Welcome to Gaia! ::

"What would be difficult, the part about merging the ring to the blade, or the part of learning the techniques?" I ask. I also look for Mashai'i, wanting his input in on the matter, seeing as the ring was, after all, what contained his essence.
"Would you even want me to attempt such an endeavour? Would it actually help out at all with combining my sword techniques with my channeling ones?"

Moriah:
"Both, really," Jima'ei replies.
Mashai'i shakes his head.
"No, I don't think it would help, really," he says. "It might, but I highly doubt it."

Maxwell:
Mihi'o nods.
"As we travel, I shall teach you," she says. "If it truly is Hishia'rinu, then you will all need the best we can give you."

Everyone:
Once everyone posts at least once, I am going to time skip as you guys begin your journey, unless someone has an objection to this. Please PM me if you have an objection; do not post on here about it, please.

"Oh... Then it's kinda pointless then..." I say in a rather disappointed voice.
"Well, we should take this man to the authorities so that he can be brought to justice. I'll be merciful to spare your life, but I won't pardon your crimes." I say as I hold my sword in a more threatening fashion. towards our assaiant.
"To the town, start walking! Any attempts to escape will make me take your leg and drag you there myself, any resistance will be treated as an attempt to kill me and I will take your life for collateral." I say in a stern, resolute voice.
"I will be accompanying you on your way back to make sure you get there."

Fi'hai... What's the first step I should take in my training to get stronger?

I look around and suddenly feel a very strong pull from the sky. I do prefer walking when I'm with a group, but, at the same time, I miss the sky so bad.

Everyone:
I'm skipping Marco and Maxwell, as they have taken far too long to post. If they do not resume posting, they will simply be controlled by me until they do, as they have been holding up this RP quite often.

Everyone:
Kirino took an hour-long nap, during which the others all trained hard. Moriah, Mashai'i, Silla, and Hahai'i escorted the man to the town without issue; they returned quickly and trained. Shitai'ei explained the details of her powers to Eleutherius; they trained to master them. Atlanta and Fi'hai trained extensively on the mastery of his fire magics. Manra was comforted and trained by Rai'o. Marco, Nashai'o, Maxwell, and Mihi'o used each other as sparing partners in order to better their skills.



Everyone:
Traveling direction: south.
Terrain encountered: river (quarter mile; ten minutes; starting point), mountain (quarter mile; ten minutes), river (quarter mile; ten minutes), flatland (three-quarter mile; fifteen minutes).
After about forty-five minutes of traveling, you all encounter a caravan. It appears to carry merchants, travelers, and others. Do you choose to interact with them, or move on? You are about five minutes from the border of the Earth Legion, beyond which is the Neutral Roads. Negative Aggressive Encounter.

I slow down my pace so that I am walking alongside Moriah and the caravan but do not speak.

"Could you give me any kind of information about it?" I ask in a polite and pleasent tone. I look over him or around the area to see if there was any kind of high elemental concentration.

Moriah:
"Mostly flatland, but it's got some mountains and forests and swamps," he says. "You know, the usual."
There are no elemental concentrations in terms of Rings. However, you notice a lot of metal in the caravans on the people: swords, hammers, and other weapons and tools.

Marco:
"Oh, yeah, sure," the man says. "How about a vial of blood?"
Before you can react, you feel a cold, metal instrument puncture your abdominal flesh: a dagger. He got the hit pretty good...you cough as the dagger enters your body. Should you look down, you will see that you are bleeding profusely. You realize that these men aren't what they seem. The dagger is still in you. 51 damage to Marco.
