Morning Light: Thread 1: In Media Res The Foreword!jSaxman3BgCountry code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 41550358[View All]

#ask/invite #canon: lost light universe #era: six hours before high noon #no but for real it's a fantasy au #era: morning light

It is a time of legends.

The world has never known more peril than it does in these halcyon days, nor has the sun above it ever shone brighter for the brave and noble souls that stand against the forces that want the mortal world for themselves.

Twenty years have passed since the greatest of Man's princes turned traitor and took up the mantle of the Lich King, sitting in his citadel of ice and bone in the far north of the world, plotting the downfall of all things good and pure in existence, and yet all his necrotic might and icy hatred has been for naught against the heroism of the cities that were once his and the arms and armies of other cities still that never trusted him, even in the days where he yet possessed a soul of his own.

It has been ten years since the disaster at Kaprika, an entire civilization vanishing overnight, sucked screaming into the realm of Chaos and leaving behind a frigid hellscape of capering demons and embittered, haggard survivors, a place where the veil between material and immaterial is treacherously thin and the unknowable things that wish to gnaw on the bones of the myriad mortal races and spit the gristle out claw feverishly at the bars of their cages, shrieking and gibbering where none can hear, but for every demon that bursts through reality like a swollen, diseased pustule, there are twenty silver-armored figures of the Seventh Legion to stamp it out, purple bolts of witchfire splashing off their armor like greasy smoke and tortured, inhuman shrieks falling on deaf ears as these few elite among Stormwind's countless defenders condemn the beast to another eternity of seeking an entrance into the materium.

It has been five years since the formation of the Orders, fraternal organizations that seek to look beyond border disputes and age-old blood feuds to protect their various homes and ensure all are ready for the next inevitable crisis, for there are always more crises, more than could ever be put into words; those named are but a few among innumerable, just as the glories and honors of these days. The orcish warriors of Orgrimmar raise a shout of joy and pride to rival any cheer of Stormwind's human sons at news of slain titanic beasts or repelled demonic incursions; the archmagi and nether-scholae of the College work tirelessly to bring new arcane wonders into the world just as eagerly as the dwarvish blacksmiths and runesmiths of Ironforge show off their newest inventions to the merchant-lords of Reeve. Every war sees new wonders created and discovered in tandem, every spat between Horde and Alliance is in spite of how well their soldiers have overcome the Fallen Son's latest plans. It is a world of contradictions and sureties, myths and mysteries.

Rejoice in what it means to know honor and glory, for these are words that mean a million things to a million beings but have never been more universally understood. Marvel at the wonders of the age, for to live here is to witness an epoch of discovery and remembrance, to see gods and science existing side by side.

It is a world where adventure can be found wherever it is sought, and where the battle must never be forsaken, no matter how dire.

It is merely a matter of time.

What is it little one? Do you wish to have another slice of pork... hmm?

>Though thin tentacle of goo protruded from the blob and pointed in the direction of the mushroom child at the edge of the forest.

>Perhaps she can teach it to worship her lord and savoir!!
>The picnic was packed up in the blink of an eye, and in another one, the girl was already standing in front of the mushroom child with a dust cloud trying desperately to catch up with her. And it only took half of one after that for the sales pitch to begin on a loud professional-ish voice.

Hello wayward soul! Have you sought me out to learn the teachings of my most wonderful goddess, of our lord and savoir Erubetie!? Or perhaps our meeting is a thing of fate! Regardless, it is clear that my lord has woven this moment into the very stars above! Thus I must do my part and teach you all I know so that you may worship Her Brilliant Gooieness Erubetie!!

Perhaps she might be able convert then! Should that be the case, then this was already turning out better then the last three villages she happened upon!

You wish me to head in that direction? Very well! Come along my pretties, a cleric's work is never done!

>Aurisa was adapting to civilization remarkably well, all things considered. she stopped chewing on the furniture around the casino, she could be bathed with a minimum of bloodshed; heck, she’d even learned how to use a bathroom!
>but there were a few things that had still yet to properly click in her head. wearing actual clothing, talking correctly, and most relevant right now, personal space.
>so to her, there was really nothing wrong with bluntly shoving her way through anyone who happened to stand in her path as she lazily wandered toward their destination.
>having spent her however-many years of life (not that even Aurisa had any idea how many – age just wasn’t something her people ever bothered to keep track of) tracking game and navigating through dark and cramped forests until it became second nature, finding her way around a series of orderly square “streets” was almost mind-numbingly easy. she was pretty sure that she could’ve lead the way to the brewery with her eyes closed, asleep, with her ears stitched shut and only navigating by the smell of alcohol in the air.
>so, that left her mind to wander and take in the sights and sounds around her. and by god was there a lot to take in.
>even in the short time she’d spent outside the forest, and the even shorter time she’d spent on Arcadia (again, not that even Aurisa would be able to give an accurate measure. she really needed to learn how this whole ‘time’ thing worked one of these days), she’d already encountered so many new sights and sounds and people and smells and tastes that she could have scarcely ever imagined back in her homeland. sure, not all of them were pleasant, but they were new! and that left Aurisa in a perpetual state of childlike wonder.

Not-elf world truly wonderful, yes Ram?

>Aurisa had never been particularly popular with her people, whether her subjects or her own family. she had been considered a rebel at best and an outright menace to the very fabric of nature at worst, always asking uncomfortable questions like “what’s past the edge of the forest”, or “why does this prey look like us but different”, questions that threatened to bring the wrath of the gods down on their entire forest for her arrogance and hubris.
>but now that she had seen what was truly out there, Aurisa could never imagine going back to what she previously knew. one day she would come home and share all the new and incredible things she’d seen, bringing her people into a new golden age of prosperity and enlightenment with all these radical new ideas from the outside world.
>her favorite was how the not-elves had this whole system where you could trade shiny cold rocks for the things you wanted, instead of just taking them by force and leaving anyone too weak from age, sickness, pregnancy, or the like to die. so progressive, so egalitarian! Aurisa could barely even imagine how many problems such a thing could solve back home!
>as these daydreams started to fill her head, a question struck her; a burning curiosity that, for some reason, she had yet to address.

>for all the things she had been so curious about, all the questions she had been asking lately, she had never thought to direct any of that at her new friend.

...Ram. What sky world like?

>Aurisa took in the world around her with wonder. Maybe that was a princess thing, to find enchantment wherever they looked. Ram was decidedly less wowed, though it was not for lack of curiosity. Certainly, it seemed very different to home. The tokens they had were freely traded instead of a full cash in system, and the people they paid tribute to didn't seem to be any kind of God King.

>Ramiel took it in with quiet certainty. His was not to reason why. Papa told him that when he'd first asked about his work on the farm as a young boy and he wasn't going to start thinking about things now. The world below the sky was decidedly similar to the world above it, though there were enough differences to be noticeable.

It's...new.

>The slow methodical voice of someone who had to carefully think through each word they said. Not out of a desire to not cause offence, but the kind of slow earthy logic that had no room for false compliments, masks or misdirection. And new it was. Compared to the farmstead he'd lived on, the family and folks that he'd seen day by day, the hustle and bustle of Arcadia, the smell of alcohol, food and plenty more that he couldn't quite place, new was the most accurate way to describe the place he found himself in.

>But Ram's musings on Arcadia halted, interrupted by Aurisa's question about 'sky world.' Home. Honestly, Ram hadn't really much thought about it while he was home, just focusing on other things. He followed quietly along after Aurisa, though a quiet 'hmmm' rumbled out of his throat as he thought of an answer.

...Drier. I never saw as much water as is here. And there were more animals too. It isn't much different from here. We have wings, and you don't.

>There was a long pause as Ram continued to step along, comparing Surtaras with Arcadia in his mind. One of the bigger things that stuck out to him was an odd thing to mention and something he never really told anybody. Ram had remarkably sharp eyes, and whenever he went into town with the cart for market, it always caught his attention in a way that he didn't really feel here...

...People are less relaxed up there, than they are here. Don't know what it is. Maybe it's something in the food here?

>Whenever he looked in the eyes of the traders as he plied the fruits, meats and veg, or when the tithe was offered to the God King, the envoys of the ruler, and the market sellers looked the same. He couldn't really describe it properly, it was like all the light had turned off for them and had been turned off for some time. He'd never mentioned it. To his parents or anyone else.

>It wasn't the same here. Whether that was a good or a bad thing was anybody's guess, but all Ramiel knew was that it was.

>the path wasn't wasn't paved like most dirt roads. Didn't look like people traveled here very often. Although from the trampled brush and a few snapped branches, the tiny mushroom creature's path was visible.
>its strength was plain to see as well, as it pushed a sizable log out of its way as it traveled, despite being just a bit bigger than a human toddler.
>just how far was it taking her?

>Then soon, the mushroom, cleric, and the legion of slimes would come to a new person.
>a man kneeling beside a tree.
>clad in mostly rags, including a hood, his species was hard to tell, but he appeared to be humanoid; although the large hunchback he possessed indicated he wasn't quite human.
>upon his back, several green, slightly phosphorescent mushrooms were growing.

>he didn't notice the pose yet, too busy carving a few freshly killed rabbits. Must be a hunter.
>Lastly, thankfully, from his humming, he was actually capable of speech unlike his fungal companion.

>the cleric was no strange to moving through the forest and managed to come upon the man without tripping over a root or something else unfortunate as that. Though she had been ready to preach to him as swiftly as the mushroom child, the delicate work of properly cleaning a fresh kill promoted her first make her presence known.
>It was not wise to surprise someone who had a sharp object in their hand after all.

Greetings hunter!

>She didn't really pay any mind to the mushrooms growing in this back. It was not her place to judge the vessel a soul resides in. So long as he didn't try to stab her or eat her, or call her a heretic, they'd get along just fine.

Huh?

>it wasn't often he heard someone talk to him, when most of his friends didn't speak. The hunchback jumped in surprise, holding his knife and freshly carved rabbit pelts in his hands. Turning around, a mask covered his face.

...

>standing up with an odd creaking noise, the hunchback was surprisingly tall.

Not often I see outsiders. Are you friendly?

>he asked, cleaning his knife with a rag.
>the mushroom child stood in front of him, near his rather thin legs,so thin that they didn't look like they'd be able to support his large torso.
>he spoke with a slight slur, as if he had trouble talking.

This forest isn't for unfriendly people...

>Aurisa kept her eyes firmly locked on Ramiel as he spoke, seemingly forgetting all about the outside world even as she kept bluntly shoving her way through an increasingly annoyed procession of people.
>at his mention of the water, she perked up considerably, always ready to flex her imagined intellectual superiority.

No, no! Rest of world dry, many animals! Aurisa elf-home most animals of all! Asked girls, this “oh-shun”. Like lake, but very big. Dry again soon, promise Ram.

>her mood dropped slightly as he elaborated on the differences in people. Aurisa sighed theatrically and rolled her eyes.

Yes, elf-home same too. Always only hunting and killing and god-prayer and blah blah blah.
>she clapped one hand open and shut in that little talky-mouth gesture; one of the many rude things one could do with their hands that the girls of The Medusa had taught her so far, and one of Aurisa’s new personal favorites.
No smiles, no change, always angry, always busy. Boring.
>not that Aurisa didn’t like hunting and fighting as much as the next wood elf, but there had to be more to life than that. variety was the spice of life and all, and if there’s one thing this world had in store for her, it was variety.
>again she took a moment to take in the surroundings, picking her smile back up a bit.

But this~! So much different, new things! Always change every day! Maybe that why not-elf-not-birds relax? So much to do, so much to see, so much color and sound and taste and smell and-
>as if right on cue, Aurisa’s expression suddenly fell, her face scrunching up and her tongue hanging between her teeth in disgust. it would’ve looked almost adorable, if it were on anyone else.
>as she had been talking, the pair had arrived at their destination, the brewery just a short ways away and in plain sight. this meant that Aurisa’s sensitive nose, finely tuned for tracking the most elusive prey, had just been violently obliterated by the disgustingly acrid smell of alcohol.

...Some not good.

>When asked if she was friendly, her response was immediate.

No man need fear me so long as they are not worshippers of Chaos, demons, ravenous undead, wrathful spirits, abusers of children, or over zealous debt collectors!

>Unwarranted hatred of slimes was also on that list but Noel had a feeling this this mystery man had no qualms with her gooie companions so long as they behaved themselves.

I am but a humble travelling missionary, a priestess of the Goddess Erubetie, looking to spread the good word of her glory to all who'd listen!

>Of course, he wasn't going to get away from her pitch either

I understand you are in the middle of you hunt my good sir, but would you like hear the story of my Lord and Savior? She welcomes all into her soft semi solid bosom as her own children!

>the mushroom covered hunchback scratched his head.
>well, he didn't know anyone who was any of those listed and he wasn't one of them, that's for sure.
>placing the rabbit pelts into the bag at his waist, he hummed.

I'm back a humble hunter, fully committed to the Fungal Mother of the Grove. I have little desire to be embraced by another.

>That would explain the mushrooms growing on his back or the mushroom child.
>rubbing his chin, he nodded.

...But I believe others of my kin will be more open to it. At the Grove, we are open to any knowledge presented to us. We share a mind, but not a soul.

>Ramiel didn't visibly alter, but the air around him seemed to grow more relaxed at Aurisa's explanation that the water was not everywhere. He had not seen this much water in...ever and as pretty as it was, he wanted to feel something solid and earthy underneath his boots as soon as possible. 'Oh-shun' was a weird name too.

>Aurisa kept going though, with her own woes about her home. The 'god-prayer' part seemed about the same to his life, though the only thing he hunted typically ended up being rats. No smiles, no change...That seemed very similar. Ram quietly shifted as he walked behind his diminutive new friend as she continued. This new world was certainly very different, a stark contrast to all he'd known and experienced, but...as much he vaguely missed the comfort of his home, the atmosphere felt so much better with all these un-winged people simply...living, without the same level of fear and apprehension.

>Speaking of living, it was time for them to make one, as Aurisa's tell-tale scrunched up face made tell of the arrival at the ship's brewery. True to form, there were other people milling about outside, some muscle there to transport the latest bit of swill to the unlucky customers of the bars, taverns and dens of ill repute. As the pair of them wandered up to the small opening before the back room, the man leaning against one of the beams out front seemed to recognise them, and offered a lazy salute

"Howdy there, you guys here for Jackson's lot, right? I've gotta grab your stuff, hang tight for a bit."

>And with that, he ducked behind a curtain, and the sounds of footfalls became more and more distant. In the mean time, Ram and Aurisa were standing on the outside, while the other lifters of the other establishments stared. Of course, they stood out, both in dress and in looks compared to some of the more classically dressed pirate ruffians. There were murmurs and whispers echoing out, corroborating rumours about Romero's new hires that were a little green compared to the others, and if they were green, then how could that benefit his competitors...?

>Aurisa didn’t bother to respond, too irritable over the godawful smell violating her senses to bother making conversation.
>she just dropped to the floor where she stood and sat down on the ground to bide her time while they waited.
>she could tell people were looking at them. she didn’t need to look up, she could feel their movement and hear their whispers. she didn’t like it. sure, she loved being given attention for her greatness, but this felt different. wrong, in ways she didn’t know the words to articulate.
>she glanced up from the floor to shoot a glare aimlessly into the crowd and underlined it with a low, animalistic growl and a quick flash of teeth. unsurprisingly, the unlucky gentleman who her eyes happened to fall on quickly broke eye contact and hurried off on his way.

>feeling just a little more secure, Aurisa turned her attention back to the ground in front of her. she drew her knife from underneath the furs she wore; it looked more like a delicate art piece, a long and thin thing made of fine wood and covered end to end in elaborate, delicate engravings, but still every bit as sharp and sturdy as any metal.
>so naturally, she just sat there and lazily traced the lines in the grain of the wooden floorboards with the point.
>she didn’t like waiting. Aurisa was drawn to novelty, and that naturally meant that she got bored fast.
>they’d barely been waiting a few minutes, but with nothing to occupy her attention besides the awful smell all around her, onesided conversation with Ramiel, and the knife in her hands, she was short on options to keep her attention.

...Eugh. Disgusting. Why not-elves like this? Smells like dead. Tastes like dead.

>Ram was less alert by comparison. He'd had years of practice at completely ignoring the stares of anybody attempting to grab his attention in any way, shape or form when he'd been taking the produce to market. So the rabble of surly muscle and their glares washed against a cold wall of nothing. The only response he gave was stretching out a little, the scraggly wing on his back spreading to its meagre full size before nestling back into him.

>This meant that he'd also quite handily ignored Aurisa growling at one of the people in the crowd before she started tracing in the grain of the wood. Instead, Ram swung back and forth absently on the balls of his feet. He was good at waiting, and needed precious little to occupy himself, unlike his elven friend.

They look like they're having fun at the Medusa. Maybe it's for the fun rather than the taste.

>Ram didn't really get the process. They had some drinks, then they seemed to get happier and/or sadder. Jackson said that was the point, but what if they didn't want any drink? Work was confusing sometimes.

>Fortunately for Ram's thoughts, and the floorboards, there was the scratching sound of wood on wood as the proprieter slid out two large barrels of the drink, wiping his brow before he leaned against the door frame.

"Awright, that's yer lot. You're lucky that I was just about finished with this last night.

>And this was greeted with jeering and booing from the crowd that had gathered around.

"Aw come on! We've been waitin' here for 'ours for you to bring us that pisswater you call beer and you just roll out the barrels for these pricks?"

>Called out one particularly brave caller, which drew an eyeroll from the proprieter as he turned to face the angry mob.

"Blow it out your ass, they're ordering the cheap shit, it's easier to make, you pay for quality, you pay for longer wait times."

>Ramiel, for his part walked over to one of the barrels to start hoisting it over his shoulder, only to be greeted with a large, muscled hand slamming on top of the keg. He looked up, into the quietly confident face of a man far larger and far more built than he. The sides of his lips quirked into a smile, as he and the two other men he was with started to move in on the barrels.

"Well, it's an awful shame that you'll just have to keep waiting your turn, I'm sure the Medusa can last the wait for a little longer, but our need is greater than yours, you under-"

That's ours. You should wait for yours.

>Ramiel cut him off mid sentence with the blunt force trauma of a hammer on a bungee cord. It hadn't the faintest idea where it was going or what would happen, all it could do was smash. The oily henchman's confident smile faltered for just a few seconds, before returning to his face in full.

"I see you haven't quite grasped the nature of where you work, greenhorn."

>A large gargantuan hand found its way into the middle of Ram's chest, knocking the young bird boy onto the floor unceremoniously with a grunt of surprise escaping his voice. The other grunts chuckled as the ringleader stood in front of their rightful conquest of shitty beer.

"The strong take, and the weak deal with it. And when you get back to Romero, you can tell him Mr Thanton's not finished with him yet.

>And so they started about hoisting up the kegs over their bountifully muscled shoulders while Ramiel pulled himself back to his feet and the crowd remained hushed. His placid expression having morphed into a frown, Ram stared at them as they lifted and chuckled to themselves.

>He didn't like leaving a job unfinished.

...Yes. This is why I stay. This is why I build. How do you not understand yet?

"I do not understand because it does not make sense, brother," replied the Promethean, trying with all of his considerable might to keep the frustration he felt from creeping into his voice; the impotent despair he felt at not being able to help Dorn in any meaningful way. "Curze was scornful to our very way of life, as was Perturabo, Rogal. They raged and sulked and sneered at how they did not receive all of Father's attention; they spent all of their energy on pursuing their petty vengeance and not the great work set before us, the effort to consolidate the Alliance's territory and keep the orcs from driving all of humanity in the Eastern Kingdoms extinct!"

He let out a short laugh, utterly bereft of humor, even at the memory of the sheer absurdity of their actions; how in the middle of one of the greatest wars their kingdom had ever known, their brothers had effectively thrown a temper tantrum. In the meantime, a voice spoke that only one man could hear.

A voice that had been speaking to that man for a very long time now.

"And yet you understand how Vulkan never could where that rage came from," said someone from behind Rogal that wasn't there at all. The real Perturabo was far away, behind the parapets of the Lich King's palace, fortifying them at that very moment and completely ignorant to the conversation taking place in the wastes of Kaprika. That did not mean the conviction in the bile of his gravelly voice felt any less potent. "Your sons built wonders, and mine died in the mud and the trenches of our father's great crusade against the greenskins. You know why you feel the shame you do: it is because you knew how easily our places could have been reversed, and yet you said nothing. And yet you said nothing. Even when we marched north underneath the banners of Lupercal, you could not bring yourself to do what was necessary. And now, after Stormwind's teeth are blunted and her blades are dulled, you sit in exile- no, not in exile. You hide. You cannot bear the shame of the utter magnitude of your cowardice. You cannot bring yourself to face the sheer scope of your failure, and so you hide behind your walls and hope that time will somehow lessen it, brother."

Ahem. Erubetie is an ancient and powerful Lilithval, and goddess of the Slimes. A deity of self sufficiency, endurance, and adaptability! Both Slime and men come in all forms and ability, forever changing along with the world to survive and prosper! To worship her is to accept her guiding hand and learn to survive and adapt as the slimes do; to change when necessary, and endure when one must!

She is also a bastion against the chaos as all Lilithval are! Taking the wretched energies of the evil gods, their daemons, and their worshippers unto herself to spare us and the world at large it's harmful influence!

And, finally, the most important aspect of her of all... She is the goddess of slimes. And slimes are adorable!

>so she knelt down beside the man’s head and roughly slapped a palm on his increasingly pale forehead, exhaling slow and steady as a faint golden glow appeared around the man’s upper body. the worst of his wounds started to knit themselves shut and a slight bit of color started to return to his unconscious face.
>truth be told, Aurisa kind of half-assed the healing. most of the wounds were closed, enough to ensure that he would survive; but enough damage was left to give him a lot to think about. such as how much pain he would be in once he woke up.

>with that out of the way, she stood back up and looked back to the two-on-one her partner was stuck in. that just wouldn’t do. Aurisa picked whichever thug seemed to still be the healthiest, stared them down with a frenzied look in her eye and a face covered in blood
>and screamed and hurled herself straight at them for another round of violent apelike mauling.

If I had something to write on I'd give it to you.

>she said,paying no mind to being used as a riding animal. The was big and strong, carrying someone or something was simple.

Would that work for you? I'd hate for you to go silent this whole time, haha!

>Perturabo was not there, he knew this. He could not be there. He was in Northrend, as he had been for some time now. Would Rogal even recognize him when they met once more? Did Perturabo recognize himself, for that matter? But the presence felt as real as anything behind him, and the words cut deeper than any blade ever had.

Perturabo... Was more than a petulant child. He was relegated, treated as lesser. By me. And there is more to what happened with Kurze than you know, Vulkan. It is not mine to tell, but it is mine to live with.

>He dared not react to the words of Perturabo in his ear. Vulkan would take it poorly. Vulkan always took suffering poorly, especially that of his family. Even the famously socially inept Dorn knew that, and knew it well.

Do you know why I chose this place, Vulkan?

>The burly head thug had absolutely no idea the nasty bitey horror that had been awaiting him. So that's why he found himself getting chunks systematically wrung out of his neck by the mouthful of machetes that Aurisa had in place of teeth, flailing, screaming and crying out in pain and terror until blood loss took him into the realm of the unconsciousness, thankfully for him.

>The only movement he made after Aurisa healed the vast majority of the damage was a pained groan and then down he went again. He'd live. Probably.

>Ram's two on one hadn't improved, but it also hadn't really seemed to have gotten worse. Ram was managing to move around the violent storm of plank swings that he'd been assaulted with but he still wasn't fighting back. This was because right now, he was embroiled in the eternal great shame of any strong man.

>How upset his mother would be that he'd gotten in a fight.

>She'd always told him that he weren't allowed to rough-house with the other boys around the village in case he hurt somebody, not an unfair accusation given that underneath the odd looking clothing was a body forged from years upon years of tending to farm land. Lifting, ploughing, mucking out, it had all forged Ramiel's body into an ungodly force of muscle that could practically punch holes in wood, as he'd demonstrated on his landing.

>Which meant that while he was attempting to not get hurt by the thugs he was still wondering whether it would be okay to hit them now and how much trouble he was in for clocking that first guy, even if he was being a bully. Thankfully for Ram's thought processes, his companion had seen fit to resolve the matter for him.

>In a flash, one of the thugs was being clawed, bitten and mauled by the little ball of elfy violence while his cohort stared agog, the unfortunate victim staggering around like the giver of the world's worst piggyback ride. Fortunately the second thug was at least smart enough to realise when to fold his cards as he dropped his plank of wood and staggered away from the scene of the crime in a panicked rush, knocking over another one of the kegs in the process.

>The remaining victim fell like a tree in a wood with nobody around to hear it, which meant that the answer to the age old question was finally discovered. And the sound went something like "AAUUUUGGHHHHHHH"

>All the same, he had collapsed from the multiple stab and bite wounds, same as the burly sailor had before. The remains of the carnage were one heavily injured thug, one unconscious sailor, two broken kegs and a somewhat battered looking Ramiel.

>Go team.

>They wished to make copies of her texts! No one ever wanted to do that!

Oh no! Copying my texts is completely fine! Make as many as you'd like!

>Noel fished the texts out of her pack, well more a loose collection of papers with countless different authors, but was most certainly religious texts. But she handed them over with glee.

Copies are really the only way this text has survived, even then it's far from complete... Though one day I hope to find one of the original books that contains everything!

>Soon, the next stop was in sight. A small town that the minotaur frequently visited, as a matter of fact, she practically considered it her home away from home.

Haha! Here we are! They're nice here, don't worry.

>as the pair would enter the town, there were a few traits noticeable at a first glance.
>for one, the small village looked like it had seen better days. Dirt roads, rural houses, the townsfolk themselves clad in old looking clothing.
>a village stricken by poverty?

>Tesya waved to the occasional villager, standing out as the only minotaur in town, and one of the frequently visiting outsiders.

>Lowering herself down, her shoe less feet touched the dirt road before she knelt down and placed a hand on it. Scooping some up into her hand, she rose back up and stared at it as if asking the dirt a question.

>In all honesty, the mushroom was expecting a tome or scrolls. But, who was she to judge what her texts came in; after all, even her own teachings started as scribbles on a wall.

>taking the texts, Amanita passed the papers on to the small mushroom creatures, who started to carry it off.They certainly looked like hard workers, especially for fungus.

>now, motioning her arm across the Grove, Amanita nodded

Very well. You are welcomed in the Grove, even after our business is finished. We suppose we are done here, no? Unless you have desires to join the collected mind?
