-Chapter 4-
___________________________________________________________________________
Gaia was talking with a handsome guy who looked almost like a Roman
god when the group arrived inside the Fortress of Hope. She was so in
love as they talked. It was amazing that she noticed when they entered
and was able to compose herself temporarily. "We have six new residents
on Hope Island, Planeteers. Five are new additions to your group, making
it an even ten with the addition of two young men and three young women.
This one, however," refering to the Roman-like guy, "is Gaius, an old
friend of mine- he, too, is a spirit of Earth." After they had all greeted
Gaius and introduced themselves, Gaia continued.

"The other five have already arrived and will be meeting with you
at anytime today. Each of them will need you all to make them feel very
welcome. You may continue with whatever you were doing before this, but,
if any of the new Planeteers decide to join, please let them- it may take
some of them a longer time than others to get use to this place. You are
now dismissed to continue with you're activities." This did not sound at
all like Gaia, but none of them questioned her, nor did they want to- she
was in love and it was good to have her in this mood. Whatever they did,
however, they would all obey her wish to let the five new Planeteers get
in on the fun. If they didn't, she would not be very happy about it.
