Snippet #1820394

Kries ran from his house and back toward the center of town. He had to get to the center and try to help as many people as he could. Although that was easier said than done. He couldn't be everywhere at once. And he had to organize these people. How should he do that? Well, right now was not the time to think about it. He had to get to the center of town first and work his way from...

His thoughts cut off abruptly as he rounded an upcoming corner and came face to face with a pair of blades raised to kill. Kries staggered back a step before he recognised the face. It was one of the otehrs. One of the other ones that had been summoned by the elders. Kries let out a huge breath as the blades fell to his shoulders. "That would have been terrible" Kries heard Yuri say. "No kidding", thought Kries in response. But he said nothing as he let out the breath of air he didn't realize he had taken.

Yuri talked fast, obviously in a rush, and spat out the information on the situation. The microphone! Yes, that would make sense. Kries had worked on the speakers and knew basically how the microphone should work. But the rest of what Yuri said was troubling. The seekers were after them? Did this have anything to do with why the elders had called them? Or more to a fact, the pyreflies? Did the seekers have instructions to hunt pyreflies or mass quantities of them? And why would that be..?

Kries shook his head to stop his analysis. No time. So the plan was obvious it seemed. get the villagers to the mages guild then get to this... airship!? When had there ever been an airship here? He knew they existed and all, but he had never seen one around the safe zone, well, not that they had any reason to LEAVE the safe zone. But they didn't have any choice but to trust this information right now. If they had the mobility of an airship, they could get a respite from the seekers.

Kries nodded to Yuri and ran off with him in the direction of the hall with the microphone.

Soon the pair entered the room, not much worse for the wear. Well, Kries was at least, he couldn't really tell about Yuri. The man fought like he was posessed, and Kries quickly understood why the man was scarred. Kries panted slightly as he ran up to the microphone, hoping Yuri would take it easy for a bit. He looked down at the bord and began punching buttons for the machina. then he took a deep breath.

"Attention everyone. Report to the Mages guild to hold out there. There are other people there and you will be safe. Bring your weapons and discard anything that will slow you down. Speed is of priority."

Kries punched a few more buttons and the message began to loop on itself. Wasn't exactly professional, but it got the message across. Safety was at the Mage's guild and bring the weapons. And most importantly, speed was of the essence. Kries walked back over to Yuri. "So... now is the part where we get out of here?"
