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.]

I actually think it's kinda cute? That she loves me so much, I mean.
bearlydressed: (Teddie is not amused)

[personal profile] bearlydressed 2015-10-04 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Cute huh. [Teddie places a paw to his chin and thinks this over a moment, getting an idea. Yes, he too will try this!]

Hmm, I think I get it now! [He holds a closed paw over his heart and begins to speak in the most dramatic way possible.] A heart filled with jealousy over those that would dare attempt to take the undying love of someone dearest to them! A battle beartween rivals! A race to confess their unbridled love before their youth slips away from them! Will the path ahead be full of heartbreak? Or will it have unexpected friendships? [Don't mind him...]
niepokonany: (THIS IS STUPID)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-05 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, I don't think it's anything that dramatic? She does think she's my daughter.
bearlydressed: (paws up)

[personal profile] bearlydressed 2015-10-08 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
That only adds to it! [He nods.] A daughter's love must be stronger than any grizzly that comes across to her mother. She must climb the mountain of challenges! Then, and only then will victory be within her paw!

[A beat.] Er, mouth? [Right, a Dragonair doesn't exactly have hands.]
niepokonany: (How did it end up like this?)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-08 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
...Tail, usually, I guess? I mean, she'll get hands if she ever decides it's time to evolve.

[She's high-enough level, but just doesn't seem to feel like it.]
bearlydressed: (staaaaaaaaaaare)

[personal profile] bearlydressed 2015-10-08 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Teddie doesn't judge the decision not to evolve just yet. It was neat and all, but changing into an entirely different species was also a little scary.]

Really? What will she bearvolve into?
niepokonany: ('Cause I'm Mr. Brightside)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-08 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
A Dragonite! Like...

[He looks around at the other Pokemon flying nearby, and points one out.]

There we go, like that one over there!
bearlydressed: (Oh right!)

[personal profile] bearlydressed 2015-10-08 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[His gaze follows where Felix points to. He glances a few times between the Dragonair and the Dragonite. Yup, that's definitely an evolution.

He remains silent as he compares the two, though he eventually speaks up.]
I think I understand why she might not want to evolve just yet.
niepokonany: (Open up my eager eyes)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-08 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Oh... Yeah, I guess so.

I mean, the first evolution was easy for her! She basically just got bigger and her little ear-wing-things got kinda wingier-looking, and she got her horn, but everything else was basically the same. The second one... yeah, it's kind of a bigger jump.

[Especially for someone who still wants to be mama's little Dratini a lot of the time.]
bearlydressed: (staaaaaaaaaaare)

[personal profile] bearlydressed 2015-10-11 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[It definitely was a bigger jump, but back this train up a little.] Wait, she's already evolved bearfor? I wasn't aware that she could evolve twice.
niepokonany: (She's a young girl talking about herself)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-18 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? There's a ton of species that evolve twice...
