Set yourself into the vast Lands of legends,
Where beasts of old and God's still walk among men. Where you could pray to a god and they'll appear.
I now bring you to a man that set himself the goal of knowledge of all things considered mystery and...
The sound of teeth clattering and heavy steps in the knee-length snow, the cover of the night sky and howling winter winds bellowing on the mountain of Ysgrammor. The fapping of Fur cloaks can be seen as a man lets out sigh, having the cold air make it visible. 'Just a little further, we're not that far now.' are the thoughts of a young man as he takes a peek behind him at his two shivering comrades and Beast, "We're almost there! Just keep pushing forward!" he shouts,his voice being deep yet almost out shined by the blistering wind, his comrades can be seen having expressions of slight relief on them. The trek forward proved to be fruitful as in the distance, the sight of lanterns in the air signaled to them that they're ever so closer; the silhouettes of various guards patrolling along the 5 meter tall walls, being able to see a few building peeking overhead. Guards of different races and species dressed lightly in chainmail and leather Armour carrying each weapons suited for their unique battle styles. The group of individuals can be seen nearing the large metal gates, two gatekeepers are blocking the entrance, "State your names and purpose within the city!" the guard shouts with a heavy Irish-like accent, through the tough winds, "We've come seeking shelter within your walls, My name is Yugen and my companions here, Riven, Naylue, and Luna." Yugen states as they take off their hoods with Luna beginning to stand on her hind legs, towering over the guards and intimidating them, "Ipsa Gargantua! (It's a Gargantua)" the other guard exclaims in a near fluent Latin dialect, he attempts to raise his weapon, but a mysterious force stops him, "Wha-?!", but he is cut off by a female's voice, "It is best not to take any drastic measures, unless you want this 'Gargantua' to not make you see the light of day again." Naylue says as she slowly lets down her hand, releasing the magic that was withholding the guards weapon, "Thank you very much, and now if you'll excuse us, we'll let ourselves in." Riven says as the guards just watch them pass by but not without getting and intimidating glare from Luna, a low animalistic growl, and Yugen just smiling and waving as the group walk right into the famous city....... Alexandria.
The city, bustling in the night time, candle lit poles lighting up the city streets, the night filled with floating lanterns, held up by magic, and the moon and the stars adding to the light. The city streets bustling with the sight of citizens traversing the ways, the local taverns and street performers blaring their music to the outside world. All manner of beastmen walking amongst the humans. Alexandria, City of One, "*Chuckles*, Seems like we came at the correct time, the festive season is supposed to be around this time aswell." Yugen says, "Doesn't matter, as long as we get some semblance of sleep, I won't care what happens after that." Luna says in an annoyed tone as Yugen lightly elbows her side only for her to send a glare towards him, "Luna is right its best we do get some for of rest, saw a few inns in the distance we could get some rest there, otherwise we sleeping in the cold again." Riven states; they all head in the direction of the inns, purchasing some food from local street vendors. They finally reach a three story wooden and stone building, decorated by banners of various colours with some azure blue glowing lanterns floating right beside the support beams of the inn, with a large sign with writing on it," "Muralite's Sleeping Dovah", interesting choice for a name." comments Naylue as the proceed into the inn. Once inside, they're greeted by loud shouts of men and women alike, music blaring from a band on the stage, everyone drinking to their hearts content, all manner of weapons from the attendees put on shelves to ensure no drunk violent outbursts happening, "Looks like if anyone were to slug it out, no heads rolling or body parts flying atleast." Yugen thinks as he analyses the various amounts of species and dialects of the respective species, Argonions, humanoid-like lizard folk originating from Black Marsh, a land within Tamriel, vampire varients, having the features of pointier ears and a much more youth-like appearance.
The group walk up to the counter top, where the inn keeper 'Muralite' is drying up some cups and plates using four arms including his tail. Muralite's species, known as the Gravaltidor, boast increased physical strength due to the extra four appendages on their upper body and tail, unique horn placements on their heads and thick fur coating their skins, they stand atva staggering 7 feet tall which adds to their intimidating presence the build being buff due to the conditions of their homeland, 'Finoranté' up north of Greater Tamerial. "Geia SAS pelátes, ti boró nag káno gia eśas?" the hulk of a beast asks in more unexpected higher pitched friendly tone, not befitting of his stature, "To translate, he's asking what can he do for us?" Luna translates, as she takes a seat on the floor still being as tall as a normal human, "Hello sir, do you have a room that can accommodate the four of us?" Riven asks, as Muralite's nods his head, "Sigoura, that einai 950 kommátia chrysoú." He responds, "He says it'll be 400 bronze pieces." Naylue translates, Yugen nods and drops down 8 gold pieces. "Was that a version of Greek he ws speaking?",Yugen asks, "Yes it was, seems more to be in their local region but still understandable to normal Greek speakers." Naylue responds as Yugen nods his head and making a small note in his notebook, "ways the little knowledge seeker." Naylue thinks as she forms a small smile from the sight, Riven chortling and Luna just smirking.
The group of four finally reach their assigned rooms with Luna and Yugen heading into theirs and Riven and Naylue next door. The other two set their items down and head towards their leader who is seen stripping himself of weaponry on his body. Riven and Naylue sit around a table with Yugen at the helm and Luna next to him; they look at the map placed on the table in the center, "So what's the plan now? We've managed to enter the city but what are we gonna do now?" Rievn questions as Naylue hums in agreement, "First would have to be some well deserved rest, it's been a long couple of weeks but we need proper rest first, Second would have to be to reach the capital somehow, we enee dto get into the archives or meet the king." Yugen says in a much more serious tone as opposed to his relaxed self," So the goal is the library of Alexandria, do you think we'll find what we're looking for? "Questions Naylue as Luna adds," It can only be, given the information the map and rumors say."," Its the only library that has what we want in this part of the region, so it's better than nothing." Riven says and Yugen nods,"Well that's it for today, get some rest everyone because tomorrow might get busy." Yugen says as Riven and Naylue head off into their room.
Time skip to the morning
The golden glow of the morning sun basks over the city, the beautiful glow on every building, the streets being littered with remnants of the nightly festivities from the previous night, people passed out on the streets and in the dirty alleyways. The once floating lanterns laying flat on the stone brick road. The sun finally decides to show itself as the rays shine onto the eyes of Yugen, who is seen sleeping on Luna, the Gargantua being warm and comfortable to sleep on. The light forceing him to wake up, "Bloody hell man, can't Ra do this thing another time, hate the mornings with a passion." Yugen tiredly grown as he reluctantly gets up. Not knowing what the day will have set for him
