Seph smirked placing her arms around Itaka and lifted him up into the air with her "Well this should speed up the journey provided you don't start wiggling about. Now enjoy the ride" she smiled taking him over the crowds of leavers making their way to the buses. "Do you think you could get used to flying, or rather being carried about like so?"
Alpha grunted I'll believe it when I see it, all their wings give em is a slightly better hiding place though most hunters make good climbers anyway. Seeq hunters are surprisingly fit despite their physical appearence suggesting otherwise" he chuckled before politely saying no thank you to a small group of people offering to help him down the stairs. "I'm not that old looking am I?" he whispered.
Hebal paused as she bounced up and down on her chair keen to move "Zadina is already street smart and is getting more and more clever all the time so theres not really any need to teach him anything. Isn't that right" she grinned bouncing up and ruffling the elf's hair. "You should be thinking of taking Satoshi on some of your adventures sometime when the group members are all off doing their own things"

Felina giggled quietly "I think I could succeed in giving you that sort of look if you let me give you a bit of a makeover. Knowing my family they will want you all posh and fancy looking for the wedding, especially if they end up giving you a mini crown or something like that" she answered almost skipping out the arena now the crowds were smaller.
Satoshi raised her eyebrow "Well sure I wouldn't say no to adventuring though I seem to manage a good portion of that even when travelling by myself. Could always take the lot of you somewhere nice and exotic for an adventure if you don't mind camping out in the middle of the rain forest"

Oassu smirked "I do quite like the thought of getting my own little mini crown but it would be fine if I had to dress up for the wedding, of course I'd do something like that though do you think it'll be small or massive?" he asked never having seen a royal wedding before.
Gil nodded getting a little impatient waiting for the judgemaster "Sure Zadina will be a right little ragamuffin by the time he goes on the pilgrimage probably, hopefully he'll have mastered the airship by then, how long until she has to go on it anyway Hebal?" he asked.
Itaka chuckled holding still so Seph didn't have to struggle "You're getting much stronger when flying if you think you can carry me all the way but I guess I could get used to it, though it feels kinda silly just dangling here like this you know" he said.
Barbaros smirked "Hey old isn't a bad thing, if I could get people to help me like that still your human form is still pretty fine looking considering your what....200...300 years old" he said spying Itaka flying off in the distance.
Jenna shrugged "Well I don't really plan on going anywhere near Seeq territory bit rough even for my liking though they can be funny at times" she said "Individually they can be fine but plenty of them are way too violent and gruff, probably due to the fact they used to all be vikings" he said.
Zadina nodded "I'm really happy with everything I've learned while travelling" he said fixing his hair "Me and Melanae and Ardie will be super good at looking after her though you could always come and say hi to her while we travel" he said.

Seph chuckled lowering her hands slighty,hoping to make the flight that little bit easier and secure for Itaka "Yeah I'm good with my wings even after all so many years without one. Though might need to take stops or do a litle walking if they start to hurt from carrying too much. Just think of it as a privelage as your the first person I've ever taken propely flying out of all the boyfriends I've had" she snickered.
Alpha shook his head "Nah I'm in the 600s actually and second oldest in the group in terms of years though obviously oldest physically. Heh I wish I was 200 again as I had major fun that century despite at a young age ending up with loads of kids" he laughed before letting out a loud yawn almost like a roar. "The seeq aren't that funny and violent really, thats just a bad reputation because they tend to be more... outspoken than most species"
Hebal remained silent a good minute before eventually sighing "Aww I dnno when Amane will go travelling. Just whenever she's ready which I guess will be in the next 10 years. You'll be a well old man and so much more legendary when your that much older Gil" she laughed cleaning her ears. "I love the rain forest me, theres so many pretty colours in the trees"

"It will be huge without a doubt" Felina answered knowing for a fact that everyone would want to make her wedding as flashy as possible. "Sure it won't be as massive as Elithana's wedding but should still be made into a really big event since it's one of the king's daughters. We'll just have to be careful not to give my mum too much power in arranging the ceremony as she'll only want to make it all the more flashy too"
Satoshi smiled leaning forward and giving Gil a kiss "It is so cheating if you use an airship while on your pilgrimage, you need to wander around on foot to make it count. Need to get good at map reading at some point unless you just want to wander around and hope you eventurally hit the right location" she pointed out failing to notice someone kocking on the room door.

Oassu shrugged "Why won't it be as big as Elithana's wedding, not that I'm really bothered but I don't see why she's more special compared to you" he said "And I doubt your mum would want to plan a wedding for a rogue like me anyway" he said
Gil smiled "I'm sure they'll actually need an airship to reach some places" he said returning the kiss "Though I'm sure using an airship isn't that bad if they need speed could make it the fastest pilgrimage ever" he said shuffling slightly uncomfortable with Hebal's comment "I won't be THAT old really..." he muttered indignantly.
Itaka nodded "Hey you don't need to carry me the whole way, like you've been flying a good portion of your life I've walked most of mine so I don't need to fly the rest of my life but how many of your boyfriends did you have both your wings for?" he asked.
Barbaros let out a low whistle "Can see a lot in that time though shoulda taken more care back then if you ended up with too many kids" he said as they stopped at the crowded bus stop Barbaros grunted "Typical queues and cramped buses"
Jenna shrugged having expected this "Well the Seeq I knew was quite a comedian but sure they probably just get a bad rep because of their complete incompatibility with magic, they share that with dwarves but I hear they are some of the greatest fighters out there, shame we didn't see many in the tournament." she said.
Zadina's ear twitched as he picked up on someone knocking at the door "Hmm maybe that's the Judgemaster coming to say hi though don't be sad Miss Hebal you are probably more than welcome to become her guardian and go with her and spent lots of quality family time together" he said giving her a gentle hug before going to open the door.

Seph shook her head "I've spent a lot more time in my life unable to fly due to my lack of a wing after one of the many fights that broke out in the demon wars. But I would like to think of this as a test to see how far I can push myself and my strength. And just two, one relationship lasted a couple of months and then there was Alpha's son. I haven't had that many partners really condering how old I am... maybe 10 so averaging out at about 1 every 30 years" she worked out.
Hebal smiled but shook her head "No way, gotta let Amane go out and see the world with friends rather than with her mum all the time. She'll be fine with you guys. Well ten years is a big age change for human and a lot can happen in that amount of time can't it and..." she stopped jumping a little hearing a louder knock on the door.
Alpha snickered "The demon world didn't exactly have the birth contol now around but I wouldn't go changing that part of the past if I ever had a time machine of some sort. And sure with that many years you get to travel all over the world, learn a foreign language or two and study up proper on loads of academic subjects" he chuckled knowing he had several diplomas somewhere. "Only the most dedicated come here if you live as far away from Kunec as the seeq do. Thats why theres so many more gria"

Felina grinned ruffling Oassu's hair "Well fortunately she doesn't know just how much of a little rogue you actually are. But it's because Elithana is the oldest child which makes her the most important one in our lot. Even when mum gives birth, until the boy grows up to an age when he is fit to rule Elithana is the one to keep an eye on. By law an elven king or queen must be over the age of 500 in order to rule the kingdom so if you inherit the throne before that age an older family member is expected to sort most of the matters out" she explained.
Satoshi scratched her head a little confused "But I thought the whole pointn of a pilgrimage was to prove yourself worthy by travelling bout with as few short cuts as possible or is the translation wrong? Ten years can chage lives but Gil will only be about middle age at most which is hardly a time to retire" she chuckled watching as the judgemaster with her helmet missing made her way through the fancy doors.
"Apologies for taking so long to arrive. You have no idea just how chaotic things can get for a ceremony like that one" Evori greeted them before quickly moving over to the draw to collect the papers she had left earlier. "So what do you think of this office. It's really over the top luxurious isn't it"

Oassu smirked "Yeah guess we're lucky don't know how she'll react once she does find out but does that mean that someone like Zadina...or even you aren't old enough to full rule the kingdom on your own?" he asked linking arms with Felina in the queue.
Gil shrugged "I'm not sure on the definition of a pilgrimage I just thought it was a journey" he said getting up to greet the Judgemaster "Greetings Judgemaster Evori, it certainly is a nice office you have but no apology is required for the delay it's understandable a show like that would take a lot of effort" he said with a slight bow.
Zadina nodded bowing beside him "Yes Miss Evori it was really quite spectacular thank you for putting it on this year" he said politely before moving over to Hebal "I suppose her office is a bit extravagant but even she considers it over the top" he murmured.
Itaka nodded "Well sure if it helps you feel any better at flying you can use me for practice anytime though I'm sure we could manage some better aerial workouts for you" he chuckled waving to a bewildered Gria they passed "Complex is nice and quiet tonight guess most people have left by now" he said
Barbaros shrugged "I'm sure, more time to do things than we humans have but in our limited time we still get a couple of important things done, might not have any fancy academics under my name though" he shrugged.
Jenna scratched her chin "Well makes sense I guess but where is it the Seeq live anyway Alpha? I never really learned much of them and the few in Agralia I knew weren't born in their country" she sighed "Guess I still know next to nothing of the world despite my travels" she grumbled

Seph paused taking a proper look down for the first time "That or they are either resting and enjoying the ceremony and its celebrations. Though your not exactly going to find all that many flying exercise spheres just because we're in Kunec" she smirked dropping Itaka a few inches from the ground as they arrived at their cabin. "Is it bad I'm tempted to take all the free soaps and things they left for us in the cabin?"
Hebal nodded whispering back rather loudly "Yeah her office is like the ultimate showy offy place in terms of luxury" she smiled at the judgemaster not sure whether to bow or something to Evori "Don't be sorry about the lateness thing miss. The display was lovely and so worth keeping us waiting and we could have even played the mini golf if we had to wait longer"
Alpha smiled choosing not make a comment on Jenna's lack of geography "They hand around on the same continent as the bangaa. The north west one with all the canyons though they do like to sail so its a bit odd you've never seen more in your time. You don't need the academics really, its just a good way to change identities when in a bit of a tight spot. Can have one of my diplomas if you fancy a lazy career change" he joked.

Felina shook her head "I'm over 500 years old... just which means if some really bad family accident happened I could rule the kingdom. But no Zadina would need a regent or some kind of representative to rule for the time being. Apparently really young kings aren't mentally mature enough to take on so much responsibility. Still I would like to think I'm looking good for my age hehe"
Satoshi stood up extending her arm out for a hand shake "You've done a good job with the tournament this year despite the one or two obvious issues you've had to deal with on top of organising the events. So what brings you here to meet us this evening" she wondered a little curious.
Evori hesitated picking up the papers put to one side on the coffee table "Well it is good manners to come say congrats to the champion and to make sure he or she is ok in terms of any medical treatment or transport etc. Thats the main purpose of the visit which usually doesn't take long and then theres the matter of collecting the remaining paperwork. Unfortunately now the tournament is over there is going to be a lot of things to fill out, especially on security" she sighed.

Oassu chuckled "Yeah you're the best looking girl I know" he said kissing the tip of her ear as a bus pulled up "Though I agree I can see Zadina being swayed to make some silly decisions for the kingdom, especially if he had Hebal as an advisor....candy houses and trampoline floors I'm thinking" he said.
Gil nodded "So....do I need to sign some papers or something?" he asked casting his eyes over the papers lying on her desk "Though we already have some transportation plans so we're all set to leave" he said folding his arms "Thanks for the hospitality there's been throughout the tournament" he added.
Zadina nodded in agreement with Hebal opting to be quiet while the Judgemaster and Gilgamesh wrapped up the remaining business in the tournament.
Itaka snickered "Well you don't exactly have much space to hide them though feel free to do so if you like it doesn't even constitute as theft" he said settling down on the ground "Though I bet you could fine exercise balls for flying in here if no where else, I hear they have races and stuff at other times of the year so some athletes train for it" he said.
Jenna shrugged "Not really never had any proper schooling and grew up Agralia to be honest this is my first serious trip outside the country" she said shrugging "I don't think you quite get how most people live Alpha, not everyone is a routine traveller some are happy with the one place." she said
Barbaros groaned hearing Alpha's offer "I'm sure that would end well" he muttered wondering what Alpha's diplomas consisted of as the queue shuffled into the bus "I doubt I'm going to need to change identity any time soon, got no serious enemies that would necessitate it" he said

Seph laughed opening the door and allowing Itaka in first "What do you mean we don't have much room, I can always summon up my bottomless bag of stuff and slide them all in, I've even started working on compartments for different things" she answered sitting down on the bed. "Though what would I need an exercise ball for? It's not like I need to have a game of fetch for exercise" she added a litte confused.
Hebal shuddered "You have my sympathy, paperwork is so boring and takes forever. It makes my head spin when it should be singing" she told Evori resiting the urge to try and take a peek at the papers. "We're all adventuring after this" she cheered her mood increasing at random.
Alpha shuffled forward surprised at how fast people were getting loaded onto the bus "I know that not everyone travels but I would like to hope that people would get taught geography at some point in their lives. Demons roam about a lot in the demon world since there was always territory issues"

Felina burst out laughing nodding her head "Yeah I could see that happening but its usually more serious than that. Lots of nobles see it as the perfect opportunity to scramble for extra power and status with a vulnerable ruler. But Zadina isn't going to rule the kingdom, he's like 7th in line to the throne if we include the baby. At most he'll get wealth and a fancy title if his brother isn't found anytime soon"
Evori smiled but said nothing for a moment as she headed over to the filing cabinet "I'm surprised nobody has been around yet. Don't worry the only paperwork you need to do is a checking out form which is basically just a date, time and signature and then theres an optional survey about how much you enjoyed or in some cases didn't enjoy the facilities available" she laughed nervously handing both Gil and Satoshi a form. "Still good luck with the adventuring. Hopefully you have somewhere nice in mind for the festival if not with familty"
Satoshi raised her eyebrow glancing down at the paper "Well sure I don't mind filling these in I guess" she muttered reaching for one of the pens on the table. "I'll just be home with the family for the dragon festival. We're sort of splitting up for a little bit"

Oassu raised an eyebrow curious "And what title would he get? He's alreadya lord isn't he? And why does he need to wait a little longer?" he asked "Though I think Zadina is mature enough not to let elven nobles take advantage of him now" he said
Gil nodded popping a pen out of his armour "RIght then, we'll be fine for the dragon festival, though don't all the participants need to fill out this form rather than just us?" he asked as worked his way down the form.
Itaka chuckled "Well my understanding is that the racers fly with weights like balls and stuff at increased speeds to improve their durability and stuff" he said "Might have an effect on you" he said going to get his bag of clothes "Shame had plenty of fond memories in this bed" he chuckled sitting down with Seph.
Jenna shrugged "Like I said no schooling for me therefore no chance to learn, I suppose I could always buy a map or something or simply listen into the odd news report on whats going on in the world" she said with a shrug.
Barbaros grinned "Yeah you'd be surprised how many people don't actually know Geography, I know a bit since I was a pirate for a tiny bit gotta see a few maps then learned a bit about the world then, know more than you Jenna" he laughed earning him a fierce glare from Jenna.
