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.]

[Fai hasn't exactly wanted to go away so soon after returning either. He'd felt bad for the sake of his parents, who'd had to cope with the loss of their children for so long, gotten one son back alive, only to have him rush off again. But he had made a promise to himself when he decided to end his exile: He wasn't giving up. Any opportunity he got to look for Yuui where he hadn't been before, he was going to take it. That was it, no excuses. Of course he wanted to help as well, but Yuui would always remain his main motivation until the day he was found.

Now... Well, his parents will have to wait, but he thinks they understand. And after all, Fai has Feliks with him now. Whatever they might have thought of him before, there is something about a boy who never gives up on their lost son to parents-in-law. Feliks had given them hope, so how could they possibly object to him?

He tries to give Yuuna a reassuring smile.]


Well, I think maybe not actively looking for battle might be a good tactic for me right now, right? I'll try to let the rest of you handle the more overt dangers until I can stop looking like an underfed Leavanny. [Fai is admittedly terrible at not getting himself into danger, but he will try. For their sakes.]

[Yuuna returned that smile with one of her own, bright and sunny despite the situation.]

You look like you could at least handle a few Skitty, Fai. I mean, I'd rather you were back home in bed but I can't really mandate anything you wouldn't sneak out of so yeah. I'm just going to keep an eye on you. If something goes wrong? We'll get you out. I can't guarantee a fight won't happen, because I'm fully expecting one and I came armed for Ursaring but we might be ticking off an actual god.

[And she's not sure if he really understand the context of that. She met him after Heatran, but...did he actually engage the thing?]

This...hell. The last few I ran into sure didn't give me the option. [Still smiling, but it's grimmer somehow.] I just hope whatever it is isn't like Yveltal.
