Welcome to Gaia! ::

Unlike its sister, this forest holds much much life. Many creatures and species live in this massive area. this is the place to be if you are a forest elemental. the only threat to this great great land is MecHall City, which wants to tear down this beautiful forest.

*lillith approaches a grand waterfall* *lilliths takes a deep breath in* hmm i love this place smile *lilliths kneels by the water and cups her hands to drink from it,then lillith just sits there waiting for someone to enter the forest so she can get somemoney*....*growl* uhh im hungry...

*After a bit of time with running, Ryu finally made it to forest. He heard a nearby waterfall, and thought he saw people that way. cautiosly, he approached to see what was happening*

*lillith sensed people near by,and does a back flip up into the trees* ~i cant believe i let my guard down...damn..hmm who is taro?~ *lillith looks over and into the waterfall and sees a man there,looks like he is meditating,but something else caught her eyes* ~ooo what a pretty locket, bet it could catch a nice price in merc village~ *lillith then jumps to a few more trees so she is closer to the man named taro* ~hmm i need a disdraction...~

*ryu pulled out one of his katanas and began to walk out. he noticed the girl in the trees andtried to get her attention.* HEY KITTY KITTY!!

~Deep withen the forest Xian lounges with his tiger companion~ This is the life Crystym. No troubles what so ev- ~Crystym perks up and sniffs the air, he issues a low rumbling from his belly and looks to the north. Xian looks and see's a small ruslting among the trees. Snapping out of his repreve he focuses and hears a voices off in the distance. Jumping to his feet he looks at the tiger~

Go check it out my friend. I'll find a sutiaable hiding place. ~Crystym darts off and is out of sight in a second. Xian jumps onto a branch about 50 feet up and perches among the leeves...A moment later Crystym is next to him. The tiger growls.~ less then a mile eh...they'll be here soon then.

~Not soon later later a group of about 15 men marches into the grove. Xian pulls out his bow and an arrow and takes aim at the lead man. Crystym prepares to pounce. He lets loose the arrow and both he and the white tiger are right behind it. They tear into the men. Xian's scimitars are a whurling blur and he slices threw man after man. To anyone on looking it would seem as though he was enjoying himself. But this was false. He wished not to fight at all. But he knew who these men were and that they would only fight. So he was forced. Soon there was but one man left. He stood thier smugly. Xian kept his distance as did Crystym. Something was off about this man.~

~His eyes...something about his eyes. Suddenly without warning his hand raised and in it he held something Xian had never really seen before. It was a long tube leading to a barrel at the end. The man held it by a wooden handle. He pointed it directly at Xian and his finger moved. Suddenly there was a loud bang and what felt like a burning pole of iron entered Xian's chest. He looked down to see he was bleeding. One, two, three more loud bangs. This was a new type of pain. This wasnt good. Xian hit the ground. As he looked over the man pointed whatever the device was a Xian's head and was pounced on and malled by Crystym. Everything started to go black. The last thing his blue eyes saw was a silvery mist encircling his body. Then...he was gone.~

What do i want? I want to turn you in, get my money, then go on with my business. now, im going to ask you to come with me, although that never works *ryu laughed off* so...easy way...hard way...or fun way *ryu said with a half smile*

cause you dont pay close enough attention to your surroundings...*ryu laughed as he whistled out. When he whistled, a large black wolf appeared near the demon* i think im different cause i feel that i can get you. heh heh..
