The Elder Gods: ch 1
 

Calie had felt herself being drawn back to civilization. There was something evil growing and she knew that alone she could do nothing about it, but if there were others...maybe there was a chance. She had wandered the continet and finally came upon the holy city of Chyrellos. Impossible! Nothing could be so big! She stood on a hillside that over looked the vast city. In all her 10 years of self-inflicted exile had she ever encountered something that caused such paralizing fear.
Am I ready for this? she wondered. I've come so far, and I still feel drawn into the city, but all those humans! What will they do when they learn I'm not like them? She sat upon the spingy grass and decided to wait for her courage to come back to her before venturing into the sprawling city.

Azrael rode up to the top of the hill. Chyrellos, the holy city, the jewel of all Elenes. He had business the leader of the Cyrinic order had called Azrael in to the holy city. (up to you dona why azrael was called to the holy city.)

Rath walked as though he had spent the last night doing something great deal more exciting than sleeping in the rain. To his mind It always paid to look diffrently from how he felt, and how he felt was miserable. His travel boots had worn down to little more than leather stockings, and his money pouch was painfully light. Adjusting his sword under his cloak, he mumbled his thoughts out loud to him self

"A city that large, a man should be able to get in and out with a whole lotta money and not a lot of notice. And get more than a little drunk to boot."

Still, he could not help but pull the hood of his cloak further up over his head. A city that large also ment that he might run into somene he knew. Rarely was that ever a good thing. Peering out from the shadow so his cowel, he took stock of his road companions. No one he knew.... might be time to make some new friends....

ooc: jad (and any other church knights with us) - you've been summoned to gather diverse companions who will help you with the quest of finding a means to thwart the minions of azash and da'shan. sound good?

Ansythesay was walking along a main street in Chyrellos. It was a hot sunny day. There were thousands of peolple walking through the street. The city was bustling. "Yes, it was worth taking this trip," thought Ansythesay. It had been a several day long trip here from Kadach, her hometown. She had quite a lot of money along (obdained from her job as an engineer), enough for the classiest inn. Now she was shoping. "Great! A shop of fruit, just what I wanted." yelled Ansythesay suddenly. Everyone started staring at her, but she ignored it:"YAY!" she yelled, running into the little shop. "I'd like that please, and that and that and that. You have so many fruit," She said to the shopkeeper. After having bought all she wanted she wanders back into the street. Once again, people encircle her, as she moves on.

ooc: Chyrellos = Rome in the renaisance

Azrael had ridden into the city and was no hedding toward the basillica to pay his respects to the god of the Elenes.

Argoth wandered aimlessly through the forest near Chyrellos. For three hundred years he had wandered aimlessly in this place helping the odd traveler if they became waylayed. Today seemed no different, though it definately felt otherwise. The world felt out of alignment and it felt as though the gods themselves were in need of help. Argoth shrugged. There was little a lowly spirit could do at a time like this. All he could do was wait.

Lia wandered into the town of Chyrellos, amazed by the huge city. "Wow, this place is at least ten times bigger than our cathedral..." She leaned against her staff and glanced at all of the bustling people milling through the streets. <In a town so huge... where should I head first...?> She mused... "Ah-hah! The church!" She smiled as she headed on her way to the church, not exactly sure where it was, but due to past experience with churches, heading towards the center of town was a good place to start.

(OOC: yay. I'm a happy, upbeat character. ^^ If I did anything wrong, justtell me, and I'l fix it when I get back from dance, I have to go now though. ^^ )

Anzai looked around the new city that he was in. It was as beautiful as everyone made it out to be. He wondered about aimlessly soaking it all in. "Yes... this place is very beautiful."

Calie felt she waited long enough. Besides, staring at the city did nothing to help her fears and she figured the only way to get over her panic was to just get it over with. Oh well, if this doesn't work out I can still run back to the forest. She started down the hill and soon entered the city. All around her people were milling about and the general noise was enough to make her wince every time another merchant shouted his wares. I hope they don't carry on like this all night, how can they stand the noise?
Even though she had no definite destination, her feet uneeringly carried her closer and closer to the center of the city.
