She had fully comprehended what was going on. Her mind shut down not that the seer was not pushing against her and vice versa. Ona was being carried and for that she grateful. She didn’t think she could walk, even if she tried.

Her hand was clutched tightly around the small item in it. The man had put it there, before he died. The man, one of her own people. She had lost hope that she would ever see anyone like her ever again. Now she was sure she was alone.

That thought filled her head as she closed her eyes and let the man carry her. She didn’t know where they were going but she did not care.

Ona did not exactly sleep so much as simply pass out. She woke to find herself sitting against a wall of some kind. She stood, slowly and looked around. There were people everywhere. Lucius was talking.

She couldn’t help but note it was like he was holding court.

Moving off to the side she took a moment for herself. Lucius mentioned the seer and Ona wrapped her arms about herself. Her hand was still tightly wound around what she had been given. She was almost afraid to look at it.

Around her people talked, murmured and made plans. She was concerned with one thing.

Her fingers opened revealing the small, ornate whistle on a chain. She choked back a soft cry as she stared down at it. It was an Al Mayrin object. Nurlia. The tribe she was supposed to be married into, the marriage was supposed to help bring a truce to the fighting.

Ona bowed her head and her shoulders shook at the memories. Her family, her tribe, the fighting, the slaughter, her capture…It all came flooding back.

She wasn’t even supposed to be here. Not now, not in this time. Yet here she was. Here this was. How or why she did not know but she knew that it mattered.

Ona wiped her face before slipping the necklace on. The cold metal rested against her chest as she tucked it into her dress.

Something else was bothering her but she couldn’t put her finger on it. Something poking at the back of her mind but she could not pinpoint what it was.

Swallowing she walked over to where Lucius stood. He was proposing that they strike out, find the seer. She shivered a little.

There was no question though, she would go with him and face this other seer. Some questioned a plan, some simply gave their arm to the cause. Ona did nothing more than put her hand on Lucius' arm, letting him know she was there and on his side.

Okay will work on a post for Ona this weekend. Gourmet if you have anything else I need to know regarding her object or anything in particular can you message me? Going to have her spending some time looking at it as well as pondering that little bothersome feeling she is having.

Onatha is staying with Lucius. He found her, he is her connection to everything and now she has a purpose.

Counter attack for Ona.

Here are my bullet points

-yay for a link to all pads
-happy to have a list of factions/nations, etc
-having a short list of player and character for easy reference would be a good idea, perhaps in the same location with the pad links so people can quickly reference who is where/doing what
-short posts with more character interaction rather than bogged down with overly descriptive paragraphs are preferable to me. I want to read about the place, the smell, etc but my main draw is the characters and what is going on for them.
-looking forward to seeing where the next part takes us and letting Ona figure out this world a bit more as well as finding a place in it. For now she has simply been with Lucius and trying to understand what is going on in a time that is not her own. Now, she has a use to him and others so that gives me more to write/interact more

Onatha-Al Mayrin seer from another time. Found by Lucius in the remnants of an old building.

Odd I have been checking it but nothing has been edited so I thought perhaps there was a new one. I will continue to check.

Will there be a titanpad link sent out soon for working on the party stuff? Just curious since Onatha isn't going alone.

𝒜𝑙𝘵𝒶𝑒𝒶: 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒜𝑔𝑒 𝓸𝘧 ℛ𝑒𝒱𝓸𝑙𝓊𝓉𝒾𝓸𝓃

I would be up or a Titanpad for brainstorming and also for the party for the group to begin to interact. A pad makes it a little easier for dialogue without short posts. Just my two cents.

Onatha was breathing heavy. Lucius was breathing heavy and her eyes were on the blood that was escaping the man’s body.

He was trying to sound reassuring but Onatha didn’t really feel bolstered by him telling her he had had worse. The grimace on his face spoke volumes on both his emotional and physical state in that moment.

Panic and fear set in as she watched Lucius struggle out of their hiding space. Ona followed him. She was at his heels and helping him when it looked like he needed it.

Onatha was busy looking behind them and almost bumped into Lucius as he collapsed. He started banging on the door of the building. She was looking around frantically, watching for anyone who might come out looking for them.
**************
Onatha said nothing but her green eyes were wide with fear and empathy as she helped hold Lucius down and he yelled. His pain was evident and if there was doubt all she had to do was watch the man work on his injuries. The way he dug into Lucius’ flesh was borderline sadistic. If she hadn’t known that the man was trying to help she might have feared more for Lucius’ life.

Ona glanced at the others who helped hold Lucius down. She had no idea who they were but she was glad she wasn’t trying to hold him down on her own. There was no way she could have.

The work was done and as they wrapped Lucius’ wounds Onatha stepped back and away.

This place was strange and frankly overwhelming. The woman, the one who was injured occasionally glared at her and Ona could do nothing but look down at the floor. She turned and faced the wall for a time unable to handle the pain and stares any longer.

She turned, saw the surgery being done to the woman and marvelled that she did not call out in pain.
**********************
Onatha stood near Lucius. She had had very little to say and simply stood by him in silence. She jumped, tense and alert as the woman woke. Ona had survived much over time and she was alert to danger. Her eyes were on the woman and she lightly gripped Lucius’ sleeve.

The woman approached, a frown on her face. Onatha looked on wide eyed for a moment before she looked down and away. She could feel the woman’s eyes on her. Ona had a lot of experience being leered, looked at or scowled at.

The woman asked who she was and Onatha looked up. Her green pupilless eyes focused on the woman.

“I am Onatha.” She inhaled for a moment and then after a moment looked away.
