Less on one
There was a cool breeze from nowhere and Tako came to a halt. View went soaring forward still clutched to his palm. The group gave a giggle and paused mid air as well. Intrigue is the minds best form of discovery. Asleh tilted his head in question. Atte in his arms, Teo scoffed then took off west once more. Atte pointed up, Teo looked up and the party found themselves surrounded by sky. Sky, a real sky. A sky that looked like it was on fire. Indigo's and rouges like they'd never seen before. The wind pulled them west. West and they couldn't stop. Atte began to cry in fear of something unseen. "Something bad is just beyond the horizon. There has to be, this only happens when she cries." Atta whispered. Keep from crying! Teo bellowed down on Atte. Sniffle. Sniffle. Then more tears. Everyone was silent in anticipation hold the sound of rain coming from Atte. View's hand hurt and she whispered to Tako. He was flying to fast. I can't stop Tako cried out. Something pulling me. I as well shouted Asleh. West, west. STOP BEING SO FRUSTRATING! A young familiar voice echoed about the sky. At that moment every member of the party became loose. Atte halted her tears, well aware that they were doing no good. Atta fell from Asleh and Teo let free Atte. West they were all being pulled west. Tako let free views hand. View fell behind. Behind. Then fell. Like a rock in warm water.

Laughing
Tug, Tug.. A disdainful voice bellows out echoing off the walls and surrounding the group. View tilts back and Teo appears to be braced pulling with all his might on that small vine clinging to the stone barrier. Arguing with the maze wall is he. The party laughs and a strawberry falls upon Teo's head. Tako falls over holding his belly, hoping this gesture will keep him from dieing of laughter. Views attention turn to the sky. Soon enough the entire group is in the air Teo still clinging to the vine. The vine refusing to come off the wall. Tako swims down through the air and snatches up the fallen strawberry. Alas before study can be placed upon it the fruit is pulled away and eaten with a chuckle by the unseen. Atte laughs and Atta, startled, flees behind Asleh. There is no freighting aura or evil presence felt. There is only the sudden feeling to move west. Atta hops up on Asleh's back for the ride. Teo drops the coil of green rope then snags Atte up in his arms taking flight to the west. View shrugs, takes up Tako's hand and follows the others.

Knowing
Round one corner.. Then another.. Dead end.. Go back take a left.. Left.. Right.. A shadow covers the path and all those upon it. Tako and Asleh take a stance. Look about sences the bad and Atte clings to view. Atta runs in front of the boys and laughingly pretends to cast a spell. One that can save us! .. From.. um.. Badness! Teo drops the vine and pushes Atta to the ground and gives her a brief lecture soon enough interrupted by this darkness becoming darker. Atte squeals. Tako's warm voice sooths Atte and reassures her safety. View hugs Atte. Blind another squeal is heard. Gone! What just happened!? View fears saying so aloud. Atte has fallen from grasp. The darkness grows colder. Asleh's voice rings out. There's no way back. Forward is the only way! Trembling view searches through the darkness for the small Atte. Atte.. View whispers her name. A sharp tug to the leg pulls view to the ground. Tries to yell out does view but not a sound is formed. Something is winding it's way around views body. Push it, bite it, rub it with a rock.. Nothing works. This smooth soft vine slowly covers view and then there is only warmth. Tired.. warm.. happy.. but.. there is no breath taken.. There has to be a way out. View remembers the cold and the dark outside this bubble of warmth. Atte disappeared. What if.. She fell the same as view.. She could be.. No, she isn't. She wont die. No.. NO!! A pulse or light pierces this darkness and a flash of blue turns all that is to all that was. The full group stands in a circle. Each at a time opening their eyes. The sun shines down in the maze. Teo takes up the vine and the party continues their quest west..

Finding
Atta finds her way to her fellow companions tugging view behind. They stand in query among what now seems to be the depth of a great, old forest. View turns about without hold of Atta's hand. Wonder.. Wonder. Sight wanders off some then runs back to the others. Gata is no where to be found. Tako raises idea and Atte laughs. Thus he has a seat. Naturally, view has what seems to be a seat as well. Atta rolls her eyes, yet keeps herself from insulting such an idea. Atte turns and points as Teo catches up to the others. Asleh smiles and nods to the boy out of breath. The blond haired menace lets out a heavy sigh and pats Atte on the head as if she were his pet. The lass wiggles her head and slips away soon sitting beside Tako. Atta sits on View's lap explaining Tako's idea to Teo. Asleh looks about then runs off. Alas, sight finds that not another soul noticed. View tries to mention, but Atta is to much in depth of how foolish Tako's plan is. Conversation continues, Teo has a seat. A few hours pass and Asleh returns to tell of a village not far off. Each stand in amazement of his voice. Atta laughs and pokes fun at the small lad. Asleh chuckles and runs off. View follows and infers that the rest will do the same. After some time of unend running Asleh slows his pace. Some how he's leads them into a maze. He questions this out loud and the others laugh again to hear his strong, kind voice. View quarks a brow and notes a single line of vine running along the wall of the tall shrub walls. Ergo sight follows the stem. As does the rest of the party. Tako begins a song and Atte joins in. Soon enough the whole crew is singing. Teo pulling the vine off the wall as the group travels..

Journeying
Tako's feet hurt, as do views. Alas the path this venture lies on is breathtaking. In to good a manner. Gata is explaining the reasoning but no one hears. This garden is far to beautiful to listen to words of rhyme. Tako is trying to smell all the flowers along the way. Atta is attempting to get Asleh to speak. While Atte chases some sort of butterfly. View turns up to Teo, whom appears to be in deep thought. His brows raise a moment then he grins and lets free views grasp. Asleh stops as does everyone else. Everyone but Gata that is. Teo smiles stepping before the small, shy, blue eyed boy. He waves his arms through the air and a rather large dandelion appears in his left hand. Smooth, he pushes it to Asleh. Whom in turn blushes and lifts one brow in puzzlement. Teo smiles politely and his eyes glow. Shrugging and seeing no harm Asleh takes the odd blue flower. Within seconds of Teo letting go and Asleh touching, the flower explodes into a burst of smoke and electricity. Everyone gasps and Teo falls to the grass laughing. The dust clears and Asleh is standing silent, covered in soot and holding a crisp flower stem. He drops the stem, then proceeds to take off his glasses and clean them. View steps forth in wonder of Asleh's well being. Asleh smiles putting his glasses back on as he laughs and runs after Gata. Tako runs after him, Atte following. Atta watches view then turns to Teo. She slinks before him and he smirks. She winks to the green eyed boy then swiftly punches him in the gut, quickly taking off after the others snagging views own palm as she goes..

Questioning
Glances are exchanged among this group. View nods and steps forth toward the small creature. Sight turns back to the others and notes brows raised in query and amazement. Teo leans in forth to Pavat as if to question this petit new friend. Tako shrugs and takes hold of views own hand. He runs a few steps west pulling view behind, then stops and turns view about to watch the others. Asleh smiles to view and joins this party. The twins give a sweeping glare to one and other then run after Tako. Gata's eyes gleam and she leads the venture. Each follows this somehow all knowing young lass in silence. Pavat runs ahead stops turns to nod then speeds past the horizon. Soon enough the small fire ball is beyond sight. View moves forth a bit hand still held by Tako. Ponder runs through the mind and thus one turns back to note Teo staying behind looking about questioning which way he should go. View lets loose of Tako's hold and laughing runs to take Teo's hand. Seemingly smiling view takes off ahead of the rest..

Settling
Wandering in looking about. The sky is made of tin the ground is real, the soil is soft. Sight notices life. All of them standing in a circle talking, laughing, waiting.. A young blue haired boy turns to meet gaze then walks closer to view. View nods and out stretches a palm in hello. He has a name, it is known. His palm leans forward to touch views own.. "This will be your escape, lad" Thus Esclad vanishes from sight. View looking about finds its way to the circle of life. Night black eyes, the Green haired boy of air, Tako.. The twins Atte and Atta of cherry red hair. Atte standing just some shorter then the sister. Her eyes a deep blue with a star shine glow. Her hair split in two, an oodango on the right and her hair falls free on the left . Atta of sky, her hair up tight in two perfect dumplings with braids falling from their seems. An arrogant golden haired boy Teo of thunder, and a shy, short, navy haired boy Asleh.. Voices are passed back and forth, laughter pours from the soul and well, everyone seems to be having a jolly good time. From behind a whisper touches the back of views ear. A young girl with an almost blinding aura steps forth as all turn in notice. Vibrant blue hair highlighted with the color of lily. Her hair falls as her aura dims, curling around her face. Four ribbons of leather fall with it, two of indigo and that left of brune. Her name is Gata of earth she brings with her a small creature just bigger then a cat with round ears that, when perked, reach to the edge of views waist. He comes from behind the Gata girl, her brune, fox like tail runs back over his fur and he winks. This small creature's tail's tip seems to be ablaze and he has some deep star like marking on his forehead. He puffs a breath of smoke which quickly turns into what seems to be a rose. Pavat he tells his name. Not P-sama, Papa, Vatty, Pav or what air else you fools can think of.. just Pavat. Is that so hard? To the west is Kato will you follow?

Gathering
Up. Fear shoots through like ice, tears are running down these cheeks. Pulled out of bed. Climbing up the stairs, the cold, creaky stairs. Out the doors into the snow. Barefooted, the wind blows. Looking toward the stars, one shines more brightly then the rest. For some reason the sky is ablaze. Don't wonder why, just push through the bushes and through the snow. Halted, waiting at the end of the path. Standing in the chill, warmed by a light glow.. Surrounded by this. A wall of words forms all around, breathing low fire the sound resounds. Transformed and transported, standing before many. Judging, humming, whispering low. One strokes his long gray beard, he is known, but not at all. Waves his hand does he and sight turns to a large door. Vision views an elevator from within. These doors open to garden..
