Fire in the city!

[Kinether]

Kinether rode through the streets in the part of Nerai that was slowly being consumed by the fire spread from the house Alkatir hit by lightning. He saw the human-chains made to carry the water from the river to extinguish the fire, but this wasnt enough... almost whole Nerai was build from wood. In the Plains climate and recent weather... dry wood.

He reached several mages trying to hold back the fire. They were standing in front of a house that was already burning...

"How it goes, man? Can you...?"

"We can drain the fire energy straightly from it to "kill" it, sir, but..." he raised his arms against the house and really, the flames were suddenly dying out, disappearing. "...but we cannot accept so much power into our bodies as we suck from it. It would... rip our bodies into pieces." he stepped back, an energy circling around his body.

"Well if all the mages would-..."

"It has almost no use, sir. We can delay it, but we cannot stop it, see..." he pointed on the house. The fire already skipped on it from the houses behind it, continuing in its destructive way through the city.

"But without our numbers!" Kinether extended his own hand against the fire, managing to take the power from it.

"The wizards cant do that sir. it seems that only these who were born as the sorcerers..."

"Damn it!" he felt his body slowly reaching its limits with the energy taken from the fire. "So we cannot extinguish it all? We must find another solution before it eats whole city..."

.................................................

The same problems were solved all around Nerai. The fire was advancing, turning already almost 1/4 of the city into red hell... the people were evacuated from the zones in danger, the army trying to help with passing the water.

.................................................

One of these places was also Nerai´s inn, Black Horse. The flames were already taking it over, inkeeper running in front of it. The mages havent arrived here yet, nor the man-chains to bring the water... At least he tried to warn the others around.

"Get out of here, quickly! if the fire reaches the basement... I got my goods stored in here! If all the alcohol blows up...!!"

((Ajax, your chance to get your whiskey! ...or the whiskey gets you, if youre not quick enough.))

[Alkartir Shadowblade]

Alkartir sighed. It seemed that Nerai was built far too poorly, a single building on fire by a small flame had spread to nearly the whole town. "Put it out, they may be fools, but even fools deserve a better fate." With that, chanting and casting began, sorcerers and wizards working together to make a rainstorm over the town. Alkartir assigned a few Elves to retrieve Denise's weapons, and bring them to her, then he spoke to the adventure group. "We should probably be on our way. The army will leave once we are well away from this place."

[Kinether]

The people were still fighting with the fire, yet not much successfully, when they felt raindrops falling down from the skies.

"A rain?" Kinether looked up with stretched hand. "Yes, its raining!" He smiled when saw that the raining grows stronger. The fire stopped to spread on the wet roofs, the flames were slowly disappearing. "Thanks the gods, were saved!" he let the rain fall on his face with arms wide spread.

"But not Paerai..." he thought for himself.


He rode slowly through the falling rain to the way to the palace in the centre of the city... passing around the citiziens, who danced in the rain happily, like celebrating their luck the rains started... not knowing who caused it.

"It wonderful, not, sir?" he met one guard who was watching the sky in amazement. "The sun is still shining everywhere around here, but it rains over the city... if we got luck, we could see a rainbow..."

"Right, it is..." he stopped for a while, looking around. He welcomed the rain, it was almost a month since it last rained in the plains. Fresh cold water, giving life to the earth and the people... and everything in the Plains.

"Well, Kunrai... were not going anywhere today. I guess there was enough of events... let the others know that tomorrows noon is the time to gather again, ok?"

"Understood."

"Nice. And... if anyone will need a help about their homes, send him to me. Talk to you later!" he tapped the guard on his shoulder and rode to the palace.

[Fenrai]

Fenrai was going through the burned part of the city, this time - unlikely for him - on foot. After he came from Derai, he lived in one small house several streets from there... far inside the zone that suffered from the fire. He knew that theres almost no chance the house may be left untouched, but still...

He passed between what was left from the houses in his neighbourhood, crossed the road and...

"Owh, fine!" he sighted. "Just fine, nothings else." he walked toward a pile of half-burnt wooden girders and ashes. There was almost nothing left from it, all his belongings turned into that black and grey powder.

"Seems this place changed a bit since was here last time..." he said to himself ironically, ducked in front of the pile, passing with hands in the wet ashes.

[sena]

*sena had been following Fenrai, towards the centrum of the city, seeing he w as scared.. with a sigh on her face she lied a hand on his shoulder, the elves had been ok, and she had stored the magcial energy inside of her.. just incase.. she stood closer next to Fenrai and looked to him*

"You can stay at my home Fenrai, and we can start rebuilding yours, i'm a mage.. it whont take real long, 2 weeks on most"

*She gave him a smile she almost never gave, just to calm him, hoping it would help some*

"We can ask the leader of the plains, to give you some gold, to cover the costs of your goods.."

*her voice was still calm and friendly, as she kept trying to help him*

[Lupin]

Lupin comes into the rain, it soaking him, but not caring. He goes to the guard looking at him.

"Are we still fighting?"

[Kinether]

The guard turned on the footmen next to him, looking on him for a while before replied.

"The fighting is over today, we were said theres a rest untill tomorrows noon... then we go to the Plains.

Hey... havent i see you somewhere before?"

[Fenrai]

He turned on Sena, stepping back a bit.

"Stay at your home? ...ummmh... I... dont know... maybe... I can sleep here if it... comes to that, dont need... to bother you with it... or... well... dont know where you live and... so... er-... on... like... urm-" he turned back to the burnt ruins.

"That 2 weeks, I dont know if it wont take longer, cause the wood... maybe only could take it from the forest on west, otherwise it has to come from Quoa...

Dont know..."

[sena]

*she lied her hand on his shoulder again*

"Dont worry, i got a resonble sized house.. and.. who says i need new wood?"

*with a small smile on her face she turned her attention on the ash, closhing her eyes and both her arms starting to get filled with magical, energy.. she send it trough the ashes.. most of it becoming there orginal shape.. some small things, and a door was restoreded.. but sena stood, there breathing some heavier..*

"See.."

[Fenrai]

He stared on the door restoring and run to it to touch it... he couldnt believe that its solid?

"How did you..." he turned back on her, seeing shes exhausted by doing that. "Um... let it be, I dont need it stand immediately... maybe dont need it even, I wasnt in here like months and I suppose that wont be again, so... are you allright?"

[sena]

"I'm alright.. 10 minuts to catch my breath and then i could do something like this again.. but still Fenrai, home is home.. "

*sena looked to the restored things and smiled looking to fenrai*

"I'll explain how it works.. in everything are little peaces, in those little peaces are even more little peaces.., of every object those little peaces are just that bit differnt, i use this magic to put those differnt little peace together again in its orginal form.."

*She smiled.. and sighed*

"Speaking about magic, .. it was no natural rain that saved the village fenrai.., it was a rain made by the elves.. we should ally with them.. there power.. i would love to learn from it.. there so wise.. so powerfull.. if i could make a cloud like that.."

*Sena sighed.. and looked to him*

"Sorry, i just.. kinda envy the elves"

[Fenrai]

"Envy the elves what? I dont see much to envy them. Maybe they can do more things by... magic or what, but what it would do in the hands of chiefs of the villages... somethink like in the ones of who started this!" he looked around the burned part of the city.

"And if they all behave so... arrogant, I will much rather stay with the people in the plains." he murmled for himself half-understandably.

"But yes, maybe it would be good for you to learn something from them..." he walked around the door, looking on it once again "...youre smart... and nice... I believe wont use it in the way they did.

Maybe you should go to talk to the other mages and show them this, maybe they could restore part of the city using this powers... but..." he yawned longly "I think it was enough for today... guess youre tired too... let this be, still I think I will be off from here tomorrow. ...would you mind if I slept that one night... somewhere like... well... urm... you know..."

[Lupin]

Lupin looks at the guard, he can remember seeing him before.

"Hmm I was counting on a fight but ow well. I don't know if we met before,"

[Colarian]

The city was in a terrible state when Colarian arrived. No wonder he felt drawn here, the scales had been terribly tipped out of favor of the plains humans. He could make out the Elves in the distance. Two towns, one half-burnt, the other poised on the borders of Elvandir, they're at war with most of the world, and to top it off, they have a weak army. Colarian set out to find their leader.

[sena]

*Sena stood there smiling, and understanding why he lashed back out, it wasent a nice thing the elves had done and she could understand h felt hate, he lost his horse..*

"The mages here only have Fire magic's they would bring the ashes back to live instead of restoring them to there former something.. no.. i can only do it i think.."

*Sighing abit sena smiled and handed Fenrai a key*

"Just walk to the rich district, there second street on the left, and then numbers 102, if you forget just ask the house of the daughter of elina, or just the house of sena, i'll join you soon.. lets see if i can get some.. usefull mages here."
