Welcome to Gaia! ::

Part I
Jerate paced through the village, checking each house to make sure they were safe. You just didn't know these days. Not only that, but there were rumors of the Shadow Lord returning. Jerate really, really hoped that the rumor was not true. But somehow, he believed it was. One stormy night, everyone was here, but the next day 3 people were missing. It just doesn't make sense. He thought to himself. Once his rounds were done, he went to get with the others. Jerate was leaving the village with a few friends. Chances were, none of them were coming back. His friends were Becca, Kunare, Anya, and Esan.

Becca was the pretty one. She was tall and skinny, with dirty blonde hair extending halfway down her back. She was skilled in archery, and enchanting her arrows with elemental essence. Kunare was her protective boyfriend, tall and strong. He had black hair, and slanted eyes. He was a skilled archmage with a lot of talent. Anya was emo of the crowd. She was alwayts so depressed and lonely. She was excellent with potions, poisons, knives, and other things of that short. When she wasn't depressed, she was happy-go-lucky. Anya was relatively tall, with black hair that extended to a little past her shoulder. Esan was rumored to be her boyfriend. He was strong and good with swords, very capable of enchanting those with elemental essence. And of course, Jerate was the average person. He was the middle of everything, from abilities to looks. He wasn't too tall he wasn't too short, and had average ability. The only thing that made him stand out was the large black rune on this side of his face. It was what gave him power, but also what crippled him in fights.

Now that he had finished his rounds, Jerate headed back to the hut with the others. Everybody had their stuff packed but him. "Sorry, I had to do my rounds." Jerate apologized. He packed up quickly and they set off. Not long after they began their legendary journey, were they attacked by an Ice Drake. The monster was of decent build and had a strong aura upon it. It attacked Jerate first, sensing him the weakest. To Jerate's surprise, the rune did nothing to stop him from attacking back. He dodged to the side and stabbed the monster's wing from below. The Ice Drake screamed in pain and attacked him relentlessly. He managed to fend the beast off while the others began to think of helping him. "Help me, you idiots!" Jerate screamed. This seemed to wake them up and they too began attacking the monster. After they started helping, it took but a minute for the monster to run. "Y'all are jerks." Jerate mumbled after the monster was gone. They all looked at him questioningly but didn't ask why he was mad.

reminds me of Burning Wills somewhat XD continue XD

Scratch the last part I thought I was reading the other post xp whee ninja

Part IV
Caim realized with mixed emotions that the shadow was Jerate. What had happened to him? Why was he such a monster now? Caim slowly got to his feet and began limping towards the entrance of the cave. It took him a while, but eventually Caim was out of the cave and almost to the bridge. He stepped onto the bridge, but right as he did so, it began snapping. Caim could see smoke in the distance, so he rushed across the bridge, hoping it would not give way. As soon as he crossed the bridge, Caim saw that his friends were being chased by a Void Dragon, a beast made up of essence of the Underworld. The creature jumped through the air, and almost landed on Caim. Caim rolled quickly away, but did not forget his injury. He healed it quickly, but soon regretted it. It momentarily took his breath away, the breath he could have used to kill the beast. The monster jumped on him, puncturing his lungs. The Void Dragon took a chunk out of Caim's stomach. Kunare quickly took action and blasted the creature with fire over the edge. He healed Caim, who had amazingly survived the attack. Caim said, "Thanks. But I have some very disturbing news to tell you guys."

After Caim had told them what had happened, their mouths dropped. "I knew something was wrong with him." Esan muttered. Caim turned to him and punched him so hard, he went flying through the trees. "Don't talk about my brother!" He screeched as he jumped on top of Esan, continuously beating him with his fists. Kunare, Becca, and Anya pried him off of Esan, but not before Caim had broken Esan's nose. Caim looked like he was going to assault him again, but instead he did the opposite. He just walked away; from the camp and everybody else. He kept walking until his feet bled, but kept walking after that. Eventually, he reached a town, where he spent the night in the inn.
