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.]

Oh! Um…

[Yukiko’s a little surprised by the offer, and the fact that she’d been overheard, but she won’t turn it down. Walking over, she takes a seat beside her new friend, Hestia waddling along beside her. The drinks will be happily accepted.]

Thank you, Naoto. We appreciate it. I didn’t really have much time to grab things, I was busier fussing over herbs to bring, and making sure Fuuka was ready too.

[Naoto nodded, fully getting Yukiko's words.]

That's an understandable, and one that many people in the city were likely dealing with. Even with Union's wide activities, there haven't been too many stories about encountering Gods like this.

Everyone seems to be on edge. That's why I made sure to bring extra tea, just to be safe.

Well, yeah. I mean, the last time I saw a god was...well, it was pretty terrifying.

[Pants wettingly horrific.]

But we still got away alright. Still. That was a great bit of foresight on your end. Though, I guess if you need an extra bedroll, I have that.

Working together is all we can do when faced with strange gods and difficult travel-- that's why we've all come as a group, isn't it?

[She was trying to stay positive, but there was no denying the gravity of the situation. Inexperienced as she was with this, she had no frame of reference for what to expect aside from newspaper reports.]

Indeed. That's sort of the point.

[Yukiko lets out a light laugh, muted and calm.]

You know? It's funny, because that's what the name Union really means. Working together, as a group. And in the face of strange gods, at that.
