raised her hands in a prayer, looking to an unseen deity.

"Oh Jin," she murmured, "God to wishing wells, to genies, to dreams! Bless you for bringing him into my life. Bless you for my freedom! I will find him..."

She left the tower. She faced the sea. And as a ship came, she uttered her solemn oath.

"Your wish is my command...Master Jack!"
