Welcome to Gaia! ::

A large glass sphere in the basement of an abandoned log cabin can transport you to a world of its own. This powerful item was once in the possession of a dark mage, but long since abandoned. It's magic is still active though, and when touched, can transport you into a limited alternative plane of reality, inside the sphere. A deserted island, always in summer with blue waves all around the beach, has two enormous towers extending upward in the middle. The spot where you come in is at the top of one tower, and a narrow bridge extends to the other, larger towertop, with an expansive open building to provide every hospitality for guests.

Also, the reality of time is different here- when you are transported to this plane, you remain in here for 24 hours, but when you return, only one hour will have passed in the real world.

Mizumaru arose from the puddle about a full minute after Yamaji. he looked up and saw Yamaji at the top of the large tower, looking down at him. "Yamaji" Mizumaru said to himself. "I don't know why you're doing this, but if you really are this way, you're no friend of mine." With these words, Mizumaru took off toward the top of the tower and was there in less than 45 seconds.

mizumaru only stared at the ground. he could not understand this. First his friend, whom he had not seen for over three years shows up at Mahora and greets him pleasantly, then he says he wants to kill him. Just then, a gruesome thought crossed Mizumaru's mind. "Yamaji, I need to ask you something!"

Mizumaru quickly answered. "Are there more? The Ka Clan, are they here?" he waited anxiously for an answer, praying that the answer would be "no".

Mizumaru let out a sigh of relief. That's the last thing he needed was the rest of the Ka Clan here, killing any mundane they came across to get to him. "Alright then Yamaji, if this is the way it has to be, I won't hesitate to kill you either!"

The look of hatred had not left Mizumaru's face. When he spoke, it was like listening to a demon. "You work for the Ka Clan. You have abandoned the past and have come to end my life. If that is the team you truly play for, then I will kill you just like I will anyone else in your clan Yamaji Ka! The past is gone! 'Saggita Magica, Gojuu Mizu no Ya' (Magic Archer, Fifty Water Arrows)." the very moisture in the air liquified and formed fifty balls of water in a circle around Mizumaru. "Now die!" said Mizumaru as he snapped his finger. The arrows launched at Yamaji all at the same time, cutting through the air as if piercing through flesh.

As Mizumaru caught the flaming ball, he could feel that it was no hotter than the surrouinding air. The ball then began to glow, and Mizumaru muttered a spell under his breath. "Agua Magica, Mizu no Jin Dainyuu! (Water Man Substitution)". Nothing appeared to happen.
