People seem agitated as you head to the market through the kingdom's busy streets, glancing around worriedly. You hear snatches of conversation as you pass.
"Stole the..."
"It must be...."
"Who else would..."

Aika lands behind you and casually leans against a tree. "Welcome to the Sanctuary."

Cerulean stares at the place in awe, has jaw hanging open. He feels a little queasy from the portal, but he's quickly recovering.

The market is a ways away, and you can see mountains and forests in the distance. But when people see you, they back away and give you looks of fear or glare at you.

Astra blushed and ducked into the shadows avoiding everyone's looked. She glanced longingly at the mountains and forests wishing she could run away there, but she had a job to do. She started walking toward the market trying to keep out of other people's ways as much as she could.

"There you are. Miss Rachelle is waiting for you inside. Aika is dismissed." The girl, Aika, sniffs and flounces off into the house, well, more like a mansion, without waiting for you.

Cerulean bounds after her, running over the smooth grass and gliding over the small stream.

(I randomly felt like describing her friends even though I should have done that earlier. Oops. Sorry-
Jake- He's short-tempered and impatient. He sometimes hit things when he's angry. He's bossy and often pushes people around. He cares about his friends, it's just not obvious. He has pyrokinesis.

Heron- He's selectively mute. Sometimes when he feels anxious he is completely rendered speechless and becomes stone-faced. He prefers to use sign language but doesn't mind talking with his friends. He can be really sweet, but often times brushes his needs away. He's a great blue heron hybrid.

Veronica- She's probably the most energetic and hyper person you'll ever meet. She's really excitable and loud. Some might find her annoying because of the aforementioned traits. But she has a warm heart. She can summon thunder and charge electrons to shock people.)

I shake her hand. "Nice to meet you too, Phoenicia. I'm just going to the library to do some research and thinking about taking some photos along the way. Where are you going?" I ask.

(Ooh, if you want to meet them in the RPG, just hint at me xD And by great blue heron hybrid, do you mean Avian? Because hybrids can only be with humanoids or animals with a human form. Hmm, Veronica reminds me of Santiago...)

She frowns. "I was looking for Soren, but he's probably in trouble again.... He's always in trouble. I haven't seen him in awhile, which is strange, but he usually turns up sooner or later."

He takes you halfway up the mountain, it's an amazing view and you can see so much of the land below you. He lands before he goes any higher, "The winds are too strong, it's dangerous."

I nod and very carefully disembark.
