Intro: WELCOME TO ESTOPOLIS! Theme of Estopolis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loa3uUH9Ea8 (town theme from Lufia and the fortress of Doom)
The town of Estopolis, established 168 S.C.E its the capital of Zevir and the place with the most diversity of creatures, elves, dragons, humans, orcs, and so on. Because here is the last safe haven of the free peoples of Zevir protected by the Queen Kisonage and her well trained army. Yet every day Darkness tries to seep into the city. But the guard always destroys it. Soon though, it will be the staging grounds for war...
-- End intro
Sky Minato
"well we're here..." Sky mumbled as he walked into the gate causing a gentle breeze to flow across the town, he placed his hands behind his head and sort of leaned back a little, 'well... I best get to work...' he thought as he gusted wind towards his feet and soon used it to propel him into the air where he landed on the rooftop and soon onto a tower, he soon looked out, "wow. Thats beautiful" he said as a guard told him to get down, "oh! Uh sorry!" he said as he dropped down softening the fall with wind, which confused the guard about that and soon Sky held his hand out, "I'm SKy Minato, nice to meet ya!" he said smiling, it confused the guard whom just shook Sky's hand. In which Sky nodded and ran off to find the others.
{Here we Gooo!!!!}
Aris patted Jak on the shoulder, "The business has picked up in the city because of the activity of the monsters and the darkness, but you are right my boy the forge is running a bit dry its nearing the end of the seven years. Care to enchant it again Jak? I'll pay you this time." Aris said removing his hand from Jak's shoulder and looking into the smoldering flames his gaze focused but blank. "No problem pa and no don't pay me," With a quick incantation and a few drips of his blood and the flames came to life again little flamelings danced around the inside of the forge. "Feed them dragons teeth once every 10 years, it should stay on forever. The flame will naturally rest when not in use and will come back to life on your command, repair this and we'll call it even pa." Jak said placing the fragments of the broken blade into the forge, nodding and sitting outside reading a book on enchanting.
"Estopolis..." Angela Mesi huffed. She had just arrived at the top of the steep hill, and took a gander of what looked to be one of the last peaceful lands of the entire world. But when the gentle wind blew on her exposed skin, and the wet soil squishing beneath her Sabatons, she felt at home again. But that was where she had traveled from, and where she wouldn't return until a great battle is won... She took one last deep breath and huffed it before continuing to the city known as "Estopolis.."
Angela, not far off from the busy streets of the town, sat on a small curb to drink water out of a canteen. Just a small break, she though to herself... "Miss...?" Came the voice of a small elfin girl, holding a stuffed dragon-like doll. Angela looked a little surprised to see someone aproach her at first, but her expression softened and held a gentle smile once she realized it was only a child. "Yes, young one?" Angela replied, turning the cap back onto her canteen, and resting it to her side. She gave her full attention to the child now. "You're sitting on my polly.." The girl replied slowly and quietly, pointing down to the curb where Angela was sitting. "Oh.. I apologize.." Angela blinked and quickly sat up, allowing the little girl to retrieve her toy. The little girl rushed to get her stuffed doll back, thanked Angela and ran back off to play with her friends. Angela smiled again to the girl, put her canteen back onto her belt and continued her walk to the market district.
In the present, Angela found herself in the market district, looking for a new canteen to hold her water. She supposed she had plenty of time until the other Genesis arrived, so she went to go look around. Angela could now be found at a small outdoor store, looking at the merchandise set out by the man. But Angela shook her head and stood back up saying "Sir, these canteens would easily break with a single strike. I need something to withstand a full battle." But the seller just closed his eyes and shook his head slowly. "Good day then.." Angela sighed, turning back into the crowed of people. She took the last gulp of water left in her canteen, and cursed under her breath.
The Sun was high in the sky when Circe ventured outside of her rented room for the first time that day. she made her way down the busy road, taking in all that was around her. She looked in some of the shop windows, but did not go inside, for she had decided that in this new life, she would get only what she needed, and right now, she needed a cup of tea.
She stopped at a small shop with several tables out on the roadside. She ordered her tea and went to sit down and watch all of the people go by about their business when she felt a light breeze. It didn't feel normal to her. Just a second ago, the air was still, and now there was a breeze? Impossible. Unless...
Circe gave a half smile and concentrated her energy on the sky. Creating a lightning bolt above her head, she gave a contented sigh, soon this darkness would be gone. She just had to wait, and then her counterparts would get together. Hopefully, her signal would attract some of them to her. Circe leaned back in her chair and called for the waiter to bring her another cup...things were about to get interesting.
He flew a brief distance before stopping near the tea shop crashing out of the sky again shooting flames from his palm to keep him from impacting the ground with a hard force. Rolling as he got low enough quickly springing to his feet and dusting his the dirt off of his armor. Darting his eyes around the area looking for the source of the lightning, "OK who did it," Jak said sarcastically looking to Circe.
Early that day a trader had set up shop with some art that had been collected on travels. And now Blake stood browsing the wares. A look of Delight came upon the traders face. " This is not Art... rather cheap imitations Unless you have anything better i say good day" the voice was deep. Edge with a harsher meaning but was planned to get a deal of some sort. It worked extremely well ' I can offer you more sir'. came the reply from the frail old art trader " Good.... you may stop by my place later so we can discuss a deal" Blake said with a wicked grin crossing his face.
Turning his gaze to the lightning in the sky he arched a brow slightly. Had that time arrived?. The others were here but such obvious use of powers for something so simply as to attract attention of the others seemed rather excess in his opinion. Keeping his gaze turned he pondered for a moment. He had no need to head over there yet. Still plenty of time left during the day. And more importantly he had things to do. So he turned away and continued to browse the art. The market place could hold some fine trinkets. The midday sun did make him seem lethargic he still wished to browse.
Circe waited for someone, anyone, to come to her, for she knew that someone would, since the tea shop that she was sitting at was in the center of town. Then, someone came hurtling down from the sky and shot flames out of their hands to decrease the impact of their landing. Several people panicked and ran away while others stood, shocked at the sudden arrival of the man. Circe sat, perfectly calm, still drinking her tea.
"OK who did it," Jak said sarcastically looking at Circe.
Circe smiled innocently into her teacup. She looked up and acknowledged the man that stood several feet away from her with a nod. She stood up slowly, retrieving some money from her purse and set the money down at the table. She waved at her waiter as if to say 'thank you.' Circe walked towards the man and held out her hand.
"Excuse me sir, but you seem to be causing quite a commotion, might we speak somewhere quieter." She smiled at the man expectantly.
Isaac walked slowly, with his hands on his back, his right one holding his left one loosely. People stopped to stare at the man with the strange bird like mask. Isaac, as always, ignored them and just kept walking. His next patient lived somewhere close to the market, which facilitated things. There were't many houses close to the market. As he was walking he noticed a lighting bolt close to his general direction. He stopped and thought about this for a moment. It was obvious to him what a random lighting on the middle of the day meant, however he decided to wait a few moments. Just as he thought, moments later a figure appeared from the sky and descended, using fire to glide and stop his descent. Isaac consider going to where the other genesis where soon to be located, but then decided against it, he still had one more patient. He continued walking the way he was moments before, ignoring yet again the people staring at him.
The man she had her eyes on looked hardly anything of the people surrounding him. And with comparison, looked almost devilish. With that dark armor covering nearly every spot of his body, and just how he was acting was giving Angela the chills. She couldn't see many other details of him from how far away she was standing, but now she was certain that he had to be a Genesis... But the only way she could know is if it was proven somehow. And that's what she was going to ask for. Proof.
Angela began making her way through the crowd, not taking her eyes off the suspicious man. He didn't seem to be going anywhere in a hurry, which would make this meeting more convenient. But when she finally got close enough to speak, she froze. She couldn't bring herself to say hi. Something inside her was telling her no, don't do it. It's a terrible idea. At least the man was facing the other way, so he wouldn't see how frightened she was. But when Angela finally gathered up enough courage to hid her fear behind a mask of calmness, she tapped the man on his back. She backed an inch and held her hands together. "Excuse me, sir.."
With Circe's hand gently within his Jak looked over to Sky, who he assumed to be the Wind Genesis from how he descended from the sky. Chuckling at the nickname that Sky gave him Jak promptly replied "Sir Rocket-Hands to you, no but the name is Jak Fira. Yes I know named after the magic spell, and this beautiful young lady... hm what is your name if it isn't rude for me to ask" Jak spoke trying to lighten the mood of the situation, making everything smooth over nicely among these new faces. He was good with people always loud and about making the best out of nothing.
Running his hand through his brown hair Jak stood tall looking over to Sky "She's invited me somewhere more tranquil to speak, care to join me my good sir," Jak said extending the invitation to Sky as well. For a split second Jak thought about what he was really getting into, he was about to waltz off with two people he had never met before but deep inside he knew it would be the right choice to make and the right path to walk down. He would have to keep in mind to not forget about his blade as he with his possible ally's.
As he walked down a busy street, people greeted him with kindness as well as caution. Children squealed with delight and ran around him, some giggling others staring wide eyed. "Are you a giant?" A little eleven girl asked, face looking up at the mountain of a man. In his culture he was still a boy though. Derek looked down at her and smiled warmly, he knelt and looked at her face. "Don't know, maybe my great grandfather was. Would be interesting though." He winked and pulled out some fruit from his huge pack and gave it out to the children. They smiled, thanked him and ran off. Derek got up and brushed himself off, picked up his bag and continued down the busiest street. As he continued to wander about carefree, oblivious to everything around him, he heard a commotion up ahead. "Get out of the way!! The bulls loose!!" Sure enough, a huge black bull came barreling down the street. People ran to the sides, parting to make a path for the charging animal. Derek blinked ahead at the stampeding animal and dropped his bag. He moved one of his feet back and lowered his stance with his hands in front palms out. Right when the bull was close to gore him, Derek grabbed the horns. He didn't move so much as an inch as he flung the startled creature to the side with little to no effort, subduing it. He clapped his hands together and Picked his bag back up. Then went back to wandering down the street. Onlookers jaws dropped at both the sight and how casual the boy seemed about the entire ordeal. Derek smiled and began whistling once again. Today's going to be a good day.
"Whatever you want, my lady," Jak said giving a formal bow draping his arm over his midsection and bowing his body down while looking up at Circe gently grasping her hand as he stood back up straight.
Circe blushed a bit at his formality, but she had no time to mull over it because another person was floating down from the sky now, calling the other man 'Sir Rocket Hands.' Circe smiled.
"Sir Rocket-Hands to you, no but the name is Jak Fira. Yes I know named after the magic spell, and this beautiful young lady... hm what is your name if it isn't rude for me to ask?"
Circe smiled at Jak and the other man. "Bonjour monsieurs, my name is Circe Hammond," she said politely. "Shall we go then?" Taking no heed to the fact that these two men were total and complete strangers. Besides, hadn't she run away from home for a little adventure?
Feeling something tap his back. He arched a brow. " By what excuse are my thoughts interrupted" he said a slight hint of annoyance to his voice as he turned to face this maiden. It seemed like such an innocent creature stood before him. Which stood in stark comparison to himself. " Of course if you seek Business with me... i shall listen and prioritize its importance with everything else i must accomplish today" it was matter of fact. but was not too harsh. It would hopefully encourage the maiden to be direct, and ward of anything that was not of importance.
Gesturing an arm to his side, he turned off slightly. " Unless your request insists on a location or us being still.... lets discuss this as we walk."
As he reached the origin of the lighting, he saw a group consisting of three people. Nothing special about them, except that everyone was looking at them as if they might explode at any moment. Isaac walked to them slowly, with his hands on his back. When he got close to them and said "You must be the cause of all this commotion I presume. As well as the lighting and fire display."
"Unless your request insists on a location of us being still, Let's discuss this as we walk." "Agreed." Angela stated at once, too quickly said to sound respectful. She didn't mean for it to sound disrespecting, in fact that was the last thing she needed. But by now the time to fix that had passed. As the walk began, Angela kept a steady pace and kept her arms to her side. The small silence began to grow into a discomforting environment, so Angela began to pick her next words quickly. "My name is Angela Mesi" Introducing herself seemed appropriate. Angela took the ribbon out of her hair, and brushed down her hair quickly." And I am the Genesis of Water." Angela looked up to him, expecting a change in expression or mode. After all, that wasn't something anyone could say. "I'm not exactly looking for any business or serveries, sir. But... if you could help me find the others, I would be ever so grateful."
Jak's eyes darted over his shoulder and upon a strange doctor looking man, a pointed mask covering his face hiding his facial features. The rest of his outfit looked that of a average doctor, but he could tell that his man was something much more different he had to be a genesis. The power that was emitted by Sky and Circe was also expelled by this man, turning to give Isaac his full attention Jak began to speak "Such a beautiful display right? But yes we are the cause of this outbreak of fear, I rather not shake up the towns people but I need to get here quick. I'm Jak, the beautiful lady to my right is Circe and he's Sky, care to join us Circe is something to talk about."
He attempted to be well spoken and diplomatic when talking to strangers, well he was about to go adventuring with the two he had already found. Where could the other genesis be located hopefully they would gather around soon, whatever Circe had to speak to them about must be important
The request to find the others soon followed what he now reflected on a splendid introduction. The hair was a nice touch, and possibly swayed his mind to be slightly more helpful then he originally planned. Raising one of his gloved hands he gestured over in the direction to where the lightning was earlier. " Some of the others you seek will be in that area... I can accompany you in the search for i too wish to know more about things. More so upon the individuals whom you seek...... of course i can assume they wish the same about you" he said. Up to this point he had Kept his Genesis status rather well hidden. Of course he guessed that Angela suspected but he made no attempt to dispel or reinforce this assumption
The people around the group of three were starting to settle down.
"You must be the cause of all this commotion I presume. As well as the lighting and fire display." A man in a strange bird mask said, Circe figured that he must know what was going on. As Jak introduced them to the man, she thought about what she would say. Of course they would have to find the others... maybe they were already here. And they would have to stay together for now,maybe they could rent a flat. She figured that the best idea was to just start talking.
There was four of them now, all introduced, Circe, Jak, Isaac, and Sky. Circe smiled at the four and rubbed her hands together.
"Let's walk, shall we?" She said, moving out into the street. "As you probably have figured out... I am the Lightning Genisis, I think that we should stick together, seeing as we all have something in common."
But at least he knew where the others might be, and Angela was grateful for that. Angela let a gentle smile creep up on her lips as she nodded to him. "Thank you for sharing that with me, now... let's find them." said Angela and began marching towards the direction he pointed. Now, she could only hope that he was telling the truth, and that he wasn't planning to kill her and the others. But before Angela could get very far, she remembered something very important to ask him. She stopped suddenly and turned back to him. "Ah, but... Before we go, could I ask something? What's... What's you name?"
