Gelian City
Gelian City
There is a city, invisible to the world, revealing itself after centuries of secrecy and whispers.

“Come on!” Eryx laughed as he ran through the streets after Conall, hot on his heels. He ducked down an alley, after his fshort friend and saw him clambering onto the roof, he climbed after him. They skidded down the roof and into the streets again until Conall turned to the left and ran into Abraxis, Eryx only realizing after he ran into Conall’s back.
“You need to be careful, I may not catch you if you fall.” he chuckled.
Eryx stepped back and rubbed his nose, as he hit it on the back of his friend’s head. “Today’s the last day before we open our wards, let me have some fun before I’m whisked away!” He laughs merrily.
The three friends smile, unknowing that opening the ancient city’s borders will bring more trouble than they could ever imagine.

Heya guys, though kyngdom needed a bit of a pick-me-up so I decided to post this story that’s been floating around my brain for a bit. I’ll see you around!

Gamgi~~
Gamgi crept almost silently through the forest undergrowth, sneaking towards the group of three soldiers. The soldiers wore the dark colored uniforma of Catastrophe. They sat around their campfire, laughing and totally unaware that there was a Sanukan about to assassinate them.
She lifted her gun and fired one, two, three times. One, two, three soldiers fell to the ground, now dead.
Gamgi stood and holstered her gun. She stepped into the clearing, and stomped out the campfire. She was kind enough to cover the soldiers with some leaves and twigs.
She continued through the woods. The woods cleared to reveal an old, stone city. The gates were opening, and by the horrible creaking sound they made, it was easy to guess that the gates probably hadn't been opened in over a century.
Gamgi stepped up to the gates. 'What in Ecio's claws is this place?' She thought.
A guard called out to her. She lifted her head and looked them in the eye. "I am Major Gamgi Kholodno of Sanukaville," She called out. "I am not here to attack you."
The guard looked at a man shorter than him. They discussed something quickly, and then the guard turned back to Gamgi.
However, to Gamgi's surprise,it was the shorter man who spoke. "I'm Lord Eryx Wevern. Welcome to Gelian, Major Gamgi."

Eryx clambered down the steps from the wall to meet the giant woman in front of the gates, Conall sliding down the banister beside him and Abraxis following close behind. When they reached the bottom Eryx walked to Major Gamgi but stopped ten feet before her. His grin spread across his face as he opened his arms and said "Welcome to Gelian, the vanished city. I am it's Lord, as I said previously."
Conall approached to his left and offered a small smile, when he was elbowed jokingly by Eryx he laughed and smiled brightly, "My name is Conall Songbird, mage and bard of Gelian." He motioned to Abraxis who was frowning slightly at the newcomer and said "this grumpyface is Abraxis, faesworn of Gelian."
Conall said "I'm very happy taht you're here, honestly we thought it would take a while for word to spread," he chuckled "you're actually the first outsider to come to the city in a while-"
At this he was again elbowed by Eryx in a joking manner "You say eight thousand yearsis a little while? How old are you again?" before Conall could reply Eryx interupted again "Anyway, are we just going to stand here all day, let's go inside shall we?" He smiled at Gelian and motioned for her to follow him and his companions inside.
~~~
Anyone can join this, they will be greeted by a few guards and escorted to the town square, alebait with much scrutiny from magic and nonmagic guards to be sure that they are not in danger.

Beacon~
"But I wanna see who's performing at the Bog and Burrow!" Finni whines. I roll my eyes, and she stamps on the grass with her hoof, having a perfect fit.
"Finni. We go to the Bog and Burrow so often that Wigbig the rabbit knows more about us than he knows about the war. We're not goin there tonight," I reply firmly. "Honestly, Finni, you should be more responsible."
Finni huffs, pouting childishly. Suddenly, both of our heads perk up, our noses in the air, searching or something...
"Something's off," Finni says, "You feel it too?"
I nod, eyes narrowed, and follow Infinity as she strikes out, heading for the unknown. We rarely visit this part of Kyngdom, so we don't know the terrain as well, or the inhabitants. High city walls come into view between towering trees. A burst of exitement spurs Finni forward, and she speeds up, eager to see something new. I hesitate for a second, then go to join her, cringing at how much noise we make on the forest floor.
"Finni, slow down!" I pant. She looks back at me, laughter twinkling in her liquidy black eyes, as if to say, "come and catch me!". She turns back and runs for the entrance. I blink.
"Why do I have to be stuck with such a childish older sister?" I mutter before galloping after her. I stop, out of breath, by her side, a few yards away from a great city wall and pair of oaken doors. My jaw drops, and so does Finni's- a gigantic woman is speaking to three young men. The one with black hair and striking blue eyes laughs good-naturedly, elbowing a short man, saying, "You think eight hundred years is a little while? How old are you anyways?"
The short one opens his mouth to answer, but is cut off by the first man. "Are we going to stay outside all day? Let's go in, shall we?"
"Wait!" shouts Finni. I swing my head to stare at her and frantically shake my head, but she doesn't see me. "What is this city? Who are you?" I internally groan. Way to go, Fin.
"The better question is," says the third man, a muscular brown-haired man, "Who are you?"

Hi DK! I'd like to join. My charries Finni and Beacon will come soon.
(May 23, 2019 - 8:58 pm)
:D Hi Soren!

Eryx~
Abraxis gares pointedly at the two creatures before us, the one who spoke now looks at me expectantly, waitig for an answer.
"This is the lost city of Gilian and I am it's lord, Lord Eryx Wevern. These are my friends Conall and Abraxis" I mention to each of my friends in question and smile warmly at them, "we were about to show Major Gamgi inside, would you like to come?"
~~~
Sorry that this is so short, I couldn't find Infinity and Beacon's character sheets so I don't know exactly what or who they are.
(May 28, 2019 - 12:43 pm)
No problem! They're both deer and their sheets are on either the second or third to last page.
(May 29, 2019 - 11:45 am)
I found them, thanks!

Infinity~
"Would you like to come?" asks the man who introduced himself as Eryx. I open my mouth, ready to reply, but Beacon kicks my front leg.
"Thank you, we'll... talk it over." he becons me over near the trees.
"B., what's to worry about? You're the one who told me to get away from the Bog and Burrow!" I remind him. He sighs, annoyed with me.
"They could be spies for Catastrophe, Finni, think! It would be so easy for them to trick us into spilling all of FAFA's secrets to them!" he hisses.
"Is everything about the war now?" I grumble. "Can't we just accept his offer and never once worry where they stand compared to us?"
"I'm afraid we can't," B. says, a hint of regret in his voice.
"I'm afraid that you're too nervous about everything! Come on, Beacon, we can leave whenever you want, let's just give it a try!"
He looks me in the eyes, opens his mouth, then closes it, and looks around, as though seaching for a good arguement. It appears he doesn't find one, though, because he shakes his head then becons for me to come. I smile and bounce after him.
"Well, Eryx, we've decided to visit," Beacon says. Eryx smiles.
"Excellent. May I ask your names?"
"I'm Infinity, call me Finni, and this party-pooper over here is my little brother Beacon," I say confidently.
"Party-pooper?" asks Beacon, mortified. Eryx laughs.
"Follow me, Finni and Beacon The Party-Pooper!"

Gamgi ~~
The deer walk back over. One has a bit of a bounce to her step as she walks.
"Well, Eryx, we've decided to visit," The calmer, more mature looking one says.
" Excellent. May I ask your names ? " Eryx asks with a smile.
"I'm Infinity, call me Finni, and this party-pooper over here is my little brother Beacon," One deer says.
"Party pooper?" The other deer, Beacon, says. He sounds absolutely horrified. It is, admittedly, a little entertaining. Evidently Eryx agrees, because he laughs, as does Conall.
"Follow me, Finni and Beacon the Party-Pooper!"
We follow the trio of men inside the large wooden gates. I hope they don't ask for us to turn over our weapons, because that would be quite a show. And I don't want to have to explain two loaded pistols, two katanas(which are already very visible on my back), and a dagger.
They take us to the town square. There's a surprising amount of people. There's also something strange about this town. Some of the paintings and such are similar to Sanukan paintings --which means that this town is at least eight thousand years old.

Conall~
It’s so strange seeing others in the city, while the newcomers are walking around Eryx slides over to me and whispers under his breath “The large woman’s looking at the art, go impress the her you nerd.”
I open my mouth to protest but he’s already gone. Instead of following Abraxis I walk to the large woman. “Nice artwork huh? One of my favorite parts of living here, the art never gets old no matter how often you see it.”
She looks at me, scrutinizing my every movement before saying “How long have you lived here.”
“Uh- all of my life.” I say, the calm attitude I had moments before giving way to nervousness.
She pauses for a long moment before walking back to the group, leaving me in front of the art store, I quickly tip the artist before running after the group.
