Welcome to Gaia! ::

The story of creation.
This is the story of how the leaders came to be.

Once, there was god, the Creator. He created all of existence, all powers/elements and controlled all of them. He had created Heaven and Hell. He made the Dragons, the Elf's, the Mermaids(mer-men), the Griffins, the Humans, the Magma Soldiers, and even tricked Lucifer into biting a human (creating the first vampire). He was an evil tyrant and showed no mercy whenever one of his creations spoke to him with insolence in their voices. He would wipe them clear of existence and wipe everyone's memory of them. One day, every creature he made revolted against him. He could not believe his subjects had even thought to turn on him. He was so angry that he himself split apart. He split into seven different powers/elements. He split into the Pheonix, the Sentinel Dragon, the Grand Elder Elf, King/Queen Triton, the Gargoyle, the First Human, and entered Lucifers son. These elemental essences became the Leaders of their elements. The Pheonix rose out of the Grandest of all Volcanoes. The Gargoyle soared above the clouds in his floating city. The Grand Elder Elf raised the Earth to create protection from future attacks. King/Queen Triton sunk far below the ocean and with one slash of his/her mighty trident, Triton raised the ocean's water level more than 400 feet. The Sentinel Dragon swooped down from the earth's atmosphere riding the Sun's rays and entering the portal to heaven. The First Human started diging his new home, using his bare hands. Lucifers first bitten hid behind the shadows of many mountains that bare years of hatred and treatury. Each new embodyment of the evil creator started living life with their powers. Each, over time, built a civilization they could call their own.
Where the Creator fell, he created a temple of each element. The Temple of Power (nicknamed by the leaders) was directly linked with each of the leaders city's. The temple and the city of the leaders was given a shield that could negate all elemental attacks of low quality. If an assassin of the fire city were to try to get in to the City of the Water, he would be fried instantently, unless given direct permission of the leader.
The Leaders have now lived for over 20,000 years, since they were first created. Every 100 years, the leaders would die at the exact same time and would be reborn a day later in the Temple of Power, in each of their own rooms. The Leaders would retain all of their memory and would return to their city's to return to power. The Leaders decided to meet every 10-20 years to discuss the problems with their cities.
For some stange reason, the power for each leader left him/her for a week. Thankfully, each leaders followers didn't find out, and they were able to keep it hidden.
The Leaders have now died. Today, they have been reborn and now have left to rejoin their respectful cities.

Name: Datenshi Kumori Saku (Saku for short)
Age: 20,000
Power/Element: Darkness Leader - First Vampire
Weapon: vampire fangs and sharp claw like nails though both are semi retractable so as to not be apparent all the time & twin daggers, causing temporary paralysis on victums for several minutes after contact with blade.
Physical Description: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/Yuhi/girls/e0b9de65.jpg
She looks boyish and for a while was assumed to be male but she is indeed female though her temper when angered is nothing as gentle as a flowery maiden.
Special ability: short transportation/teleport through shadows. This only works however in her own land. However the only other place and time is every 100 years in which she is able to transport from a shadow in the temple of power back to her own land and from her land to the temple of power.

"If their is anything else to be said, you will have to meet with me later one by one or wait until we meet again. I would like to call this meeting to a close, you are dismissed." Saku said as she watched and waited as the group around the table before her slowly left, closing the door behind them. She herself waited a moment before exiting, slowly making her way to the stairs to the first floor. "I would rather have liked that to go more calmly, but even vampires can disagree with one another. I just hope the rest of my day goes as calm as it can." At the bottom of the stairs, Saku headed for the main door and exited her castle, feeling the need for a small walk before dealing with the next item on her list.

Saku soon found herself wandering around her private garden, full of asphodels, marigolds, narcissus, and other such flowers of darkness. With an intake of breath, Saku intook the smell of the flowers and a wave of calmness washed over her. She could never be as peaceful and worry free as she was when she was in her garden. Anywere else she felt cold, defensive and out of place. Here she felt a warth she had not felt in so long. Moving to the fountain placed in the center of her garden, Saku gathered a bucket and gathered some water. She moved around her garden watering the flowers as she hummed softly. No one would disturb her here, it was the one place everyone except her was forbidden to go to.

Rising to her feet, a single narcissus flower in her hand, Saku turned towards the oncoming wind. She heard Sentinal's voice as the wind blew around her. In seconds she had moved from her garden to her stables where a dark winged horse greeted her. Mounting, Saku wasted no time in taking off and heading for the light domain. "Faster Hikitsu, we must not dally." Saku said, feeling her horse fly faster as she finished speaking. She felt a pulling forse against her once she had passed the barrier but the urgency in Sentinal's voice left Saku knowing it was no time to worry. Flying towards Sentinal, Saku comanded her horse to slow and hover just under the city. Saku turned her head up, starring at the city of light slowly lowering closer towards her. Saku placed her fingertips together forming a circle as she spoke. "Darkness seed, Shadows of the seven lands. Here my words and come to my aid, Shadow Force." Thrusting her hands up over her head, palms open facing the city above her, Saku shot shadowed energy up at the city, its force strong enough to hold the city in place, but weak enough to not cause any form of destruction on any part of the city. "Now, you and your engineers have some time to fix the generator. I can hold this city up just fine alone but here in your domain, my power of darkness will not last me forever." Saku spoke towards Sentinal, though she remained focused on keeping the city up and airborn.

Closing her hands, the shadow blast stopped. "Fly Hikitsu." Saku said and with a large flap of his black wings, the winged horse took Saku away from the city in time to avoid the energy blast. Halting her horse at a safe distance, Saku turned to watch the city, the narcissus flower she had brought with her lay in her lap till she lifted it and placed it beside her horses ear. "Well how about that Hikitsu, A vampire invited to dinner with a dragon, Light and Dark." Her horse gave a loud snork, causing Saku to give him a light smack. "Come now, I know you like tradition and rather enjoy giving orders but Im the one person you cant order around. Besides, its a simple thanks dinner, no harm in going. If you just want to head back then go ahead, I can get back alone." Hikitsu gave a shake of his head, glancing back at Saku. With a small smile, Saku reached over, stroaking the horses mane. "Alright, you can stay. You wont let me be alone for long. You just worry too much." Saku continued to pet her horse, her gave however moved to the light city, watching and waited.

With a glance from his master, Hikitsu began to fly towards the pillar just outside the city without a word from Saku. As the approached and landed nearby, Hikitsu turned to Saku. "My lady, are you sure about this. You look tired and who knows what may happen here. We are outside the dark land and no were near aid. My Lady we should just accept a thank you and leave." Saku quietly dismounted, fixing her robes before looking up at the horse expressionless. "Hikitsu, I have no intention of being impolite and refusing his offer. Nor am I not aware of our position. At this point I was asked for help, in being so I highly doubt any form of harm or betrayal will happen so you need to relax and trust my judgment." "yes My Lady" With a small smile Saku stepped forward and grabbed Hikitsu's neck as she felt her knees shake. "I cant deny that I am slightly tired, I dont have limitless energy here like back in our land. I shall be fine now, it was simply the switch from riding to walking that did it. Now shall I find you here when I return or are you heading back Hikitsu?" The horse turned to Saku, his answer gleaming it his bright red eyes. With a small smile, Saku pat the horses neck and walked towards the pillar.
