Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eladrin stood before the council in the Dark Forest, “My crimes are not so wrong as to be exiled I did what I was told to do What you told me to do ” He shouted angrily.

“No, we told you to save the few that were left, you saved them and killed the Twelve Kuo-Toa that were still there.” The Elder spoke as if he had been there and witnessed it First Hand.

“When I arrived, the Kuo-Toa attacked me I had no choice ”

The Kuo-Toan Ambassador from the Pale Sea walked out from the shadows and spoke to his Translator. “The Ambassador says that the one survivor arrived at the scenes, and attacked them, not as the accused has said it to be.”

The Elders looked towards Eladrin, who took half a step back, “No...no...”

“You are hereby exiled from the Centaur Clans of the North, South, East, and West.” one Elder said calmly, “and any Centaur you meet has the right to kill you.”

Eladrin drew his bow and galloped from the glade, three guards in hot pursuit, “I was the fastest, strongest scout that there was in the clan, and they throw me away like a rusty sword.” he muttered to himself as he neared the edge of the forest.

There was a large group ahead, twelve. Eladrin couldn’t take them all. He drew his sword and charged the group, taking a hit to his face. He continued running, and diverted towards Turtle Rock.

Eos stood before the assembled group of military leaders, “We must make a stand We cannot allow the Fiends to-“

She was cut off by one of the archers, “Ma’am, there is a Centaur coming ”

Eos turned to Kifarna, who was standing at attention a few feet away, “Go find out what it is he wants.”

Kifarna mounted and flew down to Eladrin, “Halt We will not hesitate to attack ” he shouted deeply as he dismounted. Kifarna noted that he was injured.

Eladrin blinked several times, “Exiled...attack...run...” Kifarna looked him curiously as an Avoral rushed down to him.

“He’s hurt Get a Healer ” she shouted as she turned away and flew back up to the top.

It had been several hours since Eladrin’s arrival, and all they had gotten out of him was that he was exiled for attacking several Kuo-Toans and was attacked by his own kind while
trying to escape the forest. They then had to take him down for healing, and the meeting was delayed.

“I hope they hurry.” sighed Sakura impatiently, she had, at first, been in awe of the many Celestials, but quickly got over it.

“Patience.” Said Kifarna, “You must remember to be patient.”

Sakura nodded, “I suppose so.”

Eos marched up to the two, “I never got a chance to properly welcome you before Ma’am, We rarely have Elementals here, since they find it unsettling.”

“I do find it unsettling, but My masters instructed me to come with him,” She nodded towards Kifarna, “and I’ll do just that.”

A’besh walked in from The Room of Healing. “The Centaur is recovering, he is expected to be conscious in about an hour. In the meantime, we need to be briefed on where the Golden City was last seen.”

Eos turned, “The Catalli Sea.” she noticed a small sigh from behind. The girl had obviously heard of the place, and knew of it’s danger, “It landed last just before changing route to go through the Lake of Fears, but never landed there. We expect that it was Fiends, as they have been seen in greater numbers lately. Something evil is at work.”

“My thoughts exactly.” a voice came from behind A’besh, who turned, sword raised and almost swung at Eladrin, “I was exiled because of what I was ordered to do, they haven’t exiled anyone in over a thousand years. Magic is being used for evil purposes.”
