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.]

But there's a lot to catch up on...

[And he didn't want to get in anyone's way-- but he followed Right's instructions carefully, and assessed every step with an attentive, studious eye.]

That's why you read by the firelight - or lamplight, if you got a lamp.

[Even with it being an information instruction session, it doesn't take that long for Right to help get the tent set up properly. It's even sturdy!]

There we go! Now, you can sleep without getting snowed or rained on.
untalented: (taken aback)

Who needs a lamp when I have Flash?

[It was a silly little spell that was worthless for attack or defense, but it was quite helpful in shedding light on a situation. ba-dum-tsh

Waver took a step back and stared at the completed structure, a look of admiration and even disbelief in his eyes.]


It's impressive, how something so simple can be so hard to erect...
lunchleader: (hey Tokacchi...)

It's not that difficult. I mean, I'm no genius, but I've been doing stuff like this since I was 8. My Grandpa taught me everything I know about camping and foraging and such.
untalented: (chinscratch)

[personal profile] untalented 2015-10-18 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds like incredibly useful information, if you're going to be doing much travelling. Was your grandfather a trainer and explorer as well?
lunchleader: (c'mon get happy~)

Sorry for missing this for so long

[personal profile] lunchleader 2015-10-28 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! He's even what I'd call a 'Master Trainer', since he's got a knack for training folks.
untalented: (embarrassed)

S'okay. October was rough.

[personal profile] untalented 2015-10-28 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds like it must have been interesting to grow up around. No wonder you get out so much.
lunchleader: (childhood memories)

[personal profile] lunchleader 2015-10-29 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
It's pretty fun, actually. And it wasn't just me that he would take along. Sometimes, my little siblings or my friends would come with us - usually my friends, since my sibling were really little half the time. We'd go camp at this glade and that old log in the forest, roasting sausages on sticks while we trade stories over the campfire...
untalented: (has no words for once)

[personal profile] untalented 2015-10-29 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm....honestly, it sounds sort of idyllic. Like something out of the setting for a folk tale.
lunchleader: (c'mon get happy~)

[personal profile] lunchleader 2015-10-30 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes, yeah.

[Right shrugs a little with a big grin.]

Other times, it's different. Like if it's raining. Or like we come across a nest of Beedrills.
untalented: (snerky)

[personal profile] untalented 2015-10-31 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Rain and Beedrills are hardly equal threats, you realize.

[There was no way they could even be compared with eachother!!]
