Journey of the Elementals RP (Pm if Interested, Started)

[UnusualStranger]

After walking a small distance away from the estate, Seth let his flames fly farther around him, making them spin and rise farther than he needed them to. He was in a good mood. A very good mood, and just felt like letting his flames go about in the storm, watching the steam rise as the water struck his flames.

Today....was a good day. Announcement, company, and all. A very very good day. And.....is that Drew?

Seth approached the wayward Airsifter, letting his flames continue to spin around him. He was curious what he was doing out and about, especially in the storm on the day off.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The airship flew over the clouds, as the captain watched the city below. He wasn't even sure if he should call it a city really. It was filled to the brim with mages. People who controlled magics beyond his understanding, and ability. But the airship and technology gave him the advantage he needed to level that playing field, and he was there to make sure things were secure before the Prime Minister arrived. This was an important meeting, that he was told personally.

"I knew that the mages would be the first we would ever dare deal with. Did you not think so Aaron?" The Prime Minister spoke, looking over some additional papers the mysterious Nightshade had delivered as part of the deal.

"I wouldn't know, Prime Minister. Frankly I am surprised that you even allowed that fellow to live. He would not be immune to a crossbow bolt." Aaron said, shifting the weapon at his side.

"This is important Aaron. This deal could be groundbreaking in every sense of the word. New avenues, new trade and supplies. New people which to help our nation. This is more important than anything we have ever done in all our years. We need to make sure this is flawless. Them, and us. Understand?" The Prime Minister said, his grey eyes seeming to pierce the captain.



"SIR, we have arrived." A soldier had come and reported to Aaron, snapping him out of his thoughts. Looking downward through the clouds, he did not like having to land in this weather. While it made their approach much harder to notice, it also meant that they would be drenched, and he did not exactly look forward to lightning striking them.

"Take us down, outside of the city. By the roads appeared to be the best area at the moment. It appears we will need to inform them to clear a bigger space." Aaron said irritably. The soldier nodded, then went to the pilot to inform them of going to land.

These goddamned mages better show some respect. I'm not here to straighten them out....

The airship circled over the Academy once as they approached to land, going backwards to land at the roads which was far more open than the Academy areas themselves.

"Wow make yourself invisible? That's crazy."
He knew some could dod that but he never met them, perhaps that was why.
"The closest I could get to that is burrowing underground but I have never pulled it off"
"Got to know the ground under your feet, geological jargon."
They had covered some distance with all the talking to distract them, in the distance he could see the light temple in the distance.
The light in combination with the rain was casting brilliant rainbows among the storm.
"Wow haven't passed by there in a while."

 

[Mr. Omega]

He mumbled to himself. "Huh? Whoozat?" He noticed Seth. "Seth? That you? Whatcha doin out here at this time?" His speech wasn't that slurred, despite his somewhat tipsy movement. He didn't really bother keeping his composure, walking a lot slower than he usually did.

 

[blaze96]

"Well it takes a lot of energy to bend light around me so I can't be seen by all creatures. It is really meant to be a quick thing that I use after blinding them with light. Not like I could hide forever, if anything, it is more of a LightDweller's take on hiding in shadows." Alexander said as he stopped to look at the temple.

"Yea, when you live there you stop noticing it all so much. Actually rather beautiful when you stop to look at it."

 

[Chaos Incarnate]

Ezekial glared at the girl "I'm fucking fine" Ezekial shouted flexing all his fingers besides his broken one. Ezekial quickly spun around looking for Sir Taco who was no where to be seen "Great, Hey little girl you seen my chicken?" Ezekial mumbled "About this high and long" He said moving his hands to show Sir Taco's relative size

 

[UnusualStranger]

"I think I am supposed to be asking you that question Drew. Yeah, its me, and I was out visiting. So, what are you doing as it gets a little late out? Lose Fei or something?" Seth said, walking up to Drew to get a look at him.

Well....pretty sure I know how he spent his day. Not that I need to worry, his sister is likely to chew him out just fine....if the Masters don't find him causing trouble, at least. Then he'll be likely tossed in a box till he sobers up, then sent to do a bunch of menial work at the town.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

As the airship landed, Aaron kicked the rope ladder down and climbed down. He was quickly followed by seven of the troops he brought with him, the other thirteen staying on board to make sure no one attempted anything stupid. Especially the villagers of the town nearby. He found himself somewhat hoping that they wouldn't have to fill anyone with arrows. But only somewhat.

"Captain, are you going to make yourself known to the Academy now?" One of the troops said stepping with him.

"I would think it almost as good a time as any. Storms should keep most of the younger ones inside, meaning we won't have to push through a crowd of idiots thinking to see the 'mystical men of another city.'" Aaron replied, and got to walking. As the rain proceeded to fall upon him, he always became self conscious of his right arm. Though it was mechanical, and for all purposes better than his original in many senses, it didn't change how it felt out of place and mechanical to him.

Perhaps we should have seen to landing much closer. I would rather not have walked through all this rain.

 

[SkyeNeko]

"A... a chicken? You have a chicken?" she shook her head. "I don't think I've seen one... do you want me to help look for him?" Fei thought that 'Sir Taco' was a very strange name for a chicken. Was this mage going to eat it perhaps?

 

[Mr. Omega]

"Oh, Fei's fine... speaking of, I saw you and her talking before that whole BS announcement. That was nice. She don't talk to too many others. Soooo, what's your opinion on this whole thing that's going on? And whadaya think of how people are reacting?"

 

[My name is Fiction]

"It must be nice, would be a great place to read."
but with all that light you couldn't hide any messes
Walking closer he thought it would be an inconvinence to track mud in the temple and get his business done for tonight.
"Well I am going to fly by Earthmountain for a sec before I go home."
"See you tomarrow Alex?"

 

[blaze96]

"I don't see why not. The masters will probably want us to see or get ready for their arrival as a group anyway. Even if they don't, I could use a break from study." Alexander replied before waving goodbye and heading back into the temple.

When he got back inside he decided he wasn't really about to head back to class with all that happened that day. Instead he got comfortable back inside his own room, pulling out a book he read fro enjoyment instead of improving his skills and settled in.

 

[UnusualStranger]

"My opinion is....I wonder how we will be going away, and how much it cost them? I mean, are we worth an airship or two? That might just be worth the information having something that big flying around. People reacting? Hah! I wasn't too surprised. I mean, everyone seemed pretty shocked, but I really do wonder who they will choose. I mean, why everyone? Why not just the best and the brightest?" Seth said, humoring his somewhat drunk friend.

Well, here is to hoping that he doesn't decide to get violent or anything. Or someone walks up and is an ass to both of us. I would rather not find him having to dig ditches for the town by hand.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Aaron seemed to not care when the guards watched him warily, but they noted the airship flying so close to their entrance, and seemed to let him and his guards in without much of a problem. Which was a start. At least these mages seemed to communicate with one another. Otherwise, he would have to muscle his way in, and then that probably....was a bad idea. He didn't know how he would go about things, but he needed to get in contact with that....Darnell character. Let them know that they would be arriving tomorrow.

And bringing those goddamned flying bastards along. That will be a true test...or is that the prime ministers plan all along? To test the mages and see what they do when those things follow the airships in? Should I warn them?

"Spread out. I want these masters found so I can damn well talk to them. I don't know where they are, but I'm sure they look just like goddamned kings or something. Just...find them." Aaron said, stepping into the main halls. It was relatively empty, which he found somewhat curious. He wondered when they learned of their arrival, and how. The shadow fellow didn't seem the most straightforward with information, which meant there was always something amiss with him.

Checking his sword, and with only three troops left with him, the other four out and about looking for someone to direct them to the masters, Aaron impatiently waited in the halls, watching as the sun seemed to finally set...well, he assumed that was how things worked around here yet. Unless they did their own artificial thing.

Goddammit, I really, really, REALLY don't like this. Prime Minister, you better know what the hell you are doing.

So, four armed soldiers in strange armor began walking about, passing by some of the students still about this evening, wondering what exactly they were doing here.

 

[SkyeNeko]

Fei started to look for the chicken, stepping back out of the fortress and into the rain. "Heeere chicken chicken chickeeen..." she called, looking in the caves that dotted the mountain. "Sir Tacoo..." She checked a few places that she thought a chicken would hide, but found nothing. The rain wasn't as strong now, but it was still windy. Attempting to go further into the field, she used her powers to keep the rain off of her and made it into a shield to prevent her from getting pushed around by the gale. Then she saw something that stuck her as weird.

Through the storm she saw strange mages, wearing metal from head to toe. At the distance she couldn't be sure, but it looked like they were carrying something. What are they doing out so late? Aha! Maybe they know where the chicken is! "Excuse me! Have you seen-" She was cut short when she got closer, and saw that they were not, in fact, mages. They were soldiers. Panic coursed through her mind and she wanted to run, but knew that any sudden movements would probably result in getting shot anyways. "H... hi..."

 

[Chaos Incarnate]

"Eh what?" Ezekial stammered snapping out of his inchoerent daydream, he quickly notcied the girl had already run off in search of Sir Taco. He notcied her a small distance away as well as well as several unknown others. Quickly Ezekial rushed over in hopes that she had found Sir Taco, yet as he approached he found that they were not mages but soldiers. Ezekial glared at them as he did at anyone and lightly placed his hand on Fei's shoulder "let's go" Ezekial whispered.

 

[UnusualStranger]

The soldier paused as Fei ran up to him. His gaze swept over the girl, seeing if she was a threat in an instant, and not seeing anything particularly dangerous, decided he would ask her, only for a boy to wander up as well, giving him a glare. The soldier was untouched however, with his steely gaze looking right back at him.

"The Masters. Do you know were they are?" The soldier said simply, his voice having a metallic sound to it through the helm he wore. His metal armor, while wet, did nothing to hinder his movements, nor did his hands leave his side as he stood asking the two students the question.

 

[SkyeNeko]

"No..." she shook her head nervously. Her eyes couldn't help but marvel at the faceless soldier. He's not even cold or bothered by the storm... he looks like the golems that the earthshifters make. She barely noticed Ezekial behind her, and jolted when she felt his hand on her shoulder. Suddenly she noticed everything else, her now soaking clothes (because she had dropped her guard when she saw the man, and the rain wet her), and the cold wind. Shaking her head she pulled all the water out of her clothes and hair in an attempt to warm up a little, gathering it into a neat ball in front of her.

 

[UnusualStranger]

"Then who knows? I need to speak with them immediately, there are messages that need to be delivered. Someone must know where they are." The guard said, not even ruffled when Fei proceeded to manipulate the water around her. His gaze was also no longer interested in Fei, looking about the room to see if he could spot someone of some importance wandering about, or perhaps of royalty.


_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Timothy was somewhat irritable when he was awoken from his early slumber in preparation for tomorrow. Apparently, the guests that they had been expecting were already here, and asking around for masters. Of course, they ended up wandering into the medical area first, which meant that he would be the first contacting by a student knocking on his door.

Guards in the infirmary, probably frightening some of the students. Why couldn't they wander into the pyromancer areas instead?

Having quickly donned his robes once more, he made his way to the infirmary through the storms.

 

[Chaos Incarnate]

"Main chambers, look for any one that looks old" Ezekial muttered sliding his hands through his soaking wet hair. "Now go and leave us be" Ezekial ordered fully expecting a retaliation, he quietly clenched his fist drawing in a small bit of water from the rain. "Oh and give me a call if you see my chicken" Ezekial smirked slowly.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Drew chuckled to himself before turning to Seth. "If they wanted the best and the brightest, we'd be the first picked. No, they want the ones who will make them look the best. Fact is we don't really have much to worry about. Odds are a bunch of the higher-ranked members will be chosen. Now then, I better start heading home. I got me a good few days to relax, and I plan to make the most of them..."

 

[UnusualStranger]

"Then where are the Main Chambers. You will either guide me, or I will find someone to be more helpful than yourself. Your chicken is none of my concern, unless it is a master itself." Despite the apparent joke, the tone of the soldier still did not change in tone nor stance as he said it all. His eyes continued to glare about the room, seeing if he had spotted anyone important, but the search so far had been fruitless.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

"That....is probably the second best idea I've heard all day. I think I will do much of the same. Get to the rooms, get some sleep, and be ready for tomorrow and whatever else is going to happen. Here is to hoping we have nothing to worry about eh? Take care. Here is to hoping this goes well." Seth replied, and proceeded back to the dorms to get some good sleep.

What....a mixed day. Good company, good people, interesting news, alright weather....And....soldiers.

Seth saw them standing about the halls, keeping a watch out for...someone. Hopefully not here to kidnap, or otherwise there would be quite a bit of trouble coming along for the ride. However, they didn't seem to move nor care, so he kept his distance, and proceeded to the dorms.

 

[Mr.Ivebeenframed]

Cale had been lounging in the one of the Earth Mountain common areas due to Master Hoch's advice when he had heard of these "armored soldiers" looking for the Main Chambers. Cale's ears perked as soon as he heard the words "Armored", "Odd-looking", or "foreign" and when he connected the lines Cale sprang to his feet and began running for the Main Halls. After he arrived he saw the men. With their bodies wrapped in armor and wicked looking weapons it was no question that these figures were the the ones from Kerbones. Cale stood there with his jaw on the ground but he readjusted himself and drew the courage to walk towards them. He already saw what looked like two hydromasters converse with them. Cale approached the armored soldiers and spoke out to them.

"Are you the men from Kerbones?" Cale said with an inquisitive look on his face. His scarf was wrapped on the lower part of his face to show the intricate weaving of his scarf. Cale was about to bow but he refrained himself seeing as he knew nothing about their culture or way of greeting people so he would not insult them.
