Who: Anyone welcome. What: Starts with Juniata Nlakmir-Drevin leaving her childhood behind her in search of bigger things. Where: Barren Plain on Ajita, NNW of Nlakmir Forest. When: Night/Morning, Mia, Day 32/33, Year 81379 (4). Rated: PG13 (I don't really know what will happen). (Hey dudes I don't care about what order you post in.) It was nighttime. Juniata Nlakmir-Drevin was tossing in her bed. She couldn't let herself drift off to sleep, not tonight. She had planned it through as not to scare anyone as she made her final journey away from the Nlakmir Forest. Respected females were not meant to leave. But there was not rule to confirm this. There was the sign. An armada of small pink flowers were drifting through the wind. A sign from her closest friend that her 'mother' was asleep. Of course, she may not be her mother. That was just the most likely. Her eyes were the same shade of deep blue. But there was no time to reminisce about that now. Juniata hurried over to the NNW end of the forest. The gate, it wa called by the young children. It was thus named becuase of two trees bent over by Ghetty Nlakmir-Thalia in rage. It formed the perfect exit. Before leaving, she had one thing to do. Using the most of her tired Elemental powers to create the worlds most beautiful water fountain. <span style='color:purple'>To Shigo, for being my friend. Remember me by this.</span> And, without another word, she ran her fastest before making a liftoff. She flew quickly as not to turn back. A few hours later, she was flying over a barren plain. Tired and hungry, she set down. And suddenly cried out, <span style='color:purple'>"I don't know anyone!"</span>
Juniata awoke, tired, hungry and sorry for herself. Part of her wished she had never left the forest, but clear thinking told her she had to. There was no way she could change the world frm inside a small cluster of plants and pendragons. But, on the other hand, being stuck on a barren plain was not the best of situations either. She could not fly again, being much too tired for that. When one is tired, thirsty, hungry, and stuck in a scorching desert, they generally begin to hallucinate, see mirages. Juniata is was no exception. There, she could see a group of young pendragons dancing and eating nakamal, a delicacy in the forest. Quickly, she moved towrds them, only to discover that upon closer inspection that nothing was there. Calling upon her tired elemental abilities, she conkured up some water to drink. That would have to do until help came.

His wings were folded on his back neatly, giving him a strange, almost noble look. He turned on his heel to his right and continued walking. He came out here to clear his head, but it just wasn't working. He heard a sound- faint and fleeting, and far-off, but unmistakeable. A thill's voice, it seemed. He ran and jumped into flight, gliding smoothly at about one hundred feet. It was not hard to find what he was looking for. In such a barren, flat place, a ground-bound 'dragon stood out quite a bit. Del circled a few times to lose altitude, then alighted as silently as he flew, his shadow falling over the thill. He was almost artfully haloed by Ramath-lehi's three moons, his eyes and the silver bits of his fur mixing beautifully with the moonlight's color. <span style='color:silver'>"Are you alright...?"</span> He questioned with an air of concern.
Juniata glanced upwards towards a voice. It belonged to a young male. "I think so, got any food?" Normally, Juniata would have asked more politely (greatly enforced in the forest) but she was desperate. She stood to see him eye to eye. The three moons of Ramath circled him. "My name is Juniata. I come from the forest of Nlakmir. And you?"
<span style='color:gray'>"A'delos Syn'kata. you can call me Del."</span> He said. A cool night breeze ruffled Del's naturally spikey hair as he dug into a large bag that hung from his right hip. He managed to produce a small loaf of bread and a canteen of water (his snack for the trip home) and offered them to the Thill. He sat down to the female's right, looking up at the three moons. He raised a single finger to point at the largest of the three, <span style='color:gray'>"Xabu."</span> he said shortly. <span style='color:gray'>"Its very large tonight."</span> he said, wrapping his arms around his legs and resting his chin on his knees. <span style='color:gray'>"I'm not an astronimer, but I'd bet that little blue star, there..."</span> he muttered, directing his finger at a blueish star, <span style='color:gray'>"...is actually Telkan, the water planet."</span> he concluded, flopping over onto his back with a slightly muffled thud. He looked up at the millions of stars. <span style='color:gray'>"You just don't see stars like this in the city, you know?"</span> he noted off-handedly, folding his hands behind his head.
<span style='color:purple'>"I woldn't know. I've never been outside the forest before. And I probably won't go back in. Thanks for the bread, by the way."</span> Juniata bit into the bread. It felt so good, her powers were flooding back into her.<span style='color:purple'>"But I know about Telkan. It helps summon water and ice. I'll give you a demonstration."</span> She closed her eyes to concentrate and cast some water from the sky. As it was falling, she turned her head towards it, and blew on it. (Author Note: I can't think of a word there! D'oh!) Accordingly, it turned to ice. She caught it, and presented it to Del. <span style='color:purple'>"So, whadd'ya think?"</span>
He tilted his head, obviously finding her near-immidiate recovery mildly unusual. <span style='color:gray'>I think...</span> He said slowly <span style='color:gray'>That I prefer air magic.</span> he said smiling. Still, he knew better than to needlessly waste effort- it had nearly gotten him killed once before, once when The Beast had caught him and a few others unguarded in the woods. He pointed back at the blue star. <span style='color:gray'>although... your statement is debateable... one of the more popular theories is that water and ice if formed by taking water from the air around oneself. What you said seems more along the lines of... religion.</span> He said, accepting her gift graciously, Bowing in such an elegeant fashion that it was a wonder he was not wearing traditional robes.
<span style='color:purple'>"Well, they were heavy on religion and culture in the forest. Besides, having something to believe in really helps. I'm not very good at air magic."</span> Juniata giggled at the memory of flipping up her friends skirt when trying to bring up a simple breeze. Suddenly remembering why she left there, she asked <span style='color:purple'>"Are there any towns or cities nearby? I heard Aurius is nice, but that's so far away..."</span>
Muyne whispered to her self, <span style='color:purple'>"Here goes nothing."</span> She cast a teleportation spell, and found herself at dusk on a rolling plain. <span style='color:purple'>"Why didn't I tell myself where I was going? Stupid, stupid, stupid,"</span> she ranted angrily. She spun around, to see if there was any life here. She squinted. There was two pendragons ahead of her. She decided to walk up to them and ask what was going on.
