The mission of Choice

Captain Levi Alexander III is a rather peculiar man. An educated gentleman. A man of geology, biology, physics, and alchemy. Knighted by his King although he prefers the company of his crew. He is well traveled and continues his journey to the furthest reaches of Dena upon his ship, the Meadowlark.

Meadowlark - sails unfurled

The Meadowlark is a one of a kind ship. She runs upon three great wheels, two extend from the starboard side for stabilization (a kind of training wheel) and the third and largest wheel resides mostly in the hull. Only a small portion can be seen protruding from underneath.

Levi's crew, composed entirely of Animals using their Elemental abilities, make travel across the lands of Dena possible. Birds and mice of countless measure, cats, monkeys, dogs, lizards, snakes, chimps, gorillas, insects, and even two sloths. All of whom have their duties aboard this great vessel. Wind pushers fill her sails with the force needed to reach maximum knots. Earth movers work together to meld the land so the ship sails smoothly across otherwise treacherous forests, jungles, and harsh terrains. Trees quickly uproot and hop aside, boulders roll aside or sink into the soil, rock and dirt extend across crevasses providing a brief bridge, and all return to their original place as the Meadowlark glides past... Certainly such a grand ship could only be hosted by a deeply talented crew.

It is Levi's belief that Animals have a more natural connection to their Elements due to their previous state. Before he awoke them all from their Animalia form.

If I may explain...

Upon Dena, there are two forms of Animal families. Animals are intelligent, some more than others, or even more than you or I. They have emotions and feel the same happiness and sadness that we feel. They love their children and worry and hope they grow to be old, fat, and have many children and loved ones of their own. They can be cruel and deceitful to each other and to anyone they choose. They are as varied and complex as the atoms that compose the symphonic waves of life which mold the Universe.

The entire crew of the Meadowlark travel the world with one common interest: Choice.

You see, Dena is still very new to this idea. Animals have only begun their existence apart from what they were, the Animalia. Years ago, Levi (with the aid of his brother who still lives in their home town) discovered the key or... the Link. The Link is a symbol comprised of three rings and when this is pressed upon the head of an Animalia and the proper Alchemy is performed, the Link is connected, and it awakens Animalia into Animals. Levi travels the world, awakening all animals that he so gratefully meets. For it is his greatest joy in life to give the freedom of choice to all those who should be able to choose.

Levi has become notorious for "stealing" man's Animalia
