Nova, Elendil, and Dorian stepped closer raising their hands in a salute. "I Lady Nova request the gates to be opened, we have survivors from Lithuim." She answered the two Ent Gate guards. They immediately recognized her as she spoke. Her hair gave it away to be honest. They looked to those behind her and regarded them as the survivors she spoke of. Ishmael and Hotaru included. The Ent on the right looked up to gate house. With a loud voice it called to the elves inside it. "Open the gate, Lady Nova returns with survivors, notify the Queen!" A couple seconds later the gates began to open and the people were greeted with a welcome committee formed by Elven Pikeman. These elves like others ere in gold armor. A elf captan emerged to greet them but he stopped mid way. "Where is Captain Avalon and Lady Ariol?" Nova frowned at his question and he rose a hand seeing the answer on her face. "Never mind,.... Where are the other survivors?" He asked. Nova looked behind her and back at him. "These are the survivors. Or are you talking about the others that were with me?" She answered. The Captain nodded and replied with." Our Eagle Scouts told us and the queen that Kyalia the Exhile, Fenn The White Witch, and Cassandra The Rogue was spotted with you. We expected to see them." He paused waiting for her answer. "Well they were afraid that you would not allow them inside due to...." She was cut off by a raised hand. "Normally we would have, but the smoke from Lithium changes everything. Do you know where they went or where they are staying? I inquire because the Seer council and the Queen both would like a meeting with them, correction all of you." He asked. Nova nodded and he rose another hand gesturing and a elf warrior came forth to stand by him. He then turned to face the very elf. "I want you to pick four of these Pikeman to come with me and Nova, the rest will prepare housing for these survivors and our allies." He said. The warrior nodded and pointed to four Pikeman and performed some sort of sign language and they stepped forward and then moved out of formation to join them. The rest were then ordered in the same manor to escort the survivors including Ishmael and Hotaru to the places where they would stay. The Captain then nodded to Nova. "Take us to this spot..." He said and Nova, Elendil, and Ariol both turned and moved back in the direction that they had come. ------------ Hotaru was in awe of everything and even more surprised as to the reactions and words of the man who seemed in charge at the moment. It would seem the elves where putting all past judgements and feelings towards certain people on hold. There must be some meaning to it that she was certain she would learn when the others arrived. When the elves began to escort her inside she saw how much the stories were true, the elven city was breathe taking as the sun gave each building a blue hue and floral growth was everywhere. It was as if the elves left the land intact and just built into it or around it. They even had cherry blossom trees. "This place is like heaven...." She found herself saying. One of the elves escorting them looked to her and smiled proud of her compliments. However she froze as she saw a familiar face. A man began to approach them. He had black hair and black robes. His smile was inviting and his sight much to her liking. She smiled and looked down to Danny. "Danny, I would like you to meet Wol Ryung" she said. Danny furrowed his brow and looked up. "Whose that?" The boy asked. She answered with two words."My father.." Danny looked back at the man. ------------ Wol Ryung was helping out one of the elven weavers when suddenly he was approached by a elf man carrying a bow. "Ryung, your daughter Hotaru, she is at the gate as we speak." He told him and he looked in the gates direction and saw that it had opened and sure enough there was his Hotaru. She carried her staff and stood beside a tall man in shiny armor. Also with her was a young boy which made him raise a brow. He took notice of the people behind her as well and he figured they were refugees. He rose up to full hieght and decided to go meet with his daughter. He noticed her reaction when he began to approach as the elves escorted her in. This made his smile ever bigger. He could not resist in lifting her up in a big hug. "Welcome my little Hotaru..." He said as he placed he back down. "Who is this young man?"
