~{Wide open- the more the merrier}~
Lilith walked slowly along the street, finally deciding to explore the neighboor,adn city. After being stood up for the last time, she knew had to get aquainted, or else be dependent on her undependable aunt to get around. She wasn't about to depend on anyone, muchless that self-absorbed woman.
Shaking her head, she turned along a new street, with no destination in mind, or even where she was, when she spotted it. The most glorious sight she had experianced, yet. The trees grew tall and unhindered, as the grass also created a welcome break from the monotony of the concrete city.
Within seconds she was making her way down one of the many paths, and reached the perfect spot. It seemed deserted, which was a plus,a dn also sheltered from veiw, offering a bit of privacy. She knew it was a public park, but perhaps not many people were drawn to this particular spot. It seemed more unkempt than the rest, the trees growing freely, amonst teh rampant graound vegetaion. THe rocks were a perfect joining to the wildness of it.
She was immeditaly in love.
She slipped her shoes off, and scampered up the nearest rock, nestling herself between it and the rough surface of its nearest neighbor.
She sigh contentedly, and rested her head back agains te rock, staring off into the trees.
As she sat there, she felt a strange tingling feeling, as if coming from the rock. She shook it off, figuring it was just the rough surface, but it still remained, almost as if the rocks were vibrating under her fingertips.

Troy walked through the park, trying to figure out what was wrong with him. It seemed like he was picking up a new power every time he met someone new, and it was starting to weird him out. Walking through the park was a good place for him to forget about his problems, or just think about them.
Suddenly, Troy felt a strange tingling in the ground. He raised an eyebrow, then looked around. There was no heavy machinery that could have been causing it...Only a girl, around his age, standing there. He smiled, then stood next to her. There were only a few other people around, and she was the only girl. She's not bad looking either, he said to himself, then slowly hit himself in the face.
"Hey, have I seen you before?"

Lilith stared at the trees movement as if hypnotized, not realizing that there was no breeze to be moving the leaves, just soothed by the swish and sway.
She jumped in surprise as she heard his voice, and the tree stilled abrubtly as she jerked her gaze to him. Shrugging, she pushed herself from the rock, landing softly next to him, her barefeet landing deep within the grass.
"Possibly," she said, simply. A couple of days ago, she would have either ignored him, or replied with a scathing remark, but lately, she felt the need to interact with others, perhaps it would help her understand herself. "I'm Lilith."

"I'm Troy."
For some reason, Troy felt like he knew the girl very well, though he didn't think he'd ever seen her before. It was more than just recognizing her, however. It was just something about her...Maybe it was her eyes...That made the earth shake.
Shaking his head, Troy just smiled and looked at Lilith. I'm going crazy, he said to himself, running his hand through his hair. Still, there was an off chance that she was like Alex, Lauren, or him. Besides, all of the girls that he was meeting had names that started with an L.
"So, anyway, are you in high school?"

"For now," she replied ruefully. She wasn't sure exactly why, but she had a feeling she wouldn't be in New York for too much longer, maybe it was the dreams she had been having. They seemed to be more fequent, almost every night, and they started featuring a beautiful mountain, enveloped in the clouds. When the clouds broke, she saw the most beautiful graden and lawns, and it felt like home.
"How about you?" she asked. She was curious, which was a bit unusual for her, and she also hoped she didn't sound sruck up or short, she was just a person of few words.

"Yeah, I am. Still, I feel like...No, you'll think I'm crazy."
Troy just smiled, running his hand through his thick, brown hair. He felt like he was meant for something bigger than high school. Like he had to do something important, or extraordinary. He was obviously given his powers for a reason. Still, he only had one year left of high school, and he might as well have finished it.
"It's pretty complicated anyway. You don't want to know."

A genuie smile spread across her face, as she thought of her complicantions in life lately, and wondered if they compared to his.
Probably not, he probably has some major issue she thought. Never know if I don't say something.
"Try me," she said softly, hoping he would share. He didn't remind her off all the other students, he seemed somehow different, and it appealed to her.

Troy looked up at the girl, and sighed. How was he supposed to tell a girl that he just met that he was basically destined to be a superhero? He looked down, kicking rocks across the sidewalk. Finally, he looked up at Lilith, unsure of exactly how to put it.
"Well, I feel like I'm meant for something bigger. Like I have to..."
This was the part that Troy had trouble getting out to other people. He didn't exactly feel like his destiny was something to broadcast, but something about this girl made him feel more comfortable about it. He just looked at her and smirked, giving her a look that told her that he was dead serious, but still found it odd.
"I feel like I have to save the world."

Lilith listened quietly, her face emotionless, even as he searched for the words. She nodded slowly, thinking aobut her own feelings lately, and wondering if he would understand her own feelings of being more, wanting more, and knowing that she would get it.
"I know what you mean," she said softly, and then turned away, taking a couple of steps in the direction of the bunch of trees. She stared into them for a moment, loving the way they swayed, still unaware that there was no wind, unknowing that only when she studied them, that they moved.
"I know I was meant for something else," she continued, still staring into the trees. Suddenly, she knew what she wanted to do, and understood her sudden closeness to nature. "You want to save the world, and I have to save the Earth."

Peter had been given knowlege og the other reincarnated gods. As he was One of the oldest and mightiest. He had been given the names and whereabouts of the other reincarnated souls. He must find them and bring them together. First on the list was a Lilith Urbania the reincarnated Gaia. Poseidon had once been infatuated with her but that emotion was gone. Ironicly Liliths name was composed of the word Urban, the death of the country side.
So as Peter walked through the park he knew he would eventually find her here. the draw of nature in a bg city would be too much for her to ignore. So as he was walking around a lake he saw two poeople on their own a guy and a girl. He saw the girl staring at the tree a it moved but there was no breeze. He knew that it was Gaia.
He quickly walked over to them. "Gai... " he coughed "em Lilith Urbania." he said walking ovwer to her. His trident out of his way for now but could always be called upon. "Lilith am I right." he repeated.

Lilith turned sharply as she heard her name, her face puzzled as she heard her name. She didn't know many people, and wanted to keep it thatway, but for some reason, this guy seemed ot know her, and he also seemed so familiar. She quickly let her penetrating gaze wander over him, trying to get some clue, before she responded. After a few moments, a sly grin spread across her face, and she nodded.
"You have an advantage," she said softly, almost flirting. "I don't know your name."

Peter smiled. "I am Pos... I mean Peter Herper. But you can call me pete." Peter looked at the tree and then at Lilith. "Thats quite a gift you have there Miss Urbania. It would remind me of Gaia the goddess of the earth. Wouldn't you saw." he new that Lilith was Gaia but he hinted to her to let her know who she was even if she didn't.

Lilith blinked in surprise, as she heard the name, and felt a tingle of recollection in her mind. Flashes of memories flooded through her.
She saw a beautiful mountain, lush and green. Untouched by the pollution of mankind. The trees called to her,a nd she could actually hear their voices, in a strange way.
Another scene, of a temple perhaps, with an assembly of people, but they were different, and she could tell just by they way they were lounging around, as unconcerned with the real world as she had always felt.
Suddenly, a woman walked into veiw, and she knew that she knew her. Gaia. She laughed, and then said something to another, and Lilith instantly recognized the other as well.
She jerked her gaze back to Pete, letting the memories fade away. She stared at him incrudeiuosly for several tense moments, knowing that even though they had not looked the same, this was the person Gaia had been speaking with. She smiled, knowing that somehow, she wasn't whom she had always thought, but that it fit, perfectly.
"Pete, is it?" she asked softly, thinking that he had just given her the key to everything she had ever known. "Pleasure. You have a few 'gifts' of your own, correct?"
She knew she was teasing him, baiting as it were, but for some unknown reason, it seemed completely natural.

Peter smiled as she went into a kind of daze. When she came out of it she smiled and asked if his name was Pete."Yes Pete. And yes I do have a few gifts like yourself." Peter then looked at Troy who was standing near Lilith. "And who might this be?" he asked walking slowly over to him.

"Really?"
Troy didn't know what to say. Was this girl like him? And if she was, what could she 'do?' He was curious...Whatever she could do, he absorbed it. He couldn't help but hope that it was a cool power, like flight or super-strength. Just as he was about to ask if she had an 'ability,' a boy walked in. He and Lilith started talking, and the boy then turned to him and asked what his name was.
"Hey, I'm Troy. Troy Russell."
Troy couldn't help but feel somewhat invaded. The guy didn't do anything wrong...It was just Troy's nature. He raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms in front of his chest, but still managed to keep a calm look on his face. We were hitting it off so well, until this guy showed up...Now, I'll have to figure out her power on my own. He just shook his head, deciding that the guy wasn't hurting anyone.
"And you?"
