Welcome to Gaia! ::

'Twas brillig, and the slithe toves
did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
and the mome raths outgrabe.

The Tulgy wood is a place of wonder and enchantment. All of your best dreams dwell here, as well as your worst nightmares.
Dark trees grow tall and close together, blotting out all light. fortunetly there are luminescent mushrooms and other un-nameable things that cast light so you can see where you are going. not that you'll know where you are going. the paths are hard to see, hard to follow, and never lead to the same place twice, often dissapearing as you're still following it. birds, bats, and other flying beasts flit to and fro form branch to branch under the canopy, and there is always the distant growl of some hungry monster.

Whether you come for curiosity or adventure, this place will not dissapoint you, so take your vorpal sword in hand, and enter the Tulgy wood. (beware of jabberwoks)

Micha runs trough the wood screaming at the top of her lungs. she runs east, then west, then south, where the spring and Darks character is, spashing through the water. the water turns bright orange in her wake and she keeps running. "the ants are after me!! same me from the ants!!" she cries to any nearby, specificly Dark. behind her are heard whuffs and chitters and squeeks. something large was coming and it didn't sound friendly.

*he notices Micha running by and hears the sounds behind her he jumps up to attention and draws his scythe and broad sword chanting a spell to clear the way, he see them approaching and finishes the chant releasing a huge wave of energy through the center of the forest, making everything quiet once more, he turns and looks at Micha* What was that exactly? I had no idea that anyone else was here? are you alright?

he looks for the girl that just ran by just now, he looks left then right, up high into the trees but can see nothing, he wonders where she went he trotted in the direction where she ran past and noticed a low hanging branch that she might have climbed up into the tree by and he thinks he see a faint image of someone but they look to him like they are heading north for something he jumps into the tree after them hoping that its here and he knows nothing about her or what those things were that he annihilated back there, but he continues after her

Dark continues jumping through the trees looking for her, then stops at a branch and call outs "Hey where did you go? its ok now they are gone" he starts to jump through the trees once more but all of a sudden the trees disappear so he is left hanging in mid-air, he looks down and syas to himself "damn this is really going to hurt" as he finishes the words he drops like a rock towards the ground its spiraling towards him then he notices someone sitting there eating mushrooms "hey its you" he calls out then he remembers that he's about to hit the ground, he tries to flap his wings but it does no good he's to close to the ground now and slams hard into the grassy clearing and it renders him of his consciousness

he laid there unconscious his dreams came back to him, damn horrible nitemares that they were, then the dreams suddenly stopped and he was falling down further and further down into some desolate darkness he looked around but seen nothing as he continued to fall, what was this cursed dream he was having it wasn't right for him to be tortured by such things, but damn it he was anyway and there wasn't really anything he could do about it, he continued to fall so he began to amuse himself, he crossed his legs and twiddled his thumbs then laid bakc as he continued to fall he wasn't really expecting to hit the ground anytime soon so, he started laughing at hisself not knowing why, but suddenly he looked down and seen the ground rushing to his face and broguth back his consciousness as he slammed into the ground waking up covered in mushrooms his head throbbing hard he screamed out, "God, damn that s**t hurts you know, geez my heads going to fall apart one of these damn days i tell you what" he laid back down to see if his head would stop hurting

he heard someone step into the cleairng he drew his sword and noticed that it was the girl, and sheathed the weapon and sat up. "yea i'm up, my head hurts, but yea, i'm alright." he watched as she ate the mushrooms "Hmmm lets see i was following you jumping through the trees when they disappeared and well....here i am." then he turned to look at her "Why are you here anyway?"

"yea i noticed those things and i took care of them" he said to her "i wondered into her after traveling i was tired and seen the little spring and decided to rest a bit then you came screaming by. i agree this is a weird place, thigns just disappear and things change quickly and there are growls around you at all times never knowing when something is going to leap out and grab you or something else." he stood there listening to the surroundings then spoke up again "My name is Dark_Minister, and you are?" he offers his hand out to her then notcies her shake "whats wrong with you?"
