Welcome to Gaia! ::

From the general safety of the doorframe, Quinn watched the great ship's ascent, digging futily in her belt pouch for a bit of candy to soothe her frazzled nerves. Comming up empty handed, she gripped the doorframe in frustration as the vessle broke free from its constraints and sped away towards Durem.

A low growl emmanated from her throat as she watched it go, thinking there must have something she could have done to prevent the situation, but knowing in her heart that there wasn't.

Leaning against the doorframe, she sighed exhasperatedly, opening her mouth to express her upset, when a voice from outside boomed for attention. Stepping hesitantly from the Hall, Quinn looked around for the source of the outburst, finding it in a funny little man flapping about for attention.

"Of course, Zayn." Mirror said with a nod, his voice slightly cracked by the recent events. With a slight tug on an invisible string in his mind, the Al Sylian moved back to the balcony and set down his friend, landing softly behind him.

Fire found his way to the balcony listening quietly to the Onion Knight's voice bellowing throughout the area. Leaning on the wall, feelings of confusion and bewilderment still lingered within him. It seemed so much has happened, far too quickly for him anyhow. Something must have happened with all this commotion and chaos. Yet, he was terribly unaware of what it was still... However, whatever it was, could not be taken lightly. So there he was, listening intently to every word that would come.

Sika slowly walked upto the Temple steps, holding Elazu in her arms. She looked down at Elazu curiously as she heard a loud voice.

Elazu returned this look and gazed up at the temple. He felt like something was amiss, something was terribly wrong, but he didnt understand this feeling to him it was just an odd poke at the back of his mind.

The two had made their way toward the temple because of this odd feeling Elazu had.

Sika sucked in a breath of air then made her way up the stairs, holding Elazu close, as if she may drop him. But on her way up she caught sight of Vash and Shakti making their way up the stairs as well. Calling out she hurried her pace to catch up to them, she deffiantly didn't want to go in on her own..

Satisfied that he had received the attention of the majority of those within the temple, he shuffled in Masa's grasp to make himself more comfortable and finally removed his helm so that people could se his face (his father had always said people trusted you more if you showed your face).

"As you know, a terrible event has befallen us at the hands of the Baroness Regalia." He began, clutching his tiny gloved hands around his minature helmet as he seemed to take a few moments to surpress the rage that threatened to burst forth from within the depths of his chest, "It seems that she has taken a crystal, a very young one at that and therefore there is much more at stake than if she had stolen a more mature crystal."

"It is guaranteed that the young treasure will fade away without the tender care of the Prime Crystal." He grimaced as he surveyed his audience nad promptly motioned to the door with his tiny hand (promptly dropping his helmet onto the floor with a small clang), "Retrieving it is impossible alone - therefore it is my duty on behalf of those within this forest, to request that you retrieve the crystal as quickly as possible." He continued, glancing around once more at the guests, some of which seemed uncomfortable at the thought of an adventure.

"This task will not be easy, the Baroness is dangerous and many sources are unable to say exactly where she resides. Your job will be to find her, if you accept this challenge you will be rewarded or so I would assume..." He finished, allowing the news to sing in as he gazed around the room for the third time, taking note that a number of guests already seemed to have vanished, most peculiar...

Merrick tore his gaze away from the massive magic going on before him to look at Niva. "Cut it loose?" he sputtered incredulously. "My lady, are you mad? Not only would we be aiding horrible thieves, which would more than likely get us killed by the guardian that haunts this very temple, but the plants would tear us apart before we even got near enough to cut it loose!"

He glued his eyes once more to the spectacle of the struggling airship. "No, no...the wisest thing to do is to remain here, and hope that whoever is controlling these vines wins."

The nobleman stamped his foot in anger as the airship broke free, then turned to listen to what the tiny...was that a doll, or a person? Whatever it was, it had quite a voice, and quite an interesting lot of things to say. Once it was finished, Merrick put his hand up like a school child, hoping for the teacher's attention.

"And, erm, how exactly are we supposed to do this?" Merrick asked. "I'm as willing to help out as the next man - the last thing I want is to see this crystal...disappear, as it were. But she's in an airship...in a few hours she could be in a place that would take us days, even weeks to travel to by other means. Leaving off how dangerous it would be to find her...do we even have any hint of where she might be going? Or shall we all just take off in different directions, willy-nilly, and hope whoever runs into her first doesn't get killed?"

Rodger's eyes shifted up to the man who had given him the drink. Seemed nice enough and now, he wanted to help. He swallowed a bit, stuffing his items away in his pockets, as he dusted off.

Slowly he pushed himself up so he was standing, and sauntered slowly, avoiding most of the crowd, towards Merrick, he stood just behind the man, clearing his throat softly to get his attention, the whole time his eyes were cast downwards towards the tiles between his feet, rather than up at the man.
