PWNZED BY BREATH ATTACK!

For most of the Sky Elves that make their home here in Ardenvaal, The core is where the liferoot of their people is believed to be. At the center of every Ardenthor is a spirit of a fallen Sky Elf, who's quest is to reach for the sky, and touch with the Sun. With each spirit, A new Ardenthor is birthed, and a new life for A Sky Elf begins as they become one with Nature and start a new cycle of their neverending journey. They say that the Ardenthor where Ardenvaal started upon is the spirit of the first High Elf who brought his people to this serene and inoccuous place, where nothing could touch them. And here, spreading out onto other Ardenthors, Ardenvaal's Core insures the safety of its people. But the Core of Ardenvaal was not looking pristine. Ardenvaal seemed to be shrouded in mists and heavy fogs lately, which was not uncommon, but for the dry season, it was unnatural. The Core did not look as healthy as it used to. To get an idea of what an Ardenthor looks like, imagine cutting down a tree somewhere near its stump. then, hollow out the center of it and fill it with soil. Now, grow some herbs in that soil, and after a while, the tree stump looks looks like its growing a small forest on top. Multiply the size of this stump by a couple of hundred, and duplicate this stump a couple thousand, maybe a million times, and you get the Ardenthor forest. The Core of each Ardenthor is its second life-cycle, as it grows a massive central tree-like limb that feeds the flora and fauna atop of its wooden plateau. Imagine seeing a bud growing out of the center of a tree-stump. Same idea. This "Core" then brings up nutrients from the nutrient-rich earth and feeds itself along with the other smaller trees and shrubbery that grows upon it. Ultimatley, you get minature forests growing atop a much massive forest of tree stumps. Here, at Ardenvaal's Core, the magicks of the native Faerie Dragons and the Sky Elves helped shape the woods into a governor's villa that was supposed to signify its oneness with the city as well as its people. But alas, that oneness has started to fade. It's an earthen plaza of stone and wood, where the citizens gather to hear about the new laws of the land each and every week. It's a center of listening to the new "Trade" and the new peoples that pass through this strange and wonderful town, bringing in foreign goods and plagued materials. The Sky Elves were happy by themselves, But Sek'Thelia Oravinea feels that Ardenvaal should reach out to the other cities with open arms and an open mind. And here, another meeting was called. Sek'Thelia stood at an open window of his villa, and spoke to the hundreds of citizens gathered there that day. "My fellow peoples! This previous night, an attempt at my life was made! Have I not brought you prosperity? Wealth? Good Health? And yet, one of our own kind made an attempt at my life. I don't feel I'm a bad person! I've tried my hardest to make Ardenvaal as beautiful and wonderful as it is today. And it pains me that I must make an example of its people." A Scalamb was rolled towards the front of the mob, and then raised with rope for all of the onlookers to see. "It truly does pain me... This man here was captured outside of the villa, with weapon in hand and a gaze that would've froze a stag in its tracks. For this outrage, this man must be punished." A silent crowd stood onlooking at the man, as a hushed whisper creeped its way among the people. Sek'Thelia calmed the crowd down, then spoke words. "Is there one among you today that believes otherwise?" You can post in Ardenvaal now.

The group made their way in pairs, as it was noticed that any amount of Sky Elves over a party of three looked awfully suspicious in the eyes of Sek'Thelia's Oravinea's regime. And even those Sky Elves, the ones that worked for the estranged Sky Elf, were starting to have their doubts. In a short while, they were off of Western Street, making conversation in a local tavern. "So, my new friends, here we sit. And here we may have to learn to communicate differently. Eyes watch us from every corner," Traveanduri told the group, as her own eyes darted from corner to small corner of the dankly lit tavern. It wasn't packed at all, but there were enough people to keep the small group inconspicuous. A quick glance around the room by any of the companions would pick out at least three of Sek'Thelia's men stationed around the quiet tavern, doing whatever it was they were told to do. {Look down here.} Traveanduri had a small writing utensil of sorts and a torn piece of parchment. She scribbled something on it as she was talking. "So where do you hail from, Master Ryu?" {We need to gather resistance members. They are stationed around Ardenvaal, in other Cores.} |

Imilun nods at the piece of paper, never looking at the guards. His heart is pounding, though. He knows that every minute, from now on, is life or death. He can't slip. |

"I hail from the mountain town of Salvation, home of monks and hunters. We master both body and mind to find our ultimate enlightenment." Ryu gave a nod, as if to say he understood what was written out. |

"Salvation you say? What's Salvation like? I've never been out of Ardenvaal before." {There's three other Ardenthors surrounding the Core. We have several people stationed at each.} Traveanduri passed the paper around, inconspicuously. |

Imilun nods to show he has read the paper, and then chimes in. "I haven't either. Funny name, though." |

Leviticus sighed, nodding as he glanced at the papers, obviously bored. He looked around for someone to attend to him as he listened to his group. "SOMEONE GET ME A BLOODY MUG OF LIQUOR!" Smirking, he rejoined the conversation. "Right...right...Salvation is really Arden-woops I mean, interesting...huh? Must be full of awesome hicks." |

Ryu raised an eyebrow at the comment made by Leviticus. Though his face portrayed a man of delight and confusion, behind it he was making notes of all around him. He continued their false conversation. "It is named such because it is where we all find our nirvana. Our final 'salvation,' if you will. With meditation and deep thought we master mind, and with a perfect mindsetting comes a superior body, which we also use to master many different martial arts and fighting styles. Very much unusual in such a land." Ryu glances around the bar, then following up on the shouting given by Leviticus, made his own order. "I would enjoy a small green tea, please." |

Traveanduri hid the paper as a young Sky Elf boy came around and brought a few drinks. The boy looked to Leviticus, and whispered something. "Sir, as much as I delight in your presence and hopefully your tips later on, I would suggest to not make too much of a commotion here in the bar. The Guards seem to be very sensitive to any disturbances as of lately." |

Leviticus snorted, downed the drink in one rush and then eyed the boy warily like a cornered wolf. "Hooo really...how about you get me another drink then before I disturb your skull out of your head!" |

"...Jerk," the young barhand whispered under his breath, and walked back to retrieve another round. Traveanduri started to scribble on the paper again. "You are a very animated character, Leviticus, if not very nude." {We need to meet with the following people: Traulinosth in Kestha Ustra, Huareleon in Kestha Vera, Umikiyuria in Kestha Mar.} Traveanduri again moved the paper around. |

Leviticus nodded, having read it. "Yeah, sure...I mean, I've got the goods, why not-" He noticed the barhand hadn't returned and raised a fist angrily. "HEY, KID! HURRY IT UP! PRONTO UNLESS YOU WANT SOME NEW PIERCINGS!" Slowly he turned back to Trav and the group. "...why not share them with the world?" |

For some odd reason, thoughts of Gaeddeon returned to Traveanduri. He was nothing like Leviticus. He was a kind, gentle soul, but had a heart of passion, and drive. At least that's how he came off. And he would always do something nice for her, write her a beautiful poem, bring her a Trollinia Flower from the mist edges of the Waterglades... A tear rolled down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away, and scanned the room again, hoping that Leviticus had not brought any unwanted attention from the guards situated in the bar. "Well, anyway, I think we need to get going. I'm done with drinks, and it looks like you are too, Leviticus." |

"As am I," Ryu said, setting his emptied cup down on the table. "Perhaps it would be good for us to part ways now? I have much training and exploration to commit to." |

"Indeed. Thank you all." Traveanduri started ripping the paper into pieces, but left some small pieces. "Let me shake your hand, fine Ryu. It was a pleasure making your acquaintance." Traveanduri put her hand in his, and passed off a piece of paper. It had the name of Huareleon of Kestha Vera written upon it. She gave hand shakes to the other two warriors, each giving them a piece of paper. Leviticus was handed Traulinosth of Kestha Ustra, and Imilun received a paper reading Umikiyuria of Kestha Mar. "Perhaps we will return here soon, this very bar, in the near future?" Traveanduri insisted, hinting to the heroes to meet back here after they completed their missions. |

Leviticus yawned, waving as he teetered and tottered in the grips of insobriety. "Seeya toots...I gotta...go vomit..." |
