Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Well um... I would like to know... How is it that you can fly with no wings, or magic? You and Sarah just leap into the skies and take off like gravity means nothing to you. And how did you get so much power? I saw what Sarah did to that giant, I know commoners don't have that kind of power. you're really one of the elementalists right?" Maryl knew she was pressing with so many questions but she couldn't help it.

Journey stumbled along after Mia once they had popped out of the ground. She stopped when her hand dropped from hers and she took off in a sprint towards Dusk. "Water's attacking again!? Why!?" She demanded an answer from no one in particular. "We've done nothing to them!" she was now just ranting to herself not caring if anyone else heard or not. Her eyes flashed from their brilliant blue, to a bright fire crimson. She ran over to join the group after this change occurred. "What do you suppose we do about it?" She said after reaching them.

((i switched journey over to this account. got tired of having to log off just to post something.))

Kel's attention completely left Maryl from the interruption. He scratched his head and stood up. "fantastic... They travel fast, it hasn't even been a full day yet. Ask me again later, Maryl."

He looked across the beat up and dusty old town. "Well if Maryl's field thing works then sit tight. They're not getting in even if they do come here. This old town wasn't exactly on the map, The other towns in the central region are mostly neutral people so they may overlook us entirely. Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything that can be done for Terra Tanta. I'd imagine they won't be setting up any camps there after the washout anyway."

Seth sat atop the porch shade of the hospital listening quietly. She peeked over the edge and spouted at Kel. "Still think there's time for diplomacy?"

Distracted, Seth looked down at Maryl. "What?" She slid and dropped off the roof doing a quick flip before landing in a crouch. She stood up and turned to Maryl.

Kel shrugged and shook his head. "I suppose it isn't too late to try. At the very least lets not cause a panic or else this place will stand out." He thought to himself for a moment.

Kel snickered, "Well, that rules out us foreigners. Hell, usually nobody listens to a cripple and two children anyway." Kel took a second to sit back down on the porch. He leaned back against the wall and looked out at the sky. "Hey, Ogmitt Jord has a military base, maybe the invaders will lose."

An idea hit her. "Kel, if we all lied with a hint of truth no one would ever know. We could say you are the Princess's regent, the ruling power in her stead while she is away. All of us could act along with it, follow you as our general if it comes to war, agree with you in things of policy. You're a male, and probably the ol-I mean wisest of us here. It might be the only leverage we have." Her eyes were a pleading shade of crimson.

Kel slapped his forehead. "Yeah, that's not gonna fly. If Kiro really is the guy leading their attack then he's not going to buy it. We've met before. He knows I'm a neutral business owner." Kel reflected on that statement for a moment. It had been almost a week ago and alot had happened that day.

Kel shrugged and looked over in Maryl's direction. "Maryl, where's the Princess?"

"Yeah, I didn't think so...", Kel sighed. He shook his head. "Probably gonna have to stick to the 'lay low' plan for now. Unless someone's packing an entire battalion in their pocket. I have to go check my orders tomorrow..."

Seth shrugged, "I know what you mean but it's looking like we're caught in the headlights too. I guess it depends on the direction the invasion goes whether or not we'll actually have to do something.", She whispered back. "I don't suppose you have an arcane distraction of some sort."
