Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aurora starts laugh as she sorts through some of the clothes in the bins. A lot of them were nice, but there wasn't anything there that had caught her eye. Finally towards the bottom she found a cool blue shirt that were a little frilly, but not too girly either. As she dug in further, she grabbed a couple dark blue & black shorts to try on. "I'll be back in a second."

The Captain caught up to Blaze not long after she had started looking for deals. She pointed them into the direction of the food stalls and told them she wanted to look around at the booths before having to help carry things back. The Captain said she needn't worry about the stores and that the men could carry the things. Go have some fun and relax a little Miss Blaze. You need it. Blaze just nodded a reply and wondered off into the crowd.

She soon came across a curious little shop tucked away in an alley. Dragons Nest was carved into the door. Blaze opened the door and a warm burst of air hit her in the face. It felt so nice that she came in and closed the door quickly so that the cold wouldn't creep in. She stood for a moment as her eyes adjusted. Smells of cooking meats made her mouth water instantly. The first thing that came into focus was a beautiful light green colored egg. She was hypnotized instantly because in was as large as a football and looked as if it were made of finely polished gem stone. She started at it for the longest time before it began to move. Slowly at first, side to side, and then fast. She heard a fait chirping sound that grew louder as the egg rocked faster. Her face drew closer, her curiosity keeping her entranced by the small rock when all the sudden a small hole and a long crack cutting around the top of the rock appeared. Blaze reached out slowly and took off the top of the egg. A long small neck with a small dragon like head looked up at her from its curled up position in the egg. Its body was a light red pink color, the kind of soft red you see in the sunset. The eyes were a deep crimson color and stared up at her lovingly. Hello The small girl voice said as the creature stretched its wings and tail and then gave a yawn. Hello Blaze replied. She hated the color red in any form but couldn�t pull her eyes away from the adorable little creature.

NO!! Now you have to buy the little thing. The first person they see once they hatch, their attached to! Blaze smiled and gave the man the money. A dragon just for me. She picked the little on up gingerly and placed the little dragon one her shoulder. It wrapped its tail around her neck and rubbed its face against her cheek. Blaze bought some food before she left and then began to head back to the ship. Well little one, seems we're stuck with each other. Do you have a name? Mine is Danielle, but you can only call me that when we are alone or with the other members of POL ok? My name is Ruby. And who is POL? And what should I call you the rest of the time? Call me Blaze, Ruby. And POL I'll explain on the way to the ship cause it is a long story.

Little Ruby had long sense curled up on Blaze's bed and fallen to sleep when Blaze had decide to go out and look for the others. She had gotten restless sitting on the ship like she had for the past month when there was a whole island to explore. So she grabbed some food, her weapons, and a canteen filled with water.

Into the sun she walked with a smile on her face and thoughts of a nice climb buzzing around in her head when she saw Amaya wondering off with a dazed look on her face. She soon spotted Aurora fallowing after and called out for them to wait.Aurora made a motion with her hands to silence her. Blaze was curious about the whole thing. Blaze followed the two as they made their way up the back the mountain. At first it seemed fine, but as they drew nearer the top, fear began to creep into Blaze heart and her stomach began to knot. “She can’t be heading for….She is!” The realization hit Blaze in an instant and she wanted to run, but couldn’t leave the two. They were heading straight for that strange cave on the far side of the mountain.

"Hmm?" Hearing her name she finally snaps out of her trance-like state and blinks a few times. The last thing Amaya remembers doing was looking at some jewelry in the store. In disbelief and confusion she looks around then turns to face Aurora, "What happened? How did I get here?" Clutched in her hand was something she didn't remember having in her possesion before: an amethyst pendant secured to a gold chain. She stares at the trinket in her hand. Looking back up she ponders the meaning of this.

Thinking for a few moments before replying, Amaya lightly shakes her head,"No, not really. The last thing I remember was being in the jewelery store. I was looking around while you were speaking with the shop keep. I..I think I was about to try this necklace on...and when I held it up it sparkled in the light...next thing I know here I am." Shrugging she wonders what they should do next. "There has to be a reason it brought me here. I wonder what is in this cave?Should we investigate?" It was kinda dark and a bit eerie in there. Amaya felt a strange vibe coming from within the cavern.

"Are you sure that's such a good id-" Amaya had just started to answer Blaze, when the other girl starts walking into the cave."I guess she does. Aurora, it looks like we're going in. I really don't like the feeling I'm getting." Amaya stays close behind Blaze hoping that they won't get seperated in the darkness.

Just when she thought they were going to be lost, the amethyst necklace she was still holding in her hand began to glow a soft violet color. She stops for a moment, "Blaze...Aurora, look at this!" She holds it up for the others to see. As the pendant twirls around a light beam shoots out like a beacon pointing them in the direction that they needed to go. "I think we need to follow this..." Amaya then starts walking again turning down a trail to the left.
