Najaran nodded, still thinking. "It isn't quite so clean as that though..." she considered then stood up and used the base of the staff to draw in the sand. She made a big circle first, then started dividing it up into edges. First she cut a small wedge that was less than a quarter. "If this is all the people on this world," she gestured with the staff, who looked a little dizzy, to the whole of the diagram "Are here. Then this," she stabbed the small section, "would be all the Cepters. Apparently loads of people hate us because some Cepters like Zenith go crazy and don't really care about if anyone gets hurt or anything gets broken when they're looking for new Cards, or if they're just big bullies." again, see Zenith.
"So to a lot of these people," she gestured to the larger part. "All Cepters are bad guys, even though we really aren't. I mean there are some towns that like us alright, like Soron. It was a desert that used to be a seaside community. Without fishing and stuff they started running a Cepter tournament and people came from all over to bet on who was going to die and who was going to win." She licked her lips. "There was a really good inn there with some super yummy food!" Because that is the important part. Riiiiight.
"But then there was this other town, near the Bisteam gates. There they arrested me, just for being a Cepter and took all my cards. Alta broke me out of jail because she wanted me on a treasure hunt. But she didn't trust me for a long time and kept my cards." she looked back at her friends, most of whom were ambling their way over, done drinking. "She did appologize though, and because of her I got to meet Kigi and help save the forest." She gave a bright smile. "And Joaquin learned there was life outside his books when he made friends with some Treefolk. And Ganz stopped drinking! So it is all right now!" Bright cheerful smile.
"You guys done?" she asked the cards. The creatures nodded. "Do you want to go back or stay out here?"
The knight... spoke. "If. We. Stay. Might. Have. To. Peel. Po.Ta.Toes."
Najaran gave a bit of an embarrassed laugh and swiped the empty cards through the air. Every creature other than herself, Gooligan, and Roy vanished into the cards. She had the grace to look sheepish. "No point in being a Cepter if you can't get help with your chores every now and then, right?"
"THAT IS NOT WHAT THE BOOK OF CREATION IS FOR, NAJARAN!"
Now that I have a journal for him, want pi face tossed at this starter?
