Welcome to Gaia! ::

Why was there always a lack of communication between him and his guards? Murder and no one had even thought about informing him last night. He'd been pretty much up all night too... Turning to the guard, he frowned. "Victim?" Also didn't appreciate being told that they needed to 'start checking things out'. "Potential suspects? Those new visitors that they let in yesterday evening... Have they left?" Murders were not a common occurrence within the city walls, but protocol was no stranger to him. Had to take every potential factor into account.

He glanced at the robed figure that had breifly spoken in thier general direction before leaving and then turned her attenion back to the girl. "Would that of been your friend?" Eating at his food some before a small smile and nod. "Good to know he's keeping a good reputation while I'm away. But very nice to know you're pleased...I strive to make my customer's stay as pleasant as possible. I would adivse you and your friend to be careful though. Air is a bit foul literally and metaphorically today."


He knew that look, it was not a happy one when the commander wore it. "Recently discovered. Seems it was one of the nercromantic persuation. Must have been in town for supplies. Just a body, some blood, and some feathers." Didn't like that tone either. "No suspects yet...still gathering such." A flick of his tail lightly and a tilt of his head. "It's impossible to leave through the gates right now, they're sanded closed."


Savryn was indeed walking the wall of the city...one gloved hand trailing the rough surface to keep her following it's path. Rounded...thick and cold at the base. Probably from the water...was probably warm up top with the sun and such. Reaching up she pulled her hood a little more securely over clouded eyes and continued her walking. Chy however was skimming around the city, looking for a potiential meal that he could swoop down upon.


Then blinked at her, exchanged a look and then blinked again. Was that what they thought it was? Some dragon-folk and elves were old enough to remember them. "I'm sorry M'lady, the sandstorm blocked the gates, they're still being dug out." She unfolded her wings then. "But I would like to offer you a personal escort into the city." Would just pick the little one up and fly on up and over. "Would that be acceptable?"

Necromancer... Not an easy target themselves, being skilled in the magical craft and whatnot. Though his eyes narrowed slightly at the information provided. "Feathers? Bring me one of them. And keep me informed on new details as well." But the guard as right, it was hard for most to leave the city as of now. Which indeed was an advantage to figuring out the case on his part. "Two of the elves, they had winged mares." Speaking of which, he extended his own wings and glided down to the lower ramparts as a figure was spotted outside in the dunes. Shapeshifter... He was knowledgeable enough to know what that entailed and it excited him. Giving an agreeing nod to dragonkin guard that had already offered the woman a lift, he looked down to inspect her more closely. Fur-tufted ears, as the legends speak of.

Eilynne closed her eyes as she was lifted and let the onrush of air carry her forward. She was well used to flying, finding it one of her favorite forms to use. She waited until she was set down and nodded in gratitude to the dragon. "My gratitude, dragon maiden." Reaching into her robes she withdrew a brilliantly shining necklace in gold with a huge gem, and dangled it for a moment, letting it catch the light and glitter. It wasn't quite red but it wasn't quite any other color either. Presenting it to the dragon, she lifted the mirror around her neck and studied her reflection for a moment. Tucking her hair down from the flight she shook her head slowly. "I need to speak with your leader."

Well Caden woke up early this morning, after all the guards had roating shifts so sometimes they got up early in the mornings or even worked late at night, it kind of screws around with thier internal clock but one does get use to it after awhile since there are more then enough guards in the city. But Caden wasn't doing his job right now since it wont start for another hour, no instead he sat at one of the many fountains in the city staring into the water as he sat against the edge, he had been told of the murder that had happened last night from a guard on duty already and it worried him a little when told the details. "Maybe it's her..." Well now he had that weird elf on his mind, the one that kept her hood up most of the time, he had heard of Necromancers before and have been told of the way thier magic can be used, also he had heard that not all of those mages were bad as protrayed but he would have to see that for himself. Still the magic she used yesterday stuck in his head and he had to wonder about it again, so with a small sigh the soilder picked up a stone and tossed it in the fountain, hearing a soft plunk as the stone smacked against the surface before sinking. After staring in the water for a moment the soilder got up and walked away, he didn't feel like sticking around one spot for an hour, besides something felt odd; his whole body gave off a vibe that made him shiver, maybe something might happen today all he had to do was find out himself.

"We are protective of each other, I suppose. Savvy just has to protect someone and I am younger than her so maybe that's why." She finished up the last few bites of her breakfast and nodded. "It was easy to tell. That wind came out of nowhere as did the sudden fierceness with which it moved the sand. And now a murder in your streets. Times of unrest are never easy and there's a lack of life in the air..."

Eilynne studied the dragon maiden closely. "Keep it close, it will help in times of peril." She looked around the city, taking it all in, but not a single expression crossed her face. Finally, her gaze turned to Kaznec and she met his, glancing up at his face. A small crease formed in her brow for the moment and then she nodded, then spread her hands in her own kind's gesture of respect. "Greetings Kaznec." Thus taking to waiting expectantly.

"Savvy? Pretty name." Wasn't exactly elven...more pirate lingo but he figured it was a nickname of some sorts as well. "Well, it is good to see you look out for one another. Here in Ilindal, that's one of our core values and ways. We have to look out for each other. Especially with the way things are." Picking up dishes he carted them over to the bar, setting them down and tossing a look at one or two other patrons who trickled down the steps from the rooms above. "We survive well enough, and just hope we can make things right again soon as possible."

This place was of considerable size...she knew she had at least walked half of the wall fully...and she still wasn't back where she started. Giving a sigh she folded her arms across her mid section and tucked her hands into opposing sleeves. There was no point in continuing on...it was just too big. A whistle them, waiting patiently in that one spot a moment before weight on her shoulder came. "Good boy, give me a fly over, would you?" That was she could get a look over the city without running all around...and find what places she needed to get her supplies at. Why Chy promptly went about to, giving a pass over the city as well as the Chimera and back to the city, up the walls and tower and all the levels of land...big city indeed.

She nodded and gave a slight smile. "I will M'lady." Well it wasn't everyday that you got a present from one of them. She was indeed old enough to remember them...and had an inkling about what she was here for...it may not bode well.

Lycear was indeed in the afroementioned chamber, being breifed on what was going on now. Murder was certinally one of the last things he would expect...sure things were bad but the people of Ilindal simply did not turn on each other as thus. Which meant it only reasoned that those who were not residents were the cause. There were a few in the city. Currently he held up a bird feather between his talons, examining it slightly with careful eye.

Well the time was ticking like it usually does and it was getting closer to when Caden had to go and do his job, so with a small sigh he look a quick glance at the window of a store once again then made his way towards the walls of the city, after all he had to report in for duty and there were many places where he can do that, he was just closer to the one stationed at the walls so he would head over there. Another sigh came from him as he walked the streets, the storm quickly came and went and it seemed everything was returning to normal, well as much as normal could get around here since it seemed that people were becoming more unrest, though it's not like the guards have been ignoring it, they've just been keeping a sharp eye on anyone who seemed to look like they could get pissed at the drop of a pin. Anyways as Caden got closer to the walls he happened to see someone, squinting he realized it was that girl from yesterday, the one with the drow he escorted to the inn. So with a smile and a shake of his head he made his way down the street, though he kept a good eye on her because he thought of her as an odd one, even for an elf.
