Event - The White Dragon Travel Log

[It's a lengthy journey even by air, that our intrepid heroes find themselves on. The veteran fliers set a quick, but not grueling pace at the suggestion of the Valkyries. Arriving to a battleground when a god had taken the field tired was not wise, they'd said, and who could really blame them? The prospect alone of facing down one of the beasts of legend would be enough to send most men fleeing in the opposite direction, but one who was working with a human? That was all the more reason to make sure that proper care was taken on the trek. And so for a day the party traveled, a caravan of birds, dragons, reptiles and the odd flying robot making steady time across the Rolling Plains before setting down at the north-eastern edge.

The curious would find that not far from where the tents were pitched, the green hills turned jagged, the land going from verdant to a sea of dark glass. Obsidian shards spiked upwards, spires gleaming in the moonlight like razor sharp teeth, setting an ominous tone for the evening's respite. Tents were pitched, fires were lit, and the more warlike companions even began a drum circle and dance. Valkyries and shirtless Calderan volunteers, a small number of visiting mages, and other more mysterious folks all curious to see the god and to help with the relief efforts. The camp, despite the circumstances, was at least a lively one.

And then came the final day.

Over the Obsidian Flats they went, the massive shapes of Boldore and Tyranitar visible even from up in the sky. And...further perhaps even more stunningly, a gigantic lake almost large enough to call an inland sea, sprawled out below. Rivers snaked out of it all around, and the water itself was a pure crystal blue. But perhaps the most awe inspiring sight of the whole journey came once they cleared the Flats and the area around Glacier came into view. An expanse of white, thick snow covering the ground this early in the year. Arctic forests cropped up here and there, snowcapped trees and a frigid looking river marring the perfect canvas beneath. And more Pokemon , of course. Gigantic Avalugg shook the ground below, and a new species plodded along, chewing amiably on the trees, largely unconcerned by the humans overhead, and the occurrences in the distance.

Along the coast a city was in flames, people streaming out of its ruined gates, desperately fleeing along the rivers before whatever it was came back. Smoke curled up along the skyline, burned hamlets and outlying settlements that'd already been destroyed.

It seems like they weren't too late, and it in the moment of respite there was a chance for our heroes to at least get their bearings and prepare for the Dragon God's return...]

[OOC: We will be opening some of these areas for bonding within the next few days for everyone who is taking part in the expedition.]

Well someone is taking advantage of that wave of heat radiating off of her - not surprising given the teenager's dragon-typing, and frequent complaints during Union's much milder winter.

While he's shivering with his tail curled around himself, the growlithe Furfur was barking quite happily, bouncing from the snow to the snow-less ground as if it was a great game to gather as much of the white stuff on him as possible, let it melt, then shake it off on someone.

She looked at Sinbad with concern. She was cold, yes, but bearably so.

"Are you alright, Sin?"
conquerorofwaves: (So dignified)

"Ye-...Actually, it's just cold." His shoulders slumped slightly, as he pulls up the hood of the wool-lined coat he was wearing - kind of tricky to find clothes to fit his particular traits that also worked for cold weather-wear. "I need to get myself used to it."

He threw his arms up as Furfur shakes. "Hey come on! Don't do that!"

flying_chains: (Don't patronize me)

"Probably. I am just glad it is warmer in Union."

What landed on Morgiana quickly melted into water, leaving her merely damp. She looked up at Sinbad's pokemon with mild annoyance.
conquerorofwaves: (dude - what)

Furfur barks three times before leaping up into Sinbad's arms, curling himself against the young man's chest, giving the two humans the most innocent looking look of guilt possible.

"That won't work, furball." He murmurs low before turning his attention to Morgiana. "Have to say Union is almost tropical compare to this land... but I guess we really shouldn't be expecting anything else from 'Glacier'."
flying_chains: (Hold my flower)

"No." She agreed. "That is why I dressed warm."

She rubbed her arms and shivered. "But not warm enough."
