Thread: When a New Land is Explored (MasterOfWhispers  and Frogger)

Wow... Ceridwen couldnt seem to get enough. Every little thing, no matter how trivial, was a sight to behold. It was all so different from the forests of Nergui. Of course she had been sailed to a new land, butshe didnt expect it to be this radically different. If anything, she thought there would be some similarities. Back in her homeland, the elves had fair skin that was almost luminous, and with hair that was either a rich gold or a deep black. Pointed ears were a feature common to her people. Here the people possessed skin as dark as tree bark, though it seemed to vary from one to another. There was also the reddish-brown hair. This made her very curious, and even brought a number of questions to mind. Yet what really threw her off was how the ocean and the air itself was different. Back at Nergui, the air could only be described as like a silvery dream. The ocean water at its east side had been the brightest of turquoise hues. Here.the air was crisper, but with the distinct scent of salt. And the waterwas more of a grayish-blue, yet it shifted in the light, from green to blue to gray and back. How disturbing all this was For years Ipakah has kept itself isolated from the world. No letter could reach any of its inhabitants, nor could anyone travel in its general direction and actually make their destination. It had been the source of rumors ever since she could rememberand now she was finally seeing the city for herself. The borders were lowered, and so those of magical abilities had been invited to attend their academy. The imagination runs wild, just trying to fathom what kind of classes and things are going to be taught there. She could barely contain her excitement. Lle desiel? The man at her side asked, his head bowed for a moment. His hair was the darkest of golden shades. At the roots the hair was a dark green, since his diet was mostly greens. Unlike many of their race, he was tall and broad, muscle rippling with his every move. Leather mostly adorned his body, and a sword strapped to his side guaranteed her safety. For some reason unfathomable to her, he had insisted on bringing a weapon. It was sweet that her brother wished to keep her safe, but this new city wasnt going to run her through with any kind of sharp pointed object. His dark blue eyes rose up to meet hers in a look that was warm and loving. A, Diarmait, Ceridwen told him in a quiet tone. The light glinted off her hair, which it itself was the deepest black possible. Sorry to have kept you waiting I just wanted a good look. This is such a fascinating place. Ocean foam rolled over her bare feet, leaving behind a tingling sensation in its wake. Her eyes were the same shade of blue as her brothers, though hers resembled more of a starry night sky. Along the edges were little silver specks that were the stars. Her face was heart-shaped, giving her more of an delicate appearance. Yet there was a fire in her very soul that seemed to radiate out from within her. The way she moved was graceful. Her dress was simple in design, but there was no mistake that it did more for her figure than the most elaborate attire. Her breasts were full, waist small and curves visible. Diarmait tucked her hand into his, a small smile given. He was the shyer of the two siblings. Rarely did he speak, but when he did he only had wise words to voice. In his other hand he picked up their few belongings. Even at the Edhelen Academy, he had been this way. Though many didnt understand his quiet waysit was just simply who he was in this day and age. If he wasnt interested in speaking, he will keep his words to himself until he feels like doing otherwise. There was nothing wrong with this. We should hurry he murmured, voice deep and husky, but otherwise understandable. I believe were lateand it wont do, being late on our first day. Luckily were close to one of the buildings already Ceridwen laughed softly. The sound was like the chiming of bells, musical and pleasing to the ear. We are closebut were not late. Classes dont even begin until the morrow. Come, brother dearest Let us see what this Academy has to offer. With a gentle tug she led him into the building they came to, which had a strange set of words at its center. Inside she was surprise to find many students waiting about. Evidently this was where the new students registered. A few boys and girls were already clad in their robes, and talking amongst themselves. From what she could tellthe robes were much along the lines of what they had to wear in their homeland. That brought a sense of relief so exquisite, she didnt know why she felt that way. I dont even know where to begin Neither do I, Diarmait piped up, his eyebrows furrowed. Maybe we should ask one of the students, Ceridwen suggested, eyes already going over the possible ones to ask. There was a few she wouldnt dare ask even if they were the last people in this town. To be put quite simplythey scared her. Scales, feathers, tails and fangs could be seen. It wasnt some mishap from magic but part of their racejust like how pointed ears was part of hers. Of course, that didnt lessen the fear bubbling in her belly. No, it just fed it, and causing it to grow stronger. This was a strange new landand she an explorer of said land. It was a given that she would be scaredright? That didnt exactly mean that she was cowardly Finally she found someone that she could ask. He looked normal, or at least in her perspective he did. His hair was short and black, and his eyes the more alluring green she has ever seen. They were like the leaves during springtime back in the forest, only darker. He also had lots of muscles that could rival with what her brother had. Hello? she called out, taking one careful step towards him. Her skirt flirted about, the rich purple fabric exposing her ankle for the briefest of seconds. Yes, we are new to this school Do you think you could assist us? We wish to be registered, but we are not sure how to go about doing this The manner she spoke was polite, but a bit old-fashioned. It was as though she came from older timeswhich in a way, she did.
