Gians of Giri

First Death In Giri

Around cade 154 sev 2, Theon was asked to visit Kransi. He had received a strange communication from Frosk. At first, he assumed Frosk was just dealing with the interchra relationship between Froskahns. The purples, other known as Pardea, were often a big annoyance in their war-loving ways. It was not, however. At least not in the way that Theon thought. Their conversation went like this:

"Theon, I need you to come. I don't know what to do. It...its horrible. I don't know how to explain it."

"Whoa, slow down, what is it?"

"Frosna isn't moving and she isn't breathing and I don't know what is going on. Please come and help me if you can!"

"I'm coming. I'll be there soon."

"I'm in the Ice Maze by Fyki's prison. I'll meet you at the entrance." Theon sighed as the communication went off. He wanted to stay in Phankes and mingle with the public a little more - the teachers were very nice and he liked to talk with them - but Frosk did need help. Theon flew in the air to Kransi and to where Frosk said he was. At the entrance of the tunnel, Frosk met him. He was pacing, and was more worried than Theon had ever seen him. Frosk's eyes lit up when he saw the mind gian.

"Oh, thank you for coming." Frosk hugged the older gian in greeting. He was very relieved.

"Where is the trouble?"

"This way." Frosk lead him inside. They went down several hallways and twists and turns. They went down a couple flights of ice stairs. There was a medium sized cave that they entered into. There was multiple Froskahns in the room. There were two purple-skinned that Theon knew. They opposed to the war and fought for peace. There were four blue-skinned. The other seven were white-skinned Froskahns. One of the seven was laying down on a long ice bench, a long spear in her chest. There were five kids crowded around her, one of them a blue and the others white. One of the boys rose when she saw Theon.

"Are you Theon?" He asked. "Frosk said he was going to get a gian named Theon."

"I am Theon." Theon replied. "Can you explain what happened?"

The boy nodded. "I'm Akin. As you might know, this is Frosna. We were fighting together against a Pardea raid. She was fine one moment, but then." Akin looked at Frosna. "She fell. We don't know what happened. This hasn't happened before and we didn't know how to respond. We have a small community, as we like to travel. All the people you see here." Akin gestured around the room. "Is our traveling group. I am her oldest son and I love my mother very much. Can you help one of my pachi?"

"I will do the best I can." Theon said, promising to do as much as he could. The two little girls in the front moved a bit to the side so Theon could kneel next to the bench. He reached for the spear and slowly removed it. He gave it to Frosk, who handed it to one of standing men. Theon touched the temples and tried to communicate with the mind inside. All he felt was cold, confused, and afraid. He felt it as if from a distance. He pulled away and Frosk touched his shoulder.

"Hey, are you alright? You looked scared."

"I tapped into Frosna's emotions." Theon explained. "She...doesn't seem to be in the body. The emotions felt very far away."

"Hey, look!" One of the younger girls pointed. Standing at the entrance was none other than Frosna.

"How-how is that possible?" One of the two white Froskahn men said. He stumbled toward her. "Frosna, is that you?"

Frosna looked at him, then turned and ran up the stairs. The man ran after her. Akin and three of the white Froskahn that had been sitting ran after him. Theon hurried after them. Around a corner, he stopped to see the man who had spoken to Frosna kneeling on the ground. Akin and the other three Froskahn surrounded him. As Theon walked closer, he could hear the man speak.
