Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was a bird perched onto a tree overlooking the others. Tide smirked in his castle in a different town far away. The closest town to Harganoph. He was looking at the window and smirked. "So, Skylar called the selected did he? No point in attacking now. They're still too weak and it'll be too easy." Looking into his eyes, they were filled with a black aura. He was spying on them with his bird's eyes. "Oh Skylar, you're so predictable. I can't wait to crush you and your beloved dream world."

the barmaid wound through the crowd of people, taking a while to get over to him because of the other patrons waylaying her and trying to hit on her. when she finally got over to her, she had a happy yet slightly digruntled smile. "hello sir. what would you like?" the cloaked man stopped leaning on the wall in his chair. "ale." was all that was hear and it was just loud enough for the barmaid to hear. she scsmpered away still being waylayed by others.

Irene sat not too far away in the bar. She was blending in with the crowd perfectly until she burst. "Where the hell is he?! He should have been here by now!"

Skylar gave a small laugh. "Hardly. You're still alive... And everything you see here is real." He fell silent for a few seconds, then pushed off of the tree and faced the town. He looked back. "Follow me."

ah, my employers here. his special hearing heard the yell of a woman. the same voice had called him to come to this town for some reason saying it would be worth his while. he had not seen her face, in fact, he had not been anywhere around him at the time. he stood up and slowly proceeded through the crowd until one very drunk man stumbled right in his way and wouldnt move. he tapped his shoulder saying "hey move." "why don ya mak me." before he started laughing. his breath smelled awfull. with only one hand, the black cloaked man grabbed the man by the shirt collar and threw him backward, sending him plowing through all the way to the wall. the thud shook the building and everybody turned to see what had happened. he just walked on to the bar and sat down next to the first woman he saw there. "why did you call me here?"

"well see were not to prode of it but we have ben stilling stuff from a near by village to live and now people are after us and i dont want to hurt them"

Skylar stopped walking and looked back at Zero. "I see." He then turned around and lowered his head a bit. "I'm sorry, but it seems we have to wait for two more. Then, I must have you all follow me... There is something very important that concerns you both and the others we now wait for." He smiled for the first time since they've seen him. "Hopefully, my sister won't be too upset about my delay."

Irene gave a small laugh. "There's more to this than that. What if I was to tell you that the fate of this entire world and all our existence as we know it fell on the hands of what you just bluntly called, 'riffraff' as well as yourself?"
