| Chapter 1: Arian Senshi and Knights? Intro for: Juline, Gaia, Sailor Terren, and Sailor Mystos ---------------------------------------- Juline rode in silence on horseback through the forest of Everi, glancing to a map she had brought along, making sure she was still on course, heading to the main part of the woods. She had started her search for the senshi and knights, who she hoped would be able to stop her brother and very estranged mother. She stopped her horse for a moment, glancing around the woods, trying to choose the best direction to head towards. She wasn't used to Everi, growing up mainly in or around the Council. Gaia sat in a tree nearby, watching the birds silently. She admired them, noticing how they all managed to find some way to get along, no matter how different or odd each looked. Too bad those of Aria couldn't get that figured out.. Iviana yawned, stretching out along a nice rock next to the river. She smiled as Kia splashed around in the river, chasing after fish and frogs and who knew what other little critters. "I hope you catch something Kia, or else we won't be eating tonight." Iviana teased, smiling. She rolled onto her back then, looking up at the cloud-less blue sky. *What a gorgeous day it is today...* Iviana thought, letting her face soak up the sun's warm rays. Phulan sits quietly under a tree. She watches the light dance upon the ground through the shade of leaves. *Bored bored bored* she thinks, hoping that something more interesting would happen . Juline came up to a river, her horse stepping casually into the water, stopping to get a drink. Juline glanced around, then looked at her map again. She noted where the river was on there, a smile coming to her face. She then looked up, hearing laughter from up ahead. Gaia watched the hors! e and woman in the river, then looked upstream, catching sight of a two elves, one definitely younger than the other. She sat up, getting comfortable. This was going to get interesting. Ivi sat up, stretching. "Lookit lookit what I found!" Kai yelled, running up to Ivi. "What what what?" Ivi laughed, as Kai opened her hands. "Oh Kai that's a Venus Shell. It's suppose to bring good luck." She said, taking out a long string of leather from her pocket. She slid the shell onto it and tied it around Kai's neck. "It'll bring you good luck." Ivi said, poking Kai's nose. Kai sneezed and giggled, then cocked her head and turned to the side. "Look Ivi. People!" Kai smiled, waving her arms. Ivi looked up and smiled herself. "Wow. All the way out here." She waved too. Phulan stretched a bit and deciding that it was about time to eat, got up and looked around. *It would be more fun if I could get food for free* She thought to her self with a smirk. Hearing faint voices, Phulan turned in the direction of the river. Smirk becoming a bit wider, she started to head off in that direction. The young elf-demon took great care to move in shadows and getting close to the river, she stops and watches the two elves seeming to have fun. *wonder if they got any food* is Phulan's thought as she slowly moves closer. Juline waved, turning her horse to them and heading over, "Hello to you both," she smiled, "I was wondering if you knew where the main town is in the forest.. I must admit I don't usually travel out here and I'm a little lost." Gaia watched, sliding down from the tree she was in and crouching on the ground. She slowly stood up, her senses making her look around, but she didn't spot anyone else. *Oh well, I know someone's there... just give them enough time and they'll make themself known.* Ivi smiled, Kai running over to hide behind the Elf's legs. "Well sure, it's-" Ivi blinked and looked down as Kai tugged at the hem of her pants. Ivi leaned down as the little Elf whispered in her ear, then smiled to the woman. "I'm sorry, the little one here is a bit hungry. Would you like to join us for some lunch?" Ivi smiled. Phulan perks up her ears a bit a hearing the word lunch. *Oh good food and soon.* The elf demon stays close to the shadows and rocks but stops short as she realizes that there is a third party. She frowns a bit as she realizes that it might be harder to get food now so she sits quietly, waiting for her chance to steal and maybe play a prank on the three. "Oh.. I'd love to," Juline smiled, as she dismounted from her horse. She walked closer, leading the animal behind her, "I'm Juline, by the way. What is your and the little one's names..?" Gaia watched this, seeing how they were all getting along. Odd enough in her own mind, but she kept silent. It was better to watch and figure what was going on, before running out and announcing her arrival. Iviana smiled as Kai crept out and smiled up at Juline. "This is Kai, and I'm Iviana." She said, then knelt down and pulled Kai around to face her. "Could you go and fetch the fish for me Kai? And some berries while you're at it?" Ivi asked, poking Kai's nose. The little Elf smiled, nodded, and ran off. Ivi watched her, a sad smile on her face. In mid yawn Phulan coughs as she hears that there "is" no food ready yet. Exasperated, Lanie jumps up on the rock and frusteratedly says "What?? No food yet? How do you expect a thief to steal anything then?? I mean really!" She places both hands on her hips and impatiently starts tapping her foot. "Do you really think thieves have all day?" Juline had been ready to ask Iviana a question, as another voice interrupted. She put a hand over her mouth, laughing lightly, as Phulan yelled her impatient remark, "All are busy, but perhaps you may join us as a friend and not a thief..?" She looked to Iviana, "If it's alright with you." Gaia watched, enjoying this. It was odd how they seemed to all be getting along considerably well. Iviana raised an eyebrow, then glanced at Juline. "It's alright with me. Just as long as you don't steal anything, or I'd be forced to cut one of your hands off." Iviana gave a small smile, just enough to show that she didn't mean harm. "I'm going to go start a fire, unless you would like to eat outside?" She asked, looking at Juline. Looking at the two in turn, Phulan raises a hand up to scratch the side of her head. She frowns slightly at the the unexpected invitation and not knowing what to do, she gave a shrug "Oh alright. I suppose I won''t steal. T'would be a change anyway," A rogueish smile spread across her lips as she came closer to sit with the strangers. |
