They road west and could see the Ocean beyond several great cities. They top a rise, and before them they see a city over flowing. Ships were constantly setting sail. Lines of people trailed miles down every road into the city.

Selene gazed ahead with hope in her eyes. She hoped desperately that this would be their new home. She looked around at her closest companions. "I need someone to look after our people while I scout ahead."

Several of her riders leap forward offering to take command. They also volunteer to support her as she rides into the city.

She chose two to accompany her, and left her own consort to lead the others in her absence. Then she went to her majestic Tigris, mounted up and started riding, indicating that her two companions should follow. "I know nothing of the lands beyond this one," she confided. "I pray that it will be safe for us."

They rode down the hill, and came up behind the line waiting at the city. The line before them was long, and in the very back were some bear like creatures, the Contessa was unfamiliar with.

Selene looked at the creatures in surprise. "Greetings," she said to the nearest, hoping they spoke the same language. "Do you know much about what is going on here?"

She was answered by another druid that stepped out from his companions. "We arrived not long ago. We were told to stand at the back of line to await instructions on entering the city as well as boarding instructions." He notifies the pale green tiger riding lady.

"I hate waiting," Selene replied with a sigh. "But I suppose it is all we can do. Forgive me, sir, I am not familiar with your kind. Might I know your name and your clan? I am Selene Tigerheart, Contessa of the Diarda and leader of Clan Tigerheart."

"I Am Uriah, of the Ursa Artko." He proclaims proudly. "We Ursa Artko have no clans that you speak of, we are a nomadic people that roam around on our own usually. Only gathering in bulk a couple times of the year." He says with a smile. "It is a pleasure to meet you Selene Tigerheart." He says with a small and polite bow.

She tried to hide her surprise regarding a talking bear. After all, the world was filled with many strange things. "I am honoured to meet you, Uriah. It appears that we are all in the same predicament. I very much hope to find our neighbours pleasant. The last thing I want is to go to war the moment we find a new home. Dare I hope you are similarly inclined?"

"We are a peaceful people." He answers simply. "My people and I are protectors of the nature that we has given life to us and have devoted our lives to defending that nature and healing the children of Mother Earth." He adds in a smile that shows his bear like teeth.

"My people are the same, though we do train at arms and fight to protect our lands. Young riders often take service elsewhere, if they've a longing for travel. But it seems we are rather alike nonetheless." She seemed almost to smile. "I thought myself knowledgeable about the peoples of this land, but I fear I know next to nothing about your people. Even the name is not really familiar to me. I regret that."

"The Ursa Artko have traveled a great deal south from our usually colder climate. Perhaps that is why you have not have previous mention of us. Though I will say that you and yours are also not known to me and mine. So do not worry about it." He says trying to fang smile at her persuasively.

She smiled politely at him. "It does not matter then. We can learn more about one another while we wait to get on the ships. I have travelled much, but it's true that I didn't travel all the way north. But I am sure there will be plenty to explore when we leave this place."
