21st of Cylus
The twilight of cylus has began for the "day" as the cult members began to start walking around the city. It was clear they had a mission and were prepared to do as their leader commanded. Watching from their hut with deep concern for the chaos that seemed to keep getting worse. Looking to each other the group knew something had to be done. But if not handled correctly, the part of the citizen’s following the foolish cult would riot. They could not afford to have the entire city up in arms against each other. Surely there was some way to fix the problem quietly while being efficient. The Iyo were the only way for the city to light its homes and businesses.
Fire was not a viable option because it would catch every tree in the area on fire. Looking to the cocoon in the jar nearby, the group had to figure out someway to hide the iyo from sight. If the attack could be held of just long enough for the iyo to hatch, perhaps the strange color would finally be gone. Taking a deep breath, the head of the elders sent out for anyone who stood against the cult to meet with them in secret.
“We must protect the iyo. Even if that means they must be hidden where the cult cannot find them. We must be careful how we move them. It could cause even more chaos among the people. It is a hard decision, but Moseke would not want her home and creatures attacked in such a way,” the oldest elder stated.
The cult moved quickly continuing to stir up anyone they could find to listen. Many of the businesspeople told anyone that came in with such accusations to leave. The hunters that gathered around the fire pits the young ones especially were ready to fight for their home. The unrest could be felt on the very air. It would soon come to a head whether someone wanted it to or not.
If anyone who had been at the initial gathering came to the elders they would find a group of older men that seemed concerned. Yet none were actually speaking, it felt like words were being passed between them without their mouths needing to even move. Motioning for the person or group to sit the leader would address them.
“Thank you for coming. I am embarrassed that our citizens are behaving this way. Moseke would be so embarrassed. I must ask something of you that could be highly dangerous. At this moment Gladysic will address the city again. He believes it is time for the iyo to be destroyed. They must survive. For now the nest is hidden from his eyes, that leaves the ones here in the city as his targets. We ask humbly that you assist us in hiding the iyo. We will not ask you where you hide them nor will we dictate where. It is best only those that you absolutely trust help in this endeavor,” the older man took a deep breath, “helping us will cause you to be targets. Please take some time to think about this and let us know your decision.”
