Welcome to Gaia! ::

Listening to Onion Knight's speach had filled Ky with a renewed sense of hope and determination. Sure the thieves had gotten away with the crystal, but with all of these people searching for them the crystal wouldn't be in their possession for long.

Seeing that most of the people around her were breaking off into smaller groups before beginning the search Ky scanned the crowd for Zayn, Mirror and FP. Suddenly she heard a faint sound resembling her name being called out from somewhere above. Looking up she saw Mirror floating several feet away. Fearing her voice would get lost amongst all the noise around her and that he'd miss her she sent Misa to alert him in the hopes that Mirror would recognize her and follow her back to Ky.

[Misa, go to Mirror, help him find me. Then we can get started!] {Alright, alright. Just wait there.} Fluttering from her perch on a nearby oak Misa headed straight for Mirror.

Meanwhile, Ky straightened her hair tightened her dresses' bindings and readied her staff. She had to be ready.

Sika quickly scurried into the temple, in search of anyone from her group, or anyone she may know for that matter. Elazu was getting restless in her arms, and the loud voice of whoever that was made her nervous, she hated getting nervous.
As she walked in she eyed the crowd of others within the temple. What had she missed in her long absence to the event held in the temple she wondered. She was far behind, as usual. Eveyone seemed to be in a rush at that moment, and being around that made her feel even more rushed and determined to find someone she knew.
Over the crowd she heard Merrick's voice and sighed with relief. She knew him and knew he was part of her group she was supposed to meet up with.
" Merrick? " she asked, tugging at a part of his sleeve. " It's Sika. I'm so glad I found one of you guys..."

Elazu stared up from Sika's arms and let out a soft coo of boredom. He had the right mind to just ditch Sika at this point, she was taking too long to get to the remedy of his headache.

Mirror, looking frantically around the room saw a small flying thing coming towards him. His eyes widened since at first he thought it was something coming to attack him until he noticed that it looked oddly familiar. Squinting his golden eyes to get a better look at the flying creature, Mirror moved a bit forward in the air. Oh! It was Ky's friend! The Al Sylian looked down to Zayn and waved his arms wildly to get his attention.

"Zayn! Zayn!" He cried, pointing in the direction that the bird had come from, "Ky's over there! Over there!"

Admittedly the poor knight was not used to being addressed so frequently and he simply cleared his throat as he was questioned, glancing briefly at Quinny's sheet of paper before admiring the crowd of giants now around him (times like these made him wish he hadn't asked to be put down).

"Yes, I do know of that ensignia." He replied calmly and motioned westward in the same direction that the airship had taken off in, "It twas one of the noble houses in Durem, I've seen the crest above one of the doorways but it is in terrible condition." He finished, giving a light shrug as he adjusted his microscopic sword and mounted Behebuncle, soon turning to Masamune expectantly.

"Well m'lady, are we ready to depart?" He enquired curiously.

Zayn gave Ky amd Mirror a bright smile. Checking to make sure no one would overhear and steal their clue, he confided, "When we went to the Island Retreat, there was an airship there! They called it the 'Regalia' and it looked similar to the one that theif used."

It wasn't the same airship, but perhaps whoever owned the Regalia would know where to find the owner of this new airship. It was a good start, he thought.

"So as soon as we find Fire, we'll head back there. Is that okay?"

Still flustered from all the past events that took place, he caught up with Zayn and smiled with relief.

"I'm here!" he nodded at his team mates happily. Hopefully he would find enough comfort amidst his friends. Not only that but enough courage to pull through this ordeal they were about to go through.

Mirror fluttered down beside Fire, Ky and Zayn landing lightly upon the ground while pressing a palm to his forehead. Flying like that took a bit of his energy but he'd be fine. He gave a tired smile to the rest of the group and nodded his head, "The Island Retreat...How fun would that be!" He exclaimed.

Ky nodded her head to Mirror, "Yes, that's where we're headed since now we have our group."

"Of course." Mirror agreed with a laugh as he looked up to Zayn expctantly. Something had happened to automatically make him the leader of the group.

"Ah, the Lady Sika!" Merrick exclaimed, turning to face the young woman. "I was afraid you wouldn't be able to make it! You've missed quite a to-do; it seems some Baroness has made off with a young crystal, one that will fade if it isn't recovered. This lady and I..." He looked questioning at Niva, then at Roger. "...and perhaps this young man here have determined to try and recover it. It will probably be very dangerous, but if you're willing to join us we could certainly use the help."

Then he spied Elazu, and his eyes lit up at the prospect of being close to yet another magical creature. "Oh, and who is this?"
