The Relics (No Plot/Fantasy/Character Driven/Worthy of Skepticism)

Marcus nodded. He could see the contours of mountains off in the distance where the scholar had pointed. Mountains... He suddenly realized that if they were to go in that direction, he would get even further away from his small cabin in the Southern mountains. With a frown on his face, he thought as he walked. Since the screaming and the sounds of fighting had come from the southern part of the city, it was most logical to assume that the army, or whatever it was that had turned the city into chaos, had come from the south. Meaning, that as they were walking here in the north, his forest and cabin would most likely be swarming with soldiers. They would be at least have placed some outposts or spies along the route they'd have taken, wouldn't they? In any case, he couldn't return, not for now. Moreover, what would he lose by not returning? Some of his poacher traps, more arrows, his winter clothing, some gold coins and well.. his privacy. He could live without those.

They had reached the edge of the forest in silence, all three lost in their own thoughts or simply preferring not to speak. When they entered the forest, Marcus took his bow from his back as well as an arrow. "Maybe it'd be an idea if I go first? In this light I can still make out animal tracks and we don't want to cross paths with a boar or bear, right? If I have an eye out for that, would you please look for a proper place to make camp, scholar? It seems like you have experience with this. And of course, if you think you see something proper, please be kind enough to mention it Vagabond." They walked along in silence, sometimes stopping when Marcus noticed some strange prints on the somewhat muddy forest floor. Darkness was setting in rapidly though and the further they went into the woods, the harder it became to see any signs of animals. Their ears would have to do the work now.

Alright, so what is everyone else interested in seeing happen in the immediate (or distant) future of this RP?

After the invastion, it'd be interesting to see if Da-Hyun and/or Oragos mingle themselves in the conflict. After all, Da-Hyun has one of their leaders to avenge and two others to save and Oragos will want to make use of the oportunity now that Othea is weak or in case the invasion succeeds, they'd want to attack the Empire a.s.a.p. while they haven't made themselves comfortable in their new province.

Or at least that's what I'd do ^_^'

I'm also working on my sheet, I just want her to become the most realistic person I've written about thus far so it's taking a while, excuses for the delay ^_^'

I have no idea what's going on right now, I think Stilts and Marcus have to do something

Okay then! I'll just let Marcus help a bit with the camp and such.

Also, Ellri and/or Sep: I'm just curious; Would the imperial troops or Vocators spare two Da-Hyunin representatives (one is dealing with a hangover and the other just saw his companion die so they both won't really feel like fighting although they might make a half-hearted attempt) or would they kill them? Judging from their actions so far, I suppose they'll do the first but it'd be nice to know for sure :) (Especially since I might let Shin stalk them)

I must say that your explanation sounds quite valid xD

Wait is bing talking to Starry Artemis and Marcuswhere was he before i dont remember him being near them

I know right, I also thought that Marcus and co were in a different boat.... o.o'

The Relics (No Plot/Fantasy/Character Driven/Worthy of Skepticism)

Marcus had listened to the Vagabonds' explanation with interest. He had never heard of an 'Evokers String', but then again, he barely knew how his own relic worked. "The First Relic" That sounded as if it came straight from a legend and apparently the Scholar thought the same. "Wishful thinking by hopeless romantics, The First Relic is nothing but a fairytale. If it really existed, it surely would have been mentioned in one of the texts I've translated." It was a shame, but Marcus had to agree with the man. It was most likely just a stroke of luck or the work of the gods that had driven three evokers together, not some old connection.

The sound of wood on sand interrupted the conversation. As the scholar requested, Marcus quickly jumped out into the water, immediately soaking his feet which were only clad in supple leather. It'd take a while for them to dry, but hiding the boat was a more urgent concern. When the Vagabond had stepped out of the boat as well, Marcus helped the Scholar to drag the boat onto the shore and into the shrubbery that lined the beach. Before they covered it, Marcus grabbed his back, bow and quiver and swung them on his back. A few branches, sticks and sand were enough to keep the boat out of sight for anyone who wasn't specifically looking for it. He had continued to listen to the Vagabonds' explanation of his legend, and Marcus had to admit that the more he heard of it the more plausible it seemed. Wasn't the world after all filled with mysterious things? He decided to not mingle in the conversation and just be a listening ear. He didn't know anything about the subject and just left the two learned men to their discussion. As they started walking, Marcus was reminded that he had paid the guard for a bed in which he hadn't been able to sleep in the end. Such a shame... After a while he remembered something the Scholar had said and interrupted part of their conversation. "East? Where exactly are we going Scholar?"

Eehm I think I'll edit my post to come after Drama Queen's speech. It'd make more sense that way.

I'm currently writing my reply to you, Guilty Spark, in Google Drive, so don't think I've forgotten about you. ;) It's going to be a somewhat long post when I'm done, but I hope it will be enough, once I have finished. I am posting right now to answer the following question:Excuse me, but I will be honest and say that my eye twitched when I read your questions.My dear, perhaps you missed this vital little page: http://wordsyndrome.weebly.com/oblak-city.htmlOver there, to the right, under the little picture.What kind of culture to expect? I do believe I stated that this will be a mix of many peoples even in my first post.

Wow, sorry I'm such an idiot. I only clicked on Östlich Solnechnii Oka and Gregor Mendel Public school and I was really surprised to find nothing concerning the city itself, especially since the other descriptions were so very detailed. Excuses! I'll read it and thank you.

I was just curious and wanted to be sure that we were on the same page concerning the city's culture. Thank you and excuses again for my silly question :'D
