Shady Streets

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Alka placed a paw on Draconos' shoulder. "Greif is no easy burden to bare. But, for the sake of those who depend on you, you must learn to bare it. I can grant you the strength to overcome your anger, but it is ultimately you who must restrain your base emotions for the sake of what is good." Alka took a few steps back and extended a paw towards Draconos. "If you feel ready, grab my paw and feel the light cleanse your spirit."

[Razuel]

Draconos put his paw on Alka's, his own clearly much bigger than Alka's, "It didn't start happening until after my wife passed away and my son hatched... it went away when my son hatched... but I suppose it was staying dormant for all of that time..."

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Alka closed his eyes and his paw began to glow. The wolf began chanting in an unknown language, and as he chanted, the light energy in Alka's paw began to flow into Draconos'. The world suddenly began to feel warmer, and despite all the terrible things that were happening, the optimistic view that everything was going to be alright suddenly didn't seem so idealistic.


((Note: the spell does not remove the grid, it just makes it easier for Draconos to repress it. Alka can't do that within this realm.))

[Razuel]

((A MAP has been finished: https://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=34762.msg1933034#msg1933034 )

Draconos felt... lighter, or at least his mind did... he still felt grief for that his child was missing still, but believed that the grid would never return, to which he smiled at Alka, "Thank you so much! Er... I don't think I caught your name before... may I have it?"

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

"I am the 59th incarnation of Wasi, Guardian to the light. I go by Alka." The wolf disconnected his paw from Draconos. "I hope you find your child soon. If you give me a description of him, I'll return him to you should I come across him."

[Razuel]

Draconos sat down and thought, "My memory has gotten worse over the years... but in short, he's much smaller than me... maybe about the size of an infant... and he has a large glowing stone on his chest...", Draconos then looked back to his home in the distance, "Sadly, I can't look for him right now... I love him, however, I'd prefer to not have a revolt once he came home... so I need to get that sorted...", Draconos got up and got himself ready to fly, "If you find him... I will appoint you a position in my court... or allow you to make a shrine atop my mountain... if you choose to."

[Farewell]

(I've considered leaving this RP. Every time I'm busy there's so many posts, I won't though because that's just how I am -w-)

Zaida dismounted her horse allowing it to roam freely through the city. At this point the monstress wasn't quite sure what to do now. "Where are you..." she murmured while looking around. Eventually she approached strangers, asking about a winged wolf in the city.

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Alka shook his head. "I'm simply here to do good. I need no recognition for it." The wolf took a seat, preparing himself to meditate some more. "Just remember; the grid is still within you. But now, it is your choice whether to use it or suppress it."


((Just a note Zaida, most people will point you towards Crystal peak. It's a fairly large climb, but there are stairs carved into the outside spiralling up to the top))

[Farewell]

(Ah Ok. Thanks for the info.)

One after another each anthros pointed towards a crystal peak. Surely if they all had the same response it had to be certain. The monstress made her way towards it, the peak towering over her. With a small sigh she started to walk up the stairs.

[Razuel]

((If you do leave Zaida, make your absence in the roleplay believable instead of being in a conversation and the poof in away.))


Draconos nodded and let off the peak, catching air in his wings and flying home to Peak Ulrith.

[Shoon]

((I don't really understand the map))

Shoon looked around and began to climb a tree and prepare for lacars arrival.

[Razuel]

((The blob of colours in the middle is Crystalinz, it looks like that because it's an aerial view.


In the top is Ulrith, top left is Peak Ulrith, top right is the monk temple.


Far right is the militia region of Cratzlen.


Bottom left is Port Rotzland, below that is the Protz base, which is underwater.


Any green area is trees, so all be it there are clearings, not much can be seen on the map for landmarks other than the cities.))

[Lacar Lacrest]

Lacrest walks over to were Geoff once was and bent down"he was here for a bit, he's heading to ulrith"I say after seeing the direction of his prints.

[The Past]

Geoff glanced at his compass as he trudged along through the woods. His map was in one of the front pockets of his backpack but he didn't feel the need to stop and reach for it. Aside from a few trips to Crystalinz with his family, Geoff never went so far north from Rotzland, let alone walked there, but he knew where Peak Ulrith was -- can't really miss a massive mountain range straight in the north. The trouble was all the dense trees and hilly terrain that led you astray if lacking attention. If his memory served right, the city of Ulrith was near the northwest coast. He pondered if he should head there first or go straight to the Peak. He opted for the latter for now.
Focusing got difficult the longer the bear trekked; he found himself wandering in the wrong direction a few times and his vision was blurring. Time to set up camp and let the kid stretch out. Perfect timing as he was right by a creek.
He stopped beside it, gently set the bag down, and lifted Raz out with care in case he was sleeping. "hey, kiddo." he spoke quiet, setting him on the ground. "We're not there yet, it's time to get some rest..."

The sleeping bag was the soiled item, and thankfully only a tiny bit. He scrubbed out the soiled bit in the creek, making sure not to get the rest of the bag soaked, whipped it in air to help dry it, then laid it on a smooth area. As long as it didn't get too cold or rainy, he may not need to get the tent out. It might seem safer with one anyway, but the time it took to set it up and fold back could spell trouble in a pinch.

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Once Draconos took off, Alka took a deep breath out. "There's one problem solved..." The wolf closed his eyes as he began to meditate. His halo appeared above his head, as light energy flowed into and out of him freely.
