Welcome to Gaia! ::

A lone figure stood near the edge of the training field in the early morning air. The Sun had barely begun to rise, it's warm rays not yet reaching the patched earth where the Priestess lingered, but it would, soon. The sun would rise, and the birds would sing, long and loud, before falling quiet again. Nergui stood there, hands together, and she soaked up the temporary quiet, the crisp air, the peace that was so hard to come by these days.

Why, child. Why.

Her cheek twitched, expression shutting down into harder lines. It had been quiet, for once, the murmurs had sank into the static of background noise, and now they rose up again. A wave to drag her back under.

No escape. Never never.

Another twitch, and her lips curled, drawing back from her teeth. A low hiss escaped through clenched teeth, and as her hands fell apart her blade filled filled her palm. She gave a frustrated snarl, turning on the ball of her foot, and drove the dark blade into the face of the nearest practice dummy.
