Welcome to Gaia! ::

In this labyrinth of ice caves bodiless souls seek refuge from their former lives, between this world and the next choosing not to ascend and instead keeping hold of this world by force of will alone. Here one may go and once more meet a lost soul but beware not all souls in this place are pure and it has been known for souls to form together to create a much larger entity in a physical form. It is also rumoured that Hades has been seen here on more than one occasion along with at least one of the lesser entities that govern this world. None dare live near this network The only inhabitants are a small group of Guado monks that attempt to calm these souls and interact with the higher entities. Because of the shift in power the spirits have become very restless of late showing violent tendencies. The Guado try diligently to calm the restless spirits.

She ventured through, only hearing the loud moans and the occasanal click of ice, which warned her to move. The ghosts didn't mind that she was wandering through, she had no weapon, she was no harm. There was something strange about the pattern they flew in, aroung Naiyu, like a shield, or a barrier, that prevented her from doing anything too hasty.

the boat came to the side of the continent and you could see lots of ice in the water.

"look everyone, you can see the ice now"

the crew looked over and taras stopped to see. it was shining in the sun set. it was hard for taras to think he would soon leave this crew, he was thinking of asking them to let him stay, butt.....

suddenly the boat rocked from side to side. They hit something or even something had hit them from the side. A huge whale like monster jumped over the boat and bit a chunk out of the side, the crew ran about. Milly was scared on the floor as the man taras had found out to be her father ran into shield her.

“No more of this!”

Taras shouted as red smoke came from his body he ran to the water and jumped up pulling his club from his back.

“berserker!”

He saw the monster and its jaw opened up around him, his club came down and broke its teeth. Taras didn’t stop there, he just kept hitting into it battering it with his clubs effect. He looked like a crazy animal and all the crew saw. The monster sunk into the water and he landed on an iceberg. The crew looked disgusted at the boy. Then a big chunk of ice was heading for the boat, it would sink if it hit. Taras jumped in to the cold water not even feeling it in the state his body was in. he swam between the ice and the boat and it crushed him. Suddenly the iceberg and the boat started to move apart, it was taras pushing them apart. As they drifted away from each other taras got on the ice to drift to land with it. The crew looked at him like you would a savage animal. As he went saddened by their faces the small girl shouted out.

“thank you grey boy.”

She was they only one to say that and taras felt a bit better seeing them go.

the boy was just walking with out thought and the light started to get brighter. he smiled like he was just happy to be here. then a ball of light moved in front of his face and then away again. he didn't think any thing of it and just liked the light. Suddenly he realised and looked around, he was trapped in a dream state, just walking around for ever. "This must be Ninra house of lost souls. its
trying to trap me here, dam."

he looked to the ground his foot prints they where in front of him. a sound came from his right so he pursued it, at one point he got on all fours and jumped on the walls at the corners. the room got darker and there was writing on the walls, then suddenly he saw a strange looking person of in the distance.

"wait!"

taras looked up at the woman after coming to a stop, the ice made him slip over and he saw she wasn't human, but had fur and long ears.

"I am lost, how do you get out of here?"

his yellow eye looked up at her and he didn't stop looking at her even when he was getting up from the floor.

"Your not a spirit of this place are you?”

his voice was strong even though he was young and so he had no funny nature in what he just said.

She didn't seem evil at all so Taras desired to trust her and this place was tricky it could easily trap someone for ever.

"I am Taras... that’s all I have and I don't think we have met before, but like you say we may have. It seem like we are both very lost not only in this labyrinth. What was you name and may I ask what you are?"

Taras would have said more but he too knew nothing of his past, only of 6 days ago when he was in the desert continent. He looked down at her as water droplets hit the cold ground.

"Are you ok?"

He said peeking down at her face

"is something .....”

tara looked around it had gone silent not even the wind was blowing anymore, what was coming and why did it make taras so on edge. he pulled his stone club from his back and it smashed into the ice with its heavy weight, checking it some. he then bent down to the ice and put his tattered ear on the ground.

"there is no vibrations, not even from the wind."

he said this last bit quietly not to stir up anything.

suddenly a gust off wind from the long hall of ice came shooting through like a maelstrom. Taras gripped to the ground but still being pushed back by the wind because of the lack of grip on the ice floor.

"What is it, a monster?"

taras ran at the wind, a cloud of mist came in and he jumped at it with his club coming down. but he was thrown aside and over Naiyu's head hitting the ice and rolling to a stop.
