Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kel blew over the mess below that was Noytral klar as he continued flying south. All he could see from the sky was blackened land and burned buildings, save for a few which were either ransacked or just scuffed up from the chaotic environment. It was a bizarre sight to behold. "Hmm... Well, If Air was meant to starve, they certainly will now, along with a good portion of the rest of the continent. The guy who orchestrated this would be some kind of b*****d. I thought all the nations were whimpering about gaining land. The guy who ordered this just wants to destroy." He pressed on southward increasing his pace as he did.

Ciel began to descend from the sky as she spotted what looked like the remains of a town below. From up in the sky she could see nothing but a long black strip of land stretching out to the horizon. Apparently what she heard was not from the rumor mill after all. Part of the earth nation had been devastated with destruction. Finally touching down to the ground, Ciel could feel the scorching pain of the earth through the soles of her feet. The land itself had cringed at the torturous burning that had taken place.

Unable to find much in the ash dusted, abandoned town, Ciel quietly walked off the main road taking a turn toward the southwest. She wasn't sure where she would wind up, but hopefully if she came to another town like Omgitt Jord or Terra Tanta, there would be at least some activity. The silent black was just unsettling.

Mayura hurried on through the street much to her dismay. It was more or less the same scene back at Kraftig Felter. Burned buildings, ashes everywhere and not a person to be found. At least it looked like the townspeople attempted to fight the fire and managed to reduce the damage. She could barely keep pace with the speedy hill giant and came to a stop at the base of the hill to what looked to be his home. There was probably no mistaking a house that massive, unless other giants lived in Noytral Klar. As she stood on the hill, Mayura cast her gaze upon the open vineyard nearby. It seemed to difficult to believe that giant was a farmer of sorts.

Mayura approached Kujaku casually, hopefully not imposing or convincing him to rescind his civility he'd been showing up to that point. "So, um... Kujaku?" She paused realizing she hadn't asked Kujakus or the giant's names but had heard the hill giant refer to the ogre as such back in Kraftig Felter. "I'm Mayura," She took a short bow to introduce herself before continuing, "Why didn't you go to the royal ball yesterday?" It probably seemed like prying but she did want to know why they didn't go, at least to not feel completely negligent herself for having not gone.

Mayura shook her head saying, "No, not like a sporting event." She paused for a moment. He was an ogre. It shouldn't be surprising in the least that the concept of a social event like a royal ball would be foreign to him. In the times she had been to major royal events in general the goblinoids had a habit of not showing up. A good portion of high society was human which orcs, ogres and the like were averse to. "It's like a social gathering. You know, food, music, dancing. People don their finest and gather to socialize."

Emerging from his house and shutting the front door behind him, Hrothgar took a short jog down hill with Obsidion trailing close behind him. He came to a quick stop to approach Kujaku and Mayura who had strangely waited around. "I'm surprised you two are still here. What's going on?"
