Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kaiori and Elergy were present in the common area, with Elergy's head poking out from the kitchen door. Another new soul to this place, buy why now all of a sudden. He had been left alone for months, and then a sudden burst of activity, this was an odd place indeed.

" I'm here. "

It was a wonder how Relinth had missed the two of them, Kairoi and himself that is. There were right out in the open; perhaps Relinth was blind? Wouldn't that mean his hearing was better? In which case.. why did he still miss Elregy and Kaiori? The world may never know.

" I- I guess, yes. Relinth, hello. No, no one but I has been here until recently. "

Relinth was a tad bit startling, but then again so were a few of the others lately. At least he didn't appear to wish harm on the man, another good sign to say the least. When Relinth extended his hand, Elergy would do the same in kind. At that point Relinth could see how thin the poor man was, just a whisp of his former healthy self. The venison he had spotted in the kitchen was gathered by Krono, who was due back anytime.. hopefully. Elergy was slowly building his strength back up with small bits of it, and broth. He'd recover over the next while.

" You could say that yes. Ah- y-yes, I am called Elergy. So you noticed.. no I have not been all that well for a long time now, but I'm getting better. "

No doubt Elergy was thinking 'Ow' when his hand was shook by Relinth, he was a strong man, and by all accounts a fighter or warrior of some sort. His grip was to be feared, at least by the still relatively frail Elergy who was still recovering from malnurishment.

" Are you- perhaps hungry? "

Far be it from Elergy not to share some of the bounty Krono had gathered, there was pleanty so no harm done. It was more or less all deer however, so hopefully Relinth liked meat.

" Months? You and I both sir. Uh- well deer, for now at least. Oh, no I'm fine now, I just meant with the lack of food and all. "

Well the laughing did help a bit, at least it was a pleasant laugh. About then Elergy thought to himself, 'where is Truinthil?' he had arrived back not long ago but he was nowhere in sight. Truinthil made a horrible sound when he arrived back, the sounds of killing something rather large, but where was he now? Not knowing put Elergy off a little, but he continued conversing in the meantime.

" Enough of not eating when you need it, makes a soul weaken slightly. But with deer in my belly, I'm slowly coming around. "

" I don't doubt, I just caught the end of it when I came here. One person trying to kill another, a hero stands in to save the day. A woman with no memory, and several others.. Then I awoke one morning and one by one they just left, disappeared, what ever you'd like to call it. I looked much different then, I had some meat on my bones. "

The time Elergy recalled was a time when Sairys had no memory, and Xol had arrived to beat her senseless. Elergy tried to stand up for Sairys but she shot down his aid, and was spared in thanks to Thanatos, Mastema's son. Why they all left Elergy couldn't say, but he was alone for months, surviving on rain water, what water there was in the garden, and small wild edibles, but not nearly enough of them.

" I will decline I think. Aside from being terribly thin, I've not much else for ailments. "

Relinth's sanctuary, it had been ages since anyone had graced that place too. Longer than the dojo had been empty, that was for sure. An offer of food from the new stranger made Elergy's stomach gurgle quietly, or maybe it was the venison broth, either way it was something pleasant to hear.

" Sanctuary? "

" Oh, I'm not entirely alone. Do you think I could have killed so many deer in this state? Surely not. "

That should have been obvious to Relinth if anything, the man was so frail there's no way he could drag all of the deer back to the dojo, skin them, and cook them up with so little energy. No, Elergy was far from alone, but now to think of it, where was Krono?

" T-Truinthil? Ah-- actually he's one of the people who has come back recently. He's still around here somewhere I think. Tell you the truth I wasn't so sure of him to begin with. "

Oh great, so this Truinthil guy that went out hunting with Krono was some sort of 'crazy'? Just wonderful.. Thinking on in further, maybe.. Truinthil was the reason Krono wasn't back yet. Hopefully the man hadn't done anything to Krono, but even if he had what could Elergy do? Though now that Relinth knew that Truinthil was still around, maybe he would stay as well.

" Sanctuary.. right. A fitting name for it then. "

Maybe when Kaiori spoke again, she could confirm the type of man Truinthil was. If he was as bad as he sounded, perhaps a visit to the 'sanctuary' was indeed in order.

" Guh. "

Well, Elergy could hope he didn't interest the wrong types of people. Krono seemed nice enough, so at least he was a start. For a moment Elergy wondered if he was already involved in something, but it seemed unlikely. Then he thought to himself, what would he do once he was strong enough again? Where would he go? The Sanctuary didn't sound too bad, it would be worth a look later.

" Hmm. What's that there? "

About then a slip of paper caught Elergy's eye, it was discarded on a small table, he hadn't noticed it before. Written on the paper was the invitation to the Icedpeak Temple Sairys had left behind. Making his way slowly to the table, Elergy would pick up the scrap and read it. So where was this temple, and who was Sairys? Little did Elergy know, she was the woman with no memory whom he had stood up for, all those months ago.

*kaiori had remained rather silent during the exchange. Her blue eyes wide with excitement but her lips pressed in a relaxed smile. She wasn't sure how to join in and was content to listen to people talk. She missed the busy days of the dojo and seemed to be slipping in and out of memories. She keeps her relaxed position on the couch and braids her own hair, simply giving her fingers something to do.*
