Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shizuka tapped Mokuzai on the shoulder, when he turned, she tapped her head and smiled. She had heard everything he just thought. She turned to the other two, the man had climbed onto the eagle's back. Shizuka smiled and motioned for the woman to follow. The guards were closing in now, many of them had bows. As Shizuka watched them raise their bows, she pointed to the left. The bowmen all fired two hundred feet to the left.

Arihelia accepted the man's help to get down from the eagle after his introduction she stood silent waiting for the other man's intruduction but instead she got a guess at from where she was, she was surprised he had been so close, Mokuzai excused himself to greet another woman..though she seemed to have mixed emotions about seeing him, they got back on the eagle ready to leave after some soldiers started to approach, "my name is Arihelia" she said, after they seemed to leave the problem behind and then she addressed the other man "you are correct I am from Allara but from Naya" she answered him.

Mokuzai gave a silent command and the eagle leapt off the ledge, the beast flapped it's wings slightly harder due to the extra weight.
Mokuzai puzzled posing the riddle of the tome he had discovered to his new companions. He had been pouring over the mis-interpreted translations in his mind. They made no sense of course, but his translation spell had done it's best to, at least, translate emotions and themes. It was all dark, most of it was morbid. one "line" that that had stuck out went something like.
"Frozen bodies litter the Sea, tongues thirst in the Dead Mouths"
The tome went on and on with all sorts of nonsensical ramble. Mokuzai shook his head. The tome was most likely a dead end, perhaps the ramblings of some idiotic necromancer. he would find out soon enough. Shizuka was a comfort to have with him. She would help him with his research, of that he was sure, She couldn't resist a mystery.
Mokuzai barely steered, the eagle knew the city well, as it should, being from Ravnica anyway. They flew towards Utvara. Nearer to the abandoned Nivix than to Orzhova. Mokuzai pointed out landmarks as they flew. At last Mokuzai's Ravnica home came into view, it was a moderately large tower, the gothic style of ravnica was broken by the web of pipes, wires and gizmos that covered the exterior of the building. Mokuzai looked back at his host's stunned faces.
"This tower was abandoned after Niv-Mizzet left and his guild dissolved, I have friends in the Azorious. I was able to acquire this for rather small coin."
Mokuzai explained.

Mokuzai nodded to Draven.
"It is a shame you never saw the guilds at their finest. The Izzet were brilliant mechanics and magicians. The breaking of the Guildpact brought much turmoil to the people and they were hard-pressed to find new organizations to fill the gaps. Still, places like this are scattered around the city, reminders of the past."
The eagle soared down and landed upon a balcony large enough for a dragon. Mokuzai hopped off and extended a polite hand to help his guests off as well.

Shizuka accepted Mokuzai's hand and stepped off the eagle, when she turned, she saw a line of Boros rocs flying towards them. Shizuka strode out to the edge of the platform and pointed the riders off past the tower. The riders waved their thanks for the advice and the rocs flew by, oblivious to them. Shizuka turned back to the group. She looked at Mokuzai and asked him with sign language about the Book she had heard him thinking about on the trip.

Shizuka nodded and moved to Mokuzai side, she wrapped her arms around his left arm and put her head on his shoulder. She reached out and connected with Mokuzai's mind, but she felt it disturbed by her presence, she withdrew and looked at him quizzically. She knew that he had always disliked people probing into his mind, but he and her had known each other for so long, Shizuka assumed that he would enjoy her presence. Nonetheless, she stayed on his arm and watched the others silently.

Arelia got down from the eagle and stretched herself as she looked around the place, she looked back at the eagle an pet it, "thanks" she whispered

All Mokuzai had to say was food and Draven was on end. He waited calmly until Mokuzai finished speaking, but afterwards he was gone quick enough to make the rug spin. He was quickly up and around as per the instructions only managing to catch himself before he hit the larder. Draven composes himself and inspects the enchantment...
Its easily removed just by opening the door and returns as soon as it is closed again. He finds some roasted bird but tries not to take the whole thing seeing as that would seem quite gluttonous. He simply takes a nice portion and returns the re-wrapped bird back on the shelf.
