Thread: Whispers In The New World //CyanideDisaster & Lotherio//

When the meeting begun all those who were not valid to give their opinions were moved back from the center of the settlement, this meaning the decrepit, the injured, the young, and most of the women who did not wish to be a part of it -- as was their right. So by the time those who chose not to feast joined for the meeting there was maybe three hundred or so kaluwa left around the building, all seated patiently. The carcass of the beast was being taken away by some of the woman to be cleaned, and be put to use once more. Around the seated kaluwa there were tall black posts, with glass planes holding in a magical spark, keeping the area lit as the sun lowered over the surrounding tree's. Near the front of the meeting were the more elderly people and it progressed to leave the youngest of the able at the edges of the semi-circle. All surrounding five elders. The elders began the meeting with a prayer to the Humans, speaking of their ascension and their need to please them, many of the most devout bowed their heads and joined along. The woman in the long dress joined them, whispered the words at the proper inflections. Sitting back up and brushing long hair from her soft green eyes, a little smile on her slender face. Further back in the procession was Y'sanne, the warrior. Sitting proudly with her legs crossed under her. And trace of the happiness she showed after returning with food was gone, leaving only the hardened face of a warrior behind. Tonight we gather after a delicious feast to speak of the settlement, The first elder spoke, into a device with a long plastic handle with a mesh-like globe at it's top, it amplified his voice across the whole meeting. We have become crowded. He finished simply, waving a hand across the group. Kaluwa turned and began speaking to each other frantically. Silence. The third of the elder's spoke, his voice much more demanding than the first. You will get time for idle chatter and worries in the end. The second elder cut in, placing a lithe hand over the third's arm gently. It was the only female elder, We have begun to deliberate. We wish for a group, a small group, to move out into the wilds and find a suitable place to begin a second settlement, a place with enough room for half of us to live. Once this is done, they will return to us and lead a group to this area, and we will continue from there. There was no question in her gentle voice, though all five elders nodded their heads as she spoke. Some may already have other's in mind, but we have already discussed this and creature a short list, will those which names are spoken please come us, only four of the ten chosen will go. The last elder spoke, peering over the group. This elder pulled a rolled piece of paper from the satchel around his waist. Ressen, Tobith, Olar, Suula, Y'sanne, Ramoli, Taero, Naelan, Guthe, and Leekra. We wish to speak with you privately before the decision is made. After this was spoken, the elders waved their hands, dismissing all those who were not called, this meeting was not to be a consensus. Y'sanne gathered herself up, a wicked smile on her lips as she held her helm under one arm. She looked at the others who moved up towards the elders' chambers, and felt more than confident she would be chosen to go. Naelan, on the other hand, fretted with her dress as she moved up, pushing her spectacles back up over her lightly freckled nose, wringing her hands afterward as she strode towards the chambers with her long legs.
