Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yashweh, Chelsea, Saleh

Elliot was yelling at people to stay calm, trying to move them away from the locations of the fires, but the people's fear only intensified as darkness rose and covered them, demons appearing. Elliot wished it could have looked better but this was life or death, they had no choice. Another whine in the air caught his attention, looking up and seeing more fire ready to fall. The world at the moment was chaos, some picking fights with the shadow demons, others on the ground crying or being trampled by the onslaught of running people, then the darkness.

For a split second the people fell silent, but the king could feel the fear vibrating all around him, then the shock and confusion as the familiar canopy of Falia appeared overhead. Then in an instant people were yelling for their loved ones, moving and running quickly. He was quick to turn around and look for Leo, spotting him with the babies and moving closer, looking at the children before checking Leo for injuries. Good. Leo was okay.

Chelsea fell to the ground in a panic, breathing hard, still hearing the whine of the falling flame. Gold eyes looked up and around, the bear quickly crawling towards Oliver. "Hey. Hey you're okay." and carefully pulled the frightened boy close. "It's okay. You're fine." and clung to him tightly, her own mind rattled and unsure. She had no idea where she was. Falia, the king said?

Saleh looked in the direction the two-horned demon pointed, seeing his confused brother clinging to the town elder. He ran quickly, ignoring the searing pain in his gut and hugged the small boy. "Oh thank the elders you're all right." And pulled away, "Where is Mother?"

Before Yashweh could answer both boys heard their names, looking up before the woman pulled them both in close, nearly black hair falling around them as she spoke quick, tearful words of thanks.

The people seemed to be calming down, but many needed treatment, suffering burns, broken limbs or already dead. Those whom were under the impact would not be seen, no traces left of them, burned to ash upon impact. But amid the crying and the calming, there was another feeling. Uprooted, beaten down again, no peace, even the lynx felt it, ears lowering as well. "We'll need to find them food and shelter. Find some Falian translators, send people out. We cannot separate them they must be together.

Yashweh, Chelsea, Saleh

"Shhh. Shhh." She said, stroking his hair, rocking. Everything was going to be okay. They were safe in Falia. She stayed curled around him, ignoring the spoken words once realizing she couldn't understand them. "We're fine, Oliver. We're fine."

"some of our injured are unable to move!" Saleh said after a moment of survey. "Could a few healers come out for those unable to move?" he called out. The crowd that could move or could be helped started moving towards the large building. "They're in critical condition!"

Elliot nodded. "it seems so. The babies should be put in the house to sleep or rest. I'm sure Chelsea and Oliver can take care of them. We need to help out here." he pressed his lips to both Rin and Yuki's head. He'd hate to abandon them, but at least here Kasp couldn't get to them.

Yashweh, Chelsea, Saleh

Hearing the instant crying he frowned, giving a small nod. "Poor babes. I'm sorry for even suggesting it." and nuzzled them, purring loudly. "You should go rest, I will do what I can to help, then. You are still weak from healing all of their injured. Find a place to sit, rest. Comfort the ones still healthy if you must but do not over-exert yourself, all right?" He stroked Leo's face before turning, finding a translator he could pair up with, quickly figuring out what he needed to do before moving quickly.

"You are healing our injured and giving us homes," he wanted to ask for a mourning tent, but so many were gone, so many were abandoned, "Please, have patience with us. Our culture is very different from yours and I do not want to cause strife." He looked around, looking at the newborn elder that Yashweh was comforting. "Could we perhaps have a nest for our elder?"

"No. Oliver please." She whimpered, wanting to keep the child close, but he was quick to help out the others. She should be helping too. Chelsea should be just as active, but her nerves were frazzled, she was in shock. She looked up at Hasta, realizing her own trembling and trying to get herself to stop, shaking her head. "I don't know what I need.... ask them. They all need help." She was just in shock. Shock would pass.

Yashweh, Chelsea, Saleh

Saleh gave a small smile. "Thank you so much. We are eternally in your debt. Once we become a country we will make it up to you." Right now they were just a bandwagon of people who had as much government as they did ways to combat stress. "Oh, he needs a nest we would prefer him to be around our people." But he looked at the dryad, stepping back in shock.

The little elder was just as startled, moving to hide behind Yashweh who held him.

Yashweh stroked his beak. "Can I come? I don't want to leave him alone, and I don't know where our priest is."

Her face flinched away from the cool hand, trying to remember to be angry at him but the feeling fizzled out, shock greater than something so childish at the moment. "I... I'd just like to sit here." she didn't have the strength to move anywhere.

Yashweh, Chelsea, Saleh

'C-Can I keep him company anyway? J-Just to sit until you're done?" He was afraid of leaving the elder, their elder was so little. Well, not quite, he was certainly somewhat taller than Yashweh himself by maybe a head.

The blue eyes looked at birch cautiously, wings adjusting lightly before peeking out behind the blue haired boy, clicking its large beak before stepping, waiting for Yashweh to step before taking another step. The little elder would follow Birch, but only with Yashweh.

"I know. Dad told me that Falia was a nice place. It certainly smells nice." She had to distract herself. "Took so long for what? You came when he called."

Yashweh, Chelsea, Saleh

He'd expected something rough and scratchy, but the woman's skin was smooth. he looked up curiously but followed, holding on lightly to the feathers of the Elder's wing. Where were they going? There didn't seem to be a lot of people. Yashweh looked and knelt down as well, letting go and watching, giving a panicked cry as the Elder seemed to pass out. It must have been normal though, Birch thinking nothing of it. He stared worriedly before moving and sitting down beside her, looking back at the bird constantly.

"That was not your fault. You were doing something else. You could not have predicted this would happen." This was good, she wasn't thinking about herself, looking at the demon and lightly, awkwardly, but lightly patting his shoulder. "There there."

Yashweh, Chelsea, Saleh

The blue haired boy sat there, watching his elder nervously, glancing up at the woman and back to the bird. The ground was comfortable, their elder had no need for a nest, but it was the rule, and it was still so young. Yashweh opened his mouth to ask a question, stopping and closing it again. How long would this take? Was he okay? The boy fidgeted, looking at his crossed legs before finally notice something wave in his peripheral. "Oliver!" Yashweh exclaimed, standing up quickly and looking at the ruby. He stared at it in shock, eyes starting to tear up. "A-And my turban?" he asked, hoping maybe Oliver had put it somewhere or had given it to someone, small hands taking the gem.

The brown ears lowered, frown returning to her face as he patted her hand. She felt normal enough to dislike him again, but looked away. "We would have perished in the desert." And Leo and Elliot most certainly, being their abilities were water based and they would no doubt try to help the people before themselves. Her king was still suffering somewhat, but the Falian temperature would no doubt cool him off. "But none of us are going to, so today I thank you. Thank you." and removed her hand from his and pat him on the head as though he were a dog. There, they were back to normal.

Chelsea stood up, taking a slow breath and exhaling through her nose. "I am going to go see how many children are without parents that I can calm. Excuse me." And walked off to where some were already talking to children, hoping she'd be needed. The young woman couldn't stand by idly and watch.
