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.]

Only once. It was on better terms.

[Gordon looks up, considering the sky himself.]

At least less hostile ones. Diancie. Confronted us with our greatest fears and failings to test us. I guess I must have passed.

[He sighs heavily.]

I'm just hoping we can figure out what's going on here before anyone else gets hurt. I've never even heard of one of the Gods turning up with a human master.

Diancie was nice enough. So was Articuno.

[She sighs...looking around.]

Mewtwo was a bit more...uh...scary. Even if I was on his side at the time.

But yeah, no. The whole idea of a god and a man working together? That's freaky.
commissionergrump: (Curious)

For something like this? Definitely.

[Gordon glances towards their destination.]

I wish we knew more. I'm an analyst, and used to be a detective. I don't like the idea of going into anything half-blind. I mean, they've told us all they can, just wish it was more.

[He takes a breath, then looks to the young woman.]

Leave the worrying to the grumpy old men, you should be enjoying yourself.
sparkofgenius: (Could be Better)

[personal profile] sparkofgenius 2015-10-01 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Worrying?

[Lucca snorts.]

You think that enjoying myself is going to make this any less worrying. No offense, sir, but you do realize that I'm going to worry no matter what. Because if I wasn't worried? Then I'd be stupid.

[She adjusts her glasses and looks out over the Obsidian Flats.]

These things flattened the world once. And now we have to fight them. I wish more people were worried, because this is becoming a pattern.

[Jim sighs heavily.]

Maybe it's more you shouldn't have to.

[He leans back, looking up into the night sky.]

They're not all hostile, honestly, I think I'd file most under 'friendly.' Not by a large margin, mind, but... I don't know.
sparkofgenius: (Not Happy)

[personal profile] sparkofgenius 2015-10-02 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Really now?

[Lucca's attention focuses on the old man, and she quirks a brow.]

Friendly? I don't know if I'd go that far. But I'd say that most of them don't want to destroy us, at any rate.
commissionergrump: (Curious)

[Gordon nods and shrugs in a complicated sort of expression.]

Alright, maybe not 'friendly.' But definitely non-hostile. Wish I knew more about what motivates them. I don't do well with unsolved puzzles.

[He glances back to the group near the fire, then to Lucca, taking another sip of his drink.]

Go, enjoy your party, I should go put my team through their paces.
