Moon´glade` n. 1. The bright reflection of the moon's light on an expanse of water.
“MOONGLADE” is a non-canon Fairy Tail rp. Our story begins in the northern continent of Giltena, more than 400 years after the “disappearance of dragons”. With a focus on the Kingdom of Valeria, a country with a deep history revolving around the Moon Dragon, you will be able to play a vital role in the development of this kingdom--unless you choose a different journey. In Giltena, revered dragons have chosen to walk among you, and villains posing as heroes litter both the royal courts and the city streets. Weary traveller, what will you bring to the kingdom? Forge your path, and push forward through a world of magic and dreams.
WATER DRAGON FEST
The portside Town of Elmina is holding their annual Water Dragon Festival in honor of the Water Dragon Waka. Water Dragon Waka is a known foodie, so there will be a cooking competition held by the city lord as well as a variety of street vendors set up to celebrate the festivities. Additionally, the royal family of Valeria will be holding a hunt in the nearby Pouring Rainforest in honor of this event. This forest is controlled terrain so they will be releasing captive beasts into it. Choose. Do you want to help or hinder with these activities? The choices are yours.

There was a light breeze going through the desert, carrying the sand grain by grain. They day was still young as a desert exploration required some preparation. Firstly she brought some light thin clothes that would reflect the warmth away from her, revealing almost no skin except a bit of her face. She hated it, but it beats getting sun burns. Secondly, enough water for a few days as even if the investigation didn't take that long they could always get lost. Especially since she didn't know the desert. Supposedly she was to team up with some legal guild mage. Of course, any info they would have about her would be that she was a mage without a guild. She also brought a small tent just big enough for two people as the desert at night supposedly was as cold as it was hot at day.
Kate would wait for her partner at the edge of the desert. Even just outside and this early the heat could be felt already, despite all the protections. It was tempting to take a bit of water, but she wouldn't give in to temptation that easily. Since she didn't knew who she had to put up with for this job, maybe they didn't research their job at all before hand? If she didn't had to walk all day in this desert she'd create a cool wind illusion, at least it would feel nicer. But she didn't know if she'd need her magic at all. So she couldn't use up her mana willy-nilly. After the job was done... That was another story. In hind sight, maybe this job wasn't such a good idea after all. The pay was good, but having to put up with this desert was a turn off. It would remain to be seen as if who'ever joined her would help or make a bad situation even worse.
The desert was far from Orla's favorite place in the world. It was hot, dry and had very few interesting things to look at. Yet she would still maintain the skip in her step as she traveled along the road toward her destination, her mind focused on the positives of her adventure! Sure there wasn't a lot of special stuff, but the dunes were still kinda pretty. And she was going to get to work with someone outside of her guild for the first time, which was sure to be an exciting new experience. Dahlia gripped the straps of the backpack that contained her supplies as she squinted into the distance, a lone figure coming into view on the horizon. Oh no! They were there already!?[break][break]
Dahlia would hop off the ground and spread her arms out wide, her entire body starting to glow with a radiant golden light that could easily be spotted from a distance. Her speed would immediately increase dramatically, causing the hood of the plain cloth robe that shaded her skin from the sun to fall away from her head and blow in the wind behind her. Luckily her long blonde strands would remain tucked into the garb, though the wind would cause the ball of puff that still stuck out to frizz a bit in the wind that whipped around her.[break][break]
It wouldn't be long until Orla would find herself right by her partner, her arms still stretched out to her side as if to balance herself as she game to a sudden halt beside Kate and planted her feet on the ground. There was a pause as the shorter girl lurched forward, her face wincing as she felt her stomach churn from the sudden stop. In that brief pause one would swear that the girl was about to lose her lunch, but she seem to recover quickly enough to prevent such an unfortunate event. Instead she would turn a bright smile toward her purple haired partner, her lips curling into a bright smile as if nothing had happened.[break][break]
"Orla Osgood, reporting for duty! You're my partner, right? It's so nice to meet you!" Her bright blue eyes sparkled as she spoke, gaze fixated on the woman's face. "Gosh, you're so pretty..." Orla's hands would move to rub her own cheeks, as if she could somehow will her face to gain some similarity to the other's/ "I bet you're really strong too. But don't worry, I'll try my best to keep up."
"Ha there you are." Kate said rather friendly. She'd look up her partner, at least she brought her own protection clothes. As long she did that they'd be fine unless they got stuck for a long time in this desert. While Kate was prepared for that, she hoped it wouldn't happen.
"My name is Kate. Kate Lynn. Hmm... Not too bad... " She didn't care if she was wearing clothes that covered her whole body, Kate could recognize a cutie if she saw one! When her beauty was complimented she giggled herself a little.
"Of course, but you're not bad-looking either, Orla-chan!" Yup exactly her taste. A plan to take her home after the request was already forming in her head. For now though, the request at hand was more important as much as she hated it.
"Strong isn't the word I'd use... but I'm sure if there is any danger we'll be fine. Just be careful of the snakes... and the scorpions... and the lions..." That sounded a lot better in her head than when she said that out loud. And those were just the dangers she knew off thanks to her investigation. They don't ask them to investigate the dessert for nothing so there may be dangers in there that they didn't knew off.
Well we'd better be off, we've nothing to wait for anymore. Are you prepared for the journey through the desert? Water, food? Those were the most important as Kate had brought a small tent that would have no problem holding the two girls, though it may be a little cramped... not that Kate minded that.
It was nice to see that she was partnered up with a friendly person for this mission. She was sure that she would have been able to enjoy herself with just about anyone, but having someone who would be easy to talk to made for an extra little treat. She even had a nice name! Orla would mouth it a couple times as she glanced off toward the desert, both in memorization and because it was just kind of fun to say.[break][break]
She would take in a slight gasp as the compliment was directed toward her, eyes widening slightly as she looked to Kate. After the split second reaction her face would return to it's previous cheerful smile, her foot idly kicking at the sandy ground. "Thank you, ma'am." She never was good at receiving such words praise, but her uncle taught her a long time ago that it was better to just accept a compliment. Arguing would not only make them want to double down on their comment, but could even potentially offend people! Though his phrasing was a bit more...crude.[break][break]
Her head would bob up and down quickly as she reached back into her travel pack and pulled out an over sized sketchbook and pencil, her gaze intently her hands working quickly to flip through the many pages of sketches and notes before arriving on a blank space. Once there she would start to take notes, her hand working quickly to jot down the warning. "Snakes...Scorpions...Lions. Got it!" She hadn't ever heard of desert dwelling lions before, but Kate sounded like she knew what she was talking about, so she wasn't about to question her![break][break]
Shoulders would shrug in an effort to heft the pack on her back, her gaze still focused on her sketchbook as she continued to draw the beginnings of a map to help chart out their journey. It would be pretty rough, but maybe it would help them come back to the guild with some usable info. "I've read a lot about desert travel. I think I've got everything I need! There should be enough to share if you need, too." Despite her words the bag seemed to be rather light weight. But at least she seemed confident.
