simply. wow.

well, first after going into this gateway, it was insane, a world that i thought only in books. I entered into a lush forest full of life. and beautiful forests, glowing down to a limpid pool of aquamarine emerald water. the sky was not blue but a pale green with a teal-blue tinge. something unimaginable. i decided to camp out near the lake, in a tree obviously(safety purposes) After I had roused, i wandered through the forest. to find a small cottage. i left it alone that day, but still i had found nothing this day. besides that cottage.

the gateway.

After pondering how to get myself into the Lab, again. I decided to frankly charge in and go straight to the "arch." Doing so, i found myself, on the other side of the arch. In a final fit of rage., finding that my only idea of hope was destroyed. i lashed out at the closest thing. (this being the massive archway) my hand crushing into the walled surface. Grimacing i continue to press in.
*click*
the sound resonated throughout my ears. Instantly looking back at the "arch" which i had just punched. It was glowing, and thats the shorthand version. It actually gave off its own energy presence. looking around, i lunged into the newly "activated arch." don't remember much past that but ill go back into it tomorrow. it was pretty sweet looking, so ill keep you waiting.

Red Dusk

Yesterday was, well. a rather grievous day for the Lab. after thoroughly searching the Lab, and i mean thorough, as in any of those lycanthropes that got in my way, will not be joining us later. But still i found nothing. Only much i found out is that scientists are complete pansies. They are so rich, and speak so big, but have no spine.(one of them actually doesn't anymore)
Oh yeah, did i forget to mention that i figured out i can control and create fire. Pyrokinesis. its pretty sweet. i was able to summon up a ball of fire about the size of a house. and thats when i puked my guts out. but I'm still learning, so its ok. i also was able to engulf my sword in flames, and it helped, since it was more the fact is was energy residing on the edges of my katana.
Still...i have no idea where to go. the guys are still dead.NO they aren't!(my mind keeps telling me) or incapacitated in some way out there. preferably the later. I am still thinking that something has to do with that giant Archway thing in the courtyard of the Lab, it seems like a gateway, mostly because of its intricacy. Ill check it out tomorrow.

A rescue, escape and loss

we got inside the Lab (Fang and I) as i said before, its really creepy. so its scarier going in it, than just thinking about it. after about an hour after midnight, we got in, walking down the long halls to get to the area where the "patients" were held. We found Alanna and Sophie, and they were accompanied by a shorter, highly attractive girl. she had brown hair, and blue eyes, about 5foot 3inches. slightly tan skin. she garbed herself in baggy clothing. "Who's this?" I asked Alanna.

"Her name is Aasera, we don't know much about her. since she came in after we did."

"Ok then, lets get moving" ordered Fang.

Again, we went to the "armory" room that Fang and I found. Scrounging about we found a staff for Sophie, Alanna preferred to grab a pair of knuckle-buster gloves, Aasera came back to us with a pair of kodachi(slightly shorter than a short sword, but the width is less.)
so anyways, it took us about a half-hour to get out. and right now, were camped out about two miles from the complex. catching some sleep.

when we woke, actually when i awoke. i looked around. to find that everything was perfectly upturned and catastrophic, and to add to that. there were trails of blood leading off in multiple directions. Oh God no! let them not be dead. But every sign direction showed death, no one could lose that much blood and live. I'm all alone now... just me, as it was in the beginning... no.Damn it! NO! tears now streaming down my face. They can't leave me now. We just got out! DAMN IT! Everything was going smooth, we were going to go to some place in California, and live a smooth some-what normal life. Screaming now "WHY NOW!!" I ran through the forest and cut down everything in my path. until i came to an old tree. Which i could not cut in one slash. I began to hack at it, venting my frustration. Tears blotting my vision, as I fall back from exhaustion.

the next morning, I flew to the one place that I might find the answers. That one gateway. That kept appearing in papers we found at the Lab. So flew straight to the Lab.

Inside

I got inside the Lab. A large scientific complex, blueish-green tiles, with a very eery asylum-like appearance. Large iron doors, that go to who knows where, and cages with other experiments everywhere. I wasn't able to find the girls, but i have an idea that, the big elaborate arch out in the courtyard is more than decoration. Since a scientific laboratory has no need for artistic flair.

The lab has many complex halls, and stairwells, with many cages in most of the rooms. It is a five level structure.(above ground), and I'm guessing at least 3 levels below ground. a very plain box-building outside.

thats about all i can think of for explaining it, hope your mind handles the rest.

brief overview--for those of you who are confused

Fang-Long(as in maybe to his waist) white hair, 6'4". blue eyes. Tall and Lean, with white angelic wings hovering behind him. (thats about all i can say to describe him)

Me(Koen)- neck length black hair with red streak highlights(unruly, and downwardly spiked) 6'0'. somewhat broad shoulders. misty-Grey eyes, scar in the shape of a flame on my right hand and cheek. and black demonic looking wings on my back.

Alanna- as of the moment, were not sure, but she has brown hair, about 5',7' blue eyes. small structure, but well built.

Sophie- 5', 5", green eyes. black hair with blue highlights. smaller structural build


-----------------------------------------
and now, I'm pretty sure that I'm going insane. i almost flew into multiple cliff faces. i could have sworn that it was an open clearing. on a lighter note. Fang and I got right outside The Lab. and we are developing a plan for getting in.

at that night, i took a pocket knife. wanting all the pain in my head to go away. i couldn't take it anymore. I knew that they wanted me. So why not give them a major disappointment. delving the knife into my forearm, slicing across. i hissed in pain, as to not wake Fang. Three strokes for luck. ah, not as bad as before. with my mind focused on the physical pain. i was able to stair up at the stars. letting it all drift away, lulling myself to sleep in slow relaxing breaths.

I had awoken in a jolt. Forgetting the actions from the previous night. Readjusting my long black coat, pulling up my hood, and raising my green coats collar, hiding the lower half of my face. I woke up Fang. and told him to help me figure out an idea to get in.

and here we are trying to make a plan...
