Mother Gaia's Story

It begun coughing and shaking as Kozue hurried to Mother Gaia. She hugged it close to her to give it some warmth. The other girl followed after her. As Kozue ran, she felt many pairs of eyes on her. She shrugged it off as Mother Gaia's creature in the Garden. She ran to the center where she saw a figure sitting among the plants, she seems to be resting. "Mother-Mother Gaia! The fox..." Kozue said in between pants as she stretch out the fox towards Mother Gaia. The figure moved to motion Kozue to go closer. Kozue followed. She took a few steps closer.

Mother Gaia gently stroked the fox before retracting her hand. "How did you get in here? You are...A part of The Sealed." Mother Gaia said as the plants around her suddenly take an offensive stance. "Glass girl, you should let go of it. Now!" Mother Gaia said as she pulled Kozue away after Kozue let the fox down.

'This fox is a sealed?' Kozue thought blankly.

Blake shuddered at The Mothers touch. Blake leaped from the girls arms and took a stance toward The Mother. "Call off your vile pets." Blake said in his true voice, as a Glass he sounded like a normal man, but as any other form his voice was smooth, charming, and intimidating. Blake sat on his fury haunches and scratched at his ear. "I'm here as a messenger. The world is changing, and if you don't want to be collateral damage the true father of this world kindly offers you a spot below him in exchange for your life." Blake said. He would have taken his true form, but a dragon would be much to offensive of a position to take as a messenger. A small venerable black fox would be nearly harmless. "And don't try capturing me and sealing me again. Your seal is far too weak for the likes of me." Blake added.

Blake made a link with Savel quickly in his mind. "She only suspect me so far, as long as I keep her distracted you should be able to hold the Glass girl hostage so we can get out of here after this pompous treehugger has received her message. Then I can set this filth garden alight." Blake told Savel.

"Working below? I do not need it, I'd rather perish than work under someone as corrupted as him." Mother Gaia spatted out, holding Kozue close to herself. "Tell him that I also have my own messengers. 6 in fact. They will defeat him in my stead, they will erase the Sealed race." Mother continued.

'Erase the Sealed..?' Kozue thought. "She is one of them." Mother added, as if she declared something so important that the whole world should know. "Yes?!" Kozue asked aloud.

"Tell him that his end is near and only time will proof that evil can never overtake good." Mother Gaia said proudly in a threatening matter.

"I will tell him all that you have said. I believe it is wise of you to choose six to die for you instead of an entire army. Quicker for me and less work. About erasing the Sealed though... One problem... How can you erase what is not there?" With that Blake let his black fox form shed. The form kind of just turned to dust and blew away with a chilling wind. Blake had taken his original form. A spirit. The Mother could most likely sense his presence, but he didn't mind, this was just to scare that glass girl, and put on a good show Blake wasn't "The Minstrel" for nothing.

Blake allowed himself to float up over the garden. The place was beautiful and made blake want to vomit. Blake channeled some of his energy into the trees in the garden and set them alight. Savel would find her own way out. She would be ok. "Hear my music Mother, and ejoy." Blake taunted. He saw Savel wasn't doing anything. He sighed and took on his dragon form. Since he took it out of his spirit form it looked like he just appeared of thin air. Blake swooped down letting out a harsh roar right at mother Gaia and the green haired girl. Blake grabbed savel between his talons and let out a huge beat of his wings and he was off.

The fox disappeared in front of Kozue's eyes. More accurately, it turned to dust. "Wha-" She was about to say before the Garden was set ablaze. "Mother...Gaia..." Kozue said as she tried to process the information. 'Me? 6 messengers? Satan? I thought I was going to die? Why?' She could only think of questions and more questions.

"Ugh..." Mother breathed out. Kozue focused her attention on Mother Gaia and noticed burnt wounds on her arms. "Put out the fire for me." She whispered and rain started raining from a corner of the Garden and spread out, however, it did not rain over at where the two of them was. "Kozue, I need your help. Please help me restore peace to this world and this residents. You have to go in search of the other 5. I am sure you can do it." Mother Gaia said, smiling as she patted Kozue on the back. "But...I am already considered dead." Kozue muttered, my mind in a mess. "Yes, I understand. I will try to not get you to your town anymore. In this journey, this little guy will keep you company." Mother said as the same blue little bird flew down. "Her name is Piyo." Mother Gaia introduced. The bird rested on Kozue's shoulders.

"She will protect you from dangers until you can do so by yourself. I will leave it to you Kozue. Now, get going." Mother said as she kissed Kozue on the forehead.

Savel stood on the side of the whole thing, acting befuddled by all that was happening, like a teenager glass would be. Inside however she was barely stopping herself from laughing, as she couldn't believe that Mother Gaia herself hadn't sensed her yet. Observing her, she reckoned that must be what Satan would have looked like if he'd walked the good path. And been female. She shuddered, almost gagging with the purity she emitted. She was glad that any weak glass would be overwhelmed with power and react in that way, so she was in the clear. Then, when Blake sent her a mental image, she smirked, already planning what she would do. Then, when Blake sassed the Mother herself, she subtly mouthed to his spirit form behind her mouth; Ouuuuuch! Knowing they would start to suspect her, Savel shook her glass knees, and whimpered, then before anyone could do anything, ran into the trees screaming, disappearing in the shadows of the canopy.

Once out of sight, Savel returned to her normal form. She sighed in bliss. Glass clothes were ridiculous, the only really useful thing of the outfit was the bag, which she then threw on the ground. It exploded into splinters, but Savel was untouched as she strode away, adjusting her ebony wood hair clip. She might as well look good if she was gonna wreak havoc on this place. She jumped high into the air, leaving a little cloud of dust unsettled on the ground as she took off. She fluttered above the garden, keeping to the edge of the crowd's view. She lay with her belly parallel to the ground, hovering as she watched people walking about below. She peered until she saw Blake and sent him a mental message. So, you ready to get this festival interesting? I'll get the Glass girl when she isn't in reach of the Mother though. She grinned at the thought of the havoc about to occur.

Savel hovered next to her partner in crime and thought on his question, wondering which to do first. She knew no one would hear, she whispered;"We should create a distraction, then you separate the kids with your fire like KABOOM! They'll piss themselves." She laughed to herself, glad she worked for the devil. Not something an average being on Gaia would say. She reclined on a cushion of air and grinned, her eyes alight with a flame of slight insanity, as usual. She observed Blake as his hawk wings beat slightly faster than normal, and was puzzled as to why he exhausted himself so. She shrugged it off and continued planning. She grinned when she thought of a great way to create dark feelings in glass hearts below. She held a finger to her lips then fluttered around behind the crowd, out of sight, sending a mental note to Blake. "Get ready."

Getting to a good vantage point, Savel hovered above the crowd, and subtly but quickly grew trees far ahead of the glass on the path. When the crowd got to the trees, she furrowed her brow, and made a master piece of wood out of sight of the crowd, then grinned at it, proud of her work. She then set it down, and drove the ice cream truck to a small patch and bent the trees over it, making it look like it was bathed in heavenly light. On a hot day like this, kids would beg for ice cream. And they did. They tugged on their parent's coats and pants, gathering awwwws from childless adults. Parents dug into their wallets, and gave their children whatever loose change they had, and sent them on their way. Of course there were the occasional tight parents, but that wouldn't matter in a while.

When everyone was busy giving their children money, Savel fluttered down into the van, behind the counter, and leaned on it, smiling happily at the children, and widened her eyes. "Hey kids! Now, what'll it be?" She asked the kid at the front, and he looked at her puzzled. "Aren't you a divine? Why are you in an ice cream van?" Savel stood straight, put a finger to her chin and looked at the child, mocking him and the other children. "You know what, it's just occurred to me why a not so divine divine such as me is doing here!" She then pulled her finger away, but kept the mocking look on her face. "It's because you're going to die!" Savel then brought her hands palm up and raised them above her head, her face keeping that terrifying look as she rose tall thorn bushes from the ground, forming a wall between the adults and the children for Blake to set alight, summoning cries of MY BABY! or DANNY! but, only one bothered to try and run to the wall. Savel tutted and controlled the thorns to surround the would be hero, blocking him from view and sunlight, thorns jabbing into him, summoning gashes and cuts, and only Savel knew. And Blake of course, thanks to their mental link. Which reminded Savel. "Blake! You gonna set this sucker alight?" Savel then settled down, and watched the weeping children in front of her, waiting for the stupid Glass girl Mother Gaia had chosen to be her "Warrior"
