Heritage Embrace|Ronduin

[Kender Bard]

The waters that constantly ripple and surge since the arrival of the dragons suddenly heave with great waves once again as Tidal rises from the water, his head looming over the rebuilt city of Ronduin. "Gather, children of Retaw! For I have wondrous news!"

[aivea]

Karin, who is completely drenched after having been water walking when the waves picked up due to having been close when Tidal had started to rise, turns toward the dragon while in the city that she hadn't been in for what felt like forever. Looking up at Tidal, the small Water says quietly, "I didn't know anything could be that big..."

[Kender Bard]

Cascata soon joins the swelling ranks, looking just as surprised as anyone. Tidal looks at her, then makes a sweeping gaze of the rest of the Water types before continuing. "Water elementals, you have done a wonderful job in the rebuilding of your city. It is as beautiful as ever before; and your newly trained guardians are worthy of praise. I bestow upon your people Retaw's blessing!"

And, without warning, nor with a cloud in the sky, rain began to fall. The people gave a gasp of surprise at the sudden occurence, but their gasps turned to shouts of shock as some of the people lifted their hands to touch their necks - just below their ears. Gills had formed for some of the inhabitants! There was a moment of mass confusion as some of the poor citizens felt as though drowning. This was sorted out quite quickly as the people reflexively closed their gills, enabling them to breathe like normal. Once the panic died down, Tidal spoke again.

"May you put your blessing to good use, waterlings." With no more ado, he slithered back into the waters to keep vigil over the city once more.

Puzzled, Karin runs one finger over her closed gills once she feels she is able to breath normally again. She's not quite sure how to go about making use of them on land or if the appearance of gills meant she was supposed to live underwater like a fish. Remembering her purpose in having risked water walking through the waves, she sets out deeper into the city.

Following behind the silent Karin, Shyn was puzzled. She'd never seen anything as big as the dragon and it seemed to have done something to her friend... She wasn't entirely sure what she was supposed to do, and was hoping Karin might explain it later.

[aivea]

(Shyn couldn't have gotten gills, only residents of Ronduin could. Karin got gills due to having been elsewhere purely to hide from the Clears)

"Where should we go first?" asks Karin, wandering in a random direction through the city.

(We should probably make a new topic here in Ronduin rather than using Kender's announcement topic. Do you want to start it?)

[kiyukit]

(Not a problem. All fixed! =^-^= And I'm off to go start the new topic!)
