Welcome to Gaia! ::

May stopped when she got back to the spot where the creatures had been. She knelt down and studied the ground for a moment, sliding a finger across the soil. "He is coming..." May stood and waited as a large creature emerged from the soil. The creature smiled sinisterly as it looked at May. "May... it has been ages since we last met! You should come here more often. We had such good times... don't you remember?" He said in a deep husky voice. May faintly smiled at this and approached the creature. "It is clear that you are not to attack them anymore, yes? Now tell me, where is he?" "Oh May, you know I can't tell you that. Only if he wants to be known of his where abouts, then he will come to you. I may have known at a point, but I no longer do. Do not ask me such silly questions. Anyway... why did you bring such young ones here. Do you really think they are ready?" "I believe they are. They have made it this far.... although... it is going to be the next challenges that take a strong toll on them. I hope they will be able to make it through it. I know Aniah can do it... but that is because I was with her, her first time through... I am beginning to wonder why he made her go through this place again... although I suppose it isn't that hard to figure out." May pulled a crystal bottle out of her pocket, shaped in the form of a tear drop. She soon handed it to the creature. "Here. You did ask me to get you this correct?" The creature nodded solemnly. "Yes. I did not think you would get it however. You are full of suprises. Oh, and remember... no matter how much you want to... once they enter the castle. DO NOT under any circumstances go in with them. You remember what happened last time... it is going to be very, very hard for them... you know that. They have to pull through this alone. Very few people ever make it through there so prepare them best you can, but don't go in yourself." May nodded and faintly smiled as she began to back away. "I must be going now. So take care and give my regards to your brother." The creature chuckled and smiled. "Of course I will. Make sure those kids behave themselves because they are in for a world of trouble. Well... off with you then. You don't want to keep them waiting." He watched as May left and shook his head and wispered. "Becareful yourself May..." He soon went back under the ground and left the area, leaving the soil the same level it was before, as if he had never been there.

((sorry it is so long....))

Aniah smiled happily. "Good. This is definitely a lot better than walking." Aniah said as she began to giggle. "When do you think May will come back?" Aniah jumped seeing someone come up along side them. "M...May?!""Yes Aniah. No need to yell. It seems you are all doing well at the moment. Have you had any unexpected visitors, or has it been peaceful so far? If it has been peaceful, don't expect that to last much longer."

"I'm sorry Tyasha, but that just is not an option. Either you can become a lost soul here and be haunted and tortured forever, or you can finish this through to the very end and make it out. The only person who can allow you to leave this place is you, and that is if you get to the very end of this and make it out safely. No one said this journey would be easy, most things in life aren't. You just have to grit your teeth and keep moving and push yourself to limits you never knew you could reach. You need to be strong, because if you don't succeed in the end.... well, let's just say you want to succeed.... and will. There is a fate worse than death and being a trapped soul in this place.... Tyasha, if you are not strong, then Maitsuko will not be strong. If she is not strong, you will not be strong. You both need to be strong for each other and you will be able to pull through this. I will not tell you to stop complaining. This is a hard task to do and most people fail the journey, either getting to the end or succeeding their final goal. There is a 10% chance that you will make it through this... but I think if you two put your minds to it, you will be able to make it through all the way."

Tyahsa grinned "I guess so.." he said as he held his hilt "im ready.."

" Huh..." Maitsuko murmured, somehow falling into thought. "Everything in our past?" She managed out again. "That don't sound so good."

The human sighed, while noticing sink holes in the ground, and the trees becoming thinner, and more scarce. Eventually, she leapt off the tree she had just recently jumped into, and turned a questioning look at May, while pointing in the direction of one of the said holes.

Maitsuko groaned slightly, before kneeling down, and letting Anaih slide off her back. "Sounds like a challenge." Maitsuko reasoned, while standing back up, and placing a hand on her sword. "Tyasha... let's get too it then." She muttered, while taking her first step foreword. 'Damn, this is where I really wish I was like one 'a those flying frogs.'

'Tch, stupid, there's no such thing as a flying frog!'

'Yuh-huh! remember, in that rainforest on that odd island a few months back!'

'Geez, that was a flying bird eating a frog; not the frog itself! Don't you look when you see stuff like that?!'

'Yeah! and I'm telling you, it was a flying frog!'

"Oh...kay..." Maitsuko murmered out. "Hey Tyasha?" She called to the male, before grinning, and holding up the thumbs up sign. "I'm not afraid."

A second later, she had leapt into the 'danger zone'. Oddly enough, when she landed, it was as if... she was standing on sand. 'Huh... odd.'

Maitsuko took off in a full run, attempting to get out of this area as quickly as possible. There were odd sounds coming... from almost underneath her. 'Is... is the ground growling at me?!'
