something wild
Characters: Trahearne, Valdis, Bastien, Jacen, The Fool
Date: November 12th
Location: Near the midpoint of the archipelago
Situation: Trahearne has brought their small group together to investigate strange rumors that may be related to one of the Fool's prophecies.
Warnings/Rating: None yet
Trahearne has their trip outside of the city planned and ready, passage already bought for the group on a railway line to one of the small towns further inland. From there, they're met with a kirin-drawn coach that's driven by a friendly muin named Aatha. The coach is a simple one, but it's well-made and comfortable enough otherwise, the kirin managing the terrain well as the hour-long ride brings them to the base of one of the mountains in the range that splits the archipelago in half.
Though the kirin keep the ride relatively smooth, the closer they come to the mouth of the nearby valley, the more Aatha has to work to keep them moving at a steady speed. When they do stop, the two kirin seem to want to keep moving, and Aatha has her hands full with soothing them. "I'm sorry," she tells the group as they disembark, "These two are usually much more docile."
"That's all the better reason not to wait for us here," Trahearne tells her, starting to look worried. "I can contact you when we're ready to be picked up."
The valley ahead of them is lush, and looked pristine from a distance... but now that they're on the thin path leading down into it, it's easy to see that the foliage around them hasn't fared well. Bushes have been trampled, and soil left softened from the recent rains show at least a half dozen animal tracks, if not more.
