Uri- Saving Lives Via War Evacuation

In this scene, is the orders given to Uri, to evacuate those from Osrona and not involved in the war, to a safe location. One that would keep everyone out of harms way, or at least, he'd try to. Making sure that no one like the drakanites out for blood would follow them out into the open sea. It was a challenge of a life time for the Captain, but with Odin, Elijah and all those aboard, he stood ready to protect everyone... Magi and Non Magi alike. He was ready to show the world how bright he'd shine and so he did.' He might've hated the King, his old childhood friend for his actions, but deep down inside, Uri held a duty to protect the innocent lives of all those around him. Always have, always will, even if he is as free as the wind, he shall protect, wherever he goes, as the Wandering Phoenix, Captain of the Soaring Phoenix Pirates, The Peoples Counciler of Osilot, and Conquerer of the Sea, and its freedoms.

[16:57] Alexander rei Petrakis says, "I will make an announcement."
[16:57] Alexander rei Petrakis says, "Everyone that is not participating in the battle, prepare to start departing for the ships or Aerendale."
18:33] Uri Sanctum says, "Alright..."
[18:33] Uri Sanctum says, "Just sitting here waiting won't help.."
[18:33] Uri Sanctum says, "They'll find their own way..."
[18:34] Uri Sanctum says, "All of you not fighting... Just follow me, Eli will know where to go."
[18:35] Rikka says, "here should you fight ...you need it more than rikka ... rikka will defend home with life if must"
[18:35] Uri Sanctum says, "Took you long enough.. Was about to leave Eli."
[18:35] Elijah Azar says, "Ah... Sorry... heheh..."
[18:36] Rikka says, "whoever is fighting here "
[18:43] Uri would have taken those not fighting in the war aboard his ship for the mass evacuation strategy. He knew that some might choose to stay, some might choose to do their own thing, whilst those who followed Uri aboard the Soaring Phoenix would see that it had much space, enough for everyone to be comfortable, after all... It was a vast voyager, much larger than most ships.

"Raise the anchor!" The Captain shouts to those of his crew. He did now know where the rest were, if they were fighting in the war or not, but he knew who was already involved. People like Skylar, Esbern and Astrid. "For we will need the skies to guide us once more," said Uri for the sails would be lowered just for this moment.

"Ten more minutes... That's enough time to gather anyone who hasn't found their way to the ship... If they choose to stay then, that's all on them... I'm not risking the lives of many over one idiot," said the Captain.

The non magi were hard at work, making sure that those guest of the ship would be supplied with water at the very least. God forbid if someone went thirsty during the months to come and tried to drink salt water.

"As for the lot of you... If any of you jump off early or rush out to get things last second, I will NOT wait for you... That fault will be your own, are we clear?"
(Uri Sanctum)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:46] Ten more minutes. Nothing more. Grey's thoughts flick to - who else? - Odin, causing an involuntary frown. They lean against one of the hold's walls, arms folding together over their chest. Eyes shut, deep in thought.

"...He's probably out on the front lines, like always. Where's - "

Aradia? They open their eyes, giving a quick scan around. Did they just miss her?
(Grey)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:47] And a ship started its movement. Jack really hopes to get back, but now he feels nervous. There is a kitchen nearby... "Okay, let's see what I got with me" Jack took the whole pack of various cooking ingredients.
(Jack Kelsey)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:48] Grey says, "...I don't have an appetite."
[18:48] Grey says, "Sorry."
[18:48] Jack Kelsey says, "Let it be there"
[18:49] Zefa is quite honestly not too certain of what to expect. She had an idea, yet it was still far from certain. The sage comfortably sat upon a crest. Whilst non- magis were working, she was merely sitting, thinking of where the flow of life is guiding her this time.

"Hm..."

She stood silent, words being the flow of a river of thoughts lost in the thickness of a forest.
(Zefa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:49] "Kind of a weird time for breakfast.. but okay."

Amongst the terror of waiting out the war, as well as the anxiety of what will happen to the village--

Pancakes.

You damn right Three was ganna snack on those pancakes, he hadn't eaten in hours, and this was free, so.
(Three)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:50] Jack Kelsey says, "No problem, enjoy"
[18:50] Jack Kelsey says, "It's free"
[18:50] Three thumbs up with his full cheeks of pancakes
(Three)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:51] Esther could be found deep within the living area's of the ships hull, huddled up and snacking on one of many packed sandwiches. Who could've known how long they'd be voyaging the seas for? Both her and Elijah took as many precautions as they could.
(Esther Aryn)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:56] With many non-magi tending to one another, the Captain would have his time, busy on the helm of ship, steering away as the sails would be pulling them away. Uri would have to navigate through the seas of Esshar, that would eventually lead them towards the open sea. He looks around for the rest of his crew, people like Elijah, the magi aboard that could help those on the Soaring Phoenix be more relaxed...

He'd look to the lands of Esshar, wondering if the battle had started yet. "Silent it is... And away we shall go, with the wind, upon the sea... Yeah, that's how it'll be."

He leaves the helm to one of his ship mates, for them to follow the course given to them as Non-Magi, "Make Sail towards the island of Los'tal, to get us out to the open sea."

His focus was on the battlefield from afar, using his binoculars to try and see what he could as they sailed away.
(Uri Sanctum)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:58] Jack feels really tired. Too much happened today. He walks to bed and falls asleep there
(Jack Kelsey)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:05] When Uri gave the word, Elijah stepped up. He knew their plans, and what to do. He took a look around, and nodded. Most people here were probably fighting in the war... And its just about a day away. He did as Uri told, and gathered up the non-magi. To the ship he lead them, then into the interior. Moving old boxes and things out of the way to make room. And after doing so, there was a LOT of room. He continued evacuating them.

The ship could hold. And people wouldn't dare board it, or set it on fire hopefully. He did as told, and took a seat on the floor and crossed his legs. Concentrating, he had to think. He had to become one with the earth, he had to go deep. It took about three minutes, but he was able to reach the ocean floors with his mana. Expending it at only a thin string, he could stretch it down there, and command the sands. The tectonic plates.

Slowly, sands began to shift. And make its way through the ocean depths. This would've been much, mucheasier if they had Thalis here, or... Someone who could use water magic. But here he was, controlling the ocean floor slowly, to get waves moving in any certain direction the Captain wanted him too. Though it expended a lot of mana, if he really concentrated he could keep this up.

A slight rock, but other than that it was smooth sailing. And this just proved another lesson to him that he could control anything. As long as he's smart enough to know how to do so. The earth grants all to those who seek it after all. Since he could manipulate the ships speed, he would let the non-magi take control of the steering. And get them to Los'tal. He would take a stand, and huff then take off his mask.

"Aye... Sire... Geeze... Should be smooth from here on out though... Any further orders Cap?"

Elijah looked around. Everyone seemed fine, plus they had a medic aboard. He just hoped Grey wasn't seasick.
(Elijah Azar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:09]
{LOAD GAME}

[19:13] Elijah Azar says, "Not sure where he'd be..."
[19:13] Grey says, "After what happened, I don't think he'd be on the front lines."
[19:13] Grey says, "Leading some other evacuation angle, I figure."
[19:14] Elijah Azar says, "Aye."
[19:16] Grey says, "...'ay. Captain."
[19:16] Grey asks, "Where're we landing?"
[19:16] Esther Aryn says, "Ely."
[19:16] Elijah Azar asks, "..Hm?"
[19:16] Esther Aryn asks, "What're we goin' ta do with all this stuff?"
[19:16] Elijah Azar says, "....Not too sure about that."
[19:17] Elijah Azar says, "Hopefully our house is still in peices! Then we can just... Put it back in there."
[19:19] Esther Aryn says, "This shucksh.."
[19:19] Uri looks to Grey for his question..

"Where are we landing? Well, I wouldn't worry about that... But it's a place that won't be so easily reached... That's all you need to know for now... Anything else, is useless information."

Uri thought about what he had told General Alya… Yeah, this was all part of the plan. To keep the innocents safe, free from the war. He was doing the right thing was he not? Osrona was bound to fall, and with him being a neutral party.. This should guarantee the safety of those aboard his ship, at the very least that is.

"Only thing you should worry about, is being well rested and ready to fight, in the events that someone happens to invade the ship."
(Uri Sanctum)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:30] The musician of the ship would begin to play his tunes, for it was a very long road up ahead. These were a large number of magi and non-magi aboard his ship. People of all cultures, here to aim for survival in what could be the largest war of their time. One that would determine who will live, who will die and those who will become slaves to the winning nations.

"I don't know what Asta is planning, but if I heard those from the coalition correctly... People not involved in the war should be fine, so long as they... Well... Not sure if anyone of us would trust the words of an enemy if it all came down to it..."

He sighs... The music continued to play.

"As I said before... If you jump off the ship, I will not turn around for you... I will NOT risk the lives of a hundred for one idiot who decided to swim home because they forgot their coin or whatever it is that'd drive you to swim a few miles of pure ocean back to shore..."

He returns his gaze to the compass of his..

"Nightfall is approaching... Elijah, you know how to navigate through the stars, no? You don't have to be a cosmic magi to do so..."
(Uri Sanctum)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:35] "...I know the constellations and their positioning. I can tell you which direction we're going."

The Prince knew how to read the stars almost better than how he knew how to read text. For most of it-- It was inherent. He was blessed by them, after all-- … But, it was also a very key point of his studies. Not navigation, per se-- but, to read the sky like a book, like a bible.

...He glances out over the water, out towards Osrona. While this was his idea -- While it was one Alexander agreed with --- Going with them, as the displaced people of Osrona will need someone to lead them …

… It makes him feel sick, knowing that so many fight for his bloodline in a place where he can't be.
(Odin ras Petrakis)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:40] Grey says, "...If anyone needs me, I'll be deeper in the ship - residential hold, whatever - aiding the wounded."
[19:42] Odin ras Petrakis says, "Grey-- ... I need to talk to you later."
[19:42] Grey says, "...Yes. Yes you do."
[19:43] After her lunch and binge drinking, Esther returns to the upper decks where the majority of the ship's populace inhabited. Spotting Elijah she'd quickly move to his side, wrapping both arms around his, nestling her head atop his shoulder.

"Hey.. Hope ya' got everythin'."

She sighed an ethanol ridden breath, glancing across the deck of refugees, managing to spot Odin a couple of steps away.

"Oh, it'sh tha' prince. Wha' happened ta tha' undercity? Wash tha' tosshed 'way when ya' found out who lived there?"
(Esther Aryn)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:45] "A lil'. Not too much though. I mostly rely on the earth to do that. Gives me all the directions I need."

The samurai looked to Odin, and nodded. That man could also help. Plus, reading the earth from above water would prove to be difficult. He would have to get pass all those meters of pure water, then go a bit deeper to get clear readings... All the while spending his mana at a high output. It was taking a lot just to help keep the ship moving at a good pace.

"Prince Odin also knows. Wouldn't hurt if he helped, right?"

He would say, and nod. Reading the stars should be a peace of cake for that guy. He didn't know his type of magic but, Odin did say that he knew the constellations well. And, Elijah knew a decent wealth of knowledge of the stars, but probably not more than Odin.

Elijah watched as Esther made her way on over and cuddled up with him. Of course he let it happen, plus he was tired. And he yawned. "Oh yeah, the undercity... That place is creepy."
(Elijah Azar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:52] Wandering about on the ship, listening to all of them from Odin, to Elijah and the others. Uri had to make sure that the Non-Magi were not too distressed by all this. Some, maybe sea sick, and the others, probably uncomfortable that they would have to sail with pirates... Little did many know, Uri and his crew, they were more kind than most... Fighting for the right reasons rather than simply following a code or orders from one who stood above them all...

On this ship, everyone, and I mean, everyone were equals. Which is why Uri asked them, if anyone knew how to utilize the stars for navigation just as he did. "Good! We'll need to do shift work... For three hours, one of you will navigate us on this course, and you shall rotate amongst each other, myself included."

He made his way from the deck, to the under grounds of the ship where the most room was, BACK up to the deck, TO the crows nest and finally, BACK DOWN to the helm... The Captain was a busy body, he had to be in this war. "For this evacuation, I'll do you all the favor, of tellin' y' where exactly it is that we'll go..."

Finally, he made his way to the center of the deck, where he could make this announcement to all those aboard the Soaring Phoenix... "We're setting course... For Los'tal!" Shouted the Captain for he knew that they'd have to make it out to the Ocean and its open waters if they wanted to avoid any major conflicts...

"Originally, I was going to take us to the eastern mountains, but, our only advantage there is the high ground which, we'll have a lot of trouble reaching... As for the lot of you, I want y' to see to it, that the cannons are cleaned, in the events that someone decides to break my code and sail for us, be it bandits or anything of the kind..."

General Alya gave Uri her word, however, the others who fought did not speak with him about such neutralterms... He needed Xyth for that when Asta, Kofe or anyone from those two nations. His plan was not to flee but to make sure that the innocents and all aboard had a place they could feel safe... The Captain knew that if he had to, he'd fight... For all of them.
(Uri Sanctum)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[20:00] Crossing his arms, he nods -- Gaze distant into the horizon.

"Mm. That's right. My … captivity proved to me that going through the undercity wasn't our best move. While we drove out The Family, ties may still remain there..."

But--- That was in the past. They took a different direction. The displaced people of Osrona would need a Leader -- he'd told Alexander of this plan of action long, long ago. ...Osrona is the people that live within the city, not the city itself. Should they need to evacuate elsewhere for their safety … He still has the divine purpose of watching over them in leonaus' stead.
(Odin ras Petrakis)

20:12] Elijah nodded. He could do that. He was already controlling the waters... Somewhat. Spreading specs of sand throughout the ocean so they could got at a faster pace, as well as doing some slight steering. But for the most part, he focused on calming the waves and giving the ship little boosts of speed.

"Aye. I'll get to it."

For now, he would let the two talk while he did... Ship maintenance.
(Elijah Azar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:14] For the time being still just waiting things out, trying not to bother anyone. Afterall he didn't have anything to contribute other than the the ladder of conversation, and not even much of that. Him looking over locations to hide if anything
(Three)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:19] He had all that time to introduce himself to Uri and say hi but unfortunately for the felinae and a lot of other people, the boat was crowded with refugees from the war. It took a long time to wade through them in search of certain man but it just seemed that he'd never find him. But eventually he spotted a blonde head in the sea of various colors of blonde and browns that were hiding on the ship and it seemed to fit the description.

A voice, barely loud enough to be heard called out to the blonde. "Howdy." Was all it said. Uri was likely going to be confused as to why he was there but that didn't matter too much and could be explained later.
(Erehn Linnaeus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:27] For this... Uri would nod his head, staring out to the setting sun, that horizon which always lied ahead... He was now at the helm again, just turning the wheel to fir wherever direction they may go... For now at least.

That's when he heard Erehn, "Oh, seems like someone finally decided to wake up... Do you know what's going on? Erehn?" He asked his crew mate and friend. The Captain kept his sights on just that, the horizon and the lives he was responsible for aboard his ship, the Soaring Phoenix... And even as the Councilmen of Osilot.

"Odin, it's probably best you lie low for a while, even if the war ends in our favor. Your very identity will put a target on your back," said Uri whilst focused on their destination. Unsure of how long they would have to stay out on sea and away from Osrona. For now, they sail...
(Uri Sanctum)
