Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Beneath the magma lies many of our comerades. Perhaps we picked a bad place to put up a town." He recognised that his pendant had been swapped for a bottle of liquid and quickly took a long drink. Water?! Well beggars couldn't be choosers even in his rank. "Ah!" He attempted to stand with some success but was still very shaken and hunched over. "Father would be... dissapointed... to see me in such a state."

Seifer patted the creature he half sat upon. "Is this my steed? Interesting, I'd figure he'd abandon me..." He began to slip from his awkward position on the Military saddle. The horse shuffled it's back trying to restabilize it's master on the saddle, but tugging at the reins caused it a bit of discomfort. The horse began to struggle, grunting fire and throwing a few small bucks. Seifer held on, but hunched over laying down onto his nightmare.

He turned his head in the last direction of the voice. "Pray tell me your name, stranger in the darkness? And why help a sundered man like me?"

At that point in time he felt like part of him had already deceased. His very reason to exist and strive were brought into question none too long ago. "I see..." He sighed. He held his hand out to where it would appear he was inspecting it. He couldn't see it however. As he lay upon his horse he thought to himself speaking out loud. "McCoy... That name is vaguely familiar..." He scratched his head thinking on it further.

((Well whenever you want to get back to town. Seifer doesn't have a good sense of direction at the moment.))

Nadia emerged from a brilliant flash of arcane light finding herself in the air above an open chasm. She screamed in terror as gravity brought her falling toward a thick and bubbling liquid rock river below. Rapidly approaching the lava, she stopped screaming and drew her sword thrusting it into the stone wall nearby and anchoring herself into the wall. She took a deep breath and sighed in relief as she hung there. "Ugh, this air is tough." Using her strength she struggled to find some footholds and pulled her weapon out of the wall before climbing up to the top of the ravine.

Reaching the base of the mountain range nadia came across a sign pointing out various locations on connected paths. "Looks like this is fire territory... If those old farts were right, it may not be safe here now. I don't have much of a choice though, I was dropped here." She started down the path toward Flamma city.

As the incline increased, Seth's climbing efforts increased. First simple walking, then jumping to passable spots, then flying to the top. Reaching the crater's edge Seth dropped down and began to circle it. It was immensely hot but within the wavering hot air, she noticed some moving figures. They appeared to be spirits of flame and earth dancing and moving about near the center of the crater.

As her interest in the elementals faded, Seth scrounged about the ground for some relatively cool fallout. "Hopefully size doesn't matter." She pawed through the ash and cinder finding two small stones amongst the fragments of rock. They were warm, but not burning hot. Seth pocketed them and took another look around. It wasn't bright out but she managed to spot a shadow cast over her. Seth quickly turned around.

Seth immediately reached for her sword, drawing it and holding it at her side. She stared down the golem, getting a bit antsy. "I didn't expect to see you here. So he really did survive huh?" She pointed her sword at Obsidion briefly, "So where is he?" Seth readied an attack, she impatiently waited for the stone figure to react in some way.
