Eclipse City was beautiful, people were walking about calmly, and the sky was clear and bright. A completely normal, quiet day. Until the rumbling began. Fissures opened in the ground, buildings began to collapse as the ground shook beneath them, and fires broke out around the city where lava suddenly burst from the ground. People panicked and ran, trying to run away to anywhere but here, trying to get to a safe distance from the disaster suddenly occurring in the city. Beist hadn't been expecting this at all. He'd just wanted to visit the city to take a look at some of the local apothecaries and alchemical shops. Now, he was running back to the alley next to the inn where'd he'd parked his wagon. Were all of his pets alright!? Dora was still harnessed to the wagon, and most of his other pets were inside! He had to get back to them right away! Other adventurers and city guard ushered people to safety, evacuating the citizens and visitors. They could handle this, he didn't need to interfere, he could focus on getting out of here himself. But, then he noticed something. Everyone was escorting the people, of course that was important, but everyone was forgetting something. No one was trying to rescue the animals! They were just being carelessly left behind. He had to help them! Quest Name: Evacuation! 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!

Calliope had been smiling and exploring whilst her Druid caretaker got some supplies to take back to the village. She had enjoyed the time and felt the faint vibrations of everyone walking and working as always as she went. She was enjoying the nice day and weather until the ground began shaking more than ever before. She stumbled trying to stay up as she looked at it moving back away from the cracks eyes wide. Her ears lowered in fear as she soon fell with people bumping into her as they ran from fire and lava. She curled up and held her head to avoid being trampled and peeked her head up once she got the chance looking back. Her eyes widened seeing the lava and fire scrambling up and trying to find her companion shaking worriedly
Her voice croaked out her companions name but she couldn’t hear the sound to tell if she was even saying anything or how loud it was as she never talked since it was harder than signing or writing. She saw some animals trapped nearby and ran over struggling but she opened the gates they were stuck behind to let them run soon running behind them as she didn’t know which ways were safe but was hoping they did.

Beist emerged from an alleyway he passed through as a shortcut and was unsurprised to see this street in just as much of a panic as the next one over. Just how far did the destruction spread? There was really no way to tell until it was over. In the meantime, all anyone could do was run and try to help others run away from the splitting earth and spewing fire.
He looked to see a group of animals running out of a gate and down the street. At least someone else had taken the time to assist the poor things. She looked to be a young Fellblood girl. He called out to her, a hand cupped in front of his mouth to try to shout over the sounds of screaming and panic all around.
"Are you alright?" He asked with concern.
He took a step in her direction before looking to the side to see a cat in the window of a building, scratching at the glass. Oh no. Without hesitation, he went to the door of the building and tried to open it to release the trapped animals, but it was locked shut. Oh well, he was sure no one would notice a little bit of property damage in the midst of such a disaster, right?
With a punch from the giant man, he broke the door's latch and it swung open. The cat ran out of the door and down the street with the rest of the animals fleeing the city.

She couldn't hear the yells and such around her as her ears were the one weakness the sweet girl had. As she had called out she just prayed the other could hear her voice. She then saw the glimpse of a familiar cape on the ground and ran towards it, pausing as her eyes widened at the scene. Crimson...crimson stained the cape and the area around it and the rubble. She cropped to the ground seeing the man mainly crushed, she looked in the eyes of one of her caregivers from the village as her eyes filled with tears. "P...lease... we have to go...get up" she said as best she could.
The tiefling male tried to muster a small smile and pat her head as he looked up at her the best he could "Calli... You need to go... take this and run okay? Make it home to the village" he replied as best he could making sure to look at her so she could read his lips. He opened his hand to show a necklace "found it before..this happened. Thought you would like it" he remarked as he handed it to her. She cried and couldn't move to run

With the cat freed, Beist looked back over to the Fellblood girl and finally noticed she was crying over what looked like another person. He gasped and rushed over toward them, a look of worry on his face.
He stopped and knelt down over the two of them. This didn't look good at all. The Fellblood man was crushed under the rubble and bleeding. Beist couldn't tell how much damage there was. Lifting it up carelessly could just kill the man, but he'd die for certain if just left there as well. There was no time to lose. He placed a hand on the man's arm as gently as he could.
"This won't be pleasant." Beist whispered sadly as he cast the spell, drawing from the celestial quetzalcoatl within him. The magic flowed through the Fellblood, healing him, but it couldn't heal him completely. Not with the rubble still in the way. Beist took hold of the heavy stone atop the man and began to lift, bracing all of his arms against it and pushing with his whole body. Slowly, the stone shifted and rose off of the man.
With the rubble moving and the magic flowing at the same time, the man was slowly healed, but it was a painful process. It was the only way Beist could do it in such a sudden situation. He felt sorry for him, but this should save his life. He glanced at the girl, hoping she was okay. This couldn't have been pleasant to watch.

The man was surprised as he looked up at the other having not planned on being rescued in all honesty but he nodded and signed to the girl with his hands "It is alright this man is going to help and then we can go home okay?" he signed with a small weak smile. The girl hiccupped a bit and signed quickly at the man before holding out her pinky obviously wanting a promise that he would go home with her back to their village. He weakly wrapped his own pinky around hers before yelling at the pain and wincing. He tried to hide his face though so Calliope wouldnt worry more than she already was. Her tail was whipping wildly behind her, her face streaked with tears as she was shaking in worry.
She moved closer to the other as he was freed until she was hugging him sniffling, as he slowly tried to wrap her into a hug before looking up at the man "thank you...If she was on her own..." he frowned worriedly and shook his head. "He weakly moved himself and the girl away from the rubble so it could be placed down, coughing a bit as he did. Calliope clung to him glancing to beist and signing a little thank you

Beist looked at the small Fellblood girl beside the man. The two communicated in sign language. So, it seemed the girl was deaf. No wonder she hadn't heard him call to her before. The beast man wasn't the most adept at using sign language, but in his thirst for knowledge he had studied it a bit. He knew enough to piece together their conversation and sign "You're welcome" to the girl before looking back to her apparent caretaker.
"We're not safe yet. We need to get moving. Your injuries were healed, but I imagine you're still not fully recovered from the pain and blood loss enough to run from this disaster, are you? Don't worry." Beist stated before gently scooping his lower pair of hands beneath the weakened man and lifting him up with ease. "I'll help you both get out of here. I'm sorry my sign language isn't perfectly fluent, so I'd appreciate if you can explain to the girl what's going on. My name is Beist."
He stood up slowly, not wanting to jostle the man in his weakened state too much. He wasn't in danger of dying now, but he would be exhausted. Healing magic, no matter how strong, wasn't going to suddenly erase the mental trauma one experiences from being crushed nearly to death nor restore the stamina he'd expended simply trying to survive.

The man nodded surprised at being picked up and a bit embarassed but he pushed that aside and relayed what the other said to calliope who nodded a little. “She can read lips as well if something needs to happen fast” he explained. “I’m marcle and this is calliope. Thank you for saving us beist.” He replied relaxing a little. Calliope looked around, her ears twitching worriedly as her tail snapped from side so To side looking for a good way out before pointing in what seemed to be a relatively safe way out of the rubble though it was hard for her to tell just by visuals. She was worried and looked back to the other two. Marcle praised her for trying to help and reached over gently patting her head “I’m sure the village is okay calli… it’s okay let’s go home” he spoke trying to comfort her. She gave an uncertain look but nodded and gently grabbed onto one of heists free hands so they could all get out together. She bit her lip a little hoping for the best as her free hand clutched the necklace from marcle to try and stay brave. She wanted to be a knight after all

Beist nodded. It was good to know she could read lips. He just worried for a moment that she might not be able to read his lips since they were a bit more animal-like than human. Hopefully it would be alright. Really, it would be ideal if there wasn't a situation that required it at all. He could communicate through sign language passably enough as long as it wasn't an emergency.
Beist looked to Calliope with a warm smile and gave her a wave as she grasped his hand. "It's nice to meet you, Calliope." He said slowly. He both wanted to be reassuring for her, but also wanted to see if she was indeed able to read his lips. It weighed on his conscience to be testing her like that right now, but this was a difficult situation and he needed to put survival first for all of their sakes. Marcle was very literally in his hands, depending on him to get him and Calliope out of here safely.
Beist stood up straight, the tips of his fingers just within reach for Calliope to continue to hold onto. With his last free hand, he pulled a tiny white snake with golden wings from the fluff around his neck and spoke to it with urgency in his voice.
"Search for any more survivors that are trapped around here." He commanded it as calmly as he could. He needed to stay calm. If he panicked, it would make Calliope panic as well. To the best of his knowledge, that was how it worked with children.
With the snake flying off to do as he'd said, he began to lead Calliope down the road, away from the rubble. He hoped his pets would be alright with him taking a little longer for him to get back to them.

With her free hand calliope signed that it was nice to meet him as well showing she understood. She looked around with her best brave face on trying to show she could be brave and tough as she stayed with the two wondering if she could do anything to help or not. Calliope walked alongside beist feeling the ground under her to see if anything else was collapsing by the trembles below her. She gave his hand a little squeeze when she felt the tremors of a building collapsing somewhere nearby. Her tail moved behind her as she looked around for a source while they moved forwards. She didn’t see anything near them so assumed it was a road or two over. She after a while thought of an idea and stopped a moment closing her eyes. Within a moment a small seedling appeared in front of her. She smiled as it healed any little scratches on the three of them. She smiled up at the two proud that she could do at least a small something to help the others even if it didn’t do much at all. Once done the little seedling sat on her shoulder

Beist looked around as he lead Calliope through the streets, checking for anyone else in need of some help or any dangers. Luckily, the path they were taking was clear and he didn't see anyone else. He wondered if Pretzels would have any bad news upon his return, but he needed to focus on what was in front of him right now and not worry about something like that until he and the two in his care were safely out of this mess.
The bottoms of his bare feet hurt a bit as he stepped on rocks and the occasional bit of broken glass that had been strewn across the ground from a shattered window or fallen street lamp. He just needed to ignore it until they were safe. But, then the pain faded and he looked down to see a little twig-like creature climbing up onto Calliope's shoulder. He didn't know where it had come from or what it was, but it was adorable to him! Did it just heal him? What a lovely little creature. The beast man had a fondness for fascinating creatures like these.
His worried mood took a turn for the better just thanks to the presence of the cute little twig creature. His feet feeling better also helped, and Calliope looked to be feeling a bit better too.

Calliope smiled seeing beist's small wounds heal glad to be able to hep in some form at least even if it wasnt much at the moment. She walked by his side checking on her caretaker as they went. She hoped their village was alright through all of this. They were basically her family after all and had ben raising her since her parents passing. She cared for them all greatly and they cared for her. That was the way things had always been and she worried about any of them being hurt or worse. What if she lost them? She gave her head a little shake not wanting to think such things as she took in a deep breath and focused on what was ahead of them. Her gaze swept the area looking for signs of people or creatures who were in need of some help, her tail swaying behind her as she was rather focused on her task. It was a nice distraction from her worried thoughts as she tried to think like a knight would; find and help who you can and protect the people. she repeated that in her head as they went, putting on a brave face
