Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'm fine walking." Amaya said with a small smile. "I need to keep my stamina built high." She told her guard and friend.

((Gah, no I did not. I need a nap! gonk ))

Amaya nodded to let Olivia know she had heard her. Hearing the question, she grinned. It kind of seemed obvious, but it was a little early, so she would not tease Olivia. "Because, my friend. I could only develop those skills to a point at home in Aduial. But out in the real world, I must be much stronger to face what lies ahead of us." She said wisely.

"The best practice fighting I can do is actually fighting for my life out here." Amaya sighed. While it kind of sucked to say outloud, it was the truth. "We won't be able to stay long in each kingdom. Just long enough to gather troops."

Balon had watched the sun rise and was still enjoying the landscape. It was about time he started moving. He replaced his broken sword in his scabbard and dropped down from the tree. After swinging his great sword over his shoulder, he set off. He needed to find work.

At the top of a tall, tall, tree stood a young woman of long dark brown hair. Her eyes of matching color scanned the horizon of it's natural beauty. Totally unaware of the battle soon to begun in the lands she roamed freely. Her hair whipped in the wind rapidly. Up there it was windy but below on the forest floor it was quite calm. She looked up at the cloudy skies, colored by the sun's rays of light. Where would she head next. It had been three years since she left her home kingdom of Mereth. Would she visit the kingdom of faeries? Or possibly the kingdom of weres. Who knows? She only went where her feet took her. A little bird flutter past her in a hurry off somewhere, possibly to it's home. Yet there it was right in front of her. The Kingdom of Mereth. Does he dare venture where her known killer is seeking? Yes, of course she does.

Aonair lifted her palm to the sky and closed her eyes in concentration. Suddenly, a streak of light breached into the clouds above causing them to separate. Not too long after, a loud call of a beast was heard. Coming through the clouds was a large black winged horse of giant size. It's wings were large as it glided towards her. This Pegasus was named Maliore, one of her summonings she created. From the branch, she jumped up and off the tree. Maliore quickly flew under her to catch the falling young woman. Off the two went to her homeland. Her possible doom. Yet she was thrilled to embrace it after so long.

Reaching the gates on the kingdom, she landed the pegasus and hoped off his back. Petting his strong neck, she looked over at the guards who stood out front. There seemed to be no one pass through the gates either. Perhaps business was down at this time. Or maybe under lock down. As Aonair ran her fingertip down the horse's face, it's body disappeared into mist. Mysterious and gone. She approached the guards with confidence and fearless. As they watched her, they fixed up their postures ready to see what was to come from her.

"What is your business woman", the guard asked.

"The would by my business and not yours, correct? I am coming home to visit."

"Do you know the password?"

"What is this? A clubhouse? Stop speaking nonsense, you're wasting my time."

The guards were dumbfounded as she passed through them without a care. A sly smile played on her face as she tried not to laugh at her own action. Reaching the town didn't take too long. There were many people about the streets and even a group of children practicing their magic and showing off to one another. It had seemed that construction had advanced since she was there last. Thank god. Though there was a library she remembered going to as a young girl. Approaching this taller structure was like a step into her past. As she entered the building, her eyes widened. The number of books had increased enormously. It seemed to be like a maze. There weren't only men in the library but woman as well.

"That's good at least. They'll need to lead us to Azrod later. It's pretty close to Gannel. That may end up being our very last place before war is declared." Amaya sighed as she looked up at the sky.

Hearing someone shouting from within the library, the elder librarian sighed. "The library is supposed to be a quiet place!"

"I'll take care of it," Dais said and turned on his heel before the elderly librarian could blabber any further. He supposed that the librarian probably was going back tot he circulation desk.

Locating the source of the voice wasn't the hardest of tasks, even with the voice bouncing off the stacks of books and echoing. Granted, Dais probably had found the source a bit faster than the usual person would.

After going through several stacks, Dais rounded the corner of a bookshelf and found himself face to face with the source.

It was a girl, a dark haired girl with two buns on the side of her head. "Young lady, please do not aimlessly shout in the library. Now, do you need help locating a book?"


((With any luck, maybe the three of us in Mereth might end up in the same place in the library))

Cam looked up at the man and blushed deeply and bowed. "Forgive me, I meant not to scream." she said. "I, I got lost and I don't know where I am. I found a book, but I'd like to find one on healing magic too, and...I'm so sorry!" she said again. She hadn't meant to scream. She didn't even realize she was yelling.

"I'll pay any repercussions if that is what you so wish." she said to him. "Just, please, I need to find this other book. I tried to look everywhere else, but..." she didn't want to go into the stories she had with the other libraries, and looked up at Dais with her large, innocent eyes. It was obvious that she hadn't been in a library before.
