The start of something new?

Eventually Quelaag scuttles up to the wall where the group are waiting, "A little creature told me I was needed here?" she asks with a smile.

Vesemir tenses up at the sight of her but quickly calms down, his honed reflexes from battling monsters for over a century causes him to be incredibly wary of the woman.

Reima notices but doesn't say anything, "Is there anyone else that needs to be present?"

Kuretz "Talem and Kalini maybe? Nah, the Prospects need someone to keep them busy."

Risryn nods, "We are enough for now."

Vesemir "Well then, the first thing I'd like to ask is what your plans are from here on?"

Quelaag "I intend to stay with Reima." she states with an air of absoluteness.

Solaire and Priscilla nod at this, both agreeing with the sentiment.

Vesemir "I, see... But, what does that mean exactly?" he inquires.

Quelaag shrugs, "I'm not too sure, we are new to this world and are no longer cursed with immortality..."

Reima "The Dark Sign is gone?" he asks, having wondered when it'd happen.

Quelaag nods, "After everyone had awoken they found that the curse no longer afflicted them, the Dark Sign remaining as nothing but a scar."

Reima "That's good, though everyone will have to be more careful than they usually are... No more jumping to your death for a past time." he says with his arms crossed.

Solaire "I'm sure the Chaos Servants will be upset by the news."

...

Kuretz "Yo, we're immortal as well but have never felt the need to kill ourselves for fun..."

Solaire "It was more to preserve our sanity than anything else Sir Kuretz. In our world boredom is a dangerous thing and can lead to someone going "Hollow"... A frail husk that lives for living sake, it's only instinct to attack others to absorb their souls."

Kuretz "That's fucked bro." he mutters.

Quelaag "It is... But we're saved from such a fate, thanks to Reima." she says with a smile.

Vesemir coughs into his hand, "That's very interesting, but we have gone off on a tangent... Miss Risryn, what're your plans for the future?" he asks.

Risryn rests her hand on her sword and ponders before replying, "Staying with Reima is best."

Vesemir sighs, "Reima, do you have any plans for what to do with all these people?" he asks, hoping that something could be done. He didn't mind people being present in Kaer Morhen but knew that the keep wouldn't be able to sustain all these people.

Reima taps his foot, "Er... I was thinking about this earlier but couldn't think of a place other than this that wouldn't require us conquering a kingdom... Basically, what I'm suggesting is that we build a village near Kaer Morhen for all everyone..."

Vesemir's brows furrow, "We have neither the resources, connections or tools for such a task Reima."

Reima "You forget I have an army of magical elves to help, plus I've got a huge amount of food, materials and even tools stored away."

Kuretz "Food isn't really a problem for us either as we don't need to eat when we wear our masks." he states.

Quelaag "This region is a welcome change from the Caves near the Demon Ruins.." she adds.

Vesemir sighs, "Are you sure about this Reima? It'll likely attract the attention of Kaedwen... The only reason this land hasn't been cultivated is due to the infestation of monsters in the region. Setting up a villa-no, city, will require you clear most of them."

Reima "Well, it'll be our land, and we are free to protect it. Be it from the Wild Hunt, Humans or Monsters."

Solaire "I think this plan shows promise." he says with the others nodding in acceptance.

Vesemir scratches his chin, "I'm too old for this. If you are going ahead with this then you will be in-charge of it Reima. That also means you are responsible for anything that goes wrong." he says as he walks away.

Kuretz "Er, did he give us permission?"

Reima shrugs, "Probably... Wait, what does he mean I'm in-charge? Isn't that you guys jobs?"

Solaire grins, "It means you're leading us my friend, as you'd done back in Lordran."

Risryn nods, "And in Raslan."

Reima palms his face in exasperation, "Whatever... You guys go inform everyone of what's happening." he says as he walks away to find Arie, he's needed to have a chat since their reunion. That, and he needs a break to think about what'd just happened... If they think he's going to become some sort of mayor then they've got another thing coming. He'll force the position on Solaire if he needs to as managing a city sounds boring as fuck!

Quelaag, Solaire and Priscilla begin to walk back to the Chaos Servants to make known the final decision. The trio discussing what kinds of things they'd need to bring this "City" to fruition.

Priscilla "Dragon Statue." she states.

Solaire "Sun dial."

Quelaag "A mural for Quenall." she says with a forlorn look.

The trio were honestly excited as creating something like a city of their own, having only used the ruins of other societies as homes for centuries. They wished to integrate many things into what would be made and hopefully it'd be as great as they imagined.

Quelaag wasn't really involved in the creation of Izalith as it was completely up to her mother as to what got built, eventually the demons started building things of their own, most of it to worship what became of her mother.

Priscilla didn't really care what was built, so long as she got to spend time with those she loved. The distant memories of isolation still present and effecting her.

Solaire himself was the heir to Lordran, being Gwyn's first born he always expected to be King someday, though that's long in the past. The only thing that remained was hatred for his father and siblings, and the longing to build something of his own. Now however, it seemed he'd finally get the chance to create something in his own image, without his father's input.
