Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elizabeth Marie sat at her window, laptop sitting on her knee. She looked out side, urging the clouds to pass and let the beautiful sunlight shine freely on the land. Of course, that rarely happened, here in Hawthorne Creek. It is nearly always raining. But when the Sun did come out of hiding, it was stunning. The forest looked magical. She found it easier to write when the weather was nice.

She sighed, pressing her fingers on the keys and began to write about the mysteries and temptations of being a necromancer. She absolutely adored them. If it were possible, she would become one, herself. But, in this world that isn’t possible. So she writes about a realm where anything can happen.

After several hours of continuous writing, Elizabeth felt the need to go for a walk. So she saved her work, and placed the notebook on her desk- which was on directly across from the window- then skipped out of her room and down the hall to the living room. Grabbing her favorite crimson colored jacket, she noticed there were two new messages waiting on her answering machine. Eh, it can wait. It’s probably not even that important, anyway.

The air felt cold on her hot cheeks. Though, the rain felt nice on her skin. As she walked down the sidewalk to the trail that would take her to the forest, a few people acknowledged her with a “Hello.” Or, “How are you?” But she ignored them and kept walking.

Although it was only mid-day, it was dark under cover of the trees; almost like the night. Elizabeth knew the forest well, so she had no trouble navigating her way through it. This was her favorite place to be- other then at her window writing. Out here in the cool air, she was at peace. The silence let her think.

She didn’t know how long she had been walking, but she found herself at the edge of the forest; on the outskirts of Eternal City. She saw a man of about twenty standing outside the gates, holding a baby. Though, it was hard to tell from where Elizabeth was standing, he appeared to be attractive.

She heard someone call out, “Trace!” It seemed as though he looked straight at her, so she hid behind a tree; still able to see him. The person who yelled his name called again, “Trey, Trey? What are you doing out here?” He turned around, saying something then sauntered in the gate.

Elizabeth started running back home. All she could think of was the inhuman she had seen. “Trey…” She had never seen an inhuman before. Though, she was fascinated by them. I want to meet him… I wonder if he’s part of the Sunfall.

She unlocked the door of her lonely apartment. Of course, she didn’t mind being alone. By the time she got home, darkness covered Hawthorne Creek.
