You cannot wake up if you have already been awake for hours. Here you are, a novel at your side on the highest balcony in your hive palace. And there you have been for many hours. You have been glancing at the abyss that is what lies between you and the cool crisp air you've only tasted a couple times. Those couple times are far too few, you love the outside air. Lately you have been wishing to go up above the water and onto land. Which is preposterous. Plenty of Tyrian bloods live their (short) lives without leaving the waves they were raised in, why would you differ? Oh yeah, that's right... you are slightly unconventional, aren't you? In just about every way. ==> RESIST GETTING A TERRIBLE IDEA You cannot resist, because you already have had the idea and are reaching for the portable husktop Nereid had given you a sweep or so ago. Speaking of a certain violet blood... ==> Tantri, pester Nereid SPOILER: Click to show RT: Nereid. RT: Nereid. RT: Oh come on, answer! RT: Uh, please? RT: Fine, if you will not answer, then I will simply have to come over there. RT: I will be around soon, hopefully you will see this and be expecting me. You are a complete idiot. But you deny this face and leave. You warn your swordfish dad of where you are going... to a certain extent. You tell him you will not be back for a good while. And fine, yes, you did say you loved him. Whats so wrong with that? Cant a troll love his or her lusus? Seriously... ==> Move it bucko. You "move" your way along to Nereid's hive. It is quite a confusing place, but you memorized the pathway to her hive a long time ago. It has become quite useful for popping in on her... though you have only done it once before. You hope you will be received graciously this time. After all, you do have an adventure for her. After almost getting lost twice after taking wrong turns, you make it to the main body of Nereid's hive. A nice place in your opinion, you like it a lot ==> "Bellow" for her . Bellowing is something you do not do. Do not ask why, you simply do not bellow. You do however use your dictatorial voice, which is pretty damn loud, to get her attention. SPOILER: Click to show Tantri: Nereid. Tantri: I know you are around here somewhere, I have come to see you! <3 Tantri: Please come out?

[NEREID POMANO]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true] ==> Sleep. You are in the midst of doing that, however there is something quite unnerving about your dream. You cannot name what it is that's wrong, but more or less because you are unsure if you are even dreaming or not. It is a rather confusing swarm of darkness and wetness with whispers that surround you. You are not alone. ==> Awaken Thief. You are not sure what that means, but you do remember having the strangest dream of your life. Of course that's all you remember about it; the strangeness. You don't really care about all that however, as you just want to have another round of sleep in your recuperacoon. Though maybe you should replace the sopor slime because you and sleep haven't been seeing eye to eye as of late. You get out of your recuperacoon and towel off most of the slime. Which is quite the challenge with you being submerged underwater. It is during this whole fiasco you see a flashing light on the husktop you keep in your respite block. ==> Investigate. You do so, finding that Tantri has been trolling you. The moment you finish reading the last line you hear Tantri yelling from inside your hive. You roll your eye stumps, thinking quietly in the back of your head that it sucks that Tantri learned the layout of your hive so fast. Though you don't know what you would do if he got lost. You sigh. It seems sleep is not in your near future.

NEREID: Just give a girl a moment would yyou?

[/spoiler]

You are slightly happy that your hive echoes so nicely.

==> Get ready.

You did that while awaiting your next command prompt. Your narrator seems about as slow and sleep deprived as you. You can tell this will be a good time all around already.

==> Greet the royal guest.

You easily navigate through your hive, which is surprisingly straight forward unlike the path to your hive. It isn't too long before you are in the obnoxiously large entry block with Tantri. Your eyes quickly sweep over the hole that leads off to where your Lusus resided. You swim right up to Tantri and hug him. To your surprise you are not as stressed out as you thought you would doing this.

SPOILER: Click to show

NEREID: yyou have disturbed yyour host I hope yyou realize~
NEREID: But I think I'll let yyou off the hook this time, because I am such a lovelyy troll~

==> Get some answers.

You pull back from the hug and look suspiciously at the younger troll before you. You prod him right on the scent nub and quirk a brow.

SPOILER: Click to show

NEREID: Hello Tantri, so what is it I owe for the pleasure of having royyaltyy for companyy?~
NEREID: It seemed rather important from the messages yyou sent me~
NEREID: Or at least I hope it's a rather important matter because myy recuperacoon is a mightyy good temptress~
NEREID: I can hear her pleas for myy return from here~

You have no idea what this means, but it entertains your thoughts as you wait for your closest troll friend ever to get ready. Because of course, every girl needs a few minutes to look their best - well according to them they do. You personally couldn't tell the difference very well, the only troll you knew for many years was your reflection ==> Contemplate how sad that is You cannot do this because Nereid is already ready and giving you a hug. You always like it when she deigns it appropriate to hug you, and you don't have to go asking like a sad puppy. You hug her back warmly. ==> Answer questions SPOILER: Click to show Tantri: My apologies Nereid, it is nice to see you. Tantri: I was a bit too excited too wait, I did not know you would still be sleeping. Tantri: Heh ^_^" Tantri: I suppose the matter is not quite "important," but it has been bugging me for a while. Tantri: I want to go onto the land for once... Tantri: But I was not too keen to go alone, and I was wondering if... Tantri: Perhaps. Tantri: You would like to join me? <3 Tantri: It is alright if you do not, obviously.

[NEREID POMANO]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true] ==> Cuteness system overload. You are not so easily moved by your completely adorable friend who's adorableness somehow misses the disgust that you usually spill out at 'cute'. You decide that maybe all this time spent with him has made you an utter fool and somehow remapped how you are supposed to act as a troll. You also consider that you are ridiculously pale for this wriggler and you can't help it. You hope that the former, think pan manipulation and everything, should be more plausible. You think you are getting bad at lying to yourself. You are not sure how to remedy this. ==> Focus. Oh yes, there was a request there. A request to go onto dry land. A request to drag your crazy rump onto dry land. This is absurd and will not stand. You do not want to go onto land without a good reason, like to cull some lowblood idiot. Venturing out there for entertainment is not on your to do list ever. You decide you will let Tantri down easily... SPOILER: Click to show [style=width: 350px; background: #eeeeee; border: 1px dashed #808080; color: 6a006a; font-weight: bold; font-family: courier; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; padding: 15px;]NEREID: Do yyou reallyy want to see the land?~ NEREID: I assure yyou, yyou aren't missing anyything worth mentioning~ NEREID: It's uncomfortable, dryy, dirtyy, and filled to the brim with annoyyances~ NEREID: The ocean is much better~

[/spoiler]

Crap. You can't. Apparently the letting him down easy command your think pan sent got turned into a half-assed plea to just not.

==> Pace.

You start to do that while considering your options. You quickly realize you don't really have any as you can't just leave him to wander around on land by himself. You have no idea what those lowblooded monsters would do to him. What if he got lost? You drag your hands down your face feeling regret just sort of radiate from you.

However you are grinning quite a bit. You had at first expected that Nereid would flat out turn you down. Maybe she would have many a perigee ago, but not now. You are very happy about that. ==> Answer her dude! Stop smiling so much! You calm down the intensity of your smile so that you can speak and not have your cheeks hurt so much. SPOILER: Click to show Tantri: I really do wish to go! Tantri: I have been above the waves, but that is obviously not the same. Tantri: Even if I do not like it, at least then I will now how bad or good it is. Tantri: (though I really hope it is not as terrible as you say) Tantri: Thank you so much Nereid! Tantri: I do not know what I would do without you. <3 ==> Start your journey You begin your journey. You know exactly where you want to go, and it is not all together that far from Nereid's hive. Its a stretch of beach that leads to a pretty green area. A forest was it? You two are getting very close to the edge of the waves. So close that you are only a few more feet before you can not swim properly anymore.

[NEREID POMANO]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true] ==> Be happy for your friend. You can't do that right now for you are being far to sore about having to leave your hive to go to land. That's coupled with the fact you are tired. You are sure anyone speaking at this point will stoke the fires of your aggravation. Well, anyone but Tantri. Though you have already half confessed to yourself why that is. It doesn't help you at all the way he easily says nice things right back to you. How are you supposed to live in denial with all this fodder telling you to just accept it. Jegus it is way too early to start having a look at your life in a new light. ==> Travel. You do so with as much reluctance as you can manage, which is quite the bit all things considered. You even start slowing down. You are already missing the comfort of the water around you. But eventually the shore greets your sight and the only way you can avoid it is if you just stop, and you can't do that. You decide to take one more breath, savoring the water before stepping up onto the beach. ==> Cringe. You are doing this and with the best scowl you can muster. You literally cannot name a worse feeling then the first steps onto the dryer parts of this planet. It is the definition of awful. The things you will do for this wriggler. SPOILER: Click to show [style=width: 350px; background: #eeeeee; border: 1px dashed #808080; color: 6a006a; font-weight: bold; font-family: courier; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; padding: 15px;]NEREID: Let's get this over with shall we~ NEREID: The sooner we go into this forest the sooner yyou realize that outside of the ocean is all a sick joke and we get to go back to our waters~

[/spoiler]

==> Glance at Tantri.

You do so and realize he is still in the water. You tilt your head a bit wondering if he suddenly has gotten cold feet. Or maybe hes savoring the moment. At your expense no doubt. You can hardly stop yourself from heaving the greatest sigh of your life.

You do not like this though. You are quite sure you can't move as well as Nereid can on ground. You are just now treading water, only barely above the waves. When Nereid calls for you, you grimace and swim forward until your feet need to take up your weight. You are rather good on your feet in fact. You manage to carry your weigh quite well. You are glad you swim with both your legs and your arms. ==> Stumble You unfortunately do so, actually letting out a swear. Something you not very often do. You fall to your knees in the weird... dry sensation? Wow it is dried sand, that is very odd. You play with it for half a second before brushing yourself off and standing sturdily next to Nereid. SPOILER: Click to show Tantri: Could we pretend that did not just happen? Tantri: Maybe? Tantri: We should just continue, yes? You fortunately have shoes and are ready to go forward into the forest. You like this a lot already. The air drying your grayish skin, a new feeling. But it is almost natural. As if you were meant to be surrounded by air. Breathing does feel a bit awkward though, but you ignore it for now.

[NEREID POMANO]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true] ==> Stare. You can't look away as this is one of the stranger things you have seen in your life. You are not exactly sure what Tantri is doing with his legs, but before you get to question it he stumbles into the sand. Which he then proceeds to play with. You feel as though you are actually watching a wriggler now. Eventually he gets up and you are grinning in a predatory way. You suddenly have no regrets about this whole adventure thing. ==> Pretend that did not happen. That is literally impossible and you find yourself chuckling as you follow next to Tantri; who sounds like he is snoring. Breathing air straight is a rather strange first experience. SPOILER: Click to show [style=width: 350px; background: #eeeeee; border: 1px dashed #808080; color: 6a006a; font-weight: bold; font-family: courier; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; padding: 15px;]NEREID: Heyy, don't worryy about it; I was exactlyy like that when I first went out of the ocean~ NEREID: Though I was significantlyy yyounger than yyou~ NEREID: Around two sweeps if I am recalling correctlyy~ NEREID: And I didn't stop to playy in the little pile of sand~ NEREID: But I will certainlyy keep myy tongue held oh most royyal of princes~

[/spoiler]

==> Be in awe.

You find that impossible. Once you have seen one forest you have pretty much seen them all. Instead you are rather guarded. Tantri is your charge no matter how you look at it and the last thing you are going to allow happen is a landweller touch him with their grubby paws. But you don't want him on edge so you pretend to just be rather disgusted with all that's around you.

NEREID: Well yyour lordship, is it all yyou have ever hoped?~

NEREID: Does the oppressive heat tickle yyour fancyy?~

NEREID: Let's not forget how great the local population will no doubt be~

You look over at him with a quirked brow and a egotistical smirk. Its then you notice something odd.

You should have known not to ask Nereid to come. She was bound to criticize him. And she did. But then again, where in the world would he be without her? Probably lost and in poor shape. SPOILER: Click to show Tantri: I like this very much, Nereid. Tantri: Waddling? Tantri: Oh, maybe? Tantri: Can you really blame me though, I have been swimming all my life. Tantri: eheh. ==> Learn to walk. You feel idiotic, however you let Nereid teach you how to walk. It does not take too long tohugh, you are quite the natural at this walking thing. You wonder if you can go faster than this slight gate, despite how long your legs are it does not go as fast as your swimming it feels. You will need to ask about that. Late though. You have been foolish enough lately. ==> Enter the forest After Nereid deems you worthy enough to walk around where other people could be around, you both start heading into the forest.Occasionally you ask what things are. You have pretty good guesses from what your books tell you, but you can sometimes be hopelessly wrong. You will hopefully live this down one day. Nereid has plenty of blackmail material on you, should she ever need it. You hope she does not need it.

[NEREID POMANO]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true] ==> Question Tantri. You choose not to, even though his tastes are more than questionable. But you knew the moment you brought him onto land he would enjoy it, he is a lot more open minded than you permit yourself to be. You however did not take into consideration the whole walking thing, which was surprisingly negligent of you. You supposed there is only one way to go about fixing this, and you feel it goes against everything in your nature. ==> Teach the poor troll how to walk. You are obviously the most wonderful of trolls to do this for him. And you continue to chant how wonderful you are indeed as you teach Tantri to walk. It's something met with a little hardship at first but you are surprised to see him learn so quick, it probably has everything to do with how great of a teacher you are. But the task isn't so hard for someone who has learned how to swim; which is surely the harder of the two tasks. You simply tell him though it has more restriction and weight to it than swimming, it goes by the same rhythm. After showing him your variant of walking he learns step by step and before long he has his own tone to his. While yours is a more practiced grace, you're noticing his carries much the same characteristics he does. It's a bit fascinating. ==> Voila. You have no idea what that means, but your work with Tantri is done and you give him a little clap and a genuine smile. He is now ready to meet the public you think. You figure you will teach him how to run at some other point in time, as you do not see yourself needing such a skill here. With all that up in wraps you lead him through the forest. ==> Privately enjoy this time. You are having a lot more fun than you let on, especially with Tantri's curiosity. You are sure he just thinks you are being your usual snarky self, but the smile you wear is real. Maybe this is all because you are a little sleep deprived and can find enjoyment in anything, or maybe this is genuine. You pause a little at that. ==> Make a mistake. You don't necessarily see it as a mistake right now, but you are sure your timing has to be off somehow. SPOILER: Click to show [style=width: 350px; background: #eeeeee; border: 1px dashed #808080; color: 6a006a; font-weight: bold; font-family: courier; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; padding: 15px;]NEREID: Heyy Tantri I was a bit curious about something if yyou don't mind?~

Though only once in a blue moon a troll would stumble into the forest, typically they were lost souls who needed to find their way back to civilization. You had always expected that to be the case with any Trolls who managed to make their way out here, after all Peng choose this location specifically due to the solitude it offered you. The ways of Monk often are solitude or solidarity among other Monks of the same faith who choose to walk a similar path, but the seeing as your Ancestor’s faith died awhile back you are the lone follower. You gaze out into the darkness of the forest the serene beauty of it all more often than not compensates for the life you live. The still darkness and peaceful nothingness aside from that noise of the wind whistling through the air brings you to let out a silent sigh. A long days work is finished, now that the work is complete you suppose you should head inside for a long period of meditation to contemplate the effect this will have in the grand scheme of your life, and troll life as a whole. Right as you begin to head back in the direction of your hive a noise startles you, from behind you it appears to animals must have started a scrap. ==> HAIZEA: Investigate You briskly and stealthily move towards the noise to see what the animals are fighting about, careful not to alert them of your presence. You watch from the shadows as it appears two sea dwelling Trolls are having a conversation. One appears to still be getting adjusted to walking, no doubt the ruckus that lead you to them, she appears to be asking him something. You’re not one for eavesdropping so you make a point to introduce yourself cutting off any conversation them may be having. SPOILER: Click to show HAIZEA: ❀ < Hello there. HAIZEA: ❀ < Sorry, am I interrupting anything? HAIZEA: ❀ < I can come back at a more, suitable time if you wish. HAIZEA: ❀ < Though if you insist upon my departure, let me atleast honor myself with an introduction. HAIZEA: ❀ < My name is Haizea Yamanu, a worshiping Monk of my Ancestor’s faith that foretells of peace between the Hemospectrum.

You are sure that you are not the first troll to have to deal with this kind of problem. You will gladly overlook your failures so that you can continue your nice day above water. As of yet you are not sure which you prefer, the water or land. They are both so interesting, and you like the change that the land has brought you. Dare you say you and Nereid may be having a bit of fun? Well if nothing else you are having fun. The "adventure" isn't quite as interesting as you had imagined, but that doesn't mean it wont get better! You expect to be wowed by something sooner or later. ==> Become curious. You are nearly always curious. Curiosity killed the catbeast, and it is a very good thing you are most certainly not a catbeast. You don't even know if you like catbeasts. In any even you turn to see what Nereid wants to talk about. SPOILER: Click to show Tantri: Hm? Tantri: Oh, of course Nereid. Tantri: You can ask me any- ==> Get cut off. You are effectively cut off by a voice you don't recognize... well no shit the only voices you know are your lusus' and nereid's voices. For the time being you forget that Nereid sounded sincere for the first time in a bit, and turn around quickly to see a troll. ==> HOLY SHIT ITS YOUR FIRST LAND DWELLING TROLL EVER, FREAK OUT You do NOT freak out. You would never do that. In fact you do the exact opposite, and remain quite calm and relaxed. You have some control over your actions, and you calmly look surprised. Even if you are overly excited in your own mind. But that is another story. No one can read your mind as far as you know, and that means you can do whatever you please in your own mind. ==> Smile and wave, boys, smile and wave You give Haziea a nice - well you are pretty sure its nice - smile and give her a small wave. You are glad she came out and introduced herself rather than staying in the background any longer. SPOILER: Click to show Tantri: Just a little bit, Haizea, but that is alright. Tantri: That is quite the intruduction you have there. Tantri: It is a pleasure to meet you Tantri: My name is Tantri Ardele. Tantri: I can not say I have as much of a fancy introduction as you do, but it is mine. Tantri: This is my friend... You trail off for Nereid to introduce herself, something you are absolutely sure she would like to do herself if at all. You truly hope she acts nice to this troll, from the way she speaks about above-the-ground and low bloods you cannot help but worry about her actions. You trust her though, enough that you will never feel threatened around her. Maybe she will not threaten Haziea away and you will get to know more about this troll?

[NEREID POMANO]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true] ==> Be caught unaware. You are never caught unaware, perhaps surprised occasionally but you would never allow yourself to be put at a disadvantage. You spent countless sweeps hunting, you are very aware when someone is watching you. You obviously will need to teach Tantri skills like these, as he seems to just be staring at you even as you look off, but you think his innocence may take sweeps to overcome. You both grew up in the same ocean, but while he was safe to look at the beauty you were being hunted. ==> Be greeted. You are surprised the troll decides to confront you, most landdwellers have enough self-preservation to avoid seadwellers. This seems like a thinly veiled attempt at suicide to you. But then she's speaking, talking as though you all are on equal standings with, of course, a side of preaching. You cannot escape preaching it seems. Your eyes are taking in the meek yellow of her caste symbol, and you speculate what kind of powers she's hiding. Even as you feel a hiss bubble in the back of your throat Tantri is talking back. It stuns you for a moment, and then you remember this is Tantri; of course he would respond. ==> Introduce yourself. Tantri is signaling for you to introduce yourself, but really all you feel comfortable with right now is telling her to get the hell out of here. There's no way you can tell your friend what it was you were going to say with an audience. You try to pacify yourself with the thought that there's always later, but you find yourself thinking that things aren't going to be the same for much longer. You've never taken to pessimism so the thought is a strange one, but it's a thought you either are to defeated to refute, or sincerely believe. You decide to take your frustrations out on the yellow blood. Your eyes are bubbling with disdain when you look at her, and even your tongue feels inky with venom in your mouth. As the seconds tick forward you only respond when you decide to.

NEREID: Was there something you wanted?

[/spoiler]

==> Muse.

You don't think Tantri has ever heard you speak in a more stoic tone, you briefly wonder if he will be shocked. You figure not, he knows your opinions on these gill-less trolls, knows your disgust for the warmer of bloods. You find yourself biting your tongue to keep from saying more. You know your friend will want to talk about all sorts of things with a landdweller, you've seen the tendency very apparent before.

You hope the yellow blood takes the hint and leaves. However you've never thought yourself a lucky one.[/center][/style][/td][/tr][/table][/center]

You knew that you had been welcomed by the Tyrian Blood, but the other one Nereid most positively did not want your presence. Sensing the tension you spin around to head out of the forest and back to your hive only a short distance away. Taking calming breaths you make one more glance at the horizon and the two trolls.And then you notice something, the sky is less dark. The sun must be rising soon, and as much as you would hate to interrupt their day on land you think it might be best to offer them shelter, they have traveled far and must be weary.

You can not blame either of them. You had expected Nereid to act a bit stiff, and you were sure no one would have tried to force their company on a fierce seadweller like herself. That is ok, at least you can say you have met more than one troll now. That is quite the accomplishment for a troll as sheltered as you are. ==> Dude, get it into your thick skull SPOILER: Click to show Tantri: Nereid Tantri: That was interesting, meeting her for the briefest of moments. Tantri: She was very polite, not like you say a bunch of the landdwellers are like. Tantri: Am I right to assume she is an exception in this? Or something along those lines?

Tantri: Come on Nereid. ^_^ Tantri: Perhaps you can finally ask that question you had of me, I am sorry for delaying it so long. Tantri: That was a bit rude. You instinctively pull at Nereids hand (HAND HOLDING WHAT IS THIS) so that you two can follow Haziea in step/sync.
