Welcome to Gaia! ::

Introduction: You are walking in a field, letting your finger tips brush the petals of the blooming flowers. You are mesmerized by the soft humming of the song birds and insects of late summer. All of a sudden, you feel a tree root beneath your feet and you look up into the dark branches of a birchwood tree. Its branches are hanging low, like skeletal arms and hands. You notice that there are no birds or insects in this tree. It seems to emit a foreboding presence. You look along its thick trunk and see a strange symbol carved into the middle of the trunk. It looks like a roughly carved circle with a star carved in the middle. You touch the symbol curiously. Suddenly, the ground beneath the symbol moves and reveals a tunnel. You stare at it, then cautiously begin to walk down the tunnel. As you walk, you notice it gets fairly cooler and you see strange symbols carved along the ceiling and walls. Abruptly, the tunnel ends inside a cavern that is glowing faintly from glowing lights all over the ceiling. You see a great marble bridge leading to a field quite like the one you left up above, but this field has fluttering beings all around it and strange flowers. You take a step onto the bridge and let out a cry of surprise mingled with fear as a creature you thought only to be a legend swoops down from an unseen perch. A creature with the body of a golden furred lion and the head of a beautiful woman whose eyes hold wisdom beyond her seeming age. The beautiful Sphinx opens her soft pink lips and a simple question comes out. "Do you wish to hear my riddle and pass to Haven, dear traveller?"









Ever since ancient times, people have told stories about creatures that are unlike us and have amazing powers. Some of these creatures are horrible and hostile, but most have some good in them. Some think these beings are stuff of myth and legend. Others believe they exist. They do. They exist in a world separate from our own. They come to this land to learn about their origins and their powers, to be among their own. The world they come to is called Haven. Few humans have ever seen it. Only those humans with powers to see mythical beings as they truly are can cross the great marble stone bridge to Haven, pass by the Sphinx Guardian and be among the world of Myth. But, all is not well in Haven. An ancient, terrible Lord is arising from the grave the Ancient Guardians put into. All who wish to keep him in his tomb must fight his followers. Are you a human with strange powers? Or are you a creature of Myth?

Tyline walked through the welcoming meadow of Haven, smiling fondly at the badger that trotted along beside her. "You know, Crunch, I haven't seen a lot the other inhabintants of this world lately. I wonder if they've all moved on to different areas besides this meadow and the forest." She said, brushing her dark hair from her face, her highlight's current color being a relaxed blue. She looked toward the wide, ivy covered bridge entrance on the far side of the meadow. "I wonder is the Sphinx is as bored as I am."

Tyline paused, looking at the forest curiously. She had the ominous feeling that she was being watched. She gripped the black bladed katana strapped to her back. "Crunch, leave. Go back to your burrow." She hissed, not taking her eyes off forest. Crunch growled, but obediantly lumbered away.

Tyline whipped around, throwing a knife that was concealed in her kimono sleeve at the diving person. "Crunch! Run!" She snapped, dashing towards the person and placing herself between the badger and the person.

I won't let you kill my friend!" Tyline snapped, throwing more concealed daggers at him. She glanced behind her and saw that the badger had left to its burrow. She grinned and stuck her tongue out at Koino. "Ha! He left! In your face!"

Tyline rolled her eyes and unsheathed her katana. "Yeah, I'd like to see you try to kill me, Flashy Boy." She snapped, grinning and dodging out of his reach. "What are you gonna do, dazzle me with your lights display til I die?" She said sarcastically. (like my new siggy?))

Tyline blocked his sword, but was stunned when the orb hit her. She yelped in pain and sank to the ground. "What...the hell...was that?" She breathed, trying to focus her eyesight.
