Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dalboomoo
A large glass cube floating through the fathoms of space.
Inside this peculiar statistical improbability is a big round ball this isn’t an ordinary ball. This ball happens to harbour life but not just the simple microbe or two no. This life was quite obviously sentient and this life was surrounded by land which would span on for what seemed forever but is more or less a couple hundred miles depending on what country it was.

On this 'ever expansive' land where these big things these sentient beings called Glormphs which where made entirely out of stone and where like large triangles, but legend has it that these Glormphs had a secret life of there own. Obviously this is a load of rubbish but there are things that go on in this world that will be now known as Dalboomoo, that the sentients don't know about but we will come back to them.
The hub of Dalboomoo's Sentient life is a big city called Darin'ahk'toob and in this city where exactly 62345 Sentients, each is different well not really, when it comes to the bottom basics of it there all the same but some are just uglier.

Darin'ahk'toob has 4 districts the first is the Poor district where the Sentient's with the least money live there lives, This district is often described to have an odd smell of wet Lettuce. The second was the Market district where mostly the residents of the poor district would come to work for very poor and disappointing wages. The Market district although filled with poor workers was also full of half-rich owners most of them tend to be portly bearded men with a slight growth problem who would buy, sell & trade items and trinkets from around Dalboomoo always making sure to make a clean profit or a very small loss. The market district also held the lower criminals such as Pick-Pockets & Alleyway men which many a tourist would loose a healthy sum of gold to.

The next district is quite a ... Unique district it is the MagiK district now this is the district is where our story begins but we'll come back to that. Now the MagiK district is a very special place where wonders beyond your wildest dreams would occur, children would climb up the walls to see if they could catch a mage performing a spell, few where so lucky. The MagiK district was kept very well clean by its dwarven gardeners and always looked very beautiful at the centre of this wonderful place was the Lexicon's tower which was an odd tower because it branched of like a tree with turrets and smaller towers sticking out the sides, this the home of all the mages of Darin'ahk'toob

The 3rd district was the District Overall Commodity & Kelvin supplier or The D.O.C.K.S now The D.O.C.K.S was where all commodities from around Dalboomoo would arrive ready to be distributed to the market district, It was also where travellers would park there ships to let there crew relax and drink up there pay in the local tavern. Many a wonder was brought to Darin'ahk'toob via the D.O.C.K.S such as T.E.T.T.A (Trolls for the Ethical Treatment of Trolls Association) and Ponty Mython's Flying circus.

The 4th and Final district of Darin'ahk'toob was the royal district this was where the real rich people lived you know those people you pass on the street that will turn and say ‘Peasant’ if you accidentally on purpose stepped on there smug little foot. This district is filled with exquisite households that legend has it are painted with gold, another load of rubbish. If even a mere scrap of paper was found in the streets there would be at least 2 dwarfs going home un-paid this week, after all cleanliness is next to godliness or is that smugness? At the end of this district is what you would find in all important cities, a palace and this palace was particularly large it was so large you could see it from the bottom of the poor district. In this mighty beast of a building was not a King nor a Queen but a Knight stood in front of the two mahogany thrones with his sword stood on the floor and his hands perched atop the hilt of this mighty blade, this Knight currently was ruling the kingdom and as most would say
"Aye he's doin a right job'im If only we'ad'im durin the old times we'd be'in a better place'n were in now Hick."

Now, Lets start our tale. In the MagiK district, In the Lexicon's tower, in room 4B floor 208 a new device called an alarm clock was fizzing insistently a hand came down on the alarm and the fizzing stopped
"Bugger." Groaned a voice from under the covers soon after a head emerged from under a poorly made pillow, this head was owned by a young man named Matthew Dioxinist, Matthew was an average height male with very short hair and strangely bright blue eyes which even his mother couldn’t explain.
Matthew was a student mage at the Lexicon's tower and had been for 15 years since birth and had always excelled in his lessons in destructive MagiK but when it came to healing or creation he normally ended up blowing the teacher out of a 100 story window.
"Matthew Get up, I enchanted that clock for a reason." Explained Jamie-Leigh firthington Matthews popular and female room mate & close friend. She had long blonde hair that reached below her shoulders, she was as tall as Matthew but was much thinner and when she stood straight she looked almost as if her robe was too heavy for her.
"Remind me again why where the only boy girl dorm in the entire school!"
"Because the master said I’m the only one that’s going to help you with your learning."
"Oh cause your the 100% student with all the glam and all the friends?" Rudely stated Matthew
"Oh shut up you idiot and get dressed we might have been sharing this dorm for 4 years now but I have made an effort on never having seen you in your all together."
Matthew rolled out of the bed hitting the floor with a thud; he dragged himself to his dresser climbing into a pair of another new invention called Jeans.
"Matthew your not allowed to wear those." Pointed out Jamie-Leigh who was climbing into her mage robe
"If the teachers don’t like it they can kiss my staff." He said chuckling to himself.
"Heh Half the girls in the school would like to do that."
"There all wannabes that only like me cause I’m what they call 'A rebel'" Matt moaned now forcing on a torn mage robe on over his jeans and under shirt, they both looked at each other and nodded in a strange way to teenagers this means ‘Ok I’m ready so lets go before we get two months of detention.’ They all seem to have their own secret language which mostly consists of nodding and saying ‘ugh’ a lot.

Matthew and Jamie-Leigh hurried down the strange and curvy corridors towards there first lesson which as always on a Thursday morning, was History, this lesson was normally run by Mr Weevle a round portly man who had a hearty chuckle and lovable personality.
The lesson normally consisted of Matthew sat with his head in his book half asleep whilst Jaime-Leigh would be sat upright waiting to answer the next question. The room was pretty similar to all the rooms in the Lexicon’s tower, it was a large room to support the masses of students in each class and the walls were a very dark yet oaken brown which was succeeded with five hours of drinking and a summoning spell gone wrong, they meant for a dragon and got a painter.

A loud rap a tap tapping came at the door and then entered two city guards
"We have come for the boy in the name Dioxinist." one of the guards explained
"Um, Yes er Mr Dioxinist could you go with these men please and Miss Firthington could you go with him to make sure he is safe." Mr Weevle asked with a hint of worry in his voice.
"Yes, Sir Ill make sure he-"
"What’s that supposed to mean?" Matthew said walking towards the door
"Nothing now just be quiet and follow the guards." Jamie-Leigh said following on behind.

The guards took both Matthew and Jamie-Leigh to the Palace they looked up to the top of this behemoth of a building in awe.
"Why am I wanted by the Knight? I'm a student mage" Demanded Matthew
Jamie-Leigh elbowed him in the side.
"Shut up you'll get us in trouble for asking questions."
Matthew rubbed his side as the guards led them into the throne room where the Knight stood straight his hands perched on the hilt of his amazing blade. The room was a pristine white covered in tapestries telling tales of the past and visions of the future, the two empty thrones were solid marble and seemed to emanate royalty and power, maybe it is just good at absorbing gasses. The long red carpet led under the Knight’s feet and ended at the thrones, even though they were both wearing shoes, the carpet was so comfy and soft you could feel the comfort through anything.
Both Matthew and Jamie-Leigh bowed with respect to the ruler of there home.
The knight’s armour was a mixture of black and white spiralling markings of red led down each plate that was expertly crafted to suit the mighty warrior that donned this armour the helmet resembled a dragons head; at least he was always prepared for a costume festival.
"You may be at ease young ones." The knight’s voice echoed with the need for respect.
"Sir, What is it you ask of me I am only a student mage I'm of no use to a warrior such as yourself." Asked Matt rising from the floor, Jamie-Leigh stood looking at her shoes.
"I need you to go on a journey young one, To Selteab there you will speak with an old sage he will guide you from there." Explained the knight walking calmly between two points repeatedly his boots clicking on the marble floor and a sort of mushy sound as he walked onto the carpet and off it again.
"Wow, I am honoured Sir I will do this as it is your will." Matthew bowed.
Jamie-Leigh was still staring at her shoes quietly breathing. The Knight glanced at her with a strange confused look in his eye.
“Is she ill? I do not understand.” He asked.
Matthew laughed "She has fancied you since she was 12 Sir I didn't know she still did."
The knight smiled "Is this true miss?"
Jamie-Leigh nodded. The Knight got out a small piece of parchment & a pen he scribbled on the parchment and then handed it to Jamie-Leigh with a smile.
"I have been told girls your age like this sort of thing."
Jamie-Leigh looked up and took the parchment with a large grin across her face she thanked him.
Matthew rolled his eyes "Sir, Can we get back to my journey?"
"Yes, a bag of provisions has been provided and a second one is being prepared for your companion here if she is joining you?" The Knight asked.
Matthew turned to his friend and asked.
"Well are you?"
Jamie-Leigh smirked "Of course I’m coming you idiot I’m not missing out on my best friends destiny." She said walking close to his side and smiling brightly at him.
The knight chuckled "Well then both of you will be going tomorrow morning this journey may be a very long one you will want to say good bye to any friends or loved ones before you leave."
