Welcome to Gaia! ::

Erik thanked the man for allowing him to stay, but told him that he really needed to leave. Erik did not worry about where he was. He was familiar enough with Varnis's aura to locate Varnis no matter where Varnis might be. So Erik set off to meet with Varnis.

((Ok, sorry about that. I am feeling better now, and will be posting more often. ^_^ Paradox, you also helped me introduce another piece to the Rp.))

A young Woman, early twenties, walked up to the top of a hill, to see nothing but a ruined village a few hundreds yards off in the distance. Her weapon was not visible, and she wore no armor. Her clothes where simple robes, blue, and white, as if it where the sky. Walking, she watched the area around her, keeping an eye out for who ever might have done such a thing.

"So much destruction, and death. Seems like who ever did this, has no regard for human life..."

Stepping up to one of the bodies that laid on the ground, a young child, no older than 12, her eyes teared up as blood soaked into her knees. "Rest in peace young one..." Pulling out a gold coin, she placed it on top of the child's head, and closed their eyes. "May you find rest in the after life, where there is no war." Her voice almost sang as she spoke, as a single tear rolled down her cheek. Standing up, the blood slowly faded away from her knees. Looking about, she found tracks of who did this, and proceeded to follow them.

"Such great power will be of use... Too bad they cause so much destruction... Maybe I can get them to join me." Walking down the trail, and out of the village, the winds in the village began to pick up, into a violent tornado. "If they wont... Then, well, I'll just have to carry out my orders." Pulling out a paper, sealed with the Air nation's symbol, she looked at the water nation, as she walked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Varnis didn't notice Sara walk up to him, until she had spoke. Jumping, he looked up at her before speaking. "I don't need any sleep, too worried about everyone else... Good to see you are well though." He did a weak smile, before looking off into the hospital again. "Are you sure you should be walking so soon?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

((Erik is too far to sense Varnis' aura, he is in the Airnation, they are in the City of Stone, but you won't be alone for long.))

A messenger, wearing light armor, and a short sword came running though the villages guards, moving too fast for them to say anything. Not seeing Erik as he walked out of the building, he ran right into him, knocking them both off the ground. Lying on the ground a moment, the man tried to catch his breath. "Sorry... didn't, see ya there." Standing up, he looked at Erik for a moment. "Do you know where the elder is?" He carried an important document. It was sealed with a pentagram on the wax, and the Air nation's seal was below the marking.

Sara had smiled at Varnis. "What are you talking about? I feel as if I could help fight off the Fire Nation!" She said with a wink. When Mia walked up she quieted to listen to her. As she related the news about Erik, she couldn't stop a frown. "What are we to do then?" She asked her hands starting to shake a bit.
---
Azael listened to the Nurse tell her the news. "That makes good hearing, now where is the group I was with?" She asked hoping they were known to be a reason the battle had been won. Following behind the Nurse she soon found herself looking in through the doorway at the three talking. "Is everyone ok?" She called through the doorway slipping in to study each figure in the light.

Varnis smiled back at Sara as she spoke. It did make him feel a bit better to see her smile as well. "Well lets go get them then!" He tried to laugh as he heard the news from Mia. "So... Your saying Erik was saved by them? Why would they interfere like that? Usually the Air nation just sits by, and watch..." He shook his head. "We should go find him, if we can." Varnis replied to Sara's question. "But first... we should search the encampment."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"There was an attack on a small water village, apparently, it was the Air nation, but no such orders where filed..." He shook his head as he realized what he just said. He seemed to be a bit nervous, almost wanting to walk away, yet unable to at the same time. "I shouldn't be telling a random person all this..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The woman followed Kiri's tracks to the Nation of Earth, hoping that she could find who ever did the attack. She had used her letter to get supplied from the Air nation before setting out, but apparently, she didn't expect to be traveling for so long.

Entering the nation's walls, no one asked who she was, or why she was there. She was well known there. She knew the person's aura enough from the village, it was strong, and full of power, but it was not strong enough, not yet fully released.

She needed to rest for a moment, and entered the main tavern. Not sensing the person's aura, she relaxed, and pulled down her hood revealing a calm, smooth face. Dark blue eyes, and long flowing blond hair. Ordering a drink, she relaxed in the tavern, hoping the person she was following would find her.

Sothe finally saw The Great City, in the distance. When he got closer though, Sothe noticed that there were bodies around the walls, weapons scadered everywhere, and the ground was charged from fire. Sothe stopped and thought for a while, "Now what to do, it looks like the army that came here was defeated. The solders guarding the door may get suspicious, when I get to the door." Sothe decided there was no turning back, but he decided he needed a plan. He walked up to the door and was stopped by two men. One of them spoke up, "Hey who are you and what are you doing here; don't you see we were just attacked." The man looked at Sothe's sword, "why do you have a sword, and what business do you have here?" The other man put his hand on his sword. Sothe saw this and started to talk, "I am sorry that I came at a bad time, but I am a mercenary looking for some work. If you have any jobs for me, I would be great full. The man holding his sword let his hand drop and started to laugh, "Only if you came earlier, we would have put you to good use." After he stopped laughing, then man looked at Sothe from head to toe. "I guess we could use you to help clean up the battle field. What is your name young mercenary? Sothe had to think quickly, he could not give them his real name. "My name is Muarim," Sothe said quickly. Muarim was a strong, Earth Nation, man that Sothe had killed in the past. One of the men smiled,"Ah, a good Earth Nation name, but you don't look like your from here. Your blue eyes look water nation to me, but where you were born doesn't concern me. Come on in, Muarim, I'll take you to the general he will give you a job. Sothe followed the man in and was surprised how dumb the guards were. He knew he had to get rid of the man he was following, so he could look for his target. Once they started walking though a busy area, Sothe stabbed the man though his back and into his heart. he then pushed his way though the crowd and went into a small ally way. Sothe started to hear screaming and shouting, so he decided to stay where he was for a while.

((Is it ok if Azael heals Sara?))

Sara's smile faded some as the salve that hab been rubbed on her back to neutralize some of the pain began to weaken. Her back started to throb and she quickly sat in a chair before her legs collapsed on her. She was a quick healer but it hadn't been long enough yet. "Seems, I'm going to have to stay back on this one." She said quietly wishing she was well enough to help them and watch their backs.
------
Azael noticed the other women's apparent discomfort as she sat down. She moved a bit closer and eyed the bandages on her back. She knew the huge man in the battle had weakened her elemental connection to water but her link with her sword was as strong as before the fight. She figured if she couldn't completly heal the wounds she could atleast make them bearable. Laying a hand on Sara's arm. "May I see your wounds, I have a certain way with making them feel better." She admitted with a slight blush her eye's on her feet.

((Just to be sure... Kiri, and the other woman are in the Earth nation, everyone else is in the City of Stone. Erik, and the messenger are in the Air nation. I just wanted to be sure everyone knew this, so that people don't start talking to others that are like 20 or more miles away. As for Azeal healing Sara, I don't mind.))

The woman ignored Kiri as she walked into the tavern, feeling the cold aura she emitted. It didn't seem to bother her one bit, but everyone else started to shiver slightly. Taking a sip from her glass of, she didn't even bother to look over at Kiri as she spoke. "You sure are an observant one." Her lip curled up slightly as she felt a tug at the corners. "You probably know why I am here anyways."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kirous? What do you mean? It was just a single human." The messenger started walking once again, not bothering to check if Erik had started as well. "Maybe you could help me find them, cant go asking everyone I just run into. I shouldn't have even told you in the first place..." If Erik did keep up, he could keep an eye on him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looking at Sara as she sat back down, with a look of pain on her face, he laid a hand on her arm. "Are you all right?" He asked, concern in his voice, forgetting the fact that Erik was some where, probably in trouble, and that there was other 'more important' matters that needed to be attended to.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

((I completely forgot about Zanio, and where I placed him so... He's going to just pop up out of no where...))

"Then... We will have to find out why they did." Zanio turned to Mia as he spoke walking into the area the rest where.
