Welcome to Gaia! ::

((This part. Just slightly.
))

Ruia decided to meet the Rider and came down from the tree. She walked towards him and only stopped when she was no more than a metre away.
"I am Ruia." she said, "And you are Sora. Greetings Rider. And greetings to you too Terra." If anybody else had spoken as she did, it would have been called rude. But there were always exceptions and Ruia, The Blue Lady, was one of them.

Alianae followed suit and took her leave of the tree. Walking up to Sora, she greeted him in the way of the elves; two fingers at her lips and the words, "Atra esterni ono thelduin."

"I think you'd better ask Terra that question," Sora said, gesturing towards the green dragon, who stared at him as if it were all his fault.

It's not my fault! she said, projecting to everyone. All I did was bite off an Urgal's head in front of her! she raised her claws in defeat. How was I supposed to know she had a weak stomach?

Sora looked at the other elf who had come over, and placed his fingers on his lips, "Atra Mor'anr lifa unin hjarta onr," he said, finishing his part of the ritual. So many people had just appeared though, that he seemed to be overwhelmed.

Sora looked at Milus. "Who says that I have a message?" he asked. "Just so you know, I don't, in fact, I'm sent as a helper this time, not a messenger," he said, "Just because that is my title, it does not mean that I will always have a message for you!" he stated, feigning the anger that he appeared to be venting.

Terra looked at Milus, and then to the sky. He makes me feel unwanted, she whispered to Sora. But hold your thoughts back now, she said, warning him that those little tendrils of thought could get him into a perilous situation.

Terra hung her head in shame. I am truly sorry, Minasia, she said in a glum voice. I sometimes forget the results of the Rider's lessons, she finished, the after-taste of the Urgal's head leaving a sick feeling in her mouth.

Sora looked at Minasia. "Several of the watcher elves have been using there minds to rack out the lands, as they usually do, and found beings dying left and right," he said, and looked at his feet, kicking dust. "And before they could find out who was fighting all the Urgals, I was told to come and help," he said, and looked at her again. Her face was flushed, and a stifled gasp escaped his mouth. "And you need some medicine," he said, and searched through Terra's saddlepacks, where he found a bottle of a clear liquid out. "How could I be so stupid," he said. "Drink this. It's not Faelnirv, just spelled fruit nectar," he finished, extending his arm out, the clear vial in his hand.

((*confusion* When did May get sick? cause dark blue is may, right? and the one who felt sick was Minae..right??))

Alianae listened to the conversation and smiled. "We did not need help, no, but thank you for coming out. Would you be going now or do you care to stay. I think our destination was Teirm but we've gotten sidetracked.." she said.

Ruia gave a sigh. "Boy! It is rude not to notice those right before your eyes." she said.

"Um, we're going to stay," Sora said, and scratched the back of his neck. "Queen Islanzadi has enough Riders there to help her out that I won't be missed much," he commented, and looked at Terra, feeling her spirit rise when he had accepted the trip to Teirm. Well, at least we'd be going someplace different, instead of the same old green forest, day after day, he said. And there're more fresh minds to poke into!

Yes, it will be fun, she said. But you're not going to stick in a room all day probing the city's minds. We will see what Teirm is like, through traditional methods, not by scrying.

Fine, Sora said, and saw someone just talk, commenting on his attention. "I'm sorry," he said to her(Ruia), "So you probably know my name already, so what's yours?"

((I don't know if the Blue Strength is a well-known thing, obscure, or only unique to Ruia, so I'm gonna say that he read about it being a very rare gift...don't get mad, Isidar!))

"A fitting nickname, Ruia" Sora complimented, looking at the display of Ruia's power with the Blue Strength. "I see that the Blue Strength is invested within you," he said, "I have read about it, but as it being so rare, I haven't found any of those gifted with the Blue Strength in Ellesmera," he finished.

A very useful gift you have Ruia, Terra said. We've heard much about it, but only very little of the actual fact that is the Strength, she whispered, observing the lightning displayed around Ruia.
