Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kaz exited the stream right behind Toan, being carried by his much smaller Valkyrimon and following Toan's lead, landing next to the blind tamer. His own digimon de-digivolving back to her ultimate form, a very alluring persiamon. Kaz's other digimon he'd brought with him, was the small viximon hanging onto his shoulder looking around with an air of excitement. She most certainly wasn't a normal viximon but her true powers had yet to be revealed, and were known only by Kaz. Kaz's smithing hammer hung at his side, crafted of chrome digizoid, he had painstakenly forged it. At its base was a loop of metal with a piece of rope tied securely to it. He'd also had a hand in this rope's construction, having woven it around a multitude of chrome digizoid wires, concealing them and making it unbreakable. On his hands was his last and most recent bit of smithing, a pair of plate gauntlets forged of his favorite metal and padded by cloth to make them comletely silent. Kaz stood behind Toan, waiting for him to make the first move.

Draco nodded, it seemed the angels like to get their hands into a little of everything. Considering they were the 'good' of the world, he wondered what the Demons here were getting into.
He snapped back to attention as Gatomon yelled at him. He grinned at her. "Sorry, just a little daydreaming." He said, standing up and walking over to the small boy, having very few paternal instincts he grabbed the child by the scruff of his collar and pulled the boy to his feet, before throwing him over his shoulder.

Kaz noticed it instantly, and spoke his mind to Toan, "It's too quiet, there's nothing moving out there, no sounds. Where I come from, this means a couple of things, but all of them are bad. So keep you're guard up." Kaz kept his eyes peeled and his ears alert, making sure to watch his digimon too. He knew that she would most likely notice something first with her much keener senses.

Kaz nodded, but looked genuinely shocked when he brought out his digivice and it started emitting it's sounds. He moved up next to Toan and said in a hushed tone, "You may want to consider letting Astamon hold that. While it may help you know exactly where we are, it gives away our posistion to anything else. So rather than let yourself get hit by a surprise attack maybe let Astamon hold it because I think he can deal with whatever initial strike that might come our way, better than you might. Just a thought." Kaz moved back to his previous position following Toan.

"That assumes a power based attack versus a more precise one, but it's your choice." Kaz kept walking, making sure to stay about 5 steps behind Toan for now.

"You never said I couldn't be reasonably cautious. However we can continue in silence for now if you would prefer."

Gatomon scoffed, watching Draco with both anger and amusement as he threw the tiny boy over his shoulder like an angered Gorillamon mother, but she said nothing. The felines lips curved into a silent smirk as she turned and walked down the hallway once more
“Let´s get the kid some help, and YOU need some lessons in parenting. This will definitely be a fun day!”
The hallway moaned in reply but the figure caught in the thick red carpets were apparently dazed and the paintings on the wall were now on the floor after the harsh wind knocked them down from their seats on the walls. Blood dripped from the mirror as if it was weeping for it´s lost prisoner but the champion digimon did not as much as look back as she and Draco finally left the tower behind. Gatomon turned and gestured for Draco to follow her, they turned down another hallway towards a staircase cut out of black marble and oak wood ornaments, Gatomon watched Draco carefully, making sure that the little boy over his shoulder was safe as they walked down the steps and entered a strange… beautiful hallway. The walls were a comfortable golden brown and red ceramic flowerpots hung in thick black strings from the ceiling. It was like something right out of Alice in wonderland, the flowers were enormous, crawling up and down the walls like thick layers of ivy. A sweet honey like scent hung in the air, spread by the many flowers blossoming all around them, unfolding as they walked past. There were white petals everywhere on the floor, covering the ground like a blanket of snow, and white flower petals fell around them like pure white snow. It was… beautiful.. Red, black and white flowers grew around them, blossoming in all their glory and reaching out with leaves and thorns towards the Draco and the boy like the questioning fingers of children.
He could almost hear their silent laughter, the warm voices asking ´What is that?´ as they caressed Draco´s arms with brief touches. Draco did not know if it was his imagination or if the flowers truly turned their heads towards them as they passed by.
When Gatomon spoke it broke the moment, the air cleared of petals and the flowers withered and died out, leaving lifeless thorns and stalks in their place… Had Draco imagined it all? Where the flowers ever truly there in the first place?
“I was going to take you to Kaya but the little guy needs a babysitter until you´ve got some training and a few facts about being.. well… his owner.. And you need to know something about his breed. I suspect that Myotismon or Piedmon will know, they are the bookworms after all”
The cat chuckled
“Don’t tell them I said that though”

Kaya chuckled, a warm smile lighting up her face as she threw herself onto the bed next to Richter
“Good cause I might kick your a**!”
The girl rolled over onto her back and stared up at the ceiling above and her smile faltered for just a moment
“I know this place is.. different Richter. And the next couple of days will probably be a little hard on you, especially when the other find out about you and Nagato´s friendship..”
The tamer turned her head towards the young man
“..but I promise that it will get better. And you´ll always have me, even if the others bully you or say nasty things… and they will. I´ll be there to kick their asses”
She nudged his shoulder with a huff
“Not that you need it big guy, but still”


Toan and Kaz had wandered around in the thick fog for quite a while now, blind and deaf to the world outside. The presence of evil, of pain and loss, hung in the air and filled their mouths with the taste of blood. A branch broke somewhere in the distance and the weight of something heavy shifted.
Footsteps circled them, getting louder and louder as it approached. Something growled at them as glowing eyes appeared in the fog and when the thick white curtain parted they found themselves facing..
… a tiny Tyrannomon baby, no taller than a Gabumon.. The innocent baby-blue eyes widened in surprise
“Mommy?”

Toan had stopped in his track as he heard foot steps getting louder and closer. Something was approaching them. With a quick movement, he switch off his digivice, stopping the bells.
Astamon got out his gun and begin to load it with bullets "Toan, get behind m-"
Toan shut him up by putting his hand to his mouth and going shhhhh. He then turned his attention to the mist waiting. A few moment later and the Tyrannomon step out calling them mommy. Astamon lower the gun, but only by a few degrees. "Toan..." he called but Toan ignore him as he walked toward the baby Tyrannomon
"Sorry little guy, but you got the wrong person. Can you help us out a bit, we're trying to find Spiral castle. Do you know where it is?"
