Aki found it the most efficient to walk while talking, so that's just what she did with Rayne. As she was guiding her through the land, Aki laid down the rules very matter-of-fact. "First and most important rule, no one can know you are a human. And I seriously mean that. Humans are forbidden here, and I'm not sure what will happen to you if you are found out. You'll have to pass as a deerling with tiny horns, or a butterfly in training, or an elementalist, or something." She was making the list like numbers with her hands. "Second rule, follow my rules. They could save your life, so just do it."
The land looked so green here, unlike back home on Earth for Rayne. The flora looked practically untouched, and there weren't even sidewalks out here. "Third off, I guess, I should tell you about this place. Kind of weird, since I've never had to explain to someone how the world works... but whatever." Shrugging it off, Aki focused and did her best to explain, "Everyone on this side of the world lives in the kingdom. It used to be underground or something, but whatever- that's not important. There are four cities within the kingdom, four temples, and one giant palace." She moved her arms outwards, as if trying to express how big the palace was. "The palace houses the four kings, as well as their families, and all the royalty in the kingdom. Not much, but still. They all live there together. The temples represent the four elements- air, water, fire, and earth. They are incredibly sacred and holy and ... and, well, it would just be best for you to avoid them."
Her ears flicked, and she took a deep breath. This was taking her a while to explain. "There are all kinds of people living in the kingdom... but no humans. Pronimas are the main race, since our culture sort of founded this place. People with elemental magic are pretty common, too, but not as common as wizards and witches and such- people with magic powers." She tilted her head from side to side, "The four cities sort of represent the four elements as well, but that is just because the ruling king of each city is sort of, like, a descendant of ancient kings in history but I'm not even sure they were real or not. All sorts of people live within the cities- though elementalists tend to favor the city with the temple of their element for whatever reason... and you don't need to know the original city names- people don't call them by their real names much anymore except for royalty. Just... Northern city, Eastern city, Western city, or Southern city work just fine."
"The palace, however, is always called κεντράρω." The way she pronounced the palace was almost foreign- as if in some ancient tongue. "It means "Center" or something, like the center of all life or something, but it's important that you remember its name. If you don't know its name, it will be way too obvious that you aren't from here." She glanced towards Rayne suddenly, looking a tad rushed, "Say it after me, okay? κεντράρω. Kehv... pay... pwuh."
