Group RP The Deep Trenches RP Thread

"Well... I don't know to be honest. The only thing I know about this thing is that it can bring back Atlantis when it is together with the other orbs," Marina looked at the orb, but kind of hoped that it could bring back the dead too.

She then snapped back into reality when Marco began to speak. "Anyway, it shot the ray out to the east. Maybe it's trying to say something like we should be heading there?"

"Well, the lucky thing is we're going back to Myriad City anyway so we can pass by there before going to the east," Marina nodded. "This should lead us to more clues."

 

The group marched back to Myriad City, and the rest of the way was uneventful. The last battle they had really strained each and every one of them so regaining their strength was a must if they were to press on in this journey. As the group approached the gates, they were quickly surrounded by cavaliers.

"By orders from the Duchess of Merlourn, you four must come with us to the Natyln Castle."

 

"Are you trying to question the orders of the Duchess herself?" One raised a brow at Zaria. He then sighed. "The Duchess wishes to speak with Marco and those who were responsible for the dissolution of the Scarlet Wolves."

The cavalier nearest to Erik opened his mouth, "Who is this 'hooded person' that you speak of?"

 

(@Tala isn't Zaria from Invidia? Which pretty much means they all come from the same kingdom...)

The cavalier who was speaking to Erik was confused but pushed his thoughts aside. The one talking to Zaria seemed unfazed by her actions. "We already gave you the reason. You wouldn't want to keep the Duchess waiting, right?"

 

(@ChocoChicken Right, I seem to have forgotten that - thanks for reminding me!)

"I mean, I don't see why we shouldn't," Marina spoke, her voice as quiet as possible. Her mind still hazy, she wondered what Erik was talking about. "What fight? I'm sorry, I feel like we've been through so many battles already that I don't know which one you are referring to."

 

Marina felt like a fire was lit up in her when Erik mentioned Alex as her eyes widened. "Oh, right. There's still the matter of his sudden transformation... I still don't know what causes it though."

Nodding to Zaria's reply, the cavaliers began to show the group the rest of the way. "Natlyn Castle is quite the travel from Myriad and there is the risk of monsters attacking from the poisonous river. However, there is a stable bridge connecting us to the other side so it shouldn't be a problem."

"About that river... it is no longer poisonous," Marina objected, recalling their latest experience with the river.

One of them turned towards her, the cavalier's look full of disbelief. "Bah, even God of Earth Viridion would not be able to purge the seas of its darkness and poison."

"That's because water is not his affinity... you just said so yourself," the Atlantisian muttered, chuckling lightly.

 

"We'll pass by that area anyway so we can check it again," the cavalier replied, "and I just don't think that's possible."

The trip to the Natyln Castle was uneventful, as the cavaliers predicted. However, they were nearing the bridge, and it was inevitable that they would take notice of the sudden change.
