@savannah_grace2009 @acancello @esther-c @rae @highscribeofaetherium @keilah-h (I think that’s everyone
What do you think about this order of the areas?
Jungle
Cavern
Swamp
Mountain
Sky
Ocean
Desert
Tundra
Volcano
Btw, do you think they should just go straight through each area, or would they go back in between some of them? Particularly, I’m thinking that they would need to for Ocean since they need a ship I assume.

📚 Appreciator of Books@jonas I don’t mind the order! and ok, I’ll do both.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
@jonas I think it might depend on the location of each of the areas. For some of them, it might make more sense just to go straight to the next one without going back, but others (like you mentioned, the ocean) would make sense to come back first. Any artists on here want to draw a map?

NAHIM
Nahim cast glances of bloody murder at Zahlin throughout breakfast, of which he ate none. He itched to go over and start the fight, but he would have to wait, unitil they were out of castle walls, Fennin would take the blame.
Ellis sat across from him, glancing up every once in a while. Nahim could feel the bump on his head, and the heat. As well as the throbbing going on inside of his skull.
Something cold touched his head, Nahim turned from another one of his eye contacts with Zahlin to see the outstretched arm of Nora pressing a towel wrapped around ice to his head. He smiled and held it with his own hand.
“Thanks, Nora.”
“No problem.” Nora slid into the seat next to him, looking at Kate and Ellis before quietly talking, not quite whispering, to Nahim,
“What did we talk about a year ago?”
“A lot.”
“I mean, about your anger. I get it, wanting to kill King Vorgan makes sense, but Zahlin? What has he ever done to your family or friends, or people?”
“Nora, Zahlin grabbed Ottoline. When I first met him, he attacked first, and then I wasn’t serious. He pushed a little later, but it was mostly just my nerves going crazy about what was going on. Then he wraps his arm around Ottoline’s throat. He knocks me out when we’re supposed to be on the same side. Remember Canin, Nora?” Nahim spit to the side. “He turned his back on me, my family, the refugees, everyone he once called his friends, and betrayed them. Zahlin has no loyalties but to himself and to that sword, he is not to be trusted.”
“Nahim – ” Nahim leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek.
“I promise I won’t kill him without better reason, but trust me Nora.” Nora kissed him back.
“Okay, but talk to me, every day. In the morning, or in the evening, you must promise me that we will pour out our hearts before each other like we did so often.”
“I promise.”
“By your Honor?”
“Nora, who was it that advised me not to throw away my Honor to chance to much?”
“It was Mandin.” Nahim kissed her again.
“Nih, I’m sure it was you too.”
“But, Nahim, will you still promise?” Nora drew back, looking him straight at him with her large brown eyes.
“I promise.”
Yeah, I know, I little mushy.

Sounds good 👍
And did I see a post about the characters being in teams of two or something like that?

Sound good! And what did I miss about teams of two? I see them above, but what are they doing together?
"Would you kindly...?"

I’m not entirely sure. Nahim and Zahlin will be forging weapons. I guess Fennin will explain it when @rae writes that RP.

"You need French Toast."
I need to turn this into a meme somehow:
“Zahlin would help, I have no doubt.” – Nahim
“Zahlin has no loyalties but to himself and to that sword, he is not to be trusted.” – also Nahim

@jonas @savannah_grace2009 @acancello @esther-c @highscribeofaetherium @keilah-h @anyone I forgot.The moment everyone has been waiting for…
Fennin
Fennin, with long strides, walked to the center of a room like others, yet unlike. It was circular, with the same style of tree pillars and cliff-face walls, but in the center were young saplings and vines, twisted together to make a seat before a half circle of the guests. Fennin sat on the throne and cleared his throat.
“Guests of Queen Silvae, the Queen will not be joining us in this meeting, she is by the bedside of a…” Fennin paused, collecting himself to say the next words, “A dying king. I alone shall be instructing you here.
“You already know your mission, you already know most of circumstance. To go into the whole of the lore behind the Stones would take a day and a half, but we have no such time to waste on little matters that have little relevance to what you need to know. If you wish to know the lore, the Prince, who will introduce himself shortly, will be with you along the entirety of the journey. What you need to know now is this, those Stones, separated and shielded have no power, but when bonded together, or brought near each other, can be dangerous, even lethal, to those not used to its power. The Prince, and the Prince alone will carry the stones, for he was born under their rays.
“You will go through all nine regions of Lillen, outside of here, the Monarch Palace. In order of the journey, it will be, the jungle, cavern, swamp, mountain, sky, ocean, desert, tundra, and volcanoe*. For each of these regions, there is one Stone. For each of these Stones, there is one dragon. And for all dragons, there is the Black Sky. I hope, he never comes, but you should know, when the sun rises, he blocks it out. You will never have to fight him, he would crush Lillen before you had the chance.
“To be ready, I will pair you in teams. Each team will do a certain task until all is ready to set forth. You and the Lillennings, must be prepared to go in no more than two weeks (for RP purposes, we may go through as slow or fast as we like.)
“Nahim, Zahlin! I pair you together to work in the forges, as a team. Do not let me down.
“Ellis, Ottoline! You will work on training, as I know some of you have never fought.
“Kaine, Snake! You as well, will prepare with training. The four of you will train Lillennings, and any others of your party, who have never fought. You will also stratigize, with the Prince, and Nahim, and Zahlin, in the evenings.
“Kate, Nora! I know you know your weapons too, but I need you working scout missions. Not yourselves, but you will listen to and send Lillenning scouts.
“Kari, Amir! You will be one team. Hugo, Hedieh, you will be another. You shall prepare as needed.
“If I have assigned jobs wrong, talk to the Prince about why it is wrong, and suggest a solution.
“The next order of business…” Fennin trailed off. Sighing, he let his shoulders relax and threw away his formal air. Leaning forward as he gripped the arm rests of his chair, he looked into each one of the faces before him. “You all may die. If Black Sky comes, you will die. I know the Queen said you must participate or never go home and that only she could send you home, but…there is one other person, who can help you. I am the Prince. I didn’t tell you, playing the act of my own aid because my mother was worried you would realize I could send you home, for her blood is my blood. Indeed, I am magical. I can send you home, to the exact time and place you left. I can’t, I won’t, let you go on the quest for my people, unless I know you would rather help us and then, possibly go home, than go home now. Speak. Tell me. I will not send the unwilling to death, even though it may mean the life of my father.” Prince Fennin leaned back into his chair.
*I am calling them so, because I don’t know if we were making up our own names for the regions, or if we were going with the Latin ones.
