 Serenity Pass is designed to help restore one's connection to nature even before exploring the rest of the mountain. The stones used in the construction of the pass have an ancient, sagacious aura about them. Midst from the clouds help obscure the view of human travelers below, and the waterfall's rushing water help keep the mind at ease. The pass is surrounded by trees and vines growing up the rocky face. There is a very faint ozone smell, like after a rainstorm, but it's more pleasant than unpleasant and punctuated by a drift of evergreen.
The path snakes in and around the mountain itself, splitting off into the various amenities. Like a maze, a unique opportunity to relax and heal from the stresses of life can be found around every corner.
As of right now, the elves are accepting donations as payment and allowing people to enjoy the services freely. Their motivations are purely benevolent. However, there are those who are in favor of a more... practical long-term financial strategy.
Violence is forbidden here. The elves make sure of this. |

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238 
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

[Enter from The Celadine Hills] In a bright flash of light, Naoki arrives, standing alongside Kate Green and Jun of the Celadine. Not the worst method of travel she's ever used, Naoki thinks, all appendages seem to be in order. Jun’s comment momentarily ignored, Naoki spends a moment to look around. They seem to be standing in a courtyard of sorts. Stone arches lead off in various directions, and the sound of rushing water fills the air. The air feels... different, too, though she can't quite place how. Curious, Naoki takes a few steps over toward one of the arches and looks through. “ Ooh,” she says, mildly surprised. Just beyond, there seems to be a cliff, of who-knows-what height. It’s difficult to say; mist obscures the ground, but they’re apparently a good portion of the way up a mountain. That would explain the air. The Sun Marshals ought to enjoy themselves trying to keep up, she muses. |

Jun of the Celadine
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,410
Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

Empress Naoki and Kate Green would hear Jun take a deep breath, satisfied breath right next to her. "Refreshing, isn't it? I made the teleportation scroll a few weeks ago." She said proudly. "But I just haven't had time to check it out. I heard it's hard to leave once you're into it. There's still a bit of walk since exercise is supposed to be part of the cleansing process, but I promise it won't be too difficult, more of a leisurely stroll." Most of the stone arches punctuate a path leading to an ancient-looking stone arch bridge, which itself leads deeper into the mountain. The first arch is flanked by two statuesque, young elves (relatively speaking; elves are known to live for centuries). They were wearing thick tunics with multiple layers. One was apparently male, and the other female; they had similar length hair, however. They both waved serenely at the three ladies. "I know you're infinitely wealthier than me but please, allow me." Jun reached into her pocket and pulled out some semi-precious stones and a few Isranian coins. "Don't misunderstand. This isn't a toll, but rather a donation. They also take food and clothing. They're basically monks." She took a few steps forward, bowed respectfully to the elves, and deposited the baubles into a large clay pot. "Alright, whenever you- OH SHI-" Before she could complete her phrase she covered her mouth; she didn't want to use profanity in front of the elves. The male of the two noticed and grinned as if he wanted to chuckle. "I forgot about the Sun Marshall guards." She said with an amused grimace.

Kate Green
Dedicated
Assessing the damage w/ Naoki
Roleplay posts: 309
Age: 19
Physical Description: Kate is built slenderly, but working in her gardens and on the field has defined her muscles. Her eyes shine with an amber hue and her silvery hair never seems to get dirty from the work she still insists on doing herself.
(Full Sized image: http://imgur.com/bJTWavF)
Clothes and Equipment: She wears a pink apron on her that has a simple square pattern. Underneath, brownish green pants and a black tube top. Many tools, such as a flower shovel, a small rake and a spray bottle, fit inside her pockets. A large red ribbon complements her hair.
When she was working at the Midnight Sun, she replaced her red ribbon with a black one she was gifted when she first joined. She also had a green dress, gifted to her by Naoki.
After being gone away for a long time, she has since expanded her wardrobe, and tends not to think about her clothes too much and follows whatever trends Naoki says are popular now.

What a difference a change of air makes.
Kate could just feel the atmosphere of the Hills was over her like a nutritious rain. She shot up her hand and giggled. Tugging on Naoki's ear she whispered: "The air is- pfft... The air is touching meee..." It was a whole new perception on the surroundings. A thought passed that there might be some long-lasting consequences on her cognition but given the healing properties of the spa that held business here that was unlikely.
"Jun. Honey." Kate laid a hand on Jun, missing her shoulder just minutely and then course correcting to her elbow. "They are soldiers. Marching is what they do. They'll be fine... Can we jus- go? I wanna baaath..."

Naoki offers her most innocent and unassuming smile to the elves, making a mental note to send someone over later with a large donation. If one didn’t know any better, they might be deceived into thinking her intentions are pure.
The tug on Naoki’s ear has her spinning to face the perpetrator, and what Kate has to say has her grinning a big, dopey sort of grin.
“Is it?” Naoki chuckles. Something’s certainly touching Kate. Is it oxygen deprivation? Is it the gentle onset of insanity, or is some elven ghost coping a feel? Who can say?
Not her, Naoki thinks, taking a deep breath. Certainly not her. Though whatever the case may be, it seems like Naoki is prepared to continue.

Jun chuckled. "Bath is good. Let us bath then." She bowed politely towards the monks. "Follow me guys..." Jun would start leading them down the ancient mountain path. Ornate stone guard rails kept the path secure. The roar of a distant waterfall harmonized with the breeze. Gnarled trees with verdant leaves and branches clung fast to the softer spots of the earth in the mountainside. The further along they traveled, the more the path seemed to split and take different routes. Strangely, Jun seemed to know exactly where they were going. "So here's the thing." Jun smirked guiltily. "You're supposed to let this place surprise you a bit, let nature guide you and what-not. We could just as easily come across a meditation stop as a hot spring to bathe in, or a masseuse's hut. It's part of the experience. But, I happen to know that the hot springs have a high concentration of ambient light energy... and I can sense it." Around the next bend would come what appeared to be the entrance to a cave... <Exit to Laeneth Hot Springs> |
