Too much time on Gaia.......
Hey everyone. If there are no comments on THIS post, then I'll leave ^_^

Anyways, I think I've been spending a LITTLE too much time on Gaia Online.....

Seeing as I wrote this story.

*********
Once, in the land of Gaia, there lived a young boy of a mere thirteen years, known as Epsilon Genesis. He was a pale and sickly lad, but would soon be mutated to the extent that this was not noticable. He had a small home in a treehouse to the west of the sleepy town of Barton. He would often, before his work in devotion of Lord Grunny, wear an OMFG, a strange black hat he saw once while visiting the Isle de Gambino, and bought.

In his time in service to the mighty Lord Grunny, a strange green rabbit-like creature with almost god-like powers, the once humble Epsilon, had been exposed to a large amount of radiation. This altered his appearence and mutated him, to an extent of severe disfiguration. On occassion, mysteriously, and for no reason at all, he may revert to his original appearence for an indefinate amount of time. He was in charge of the re-education of those who were against the rule of Grunny, and worked as a volunteer on the weapons program that had been set up.

Now, you may be wondering "How could such a young man, become part of a revolution?". This is a question that Epsilon often asks himself, while working on his latest weapon, or during a re-education session, usually droning out the "student"'s screams. He has never questioned his devotion to Lord Grunny, but he however has begun to think of searching for the only one greater.

Often, after speaking with the other Grunny-ist's in the "forum", a large multiple corridored building with endless rooms, many with walls decorated with banners, or left plain white, he would venture to a small corridor known as "announcements" and observe the dimmed projections of the gods of Gaia, known as the "admins". Among all these admins, none is more revered or respected than the so called "Emperor God", known as Lanzer. From what the dimmed projections show, he looks very much like any other Gaian, dressed in an assortment of clothes, his Gun Metal Jacket and his trusty G-pin, wielding his mighty hammer to defeat the monsterous creatures known as "errors" which take over the fabric of the Gaian world, infecting the databases, great monolithic beings which connect the threads that weave Gaia together. Many Gaians have longed to have any form of interaction with this "Lanzer", but few have even seen him outside of the projections in his work diary and the announcements.

Epsilon had longed to see him ever since one fated evening, when he had went out hunting along the edges of Barton for any rubble that would be of use in weapons development. He had heard a creaking sound from the northwest and felt a tremor. At first he supposed it was just more rubble rolling down the mountainous hill of Durem's reclaimation facility, but the tremors grew stronger and more frequent. He had turned and to his horror had seen a huge, hydra-esque mechanical monolith staring down at him with three heads staring and grinning menacingly. It bore a single word against it's humanoid torso in deep red. "Sushi". The mightiest database, and evidently, the most corrupt. Each head was comprised of a different coloured metal. To the left, was a steel, green Emeraldback Lion head, to the right, a dark gray leaden Diamondback, and to the center in a deep crimson shade of red titanium, a Rubyback head. Expecting the worst, he had thrown his hands up over his face and turned away in anticipation. He heard rushing footsteps and peeked through his arms, to see a gray-headed man in a long blue coat strike the foul monster with a large black hammer. Knowing the frame of his savior, he had rushed forward, but the falling Sushi obscured his vision, and Lanzer was gone.

Epsilon swore that day that he would find Lanzer. After all, he never got to thank him.

It has been a few weeks since that night, and Epsilon had made up his mind. He packed his things and set off to the east. First stop, Barton, to get some supplies. This would be a long journey, taking him all around Gaia, but he was determined to prevail, and so, flickering back into normality, he set off on his quest......

It's to be continued, so I might post more later.
