Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Mystina and Luana appear in, what appears to be a shack, except it's more open. This little hut, is green on the inside, because it is made from many types of a special vine being tied together.... in essense, the walls are still living, but, are roped so that they grow a certain way, to strengthen this structure. There is no bed in the room, only a stool*

Whew.... Back home finally... in a few hours someone will come to check on me, and attend to me, the father, is waiting outside of the hut, but being that there is a back entrance... they will just assume you are of another family. *She smiled at Luana* Right now we're in a birthing area, but, once the child is born I'll show you my home....

*Mystina smiled and waddled over to her* Well, partially. They grow in a certain way, we just take and use it to our advantage... First, we take and plant it, and use our magic to make it grow a bit faster than normal.... We tie them together and lace them together to make our homes, the plants are not damaged during it, and over the years the houses only grow stronger. *She smiled*

*Mystina smiled and shook her head, beginning to walk again* No thank you sweetie... I may not eat until afterwards, and, Sent, cannot be in here for this... It is my burden, normally I would bare it without any witnesses, but, I'm a tiny bit afraid and wanted someone in here... Men are not normally allowed in our birthing chambers, and only a human or a guest may be in when invited....

It shouldn't be too much longer now though, my little one is eager to meet the world. *She giggled as she waddled around the room* I may not feel pain during the contractions but I know when they are there... Just keep me company. *She giggled* That's all I need really...

*Mystina giggled* Well, I could explain to you what will happen, and, tell you of some of the things you'll see here, that do not exist in the human world anymore but still exist in Faerie. *She smiled* If you'd like...

*Mystina nodded* Some, but also some that you may consider a Myth...

Such as Unicorns. *She smiled a little* They exist here, just as we Fae do, whereas they are rarely seen in the human world anymore. We can see when something is going to become extinct and bring a male and female pair here.... That way they still live on, even if it's not in your world.

We also have Mermaid's here. There are some in your world, they choose to stay there, as do some Fae. *She smiled and hugged her, and continued walking around the room*

*Mystina nodded* Yes, we have them. They have a clan nearby here, there should actually be a few here, because we agreed to teach some of their young our ways. They may seem fierce in the legends, but the truth is, they are only so when they must be. When someone threatens them, then they are. *She smiled as she walked with Luana around the hut*

~~~~A few hours later....~~~~

*Mystina was sitting on the stool provided, because she couldn't walk easily anymore* Aahh.... I think it's time.

*Mystina smiled at Luana* actually, yes, I need you nearby a bit, in case I pass out afterwards....

Oooh... *She slid off the stool and got into a squatting position on the floor, sliding her hands between her legs as she pushed a little, feeling the child pushing through... She let nature do it's work, pushing with it, until the child was nearly out* Here she comes....
