And suddenly Snuffles!

[The Blade]

At a point on a small plain on the continent of Light while the sun was shining down and many horribly cute animals might be wandering around there was a flash. This was a very bright flash, enough to burn the retinas out of any creatures nearby and anyone from the nearby town who had been unlucky enough to be looking at it. When the flash vanished after a few seconds there was a large amount of sand left over with a strange pair standing atop this small pile of sand.

"Snuffles, remind me never to teleport from a beach again, kay?" The first of the strange pair spoke, this one was a little girl, standing around 4'10" in height and spoke in a soft whisper, her voice heavily but gracefully lilted. She was upon the left shoulder of the second of the pair which spoke shortly after her "Of course Lilliana" The other part of the pair was a large mechanical construct, looking more alien than robot and it spoke with a deep, growling voice while standing around 17' in height. The robot, known affectionately as Snuffles, then reached up and gently picked up the girl, called Lilliana, and brought her to the ground, setting her down onto the ground with a gentleness that most would never think a robot of its size would have.

After the teleportation the two of them got their bearings, Snuffles noticing the town first but not mentioning it until the girl laid eyes upon it "Snuffles, lets go visit the people!" She giggled and then started to walk towards the town, the massive robot following behind her, scanning around for any enemies, not seeing any but loading its weapon anyway in case it had to protect its charge.

The light caused by the odd transportation actually wasn't too bad for the Elemental Light nearby. Matter of fact, they regularly look upon their god, Elmora's Sun, as part of their religious practices with no ill effects. When the people from the nearby castle saw the flash, they sent a couple people down to check out what was happening, knights as a matter of fact. The two wore full plate mail, regally decorated, with similarly regal helmets(though the visers were up). They flew upon golden, feathered wings to the pair as they were walking to the town, landing in front of the two.
"Hail, Tech-Craft. What is your business within the land of Light?"

[The Blade]

Snuffles' Knight Sight triggered as soon as the Knights started to move and he turned to face them before they had even landed, the gun on his right arm making a slight snikt as it loaded itself and bumped into Reaper Mode, prepared to just mow these Knights down should they try anything but they seem rather friendly at the moment. "Greetings humanoid beings." Snuffles growled towards the Knights, it wasn't that he was doing it intentionally it was that he naturally spoke like that.

The little girl then popped around from Snuffles' leg where she had hidden from the Knights until she knew they wouldn't attack which seemed to be about now. Lilli then stepped out into the sight of the two armoured humanoids and waved to them "Hey! Uhm... I'm Lilli and this is Snuffles, kay?" She smiled to them and hugged Snuffles' leg affectionately before looking up at him and shaking her head "Don't go attacking them now, I don't think they'll like you very much if you just go about killing their soldiers" She wagged her finger at the robot almost like a mother scolding a child, Snuffles then nodded and pointed his gun at the ground, settling to just stare at the pair of knights in front of him. "Well I don't really have any business here, I was on a beach and got a bit bored and it was raining so I wanted to go someplace sunny, like here, kay!" She gave them a big grin and tapped her bottom lip for a moment before looking over the Knights again and gasping loudly. "You guys have wings! That's so cool!" She shouted and skipped over to them, tapping at their wings with a small finger.

At the sight of the weapon, the Knights raised their left arms in front of them as tower shields of what looked to be pure light and pulled out their broadswords in a Defensive Style, though they dispelled the shields and stabbed the blades slightly into the ground as the mechanical construct lowered its weapon.
"Then as long as you keep your guardian under control, there should be no problems. And we indeed do have wings, little one. Why that surprises so many, I must say I am unaware."

[The Blade]

Snuffles snorted slightly at the sight of the blades that these Knights pulled, as if the weapons would actually harm him but he wasn't going to ruin their chances of having somewhere peaceful to stay for a while, he was rather sick of fighting random creatures. "I suggest you keep your swords away from the little one, she dislikes them and so do I" He growled out and just nodded slightly

Lilli however was having far too much fun looking at the Knight's wings to be bothered with what was happening, she kept poking at them and running her hands down them, even prodding at the point where they joined the Knight's skin "Well I've never seen a human with wings before, it's just really strange and cool, kay?" she cocked her head to the side and put her hands on her hips, her short hair bobbing to the side as well while a smile curved her lips upwards. She loved meeting others despite being absolutely crazy "Oh, hey, do you guys have a leader or something we can talk to? You all seem really cool and stuff, maybe your leader is like... the coolest winged human ever!!" She threw her hands into the air to accent her statement, once again showing her young age to any looking at her.

[@Pokemon Master Red]

"Yes, I see...Well,"The second Knight said, before turning himself into light and moving instantly behind the machine, his blade cleaving through air at light-speed as he moved, the end result of his action being his blade at the creature's back in a fraction of a millisecond, though not actually causing a scratch because of the attack's precision. "I suggest you keep your cannon away while you are guests in our land. We are the peacekeepers of the land of Light, and we will not tolerate warmongers who think themselves able to command us with petty threats of violence if we do not comply." After he said this, he pulled his sword back and put it in the ground once more, content with his show of force for now.

As his cohort and the guardian...chatted, the first Knight chuckled good-naturedly to the little one's words. "Yes, our king is indeed magnificent. Although I must say I've never heard of a human before, so I dont see what is so amazing that we have wings. The Elemental Dark and Wind have wings as well...It cannot be THAT uncommon for other species. Alas, little one, I must decline your offer to meet with our king. He is a very busy man, and it is not up to me to decide who may have a audience with him."

[The Blade]

Snuffles stood there as the Knight moved, not even reacting at all, despite the near instantaneous movement the armoured humanoid did, Snuffles still knew exactly where he was. Knight Sight used senses that worked at the speed of light and as such the robot just turned to face the Knight and seemed to glower down at him for a moment before opening his maw, showing the large plasma-flamethrower embedded there. "I was not making threats, I was telling a fact that both my protectorate and I dislike swords. The little one is scared of them" He growled back at the humanoid "If you are talking about my tone of speaking however, I am afraid I am unable to change that and as such, it would seem that mere facts could be taken as threats, I apologise for any misunderstandings" The massive robot then gave a bow to the winged Knight and turned back to face Lilli.

Lilliana also completely ignored Snuffles and the first Knight as they went through their small incident and at the moment was rubbing her face against the wings of the first Knight, giggling at the ticklish feeling against her cheek from them. "So there are others with wings? Can we go visit them?! Oh and can I have a piggyback ride, I've never actually flown before, kay?" she hopped up and down on the spot, looking up at the knight with wide, hopeful eyes and a massive grin on her face "But wait! I haven't even learned your names yet!" She covered her mouth and looked to be almost in shock.

[@Pokemon Master Red]

"Not merely the tone, but also the phrasing. Apologies for any misunderstandings. However, we shall keep our blades at the ready...Even if you are not hostile, we are outside city walls. These lands, while under the jurisdiction of the King and policed regularly, are not safe, and there is no guarantee that we shall not soon be under attack. You did happen to make a very obvious appearance, after all. These are as much for your benefit as our own...And believe me when I say I have seen offworlders die because they believed our 'primitive' weapons unnecessary or useless compared to their own." The Knight said, not reacting to the flamethrower in the least. He vaguely recognized the type of weapon it was, some form of Tech-Craft answer to using fire as a weapon. The Knight had fought packs of Elemental Fire bandits and brigands in his time, masters of fire magic. He was unafraid of any blazes to be made, magical or technological.

"Indeed you haven't, although I should think that fair as we both have failed to ask of your own. I am Knight Captain Soldir, and my companion is Knight Renault. I...Am unsure I shall be able to carry you effectively, at least not directly to the lands of Wind nor Darkness. I should be able to take you to the Gate, where you will be most able to go to any of the lands of Elmora you wish. I regret to say that your guardian would appear a slight bit heavy for a aerial journey, however. Neither I nor Renault will be able to lift him."

[The Blade]

Snuffles looked at the knight and cocked his head to the side before nodding slightly and raising his massive cannon once more "That is understandable but I assure you that nothing will sneak up on us while I still live and I will willingly die to protect Lilliana" He nodded and then sent out his knight sight, testing but he couldn't find any form of creature moving towards them with the sensory arrays. "I do not for a moment doubt the power of your blade and yourself knight but I also do not doubt the power of my protectorate, if you were to attack me you would also have her to deal with" He never explained anymore and instead opted to let them wonder on just how powerful the little girl actually could be if she so wanted to show off her power.

The girl in question was once again back to rubbing her face against the Knight's wings and enjoying the feeling of feathers against her face before she nodded. "It is quite alright, Snuffles usually introduces me anyway so that people don't have to ask for my name." She then stopped and thought over what the knight said before leaping onto his back and clinging there, her small arms wrapped tightly around his neck and her legs around his waist. "I wanna fly, kay? Please, please, pleaseeeee!!" She even pouted at him to try and get him to give her a flying trip. "Even just to the gate!" She was obviously rather impatient but seemed to be harmless.

"Fear not knights, I am more than capable of protecting myself should anything attack, just make sure to take care of the little one or it'll be on my head" A strange rasping sound would be heard from Snuffles, almost like a laugh as he bumped the weapon into reaper mode again with a quiet snikt once more.

[@Pokemon Master Red]

"Well, actually I was mentioning for the sake of speed, but if you say so...Come, Renault!" The first Knight said, helping the child to make sure she didn't fall off.
"Soldir, you're...You're just weird, you know that?"
"Bah! I am only a chivalric knight! There is nothing even remotely odd about it!"
"Riiiiight...Just keep telling yourself that, Knight Captain. Oh, Guardian-Thing, uh, Snuffles was it? 'Fore we go, I should warn you that the Gate isn't in one of the towns. If yer gonna follow us on foot, you'll want to head for that mountain range riiiight over there. If you look carefully you'll see a path cut into the mountain. It barely looks different from the normal rock but its there, just follow it to the summit and you'll find the Gate. Try not to die on the way, eh?" Renault said, pointing to a mountain range several miles away(no doubt with at least a dozen dungeon crawls and dark forests between, as with anything medieval! ). And with that, the two took to the skies, making for the summit with much speed as they needed not avoid the obstacles on the ground in their way.

[The Blade]

Lilliana was ecstatic as she held on tighter and then took a deep breath to steady herself, she had never flown before nor had she ever been higher than on Snuffles' shoulders so this would be a totally new thing for the little girl and as was to be expected, she gasped and shut her eyes tightly as soon as they were off the ground. She didn't want to look down and see how small everything was becoming and therefore just scare the wits out of herself so instead she just held on and would do so until they landed and even some more after that because her arms would be locked in that position.

Snuffles however had a slightly less fun task, he had to walk all the way to the summit of the mountain but he was recently charged and he would've grinned if he could. It had been a long time since he hadn't had to protect the little one and it felt exhilarating to be able to just hunt on his own for now. He growled menacingly and then started forwards into a walk which quickly changed into a jog and then a loping run, his metal feet slamming into the ground with hefty thuds as he ran forwards, his long strides eating up the space between him and the mountain. He kicked his Knight Sight into full strength and the rest of his sights to be sure he wasn't going to be followed or attacked but it didn't seem like it, who or what would attack something his size?

The trip was likely exhilarating, but indeed quite short as the two knights touched down at a altar. The entire area appeared to be made as a shrine to the sun, and at this point of the day with the sun at its highest point in the sky, the entirety of the structure's interior was bathed in light despite obviously being indoors. At the center of the main room stood what appeared to be a doorframe without walls. Within the frame was a pool of silver, liquid to touch and glassy in appearance. It reflected not a image of themselves, but instead appeared to shimmer between several images, showing a earthen sancturary beneath a canopy of roots from what must truly be a massive tree, a cave full of waterfalls and powerful rivers, a pitch night sky with a field of bones jutting from the ground far below, a plain of fire stretching as far as the eye could see with black mountains of rock rising in pathways above the infernos...Et cetera. If she approached this Gate with one of the Lands held in her mind, then the Gate would link with that Land's Gate while she was nearby, as long as she remained close to it. The two Knights appeared to pray together within this temple...It may not any longer have been a place of active worship, but it was still their oldest and greatest temple to the patron diety of the Kingdom of Light. This place was holy, sacred ground to them, and they would be respectful to that which it represented while they were there.

Why, something bigger of course! Snuffles may have been big itself, but Elmora was a very big, very dangerous planet. Deciding to be a Hero was still a respected profession, and even working in parties many went forth only to die quite painfully. As Snuffles made his way towards the Gate, very loudly might I add, he caught the attention of many of Elmora's monsters. The first to take a stab at him came from below-The ground tore and broke as a monstrous maw erupted from the earth! A massive worm-like creature, with a hardened carapace made to withstand the temperatures deep below the surface of the planet and a open mouth full of extremely visceral needle-teeth. Acting from below, it had the advantage of the earth itself shielding much of its body, only having its 'mouth' come up for the strike.
