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.]

[At some point during the evening's festivities, but before he's gone off to join the dancing himself, Lenna comes walking over.]

Is this seat taken?
niepokonany: (It's who I am. And it's my home.)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-01 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Something about him seems warmer and more relaxed than it has for a long, long time, as he smiles up at her.]

Nah, not right now. Come sit!
my_father_is_a_tycoon: (Wistful)

[personal profile] my_father_is_a_tycoon 2015-10-01 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[By now, she's spoken with Fai and heard the good news, so he receives a knowing smile in return as she sits down.]

It's good to see you smiling again.
niepokonany: (Everyone deserves the chance to fly)

[Feliks grins, fidgeting happily, sparkles coming off of him. He might have smiled now and then, the past year, but it's been a while since he shimmered so easily.]

You heard?

[personal profile] my_father_is_a_tycoon 2015-10-01 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Fai caught up with me a little earlier.

[She still feels a little embarrassed for not recognizing him right away, but she knew right away how thrilled Feliks would be.]

You must have been so relieved to hear that he was all right. I'm so happy for the both of you.

[And more than that, it gives her hope too.]
niepokonany: (Anyone loved can be lost)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-01 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you know. I told you I'd find him!

[He's pretty sure he shouted it at her, to be honest, though his memory of the time he had that fever is honestly a little wobbly.]
my_father_is_a_tycoon: (Laughing)

[personal profile] my_father_is_a_tycoon 2015-10-01 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[He did. Several times. She still feels bad about that encounter. But she really did admire how he kept trying, even if she didn't agree with the effect he was letting it have on his own health.]

I'm surprised he wanted to come on this expedition after having been away for so long... but I suppose I understand it if you were going to be here too. I imagine the two of you haven't left each others' sight since the happy reunion.
niepokonany: (And if I'm flying solo)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-01 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
He was actually the one who wanted to come! I mean...

[He lowers his voice, because Fai is still nearby somewhere.]

...Yuui's still out there somewhere. So we didn't wanna miss out on going somewhere we haven't checked out before.
my_father_is_a_tycoon: (Elegant)

[personal profile] my_father_is_a_tycoon 2015-10-01 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...I understand.

[Lenna nods slowly, her expression becoming slightly more serious.]

That's actually why I'm here too. When Father left... all he said was that there was a crisis in the east.
niepokonany: (I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-01 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you get a chance to talk to anyone from Glacier yet? I wonder if it's been going on that long...
my_father_is_a_tycoon: (Afraid)

[personal profile] my_father_is_a_tycoon 2015-10-03 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Not yet. I don't want to trouble them with this while they're fighting for their own lives. I'll look for myself, and ask them once the safety of their home is assured.
niepokonany: (How did it end up like this?)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-04 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, first things first, I guess...
my_father_is_a_tycoon: (Wistful)

[personal profile] my_father_is_a_tycoon 2015-10-05 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
But I know he's out there somewhere. And if it's here, I'll find him.
niepokonany: (Close my eyes and leap)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-05 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I know you're gonna.

[He'll believe for her, too, now.]
