Lorzepkan Reawakening: East Jezerná River

Tohi_CZ

The sun climbed above the horizont, as group of soldiers stepped of a steam boats, which was afloat at the most eastern lake of the Jezerná River lakes. The workers quickly got to work and began unloading materials. Lumberjacks began to chop down trees, chefs started to build a fireplace, guards began to scout the area. Soon enough a small wooden fortress was standing few hundread meters from the lake's shores.
More boats arrived to the location.
Group of around 50 soldiers - of which 5 were magic-holders, set off into a long scout mission more east. To the lands of Mur, in Lorzepkan Murepk / ⰏⰖⰓⰅⰒⰍ

Karthia remains patient

Rootmeir's Fort, Lesser New Karthian Hills, The Mur Refuge

The fort was quite a new one. Built only a few years ago, it housed 11,000 Karthian troops and served as the Headquarters of the Karthian Military Administration in Lesser New Karthian Hills. The name may not be innovative but their equipment and the fort's armament were first class. It was chill and silent, at least for now. The room was well-lit. Major Lius Bathael sat in his room. His deputy, Jamie was on the other side of the room, checking transmissions and some paperwork from nearby villages.

"Sire! Sire !" Came shouting a soldier into the room.

"What is it, boy ?"

"R-452, the UAV, spotted a group of unknown troops coming from the north-west, near the camp J-11 !"

"Status report !"

"At least 4 magic users, the rest are infantry. The total number is unknown. Their uniform matches that of Lorzepk."

"Damnit... Get me the scouts from the east !"

"Yes, sire !"

"Jamie !"

"Yes ?"

"Get the transmitter. We need to inform the Headquarters !"

"Yes, sire !"

"Why are those Lorzepk encroaching into our lands? Lorzepk damit !"

"Sire, transmissions ready !"

"Great. Give me the tablet !"

"Here you go, sir !"

"Good job Jamie !"

"Thank you sire !"

Lius hastily wrote a message to the Karthian High Command at New Orstia, the seat of the Viceroyalty of the Murs. He took a long breath and gave the tablet to Jamie.

"Send this. The Minister of External Affairs will question them."
"Yes, sire !"

And thus began the events that would forever change the face of the Mur Refuge...

A group of 33 people, 30 in a very flexible silver-colored steel armour with green color coating, 2 in green coating with yellow stripes, and 1 with a pink stripe approached the gates. They all deperarted from the rest of the group to explore ahead.
The one with a pink stripe, known as Captain Adéla, lead the whole group forward. Soon entering a thick forest.

Hoota-ke-Roinam

An Avian Village on the banks of River Yuvin, North of Fort Rootmeir

The river was peaceful. The dock was mainly empty except for two fishermen. Both of them had caught sufficient game but decided to try their luck, further up in the river.

"𑊒𑊁𑊘 𑊡𑊂𑊂 𑊊𑊖𑊋 𑊀𑊚𑊡𑊗𑊁𑊚𑊆 ?"
Did you catch anything ?

"𑊕𑊂𑊗𑊁𑊚𑊆 𑊡𑊃𑊖"
Nothing yet.

"𑊚𑊀𑊡𑊝𑊃 w𑊃 𑊥𑊦𑊂𑊂𑊣𑊘 𑊆𑊂 𑊜𑊂𑊢𑊗𑊃𑊢 𑊂𑊛 𑊗𑊃 𑊥𑊖𑊢𑊃𑊀𑊠 ?"
Maybe we should go further up the stream ?

"𑊕𑊦, 𑊗𑊖𑊥 𑊖𑊂𑊂 𑊘𑊚𑊆𑊃𑊢𑊂𑊂𑊥।"
Nah, that's too dangerous.

Suddenly there is a noise.

"𑊒𑊁𑊘 𑊡𑊂𑊂 𑊦𑊃𑊀𑊢 𑊗𑊖 ? [The other nods] 𑊂𑊦, 𑊣𑊂𑊂𑊄 𑊥𑊂𑊠𑊃𑊂𑊚𑊃𑊥 𑊊𑊂𑊠𑊁𑊚𑊆 𑊗𑊁𑊥 w𑊀𑊡 ! W𑊃𑊖 𑊗𑊃𑊢𑊃 𑊁𑊥 𑊠𑊂𑊢𑊃 𑊗𑊚 𑊂𑊚𑊃।"
Did you hear that ? Oh, look someone's coming this way ! Wait there is more than one.

Tohi_CZ

The scouts stoped at the beach, holding their trustworthy rifles close to their chests. They noticed a empty dock, not a abonded one?

Few guards took out their steel water bottles, nicknamed "Oceláčki|ⰙⰜⰅⰎⰀ'ⰝⰍⰉ" (ocel means steel), while others looked around.
Captain Adéla: "In my command, please go secure the surrounding area. I feel like we are not alone in here"

The soldiers nodded and began to to explore the sorrounding area.

Tyreis

The two of the Avians stood staring at the opposite Bank of the river. They understood that the figures approaching were humans for sure (thanks to their excellent vision) but didn't know who they were.

The first Avian looked at the other, they two had a brief stare before both of them agreed to go check them out.

The two spread their wings and leaped across the river, to the other bank. The humans were clearly military officers. The Avians couldn't tell who they were but they decided to assume them to be reinforcements their Local Resident, Jeré Moront had promised would be arriving in a few days.

As soon as the humans saw the Avians, they didn't greet them but started muttering words which where alien to the Both. The Avians didn't understood what the humans wished to communicate. They soon understood that these "supposed reinforcements" didn't know their language and tried to use body language to make the humans follow them to the Office of the Resident, where the Local Resident resided, the only person who knew both Aviae-speak, Landsprek, and Common.

Tohi_CZ

The Avians landed in front of a small group.
"Zastavte!" yelled one of the scouts on the others around him.
All of them turned to the avians. As the avians were not armed, not a single guard raised their rifle.
"Govorjité Lorzepksky?" asked scout. The avians clearly did not understand the scout. The scouts were not sure of what to do. "Volajte hauptmana"
The scouts nodded and began to call for the captain: "Tu sme, Hauptmane!"

Soon enough the captain, alongside her guards, made her way to the place where the scouts and the avians met.
The avians began to signal something, the captain imidiately understood, wanting to know who are they and why they were here.
"In my command, we shall follow them"

Tyreis

The two Avians walked up to a bridge, and both leaped over to the other side, gesturing the humans to follow them into the village, walled with timber.

The village was pleasant and chill. A few children were playing by the previous night's campfire, who glared curiously at the Soldiers. As they walked they reached a house with colonial architecture, perhaps the only building not made of timber and straws but stones and planks in this village.

There was a large board with a number of Avians armed with lances and staffs. The Guards and the Two had a talk. One of them came towards the Soldiers and spoke in broken common, "Who leader ? In an' talk." He said.

Tohi_CZ

The scouts made a tightly packed half circle, Captain Adéla in the centre. She spoke in a nearly perfect Common with an accent to the Avian.
"I ám 'd leader of 'dis group, Captain Adéla. Who is your leader?" She said calmly.

Tyreis

"Leader ye ? Understood. Weh leader is thy Ser Jeré Moront. In, in talk. Come." He replies, taking the captain inside while the others are gestured to stay outside.

The building was modestly decorated. There were portraits, artifacts, and symbols all unknown to the Lorzepk Soldiers. Soon they stood in front of a room. The man knocked, and a voice came from the inside. The man replied in the native language and opened the door. The room had a C-shaped office desk in the middle with further decorations and documents along with an almira and a large antique clock. There was a well-dressed man, with military decorations and in a waistcoat. He was drinking tea and staring outside the window, looking at the garden at the back of the cabin. He turned his head towards the Captain. He gestured for the Avian man to close the door while he took the Desk's complimentary seat.

He sighed, placed the teacup on the desk, and said, "Greetings. I am Ser Jeré Moront, Resident-in-charge of Kaeneu i.e. this country side. Now you please lady."

Tohi_CZ

Captain Adéla took of her helmet, a medium-long black hair, not brushed at all, fell down on her back armor.
"Good day, Ser.....Jeré Moront. I am Captain Adéla Šlajs from the Queendom of Lorzepk. I'm here with my team of scouts, exploring the east off our outpost in the coast of East Lake on the Jezerná river. You don't seem like those birds, Moront?"

Tyreis

"Lorzepk ? I had guessed that through your uniform. It seems your team has wandered into forgien territories. I am aware of the Lorzepk's expeditions on the river but May I inform you that you're in an Avian Cheifdom, the Cheifdom of Kaeneu to be precious." He took a pause and had a look at the Avian man.

"My fellow citizens are Avians no birds. They maybe a descendant like humans are of monkeys but anyways."

Tohi_CZ

"We thought that Murepk were unpopulated, I was not informed of any Cheifdoms or any avians.? And the Jezerná river is ours, to my knowledge."
"I have already heard of sapient birds and avians, back from o' holy Lorzepk."

Tyreis

Jeré raised an eyebrow. "I had been notified that there are few outsiders. But may I inform you that you've lost your way. I'm not being rude but wandering into unknown Territories thinking they are unoccupied is a big question mark..." He says sipping some more tea.

"River Résaul is quite under your influence. We are aware of the expansion into the lake—" Jeré is interrupted by a knock. "Come in. What's the matter ?" He says. The door opens and a human soldier rushes to the Resident. "Ser, we've received a notification that foreign troops are roaming in the area. I think they refer to these people we spotted via UAV. Should we inform the HQs that we've found them ?" He says hastenly.

"Oh yes. Jolly do."

"We should also inform the citizens. Many have gathered outside."

"I will address them soon." He says turning to the captain, "Your troops would be provided a temporary stay here. I hope Lorzepk is willing to cooperate. And oh sorry I forgot to inform you that this region is under a subsidiary alliance with Tyreis. I would send a transmission to your high command. I believe you would be following their orders. Anyway, it is a great opportunity for both nations to have a talk. Especially about the project—"

"Ser, should we send the Lorzepkan soldiers to the Inn at Northern Hoota-ke-Roinam ?"

"Ahh yes. Anyways, ahh Adela you can follow me please, I need to introduce you to the natives. They are quite friendly but territorial. Won't be happy to hear rumours that you came to conquer their homeland."

Tohi_CZ

"Ó to Sestry." She sighed "Fine I will follow you, and no, we did not come to conquer any land. My troops will not stay here for long, Moront, but im just a mere captain."

Tyreis

"I'm aware. Your control is over dé River. But I need to explain this to the locals and stop rumors from spreading." He says with a calm and formal voice, quite the opposite of the captain.

Jeré walked outside, to the backyard he was looking at a few moments ago and walked up to a raised platform, in front of a large crowd of Avians.

Adéla followed him

"Dear friends and fellow citizens,

I have some news that I would like to share with you all. Some people from the neighboring village of Lorzepk stumbled upon our lovely village by chance while they were lost in the woods. They have been lost for a while and we want to extend a helping hand to them and send them back safely to their home. For now, we will treat them as our guests and make sure that they feel comfortable and welcome.

I want to assure you all that there is nothing to fear from them. They may not look like most of us, but They are regardless like us, civilized and friendly people of Pythia ! And I believe that our development plans would be viewed positively by them. Let's make the most of this opportunity and show them our hospitality. We will hold a festival to welcome them and make them feel at home.

Let us work together to make our village a better place for everyone, including our guests from Lorzepk. Thank you for your attention."

Tohi_CZ

Captain Adéla would wait for Moront to come down from the stage, and say to him in a calm voice. "Thank you for your hospitability, but did we require it? I do not know how the government will respond, but in my opinion, they will not be happy."

Tyreis

"We only wish to cooperate. I've told them that you've lost your way and for now are our guests. I don't want the locals to demand your team's execution or communal riots." He said, gesturing for the Avians to take the Captain and the Soldiers to an Inn, in a more 'Karthian' part of the village with stone houses and cabins.
