Khareena:
While Heading towards Portal Grounds, Khareena couldn’t miss the sight of the long line at Areount. There were several Exited Centaurs, and she could see another female Centaur of the Equestrian Variety ridin on a large creature that resembled a Manta Ray except that it had feathers on its leathering wings and a fluffy feathery tail that looked more like a Mammal’s tail instead of a bird’s tail. She managed to get in line just behind Anaril, and just before a long line of youth and experience lads came. The grounds were opening up and were letting more people out and were letting the line up to Khareena in. There was a loud exited yell.

”CONGRADULATIONS!” boomed a loud voice. ”YOU ARE THE 100TH GROUP TODAY! AND THEREFOR YOU GET THE SPECIAL SET. ALL NEWCOMERS PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY THROUGH THE BLUE DOORS TO RECEIVE YOUR FIRST BLOUNT AND EQUIPMENT! ALL EXPERIENCED PEOPLE, YOU ARE TO HELP THE NEWCOMERS BEFORE GOING THROUGH THE RED DOORS. THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE COME TO TRADE OR EMPTY YOUR BLOUNTS ARE TO GO THROUGH THE RED DOORS IMMEDIETLY!”

The group behind Khareena tried to cut in line but were stopped by a mixture of Paragons of the Divine guards and Areount’s guards, usually called Bouncers.

Lucian:
“There are those that think that the Champion ran off and became a Daedric lord after all the Conflict was over but that is only partially correct. You see, when the Divines pick someone to serve as their champion, such as the Nevararine, the Champion of Cyrodil, or even the Dovahkin, those individuals have long and complicated lives. Depending on World instance that hero can be male or female and can be any one of the standard Ten Tamriellic races. The Champion doesn’t have a set race, gender, physical description as it changes, you see? While many of us stay the same, those of us who are alive during the Champion’s life, our deaths and lives are never set usually as the Champion can cause us early deaths or determine if we live. The champions always have that kind of power. In this instance of our World, the current Champion, Dovahkiin, is a Nord Woman. But the Champion could very well be a male Argonian in another version of our world and time, things like that. The Champion’s history is never truly set, and what they do with their lives really determines with the individual. Some may think that the Gods recycle a single soul, but with how close the Neverarine was to the Champion of Cyrodil, we know this to be false. Your history is your own and perhaps you will receive a better future from it.” The Orc vampire girl spoke.

Kardryn & Asseloxi:
“It is from my personal experience with my group of portal traveling to know that it is best for team work and never working solo. For you are not allowed to portal travel when working alone for safety sake and for the sake of that realm’s lore and history. One always needs someone else at one point or another. But I suspect you will be getting your own group together soon, one that will be talked about for ages to come.” Leywani spoke. “I will have what you need at the ready when you come back, but I will need what I have asked for to grant you the colours you seek. I will make sure it’s a mixture of Stylish, comfortable and Utilitarian, something of great wealth and value. You two will also get discounts. Also it is from my personal experience that there are realms richer than others.” Leywani nodded to the both of them before going to work on the Farm girls dress and then the patterns needed for Kardryn and Asseloxi’s attire.

Ithu-riel & Malian:
With their date nearing an end, the Sun and Moon dials located on the North, South, East and West sides of the Museum of Sigil began to chime. It was nearing night and soon the guild meeting would commence.

_______
Drimertia:

“You will be working with your magic, you will also be learning of lore. Here is a book to read up on our lore from the very basics. You will also be reading on Lore about a place called Tamriel, which is outside Portalis and outside of Zeyelden but a part of the same realm of Mundus. You seem ok enough and you are not a Daedra Spider. “ Yin-Lin spoke as she saw Drimertia and the Khajiit off. Soon after Drimertia was in the Aetherium Arcanorium Guild hall, where she was met with a mix-race of Mages both of Zeyelden and of Tamriel variety.

She was then escorted to their Library, which was more like it’s own city in itself as the very guild was enchanted long ago to be much larger on the inside than on the outside, sort of like its own Interial portal, which were many fixed permanent portals inside there so the mages could have more room to work with, which included training rooms for all mages from the experience mage to the new mage who’s powers are erratic and unstable leading to massive explosions common enough that the Aetherium Arcanorium has its own Healing facility.

In the library were many, many books and some even had pictures of the various races, including those encountered in other realms and realities.

Aethir:
“The princess can handle herself if Macy does indeed decide to challenge her, no doubt with one of the Blood Orchids.” Chausa spoke, “And this is what being part of the guild is about, at least one part. To challenge someone of equal or greater rank and then fight them, to kill without killing, something that keeps us on our toes.”
At that moment, the two Chestnut Tang members that were trying to recruit Tarot, came by above by navigating the rooftops, stalls and other hurdles in the way. They were heading to their guild hall with the sound of the bell. Chaulsa narrowed her eyes at the pair as they moved nimbly.
________

Tarot & Vlynt:

The Chestnut Tang members didn’t like how Vlynt was referring to them and the young charge they were trying to recruit. “Well, well, well.” The female started heading over to Vlynt. “A young Dragonrider, thinks he’s some kind of guard?” She went right by Vlynt, and in one very quick motion, relieved him of his coinpurse. She tossed it to the ground in front of Tarot. “We will only give you one warning, Rider, stay out of our business and we might stay out of yours.”

The male spoke to Tarot. “If you ever change your mind on the matter, and wish for an excellent suit of armor, you may come to the Guild Hall. We hope to see you.” He, like the female before him, demonstrated his Acrobatic and Parkour skills by latterly scaling the building’s wall in seconds flat. Soon after the pair vanished, the Guard that had been following Vlynt showed up. “You there, hault!” He said approaching Vlynt. “You have shoved a guard and other innocent people, if you do not come to face a punishment willingly then a harsher one will be given instead. Your punishment will to apologize to myself and to the people you shoved in person, no you can’t just say sorry to one person, and if you run I’ll haul you off to jail where you can have the option of scooping up defecation, Cleaning out nasty vermin, water treatment sorting which is to say sewage sorting, or working very hard in the fields picking thorny cotton or working with blackberries.”

When the guard laid eyes on Tarot, he didn’t think of the young Akavirian as a thief, instead he viewed him as the victim. “You there lad, has this one hurt you too, bullied you in any sort? If so we will definatly increase his punishment for you and you are welcome to clean clothes and a warm bed we can set you up with at one of the Inns and aid from one of the Seamstress or Tailors. The Inns will provide one meal free of charge as well.”

______
Anaril:

As the Line began to move, Anaril heard the same speech as the Centaur Lass, Khareena, behind him. Anaril and Khareena were the last two to this line of One Hundred individuals. Anaril and Khareena both could feel the excitement in the air.

”CONGRADULATIONS!” boomed a loud voice. ”YOU ARE THE 100TH GROUP TODAY! AND THEREFOR YOU GET THE SPECIAL SET. ALL NEWCOMERS PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY THROUGH THE BLUE DOORS TO RECEIVE YOUR FIRST BLOUNT AND EQUIPMENT! ALL EXPERIENCED PEOPLE, YOU ARE TO HELP THE NEWCOMERS BEFORE GOING THROUGH THE RED DOORS. THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE COME TO TRADE OR EMPTY YOUR BLOUNTS ARE TO GO THROUGH THE RED DOORS IMMEDIETLY!”

luckily Malian and Ithu-riel had almost made it back anyway. "Let's go inside!" she said bounding forth with great speed.

Vlynt did not show his face. He held it down, walk slowly. Then he pushed the guard over and ran for a dead end. He tried to go Aetherial and become lost in the crowd.

Malian smiled and followed. "We simply cannot be late for the meeting can we?" he said following Ithu-Riel. Astounded by her energy.

Drimertia smiled, looking around at the books. Out of curiosity, she looked to see if there were any books on her dimension.

"Wait," Tarot scooped up Vlynt's coin purse and ran after the Kyenmer. "Wait!"

Vlynt ran Aethernally(is that a word) into the crowd. Won't hit anyone this time. Where is he? He was waiting for his dragon.

Tarot ran into the crowd, looking for Vlynt.

"That is actually a plausable theory. So for all we know, in another world I could have been the Dragonborn?" Lucian half asked, "Oh and please excuse me for being rude- but are you Dusk or Dawn?"

Anaril frowned, he felt happy and confused at the same time. Nevertheless, he made his way through the blue door.

Kardryn was out the door before the Khajiit could get a word in and what little she had said was lost on him. Foolish, foolish girl. He thought to himself referring to the Venusian as he left the Seamstresses, he had tried to be nice, even offered her a bit of gold if she tagged along, but she had to be difficult. I will need to put together a team before I go trekking through the Forbidden realms, men and woman who can fight.

Lost in thoughts about finding a team and gathering the materials that would be needed to create robes for himself, Kardryn bumped into a sprinting, white haired Kynemer, unknown to him to be Vlynt.

Looking around, confused, Khareena made her way toward the blue door.

Asseloxi thought for a minute before running outside to find Kardryn.

"I suppose going together would be better than going alone."

Aethir also looked up at the acrobatic thieves. "They move with skill," he commented, glancing back at Chausa.

Ithu-Riel and Malian were both running to the door, they were behind the crowd that seemed to have gathered. "Well look at that! Right on time!" She said, she was getting a little tired, she was just drained from the whole day of running around."I can take the box back now." She said holding out her arm and slowing to a walk.

Khareena & Anaril:

The Blue Gates Buzzed with life as new comers and experienced were there helping each other. New Blounts, the crystals, were issued to newcomers. Khareena could see there were some Serphantine and Centaur there. One was an experienced individual who was trading her mount with another, less experienced Centaur. There was much exitment and some were going around stating “We’re going to be facing Elemental Pegusi and Scirounts!”

One of the newcomers had asked what a Scirount was and a more experienced Individual explained: “It’s a mount that looks like a storm cloud, but alive and breathing. It is strong enough to carry two centaurs and their luggage but fast and extremely flexible.” Apparently a Scirount usually looks like the various clouds and can Morph as such but was something, different, as well.
Anaril and Khareena were of the first up to a table where Empty Blounts were given to new catchers. They only a brief few details about the mounts, different types, or if they wanted to back out and give their spot to someone else waiting outside the gate.

Those who were let in were pretty much forced in or forced to stay outside so there wasn’t much in the way of choice until just this very point in time. Anaril was given a Crystal, one of the woman was about to give Khareena a similar Blount when she was asked if she would participate.
The Arena ran on its own Schedule, but it did have magical recording devices on the outside, so Vlynt’s punishment would be recorded for those who missed it.

Lucian:

“Yes you very well could have or even the Champion of Cyrodil.” She nodded. “There is a line of Khajiit who originally hailed from Zeyelden you see. You may or may not heard of one in Particular, Maiq the Liar?” She asked him.
There was some commotion in the Hall of Sigil as some were talking about Some Kynemer recievine punishment from running from the law and trying to hide in Aetherius.
_______
Kardryn & Asseloxi:

While the two made their way back to their respective guild halls for the meeting, they were treated to the sight of Vlynt and his punishment.
_______
Ithu-riel & Malian:

The two of them stopped suddenly to see a crowd forming in the middle of the Guild Quarter, where Vlynt had been forcibly brought back to Mundus by two of his own kind. He was collared and prevented from running. Some of the DragonRiders face palmed and some looked away in shame, shaking their heads
Ithu-Riel and Malian saw Vlynt who was just brought back from the fade, they were there to witness the punishment.

_______
Drimertia:

Although Drimertia found no such books about her realm or her people, she did find some books in reguards to a race called the Drider, half spider of eight legs usually with a humanoid torso. Similar she found information reguarding the Spider Daedra. One of the books mentioned a Deity called Lloth, queen of the Drow, a race of beautiful Dark Elves far different than Tamriel/Zeyelden’s Dark Elves. There was information on a place called Eberron
Some of Zeyelden’s dragon species come from this place, which is described as having “Seventeen Planes known”
During up on her reading, Some of the Mages began to gather around on the outside balconies, one Balcony in particular was big enough for Drimertia and her mechanical mount to go through if they so choose. It overlooked the giant courtyard in front of all 7 of Zeyelden’s Portalis Guild Halls. Anyone could See Vlynt brought there to receive punishment.
________
Aethir:

The Chestnut Tang members soon disappeared. They found a quiet place and removed their armor and stored it in their bags. One was a male Dark Elf named Lassiel Hlaalu while the other, a Lilmothiit by the name of Roxella came out to the Public, quickly blending in, the Kynemer really knew how to make a Spectical of himself.

Chausa looked at Aethir, before responding “We can move similar yet the Chestnut Tang are better at it, they wear that armor to protect their identities and fingerprints.” and then she looked to the crowd. “Looks like we are going to be treated to a spectacle” She said to him.

Tarot & Vlynt:

Vlynt found himself to suddenly be collared as he was shoved out of Aetherius as if by Kynareth herself. He found himself being dragged back to the Mortal Plane and back to Portalis by two Kynemer Elves, one of them a member of the Paragons of the Divines. Vlynt found his powers to not be working and he could not escape this punishment which he made so much worse by running. As he was brought back a crowd was gathering, some of them not caring for the DragonRiders. Vlynt saw some of hid guildmates, particularly the Ranger/Druid couple that enjoy storytelling.

Tarot was blocked from accessing Vlynt by a mixture of civilians and guards as well as the different guild members. All the Kynemer had to do was apologize but instead he ran and was caught. Now he faces punishment.
To Vlynt, the other Kynemer were glaring at him for his blantant abuse of his powers to get away from Authorities. All he had to do was apologize before, but because of the fact he choose to ran he made his punishment so much more worse. One of the Kynemer that held him was Ausin La'ven, whom he met at the start of the commotion with the Obese Spider Woman creature thing.

“Here ye, hear ye, hear ye!” A Judge dressed in blue robes spoke. He wore the mask of a member of the Portalis Circle and was one of the judges. “For I know all you good Men and Women of Man Mer and Beast are off to your respective destinations for tonight’s meeting, so we are going to make this Short and Sweet.” He began. “This member of the DragonRider’s Guild, a Kynemer, has been caught running from the Law when all he had to do was apologies for the actions he took when he shoved many a guard and civilian out of the way earlier today. He proceeded to use his powers to try to escape a Guard by going to Aetherius. It is there in Kynareth’s realm that this particular Kynemer, known as Vlynt, gave the Goddess a headache and she cast him out of the realm while wearing a collar that neither he or anyone else can remove until he serves his sentence.”

The man paused before continuing. “She also informed us of a quick punishment that is both embarrassing to Vlynt, yet also needed in a species she has informed us are Endangered on their home world and that their species needs to breed and repopulate. It is very important, the goddess herself stressed, that these few dragons we house in Zeyelden from their natural world be bred and have at least 50 viable eggs this year alone. The Dragonlings will be needed for for a peace treaty with a world that grows many good flora that we like to use here in Portalis and Zeyelden. The Dragon Species is called the Feather Scorch. The Druids confirmed that Vlynt’s Dragon happens to be a healthy young male Feather Scorch, and his seed is needed to impregnate some female Feather Scorch’s that the Druids take care of.”

There was a snicker near Tarot from both Lassiel and Roxella, as well as quite a few people who knew where this punishment was going. Tarot could see some Noble ranking Akavirian in the crowd, who had come for the meeting and got treated to some humiliating punishment on some Kynemer.

“As Punishment for the Kynemer Vlynt evading arrest and apologizing to the Public, he is to gather his Feather Scorch’s seed and put it in the registered containers so that it may be used to save a species. He is to provide maximum comfort and Exitement in the process. Failure to do so and the collar shall not fall off and his punishment will be worse. If he refuses to do so his Gender will be switched and he will be forced into a Female Scorch look alike, with a sack to gather the male’s excitement seed.”
Parents and teachers began to take young children inside after this. Vlynt’s Dragon soon appeared, holding himself high and proud. He knew what was coming and the exitment showed on a certain part of his body. He turned around, his buttocks and tail facing his rider, and of course the exited member which would have to be massaged and stroked, as well as a certain pleasure spot, to get the seed needed.

Vlynt was handed some soft gloved with a warm gel like surface which was warm moist and squishty. Both his hands now had these gloves and on his head a hat was placed that was made up of jell like feathers. He was given Oil and large jar-like-buckets. There were many sniggers from the crowd, particularly those who didn’t much care for DragonRiders.

Vlynt closed his eyes and walked over to the Dragon. "I'll never live this down..."

Five minutes later Vlynt was seen throwing up on the ground.

"Uhh..." Khareena said, undecided.

Drimertia decided that this would be nice to slowly start to learn about the culture in this new plane. She drove on over to the balcony, and looked down. As far as she could remember, only humans were punished. There was never a time where a Norak was punished. This was because the Norak's would never do any wrong to their own race.

Though, very often, Noraks would abuse humans, and the humans would be punished for not accepting the abuse. Anyway, the human would be eaten in the long run. She smiled, and her stomach growled loudly.

Drimertia shook her head, knowing that she would need to lead off that addiction. She continued to watch.

Aethir watched the punishment unfold with a look of disgust on his face. "How humiliating for the poor fool," he said, looking away.

Ithu-Riel covered her eyes. "Idiot. Though at least some good came of it." She said chuckling, "That dragon will never look at him the same way." Ithu-Riel moved into the crowd and was no longer near Malian.

Vlynt continued to vomit on the floor, "Some Paragons. They will respect the name Vlynt one day. They should hope for a generous and forgiving mood."

"Who hasn't heard of him?" Lucian said, "He has...quite a reputation."

Malian was chuckling so heartily he did not see Ithu-Riel leave him, he moved to get a better view, trying to hide his childish giggles behind a hand. He though this particular dragon rider was a serious idiot, he only made the punishment worse, for himself.
