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... time can only tell for that much, for myself. You sound like you've seen a lot.
niepokonany: (I love her! She's like a Martian!)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-01 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
I guess, but none of it's been a match for me yet!
wise_maiden: (should we try and stay)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-10-01 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't seem like it has. You seem to be in good spirits, despite what we may be facing... are you worried at all?
niepokonany: (She IS a mite unpredictable.)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-01 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
If it's really Dragon-type, it's probably less dangerous to me than most of the other gods we've met!
wise_maiden: (the feeling of what i'm leaving)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-10-02 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[... She really can't get over that he's speaking like that so casually.]

Typing aside, it's still a dragon god that's ravaging an area that's covered in ice and snow. It could have other defenses. I hope we can get more information before we find ourselves in the middle of things.
niepokonany: (But it's just the price I pay)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-02 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if it's Ice-type, I totally have that covered, too.

[He lights a little fire in his hand and winks up at her.]
wise_maiden: (waiting to change)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-10-02 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head with a slight smile.] Haha. You just have an answer for everything, don't you?
niepokonany: (do something right)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-02 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty much!

[It's not always a good answer, or even a halfway thought out one, but he does tend to come up with something for any situation.]
wise_maiden: (by the lives that i have loved)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-10-02 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair enough.

[Bear with her, she's not quite used to Union personalities just yet. Although considering that she was the one who approached him in the first place, it was probably on her to offer an introduction.] Ah, my name is Raine Sage, by the way.
niepokonany: (Tiny miniskirts!)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-02 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Even for a Unionite, Feliks has no shortage of sheer force of personality. He'll drive people a little crazy if they let him.]

Feliks Łukasiewicz! Nice to meet you, Raine.
wise_maiden: (thankful for small favors)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-10-03 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you as well, Feliks. I'd like to hear about some of your adventures sometime... though perhaps it'll be better to wait until after everything here is settled.
niepokonany: (We were all like ohmigod like totally)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-04 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Ok, you can take a rain check on hearing all about my totally sweet adventures until this whole dragon thing is dealt with!
wise_maiden: (waiting to change)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-10-07 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe the experience here will give you a new perceptive on what's already happened as well. Provided that we get out of it all right...
niepokonany: (I love her! She's like a Martian!)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-08 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Sure, whatever!

[Thinking and perspective aren't really things he spends a lot of time or energy on.]
wise_maiden: (looking for the truth behind those eyes)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-10-08 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
... I really hope you are taking this seriously. [It's not meant as anything against him, just a general bewilderment at some of the personality types she's seen out here.]
niepokonany: (Another sign of tragic space dementia)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-08 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Life is serious enough without me being serious about it.
wise_maiden: [ pureoptimism @ lj ] (you're up all night thinking it's over)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2015-10-09 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That's... a very good point.

[When you're trying to gauge a person by first impressions? New personality types can throw anyone off balance.] I'll take your word for it.
niepokonany: (Anyone perfect must by lying)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-18 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
I know, right?

[He's a little biased towards his own opinions, but that sounds like a sensible one to him!]

Anyway, we're gonna get through this one, too. We have so far!
