Malachi had not been too entirely surprised that Vaeril had entrusted him with the aerokinetic. Having done some reading, he knew air magic could be tricky and Vaeril tended to challenge Malachi. However, he had not foreseen how much of a nuisance the human would be. Without fail, daily the young human tried to escape. In Malachi's opinion, he was unwilling to accept reality to the point of idiocy. River Port thankfully had been a short trip from their origin. One of his companions was Enstille, a light elf similar to him in nature, Malachi was initially grateful to have a quiet companion. But soon, Malachi found himself taking issue with Enstille's tendency to stare at things too long or get lost in a book too often.

The second issue was the worst part about Enstille: It was as if Enstille had never gone outside in his life. Malachi had even accused him of such after noticing his struggle with long-distance walking. He was one of the most out-of-shape individuals he had seen in his life, next to Jun, which was a whole other can of worms. Luckily enough with some questioning, Malachi found out Enstille was at least decent in terms of magical skill, especially with his shielding skill. As a result, he assigned Enstille guarding duty, especially when they were out and about, knowing he needed to be ready to shield Jun at any given moment.

Lastly, there was Zion, a towering lion demihuman with a disposition as warm as his frame. He had a love for hugs and an outgoing personality that was sometimes too much for Malachi. However, Malachi decided to ignore his drawbacks as it was important they had someone with athletic ability to aid him in a battle if the situation called for it. Malachi had no doubt Zion could hold his own just from the look of him.

Then there was [i]Jun.[/i] Malachi couldn't help but roll his eyes whenever he thought of Jun. The guy was completely delusional and, to make matters worse, he had the physical fortitude of a twelve-year-old girl. There had been attempts over the week to start teaching Jun how to control his magic, but it wasn't the most productive considering he was mostly attempting to run away half the time. Thanks to Jun's antics, it took a day and a half to reach River Port when normally the travel time would have simply been a day.  

As they arrived in River Port, the briny aroma of the sea and the dampness in the air filled their nostrils. he high-pitched cries of seagulls resonated through the busy port town, adding to the bustling atmosphere. The humble [url=https://taleofpainters.blogspot.com/2016/07/review-tabletop-world-townhouse-ii.html]buildings[/url] that lined the cobbled streets appeared to be mainly residential, with families and individuals of various species coming and going. The architecture was simple, but with a charm that spoke to the town's seaside culture. Malachi did treat them to lunch on the boardwalk at the beach, but then immediately took them back to a small summer home that belonged to Malachi's mother. Luckily enough, she was not currently using it. 

The cozy and quaint interior of the house accommodated each of them with their own bedroom. Malachi, being who he was, wasted no time in requesting everyone's assistance in cleaning up the place. He noticed the obvious neglect of the house and his mother's absence in maintaining it. He figured she must not have traversed down here in a while. With a stern look, he delegated tasks to each member of the group, including Jun, who had a habit of running away. Malachi resorted to spraying him with water, like a disobedient cat, whenever he misbehaved. To his credit, Zion remained patient and calm despite his youth, and Malachi tasked him with trying to reason with the strange human.

[hr]

It was a spring morning in Apurel, a week later from when the four had begun their travel, that Malachi had knocked his fist on the wall by the staircase.  [color=5BA6F7]"All of you. Up!"[/color] He called up the stairs unceremoniously. Malachi listened intently, waiting for the sound of movement from upstairs, then he knocked again impatiently. [color=5BA6F7] "I swear if they're still in bed.."[/color] He grumbled to himself. 

[color=5BA6F7] "Come on, we have a long day ahead of us,"[/color] he called out, his voice a mix of impatience and determination. He waited a few moments longer, his foot tapping on the hardwood floor as he grew more and more irritated by the second. It was then he felt his wrist start to vibrate. With a groan, he then answered the call and glared at the hologram of Drosis with a judgmental grimace. 

He hung up before Drosis could even finish talking.
