CURRENT EVENTS

CHAPTER ONE (PARTY ONE PROTAGONISTS): THE GATHERING

Maewen woke up this morning to find her mother had volunteered her to help with the installation of steam pipes in the town hall, one of the last steps of bringing the town of Suimilitara, more affectionately called "Imil" by the locals, into the modern Steam Age. Making her way to the Town hall she meets Zet inside.

Rayl sets out to the smithy to obtain a sword he had made for him some time prior. Along the way he gets accosted by bullies. Mael comes to his aide, sending the bullies packing, but his questions are taken the wrong way and Rayl dashes off and obtains the sword. Maewen comes out to investigate the dust cloud Rayl used to escape. Meanwhile Saito travels outside the town and rescues two childen from Maulers, but is injured in the process, returning to the town. At this time, two sisters from Vale, Chika and Chyino, are searching an ice cave for their dog.

Rayl rushes back to the square to get his book, being read by Maewen, and startles her, sending them both to the ground. Zet and Mael converge on the scene, and they speak for awhile after some hilarity of falling over continues. Saito arrives and collapses in the square from his injuries. Maewen and Zet tend to him after Rayl makes a temporary fix to him, while the squire and Mael rush off to obtain the Water of Hermes from the Inn. returning to the group, Mael gives Maewen the water while Rayl discovers some...new psynergy that helps him over the crowd of onlookers.

Maewen, after healing Saito, loses consciousness, so Rayl picks her up and takes her to her house ( seeing as he knows the way from constant bully encounters.) While the others get the injured to the Town Hall. Chika and Chyino find their dog and head back to Imil. Upon reaching Maewen's house, Drake Alistor, a Mars Adept, arriving from Prox, attempts to take Maewen. Rayl darts away only to get cornered in an alleyway. Zet rushes to his aide as the earth adept sends himself onto ( and then through) his roof. Returning to the scene, they are joined by Chika and Chyino, returning from their adventure in the ice cave.

The Battle was short lived due to Drake Alistor's Superior Firepower ( pun intended) and Psynergy. Rayl managed to get Zet out of the main eruption from the powerful Pyroclasm spell, but exhaustion from the previous chase and injuries from crashing through his roof, though mostly from the outskirts of the fiery blast, knocked him unconscious as well as his allies.

Drake then abducted Maewen, and took her to Mercury Lighthouse, where he briefly tended to her- if only to make things easier for his end by gaining her trust. They now climb towards the top.

By about the time it took the Maewen laden Drake to trek out to the Mercury Lighthouse, it was late afternoon/early evening and Rayl and Zet finally regained consciousness in the Healer's home, bruised and burned, but alive and shortly ready to head out to the Lighthouse to save Maewen and stop whatever Drake plans to do with her. After falling in the Water of Hermes a few times and dismissing Mirian as any sort of threat, Rayl and Company are soon joined by Gale, a woman from a wandering tribe in Hesstika, and conduct battle with a Mimic. Rayl forces Mirian to join them with his baffling logic.

On the way up, Rayl meets Spritz, a Mercury Djinn, and Rayl and Mirian exchange a few hostile words, something that will probably happen a lot more, as they further progress, where they encounter Les, who mistakes them for Thieves. After that situation is going on, Rayl leaves the rest of the group with Mirian in tow and they make their way up to the top. Encountering Drake and Maewen, he intercepts the two and reveals the events prior, and a large emotional confusion occurs. The tower shakes with the might of Leonidas, and Drake, pleading Rayl for help rushes to the top to aid him. However, Rayl's short term alliance with the Proxian man seems to have ended in a flurry of anger when Mael arrived and he now heads down to where Maewen supposes the star is, as she and the majority, if not all, of the party going up with her to help.

CHAPTER ONE (PARTY TWO: Protagonists): THE GATHERING

Ryugi arrives at Lemueria, the Heart of Psynergy in Weyard. he seeks to gain access to the Library in the hopes to learn what he can of the Lighthouses, to better stop their influence on their world. Gan is in the Library searching for informantion about The Elemental Stars, for...certain benefits in an emergency.

Ryugi and Gan have met each other in Lemuria's library, and now that they are properly acquainted ( derp hurr durr they hate each other.), at around this time the Pirates setting sail have begun their attack.

CHAPTER ONE (PARTY THREE): The City of Clay

Upon the assassination of King Linne, a war hero from the Fliit-Takaou conflict who was partially responsible for the end of the war and a well loved advocate of the people, the city of Ankohl is thrown into chaos when the culprit is believed to be an adept. Since Ankohl was in the middle of hosting the Fliit-Takaou Martial Arts tournament (a component of an international festival between the two countries celebrating the end of the war several years back, and the tournament attracts many warriors and many adepts among them, there were many adepts in the city and they were targetted both by the military police of the city, charged with capturing all adepts in the city, and the mobs angry about their beloved King's death. Takaou's Emperor Shing has not yet responded to the event.

CHAPTER ONE (PARTY ONE: Antagonists): EYES ON THE PRIZE.

Geographical hoo-haw

I want to put more details (Been putting too many details in things due to boredom...see the profile for overkill <_<) about other characters on the Time Line, but there are very few time based details in people's bios. :<

EDIT: Well Mael stepped out of the ice cave I think, and Chiyo and Chika were in there earlier, so that could be some sort of on foot way, but with my own profile, I stated that Rayl arrived by steam train so...there could be multiple ways across, seeing as it's all one continent...

True but eh, what I really want to know is when Drake's town burst into flames, so I can put that up, it's one of the main things.. Edited my above post with some map related things.

Good point, it's always cold in Imil... Durr...ummm...Spring? That way it's different for one people set out on their adventures, hmmm? Symbolic fresh start?

...and you really need to work on a map so we can sort this stuff out.

hey guuuuuys... my brother kept the stupid computer to himself now i have o get the crappier computer......we really neeed new computers

The cataclysmic event described in Drake's profile I approximate at 2 years before hand. I am also working on my second character, who will be a full-out villain. I enjoyed Drake's villainous actions thusfar, so I thought I'd just roll out a character who sticks to those behaviors.

Well since we have a large chunk of people here. Mind telling us when Zet set off from Garoh and when he arrived in Imil, Arc?

And mind telling us when Chiyo and Chika arrived in Imil, Shiana?

EDIT: Time Line Edited. Added The Destruction of Drake's town. Also added Rayl's Crusade Against his Roof, just for the lulz. Also updated the Present Moment.

Darn it, Shiana went offline...you could post a response to Rayl's attack now, Ark.

We need some sort of Saturos and Menardi evil duo. Hands down. ( Because Saturos kicks Agaito's arse, hands down.)
