Welcome to Gaia! ::

((The potions are different color I hope...))

"Thank you, it does feel much better." Luna said as she placed the potions besides her that Melody handed her. "He looks like he could be out for a while but, I guess he could wake up any second. Just hope he won't need it." Even though her ankle felt better, she didn't want to get up, mainly because she was too comfortable where she was sitting. "Good luck!" She said to the group as they had headed towards the city walls as she looked over at Ty, and just sighed as she relaxed listening to the faint sounds of the city, and watching the birds in the sky.

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

"So... This is the city..." Jaden said as they walked in the city. "I don't think I have ever been in one before... Its too noisy and crowded, how do people live like this?" Shaking his head he walked down the roads of the city. "Probably using proper manners, and showing respect. Atleast thats how we do it in elven culture. But humans... Sometimes they remain a mystery to me."

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

Larris wanted to run off down the alleys and explore the city as they walked through it. A new area, and new possibilities. So much he wanted to do, and so little time. He knew if he stayed with the group, there could be some "fun" to be had, but if he left, he could have even more "fun", but wouldn't have any help out of sticky situations.

Rikku

Rikku nodded as they entered the room, to find that the food that was their previously, had now been cleared and was now replaced with a small envelope that contained their invitation to dinner, and a folded up note. "Note number Two!" SHe said pulling it out and reading it.



"...." Rikku sighed heavily. "Things are not looking good over here..... atleast we don't need to worry about the king going crazy though... I wonder what about me is protecting them though... it must be the fact that they are all so close to the tree." SHe thought looking over at Alexander. "Alexander? Do you feel any different? Do you notice any dark presences around yourself, or any thing at all?" She setting the book she had grabbed under her pillow and hiding it.

KIllian

"You have to remember that not a village like where the elves are, this... this is a city things here are bigger and faster than anywhere else, and no matter how interesting things here may look." He said pointing over to a small merchant's stand, where the owner played little gambling games and stuff with the customers for money. "it is best to look with your eyes.." He said as they watched someone have to fork over all the money in their wallet. The grouped walked up to a large gate and killian waved at the guards who promptly let him and them in and they entered a grand courtyard, with fountains fountains and flowers everywhere, and before them stood the castle, and even though they were on castle grounds, there was still a decent amount of people enjoying the last bit of their day. "People love to just come and sit in the courtyard, this place is so nice it is an amazing place to look at the stars too!" He said looking up at the castle. "We're here, is there anything you guys want to do before we head inside?"

Melody

"Wow this city is even more busy than Terracotta!" SHe said as they entered the city "and that is saying something." She said as they entered the courtyard. "Wow this is beautiful..." The ground was made up of a large walk way made up of mosaic pieces of marble, with a large statue/fountain in the middle, with many little walk ways that lead off and around the castle, and led down to the lake of allies. "No there really isn't anything in town that I need to do she stated looking up at the castle before them.

"Yea... I guess so. I just don't know how humans can live in such a crowded place surrounded by so many walls though." Jaden shrugged and shook his shoulders as they entered the courtyard.

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

"So much to do here as well... Terracotta became a bit boring after a while." Larris commented at the end of Melody's statement. He could barely hold his excitement, and want to go run off into the rest of the city.

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

Gazing into the sky, Luna sighed as she watched some birds fly past her vision.

Alexander finds the name Rellik and begins reading it too himself. Well, this is certainly an interesting story this guy has He thinks as he reads the background on rellik.

((I was think more of a prince crescendo from Eternal sonata but still I cant think of a name... it has to be something regal and royal sounding, tasslehoff just sounds kind of silly....))

RIkku

Rikku appeared at the feast, meeting and greeting the heads of the harpy tribe.

"Um excuse my lady... but would you do me the pleasure off offering your blessing my family... Our daughter is to be wed soon and your blessing would put my heart at ease that she will find a suitable husband." He said placing his head down

"of course!" She said placing her hand on his head and chanting a small phrase in some bizarre language, before a slight flash of light as he looked back up. "May your daughter be blessed with the gift of eternal happiness, as long as the sacred tree stands." She said kindly and looked over at Velu who was glaring at her angrilly before suddenly realizing.

Velu

"Where might your serving boy be this evening?" He asked with a coy grin accross his face.

Rikku

"He has become ill lately, he complains about headaches, and a feeling of sickness... I worry but I am sure he is fine." SHe said watching the corners of Velu's mouth curve into a slightly wicked smile. "please do not concern yourself with it, I shall have him treated when we return home, come now let us eat." She said beginning the feast.

King _______

"Nice to meet all of you, friends of Killians are always welcome here... and though she was a very calm girl...she did have everything taken from her, he was basically the only thing here that she knew and when we were going to seperate them she did not like that... not to mention with the new addition of such powerful spiritual powers on such a young, uncontrollable body... when she got upset so did her powers..." He stated. "Normally the priestess is awakened slowly, as she comes of age, but it hit rikku all at once, the priests were didn't know what to think of it, but considered it an omen, that the tree felt something bad was going to happen and had to awaken the next priestess early enough for her to have the strength to fight by the time she was of age." He said stepping down off of his thrown. "So I decided to take in both Rikku and Killian as my own children considering that I am unable to have any of my own." He stated. "Anyway Please tell me what is going on." He told killian.

Killian

"Don't panic RIkku has it under control, but Velu basically has Rikku and our friend alexander "trapped" in the treetop tower." He stated watching the king c**k his eyebrow in confusion. "We came to get lady Cefia for our friend Ty... but something about Velu was wrong and he freaked out and sent her away and is forcing rikku and alexander to stay behind... he is acting quite unlike himself..." killian said Distraught over the whole situation

Melody

"Killian you are leaving out parts." melody Corrected. "Ty and Cefia are in love but the father won't allow the marraige... and rikku intervened just like she did in the dry rocks with that man who was part of something called the "Dark raven Clan"" She stated. looking over to jaden. "That is about right... right? that was the whole story so far right?" She asked hoping he could clarify anything that she might have missed.

((Names for King: Asgarth, Asgard (Prounced As-Gaurd) Nemphis. I'm sure I'll come up with more))

"Rellik, certainly has a troubled past" Alexander says. He flips the page back to Rellik's "As stated before Rellik once held a mortal life, but is one of two (Minos being the other) Who was human. In life Rellik was a great warrior by the name of Victor Nemphis. Victor was a master with any weapon he used and has over 1000 one on one duel victories as well as numerous accounts of defeating numerous opponents by himself, the largest number being ten. He was given the rank of lord by the First king of Sakura long ago. He had survived the sinking of the former islands each tribe had inhabited before coming here. But beneath the surface Victor was a broken man. His wife and child, there names were lost with all documents and he refused too name them, hadn't survived the flood. He was angry, mostly at the People of the sea, but mostly at himself. He flet he should have gone with them. In the following years Victor was very violent, adding more and more wins too his list. Even challenging members of other tribes, and winning. He became a phenomen on the island. A first true legend of Sakura, next too the tree. There are so many stories that it is hard too tell what is true and what is false. One account said he cut through a mage's sheild, another he beat five wolf warriors. and another saying he beat five heavily armored castle gaurds at once. Nether the less He was still enraged on the inside. the day came when he fought one of the Sea People. It was the most brutal victory he'd had. Several years later he died of a serious illness. His anger had tainted his spirit and he was made a solider in hell's legions.he quickly proved himself and became Lord Rellik of the eight circle. The eight circle is for thos wjo commits crimes of violence. Murderers, assassins, dishonorable soliders. All those who commit violent acts are his too punish." He said.

Asuis
The Toad Hermit

Asuis hated the city; he desperately was missing his swamp and hut. Asuis was forced to actually leave his retirement home and go to this exact city looking for a certain type of anti-poison; it seemed a special breed of serpents had made their home in the swamp lands Asuis lived in and it became necessary to make precautions just in case he was ever bitten. As well, business if the scholar category had been slow lately, so Asuis needed to pick up supplies in this city. Sure, the local amphibious tribes could have given him supplies, but the anti-venom was only made here, since the serpents were originally from this area, but they migrated into the swamps. The old toad used his walking stick to enter the city and already was extremely confused at his surroundings.

I hate settlements...Nothing but a bunch of violence and swindlers.

((Yes, we start this seemingly a long time ago...Something about her giving me a picture then asking for a story out of it.))
