A Well Earned Celebration

[The battle was over and the god Reshiram defeated, driven away by the aid of Union and its allies. The city was safe, by and large, and as the news spread throughout the peoples of the tundra, they began streaming back into the settlement in droves. Dirty, ash-coated faces were filled with relief and gratitude when they saw that it wasn't just a rumor and that their home had indeed been spared. Not everyone was so lucky, but they'd weathered worse, of course. The people of Glacier endured, as they would always endure, and they were also a people that repaid their debts. And they most certainly all agreed that they owed their rescuers a debt.

So, as night fell after the battle, a great celebration was prepared in the center of Glacier. A wide square was cleared away in a matter of hours, and the people gathered what they could in a show of thanks. Tables of food, bonfires towering into the night sky to keep out the autumn chill, and throngs of cheering wellwishers lined the area. Warriors of glacier, men carrying swords and women all bearing axes offered enthusiastic handshakes and claps on the back. Music of all kinds was played, though tribal tunes full of horn and percussion, chanting and yodeling, and even some brass groups dominated the soundscape.

A platform for various elders was set up, and they offered speeches, of course...but those were somehow dwarfed by the presence of the divine beings that were waiting silently for the proceedings to end. Some of the gods that had come to the aid of the war parties had apparently decided to stay, though their reasons were as mysterious as they themselves. The humans would have their time, and the Servants would mingle freely throughout the evening.

Food, of course, is set out in piles. Meat, fish, arctic berries, and various pastries and the like line table after table. A smorgasbord of Glacier specialties, each with a new and unique flavor all their own, and some (such as the stew) possessing a smell that only a native could probably endure. Akutaq in particular seems to stand out among the worst offenders, but the Glacier natives seem rather fond of it, and offer it to their rescuers with great gusto.

And the rewards do not stop at simple meals. either. As the speeches begin to wind down, a woman some might find familiar walks up onto the stage carrying a singularly massive trunk and dropping it down onto the wood with a heavy thud.]


Southerners! You have done a great deed this day! We, the people of Glacier, would like to thank you and honor your sacrifice! Few would do as you have done, coming to the aide of strangers against the might of that dragon...and you have accomplished something we did not think possible. To that end, we would like to present you with the first of many gifts, a token of our gratitude and a promise that should you need it, we will come to your defense in a time of need!

[And then with a sharp kick, she cracks open the trunk and reveals a veritable treasure trove of three different stones to be distributed by her subordinates.]

Rest well, and enjoy the festivities! You are welcome here, for as long as you like! Eat, drink, and be merry within our halls!

[Acting as quickly as he could manage, Waver slipped up behind Right and offered his shoulder as a support to help lower him down.]

Don't be dumb and you won't be getting them, [He grumbled, but his concern was plainly written on his face.] That dragon....wasn't normal. It didn't seem like Fairy-types were any more effective in that fight than anyone else.

[Right winces a little as he sits down with Waver's help.]

I think that's mostly due to him being part-Fire. Us Fairy-types aren't always strong against Fire-types.

I noticed that with my own spells.

[His cobbled together mimic of Moon Blast hadn't left much damage on the fiery God-- and that itself was unnerving.

Quickly surveying the damage, a few choice words could be heard uttered under Waver's breath...and Right might start to feel some warmth and relief as the young Magus executed a simple Heal Pulse with minimal flash or fanfare.]
lunchleader: (whoahhh dude)

[Right's about to ask for clarification when that Heal Pulse starts up. Almost instantly, the pain starts to wane.]

Whoah...wow. You're good.

Not really. I'm just mimicking a pokemon move. This isn't proper magecraft.

[Although mimicking moves suited its purposes. He didn't need anything flashy in order to be effective.]
lunchleader: (I told you so~)

[personal profile] lunchleader 2015-10-29 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
Still pretty good if it's just like the real thing.
untalented: (embarrassed)

[personal profile] untalented 2015-10-29 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
You-- you think so? It's not even flashy or anything...

[He knew that such effects were what Right had been hoping for-- and any other Magus in Sanctuary would have been able to deliver.]
lunchleader: (c'mon get happy~)

So? It's still magic, and magic is cool.

[And there's that sense of wonder he always seems to have whenever this kind of subject comes up.]

Even though there's no sparkles and you don't have an infinite amount of cakes to eat?

[That was a very important question, you know.]
