- Osilot, after a week or two from his encounter with Caila... Things returned to what they should've been, the growth of Osilot and the assembly of councilmen who will lead it. Uri, would be that person, someone who could guide and lead the people into making an honest living, offering jobs as Xyth explains the role to be. But even then, Uri had a concern, he wasn't always the best at gathering coin, but, he would give it his all. This would be done just before the grand meeting of all members to the Soaring Phoenix and those who desire to move into Osilot... It brought Uri joy to hear that his grandmother, Elora would retire from the Order to live in Osilot, a new land of opportunity with her great grandkids of the Brienne family, Lily and Azalea.
- 07:46] Uri thought about just that though. If things will be alright considering the location of where he was taking them. And how Erehn would fair off as well, for many things have changed and so have they.
- (Uri Sanctum)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [07:46] Xyth says, "Hmm Well funny enough Im not apart of that group"
- [07:47] Uri Sanctum asks, "Hehe, count your blessings friend. That aside, are there any new things we should address?"
- [07:48] Uri Sanctum says, "Maybe its time we hold another meeting with all of the crew if we can."
- [07:48] Xyth says, "Hm just waiting for the contractor to accept the building sketch really"
- [07:48] Xyth says, "Yea, that would be a good idea."
- [07:50] Uri Sanctum says, "You know..."
- [07:52] Uri smirks a bit as his gaze trails off to the ground. "It's an adventure, just trying to stay alive till the day we can see the settlement in its glory... Staying unharmed until, the ship is build... And things, many things, continue to happen in between... Like the worlds testing us, constantly," said Uri.
- He had those things on his mind, the years he'll spend on his ship. Who would try to claim it as their own and how he will work to protect it. Just the same for Osilot as well. Even with the swamp barrier protecting it, there were some who could literally fly over such obstacles and walk right on in.
- (Uri Sanctum)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:05] Elora chuckled a few times.
- (Elora Renae Otho)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:13] Sanna Arborea says, "Hello Grandmother"
- [08:18] Xyth looked toward Uri, though he'd simply chuckle. The Felinae heard about things like that of sailing out and even more.
- "Well Uri when your Boat is built you can go venture back out to the Los'Tal Island and seek treasures for the people of the land, even getting extra muscle from any hired people. Though I think it would bbe nice to go over what your role as a councilmen would be bu-"
- Because Xyth finished, he saw Elora and Cetta coming around, only to wave at the two of them with a smile. He was actually happy that Elora was still doing alright, though he'd motion Uri over there as well.
- "Alright Uri, you should come to, might as well tell you everything along wi-"
- Before he could finish again, he saw that Sanna and Cymbal came around, though he'd chuckle more, though now he wouldn't be surprised by more people suddenly showing up.
- "Lets just take a seat really quick. Else we would loose some seats."
- He'd chuckle again, but he walked up toward the table, smiling a little before settling down.
- "Good Morning Elora, Sanna, and Cymbal. I hope you all rested well"
- (Xyth)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:19] Cymbal Tenor exclaims, "I've rested well. Tested one of the beds in Sanna's shelter. Was quite comfortable!"
- [08:22] "Hello Sanna."
- Elora said as her granddaughter took the seat beside her. A smile was given to the girl and there after she'd look over to Xyth.
- Who had just sat at the table beside her. The same smile was offered to him as well.
- "Hello Xyth. Yes, doing good. Treated Cetta for some lesser injuries just a bit ago. She's doing just fine though."
- There came a pause. Her gaze turned to Cymbal, who she felt like she probably met once upon a time. But, didn't really remember cause there were so many people coming and going in her life it was hard to keep track sometimes.
- "How are you though Xyth? Busy, well, tired perhaps?"
- Was she doctoring him? Probably.
- (Elora Renae Otho)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:25] Xyth chuckled toward Elora's words, though he seemed to rub the back of his head a little.
- "Im alright, though I seem to find myself stressed out sometimes at random, though Im working it around. Though I'm looking to try out meditation again. Last time I actually meditated really was uh.....A long time ago..now that I think about it."
- It would have almost been a few months since he last meditated, though the last time he did he was in a cave with monsters around, but luckily for him he had some protection whilst he did it.
- (Xyth)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:27] Uri nods along as he would follow. But, as he was doing such. One of the servants from the house of Brienne would have approached the table. Since Vivian was busy and long gone for the coming years, dealing with only her farming within the plantation. Uri would be left to take care of the kids on days he was available such as today...
- He didn't mind, he wanted Elora to meet her great, great, great grandchildren. "Since we're just talking... Elora, meet your two toddler grand children, thrice the great... Lily and Azalea..." He smiled at the elderly woman, and the servant would likely just bring the children to her.. Uri didn't like the idea of having servants but, just like having a crew, some things were needed in such times.
- "And yes, I'd like to learn much more of the role I'd have in the settlement...And since we're all here, it'd be nice, to speak on just that, wouldn't it? Call it a mini-gathering of sorts."
- (Uri Sanctum)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:32] "Meditation is a good way to deal with stress. It allows your mind to focus on such thoughts in a much more clear setting.
- You're not bothered by the nonsense of day to day life while in meditation."
- Pausing there she'd look over to Uri. Giving her grandson a smile as he sat. Though as her third great grandchildren were shown to him a bright, warm, smile appeared on her face.
- "Ooh, it's about time you bring me these babies Mister Sanctum!"
- She said then oohed over the twins. Going on to take both of them from the servant. Allowing one to each arm, masterfully holding them. You got really good at it, especially when you had like eight kids, all of which had their own kids then they had their own kids and.. you get the point.
- "Hello my Lily and my Azalea. Oooh you're both so adorable!"
- The elder said while squishing them into a hug for the moment. She was one happy granny.
- (Elora Renae Otho)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:33] Sanna smiles at her grandmother, peeking in at the babies as much as she could without stealing time from Elora
- (Sanna Arborea)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:40] Xyth smiled toward both Uri and Elora, though seeing the twins, he was reminded of his Niece and Nephew; Aerlion and Nyx. Though out of it all, he was the one who had to help them. Erehn wasn't ready to do that, but Xyth at least tries.
- Once seeing Azalea and Lily, Xyth kind of just looks at them, his eyes focused on them for a moment, but hearing Uri finish, he nodded.
- "Yes, well as your task as the councilmen there will be certain guidelines and Regulations that need to be upheld.
- One of which is that because your the councilmen of the people, you will have to delegate certain things like guilds, public events, adventurer jobs, and even listening to the people if something needs to be done. Though those are just to name a few examples. Not to mention you'd be in charge of evacuation plans if something were to happen.
- If you have any questions about your height of power just let me know.
- In addition. No Councilmen has direct control of another, there is no leader board for who is better then who. Only the Chairmen can directly correct something if someone is screwing up. Though by no means does this mean other Councilmen cant take action."
- (Xyth)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:41] Xyth also smiled toward Sanna, waving to her before he spoke.
- (Xyth)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:42] Sanna waves slightly to Xyth with a warm smile
- (Sanna Arborea)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:50] He thought about his role. Seems it suited him perfectly, especially since he had a ship. One that provided jobs to those who sought them, and even provided adventure onto lands one would only ever dream of seeing. He smiles at Xyth, even adding onto the role for the many plans of evacuation already within Uri's mind.
- "And is why the Grand Stallion will be such an important vessel for my role as a councilmen... It is one of the largest as well as one of the fastest ships, due to it being powered by runes and a crew of magi... If we ever need to leave in the events of an emergency, my ship will be that scape-goat," he ponders more.
- "It will buy us time, and give us a great defense from any pursuers, I can do that as a Lord of the sea, and one day, once the settlement is made. The children, I plan to teach them about the history of Esshar… Because in order for all of us to remain neutral and care for one another, we must first understand each other, right?"
- He looks to his children... They were noble born, and from this point on. He'd have to do everything in his power to protect them from anyone who might have a hit out on the Brienne bloodline... Uri was a protective father, and seeing the twins only reminded him of the strife both he and his twin Faira had went through...
- Now things were different. Things were actually changing in their lives, thanks to those at the table and his friends who constantly risked their lives for one another... Esbern'o was one of them, a man he hoped to see again soon... "War's like this, I hope will never reach us, where our people are being held for ransom... But I won't fail you as the councilman of the people."
- (Uri Sanctum)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:57] Orca exclaims, "Oi! it's you!"
- [08:57] While the others spoke Elora was completely taken with her grandchildren. Once of which had taken interest in her hair, having tangled those little fingers within the braids.
- The other, well, she had taken an interest in the holy mana. Which, was more or less laced through her fingers. Harmless, yes, but it probably looked amusing to see the children staring in complete confusion and awe.
- Adorable, really.
- "Ooh, these two are just adorable Uri!"
- Elora added randomly as the others spoke and such. That aside she'd look up and focus upon the conversation. Allowing the girls to curiously inspect Elora and such.
- "Upon my retirement from active duty, I'll be settling in the village. If you'd like or if you ever needed me to, I will help.
- Be it treat wounds, a spot on your council, teaching others how to treat wounds. Whatever it may be, I'll do what I can for you.
- It's least I can do given you've allowed me to settle there."
- One of the girls, Lily, had reached for Sanna. Obviously curious about them and wanting the girl to take them.
- (Elora Renae Otho)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:57] Mariaan says, "Hello."
- [08:57] Orca puts a finger on his lips with a shushing gesture.
- (Orca)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:58] Orca asks, "Mariaan, right?"
- [08:58] Mariaan says, "Mhmm."
- [08:58] Orca asks, "Can you help me out with something?"
- [08:59] Mariaan asks, "What is it?"
- [08:59] Orca pulls his shirt up, revealing multiple scorches across his torso.
- (Orca)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [08:59] Orca asks, "Do you know someone who can fix this?"
- [08:59] Mariaan says, "Probably the old woman over there."
- [08:59] Orca says, "Appreciate it."
- [09:00] Xyth chuckled toward Elora, though he'd speak up.
- "Like I said Miss Elora, we'd welcome you with open arms. I was even planning to ask you to host a class or two at a future academy for the next generation when the time came. Though The only spot on the council as it stands is something involving Law, Organization, and Regulation."
- (Xyth)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [09:00] Cymbal glances up towards Orca's scorch marks. "Burnt off skin, and perhaps other layers deeper in. I may be able to help with that as well."
- (Cymbal Tenor)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [09:00] Xyth says, "I think half of us here are Doctors"
- [09:00] Sanna smiles warmly, reaching over to take Lily and cradle her.
- "Well hello there Lily. I'm...we're gonna with Auntie Sanna. And you are my most adorable niece until I'm holding a different one. Yes you are."
- Starts cooing and baby talking the young girl, a vine creeping up Sanna's back and blossoming into a bright yellow flower over her shoulder.
- (Sanna Arborea)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [09:05] Elora furrowed her brow.
- (Elora Renae Otho)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [09:05] Elora Renae Otho says, "I'm no sir."
- [09:05] Orca says, "I wish to."
- [09:05] Logia says, "I'm feeling much better than before, huh..."
- [09:06] Elora Renae Otho says, "But you needn't pay me. Just take them dear."
- [09:06] Something of a simple note... Both of the children had crimson hair, however Lily had green eyes whilst Azalea had silver eyes much like her father... Uri even pondered about, dying their hair blonde, just to keep them safe and out of harms way... But for now, he would enjoy the view of the two toddlers being with their relatives... A sight he longed for and its been a long time since he asked for this image, a prayer to the heavens.
- Now, he would focus on Xyth once more, about their own political matters. "I just hope the gods bless us with consecutive journeys to fulfill the wish of providing for the people... I want to make our settlement rich and strong, much like how Osrona has become... It might even take a thousand years, but, for us, being the upon a frontier? It's an honor in itself Xyth."
- He stands up, placing a painting onto the table. It was not a map, but merely, a glorified chart, a list of those within his crew and those he figured would come with them to the settlement of Osilot once the place had been brought up from the ground...
- That's when he looked over to the patient to be. "Someone injured or something?" He asked bluntly with a raise of his eyebrows.
- He had a trauma kit, but, would wait until he was asked.
- (Uri Sanctum)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 09:09] While everything was going on and the conversation was turning, Elora would double back to make a point upon what Xyth had said.
- "I will help you with whatever the village may need. You need but ask. If you seek for me to provide the council with guidance I shall. If you wish for me to offer classes at an Academy I shall.
- If you wish for me to simply just retire and relax, do nothing. Then I shall."
- Pausing shortly she would pass Sanna the second child. Giving her literally both hands full. She then looked back to the others. There was that short bit where she traded the ore to the male, but other than that she was on topic.
- "I need to speak with the King and tell him of my retirement. He'll have something to say about it I'm sure.
- Speaking of which, what do you all think? Most of you here are my blood family, those of you who are not are pretty much my grandchildren anyway.
- So please, tell me."
- (Elora Renae Otho)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [09:10] Orca says, "Oh dear, I got myself into something very intimate..."
- [09:11] Xyth looked toward Logia, though he waved him closer, smiling lightly, but then chuckled as he allowed his left hand to glow a vibrant golden hue.
- "You can trust me, I am a doctor and I can use my magic to make the pain go away. It wont hurt I promise"
- (Xyth)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [09:13] She took the second child, vines ready to support in case she felt herself slipping or her posture wasn't perfect. So far so good! Not bad for a woman with no kids of her own yet.
- "About your retirement? You deserve it grandmother. You've had decades of service to Osrona, the King and our family. You should get to live out wherever and however you please. I can't imagine that will be doing nothing, I'm fairly certain you'd not take well to that. But I'd love to get to spend more time with you Elora."
- One of the few times she used her grandmother's name, smiling warmly before her braid was being tugged by one of the twins, generating winces.
- "Ow, hey, can we not, ow."
- (Sanna Arborea)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [09:14] Cymbal smiles underneath his mask, looking at Sanna cradling the twins, chuckling as one of them tugs at her braid.
- "I think they like you."
- (Cymbal Tenor)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [09:16] Xyth turned his head back toward Elora, though he gave a soft smiled toward the older woman before he nodded toward her words and statements, even asking what they thought.
- "Honestly, I would of liked you to retire and teach, not worry about being apart of the council. That's like Putting you right back into work with more paperwork to be had. I believe you deserve the retirement. Though at the moment the Contractor is taking forever to approve the project."
- Though seeing the children do that to Sanna ,he couldn't help but laugh a little, though he'd pull back on the laughter for a moment.
- Xyth knew that one day Sanna would make a wonderful mother.
- (Xyth)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [09:23] Uri turns to his grandmother... Seems that patient to be ran off. "If anything, I'd say that you can do as you please... Be it to teach on your own accord or to simply relax and wander about..." He smiled.
- "I like the idea of you being capable of coming and going when you please... I know you grams, you won't sit in one place for long, you're not your typical grand-mama," he teased with a bit of laughter behind his words..
- He smiled at Sanna and how his child tugged at her hair, probably because they had matching hair colors. It was a cute moment regardless. "Careful, she has my strength, might cause ye' to lose a few strands," he joked.
- Now, Uri would focus on the list. "I wonder, how long it'll take to truly populate and build upon the settlement... Maybe I should start saving now, for more buildings to be made in the future outside of the ship... Things as simple as a church and so forth, things we'll need, maybe even a mail room for those who wish to run the lands and deliver letters.."
- It was a fun thought, a building dedicated to mail and business... And for him, Xyth was making a place for the people. A land where everyone had a chance to become something, to become a settlement leader or a member of the council... Uri, did not see that same possibility in Osrona, though he loved it, he knew the truths.
- (Uri Sanctum)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [09:26] Sanna continues wincing as her head is jerked to the side.
- "Yes yes, very funny, I'm clearly laughing, can someone get this iron grip off my hair please? I don't really have a hand to do it myself, and I'm not sure there's a great way for my magic to do it."
- To her credit she's extended the flower closer to Lily, the nice child's, face, keeping her laughing and not focused on the predicament of her aunt's hair.
- (Sanna Arborea)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- [09:27] Cymbal Tenor says, "To be honest, I am unsure how to do it as well. My own grip is actually quite weak, you know."
- [09:30] Xyth chuckled, though he used his gravity magic to make Azalea float into the air, making her light as a feather, but also twirling her around just a little bit to make it fun.
- "Miss Elora, mind grabbing her?"
- (Xyth)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [09:30] While the others all gave their opinions Elora would listen. Nodding here or there if only to acknowledge that she was indeed listening.
- But, before she would speak, Elora would take the child from Sanna. Peeling those little chubby fingers from around her hair.
- "Oh, you'll get used to it dear. I certainly did."
- The elder smiled then hoisted the baby up into the air. HOlding her at arms length for the moment. Their joyous smile filled Eloras heart with warmth. Causing an equally big smile to grow about her own expression.
- "These two are just too adorable. Uri, sorry to say but they're staying with Grandma when the village gets built up and settled.
- It's too late, I've already decided. No buts."
- She stated. Was she playing? Probably, but who knew when it was Elora and her babies.
- "Also, thank you all for your input. I've been thinking about retirement for sometime now.
- I believe I'll do so once the War has been settled. This is why I need to speak with the King."
- (Elora Renae Otho)
- [09:37] Sanna breathes a sigh of relief, happily returning her attention to Lily.
- "Oh no, I guess that means I'll have to spend all my time with my Grandmother so I can see these two non stop. Oh well, they'll have plenty of love. They don't need their stinky sea captain daddy now do they?"
- She smirked at Uri and continued cooing at Lily, rocking her gently in her arms before turning to Elora with a slightly more serious expression.
- "Who knows with this war though. It looks like it's only getting nastier. And occultists are starting to make appearances which doesn't help matters, hopefully occultists are the worst of it."
- She nodded to Eric in greeting, shutting up due to some unknown feeling that somehow, it was time to tease Eric since they'd just been talking about him.
- Clearly.
- (Sanna Arborea)
- [09:40] Xyth looked toward everyone at the table, though seeing the children playing around, Elora talking about retirement and even talk about the city, it made him happy.
- In all kinds of ways, Xyth started smiling, happily looking down to the floor before whispering to himself, though pressing his thumbs together in a nice manner. This was honestly nice , though it was too bad that his family wasn't around to hear it.
- (Xyth)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [09:40] Xyth whispers: I hope to have a family someday
- [09:41] Having just woken up about an hour or so ago Eric gave a yawn and scratched at his head messing up his hair before sitting with the group. Oblivous to what was happening he'd raise a hand slightly. "Morning everyone, What're we talking about?"
- His eyes scanning the group before turning to the small baby in her arms. It seemed spring time was upon them, babys being born left and right. "Who's baby is that?"
- (Eric Blacke)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 09:43] "Oh, that's how it is huh?" He chuckled at Sanna's words. The life of a pirate was true to him. But not one to pillage, plunder, and do banditry across the sea. No, to Uri, being a pirate simply meant living a life of adventure, to be truly free without anyone tying you down, not even life or death itself. "One day, they'll grow to reach their own horizon... Till then... Drink up, yer jolly-yoho," he made not just a pirate joke, a pirate-dad joke...
- But, as he reached for the milk from the servant. He did wonder about Caila, his student and how she would fair in all of this. "Well, these days, even without the war... People have been getting bold, and I wonder just who will try to grow the gall and find our settlement... But----"
- He leans over to pinch the babies cheeks ever so gently---Then, he heard Cetta in the background... "----My children looks like their aunt?" He questioned...
- "That---That aside... What will the others be doing Xyth? Within the settlement? I know of my role, but what of those who will work to defend it as strategically as possible?"
- Uri had much on his mind this morning...
- (Uri Sanctum)
