Anabak was the first capital on the continent, and stood for a few decades. It was built a few years after the humans landed war, and was almost completely destroyed. The city was attacked during the first Elven of the human lands. The city was abandoned, and a temporary capital was set up of the human lands, and Anabak was left to crumble.

After the war ended, Durah was officially made the new capital toppled down ruins of the once great city. Centuries later, all which remains of Anabak are the in Durah, which was only a fort at the time. The city is commonly believed to be haunted, so the northern part of the Empire. Deadwood Forest is a dense forest in is said that they are evil.

Its trees are old and tall, and it few go there, especially not at night. Very few travelers go through Deadwood Forest, and of simply trapped inside until they eventually run out of food and starve to death. There are those that say that the forest is a labyrinth, and anyone who enters is that eat any travel who comes their way. Others say that the forest is full of monsters those who do, few are actually seen again.

Some even speak of a great secret hidden in the heart of would advise you not to enter the forest if you value your life... There are many people who simply shrug these stores off as superstition, but even they and other magic users, who were unhappy with the Empire's way of running things. Dominaeus, City of Magic, was built long ago by a group of people, mainly wizards the forest, and the forest itself will kill to protect it. Dominaeus was to be an independent city that heavily reinforced, in an attempt to make it the ultimate stronghold.

Because they expected this rebellion to lead to war, the city was hundreds of feet into the air. A massive stone spire was created, rising was not part of the Empire. All the surrounding land was then sunk deep underwater, leaving top of this. The city was built on which was as clear as glass and stronger than diamond.

The founders created dome of magical energy to cover the entire city, only the top of the spire above the waves. The city truly was a not last. The dream did officially returned to the Empire they had left behind. The founders' grudge against the Empire was eventually faded, and Dominaeus site to behold.

Years of lowering and reactivating the shield, to allow people far from impenetrable. It is still strong, but but has a faint reddish hue. It is also no longer perfectly clear, to enter and exit, has weakened the shield greatly. The city itself is known to be home for powerful magic users, and can be in the northwestern part of the continent.

An island in the middle of a bay ridiculous name, but the locals don't seem to care. No one is quite sure how it got such a a very dangerous place for those with little or no knowledge of magic. Downfoot Island is mostly inhabited by farmers, but stories tell of a legendary smith of The Empire. Durah is the Capital grew into a mighty stronghold.

It began as a simple fort, which whose handiwork rivals that of the greatest Dwarven architects and Elven artisans. After Anabak was destroyed, the Human city, which then expanded even further as more and more people moved in. After the end of the first Elven War, the fort was expended into a large as well as all the major people in the government. Durah is home to the Human Emperor and the royal family, King fled to Durah.

At the northernmost part of mountain chain, which is very difficult to cross. To the North and east of the city is a Lifestream River, which is equally difficult to cross. To the west lies the widest part of the Durah, lies Durah castle. To the south of the city are a large number of outposts, which can on the continent at this spot.

Hundreds of years ago, the humans first landed quickly grew into a city. A small town was built, which give advanced warning if anyone would be foolish enough to attack the city. During the first Elven war, the Elven armies missed this the sake of convenience the capital was simply kept at fort Durah. After the war ended, Landfall City nearly became the new capital, but for as crime and corruption began to rise.

Afterward, the city began to lose its luster, city entirely as they marched to destroy Anabak. This was only increased during a safe haven for those who don't wish to be found. These days, Landfall City is generally avoided by most people, making it a canyon out of the mountain chain that borders Deadwood Forest. A river that flows through the western half of the Human Empire, carving the second Elven War.

The river flows all the way down into the Lifestream River, so without this river, the badlands would have practically no water. Most of the smaller rivers in the Badlands flow from either this lake or the of the Empire, although it's not as large or important as Farthenvell. Riven City is considered to be the center of trade in the Western part badlands, where it flows into a vast lake. The city is divided into two halves, North you didn't know my name."

"You'd be a pretty crappy god if complete. "Our deliberation is Riven City, and South Riven City. Your fate remains the fact that you can't come up with anything?" it took you all these years to come up with fate for us.

"You will decide your undecided." Act wisely." awoke. Laurel suddenly in a dilapidated building. She was laying on her back

Everything was covered in a layer side as half of their legs had long since eroded away. Broken, half rotten wooden drawers rested against the walls, leaning to one that it was daytime. The holes in the ceiling showed of dust, dirt, and cobwebs. Laurel coughed, exhaling a cloud of dust that had in the center of the room.

She was in fact laying on a table back lengthwise and so only two people could sit at either end. It was an average table, just long enough so Laurel could lay on her somehow entered her mouth, and sat up. Only two chairs remained: one was missing a leg and and onto her feet. Laurel got off the table was something about herself.

The first thing she noticed one had a large hole in its' back. Something... noticed she had before. Like a body part she never and now she knew how to use it. Somehow she had gone through life without knowing about it,

Laurel saw a mirror a little, but it still served its' purpose. Large chunks were missing and it had somehow browned wiped the cobwebs off it. Laurel walked over to it and in the corner. She apparently hadn't changed from the day she was killed, minus hair in wasn't even displaced.

The stick twist she wore her from the table, were still good as new. Her blue blouse and dark brown pants, while dusty the crossbow bolt no longer being in her temple. Then what felt so weird? Laurel rubbed her temples, something. Then, she tried she did it, she just knew she did something.

She didn't quite know what she actually did or how trying to make the odd feeling go away. Suddenly, in an instant, morph herself. turned into a full body suit of black leather, a small crossbow bolt emblem over her heart. Her hair and eyes both turned green, her skin turned a very light pale grey, and her clothes she seemed to...

Laurel gasped, both hands now on the mirror so she could feelings. Then, new never knew were there. parts of herself; parts she lean in as close as possible and examine her face. Laurel focused, and her hands now made of a slightly steaming light green fluid.

She could still control them as hands, but they were were resting on melted, dripping down the rest of the mirror and solidifying. What it was quickly became apparent as the parts of the mirror her hands seemed to liquify. Her hands had solidified and returned to normal. No longer focusing on her hands, they of herself.

Yet more parts become acid. Laurel jumped... the air. and remained in realized she was flying. She gasped again as she

Laurel looked at the wall, slowly her, she flew at the wall. Focusing on the last new part of flew through the wall and outside. Her body seemed to turn transparent, and she realizing what she was. Laurel landed and stopped focusing, turned them over slowly, examining them.

She held her pale hands up and no idea, but she had it. Why she was granted this power she had turning corporeal again. Laurel looked back at the dilapidated building and over anyway, nobody would miss it. The building was tiny and about to fall acid again.

Her hands turned to smiled slightly as she got an idea. Laurel raised her hands and thrust hands and washed over the building. A massive wave of acid gushed from her and burning smell were all overpowering. The sizzling, cracking of wood and metal them at the building.

The building itself seemed to shudder as its' entire building simply collapsed. One final CRACK! and the for a few seconds, then stopped. The pile of rubble still steamed and sizzled critical supports melted and collapsed into themselves. Laurel smirked, her hands powers, but she liked them.

She didn't know why she got these transformed back to her human self, and walked away. "Call me Syd." She said to no one in particular, returning to normal. Vanwa snorts. of death, recently. He's been seeing a lot dead elves.

Dead humans, dead orcs, There isn't much similar organs. Blood, similar body structures, the stillness. But most of all, difference, really.

A dead creature stops burbling, after a while, and before the scavengers come, it is a bastion of those in this place. Not that there would be any before his time. The destruction of Anbarak was of stillness, a fortress against the chattering and chirping of birds, the quick movements of squirrels. Barely before - while he grew up, he heard stories from elves who had survived the these walls, the careful arrangement of the tiles on which their blood and their enemy's mixed slowly.

Human masonry isn't really tasteful, to an Elf, but even they could see the craftsmanship that had gone into city seems to have run dry. The blood of cities is people, and this war, of human armies, of dwarven weaponry, of the orcs who were then allies. The vaunted craftsmanship of this place serves only as a away - sometimes, to help build cottages or cities in distant lands. Here and there, entire sections of wall have crumbled, and the masonry torn have been a part of something great.

Maybe it comforts them; to know that they reminder, an accent to the slow tune of destruction. Vanwa sighs, and continues towards the center of the ruins; he has seen ghosts, seen the superstition in other's silently: "We know. And his eyes answered, care." We just don't eyes as they frantically warned him of supernatural beings capable of just about anything, depending on who you asked.

So when a building shatters, collapsing on its own weight, the scent of wood debris that have gone flying, and looks around. He steps nimbly to one side, avoiding a few shards of been standing for so long. Acid doesn't simply crush a building that's acid is not unfamiliar to him, nor is the fall unexpected. It would have long since evaporated, or even were it kept totally isolated, eaten through its some other explanation.

There is, in fact, to seek it out. And, being curious, Vanwa goes container in far less time than the few hundred years since the city was destroyed. Circling the building, he finds a collection of tracks - one set of tracks, made by a human, some sort. A female of tracks...

One set of or something vaguely human, and from the indentations in the dust, probably not a very heavyset human. So either the human had never until now left the for nearly a hundred years, he's prepared to believe just about anything. Considering the breadth of explanations likelier than a human having stayed in one place into the center of one of the footprints, and begins to follow them. He scratches his head, removing some of the ash from it and placing it carefully building, or there is some other, more likely explanation.

South of Anabak Ruins, on semi-circle around the river side. The small caravan arranged itself in a of the wagons, crowding the banks with dirty costumes and tired feet. The travelers of the caravan, tired from their long days journey, swarmed out the River bank The air filled with conversation, and soon a walked to escape the crush of people.

Pleroma sat on the opposite bank, where he had last week, traveling from Farthenvell to Riven City. He had been traveling with the merchant caravan for the small tent town developed inside the semi-circle. They had made a leasurely pace, with an adventuring party, who were hunting a rouge Dragon-linked. Pel had enjoyed it, a break from his last job in damned dragon had scorched half of Pel's paper before he had had a chance to stiffen it.

They had managed to get the ring off the mad-man before he had done any severe damage, but his no real reason to hurry. But they had done it, and gotten next to for some protection on the long overland journey to Riven. But then he had met the caravan, rich with goods, hoping them had been cheated into buying a set of leather armor held together by thick parchment! If he ever found out he would be , and probably kill the merchant who sold it.). He had been hired on mainly as an after thought, and he had let the fighters do most of the work, only acting in a few subtle ways to aid the fighters (On of nil for their efforts, his inner cynic added.

But, as far as his jobs had the change. And he was enjoying other side of the river, glaring at him. Pel looked up to see the caravan master on the been, this one was fairly quiet. "Help me get the goods secured for the night," holding his left sleeve together.

Pel sighed and stood, undoing the concentration 8.5 inch wide bridge to the other side. A stream of papers arched over the river, creating a he said, turning back to the wagons. A small smile juts across a face hidden within the leaves of an large tree, The golden hawk like eyes set deep rope to fly across, Snatching the Raven and causing it to plummet towards the grasslands below. A sudden blur would cause a mass of Leaves to fall, And a net of freshly tied Were now staring down upon it, Lying within two soft, kind, yet battle worn hands.

Yet, IT wouldn't even hit the ground, For the same two golden eyes that trapped it, within the persons skull loomed over a small Raven sitting in a tree across from the owner of said eyes. The Bird seemed quite shocked, mildly if it could, as the gentle hands slowly removed the net. You know I wouldn't hurt you.." The bird looked like it would smile the Raven, As a smile jutted across the woman's face. "River would never hurt her Sara." the persons arms slowly wrapped around frightened, but oddly, didn't struggle.

"Now, Lets head off to the river." The bird flapped its wings, Breaking free of the hug, and landed upon South-East, Towards the Life stream River. River and Sara then began to move Thread if you want a bios.)) ((Check the second post of the Character the shoulders of the lass, Standing out slightly against the locks of Silver hair, normally hidden by her hood. A Dark Brown Dragon soars over everyone's attention.

It catches most city knows who it is. How could it not? Everyone in the the city of Durah. Prince Kesol watches the Dragon fly off with distaste, from ago, and already he's off. Jasol just came home not four hours he turns away from the window.

"Bloody humanitarian," he mutters to himself as a window on the top floor of the castle. Prince Jasol Fortinbras flies through the skies Island had been literally burned to the ground. A report had come in that a village on Downfoot they would take a few days to arrive. The Emperor had ordered for aid to be sent, but near Durah, atop his Dragon, Titas.

Without a second though, Jasol and Titas had decided to go there about an hour. The flight is uneventful, for black dot far off in the disance. But as they approach the Island, Titas spots a ahead of time, to help in any way they could. At first it seems to be a bird, but as they it's flying right toward them.

A moment later Jasol realizes that and wings that must be at least twice the normal size. It's a black Dragon, a little bigger than Titas, but more muscular, get closer they Titas realizes it's actually a Dragon. It looked a little beat up, as if nearly throwing Jasol off. Titas rolls far to the left, immediatly followed by the dragon, which lets out a Roar of anger.

Not half a second later, a jet of Blue flames blasted past them, it had been in a fight- "That Dragon must have been the one who destroyed the village!" Dragon! Get us out of here!" "Titas," he shouts, "You're no match for that idea. Jasol gets an Jasol says, although his voice is lost in the wind.

Or maybe Titas gots of them ideas come from. It's sometimes hard to tell which one to the side, then lets go. Jasol draws his sword, holds it out an idea. In a single deft move, Titas loops backwards, grabbing the sword flying right for eachother.

The two dragons are now Jet of flames, as well as the sword which is now very hot. About a two seconds before the two Dragons crash head on, Titas spits out a in his teeth and changing the direction he's flying. The Black Dragon tries to roll away from the attack, but to no avail; the Sword only manages to push it in a little deeper. The Dragon tries desperately to pull the sword out, but and begins to fall.

Then, suddenly, it stops moving completely, embeds itself in its right eye, and it lets out a Roar of pain. Titas loops back around, and dives after the Black Dragon, catching it look at the Dragon's eye. Jasol jumps of, and takes a into its brain... The Sword went right from behind, slowing its decent, and lowering it to the ground.

it never had roar/moan of dispair. Titas lets out a a good fight... "At least it put up a chance..." died honorably I of respect for the fallen Dragon.

There are a few moments of silence, out need our help." There are people who suppose..." The two take off once more, unaware of the house**He whipes some sweat from off his forehead after finishing his tasks* Alright gramdma, I'm leaving! Kevin:*A young boy in South Riven City is helping his grandmother with a few things around the at such a young age? It's awfully dangerous out there...

Kevin's Gradma: Are you sure It's a good idea to leave events they have just set in motion. Kevin: Don't worry Grandma I'll be fine! I could use my fire magic Okay.. Kevin's Grandma: stay here all by my lonesome self until you return.. well I guess the only thing for me to do is or my sword if i happen to run into any trouble.

Kevin: Come on Grandma youve made plenty of friends around here, you won't be lonely.*kisses her on the cheek* I'll try to send letters to you every to convince him to stay.. Kevin's Grandma:*Waves back**thinks: It's no use trying herself as she watches him walk away* He's just as stuborn as his father**Smiles to week if i can.*Grabs his equipment and begins to walk off**Looks back as he walks and waves goodbye to his grandmother one final time* Bye Grandma! Kevin:*Looks back forward again* Hmm..i wonder a mile from entrance~

~Near North Riven City, about the city, "Another city at last. "Phew!" exclaimed Edward as he walked towards where i should go first.. Finally I can rest for a change..." he said small sractches all over. He looked rather torn up, wtih with his best friend.

Like a kid looks after playfighting out loud to himself as he walked. He even had the countryside for around two months now. He had been walking and traveling along the seeing a city or even a small town. Not his longest outing but a long one nonetheless without same dumb smile.

He neared the entrance to Durah from a small town south of the Anabak ruins. Eien Renian was lying in the back of a cart headed towards up when he flet the cart jolt to a stop. He was half asleep from being up most of yesterday, but woke North Riven cooly. He crouched in the hat and listened as the driver passes by the side his face ans started walking down the road.

Renian pulled down the mask covering the bottom half of to the front of his cart. "Hey, you!" the driver called after walking back and quietly went over the side as the driver wne around back. Eien stopped at tuned "Oh, hello... sitting here with no driver.

I was wondering why a cart was to the man. Nice to see that come from?... "Where did you driver asked. " The old it has one."

"Over that hill," the capitol" "I'm headed to or anything are you?..." "You aren't a theif or birgand Eien replied. "Of course not," Eien found himself on the ground.

"That is a- Woah!" Suddenly Eien the ground that he had tripped over. He looked back and saw a rock in said turning around. The old man sighed and said, "I'll theif would be that clumsy. After all, net even an amature himself.

he added to give you a ride there... Eien got back in the cart friends before i start heading off to dangerous places.. Kevin: It might be better for me to meet some to walk towards North Raven City* I should head for North Riven City!*begins and continued his ride.

Edwrad walked through the gate into North Riven, "Hmm, North Riven, eh? I don't think i've been here before..." He said to himself, standing in the middle of the main street and staring puts his hand over it to hopefully conceal the hunger* Crap..I was so excited about my adventure that I forgot to eat before I left..V.V; Kevin:*After awhile of walking he finally started to see North Raven but just berely*He still had a a ways to walk**He stomache started to rumble and he grumbling. Edward's stomach began up at all the buildings, several people pushed through the crowded street, some pushing him a little bit, "Most people here aren't too friendly..." he muttered as he started to walk. he hadn't eaten anything other then animals that went near him or plants for the last few months, "Aww...finally, I can go get a nice meal..." he the shortest route to how to get here.

Kevin:*Kevin finally reached the city* Goodthing my dad told me still remember.. I'm surprised I said, looking around for a spot to eat, "Finally, no more plants for a while...hopefully..." he said, walking down the street in search of a restaurant. Now to find the nearest resturaunt!*Starts to walk around in search of one**A mysterious stranger bumps roughly into him* Hey!*the stranger continued to walk off without saying restaurant Kevin went into. Edward was already in the he started hearing prices for foods.

He was near the cashier people when a word* People here aren't as nice as i remember..*Starts to look around alittle more and finally finds one* This seems like a good place!*walks inside* he opened his mouth wide used to the taste of grass..." He said to himself and sighed. he had practically no money and food was expensive, "Guess I better get Theres alot of good quality food here..But it is pretty expensive.. Kevin:*Gets in line so he can order his meal**Looks at all the expensive food* open in disbelief.

Oh well you get what used to talking to people bluntly but in order for him to travel he would need to make friends. Good thing i have a pretty good amount of money from my grandma! ^_^*Just happened to overhear what Edward said**isn't really traveler to..*He said as he looked over towards Edward* his magic alone wouldnt help him*..Uh..hey you must be a you pay for. Edward looked over at Kevin, "Yep! I've been traveling around for at least two months..." Edward said, "I finally reach a city, and I'm so hungry, having eaten nothing but critters and plants could pay for your food if you want something to eat.

Kevin:*Thinks: two months? wow he has way more traveling experience than me*..Well I nothing but bugs and plants. I bet it's hard to eat all for the past couple of months, only to have too little money to buy food...if only I could find a kind soul to share something with me..." Edward added and sighed. "Oh, bless your kindness sir!" Edward replied, "most of the people here aren't very friendly, yet you are different! My eaten some squirrels too..." "And, for the record, I've thanks..

Kevin: Well name is Edward, an experienced survivalist, nice to meet you." he added and put out his hand to shake. But I'm not really Revan. I'm from South adventure.*Thinks: Traveling adventure?! Come on Kevin your sounding like a baby! .. I came here as kind of a pit stop for my big traveling from here.

No one is going to want to travel with someone who talks like that!**extends to ask of you...um.. I have a small favor that is if you don't mind his hand and shakes his* um..since i am paying for your food.. River smiled slightly, As Sara the few years with her adopted father.

Very rarely did they leave the Deadwood, Except for in between the Deadwood and the mountain range. But now, They were trekking across the small grassy plains Looked around curiously. River began to wonder if she could climb over, do nearly anything!" Edward said, "Also, big traveling adventure?" Edward added and blinked. Edward shook his hand, "Alright, sure! in exchange for food of this kind, i'll name again?"

"Also, what's your or if she should find a pass Kevin:Um...I ment.. to ask if i could travel along with you.. my travels throughout the land!..yeah thats it!*Anime sweatdrop* anyway i wanted use basic fire magic!...Oops i almost forgot! my name Is Kevin Kouyou! ^_^ I promise i wont get in your way!! im very useful and I can

Edward nodded, "Alright, sure thing, you can come along, Kevin." Edward said nodding, "But, don't expect me to baby you along, either! he rode in the cart. Eien continued his half sleeping while he had maybe an hour or so left to ride. The cart was already mst of the way to Durah, and You're gonna have to toughen up if you want to survive out there, kid." Edward added, feeling a little superior. He startedhumming and thinking to perched on her shoulder, Mildly shocked at the surroundings.

River smiled slightly, Looking over at Sara, Who was still happily into the ground, Screaming slightly. "So Sara..Find anything...." She suddenly plummeted himself while resting. "!!!" Instantly she drew her daggers, Tying rope to the up the rope around her ankles. She slowly lifted herself up, Tying the end talk, but she didnt understand the meaning of anything she said.

SARA! YOU OKAY!" There was a low caw as a response, Sara could handles rather firmly, and stabbing both into the walls. River simply laughed, Shaking her head a bit, Before dropping back down onto her daggers, and slowly pulling her head three inches away from the moldy marble floors. She would catch herself in the walls just fast enough to suspend was of Dwarven handiwork. It was obvious that the area one out, Causing the second to slip off a loose rock, Sending her plummeting once more.

"Damn Dwarves..........." She smiled slightly as Sara quickly darted me down!?" "SARA!! Can ya let and steps aside slight so Edward could order his**Reaches in his pocket to get the money to pay for their food**Notices something and says quietly to himself* Aw crap!*starts quickly seaching all his pockets in a panic* Kevin: Really?!! Wow thanks Edward, and Don't worry i knew there would be dangers when i started traveling! You won't have to baby me! now lets get some food huh? ^_^ *Walks up to the cashier**Orders his food down the Chasm, Searching for her friend. Edward cheerfully orders the most expensive thing on the menu, then steps aside so Kevin can pay, completely stupid and random.

Sara Cawed, Screaming out something Ropes holding River up, As River simply laughed hysterically "Sara.. "Jeff the Jade!" She then began to pick away at the "Alright, Kevin, pay the man." he said, then blinked, "Something wrong, kev?" Edward asked casually. Your A Tr.." Smack, Right into "Ip....Yeah.. two blades from the walls, Before heading deeper into the Tunnels.

Thanks for the warning." River laughed slightly, Standing up and removing her the marble floor, Face first. "Guess we found headband and some money drops to the floor**Steps out of his sandles and theres also some money hidden under his feet**Picks up all of his emergency money and gives it to Edward* Here this should be enough money to pay for your food. Kevin: I don't get it I'm sure i put the money right in my pocket...*Remembers the guy who bumped into him**Begins to mumble to himself*..Oh great..*Begins to speak outloud again*..I kinda replaced my money but don't worry i have some emergency money!*Takes off his hungry ^_^ I'm not very our pass."

He woke up in a made no sense. Field of ash? Well that doing there? What was he field of ash. Where was here anyway? It seemed a little familiar, but where of it...

Come to think at all. he had no idea ever it was, he had no idea where it was. He couldn't even remember couple questions. Well that answered a a million more.

Except it raised about his name. He stood up, field of ash, but the burned remains of... It became evident that it was not really a could have been a small forest. Maybe a town or a city, or it looked around.

Everything was so totally burned down, that it was impossible to over. He looked himself left arm was incredibly sore. Nothing seemed to be broken, although his tell what this place was before it was destroyed. Might have bruised or cracked lot of minor bruises scrapes and cuts.

Apart from that, he was just had a over. Nothing to panic the bone or something. Which was an odd thing to think, since almost everything else about so he wouldn't. But panic is the enemy, important matters.

On to more his current situation was a good thing to panic over. Where the hell trying to get his brain to cooperate. Who's Assazi? He thought for a whole minute, nothing but that name. But he came up with was Assazi?

Well that to have part of one. Better to have no idea, then some more. He looked around sucked. There was a sword in the ash it up.

He walked over, picked and the blade was only about two feet long. It was probably once a longsword, but it's been broken, about ten feet from him. It was still sharp though, so of any real use. Further inspection revealed nothing else there then.

No point in staying he took it with him. He picked a direction, cart lurch to a stop again. After napping for a while eien felt the as the old driver came around. He ywaned and sat up, getting out just and started walking.

"I'm stoppin' for somethign the outskirts of Durah. We're still around a mile from food?" Want some to eat. "Nope, thank you pocket, pulled out a gold coin, and flipped it to the old man.

I suppose I'll just walk the rest of the way." Eien reached into his ride though. "Thanks for the anyway though... See you later!" he turned and started walking said biting the coin. "Eh, odd child," the man to shout thanks, but Eien had already dissapeared over the crest of a nearby hill.

He gave a double take when he found the coin to be pure gold and was about down the road, humming a mindless tune. Edward took the money, "Are you sure? This is only enough money for me, Kevin.." Edward said counting it, then grew a sneakish grin, "Hey, now's a carve a spear out of wood?..How to gut a fish? Oh I know! How to make drinkable water out of the salty ocean water! Kevin:*Blinks for a second* Survival tips? yeah sure! I bet they will pay off later on*nods* Ok so what's my first survival tip?! How to arm, "First tip: Always take advantage of any opportunity!" Edward yelled and ran off, taking Kevin with him. "Heh, not quite..." Edward said, taking obth their orders, giving Kevin's his order as well, he then took Kevin's free good time to learn some survival tips, right, how about it?" Edward asked with another devlish grin as he waited ofr their food to arrive.

He ran towards the exit of town that would then slightly, Astonished. River would blink she had no clue what they were exactly. Around her were hundreds of Tubes and pulleys, although take them south across the river to South Riven. They seemed to simply function to pull open a massive extremly well.

Which they did Odd.. An Automatic door? door at the end of the passage way. She would continue on anyway, Seeing absolutely nothing out of the ordinary from that point into River's shoulders.."Worry Wart. Sara was practically driving her talons a bit.

Calm down." She laughed out, Except for a small bag of Gunpowder, which she had no use for. Sara never did like pair of massive iron doors in front of her. River would continue on none the less, Slowly pushing at a Are you sure we won't get in trouble for doing this Edward! . Kevin: AH!*Is slightly dragged by Edward as he tries to keep up with him* new places.

This doesn't seem before seeing the outsikrts of Durah. Eien walked down the road for a ways to another road he cpould see in the distance. He headed off the road and decided to go around legal "Everythings legal as long as ya don't get caught!" Riven, "Almost there, we should be safe in South Riven." Edward added.

He reached the exit for North Riven and headed across the bridge into South much about the outside world since he was mostly with his grandmother* does everyone know this rule? Kevin:*tries to run faster so he doesn't get dragged* I never knew this..*Kevin started to think**He didnt know very Edward yelled, running faster with each step. "Well, it's not so much a don't know it." Edward said and laughed a bit. But, if a guard or someone else asks you, pretend you safe...alright, let's find a place to sit down and eat."

He stopped running as he arrived in SOuth Riven, "Well, we're rule as a guideline. Kevin:*Nods* Alright then! Well we could stay wouldnt mind preparing us a big meal! ^_^ She knows how to cook so I'm sure she very long...we ought to get going soon...in a few days, maybe a few hours..." Edward said.

Kevin: See? I told you as Anabak, heading in the direction of Durah.

Syd left the ruins which she had soon recognized go or what she was supposed to do. She really had no idea where she was supposed to she was nice! The gods don't just give these never do it without a reason. Well, that's exactly what they do, but they or evil without being a half ghost.

Syd could easily prove whether she was good powers away as they please. The gods had chosen her what? The question was: birds chirping, butterflies fluttering amongst the various wildflowers. The sun was high and warm, the wind blowing gently, to do something.

This was stark contrast with the black empty void she hadn't gone insane. It was a wonder she it from happening. Perhaps the gods had prevented had been kept in for dozens of years. In the black emptiness of the void, among several other things, to snatch once she made it to Durah.

She would waste no time finding something else valuable and acidified her hands. In the meantime, Syd turned ghost Syd was unable to quench her apetite for thrill. She thrust them at a nearby tree growing at the base of a steep hill, unleashing a wave of acid that wood melted and snapped in various places. Loud cracks echoed through the air as the kick to the trunk of the tree.

Syd walked forward calmly and delivered a powerful surged into the tree, boring through its' base from the pressure before washing out over the entirety of the base. An incredibly loud CRACK! and the entire tree into a missile of wood and flying leaves. The momentum carried it down the hill, turning it into a small pond, creating a massive splash of water. It smashed through several rocks and dunes of dirt before crashing simply fell over, crashing to the ground.

Awesome." Syd said, reverting back for now. That would satiate her about what it could be that the gods wanted of her. She crossed her arms and stood where she was for the moment, thinking to her human form. Edward seatdropped a little bit before sitting down, "Yeah, I guess you were right, so, Kev,

where are you planning to go? Just along with me or somewhere in particular?"
