Ikanbi
It was another wonderful receiving day for the Desierto Trading Company, at least it would be in the Grand Harbor branch, there were several exciting shipments coming in from Fiore and Desierto, both by water and by air, and Ikanbi signed off on them just as the sun had started to go, it wasn't quite beginning to set yet, but it wasn't quite as high in the sky as it might have been had it been earlier in the day. There were lots of textiles coming in today, stones, metals, fabrics, woods, and wines. Quite the import, most of it was going directly to one manufacturer not terribly far from where Ikanbi had set up the Mechanic's Warehouse.

Ikanbi herself was just walking about at this point, she had set things up nicely and the operation was mostly running itself, but she still showed up every once and a while and helped out with some things. Today she had physically helped move a lot of the cargo, helping the lowest form of employee with the physical labor.

She had been asked why she didn't just hire automatons for everything, but her response had been something horrid and filled with curses and exclamations about taking away peoples wages. That being said, she had given them some help, there were two automatons among the crew that helped with the more grievous and heavy tasks, and over time Ikanbi had developed more and better ones as she softened up to the idea, and she moved up the lowest humanoid workers into better positions where they instead would oversee the robotic workers.

This came to fruition this day, truly, when Ikanbi and the human workers were unloading cargo with the robots side by side. Normally, they would have just let the robots handle it, but it was a particularly large load today and there was a concert everyone was eager to go to later.

So, they sped up the work and together they got everything loaded into Grand harbor right nicely.

The lot of them made there way through the harbor and broke off into smaller groups as they filtered out into the different streets, most of them making there way to the concert on the far south east end, far from the docks. Ikanbi however stayed much much further to the west, heading to a little shopping area she had grown rather fond of that was right on the water. It had several different little shops in it, arms dealers, black market wares, medicines, doctors, clothes, fishing supplies, boat supplies, bike supplies, and most importantly food.

There was this one particular spot that Ikanbi loved a lot, it had this spicy rice with this very black chicken, hot and sweet peppers, deliciously cooked onions, spicy sauce, and the whole thing was smothered in spicy cheese.

It was a lot of food, and it was so, so delicious, and it was calling her name right then.

Rhea


Rhea


Rhea’s steps were slow but deliberate as she walked the desolate streets of Talaz Lagaar. The city was now a hollowed-out wasteland, with only scattered remnants of its former self; a few open shops and the quiet hum of forgotten machinery. Her body felt heavy, weighed down not only by the sickness that gnawed at her but also by the overwhelming flood of knowledge from the Tome of Forgotten Memories. The book floated next to her, its pages flickering as though they were alive.

Her snowy white locs, once a vibrant violet, brushed against her cheeks as the wind swept through the empty streets. Her eyes, now an unsettling gray with flickers of blue, scanned her surroundings absently as she walked beside Lector who flew just above her shoulder, his expression unusually concerned. Since meeting the moon, the vibrant connection she once had to light element mana was gone, leaving her with a feeling of emptiness but focused on the task at hand. She needed to find the Immortal Sun.

But first, the major needed to regain some of her strength. The small restaurant ahead, the last of its kind in this forgotten place, called to her like a beacon. She had frequented it often in her very short time here, relying on its warmth and sustenance to keep her going. She’d made sure to stay hidden, communicating only with her mother for updates, hoping the assassins who once hunted her would stay far away.

As Rhea and Lector approached the door, her thoughts clouded by the ancient knowledge from the Tome, she barely noticed the stranger in front of her. They collided, her weakened body stumbling slightly before she steadied herself. Rhea's head snapped up, her gray eyes locking onto the figure in front of her, an unfamiliar woman with an air of confidence about her.

"Oh. My apologies...I didn't see you there," Rhea muttered, her voice low but sharp, her hand still resting on the floating book beside her. Lector, his wings fluttering, narrowed his eyes at the the stranger.

"You alright?" he asked Rhea, his voice tinged with his usual arrogance but softened by worry.

"Y-yeah. I'm okay." Rhea straightened, brushing off the impact, her gaze still fixed on the stranger.

Ikanbi
The young merchant from Desierto turned to more fully face the soul that had dared to collide with her so clumsily, but was surprised to find another regal being such as herself, or at least it certainly appeared so. Before her stood one of the most gorgeous elves that Ikanbi had ever seen. Nico popped it's head out from Ikanbi's bag to peek at the two of them.

Well, an elf is certainly a long way from home, but then, so was Ikanbi, no? She adjusted the ruffles at the bottom of her top and smoothed it out before her introducing herself. "Oh, sorry I didn't realize I was in the way." She said rather apologetically. She really hadn't, truly. She had been so focused on getting food she had become blind to the world around her. How naive, one could get mugged easily enough that way. She checked her pouch instinctually then, making sure nothing was missing. "Sorry, sorry, you don't look like the kind but then you never know..." She said as she checked her bag.

"Oh, uh, anyway, I'm Ikanbi." She said finally. "Are you hungry? I was just about to grab a bite."

Rhea


Rhea


Rhea’s gaze lingered on the woman before her, taking in her appearance with a quick sweep of her eyes. Brown skin that seemed to glow in the dim light, short locs framing a face that was strikingly beautiful and she radiated confidence and poise. For a moment, Rhea was surprised, not just by Ikanbi’s beauty, but by the simple fact that someone else was here in Talaz at all. This place was a ghost town, a ruin left to crumble.

"Hello Ikanbi...You are... the first person I’ve seen here," Rhea muttered, her voice quiet, laced with exhaustion. She coughed lightly, pressing a hand to her mouth before continuing, "It is strange to see anyone, given the state of this place."

Her grip on the floating Tome tightened as she steadied herself. Even though her body felt weak, her mind was racing with thoughts of the Immortal Sun artifact. She glanced back at Ikanbi, taking a moment to assess her again. This woman didn’t seem like the kind who frequented war-torn ruins, which only added to the strangeness of their meeting.

"I am Rhea Alvarez, Rune Knight Major." she said, her voice rough from the illness that had been eating away at her. She cast a glance at the restaurant door, her hunger barely registering behind the fog in her mind. "Hungry I am. We haven't eaten all day." Another cough, this one harsher, interrupted her words, but she quickly composed herself again.

Lector hovered just above her shoulder, eyeing Ikanbi suspiciously, but said nothing for now. Rhea gave a slight nod. "After you." she smiled, gesturing for Ikanbi to walk through the door.
