Aledersaem - Plains

[Zet]

The large plains for the island of Aledersaem. While they usually are traveled to get to certain places, the size of the plains can't quite compare to a certain land with them. Traveling from here, one can reach three locations if they know the directions to go. One being a town, one being a castle, and another being a rather bumpy mountain road.

[Rain]

Rain continued riding, picking up speed as he continued too. The fog would hit soon and it would hit hard, and it wouldn't be advisable to try and keep going through the place. Now then, if they could make it to the town before the fog hit, they would be able to cut the whole risk out of it entirely. They would get to see people and then in the end, manage to see what was up while taking a break. If the town was attacked during the fog too though...

"I'm over-thinking things of course though."

[Elaine]

"Thinking too much is fine sometimes, but don't overdo it."

'She had been flying low and close enough to catch his words, a smile on her face as she kept pace. She figured he would pick up speed as he continued after all since he was rushing ahead. They could figure out who those people who attacked the boat was while they were at it too. Rain was likely trying to beat the fog and figure out his own worries in one fell swoop, two birds with a single stone. It was good to go for something like that too she supposed. Still....something was off here. Were the people hiding out or something? These plains were vast, but she could make out mountains too that were standing out rather predominantly. There was probably a place to rest at to add to Rain's rushed pursuit of things.'

"Guess I'll just see things for myself then..."

[Thor]

The plains were vast, and the mountain could be seen too. The place was calm and not tumult as one would expect from their greeting after all. Still though was the fog to come, and Rain's rushed pursuit of his objective could possibly jeopardize things. Railone didn't take this into account while she kept flight, Thor keeping a rather safe and stern hold around her so as to not fall while planning to remain more vigilant. Charlene was relaxed about things too, so far so good after all. These plains felt different though, as though something used to be here more than just the grass and life that filled the land. He supposed there wasn't anything to do there but keep the thoughts to himself after all.

"I wonder what Rain is so concerned for though? A hunch, perhaps?"

He never did question it and proceeded to follow instead this whole time. He still didn't, and more wondered so he could see if he couldn't help lower the load on his friend and employer's shoulders by placing it on his own. They had more helping hands, skilled hands, and trustworthy hands to aid in that after all also.

[Phantom]

They continued onward, and the fog started to roll in. It hadn't clouded their vision just yet as it continued to spread across the plains and everything else across the nation. A thick fog that was slowly encompassing the whole of the island in a cloud of delusional and mistrust. It felt like it was strangling and stifling, as though it would cause rifts and splits among those there. Though it might have all been a figment of the imagination, a brief moment where one's mind wandered off for a time. They continued to make progress to Rain's planned stop.

[Rain]

"I know. You don't have to tell me that."

He kept on going, but it looked like things were going to be a bit annoying soon. The fog had rolled in before they could arrive and it looked like it was fanning out across the course of his entire home. To go along with this, it looked like things had more or less not reached their full height yet. That was disturbing of course given he for one didn't want to be caught in it. He had nothing to fear except for his own doubts in his mind. They would need to enter the formation he described soon, which meant that Ray and Char would need to come closer than they were since they were spread out more so. Hopefully they weren't far now, he couldn't tell thanks to his obscured vision.

"Blast."

[Elaine]

"If you say so...."

'He seemed more than uptight about the present situation. However, it looked like the fog had just rolled on in too. Guess it was about time to stop going about things however they wanted, moving in closer and keeping her eye out for things with an increased vigilance. She would watch out for Rain too just in case his rushed nature got him into a bind as they proceeded. He had a destination in mind at least, and once they settled down they could get a bit more of talking in while they waited out the fog.'

[Thor]

"Keep your wits about you."

This fog was ominous and that was putting it lightly. It looked like it was over the whole island at the time too. While that itself wasn't too abnormal the fact that it came out of nowhere and wasn't at its full thickness yet was a tad disturbing. He noticed Railone nod as she pulled up and closed the formation as they continued. Thor kept his eyes on their back now and let Railone focus on the front. That way they wouldn't be ambushed while the others continued to proceed forward. All in all however, it looked like they had themselves a rather odd predicament. It was precarious enough to warrant this much caution at the least.

"We can hope for the best of it. That's all honestly."

Thor agreed with her so all it came down to was getting to wherever Rain wanted to without any situations. Then again, that would be conspicuous in and of itself after what had gone down on their boat ride here after all.

[Phantom]

They managed to continue to proceed through the fog. Continuing their advance, they heard a cry out further ahead at the town just ahead, Rain's destination. There was a bit of smoke at first too but that faded out not too long afterward as though someone had put out the fire. The fog was gradually getting thicker to go along with it as they made their progress ever swifter and steady. They couldn't shake the feeling that something was off though, but it might have just been because of the maddening fog that obscured their sight for the most part and no torches to help light their way. It would make them an easier target to spot out in the midst of it all too as the secondary edge to it.

[Rain]

Rain continued his stride with his partner, until at long last he noticed the smoke that ended momentarily afterward. If it was a fire that had engulfed the town then it would have kept smoking unless the fire had just then ended. That was unlikely however and as such he continued onward without a singular hitch, knowing full well that they had to proceed regardless at this point.

"Latvia...."

Latvia was the name of where they were headed to at the present time after all. Of course, only he would know that. He had a feeling that they would catch the word but not know exactly what it meant. He once more picked up the pace, mentally noting that he should give his partner a break once they were done. He had been pushing him pretty hard since they arrived after all.

[Elaine]

'And there he was again, heading off quicker than normal. Then again she supposed that if there was a fire happening then it wouldn't hurt to go and figure out what was going on. Though they would have to improvise a lot to figure out the source of the fire honestly. She started to pick up speed too, knowing they had to keep pace with Rain to make sure he wasn't overly alarmed when something went wrong suddenly. Which could happen too.'

"Latvia?"

'It was a different sort of name. But he kept on going and so she would ask him later. After all he was the one with all the knowledge here actually. He was also the first one to rush in too, which probably was why asking him didn't get to happen overly often.'

[Thor]

"Hm?"

She could see it from where she was, so Thor responded with a questioning gaze that couldn't be entirely seen even were the rider to be looking at him. He looked past her as he leaned over some, almost losing his grip much to Railone's own dismay as she had to steady herself to make sure she didn't go tumbling down with him. He could see the smoke then and knew they were telltale signs that something had been set ablaze.

"Railone, if you would."

She knew what that meant, heading after the others and catching back up. The formation or the plan didn't matter just yet what with the town right in front of them being on fire possibly. Though with the smoke fading, they could assume the best and that it had stopped recently.
