Welcome to Gaia! ::

The two girls stared fiery eyed at each other, Yukari held her friend tightly.
She didn't know this dimension but had the feeling that the hostess was only nice as long as everyone else was nice. If a fight broke out she was sure that everything in the area would then change.
Yukari felt it as she entered that place, it was in the air, the grass, the water...

Tianna was still filled with rage, but the longer she stood there the more that feeling dwindled, Yukari was right. Soon her body relaxed and her eyes quietened. Tianna sighted and looked at the table.
"I am sorry... maybe I should go."
Though the rage had gone she still felt uncomfortable being around that man.

"Very well, we'll both go. Should be time to get back, need our rest before classes in the morning."

Yukari picked up her bag and so did Tianna, they thanked the Hostess who smiled warmly at them from her dusting with a pot-a-dot duster.
The two girls left this time by the door together, the door opened to a darkness, Tianna and Yukari places a hand in the darkness which then changed to trees and a warm orange glow, it was the world they were from and the sun was just setting there.

Noting that the girls had left once the angry girl calmed slightly, Shillan directed her attention to Loz's lesson. She felt the dark hole as it opened and remembered how the reading felt so as to have it for reference in the future and listened carefully to the explanation of how to conjure this portal.

When he stepped through, she felt his presence disappear briefly and then reappear again. If she hadn't known his psychic reading before, the ice demon would have received an elbow in the gut and a open-handed cut the back of his neck within the instant he'd materialized, but now, all the psychic elf did was smile as his breath tickled her ears.

"Very clever," she murmured in reply, the silly smile widening. "Let's see..." She opened her left hand, the way he had done and pushed the energy out. The area rippled, but no darkness appeared; yet she could feel the same void that had opened as when he had done it and continued, imagining a spot next to the nearby tree for starters. The ripple in space widened, but again no black hole. Tentatively, Shillan stepped through.

For a moment it seemed there were two of her, one standing a few inches in front of Loz and the other standing under the shade of the tree. Then the first image vanished into the colorless ripple and there was only the one under the tree, which stepped up next to Loz and looked up, a glimmer of amused concern in her eyes. "I don't suppose that was supposed to happen, bending time as well as space?"

Shillan smiled when he laughed; she certainly thought that seeing another version of herself was very curious; no doubt seeing two of her was amusing for him. She raised her eyebrow at his tease and declared, "Impossible," but she did try again, and did keep her focus--not that she hadn't been before.

She channeled her energy again, concentrating on a spot next to the pond, but this time focused the energy closer. The atmosphere rippled again, but no dark void formed. She adjusted the energy level to match the reading she had gleaned from Loz and slowly color spread until a portal of black opened and she stepped though.

A minute of silence must have passed after the door closed before Shillan reappeared in that spot next to the pond. "Well that didn't work." From where she was she tried again. This time she was back to the door was white, but she stepped through anyways reappeared instantly next to Loz. It seemed she was successful-- that is, until she noticed that the girls from earlier were just leaving again and another version of herself was standing on the other side of the ice demon. Shillan picked a seat next to the rock and waited for time to catch up before joking, "Forget this portal-opening, if I want to get back here I should just bend time back to now."

While back in time watching the lesson again though, the archer had come up with another idea and now as she stood, she slipped her bow off her back. She concentrated her energy in the same way as she had done before, checking and double checking to ensure the readings matched and drew the bowstring back as if she were about to shoot. A thread of black formed where her fingers passed until she held a pure black arrow nocked in position, =the slightest trace of gold-dust swirling through the intangible arrow.

The arrow released silently and struck a little teacup at the two had been sitting at. Instead of shattering though, the teacup seemingly absorbed the arrow, vanishing at the same time. The next moment it appeared in Shillan's right hand.

She raised the teacup and sipped if only for effect and grinned. "Well that worked. Now I just need to be able tot do that to myself." She said, ambling back and setting the empty teacup on the table.

((Ahahah I had so much fun just being weird with this post))

"I was able to see your lesson again," Shillan noted, indirectly answering his question. "Looks like it came to good use."

She didn't speak after that, seemingly lost in thought. In actuality she was probing the environment for traces of energy that shouldn't be there; she wondered if she would be able to sense the future by simply probing the present for incongruent energies.

"Strange, you know. Of all the things I was taught between the elves and the dragons and my own battles, teleporting was never one of them." She paused, thinking. That wasn't entirely true; she had watched others learn it before, though in different ways, which might have aided how quickly she had been able to do anything at all with this situation. "How did you come here the first time?"

((haha, yup smile We're back to the smaller posts now though mad .
I think I've asked this question before...I can't remember now; chemistry muddles with my brain. >_<))

Shillan watched Lox with a curious eyes as he circled her, but did not question it; she knew by now he had his own ways of doing things. Instead she wandered over to the buffet of desserts still laid out and returned with a healthy stack of treats. Of these, she picked a cookie and watched as opened another portal.

The psychic noticed that it was different from the ones she'd seen him do before in an instant and maneuvered around, popping the cookie in her mouth, She stared through the portal that had been formed and lead off to a land of ice and snow.

"Huh," was her only comment though. "I don't exactly know which world I'm going to so then..." abruptly Shillan stopped, a thought possessing her. Finally, she spoke, slowly but without hesitation. "Queen Andromeda said that this would be a waystation from my old world and time to the new ones. Do you think that shifting through time as well as space is giving me this unusual ability to mess with time when I teleport around the garden?"

((Sorry sorry for not posting here. Busy with life, what can I say DX))

Loz turned to Shillan when she started to speak. Tilting his head at her sudden stop.
"I'm not sure about that. It could be, or could just be that is how You are."

Loz then felt the strange movement in energy as a hole opened above the lake, he felt someone enter that dimension but feeling no danger showed no interest in it.
Smiling Loz offered Shillan his hand "come see through this door, it looks out over my clans home."

Once you stood in front of the door sure enough the ice cave opened to a path of snow, it lead down. There were building looked like white ice and snow bit they were made from bricks, the land that stretched out had trees growing with crystal like flowers blooming. The land was green beyond the town and looked like any other world. Apart from crystal flowers, and lots of other strange creatures and plants.

"This is my home just as summer is arriving." Loz said warmly. The sun was just rising in his world and the light was hitting the houses and making then shimmer.
