Welcome to Gaia! ::

☮Sitting on top of a desk, James listened to what the older boy had to say. Things started making sense, or at least as much sense as anything could make nowadays. She did have to wonder who the other two members were and where they were. "You know, I always thought of myself more like a raven," James said, keeping her head low to hide the smile that burst through. "I kid, I kid!" she exclaimed, looking at them. "I'll be the Eagle," she added before going over to stand with the others.☮

As all four students stepped up Ronyo smiled and chuckled as they responded with the idea of their house. It was great they felt they could fulfill that roll but in truth the task was much more than that. They had heard everything he had said though and given the chance to leave so now they were locked in and they would be the next generation of the Chimera Club. Ronyo nodded to Jane and then turned to the four and closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"You have all made your decision and now we will continue on. Now that you are willing to take on this responsibility know that it does not always mean winning. If the only way for the school, the students, or both to win, succeed, or move on is for you to lose then that is what you do. Look at the people standing with you as you take this mantle up, look at the ones who are joining with you. These are your comrades in arms, your teammates, and your only backup at times. Working together as one is the key to the Chimera Club, which is why the beast was chosen as our symbol in the first place. Now repeat after me.



This is the code and the backbone of the club, what you will strive to uphold and represent everyday from now on. You will represent the good within the school and must always look to portray that image and idea. Never give in to temptation, do not look for revenge, do not seek answers in the darkness for they will only trick you, and never turn you back on a brother or sister of the club. Now are there any questions before we move on? I will introduce you to a great asset to the club who resides on this very floor, and in time you will be introduced to a friend to the club who has helped us through much."

"Oh boy, a mantra," Sam said with a comic smirk, but he repeated the saying all the same. "We are the Chimera Club; courageous, intelligent, cunning, and loyal.
Forever shall we safeguard, protect, and toil.
No task to great or too small for us to undertake.
Honor, duty, integrity, and honesty we will hold to ourselves and never forsake."

☮James sat on her desk, looking at everyone that she would be working with. They were the Chimera Club, a group of people named after a creature that had many heads. All of the heads had to work together, otherwise the beast would be able to do little more than argue against itself. If their purpose was to protect Hogwarts, trust would be a vital asset. The Ravenclaw only vaguely knew the others who were now her "siblings". She supposed that she would live up to that title by her seventh year. She hoped it did not take that long, but her seventh year was a good goal.

"We are the Chimera Club; courageous, intelligent, cunning, and loyal. Forever shall we safeguard, protect, and toil. No task to great or too small for us to undertake. Honor, duty, integrity, and honesty we will hold to ourselves and never forsake," James repeated the mantra softly, taking time to think about the words that would guide her. She wanted to be sure she understood them. It might take time for them to sink in, since she was so stubborn, but that was a goal to work toward. She sat patiently waiting to go meet their ally, wondering what the path ahead of her may have in store for her.☮
