Welcome to Gaia! ::

On the Bridge there were banks and banks of pannels, switches, controls, gauges, levers, and just about anything one could immagine on an Airship's Bridge. Mr. Thorne nodded to Aaris, nt saluting as he was currently maning the Wheel. "Mr. Thorne, our heading is set, then?" He revieved a quick 'Yes sir'. "Good."
"My Lady, come over here." He walked around the banks of contols to the huge clear picture Frame window in the front of the control car. Down below them, the various sights, smells, and lights of the River Village were fading farther and farther away. One of the wonderful things about Airships were that they could, and often did, take off and rise without those on board even feeling it.
Up above them, the pale moonlight shone on a round cloud.. That wasn't actually a cloud. It was actually another airship. In fact, th entire sky above the River Village was full of Airships-The Wind clan's Fleet! Nearly half of the Fleet, joined by the Flagship, Araris' Espiriter, they were all headed Northward. The rondevouz above the River Village was complete, and the fleet was headed to their new destination. From the Bridge they could only see a few airships below them, but as the Espiriter rose up, it became obvious how many ships there were

"I am sorry, My Lady. Orrigionaly, we had planned for little involvement of the River Clan. Simply as a Rondevouz point, and..Well, I hadn't planned on being stalked by a foxish little devil. So, to prevent you from letting ayone know what I had been up to, I had to dispose of you, somehow... But rather than killing you, I figured I would be nice. So, I simply had to take you with me. So, know as far as the rest of the River Clan is concerned, this ship is headed right back to the Wind Clan, alone, having unloaded its Cargo, and taken none on in return. I truely am sorry for this, My Lady, but you have nothing to worry about. We shall return you to your Clan as soon as our Mission is finished." He smiled apologeticly. It seemed he truely did regret having to take her along, but this was obviously tooimportant to risk anything else. "Who knows...Perhaps you can Help me." He grinned and winked, before turning to Mr. Thorne.
"Mr. Thorne, level us off at 2000 feet, and set our heading 5 degrees westward of our current course. Radio the Scout Ships to be on alert for signs of the Enemy, and put the rest of the fleet on watch."
He turned back to Rhea. "Now. If you are the least bit tired, I would suggest you get some rest. We shall let you use the Korumi Stateroom, our most requested suite. If you require anything else, simply let us know."

"Tell me, My Lady? What need they be protected from? Wolves? Yes, I'd agree with you there. But perhaps you haven't noticed yet, My Lady, but we're headed North. If any Wolves deide they want to head south and attack the River Clan, we'll intercept them. So the Wolves are not an Issue. What else need the River Clan be protected from? Nothing, really." Araris sighed, and shook his head. "If you'd Like, I can order a few ships to stay, in you're stead. I'm sure we could come up with some reason for a few ships to show up, unexplained, over the River Clan, and stick around for awhile." He said it with a little venom, stressing the fact that it wasn't somthing he would like to do, but that, if she requested, he would do anyways.

"I suppose I can do that..Yes." He nodded to the Radioman, who immediatly sent a message, informing them that the Clan's Leader had decided to join them, and was headed for a Visit to the Wind Clan.
The message sent, Araris nodded. "Good. Everything in order, then?"

"Ok..ok." Reiki chuckled. "I've brought Yuuka to the Inn. Although she refused my offer of medicinal wine, I left the bottle with her." He then glanced the area, where the direction of the border is.
"And, what's being left off there? The trees?"

*In the darkness of the room Nyku stood silent and watching him as he move taking notes. The only light was the desk lamp that glowed showing he gun and belt draped over the chair along with his shirt and coat. Out of the darkness she appears holding a glass of water and a bit of bread from then down stairs kitchen in the inn.

"Here you need to drink this and eat this." Offering both to him. "No I am not a Rhea what ever that is. However your lucky I am being kind and brought you hear other wise you be in the city jail. Is Rhea a person or some thing your dreaming of?"

She crosses her arms and tilts her head to the side a little keeping half in and out of the darkness of the room.

"the trees are probably doomed" Miiro said casually "however" he said reaching throwing a satchel at Reiki "i did get some seeds, you'll probably have more luck growing them than i" Miiro dug some dirt out of his ear "as for yuuka, she's not the kind to endager herself for pride...she'll use your medicine, should she need it and keep it if she dosen't"
