Episode 1: Home through Vros

"We will walk with you through Vros. It may be a long walk, so we can run, and at some parts we can rest to look over the walls to see Ty'er Ra'Kuunijin in its greatness", Atruii says, while looking at your companions. They agree to walk with you. 

You walk up a road passing houses, buildings, and shops. This is your first time walking through Vros as it is hard journey. At some point you all decide to jog, and sometimes run. Some of you jump on Caravans to hitch a ride further up towards the Circle. To you, the center of the city looks as though folks carved structures from the mountain. Father has always told you that in the past, this city was a small mountain, carved out by the hard wind, and possible water that formed at the top. Since it has been turned into a city, the frost and water had disappeared, but the people continued to flourish in this land. Years and years of history are carved out by your people - a majestic city it is. They call Ty'er Ra'Kuunijin known to us as City of Radiant Beauty. It was named after the first daughter of Uss' Binae, Mother of the first Circle. To honor the Great Spirit, she believed that her daughter is a reflection of our great people. 

On certain areas, where the walls stood to protect the Circle, you can see all of the houses and fields that make this city radiant. It is breathtaking. 

With every chance you get, you stop to take in the sights. You had never seen it. It would seem that the Circle touches the clouds, like reaching for the hand of the Great Spirit. 

Minutes turned to an hour, until you begin to make your way down the city road towards your father's  house. There was no sight of the dark strangers. No one seems to be following you and your companions. You pass the last gates to meet the road that lead to your father's house. 

This trek was worth it. You catch another caravan as the rider offers you all a lift, since he is passing your father's house on the way to one of the city's markets. 

At a distance, you see your father's house. You tell the rider, "Leave us here." He slows down so that you can jump off the caravan. You and your companions run towards the house and open the door. 

You turn to your friends and say, "Come in with me..." 

"Why Iviaena? What is going on? Is your father alright?" Atruii says, while you push open the door.
