[b]Julia[/b] Julia listened to the concerning reports that Kat, Laoveen and Kiyu had to offer. It seemed a lot was happening in recent times. Things that weren't normal and shouldn't be happening. Phoenixes fighting dragons and Winter Phoenixes, Griffins attacks dragons, suspicious people being seen and the city leaking out more magic than normal. It wasn't long before all eyes were on her. She looked around before giving a quick nod. "Before I make my report I will go to the library and get the necessary files." Julia closed her eyes and she quickly disappeared. She reappeared in front of the library and went inside to sit herself down on the table. She knew exactly what she was looking for but she also wanted to check up on something. "Bring me the file on the last elder worm sighting." A single file appeared in front of her. She looked it over before putting it to the side. Julia grabbed the file then teleported back to the others as soon as she got outside of the library. With having the right file, she could make a full report about what happened 25000 years ago when an elder worm appeared. She opened up the file before quickly flipping through it. After a moment of silence, she spoke with her head still buried in the file. "Okay then.....so the last elder worm sighting was 25000 years ago. Someone had been attacking the Tree of Life trying to kill it but the natural guardians of the tree of life, Gods who once lived in this world protected it. The aggressor decided that the best way to destroy the tree of life was to cast a powerful curse upon it. A curse called the Black Sanctum Mist. It is an extremely powerful curse which produces a black mist which acts like a living predator draining the life out of everything it touches. This almost destroyed the Forest of Life as well as the Tree of Life, including Rethynth himself. Many worlds died, the gods thought that only other gods could cast such a powerful curse and so they turned on each other. A war broke out, a War of Gods. While they fought against each other more and more worlds died, the gods grew weaker and eventually, they died themselves. With no gods around anymore to save the Tree of Life, the lalafell saw no other choice than to step in themselves. They weren't confident that they could save the Tree of Life, to do what was originally the job of a God but they managed to cure the forest and saved the tree. Even though worlds died the tree survived. It grew back, regenerated and new worlds were born. It was that incident that made lalafell the natural guardians of the Forest of Life, Tree of Life and Rethynth. That is what occurred during the last elder worm sighting. I am not done, however. During our travel through the Forest of Life, I sensed something was wrong. I travelled to Rethynth and tried to speak to him but he went out of control and attacked me and everyone else. Luckily with everyone working hard we calmed him down and put him to sleep. He is in a lot of pain, his emotions are on an all-time high. I believe that the cause of it is due to the cracks. He can feel all worlds connected to them. It is very possible that he is feeling the chaos that is happening in all the worlds or that he is feeling the worlds slowly die out because of the cracks. Whatever the exact reason is, it is causing him to go crazed and attack. Right now he is calmed but he could be affected by it again if left unchecked. That is my final report." Julia took a deep breath then threw the files she had finished reading in the air. With that, they disappeared and went back to the library. She gave a small smile, waiting to see what Kat thought of everything. [b]Kat[/b] Kat listened to all of the reports carefully and gave a short nod. They were all concerning for various reasons. She turned to Laoveen who had asked her a question. What he said was very concerning and it added up. "Yes, there has been more crime as of late. People are becoming more violent and easily angered than normal. What you say is most likely the case and that is concerning." She looked at all three of them before giving a soft sigh. They were going to have to further investigate the incidents around the other cities. If they could find out why all this was happening and find out what caused the cracks then they could start thinking of ways to solve them. Kat stood up and spoke loudly. "Okay, here is what we will do. Kiyu, you mentioned you found a potential ally, a child who has recently become orphaned. Ally or not we should find him and see that he is safe. You also mentioned three possible suspects. We will scout the city for any suspicious activity and see if we can find anyone matching those descriptions. I know of someone else who can help us too, I'm sure they will help. Once we scout the city we can all get ready to leave tomorrow morning. We will go out in three groups of three. Since I we haven’t had time to fully get acquainted with everyone yet I will let you get into your own groups. We will go out and see what We can see. Does anyone have any questions before we end this meeting?" She looked around, waiting for anyone to speak before she went out.
