Broken felt the air around him become alive as soon as Gaia's visage shimmered with an emerald radiance. The atmosphere buzzed with an energy that made his skin tingle and his heart race.

Vines and roots sprang from the ground like tentacles, winding around her body with a vitality that seemed to draw all the energy in the area toward her. As her lips curved into a knowing smile, Broken noticed a shining ring on her finger. It glowed so brightly that it seemed as though the entire world was being sucked into that tiny piece of jewelry.

"I will seal away some of my powers, and you can unlock them as you grow stronger," she said.
