"Rosalie, I'm going out for a second!!" called Zarina into the house. She heard a grunt in reply as she started to run into the forest nearby. She kept running until she reached a secluded spot. She wanted to hone her skill a bit more, so she took out her hide pouch, opened it, and controlled the water into coming out. She started to twirl around until it became a large twist coming from the pouch. She concentrated her energy at the nearby tree. she then turned left and ran full speed. When she reached a few feet away from the tree, she jutted her hand out, rather forcefully, and the twist hit the tree, causing large gashes in the tree and making it start to wobble back and forth. "Good thing i didnt go to my full extent...I wouldnt want another tree to fall down.." she said, glancing behind her at some empty cut tree stumps.
((just a question, where is everybody? am i the only one on duat at the moment?))

Arilam laughed as he watched Rihn take off after Rannek. He picked up the Nihopalaoa as gazed at it, impressed. 'That boy really is bad at lying, making something like this after claiming to be a teacher in training.' Arilam grinned. He didn't mind though. He was starting to like Rihn.
As for the merc, Rannek, Arilam couldn't decide what to make of him. Mercs in general were supposed to not be trusted, but Arilam knew he couldn't really speak bad of them, since he used to be one before being hired by the government of Olympus, and probably would be one again if this war ended before he died himself. Arilam was also suspicious about the man's current payload, what with the reputation the White Hawk had with the Olympians. Arilam would have to find out the jobs the man had pulled once he got a chance.
Arilam placed the plant back on the window sill and gazed across the clouds. Something in the distance caught his eye. It looked familiar. It looked very much like... "A Valhalla airbike? That's not good!" He turned and began to run up the stairs, hoping to reach Rannek in time.
((Yeah, there are no oceans on the Kingdom continents. The RP is Floating Earth, remember? There are lakes, though, or you can say you're on Lower Earth))

((All is well. I was just wondering where I'd gone. 0.o I seem to have a talent for disappearing.))
Half-visible amidst the clouds, Robert glanced back out of curiosity. He spotted something behind him aways. Apparently some of the other deckhands had noticed as well, clambering up to get a closer look. "Get something mounted on the back rail, just in case," Robert ordered one of them, putting his focus back on the matter at hand, or... in front of his hands.
The deckhands complied, bringing out a machinegun just for security. The larger heavy guns wouldn't do it; they just weren't accurate enough.

Karawan was knocked a bit out of the way as Arilam passed him, making his way up to where Rannek would surely be. How could he be so rude to me, right after I gave him a Twin Fruit! Angry, he sauntered back into the hanger and walked straight toward to the window. That rude to me? I'll take it back. As he entered the hanger, he slowed up, remembering the tense sensation he felt amidst the metal. Inching slowly for the window, Karawan looked for the flower, only to find it gone.
He looked on the floor. Not there. He wouldn't be foolhardy enough to squash a present like this, he thought, would he?
He stood up and looked out the window. Valhallan Airbike!
Karawan...
The voice resounded as if it filled the room. He turned around, trying to see who was talking to him. It didn't sound like either man, and as he turned about, not seeing anyone, he recognized the voice.
Bowing, he spoke: "I exhalt you, Green Word."
Karawan, mes hon dilivrit diouz ann drouk...
The diembodied voice spoke in a very old tongue. Karawan knew that it was not a god or spirit, but a manifestation of the magic within. But one must needs divine the Green Word to him, it does not...
"Oh Tree, Oh Flower, why do you find me now?"
The Voice kept speaking, and Karawan listened, paying attention. He didn't understand everything it said, but did understand one thing.
He launched up, running fast through and up the ship, to the room where Rannek and Arilam stood. Barging in, he said what the voice told him: The Star is Coming! The Star is Coming! Tree, Limb, Fruit—Soil, Seed, Rock—River, Ocean, Ice—Flame, Candel, Light! All fall to the metal hook, metal grip, metal glove of the Star!

She sat in the throne room of her airship. It was small, no more than a few hundred square feet, nothing like the Nidhogg, nothing like the warships that belonged to her other brothers. No, this paltry throne room had no antechamber, no grand chandelier, no statue, or attendants. Just a simple white room, to which her even more paltry apartments were adjacent. A smug and resentful grimmace crept across her face. Beate was not happy with this post.
The Rhinemaiden was comissioned on the day of her birth, twenty seven years ago. It was befitting that she get an outdated airship because, as her father said, she was outdated. Clutching to her gunblade, whom she affectionately named Priscilla, Beate creaked her neck and gazed around the empty throne room in her paltry airship.
"Andora."
A thin woman walked over to her, wearing a tight fitting black dress, her hair sleeked back into a tight. When she reached the princess, she curtsied and set a pen to her writing pad.
"Your Highness."
She got up, placing the Priscilla on her throne, walking slowly to her handmaiden. "Let the guard know, I have will to enter this war just the same my other brothers." She walked toward the door to go into the bridge, turning back to her. "I will show my father that despite my inability to control haze, I will be Queen of Valhalla!"
((New Character, as of today, edit: color. Karawan is black, Beate is olive))

Zarina had been at it for hours. She had been constantly knocking trees slightly out of place. She didnt want to be the one to replace them again. After about, 7 hours of more practicing, she leaned against a tree that she hadn't struck yet and took a swig of water. She was breathing hard. "That...Should be...enough..." she said as she looked up to the sky and closed her eyes.

{{kay disregard the statements I made in this before, caught up finally sweatdrop .}}
Rannek came through the doors to the top of his ship looking back over his shoulder with a bemused smile at Rhin. That smile disappeared when he noticed the appearance of the Valhalla airbike, and the massive airship beyond that. Now the military had offically arrived, but then surely that ment that Olympus' fleet would arrive any momen.......
The thoughts were knocked from his head as he caught sight of hundreds of dots along the sky-line; the Olympian air fleet had arrived!
"Gods this can not get much worse." Rannek swore turning fast and vaulting back down the stairs three at a time, "Oy Rhin, Arilam follow me to the cockpit and strap yourselves in."
He bolted fast for the front of the Hawk, knowing full well the tatics of the Olympian airship. Rannek reached the cockpit just as the radio crackled to life, a female's voice coming over the air-waves.
"By the command of the Olympian empire all civilian and trade-ships are ordered to land, or be caught in the cross-fire. This is your one and only warning." The voice cut short and the horizan flared with a thousands lights.
The Olympian fleet outnumbered the attacking airships three to one; but that could only be expected of the nation that had created this technology. Three Olympian ships to every enemy; which ment they were laying down a wave of supression fire in order to close with their heavy weapons. All these thoughts raced through Rannek's mind as he strapped himself into the pilots seat. His hands glided across the dash, flipping switching and sending up safety lights.
"This is going to suck!" He shouted as he cut the engines to the ship, taking it into a dive, then overburning them to send the ship screaming toward the ground.
