Greeks believed that an oath sworn to Gaia was unbreakable and strong, as no person could escape from the earth herself.
--
I tried to capture the earthy, plant essence of Gaia, rather than the motherly being, covered with flowers and fruit.
The gold is kind of a symbol, in the fact that even though Hades is usually recognized as the king of all metals in the earth, Gaia IS the earth, therefore she holds it all. xD
I hope that made sense.

Hihi all! Sorry i went to lie down for a bit ...

@Hayne - Yes you may only enter 1 if you wish, and no not necessarily there's no way that i can check whether you have that item or not. So go hell for broke. I'd prefer you to be using your own avatar though not something out of MAC. :)

Thanks for the entrys thus far i'll have a look over them shortly and add em up :)
