One second, it's this nice and soft-spoken area of dark reclusive elves. The next, chaos everywhere, building crashing down or coming out of the ground. Ice breaking, shattering along the ground to where few can even move without landing in another's path. The many creatures ran in many directions, north, east, water. It was sad how the chaos caused so much panic. I clutched onto my doll and calmly walked through the travesty around me. 1 I used the skills picked up from a long time ago, memorizing patterns, watch the earth for tremors, analyze how the ice falls. It was a new highlight of entertainment, a new challenge for creating a path and safety for others. The challenge did not last long, as the more frequent the falling, the more predictable it was. I began stopping the lighter ices from hitting people, pulling hoods of people about to run into heavier and bigger ones. 2 I just keep on focusing and helping to prevent most stupid of damages this could cause. Amongst the earthquake, I find the leader who I was to talk to for business. I show my doll to them, the signal a clear message of who I was, and he gives commands to his people to help follow my lead. It becomes easier to maneuver people out of the way and into the open.

Participants: Two or more Location: One of Charon's Major Cities Post Requirements: 6 post per person, 200 words per post Reward: +1 Renown, +1 Mystical Archive Ticket Description: You have found yourself caught up in one of these earthquakes, one of the biggest yet. While spending time in one of Charon's popular cities, the earth begins to shake, cracking open and throwing the city into chaos. Buildings collapse, fires spread and lava seeps from a massive fissure that has sprouted open, leaving those in the city to run for their lives. As a brave, capable member of Charon, you are needed to help evacuate the city, tend to wounded and assist civilians in getting to safety. The destruction is massive, rendering a small portion of the city destroyed and in need of repairs, but fixing things comes later, the priority now is to survive!

Erik and his two friends paused at the shaking as they ran out. He sent Miguel one way to help people, tulio the other way and he ran towards the docks to get people away from the waters and to the other side of town where it would be a bit safer at least. He helped people hurry and carried one kid while leading another by the hand towards safety. Once he got them a safe distance from it all he had the kids stay with some of the other evacuees before shooting a small bit of flame into the air signaling his companions to lead people here to safety. He felt relief as he noticed them bringing more people and once the shaking ended he ran back into town, manipulating the flame he had to duck between rubble and light it up to find people who were in need of assistance. Most would have frozen at the sight of dead bodies but living as he had for so long it wasn’t so uncommon though as usual was a sad sight. Those who could be helped however he did everything he could to assist them and get them to safety where they could be healed

Fire, good and bad in this area. Good for getting rid of ice, bad cause it's getting rid of any stable ice. I keep protecting all I could, people pointing to one of the ends of the road. 1 This finally directs the groups of people to the same direction the fire. I quickly followed how the others were moving. The path was icy and rough terrain, but the crowd seemed to find it simple enough to manage. I turn to the rest of the ruble, moving all I could will searching for anyone who might have been caught without me noticing. This area quickly funnels out, but I don't take any chances. I count, I follow, I do what I naturally find fun, make it to a quiz and craft game. Each piece of ice was a block, each section cleared was an opportunity. My smile widens, and I start collecting the ice I haphazardly moved to edges and started building little areas of sturdy platforms. None were more than enough to have two feet on. I quickly hope on one, as another quake broke the ground. The area once full of peace had ruins similar to that of flooded towns. I shifted each area I made to a person who fell behind. Each person grateful for the help. I didn't care for the empathy at the moment. I notice a large crowd up ahead, the ones everyone was coming to, and understood what had been happening. The camp of safety was temporary at best, but nothing we could not handle. I slowed the ice platforms and as they stopped, I released them, giving a rest to my mind. They quickly shatter from the movement they experienced, but the civilians were safe. 1.Telepathy

Seeing more people coming over he relaxed a bit and threw some sticks the others had gathered and pointed to them, creating a flame to light it. He then told the others if they wanted camp fires to get sticks and let him know. He knew it wasnt much but it was something to help the people. He then looked back to miguel and tulio "You two, gather anything that can be salvaged, blankets, food, water" he remarked, the two nodding before running back into the town to find what could be used. He sighed a little and thought of what more could be done as he lit a few more fires for people to help everyone stay warm. At least his tricks came in handy for moments such at this. It was strange to not be looked down on by the people who had done so for years. instead they seemed thankful and grateful for his help which was confusing and hard to understand for him. He hardly ever saw those looks directed towards him in life yet it was a nice though strange feeling to experience in all honesty. He smiled a little as he continued to help waiting for the other two to come back

Resting a bit really helps the headaches, not to mention my childlike appearance lets the people think I'm looking for family or my guide when really I'm reading the environment and testing the area by pushing mentally here and there. Processing the land took longer than I liked, but it was necessary for me to do so before leaving. Seeing this ground remained very sturdy and unlikely to shift.
Taking a deep breath, I look to my doll I held onto for this entire time, not a single scratch, just the way I like it. I look forward to the city streets and run. I could hear cries from behind, trying tell me to stop. Another tries to grab me, I simply dodge around them, and into the city once more. I slip around gracefully, once more moving what I could and simply dodging the larger ones. I come across a few people, shouting where to go from there. Never stopping, I keep forward till I come across someone who has a piece stuck in his chest. Knowing basic first aid allows me to know taking out the shard will only harm him, but I know that's the only thing I could move. I could only hop around and run once more to find someone to help. But who could survive this mess unless they knew the patterns?

Erik helped those he could at camp before going to check the town again. He moved easily through the streets and ruble as he knew them well even in such a state. He called out for survivors as flames swirled around him lighting up the dusty darkness of the disaster as he looked around. “Is anyone still out here?” He called every so often “any survivors make a noise!” He would add after a few moments repeating this call process a few times as he paused to listen and investigated any noises for the chance of more people still alive.
Some sights were dreadful to see but those still alive were able to be helped and get to the camp, with some help of course if they needed it. He then heard steps running nearby and saw a glimpse of what appeared to be a young girl, raising a brow he looked over “hello? Kid head out of the village there is a camp being set up for survivors there alright?” He called a bit confused as to where the child had even come from but all the same gave them directions before stepping to continue his search for more survivors

I could hear a person searching for others, calling out and wanting a response. I couldn't call out loudly, who knows how much this person could still hear, not to mention using my telekinesis over and over for long periods of time is truly existing and headache creating. He quickly finds me while I am trying to keep my momentum up. He starts directing me to where I had come from, trying to get me to 'safety'.
I a small voice I attempt to call out, "Wait!" I know I sounded desperate, but the situation needed it, I look at the man who had simply regarded me as a simple child. I point to the man on the ground, "He needs help, there is a shard impaled in his chest. It is not touching any vital spots, as far as I can tell. But I'm not strong enough to bring him to the healers. Please help me move him!" I give a little bow, feeling very inferior due to needing to beg for help. Not looking to see if the man had kept moving or came to help me, I mentally lifted each clothing that was smaller than me, which was much of it, in order to ease any caught cloth or hoping to lift him up using the clothes. It was very taxing either way.

Erik was. Surprised but nodded and carefully picked up the man trying to keep the shard from moving too much in the man’s chest “now quickly we should move along” he replied carrying the man towards the makeshift camp that was forming on the edge of the town. He looked around to see if there was anyone else around or any other dangers from the catastrophe that had occurred, soon getting the man to the makeshift camp and carefully laying him down. He knew it wasn’t great to move around an injured person at times but it was better to get him to the medics then to try and find someone to go through the rubble.
He got the man set down and called over a medic to help him before sighing taking a moment to think over everything that had happened. He made sure his two friends were alright and pat them on the back with a small chuckle “well lads I guess we need to find a new place hm?” He questioned trying to lighten the mood “one with some lovely folks who can keep us company” he grinned a little as he then looked back around the camp

In the camp, much chaos still reined. The injured and near dead still fighting, the medics and doctors fighting with the needed people. I knew what was needed, as well as how to organize what was happening. I pointed out that the best doctors go for the near dead, the next level to the majorly injured, and battle medics, or people who happen to know how to dress wounds could care for the scratch up and bruised. Originally, not many had been listening to my advice, bu the moment the few leaders in the crowd hear me, everything started to form a much more clear and manageable area. I turn to the leader of the group I was meant to meet in the first place, "Well, I would have liked to meet and discuss things in a much more quiet space, but negotiations are what are needed for the village, no?"
In front of me was one of the many supply chain officials for Pale City. Mainly, he had control of exported wood, a key factor in building. I gave a smile, "Lets have other importers enter the chat, as I think each of your wants and valuable information you wished to give have changed. Especially after this...incident" I wave my hand in circles. The man nodded, agreeing before I pointed to the heavily injured tent. "In there is your best man, found him with a piece of ice in his chest." I pointed to the kind man who had helped me, "He brought him here, as well as coordinated his friends with the rush and chaos to help start this safe haven."
I gave a kid-like excitement smile, "~You wouldn't have any trouble telling me who he is? Would you?~"

Erik looked at the chaos and grimaced. He shouldn’t be surprised by the greed and self concern of humanity yet what did surprise him was the young looking girl organizing thing and people listening to her “you a noble or something kid?” He questioned glancing over. He then listened as they talked on listening about some kind of deal and hearing him and his friends mentioned before looking at the man when asked if he recognized them. That certainly wasn’t something he was interested in the man answering. Their wanted posters were certainly destroyed and burned in the towns destruction but he was not about to be restrained after helping the people escape. He gave the man a wary look, glancing to tulio and Miguel who were getting some burns and such cared for
They rarely worked face to face with the rest of the underworld as they mainly took care of themselves and make it through life taking care of each other and such. He kept his gaze on the man his hand subtly over his dagger in case things took the turn he expected it to. Trust was something only two people had earned from him. The rest of the world was a threat

My grand plan of round about learning was failing, the leader was paling and fidgeting under my gaze. He kept glancing between me and the area where they were. My smile slowly becoming forced and smaller. After a good minute of this man being undecided, I stop the useless waiting. "It seems you do have trouble telling me just who he is. If I must, I'll just have to ask personally." The tension that had grown in the man quickly faded out, his head nodding and agreeing that I should find out myself. My smile came back in full force, "Alright! Do expect the negotiations to not fall in your favor then." I turn around and skip away, avoiding the crowd easily, 1 completely ignoring the pleads and crying of the man I just left. I scan over the group, smile wide, and stop outside of any melee range. I have my doll move forward to in front of the man who helped me, a clear sign that I'm not attacking, and both of us gave a bow. 2 I stand up quickly and pull the doll back into my arms. "Thank you for helping me with moving that man, he is very important to this city and I couldn't leave him for dead." I pause and in a whisper, I mumble, "Especially when that place was due to completely collapse only a few minutes after we left." I slowly walk forward, testing boundaries, before coming to a stop about halfway to him and still out of melee range to his companions. I reach my hand forward, "Let me introduce myself, I am Keyke. Most who are in the underworld know me as The Arcana of Storms." I let the name sink in, "Would you mind telling me what you go by?"

He watched as she talked to the other man for a moment and as she walked over. He was on his guard with the others and raised a brow as he looked at her taking his hand off his dagger but keeping it close just in case as he looked at her. His guard never lowered though he let her approach some “of course. Might as well help in such a scenario I suppose. “ he remarked before listening to her introduction “quite a big name for someone so small” he commented before responding after a moment “I’m Erik though typically know as firefly, those two are my companions” he gestured to the two behind him.
He glanced around for guards making sure none were approaching at a time like this as he didn’t feel like fighting the fools at this current time with all that was happening as it is. Once making sure it was clear he looked back to the girl “so what’s a big shot doing here?” He asked curiously awaiting an answer to see what dealings were supposed to happen or situation before the disaster had struck and caused quite a bit of chaos

Noticing the worry for guards, I smile and simply nod at the caution. You don't get a name in the underworld without gaining some form of it. At his question, I start to give a proper once over to analyze him properly. Tall, lean with hints of muscles from the jacket. I look at his objectively handsome face and gave a little giggle at the short comment. "I know, I find the irony very hilarious." I think over what should be said and what will later be happening.
"Many of things, connections, trade..." I look over to the group of people slowly gaining a chance for more survival and the leaders talking amongst themselves, "and now rebuilding, it seems." I glance back to Erik, "I don't get in the way of others unless it's stopping a chance for growth and research. I find watching the world grow an entertainment that raises higher than most other forms of destruction." I look to the town and then his companions, "I find groups a worthy thing to have, as not many have that form of loyalty. Congrats on having them." I look to the sky, "My own should be coming home soon, it's only a matter of time."

"It is quite surprising indeed" he nodded though made note of the girl. Whether friend or enemy in the end he knew the face now which would help either way things went. He listened to what she said next and paused "That's an interesting way to view the world" he remarked as he thought about it a bit. It was certainly different than his own view. For him it was survival and keeping his friends and himself alive and together through everything.
"Thanks. They are my family after all." he remarked with a small grin. "They are good to have that's for sure." he agreed with her "Our family may be getting bigger though. Glad yours will be home soon and all that" he added as he looked to his two companions with a grin. He could still see them as the kids they had all been once, learning to steal and live off what they could get. He then looked at her "take care of your family and everything alright? They are good to have and important" he remarked giving her a polite nod and wave "I better go check on those two and make sure they arent hurt after everything that happened" he turned with a wave and grin "till next time princess" he called

The small replies, could only bring me to giggle, after all, few call there people family. That in and of itself only hints at what will be to come. His little waves good bye simply let me know how he respected me, as few would turn their backs on an enemy. I could only pause at the note of princess, the implications running in my head. I do a small head nod to Erik, keeping his name in mind and a note to keep watching for his family. Who knows what's to come from them.
I turn around and walk back to the diminished chaos, ready to finish my business. After all, while I may not have healing abilities or background, even a smile can bring back hope. My thoughts went back to princess as I helped around. 'Princess, fitting.' I give a warm smile to the worried family, helping them on their way. 'He is right, after all,' I turn away and my smile becomes a sinister grin, 'I'm not done growing, not for a long time.'
As once read in the library of the Dryadali, 'The pen is greater than the sword.' I have challenged that and it still proves to this day.
