Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'm Raizer, Raizer Hunter" he said smiling "and who might you be?" he asked looking at the whole group.

((She liveth!

Quite frankly, the only reason I haven't posted much is I feel like we're at a standstill and I have no idea how to pull us out. >.<

That's just me, of course.))

((I'd go ahead, but I need my new char for that, and Destiny hasn't officially okayed it -__- .....))

Ichnel rubbed his temples, trying to fend off the imminent headache he knew was brewing. He'd been patient long enough.

With a little more force than necessary, Ichnel made a small, round boulder shoout out from the ground and than began to magickly etch words into it as it settled back onto the earth.

Dearest Lae,

When you and your other guest awake, please take them to the clearing near the waterfall. You know which one.

Sincerly yours,

Ichnel

Satisfied with his work, Ichnel turned to the rest of the group and to the new arrival.

"My name is Ichnel, Raizer Hunter. What brings you to our fair village of Bredia?" Ichnel said, executing the formal bow one gave in greeting.

He keen as to know why yet another elf had come to Bredia.

What surprised him more was that Raizer didn't bat an eye at the fact that Ichnel was obviously of Shalondian descent. Most elves, like Marael, would draw blades at the mere sight of him.

"Also, not to seem rude, but we are in a hurry to meet the Elder. If you wish to meet with him and pay your respects, please follow us," Ichnel said as he walked past the group and started to walk in the direction of the clearing.

Marael fell in step with Ichnel and Razier, motioning for the humans to follow. Gabe trailed behind, as usual.

She listened to the newcomer a moment, and nodded to herself as he mentioned being happy to be in civilization again. She, too, was feeling rather happy to be with people, although she did miss the quiet of travelling alone. Her eyes wandered over to Ichnel and the humans thoughtfully. Rarely did she get along so well with such a large group of people. She had always been something of a loner in Wisitia, preferring to talk to Gabe over other elves. Times do change. She thought to herself.

As Razier finished his explanation, she looked over at him, her eyes changing back from a thoughtful green to their natural turqouise.

"I am Marael." She said, giving him a nod. It was hard to bow while walking, although there was a process for it, she really didn't feel like bothering. Nodding was acceptable for a warrior, and the swords strapped to her back gave her that qualification, even if her experience was ever so slightly lacking.

((silver_death01, I am in love with you right now!! We're FINALLY going somewhere!! YAY!!))

((Oh... life!?!! eek *shock and joy mixed into one*
YAY!! Okay, lemme post lemme post!! The power went out and I haven't been able to get on these past couple days, so here I am!! Gimme a sec to read everything and I'll come back and post.))

Ichnel made post haste to where the elder was waiting. He tried to keep his long stride in check, but he was starting to pull ahead of the group. He sighed. Ichnel seemed to be doing a lot of that lately.

"We are almost there,"he said over his shoulder as the group entered the trees.

As they walked, Ichnel couldn't help but notice that the magick of the group had skyrocketed when they entered the forest. Well, the place was magickal...

Ichnel shook his head a chuckled a little. He was very much looking forward to seeing what type of fighting and magickal capabilities the humans had. He had a feeling that he'd remember it far into the future. As they approached the clearing where the meeting was to be held, Ichnel heard a pleasant baritone voice, humming and occasionally saying a word of power or two.

Ichnel smiled. Sounded like the Elder was healing something. Making sure that the group's presence was known, he ruffled a few bushes and walked into the clearing.

"I apologize for being so late, Elder. Lae and some of her guests were having....issues waking up this morning,"Ichnel said, bowing so low that many who watched would wonder if he could stand up strait again without falling over.

Emmia nodded with a welcoming smile as Razier had come upon their group. Yet another joining their ranks. She thought of introducing herself, but as it were, Ichnel was in a bit of a rush. And she couldn't blame him, really. Someone like the Elder was not to be kept waiting long. So, all things settled, Emmia simply kept in step with the rest as they neared.
She could feel the thick excitement weighing down the air. She herself was even a bit anxious to see the Elder again.
As they started back into the forest, Emmia sensed the same sort of increase in magick. Again she was reminded of Terra's little show of her potential and could only imagine what the rest of these humans were capable of. The thought had just started to blossum when a rich murmur of a voice caught her attention. Finally they had arrived. Surely the Elder would have much to say on all of this.
Satisfied with that thought, she looked ahead to see Ichnel's grand bow. She followed suit once she'd made it to the clearing.
"Good day, Elder, how good it is to see you again."

Terra wasn't sure of what else to do except follow. Now with a new elven edition to their steadily growing party, it felt more like they were all going to see a king.
She found herself both nervous and excited and the two feelings seemed to collide in her stomach. Of course the talk of learning their abilities and using magick all seemed wonderful to her, there was no doubt about that. However, meeting the head of the elven society on their second day here in this world was a bit more than she'd really anticipated.
But as they broke through the line of trees it seemed official that there was no running away now.
Her heart raced at the thought of magick and combat. So much so, that as their group stopped before the clearing, she suddenly felt small vines sprouting and curling about her ankles. Looking down, she stared with a blank expression at the vines, surprised. She was within the heart of the cluster of people and elves. So it wasn't as if there was a way to move anyhow. 'Stop!' she thought, looking frantic.
Terra marvelled at the vines for a moment as they retracted at her request. Had that really just happened? She quickly looked back up to see, trying to act normal as she noticed Ichnel and Emmia bow.
Still in a bit of shock, Terra did nothing and simply gazed at the Elder in curiousity.
