The Iron Gate Options

[King_Inu]

Troy walked upon the Iron Gate.He saw blood but didn't see Jordan.
Somebody must've seen him!HOSPITAL!!!!
Troy ran off.

[Angel-kun]

A young girl, about the age of nineteen, slowly walked through the gates of Aurora Village. She sighed, whas she ever going to find that one village where she would belong? She huffed then slowly calmed down, it was her fault that she wasn't really accepted, and that she left home. Tarienn May Ayano wasn't in a very good mood while she thought about this, so she started to mutter to herself, then kicked up the dust that quietly rested on the path. "Hmph." Tarienn stomped then heard a voice calling out her name. "Tari-kun, be careful, and good luck!" Yelled a elegant and feminine young girl, as she left. This made Tarienn smile, but just slightly. "Airah....sheesh." Tarienn smirked, then resumed walking, walking toward her new future. But, still, this future of hers could still reject her....and that is what Tarienn was afraid of.

Rain. You'd think it would snow by the middle of Winter... Surely... there has to be snow in the next village I come across..... Claude picked up his pace, eager to leave Aurora for a brief while. Normally, he'd stock up in the village, but he hadn't grown close enough to anyone to trade yet..
I wonder if that old woman's still around.... Hope she won't give me another mangled scarf to sell. They're hard to pass off as new and warm..

[Neko]

Hikaru went to the iron gate but there seem to be nothing there, he thought. After he walked around for a bit, he went somewhere else.

[Takumi]

"Gah-ha!" Kurosaki leaped through the gate and into Aurora.
"So this is my new place, huh?" He started to whistle.
Kurosaki came across an apple tree and shook it.
Three apples fell and Kurosaki put 2 in his backpack.
"I wonder where to next!" He said as he ran off.

[busy farm girl]

Jackie walked up to the gate and walked though, not looking back at the quiet town. Her destination...South.

[Thursday]

Stumbling back through the gate with her usual clumsiness, Jane paused to glance sheepishly around at surroundings which over the years she had grown accustomed to, whilst hoping silently that there had been no-one around to witness her blundering ways. A wave of relief rushed through her as she found herself alone, and with a weak cough she begin to brush down her clothing with meticulous care.

Taking a moment to breathe in the cool, refreshing air of the village, she carefully pushed one slender hand into her coat pocket. As her fingers brushed the piece of paper they had groped blindly for, they caught a loose hold of it, and carefully rescued it from it's dark prison. Cradling the piece of paper - which had obviously been folded and unfolded countless times - in both hands, Jane opened it once again, and read the written words with the ghost of a smile resting on her lips. Carefully folding the paper up once again she stored it back in her pocket, and set off in the direction of the swamp.

'Home, sweet home...'

[Suomi]

Mikako walked down the path that led to the Iron Gate. She carried a huge rucksack with her, and an electric guitar bag on her back. Balancing with the luggage and an umbrella in her hand was quite challenging. The place looked nice, with about-to-blossom cherry trees. It was already February, so it wouldn't take long for the rest of the snow to melt. "I better find a place to stay at", the twenty-five-year-old mumbled. "An inn would do, I guess."
She opened the gate and entered her new home, Aurora Village.

[Apple Jacks]

Apple runs back through the gate and runs to her farm.

[Links double]

inack hurried on he knew he was going the wrong way but o well. He knew prefectly well

[dunkel]

"Brrr....." A shiver ran down his spine, split to his arms and legs, and finally traveled to his fingertips and toes. "One freek'n cold day!" He walked a bit faster, hoping that there was a store with a canopy or something for him to stand under for a while. "..But dere's no snow still!"
Clip-clop... Clip-clop.. "What's wit dat, hein? Snow-less in de middle of winter!" He gave the large gray horse a pat on the neck, as if encouraging it to continue walking. "I ought to complain to de Mayeur, hein? How's it sound? Y'wit me?" Claude asked, excitement filling his eyes. He set down his cart so that he could properly ruffle the horse's mane. You're a sad excuse for a horse, you are....
"Well, come on now. Don't want to miss de Mayeur!" The salesman picked up his cart again, and continued to walk.

[Aqua Mythic]

Aqua approached the iron gate with his caravan. He had big plans this spring, and for that he need to pick up his farther's spring seeds. He left Aurora Village and headed for Forget-Me-Not valley. He would be back the next day.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day Aqua came back with is father's spring seeds. He then went to his farm.

[Nicholas]

Nicholas approached the large iron gates with rugged, black backpack on with only a few days worth of clothes. Nicholas wore faded, blue jeans and a green T-shirt. His lightly brown hair, which naturally swayed to the left, reached to his shoulders and curled under.

In Nicholas' left hand was a case that resembled one of a trumpet and indeed was. Nicholas was a fan of trumpet playing but had only started playing when given one from a friend. Nicholas' right hand held tightly onto the leash of his black, brown-pawed, Dachshund Guss.

"Easy Guss, we're almost to our new home. I'm really excited? What about you"

Guss barked excitedly in response to Nicholas.

The gates opened out toward Nicholas and following it, a warm breeze welcoming Nicholas and Guss.

"Well, I guess this is it."

Nicholas and Guss make their way in towards the village with the gates closing behind them

[Takumi]

Mark looked down at his shoes. The sun shown off of it. He took in a large sigh and kicked the dirt. He had used up all his money to get here. Now he had nothing.

"I need to get a job..." Mark mumbled under his breath.

It was going to be a long day.

[Icyanimal]

Point walked into town and looked around "Looks nice..." Then he picked up his bags smelled
the nice clean air and said to himself "Well...Time to start my new life!"

[Rinn]

A young girl cheerfully walked through the gates to Aurora.
She had a smile on her face, that made others smile too.
"This is so cool!" She jumped up, then continued walking.

[White Mage]

"Take a look at my girlfriend,
She's the only one I got.
Not much of a girlfriend,
I never seem to get a lot!"
Singing off-key as usual, Bryan sung along with the music that was playing on his i-pod. He pushed the pause button on the device and leaned his head back to stare up at the 'Welcome to Aurora Village!' sign. "Fancy name. Bet it's a shit hole!" He smirked as he extended his hand to push open the gate... but it wouldn't budge. "What GIVES?" Kicking the metal frame with his foot, the gate stood its ground and Bryan was left with a sore foot. "Crap..." Leaving him no other option other than to climb the obstacle.
Twenty minutes later...
Though he was not skilled in climbing things, twenty minutes was a pretty good time for climbing Aurora's gate. He brushed some dust off of himself that had stirred when he jumped from atop the gate, and made his way along into the village. Idiots... if they're trying to keep someone out, they fail miserably.

[ShadowBTN]

"Man.." Riley murmured, his hands in both pockets. Riley shook his fingers through his brunette hair and moaned. If I wanted to walk two miles... I wouldn't. He thought, taking his hat off of his head that pearing inside of it. "damn." Riley threw his hat in soe random direction all of a sudden. "Good writtens~" He yelled, with a smirk engraved on his face, between both cheeck bones. Riley's face dropped when the village was nowhere to be seen. This blows. He thought, running now. 8 minutes later, he found a gate and laughed. "Who had a gate to their village?" He asked under his breath. Whatever. Riley looked up and looked at the gate. "..." Riley's hat that he threw was sitting right there on top of the gate. "...I said good writtens." He murmured to the hat. tsktsk. Riley pushed the gate a little. "..." It wouldnt budge one bit. ... stupid. Riley gripped the gate with both hands and heavily pushed. After 10 minutes of pushing and shoving, the door slid open just a bit, but enough for Riley to get through. He slipped through, and kicked the gate, adding "Good Writtens." One more time. Riley put his hands back into his pocket, and started walking. A unusual gust of wind swept by, taking the hat off of the gate, and back onto his head. Aw mannnn. Riley moaned, throwing it off, once more and leaving the venue.

[dunkel]

Water ran down the steel iron bars of the Gate to Aurora, and slowly began its labourous climb over the soft knuckles of a young female. She stared into the village as if she were trapped outside of it, or as if the village was trapped inside itself. When she blinked, the raindrops that had been caught on her eyelashes fell down to the ground below.

She heard the voices behind her talking, their tones rising with every second that passed. She understood each word - or, most of them anyway - but did not understand their sentences. The young girl gripped onto the iron bars tighter, her knuckles turning a pale white. She hated it when they argued. It was unbearable; how can the two people she loved the most ever speak to each other like that? It was hideous, really.

When one of them left, the girl found that she was able to do nothing but cry. Heavy but warm tears streamed down her face faster and faster, mixing in with the rain that fell from the sky. She couldn't muster up the courage to turn around just to see her leave; the one that prayed to the Goddess every day even after everyone else lost hope.

There were many things she didn't understand in this world. For instance, why did everyone end up leaving her? Why did everyone's inner light seem to die off after she revealed to them her secrets? Why wasn't anyone able to understand something as simple as.... well, her?

When she was certain she wouldn't be able to see her mother through the thick curtain of rain, she turned around and ran to her Grandpa, her skinny arms wrapping as far around his round stomach as they could.
"Can we go home, Grandpa? Go home with Mom?"
"No princess, your father said he'd meet you."
"When did he say that?"
"Twelve years ago."
"Is he really coming, Grandpa?"
He found he was unable to answer her; they'd waited by the Iron Gate for so long.

He gently took her arms from around his stomach and crouched down so that their eyes were level.
"I don't want to see him. He sounds like a mean person," she managed to say, her voice slightly cracked.
"But he's your father.."
"I don't even know what his favourite colour is!"
"Hush, Mirla.... I think I see a villager coming. Wipe your tears off your face now, we have to look nice for the villagers."
"Grandpa......," the young girl began again, wiping the water from her face with the back of her hands, "...Are you going to leave me too?"
"Hush... The villager's almost here."
