Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cassandra was finally able to leap safely from the window. Which made her feel so very accomplished. She ran over when her master called her over... Well waved her over. But why was Master Atta and Aizith there? And why did it seem like Jake and Atta were slightly closer? Cassandra shrugged the thought off. Atta seemed too... Uptight. She giggled slightly before heading over and seeing that Xavier had beaten one air but then a new one appeared.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Atta sat and turned a glare to Jake. "You are so lucky that i'm interested in how your student does... Because you happen to be sitting on plants and the Earthyness I can control...." She threatened playfully deciding that for now it was okay to be so non herself. As Cassandra came up Atta smiled and waved before pushing slightly at Jake and returning her attention to the fighting.

Jake smiled to himself as he watched Cassandra walk over to where Atta, Aizith, and he were. Now I have both students with me, which gives me the freedom to focus more on my comebacks and less on finding my students. He though to himself as Atta made a playful threat. "Is that so? Well just remember should I somehow have gotten myself stuck in this earthyness, you will indeed face the consequences." He said with a playful tone as he watched Xavier pin down the air spirits. Way to go kiddo, just remember to stay away from that darned earth golem's reach and you should do fine. He thought to himself with satisfaction. "So what did you and Xavier do while I was away trying to convince this, stubborn as a rock, master to let me borrow her student. Which I failed at by the way. Trying to convince her to let me use her student is like trying to make a bolder talk." He asked Cassandra, making sure his voice was just loud enough for her and Atta to hear what he said.

Jake felt a giant grin come across his face as he heard what Xavier did to help Cassandra. Well Roc, I gotta say, you sure do know how to pick future masters. He thought, hoping Roc was listening. "Well now we gotta teach you how to meditate properly. And I was going to pit Xavier and Aizith, the earth student, against eachother, but Master Atta said no. She said that Aizith was still recovering from the battle, so we'll just kidnap Aizith later." He said keeping the grin on his face.

At hearing Atta's comeback about him being easily distracted he couldn't resist the urge to lean against her. "But I can't help but be distracted. It's hard to stay focused whe-oh look a ladybug!" He said pointing off in a random direction. Then, before Atta could get in a retort he said, "Sorry. I couldn't resist. I was going to say it's hard to stay focused when I'm next to someone as lovely as you." He thought about saying someone else, but wanted to see what her reaction to the complement would be.

Cassandra nodded happily. For once she felt as though she belonged somewhere. Because Xavier helped a ton and because she was happy to be under the Master Jake, Roc's and Xavier's watchful eyes. She turned her attention to the battle and watched as the golem sank under the ground. Was Aizith and Atta able to do that too?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Atta was about to laugh at his being distracted but was unable to as he leaned against her and complimented her. She blushed deeply and turned to continue watching the fighting. She wouldn't let the golem get too difficult on Xavier... But she couldn't resist the urge to lay her head on Jake's shoulder. If he wanted to play that game then she would play. Her cheeks, although from being outside so much she was slightly tanned, were still beet red.

Atta looked up at Jake from his shoulder as he talked to Cassandra... He had totally ignored her head placement. Rolling her eyes she herself decided to meditate for a moment. Lifting her head from Jake's shoulder she crossed her legs placed both hands on the ground and closed her eyes. She wanted to be calm. The movement of the earth always kept her calm. It was peaceful and slow. She paced her heart beat and breathing in time with the movement and breathing of the Earth. She could feel the trembling of the Earth where Titan was angry. And she knew as to why. She had threatened to leave, and yet he was waiting. She didn't know why about that... She rolled her head and watched the battle throuh the eyes of the Earth.

Casssandra shrugged. "Whenever you tell me to do that, I usually close my eyes and concentrate on feeling that strange power.."

Xavier moved around in his cage calm as ever. he walked up to the bars then knocked on them "Hmm" he said then stuck his head out the bars and looked up to see the aerial attack. He put his head back into the cage he sat down and started to meditate. Xavier sat there for a few seconds then out of nowhere he puff out a thick fog from his mouth covering up the whole battlefield.

Zane sat in the shad of the trees. The tranquility of the forest always helped calm him these woods especially. Yes he had many good memories here. It had been so long since he had been in contact with any of them and he wondered how they were. It was a life he sometimes wished he could go back to. To be ignorant again of all the suffering in the world but he had already come this far. There was no turning back. At least he could still find comfort within these woods while the war continued. He would enjoy it while he still could. Once the war picked up, there would be no telling when he would be able to feel at peace again. Even still, slowly his mind wondered to what he had to do and where the cult would be going from this point. Even if Rhonin put up a strong front, the attack had severely weakened their forces and recruitment was not easy. How would they proceed from here? This was only one school. Surely upon hearing the news, the other schools would not be taken by surprise. Maybe they should move on from here and strike where the schools would not be expecting.
