the Rift

She truly appreciated the moments when the Rift came together, bound by magic. She only wished it could happen under less dire circumstances. It was desperation that gave them strength, and it saddened the great matron. It was the inverse of a silver lining, the dark cloud on the otherwise bright horizon. Would it always take a disaster to bring about unity?

Still, for the time being, she sought to banish such thoughts, and focus instead on the nice, bright things in life. For example, learning of the peculiarities of the deep sea fishes, and of a world without sunlight. She could not imagine such a thing.

One of the groups returned, and the baleano fell silent. The matron stepped back from him, and focused upon the equines. Roscorro and Waker remained silent, while Otem delivered the report of what had happened. The Loricatrunc chuckled, a deep and pleasant sound. "Somehow, I am not surprised," she said merrily, the corners of her eyes crinkling with a smile. "That is quite alright, dear. And, oh—" She noticed Varuna then, and turned to face the colt. Her long trunk waved a little in greeting. "Hello there. Have you come to join in our efforts to bring hope to the world?"

Once he had either answered, or had been silent long enough for her to assume he wasn't going to, she turned her attention back to Otem and those hovering behind her. "I must ask even more of you. Hope has abandoned my home, Uwaritace, along with the deserted Akvo City, and the ruined Halyven. You must go, to one of these places, and restore the hope there. Which one will you choose?"

The result of the poll was that the groups will be kept for the duration of the plot!

Group ROWK (+ Varuna if he'd like to join them; he could also wait to join one of the other groups when they return) get to choose between bringing hope to UWARITACE, AKVO CITY, or HALYVEN. You can decide OOC on which you'll pick. :)
