Upnation

Upnation is the land beyond Downation. It is slightly larger than Downation as it is also joined by Midnation. It is alot more advance in the art of culture and teachings, though they lack in certain areas. It is alot more vast than Downation and more sights to see. Upnation hasa bit of an Eur-Asianic culture.

Starting Day 1
Everyone is doing their jobs aboard the ship.

Elaonore: *looks over the ship and witnesses the clear ocean*

''Daikeim walks up behind her and hugs her. ''"Enjoying the view?" He says with a kind hearted tone to his voice.

Elaonore: *smiles and holds Daikeim's hand* It's beautiful. Look...*can see many marine life of many assorted fishes. Some jumps out the water. She can also see nymphs swimming with those fish*

''Daikeim smiles and looks at the marine life. ''"It's beautiful... But, won't you miss Downation?"

Elaonore: There's no doubt that I will. But as long as I'm with you, anywhere can be my home.

''Daikeim kisses Elaonore then looks at the small island that is Downation. ''"I can say the same thing, but I think it'll be nice to get away and just relax... Like a vacation."

Elaonore: A vacation...*looks up into the clouds and smiles* I always wanted to go on one those...

"Well, I guess we can consider this a vacation... I mean, we're away from our home and going somewhere new, we can go sight-seeing when we arrive, ok?"

Elaonre: *kisses Daikeim on the cheek* I would love that...*smiles*

''Daikeim wraps his arms around her, joyous about the sight-seeing. ''"Ok, then it's settled, we sight see when we arrive. For now, I guess we wait."

Elaonore: Actually, I still want to speak to you about the dream I had...

''Intrigued, Daikeim gives a curious look to himself. ''"Hmm? Oh, do tell. I'd like to hear about it."

Elaonore: I was about our future together. We lived in a big enough house and we had 2 boys and 1 little girl. And we were happy.

''Daikeim gains a shocked expression. ''"Three... Children, umm... Alright, what are their names?"

Elaonore: I don't know...but once we do have children, you name the boys and I can name our daughter. Okay?

''The line hit Daikeim like a ton of bricks, the colour in his face just drained as his voice has a small tone of dread in it, although he isn't trying to be mean. ''"When... When we have children!?"

Elaonore: Yea...it's bound to happen sooner or later, right?

''Daikeim stays silent for a moment before responding. ''"Oh... Yeah, sooner or later..."

Elaonore: *playfully smiles* Don't be so distraught. It's only 3 children, right. I bet we can take them.

''Daikeim takes a second to think about it, before smiling himself. ''"Yeah, I guess you're right. It's only three, can't be that hard."

Elaonore: And besides, you can teach them how to be brave and strong and stand up for others who need help, just like you.

"Yeah, and you can teach them how to be kind and sweet, just like you." Daikeim chuckles and softly holds Elaonore's hand.

Elaonore: *yawns* Well, it's about time I head to bed. All this scenery is making me quire tiresome...*nearly falls asleep*

''Daikeim catches Elaonore and helps her to her room. ''"Here you go, you'll need all the rest you can..."

Elaonore: Thanks Daikeim...*gets into bed* I'll see you in the morning...*goes to sleep*

"Goodnight... Sleep well." Daikeim softly kisses Elaonore on her head before getting into his own bed and resting.

The Mid-Passage
''Daikeim wakes up and gets out of bed, quickly changing into some new clothes and cleaning himself up before walking over to Elaonore and smiling. ''"Good morning honey, how'd you sleep?"

Elaonore: *eyes are still closed, but she still smiles* I slept great. The moving waters made it feel so peaceful.

"Glad to hear, hmm... By now, we should be passing through Midnation. I'll be out viewing, come join me when you're ready." ''Daikeim softly kisses Elaonore's head and walks out the room, walking to the same place he and Elaonore was before she fell asleep. '' Captain: The it is. The Passage. After we pass through there we will be a few miles from Midnation. After we land at the End Harbor we're gonna have to walk the rest of the way.

"Ah alright..." ''Daikeim notices the towering statues ontop of the mountains, he ponders for a second before asking the captain. ''"The statues, what are they?"

Captain: One time, a group of honor-bound warriors called the Spartans came here after they had served their times during wars. That castle you see there was once where they would go to celebrate victories and compete over who had the most kills. They we valued here, even if they were human. and they thought of us a dear friends, sadly they no longer live anymore.

''Daikeim sighs. ''"Oh how times have changed..."

Captain: You can say that again...

The ships begins getting close to The Mid-Passage

"So, how long will this take? And I want to ask a question, what are you doing about the situation on Earth, regarding the Mythos and humans?"

Captain: What do you mean? We never been to Earth. We do know our brothers are out there. We can only hope they make it safely.

"That's right, I forgot... You guys don't have a means of passing the barriers, hmm... I might need to talk to your lord when we arrive at Upnation. Sort a couple of things out."

Captain: Sure thing. The Lord would love to share some more ideas to those who are knowledgeable.

"Ok, and regarding my first question of how long it'll take before we arrive?"

Captain: Oh, i don't know. One maybe two hours. It's a good long way, but we'll get there within the day.

''Daikeim takes a sigh of relief before looking at the scenery. ''"Good to hear, anything else I should know about Upnation?"

Captain: We have sort of a European-Asian culture. So it might be interesting to you guys. We also have more lanscapes, too which we don't know where they lead. That's just the many beauties of Fantasy.

"Yeah, that seems just about right..." ''He looks at some rolling landscapes. ''"Probably more of Fantasy than any of the nations know of..."

Captain: Yes sir. Breakfast will be served momentarily. You can just hang around on deck until every awakes.

"Ok, thank you Captain." Daikeim turns his head towards the statues again, admiring the way they have been built, and also ponders about the Spartans.

''Several minutes later, everyone awakes and they set up breakfast. There are grits, eggs, sausage, bacon, waffles, bagels, oatmeal, and pancakes with orange juice and milk.''

"Hmm, I might as well... I'm gonna get hungry sooner or later." ''Daikeim goes over to where breakfast is being served and easily tucks in with some of the dishes. ''

Elaonore: *comes up from below deck and rubs her eyes* I guess i awoke just in time...

''Daikeim looks at Elaonore and smiles. ''"Oh, hey Elaonore. Come sit and enjoy the food, it tastes amazing!"

Elaonore: I bet it does. *gets some grits,eggs,and sausage and mixes it all together. Says her grace, then begins to eat* Mmmm. Warm and delicious.

"I haven't eat like this in a while..." ''Daikeim suddenly goes into thought of how he's lasted this long without starving to death, but the enticing scent of the food draws Daikeim away from his pondering, allowing himself to eat more. ''

''Everyone finishes every bite of their breakfast and clean-up after themselves. After that they just marvel at the blue seas and ask one another what Midnation and Upnation are like.''

''Daikeim glances at the people on the ships before chuckling to himself, looking back at the scenery. He goes into his Half Dragon form and jumps high into the air and glides around the area, following the ships. ''"Hmm, I wonder..."

Captain: What you looking for up there?

"It's nothing, Captain, I'm only sightseeing." ''Daikeim glides around the landscape, done in such a way that it seems that Daikeim is relaxed. Only letting his wings do the work while he rests, somehow avoiding crashing and flying gracefully. ''

Elaonore: *looks at Daikeim flying and smiles*

''Daikeim dives down to the surface of any large bodies of water and lets his arms down, causing two continuous splashes to seem coming out of Daikeim's hands. Daikeim then flies straight up into the sky and opens his eyes, looking all around him before taking a sigh of relief and letting himself drop down to the floor. Only for his wings to naturally stretch out, slowing his descent and allowing him to softly land and lies on his back on the water, seemingly like a lily-pad. ''"And now to relax..."

1 hour later

Captain: About 30 minutes from here and we'll be there at the End Harbor.

Elaonore: What is Upnation like?

Captain: I can only say that people with your type of taste will enjoy it. Really. It's a sight to behold. It's just so...indescribable.

Elaonore: Is it that amazing of a place?

Captain: It's Fantasy. Absolutely anything can happen here.

''Daikeim glides over the ship and looks down at the Captain and Elaonore. ''"So, thirty more minutes... Alright then, I still find it weird that a peaceful nation would have a lord... Did a war happen or something?" Daikeim lands softly just aside the two.

Captain: We were tad bit disorganized with our system of business and gathering resources and we aren't really fighters, so we fell victim to poachers and Myth traffickers. Until he came, he showed us how to be more organized with our workflow and how to stand-up for ourselves. He even taught us new things we have never thought of making. We call him God's 2nd Gift.

"A name would be nice, and how can Mythos get disorganized-- Nevermind..." ''A quiet sigh falls out of Daikeim's mouth as he looks around, asking another question. ''"Hmm, I wonder. Is this person a Mytho as well?"

Captain: Oh he is,. He demonstrated to us by firing beams from his eyes and it shot a tree down. It was mighty impressive and he sure didn't like the humans. Mostly saying they are unworthy and are the true monsters. I can definitely here that.

Elaonore: Not all of them are that bad.

Captain: I know. It's just that ever since the Spartans have died, there has never been any more humans that have shown the slightest bit of kindness.

''Daikeim glances at the Captain. ''"There are some humans that have shown kindness, but they're few and far between... Also, by that point, your 'lord' is a fool to think that humans are unworthy... They just have to learn to stop having feuds with one another and the Mythos. They're like this now because they're afraid of us, and can you blame them?" ''Lightning and fire surges around Daikeim's hands.. ''"Do humans want their young ones to feel pain that comes from us? That's why they've done this to the Mytho; locking them up in Fantasy... To protect themselves." ''Daikeim sighs and speaks in a quieter tone. ''"How fast can this ship go, I want to get to Upnation as fast as we can."

Captain: They don't think we do the same? no they just hurt us and all we do is try to go on with our lives. Our loved have been taken and have never returned. We didn't want any trouble. We just wanted to go home. The humans aren't content with protecting themselves, they want us gone for good.

''Daikeim speaks in a more irritated tone. ''"Enough! Just point in the damn direction of where Upnation is, I'll get there myself... Tired of talking about this already."

Elaonore: Daikeim calm down. We all have different opinions on one another. Besides, the only kind people you ever met was my mother, everyone else just thought we were monster, even though we are not. But sometimes, humans don't want to see the truth, that we're just like them. They are always abit too quick on the trigger to actually get to know us. *touches where Daikeim had been shot at during their time in London* I do believe Myths and humans can be together, but not everyone wants to see that. They feel like it can't happen. But deep in my heart, I know it can.

''Daikeim stays silent before taking a step back and turning around, looking at the area around them. He then just sighs and flies up into the air, deciding to stay up there until they reach Upnation.''

Elaonore: *looks at Daikeim and sighs*

28 minutes later Captain: We're here.

Everyone looks over the boat and sees a Spanish-looking town up ahead and all seem really excited

Captain: That's the End Harbor. We dock there and continue the rest of the way on foot.

''Daikeim lands and looks around, before following the others. ''"Hmm, how big is Upnation? Or haven't you explored it all yet."

Captain: This is Midnation. We're 2 extra days away from Upnation.

Everyone begins to get off and get their belongs of the ships

Captain: We can take a quick break, then we can get started.

"Two more days... Fine." ''Daikeim goes off to wonder around Midnation. ''

Captain: Don't go to far.

Elaonore: Thank you very much, Captain.

Captain: Oh absolutely.

Elaonore: *follows Daikeim* They never mentioned a town being at a harbor. It's very pretty.

Many of the residents greet them as they walk by

"Yeah, it is pretty, isn't it... Honestly, I want this over and done with. I don't exactly like it here, and I still don't trust these people. But anyways..." ''Daikeim looks at the residents. ''"They do seem friendly, I guess I'm not used to kindness." He slightly chuckles to himself.

Elaonore: Certainly with all the hate that goes on around in the world...*looks to the ground*

''Daikeim smiles and holds her hand. ''"Hey, don't worry... I'm sure there are people out in Earth that sees that the Mythos' aren't a threat... It'll take time, sure, but still."

Elaonore: *smiles and holds his hand abit tighter*

"So then, what do you wanna do? There's a lot by the look of it, so it's your choice."

Elaonore: We could go to the nearest cafe and eat. I'm quite hungry again.

"Now that you mention it, yeah, I'm hungry too..." ''Daikeim takes a look around, trying to find a cafe. ''"You got the sweeter tooth, I'm sure you can find a cafe, right?"
