[i][h3][center][b][color=fff200]Al-Marabar, Sand King Arena - Throne Platform[/color][/b][/center][/h3][/i] [color=aba000]"Then it is decided. Also I give you permission to accompany the elf, it seems to me she may be in need of some"[/color], which left Garrick to join the forward group to pursue the attackers. The Sand King after his proclamation would get up, and walk around behind his throne towards the building,[color=aba000] "this meeting is adjourned, you know your tasks, I will see to mine"[/color], he said. One would presume it was to do with the inner workings of the city, though details of such for now would remain known only to Axom and his crew. The young looking Shaitan Rajeev would step forward now in place of Axom, and help direct Garrick to the hangar bay where some of the crew was going, and then turn to Kazue to take her to where he had intended, with Ken following close behind as he had decided [hr] [b][color=fff200]Al-Marabar, Docking Bay[/color][/b] [@Rezod92] If he followed the instructions he would soon find himself in a large docking facility built into the city. Unsurprisingly, they arrived rather quickly, seeing as it was made to be connected to the Sand King's own headquarters within the city. A tactical structural decision. [i]"Garrick, sir, please board the sand skiff. Our scouts that had been tracking the two thieves, we'll simply be following them in tow as reinforcements. They've been told not to engage, so hopefully we'll end up meeting with them to coordinate an assault"[/i], the Radiant Sun member informed the cryptid, though with a little bit of nervousness. Afterall, Garrick to the untrained eye would appear no more than a monster, and he was quite large to boot. [hr] [b][color=fff200]Underhull, Mayleaf Orphanage[/color][/b] [@Letter Bee][@Renose] The young Shaitan led Kazue and Ken down into the Underhull, a shadowy underground part of the city, where some of the oldest ships that made up the city's architecture were. The darkness and maze-like nature of this layer of the city made it the ideal place for many to hide out, and for awhile it seemed as if he might lead the two somewhere unsavory. Those thoughts would be put to rest though as the darkness lent way to a warm light down the wooden narrow path, until it opened up to a dilapidated looking wooden building, or rather, it might be easier to call it an oversized shack. As the group approached, the door would slowly slide open. Their eyes would look for someone, but not find them until they looked down, to see the eyes of a small child. After but a moment, they slammed it shut, and some shouting could be heard from within. [i]"Ms. Mayleaf! Rajeev is here! There's some strange people too!"[/i] After a couple moments, a lady would emerge from those same doors. She had dark hair, caramel skin, and was dressed rather modestly, warm even, especially for the type of nation that Al-Marabar was. Her eyes were a blue and purple hue, and there was a matronly aura about her. In short, she was a mature beauty. [color=a187be]"Rajeev? My, and you've brought some friends too, how are the Suns? I notice the power's been out, is everything ok?"[/color], she asked much like how a mother would, as if he was her son. [color=fdc68a]"It is all under control Ms. Mayleaf, I am here to introduce someone to your care for a short while. You were also once a talented doctor and scientist no? Perhaps you can help her"[/color], it wasn't hard to figure out who he meant, the young elf girl with abnormal arms. While they were all talking, a few kids had come out to get a better look at her too, with such curiosity, especially since she appeared no older than a couple of them. Ms. Mayleaf rested her eyes upon Kazue, she pursed her lips, and her expression changed. Given her pause it didn't look like she knew what it all was, but she seemed rather concerned. Her expression changed back though as she addressed the Shaitan. [color=a187be]"Of course, I'll see what I can do"[/color], she said, walking forward, then kneeling in front of Kazue to have her eyes level. [color=a187be]"So what is your name? And you too young man"[/color], she asked, first looking at the young elf, and then to Ken.
