Welcome to Gaia! ::

Adencia, hearing Kayoe’s voice, stopped slamming against the door for a moment.

“Of course I am!” she shouted to him, “I wont be strong enough to even change involuntarily until about midday! Garren locked my door!”

Adencia threw herself against the door again and it continued to splinter at a slow rate. She clenched her fists angrily and kicked the door. The air around her stirred and she smiled maliciously, her anger calling the elements to her side.

“Back away from the door.” She yelled to Kayoe as she stepped away from the door.

Channeling her energies she bladed he hand and called fire to it. She sent it out to the door, burning a vertical line down the center. Cutting of the fire with a flick of her wrist she left the door charred down the center. Twisting her hands in the sorcery art forms of her ancestors she blasted the door with gale force wind and kicked it with a firm heel in quick succession, breaking it in half.

The two door halves fell to the ground burnt, charred, splintered and blasted. She stepped out of her room, having regained her composure, though she still wore an angry scowl. Adencia kicked a piece of the door and looked up to Kayoe.

“I only wish I could do that all the time.”

Thorn, finally waking up when the the door crashed out in the hall. Being a heavy sleeper when he is comfortable which isn't often. There was something strange about these people that made him feel safe. He knew that they all had problems like him. Some of them dangerous to him and the others but he still felt safe. He hoped that his feelings stayed that way the whole trip. Hearing the noise out in the hall he got up still dressed and straped on his axe which was laying next to him on the bed.

Out in the hall it looked like Adencia had broke down the door to her room and the others were gathering in the hall around them. Speaking quietly he asked "What happened?"

Tanyeera didn't sound very comfortable with trying to imitate his speech, so he tried to tell her it was alright. "Your form of speech is not a matter of depth. If it beckons you, please speak with the common tongues. I understand them entirely." At the mention of his book, however, he shied and took a step back. "I plead your excuse, God-servant, but it is a vitality of my living and iconic of my history. I dare not part with it for the slightest of moments." Wishing to move away from any discussion about his book, he tried to return to the subject of Tanyeera's books.

"I have no frets about cryptology, and I dare myself to announce a slight offense at that statement. Literature is all I understand. If I cannot succeed even there, of what use is my mind?" He frowned and looked away as the echo of the obliterated door hitting the floor reached his ears. He mumbled an old aphorism to himself beneath his breath. "Rowdy at dawn, drowsy at twilight. Or was it the inverse?"

From the look on Isarelle’s face as she was having the internal conversation with her brother it seemed that Adencia’s allegations were true. Kayoe looked right into Isarelle’s eyes as it was as close as he could get to doing so with her brother.
“Garren, while I do not know for sure I have a feeling as to why you did this. I will not deny that when someone is under the effects of a curse like Adencia’s or my own you can not trust them at that moment.” Kayoe spoke calmly and rationally, if he let himself feel anything here it probably would be anger, and he definitely did not want to get angry here.
“And you may not be able to trust us on a personal level as you have just met us. But if you plan on traveling with us through possibly dangerous regions you should at least trust us to handle a wild animal. If she could control all her forms she would be at least 10 times as dangerous, but an animal attacking out of fear or hunger is easy to deal with, but a shifter making her calculated kill is not. It is actually much safer for you to trust her and deal with the curse when it comes, then to be afraid of her and try to protect yourself in ways that will anger her. But either way, if you can’t put your faith in your comrades abilities you shouldn’t travel as a group. Your sister has decided to come with us, meaning you are being dragged along as well so I suggest you at least pretend to have faith for her sake.”

Kayoe then looked down at the door, for being broken down it was in fairly good shape, a weak mid-level restoration spell would fix it. He bent down and put one of his hands just above one of the main halves of the door. His magic powers, with the spell of 1000 blades being an exception, used the method that was used by the elder gods but as a mortal he was limited by both his relatively low mana power and his elemental affinity, and healing was rather low on it, taking much more mana then the spell really called for. Despite that he spoke;
"Let it be as it was." It was as if the door itself heard the command the two halves reunited and healed their burns and cracks, it stood up reattached itself to its hinges, shut, and the final sound was the click of the lock. The sudden outflow of mana almost caused Kayoe to fall over, maintaining his balance but breathing harder then he was before he stood up and turned to Adencia and smiled slightly.
“I only wish I could do that all the time.”

Kayoe nodded
“If I wouldn’t be able to do the day’s traveling and fight off what may attack us today I wouldn’t have fixed it. Not being a burden on the group is more important then a broken door. But I do appreciate your concern, whenever I cast a spell that takes a lot of mana it’s like running a good distance, only you feel it all at once. Healing magic is far outside my preferred elements so it takes far more mana then it should. With the exception of my specialty spell, because it works on a different magic system then the rest, I doubt I’ll be able to do magic the rest of the day. But my skill with a blade is at least 100 fold that of my magical ability so if the time to fight comes, I’ll still be in top form. In any case it seems we are now wasting daylight, shall we gather everyone together so we can set out?”

Cerdik nodded eagerly then watched Tanyeera go with awe. When another door opened behind him, he spun quickly, somewhat fearful. Not to mention the slight morning chill was getting to him again. However, he relaxed when he saw it was Tanyeera, and with four books in her possession.

Smiling faintly, he nodded. He was pleased to be offered such a great reward, but how would he carry them? His little arms would hardly be able to encompass them, let alone have enough strength to lift all four simultaneously. So he ran through his mind quickly searching for options. "Could I inquire to the provision of some leather? I could never alone dream of hoisting such tomes."

With pure awe and surprise at her kindness, Cerdik moved forward and timidly received the satchel. He took time to run his hands over the texture. Truly she was a servant of the Gods, to bless him so kindly with these gifts. He slung the satchel over his right shoulder, and the bag rested gently against his left thigh. It was perfect. Well almost. The only thing he could have asked for on top of it all, was a satchel with a smaller outside pouch for his book. Still, this was amazing. He lifted the flap and set his book inside gently. Then he held his arms outstretched for the books.

"Kindly I ask, will you pass the tomes individually?" There was no chance that he could hold them all and then put them in the satchel, so he could have to take them one at a time and store them away.

Kayoe pondered this for a second he would be fine on whatever they could find, but some of the other members of the party probably could use a decent meal before they set out. Not to mention if they were going directly to their final goal, they would also have to re-evaluate what route they were taking. That could be done on the road while traveling in the general direction of the goal, but some of the others would probably be comforted by having the route in mind before they left.
“A good meal would be greatly appreciated, I would offer to aid you, but my cooking skills are limited to err... ‘traveler’s food.’” Kayoe was referring to food that could made with ingredients that you could, with the exception of some spices, find on the road.
“However if there is another way that I can help you, it would by my pleasure to do so.”
