Welcome to Gaia! ::

Adrelus decides that he doesn't want to be the last one through, and he quickly steps up, and enters the wall.

David waited a minute to follow after the small group, his battle claws ready for action. He walked towards the section of wall they had gone through, and hit the solid stone. The force of the impact jarred him, causing him to back up a few feet. He placed his hands on the wall, the battle claw's metal fingers covering David's own scratching slightly as he felt along the stone to find out where the group had gone Whoever they were, they had planned for the eventuality of someone following them.

He looked up the street as a man came running down it. The man paused by him, placing his own hand on the wall, waiting there to catch his breath. He looked up at David. "Tell everyone you see. Wake those that you know are asleep. We are evacuating the city, to save the lives of the innocent before Zeig arrives tomorrow. The back way out of the city, towards the mountians is all most know. Tell them, tell everyone."

Brin stood behind everyone now, her gaze shifted around the room uncomfortably as there were people all around that appeared to be getting ready for a fight, who all starred in their general direction. It wasn’t what she would have expected, but then again, she didn’t know what to expect in the first place…

But then some other man came out of one of the halls, and looked straight at the guy they were following, learning that his name (as they knew his) was Mark. She studied the man, noticing his face appeared older than the men surrounding them due to wrinkles that were taking its place around his eyes, but there wasn’t anything about him that seemed threatening—even beside the fact that she was surrounded by people she hardly even knew.

Faeren’s gaze ran over their faces. None of them would have made it this far if they were considered a threat. So, without further delay, he repeated the same news to Mark. “Zeig’s finally come for what he thinks is rightfully his.” He paused a moment as everyone in the room grew silent, then needlessly continued. “Zeig already knew he wouldn’t be leaving here without a fight, and only brought his pet dragon in hopes that it would scare us enough to give him what he so desire... He says he’s giving Gargoth till dawn for his answer, but I don’t think his word is to be trusted… In the mean time, the King’s decided that the whole city is going to hide under the Kraishier Mountains while we stay to defend our city…”

David nodded at the man's words, but stayed where he was. He continued scratching along the wall after the man left, trying to find how those he had followed managed to get through the wall in the first place. Poking almost every inch of stone with the tips of the metal claws he wore, he still found nothing that would lead him any closer to finding out the stange actions the ones he was following were doing. Frustration overcame him, and he struck at the wall. His hand scraped across the wall, the metal of the battle claws sparking with the rocks, and an eiry sound filling up the nearby street. He spun around, and walked down the street, removing the battle claws and putting them back into his coat. He looked back for a second at the wall, looking at the four parallel lines that raked across it, barely visable in the dim light.

He continued down the street quickly, no longer bothering about hiding. He sprinted down, and arrived at the inn, the boistrous noises of those inside still audible from without. Walking through the door, he whispered something into the barkeep's ear, then walked out, the man's booming voice telling them all the same message David had heard.

Faeren smiled faintly, expecting nothing less. Nodding his head with agreement, he added, “As I said, I don’t trust Zeig’s word. Something tells me he’ll be attacking sooner than what he says, so take your positions quickly.” And with a quick warm handshake, he said, “Let’s pray that we live to see many more days after tonight.” His gaze flicked over the new faces one last time as he stepped back from Mark, and with a nod to them in farewell as well, he disappeared into the same hall he came through.

Mark turned to the group of that had just entered, grinning. "Alright, you guys excited for this. I'll be taking you to the head of this army, Zeig, if I can get us that far. From there... Well, we'll see."
