Years ago this was a town
on the verge of being a city.
Just on the border
to the farmlands.
The young Prince Arren and Sparrowhawk
had come here after traveling so long.
Rested here and resided here to rest.
Slave drivers fought to catch the prince.
The meeting of the destined first happened here.
Arren and Therru had no idea
that their paths would cross again.
No idea at all.
Years have passed since then.
Now it is a flourishing city.
Earthsea no longer ridden with disease
there is no reason.
Renovations had made the city
have made it beautiful.
And so it sha'll stay.
Forever on.

Rinascita woke up with a soft yawn, blinking a few times as her eyes began to adjust to the bright sunlight seeping through the window before sitting up and stretching out her arms above her head, her emerald eyes looking dull for only a few moments before they lit up with life. She got to her feet almost stepping on Aniko but missed him by only a few inches which caused the Pluma to get up with a chirp-like noise that was somewhat mixed with a bark. "Oh! I'm sorry Aniko!" She shouted picking up the young Pluma and letting it climb onto her shoulders as she left the room, rushing a hand through her blonde hair as she looked around. "Mother are yo-" She froze midsentence remembering that her mother was dead, died a few days ago thanks to the diease she had. Rinascita missed her, but that was simply a daughter missing her mother and best friend, she made her way into the room that was her mother's. Golden words on the dresser reading out her mother's name, Infirma, near it being where she left her jewelary that she would get from men who wanted her attention since she was apart of the counsel which wasn't very rare. She was just a women who cared for others more then herself, one of the people who wish to just be gone with all cruel evil in the world, but that would never happen since good needs evil to keep balance. The blonde sighed as her pet Pluma climbed down from her shoulders to the ground and headed out of the room to leave Rinascita alone with her mother's things. The guardians will come soon to take you away to somewhere safe. Her mother's words rang in her head as she laid on her death bed, she believed that it was only because she was a counsel member's daughter and she was underage still. Rina's eyes rested soon on a piece of paper on her mother's jewelary box, she picked it up looking at the ripped photo attached to it. A picture of a man, silver hair from what she could tell from the ripped photo, then she went to reading the letter from what it seemed to be a women by the writing, explaining that she knew a man just as her mother had. My father could be out there... and this women knows him so maybe she knows where he is! The thought left her mind as she remembered she was suppose to be waiting for the guardians as her mother requested of her but that was something she couldn't do now. She wanted to know who her father was and why he left her mother and herself alone all these years. She quickly turned on her heels running back to her room with the letter in her hand as she got dressed in her normal clothing. "Aniko, Were going somewhere!" The pluma lifted its head before letting out a chirping noise again and climbed into her bag as Rina lowered it for the animal to climb inside then slipped it over her arm onto her shoulder and left the house. Rushing down the road after locking the door, She didn't have much experience of being on her own or traveling. "Can't be that hard!" "Chrrr!" The Pluma rang out in agreement.
((And so the Journey begins!))

Lousea shouldered her bag restlessly, her eyes shifting every which way. Today wasn't like most days, no, today was the beginning of her adventure. Even though she was only a novice mage, a witch with no definite know-how, her parents still allowed her to travel abroad. The girl would search for a master to be apprenticed under as she traveled for she could learn more about magic and life. The seventeen-year-old teen only knew the basics of magic, and a few spells that won't blow her up. Thoughts of her faults made her nervous, and she unconsciously petted the quiver her father made for her. Her father, a government guard, was skilled in archery and swordplay; and he had taught all his children how to defend themselves with a quiver and a sword. Lou didn't swords much, but since her father worried about her well-being, she took a handy dagger she bought at the market. It was light and easy to conceal, unlike her quiver, but she could deal with it.
Smiling to herself, the girl walked through the streets of Hort City, her eyes wandering over familiar and unfamiliar faces. A few peddlers approached her selling their wares, but she paid them no mind. She was only concerned with avoiding the pick-pockets and other dangerous fellows of the relatively peaceful city. As her feet propelled her, the girl wished she had a traveling companion. It would be dreadfully boring and terrifying for her to walk by herself through the kingdoms of Earthsea. Sighing to herself, the girl didn't realize where she was walking until she bumped into a girl around her age. "Oh my, I'm so sorry! I'm such an air-head." She stammered quickly, her forest-green eyes wide and guilty for being so thoughtless and oblivious.
[So it seems, let's see where it takes us.]

Rinascita came to a stop as she bumped into, looking over the girl who had nearly ran her over before covering Aniko's mouth so he would stop making a chirping noise at the girl. Then shushed him, knowing Pluma's weren't normally pets since they looked terrifying and were deadly when older. "It's fine." She smiled giving that very cheerful but naive smile she would normally before fixing her bag so Aniko was more confortable inside as he looked around making sure that his owner wasn't going to get pickpocketed or attacked any moment. "It's nice to meet you anyways, I'm Rinascita but you can call me Rina."

"Lousea, but everyone calls me Lou. It's nice to meet you Rina...and your little friend. he's so cute." The girl smiled brightly, her green eyes betraying nothing, but sincerity. Her forest green eyes then peered at the creature hidden away in its master's bag. The little chirp she heard before Rina stuffed the little thing into the bag told her it was probably a bird, but it would be strange for a bird to be hidden in a bag instead of perched on its master's shoulder.
[May I know what a Pluma is exactly? All I get when I search it is a feather.]

((Pluma is my own creation that is a feathered bird that walks on four legs but appears to make a Chrri noise making sound like a bird though its part cat as well. I made it up since the movie never says the animal's names. "Pluma")) Rina caught Lou's gaze on her bag and moved it slightly out of her sight as she shushed the Pluma again knowing it would be bad if the creature was seen in public. "His name is Aniko, He scares people so I have to keep him hidden." She heard the Chrri noise again and patted its head to keep him quiet then he let out a soft purr and she pulled her hand out of her bag.

[Ah, that makes sense, and nice name for his species. mrgreen ]
Lousea's green gaze shifted to Rina, a frown on the teenager's face, but not for long as it quickly turned into a smile once more. The girl was curious what Aniki looked like, but she wouldn't force Rina to show her him. It was both rude and mean of her to demand that of the girl. "So Rina, where are you heading? It looks like you're leaving for a few days." The brunette just noticed the girl's bad was full of more than just her "scary" pet, and it was a traveling bag like the one she carried. Now she was really curious about the girl, but, again, it would be rude and mean of her to ask where she was going, and who she was meeting.

She looked back to her bag again seeing that she did look a little over packed but that was for good reason. "Oh? I'm heading out to find a women who may know my father!" She answered cheerfully as she remembered that her father could be nearly and she'd have a new guardian soon so she wouldn't have to live in an orphanage or so on for another year.
((Thank you~))

Lousea's eyes lite up like candles, and they burned brightly with the smell of adventure. "May I accompany you? I'm heading out myself, seeing the world and such, and I'm trying to find a mentor. We can help each other out." She asked with a big smile, forcing herself from jumping up and down like an excited kitten. It would be a great adventure for them both, and Lou really did want some company, and maybe Rina wouldn't mind her tagging along as well. The mage apprentice could be a very valuable asset. She knew some useful spells that would be handy in particular situations.

She tilted her head as she thought of the offer, it wouldn't hurt to have someone around and Aniko seemed to be alright with her being around. "Hmmm, What do you think Aniko?" She asked looking back to the bag as she heard her pet let out a chirping noise again meaning he was alright with it. "Alright then, You can come along."She answered with a cheesy smile before walking past her towards the exit of the city.

Lousea grinned happily, catching up to Rina and matching her stride with hers. Her gaze ran over the many people that passed by her. Many seemed like foreigners while others were typical citizens of the city. "Do you have any clues as to where this woman is, Rina? Or will we wander around aimlessly? Either sounds fantastic because adventure and fun are on either path." She chirped cheerfully, her step bouncing and enthusiastic, and her forest green eyes bright and full of life.
[Where to now?]

She smiled as she made her way out of town then put her bag on the ground so Aniko could climb out, which he did. Showing how featherly and small the creature was since it was just a baby at the moment, about a year old. "Well..." Rina pulled out the letter that she had been keeping in her pocket, looking it over at the women's proper writting that made her feel somewhat like an idiot. "It says in the letter that she lives on a farm, and its big. So I going to look for a big farm on the farmlands."
((Farmlands))

Lousea thought for a moment, kneeling so she could observe Aniki better. He was a cute little thing, and she never expected him to be a Pluma. She held out her hand for him to sniff as she began considering the girl's words. If they were to travel to the farmlands, they had better be careful. Slave-traders frequented the vast lands where cattle and crops were grown. Neighbors were too far away to hear the screams of their kidnapped victims, but it didn't really deter the brunette. "Then to the farmlands we go." She said with a cheery smile, her green gaze on Rina.

Rina looked over seeing Aniko sniff Lou's hand then nibble on it, since he was just a child he loved to nibble on things. She turned her gaze forward towards the farmlands, thinking it wouldn't be too bad if they went staight there from the city, slave traders as her mother would tell her went off the roads to avoid being seen so the roads would be safest. "Off we go!" Leaving no time she began running in that direction as Aniko made the chrri noise again and rushed after her, keeping up pretty easily because she was doing more of a fast walking then running.
[exit to the farmlands!]

Lousea giggled when Aniki nibbled her hand.The little Pluma was adorable, and she was already falling for the cute thing. She was going to ask Rina if she could hold him, but stopped short as she stood up and chased after the girl, kicking up dirt behind her as she ran. She was smiling and giggling along the way.
[Exit to Farmlands.]
Kauru'un Soone arrived at the door of a girl suspected to be on of the "dragon children" the government was so keen on protecting. Recent information told him her mother had only just passed away, and she had no other relatives to reside with until she became a legal adult in a year's time. The black-haired man frown, annoyed that he had to be the one looking for the girl instead of his subordinates, but their forces were spread thin as it is. They were chasing after other leads of supposed "dragon children." The man rolled his brown eyes, not believing half of the leads they were given, and he was always proven right as well.
Sighing silently to himself, the commander of the Guardians of the Lost knocked on the door and waited patiently for the orphaned girl to answer him. He waited, and waited some more, but no one came. Finally, a neighbor of the girl, an elderly woman, told him she saw the girl—Rinascita—had left already with her bag packed and a skip in her step. Growling at himself, the man turned on his heels and used his nose to follow the girl's scent.
[Exit to Farmlands, but he'll be after them later.]
