He wanted to go deeper in but he did not like tight places or even closed in spaces. So he turned around and left. He walked across the bridge disappointed in himself.Aphotic:She walked through the forest quickly and she did not really know where she was going but she did not care. She just wanted away from the chattery Le-Matoran and there offbeat speach patterns. She wanted to go to a library or somewhere to read but she could not think of any at the moment. She always felt as if she was being shunned and ignored but it was just the darkness talking. Sometimes she grew tired of it but she knew there had to be a reason and one day she would know it.Glacier:He left the village of ice but he did not let anyone know. Why should I be cold hearted like them. Just because I am bonded with ice and cold does not mean I must act like that. He was in a negative place and that was a major reason for his sudden trip. He was tired of the cold weather and the cold people and the lack of conversation. Edited January 19, 2012 by infinitus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otter Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 IC-Kalg'roch'intera:Kalg'roch'intera, better known as Grochi, was walking through the forests of Le Wahi, up on a causeway just outside of the City of Trees. He had just finished playing at a small outlying restaurant, and so, with a somewhat-better-filled coinpurse, was walking towards the City to see what he might be able to buy.***Just to surprise people, Grochi backflipped through the city gates with the help of his quarterstaff, doing no damage to any of his instruments.

She joined Japack beside the boat, then glanced towards the too-thin river that ran through the valley."This joins with another river some way up ahead.

"Oh dear," he said, "It seems that I'm getting a little hungry right now. If you want, you can come with me back to my hut.

Upon seeing Windfly's perplexed expression, he decided to explain his question."You see," he began, "I'm a traveling musician, and I have been looking for a partner for a while now. As you must know, it is somewhat annoying to try and find other talented people these days, who are willing to put in the time and effort needed to pursue the study. That, and if you're going to be traveling with me, for however short a while, I'm going to be playing some short tunes." Saying that, he pulled a lute out of its case and began to play a small reel."Also, in my line of work, I do get paid a rather large sum most of the time, so there's another incentive to learn." Then he chuckled to himself. "There are also people who try to steal my pay from me, and they've been getting cleverer and cleverer as they try to take my money.

Two loaves of bread with whatever you want to eat put in between them, with various vegetables and condiments added as you want.
