Snippet #1787863

Elei'mei spaced out while the bickering began, letting their noise turn into a soft hum of nothing. She began to count in her mind while the group of humans scrambled to stay united. One.. two.. three.... the counting continued. What was she counting? The number of times she could have destroyed this castle and visited Eshara while everyone else was arguing. Of course she wasn't planning on it, but who knows. It just might be the push to get the ball rolling, and get them to realize they didn't have much time left before their planet was to die. Elei just didn't know how to express that to them in a manner they would understand, and destroying what they viewed as home would force them to get over it and leave, right? It was a slightly excessive thought, and she had nearly convinced herself to follow through with it. The idea of having a 'home' was such an ancient concept to Elei at this point that she forgot the emotional attachment that most creatures attached to a particular place. It seemed the cluster of humans before her had such an attachment and Elei was fighting the urge to bypass it anyway. But alas, she continued to keep to herself. She had managed to move herself to the outside of their circle in this hall. Her staff was still against the wall about 3 yards away. It had a faint glow, just as her eyes were at this moment. The light that made up the wings on her back faded into thin air, leaving Elei to look as tiny as ever compared to everyone else in the room, even with her standing on her tiptoes. Did it really have to be her against them? She wanted them to accept her just as much as they wanted to find answers. Being of different species and culture was at the root of the mistrust.

At this point the the Kaine creature returned from his teleportation venture, Falwich snapped and their leader Vance exited the space in what appeared to be frustration. The only person who seemed to have a steady head on their shoulders was Kiera, the woman who claimed to believe Elei'mei and her backstory. The Gabbe girl began to butt heads with the mind reader. The same mind reader that refused to delve into Elei's mind, claiming he couldn't believe her thoughts just as much as her words. Elei never liked people in her mind anyway but it did make the Aduro feel offended by his attitude. Once again she didn't get why she would purposefully mislead them but to each their own.

"Maybe you could explain the location of Eshara, while I rest, give me a mental picture...." Kaine suggested as he was assisted to a chair.

"Eshara? As if any of you all would believe me. As far as I see it, it doesn't seem you humans would believe what was standing directly in front of you, let alone the description of a planet galaxies away. But, it seems I have no choice but to tell you more about the planet," Elei said, ending in a sigh as she stayed at her post amongst the outskirts of the group. Her accent waved in and out, at moments harder to understand than the next.

"It is very similar to the atmosphere of your planet, but of course much healthier. Truly it would be the ideal place for each of you to survive. Getting a mental image of the place won't allow you to jump there though, it isn't that simple. To visit there you will need a link to a guide such as myself. If the link were to break you'd find yourself in space or worse. That wouldn't be a problem for me but I don't believe you all could survive without oxygen. Correct? So if you all are planning on getting out of here before your planet crumbles then you all would have to start practicing your links now with me, and that would require, dare I say, trust. Oh, and the rest of you will need to figure out how to teleport as your member Kaine has. Basically, you have a lot to handle in little time," she ended, a smile on her face as she tilted her head to the side. It was more of a childish grin directed towards Falwich, a counter against his sarcasm and the fact that he would be the hardest to build a link with. He had to be willing, the simple truth.

So there Elei stood, while the other began to talk amongst themselves. The counting began again, her method of documenting the time being wasted on this planet. The desire for destruction was getting harder to ignore. Her head said no, but the magic in her said yes. She didn't want to upset them or scare them anymore than she already had but at the same time it would be so.. rejuvenating to release some pint up magic. If it weren't for this group she would have come and gone without a second thought. And despite how petty they seemed to be, she found them intriguing beyond belief. How could she leave these gifted humans behind knowing they could die without her help? She couldn't, and that was why she stayed. Others needed to see this special breed of humans besides her. It took all Elei could muster up to contain herself. Magic danced at her fingertips. Without being destructive Elei decided on a less harmful avenue: teleportation. Would it be as simple as monkey see, monkey do? If they watched her, maybe it would spark something within themselves. Without a second though Elei disappeared, reappearing behind Kaine. She touched his shoulder. Before Kaine or Gabbe had the chance to react, Elei disappeared again and reappeared next to the standing Falwich. She was hovering at a height that made her a foot taller than the man, looking down at him with her violet beaming eyes as her legs dangled below. Kaine was right about teleporting using a lot of energy, but Elei was old and had enough energy to sustain her for even the longest of journeys. She smirked at Falwich then disappeared again, now reappearing next to Kiera.

"If one of you take my hand, I can teleport you with me. Of course only a short distance," she offered, looking at Kiera and then the rest, wondering what each might be thinking. Elei was getting impatient and wanted to show them Eshara.
