IC: Skyra Daring - Streets of Atero  -

Skyra inspected her vehicle as Del said his goodbyes to the guards. They seemed to be having a moment so Skyra took her time, checking the fuel, engine, tires, and all that stuff as the engine purred. Everything seemed to be good to go so Skyra hoped into the driver's seat, putting a pair of shades on as she felt how cool she looked in her car. 

Yeah.

"Are you prepared to die?"

IC: Gayle - Vulcanus Arena

"I don't have a deathwish, if that's what you're asking," she replied warily, "I'm not ready to go. But it's an occupational hazard I accepted a long time ago."

She glanced at the other Glatorian, trying to gauge from their reactions if they'd been so bluntly asked the same vaguely-threatening question, "Besides, if I don't make it, I don't have any family for your village to compensate."

IC: Tueris (Staff NPC; The Long Road to Ferrum)

As Tueris rose to his feet, both his eyes were open at last: one glowed a fiery orange, but the other – the scarred one – was dull, clearly blind and with no prosthetic in its place.

"If you're coming – and I say this to all of you – then you should not expect to return. That is the nature of our task, and if that makes you uncomfortable, then you may leave now. You will not be judged."

IC: Escus - Arena Vulcanus

Escus gave a light chuckle at the Agori's response, which grew into a deeper laugh as the fire Glatorian said his piece. Taking hold of his axe, he rose to his feet alongside him.

"Aye, I believe you. I believe that all that's true. But the Agori has the right of it. It's an occupational hazard, a risk we accept if the reward is right. And me, well, I believe in the rewards."

Even as he said that, his expression didn't follow his words. His brow was furrowed, and his gaze had the dull quality of someone who was focusing more on what they could imagine than what they could see.

IC: Selamat - Arena Vulcanus

Selamat was just finishing his breakfast as the others began to stand. He hoped that they had not been waiting for him. He was perfectly able to eat on the move, and had done so numerous times prior.

He rose from his cross-legged sit as if unfolding, feet sliding beneath him and pushing him to a standing position without the aid of his arms, which were occupied by placing his emptied lunch bag into a satchel that was then pushed around to hang at his hip, opposite his sword on the other.

He was ready to depart. With an Agori in tow, it seemed? He fancied that it may, indeed, be possible for her to hold her own out on the sand, and he hoped that this was the case, as they would bring dishonor upon themselves if she perished in their company. If the rest of them survived, that is.

"Obviously, it would be in our best interests to make sure at least some of them get to where they're going and make it back alive," Somok said, "But don't put your own lives at risk unnecessarily. Just make sure they understand we had nothing to do with whatever happened to Ferrum."

IC: Luka — Humble Abode in Outer Tajun

The air sang as Luka’s titanic blade shot left-to-right, and up-to-down. He was almost through with his drills, and he made an effort to finish off strong. He pictured an opponent at the arena: one who was older and smug, dodging attacks and patiently waiting for an opening that Luka planned to never give. It was a less common tactic to use his sword to overwhelm the rival Glatorian with a flurry of attacks. Usually, an experience warrior waited for the inevitable sloppiness. But in this imaginary sparring session, Luka had already drawn any many foolish attacks. He had used defensive to disarm and disorient multiple times. It was never a bad idea to practice a good finishing flurry.

Afterward, Luka used the last of his strength to plunge the great sword into the sandy ground, a ritualistic sign that his training was complete for the day. This would be Luka’s first tournament, and he tried to block out any apprehension with methodical drills. He would need the muscle memory.

— Streets of Tajun —

After resting and recovering, Luka hiked his way made his into the town square, sword strapped to his back. He had expected things to be more lively than normal because of the tournament, but Luka had still taken aback by all the unfamiliar faces. Not wanting to just stand and stare, Luka began to stroll down the streets, people-watching as he did so.

IC: Karak - Ready to roll 

Skyra went to her steed - and I to mine. I make fast strides. Skyra's use as convoy is necessary - yet I am still weary of the mystery man. The Agori language…like a labyrinth. Otherwise, he might be clearer still. It's no matter. Tajun waits.

Little time has passed as I seat myself on Huracan's saddle. There's a guilty fondness I have of the machine. One of the few joys of the desert.

The beast awakens. I guide it onward - it comes to a stop outside the Inn. My mask is donned. I signal Skyra with a nod.

IC: Avinus – Tajun Streets

The arrival of another native Glatorian in the town square didn’t escape the notice of Avinus, who was in the midst of inquiring with some newly-arrived Ice Agori about one of her preferred traders from Iconox. He hadn’t shown up in town yet, and the group she was speaking with appeared to be pretending very hard not to know who she was asking about so they could push their own wares on her.

“Thanks for your time,” she said, stepping away, “Gotta go.”

She vaguely recognised the other Glatorian. Luke… Lucky? Somethin’ like that. The burly blade on his back was a memorable weapon, slightly more so than the Glatorian himself since he’d only been training for a few months. (At least as far as Avinus could recall. She admittedly didn't pay that much attention to Glatorian of her own village most of the time, since they weren't the ones she usually spent time fighting). Still, his shiny armour and inquisitive interest in the crowds seemed to indicate that he was still fairly new to all of this.

“Quite the spectacle, innit?” Avinus said, falling into step beside the younger Glatorian, “All this for five minutes of fightin'."

IC: Jeizmel, Streets of Atero

Okay, she could have phrased that better, Jeizmel would admit. She had, at least in her own mind, meant to imply that she could take any role that Glatorian Vraek needed her to, rather than just being dead weight to be dragged around; but in hindsight it did sound like she was offering to fulfil a role that was more stupidly formal than a professional warrior would have need of. Still, she simply shrugged a little, not offended by the other's amusement - the only thing that would have offended her was if the Glatorian had treated her like a child; something that, she was grateful to note, wasn't the case.

"Oh, that sounds fine. Yes, I won't make it a big deal."

She would have said more - if not for the unexpected interruption. Jeizmel tilted her head a little at the other Ice Tribeswoman's approach, pondering for a moment if she recognised this newcomer... she didn't think so, but it was hard to tell behind the mask.

And what a mask! The artistry that must have gone into crafting that crystalline design; it wasn't a skill that Jeizmel thought of herself as having, but ever since her childhood ice cavern experience, she had developed an appreciation for the beautiful clarity of ice crystal, and crystal in general. Surely, then, this was someone else who valued the purity of ice, just as she did?

The newcomer was addressing Vraek, however, rather than herself; so for the moment Jeizmel opted to keep politely silent.

--At least, until such a moment may occur when she felt like she had something that needed to be said.

IC/ Skrall/ Roxtus/ Stables/

Skrall only acknowledged the little speech with the barest of glances. Her attention was firmly on securing their cargo still. She tied his wrists firmly behind his back, cut the rope and then did the same to his ankles, with slack enough to walk almost as normal - but not enough to run. If you couldn’t run in the wastes, you’d be dead. 

Once the restraints were in place, she first removed her grappling line, then pulled him up by the shoulders from down prone, to kneeling. She indicated the wagons. 

“Get up. Get in.”

IC: Skrall [Roxtus, Stables]

Skrall didn't win battles by not fighting them, and he didn't lose campaigns by the result of a single skirmish. He resigned himself to another day, with his last act of defiance being spitting on the ground as he was lifted to his knees.

Straining against the shackles, Skrall lifted himself into the cart. It was a nontrivial task, given he had been deprived of his full free range of motion. The sooner they got underway, the sooner opportunities would present themselves, and he could begin the next phase.

IC/ Skrall/ Roxtus/ Stables/

She made sure their cargo was sitting properly and to make sure there weren’t any more surprises in store. As she did, their eyes briefly met. Nothing but resolve in her eyes. She held his gaze unblinking until she was sure he’d realized that.

Then she moved forward to take up the Spikit’s reins. Once the last few supplies were stored and everyone was mounted up, their little caravan pulled out of the stables and onto the road out of Roxtus.

IC: Lutenus (Streets of Atero) - No Train, No Game

“I do believe they have some small training areas available for rental. There’s one… this way.” Lutenus drew Lorqua to the training grounds owned by Mard and Ahmoa, not knowing that these were the same Agori that were with the enigmatic Iron Glatorian from earlier.

IC: Lorqua - Streets of Atero, Training Grounds

Lorqua peered into the training grounds. Little more than a round dusty field, a small bunkhouse, and a couple of worn wooden training dummies. A sign reading 'BACK IN AN HOUR' hung above the gate. Lorqua shrugged, walked in, and started pacing the edge of the training field. She dropped her travelling bag next to the gate, but took her shield and spear with her. She stretched, raising both arms above her head.

"Might as well just go in, it seems to me. Can't imagine they'd mind."

She looked to Lutenus, one brow raised.

"Glad to see you'll actually fight, for a moment there I thought you were just going around, getting other people to go into the arena, not planning on doing anything yourself."

IC, Aurax: Arena Vulcanus

The Iron Tribe Glatorian said nothing as the others talked, only briefly glancing at each of them. He didn't attempt to defend the Agori from the Fire Glatorian's apprehensions, nor did attempt to encourage or discourage any of the other volunteers. People were typically not quick to change their minds, in his experience. 

Aurax allowed his continued presence to speak volumes about his participation.

IC: Del - Red Star Inn, Atero

The time had come to part. With Skyra and Karak making preparations, the two Agori forced themselves to let go of their charge, their dear friend. A painful silence filled the air.

All a sudden, Mard grabbed Del's wrist and thrust his flask, full of precious water, into their hand. "Take this," he urged, avoiding eye contact lest he start crying again, "and remember to stay hydrated out there, like we taught you yeah?"

"And well-fed," Ahmoa added with a smile, looking into his satchel and weighing how many ration packs to give the Glatorian before shrugging and handing them the whole thing. "All set. Food, drink and good company," the Agori opined, looking over to their convoy.

"To be savoured, enjoyed," Del confirmed.

The two Agori smiled proudly, in exactly the way parents do.

Ahmoa glanced momentarily down at his own shadow, then at his partner. "We ought to be getting back," he stated firmly, slipping into his guardsman persona but not as seamlessly as he'd hoped.

Mard did his best to adopt the same brave face, looking up at Del and smiling with quivering lips. "Don't be a stranger, okay bud? You know right where to find us."

Del nodded; the training grounds, the Red Star Inn, the streets of Atero, all perfectly recorded.

The Agori didn't say goodbye as they departed. Ahmoa, warm as a flickering forge, gave a smile and a short wave. Mard, inviting as a lush oasis, beamed as he gave an informal salute.

On some low level, Del began to process the significance of a goodbye, and the absence of one now. They returned first the wave, then the salute, and always the smile.

Around the corner, and they were gone.

With club-and-buckler across their back, Mard's flask resting on their breast and Ahmoa's satchel slung at their side, Del approached Skyra's buggy and slid into the passenger seat. Awkwardly, the Iron Tribal leaned across to the driver's side and attempted to drape their arms around their escort. "For Skyra Daring, Del I don't want to fight."

 

IC: Mard & Ahmoa - Training Ground, outskirts of Atero

"Brave face, brave face, brave face..." Mard chanted as the duo approached the grounds, utterly failing to keep a brave face.

Ahmoa, usually a master of compartmentalisation, had a few cracks showing himself. "If there's anyone waiting at the grounds and you're a blubbering wreck, you'll look all the more fool for it," he said, speaking to his partner but directing the words at himself.

Then the pair saw something that snapped them both fully to attention and brought them to a halt; a pack sitting outside the gate, and two green figures entering under it.

"You don't suppose..." Mard posited, not needing to finish for Ahmoa to pick up the meaning; the two Tesarans from the Red Star.

The crimson guard frowned, trying to reason out the situation. "No harm in making ourselves known, we're meant to be here after all." He cupped his hands around his mouth. "AHOY! Travellers! Come to train? Spar?"

The two Glatorian still didn't rub Mard right, but playing the friendly proprietors couldn't hurt. "There's an entry fee, y'know!"

IC: Skyra Daring - Streets of Atero  -

Skyra's normally cool demeanor was tested as Del gave her a sudden hug, she sputtered for a second, not sure how to respond as she was pulled closer to Del as he wrapped his arm around her. P-People were gonna get the wrong idea! 

"T-Thanks Del..." Skyra finally got her voice back, her heart beating with embarrassment. "...I don't want to fight either...let's go!" 

The buggy began to pull away from the Inn and started going down the road. Seeing Karak following, she began to accelerate faster as they got out of the city and into the sandy dunes. 

One thing became apparent to Del (And possibly Karak), Skyra liked to sing. A lot. 

One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you, only sweeter"
One night, yeah and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"See, he tastes like you, only sweeteeeeer"~

Thankfully for their ears, Skyra could actually carry a tune, she was shocking good at singing in fact. Skyra had stopped singing for a moment to chug a canteen of water as they drove parallel to Skrall river. 

But we are alive
Here in death valley
But don't take love off the table yet
'Cause tonight
It's just fire alarms and losing you
We love a lot
So, we only lose a little
But we are aliveeee~

"So, funny story." Skyra said suddenly. She would switch from singing and talking on a dime. "My parents were killed by Wasterlanders when I was just a babe, so I never got to know them. I ended up being raised by a bunch of uncles, they were a traveling band. They taught me both an appreciation for driving and music. Unfortunately they all died in an explosion but such is life." Skyra shrugged. "But anyway, I sing their songs as a way to remember them." 

Take a knife and cut through the darkness
Castle temp, red wine
But I make no plans and none can be broken
No plans and none can be broken
Remember us just like this forever
But this can't last, won't last
So make no plans and none can be broken
No plans and none can be broken

Do you laugh about me whenever I leave?
Or do I just need more therapy?

Love is in the air
I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams
But it was all a fake out
And I don't care
I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams
But it was all a fake out, fake out~

"Ah, yes, that was the name," she said with a forced chuckle. "And well, some Glatorian fight for the highest bidder, not for their tribe. But I am glad to hear you're loyal to your people! There are more important things in life than money, after all."

She glanced at the Agori next to Vraek. "And uh, is this an assistant of yours? Or a fan, perhaps?"

IC: Tueris (Staff NPC; The Long Road to Ferrum)

Tueris looked upon the company with something akin to disappointment; some were younger than others, but all could have had many years ahead of them. Still, he could not accomplish this alone. The die was cast.

"Hmph. Very well then – I'll tell you what little we know, so that you are, at least, prepared."

His good eye narrowed.

"Ferrum has been out of contact for just over two weeks. In that time, rumours have begun to spread, all of them unsubstantiated; however, information from the Bone Hunters suggests that a plague may have descended upon the village. We know neither the symptoms nor the means of transmission, only that the population has – allegedly – been decimated. Somnii is believed dead.

"This is not an aid mission; our purpose is reconnaissance. We are scouts. It is our job to learn the truth of what has transpired in Ferrum, and if there truly is a plague, to identify how much of a threat it poses to the rest of the Wastelands.

"Unsurprisingly, this is a time-sensitive task. For that reason, we are travelling directly through Iron Canyon. The journey will take a day and a night, accounting for a rest to avoid the height of the day. We are leaving before dawn in order to make a stop in Precipere; with any luck, the people of the Ash Tribe may already know what has become of their neighbours. At the very least, they are likely to know more than we do.

"Are there any questions before we depart?"

"I know we just had the whole 'are you prepared to die' conversation, but are we taking any precautions for if this is a plague?" Gayle asked. Obviously she had no desire to catch whatever had wiped out an entire village so swiftly they couldn't even get word out, but the mission itself was doomed for failure if they all got sick and couldn't report their findings back to Vulcanus.

With the conflict seemingly resolved, at least for now, Skrall silently aided his companions in preparing the carts and stowing supplies for the journey ahead. True to his earlier remark, he made sure to clamber onto the chariot where the prisoner wasn't when they set out.

IC: Tueris (Staff NPC; The Long Road to Ferrum)

"I presume we all have some manner of face coverings for sandstorms; if it's in the air, those should hopefully be sufficient. Try to avoid touching anything in the village, and do not drink their water – my pack has enough supplies to get us there and back. And if worst comes to worst…"

Tueris reached into his pack, and removed the strange headset. "I will be wearing this when we enter the village. It's some new Celtech gizmo, like an audiovisual telegram. It sees what I see, and sends it back to Raanu."

The way he said 'audiovisual' made it quite clear that the wording was not his own; frankly, the specifics of the device were lost on him, but Raanu seemed confident that it would work.

"If we can't report back, it will report back for us."

He slung the haft of his axe across one shoulder, and rubbed a hand across his chin.

"Your appraisal of our chances of success—I take it we're worried about more than just a plague here,"

"But that makes little difference. I have no questions."

IC: Lutenus (Outskirts of Atero, Training Ground) - I’d Rather Let the Machine Fight for Me

“Funny you should say that - oh, one moment.” Lutenus’ response to Lorqua was cut off by the ground’s staff hailing them… the very same Agori who were accompanying the enigmatic Iron Glatorian back at the Red Star Inn. They were asking for payment.

“Yes, of course.” Lutenus fished coins out of his pocket. “How much to rent a space for two for…” His cyborg eye whirred around in his socket as he contemplated how much time they’d stay there. “Ooh, let’s say, an hour or so?”

IC: Karak - Something In The Way

Our machines carry us away from the limits of this city, dust kicking up from our acceleration. The sand bites at the metal of my mask - Huracan mercifully provides protection for the rest of my body from the elements. 

Riding onwards, my eyes fall to Skyra's machine. Huracan's throaty growl dulls after some time. My mind wanders.

These beings, they sit like grazing animals. They bicker over scraps - and yet a plague lays dormant at their doorstep. A bubbling volcano that will erupt, choke, and burn them all to death. They will not survive the Skrall.

My people didn't. 

I have long since trained my mind to destroy thoughts of home. The sadness is already too much to bear, but the despair is more dangerous. If I let despair set in, I will be stopped dead in my tracks. I will be paralysed.

Despair is a disease - and so instead I side with anger. For what else can truly be my ally, in a place like this?

“Quite the spectacle, innit?” Avinus said, falling into step beside the younger Glatorian, “All this for five minutes of fightin'."

IC: Luka — Streets of Tajun

“Yeah, it’s incredi-”

The last syllable caught in Luka’s throat as he turned to look at the newcomer, and he nearly stumbled. In a bid to keep his cool, he gulped down a breath of air. He recognized the Tajun Glatorian: it was the Rooftop Lady herself! Of course, Luka had been so green that he never even learned the warrior’s name. But he remembered many of the visits though Tajun’s many neighborhoods. It was common for Luka to see rookies and veterans training outside—he had even picked up parts of certain moves simply by inconspicuously analyzing them as he strolled down the streets of Tajun.

Out of all the warriors, the Rooftop Lady had stood out to him the most—her elevation almost seeming like a pedestal whenever Luka saw her train.

Luka quickly tried to regain his nerve. He prayed that he was not making some dumb face right now.

“I’ve looked up to you! I mean, I’ve looked up at you—on the rooftop, uh, while passing by. I mean—”, the words tumbled out like a toppled water barrel that would definitely get some poor Tajun worker fired (or worse). Luka inexplicably persisted, “It’s good to see a fellow warrior. I’m, uh, Luka!”

There. His name was out there. Was that so hard?

IC: Avinus - Tajun Streets

"Nice to meet ya, Luka," she said, smirking slightly at his surprise, "I'm Avinus." 

She'd made and met plenty of fans over the years, so Luka's awkward enthusiasm wasn't new to her. But most people talked about her fights in the arena, not her rooftop training regimen. If he was being similarly observant with other Glatorian training around Tajun, then this kid was definitely going places. 

"This your first tournament?" She asked.

IC: Del - Leaving Atero

On 3/31/2023 at 6:27 AM, Snelly said:

"My parents were killed by Wasterlanders when I was just a babe, so I never got to know them."

You'll be like a babe out there.

Skyra's story, or at least the formative meaning of it in her life, did not make it through the bastion of Del's cooling helmet. To the Iron Glatorian it was a dry recounting, and nothing more.

When the driver started singing, Del's head turned on a slow swivel to the series of sounds stemming from Skyra. There was meaning in the words, but abstracted from the now. This was not conversation as they had learned over the last few weeks.

But there was a sense to it. A sensation.

<<Analysing scenario.>>

<<Skyra Daring the best driver vocal sequence unknown. Imparting no pertinent information.>>

But you’re smart, you’ll learn.

<<Vocal sequence may not be designed for such purpose. Purpose of intonation unknown. Purpose of cadence unknown. Vocal sequence purpose unknown. Processor stimulus derived from vocal sequence. Processor stimulus derived from vocal sequence may be purpose of vocal sequence. Continue analysis. Participate.>>

Quietly, almost hesitantly, Del started trying to follow along with Skyra's singing; not knowing the words, they accompanied her with basic "la-la-la" vocalisations and tried to match the rhythm and melody she produced. With little knowledge of music theory it was largely guesswork, occasionally going off in wildly different directions to the actual song. They turned their gaze away from Skyra and out the side window, towards a brooding Karak who could scarcely hear the two over the roar of his Huracan's engine.

 

IC: Mard & Ahmoa - Training Ground, outskirts of Atero

“How much to rent a space for two for… Ooh, let’s say, an hour or so?”

Phew, they won't be here long, the green guard thought, and he was sure his partner was thinking the same. Mard threw a thumb towards a sign by the gate with rental pricing for the grounds; one hour, a day pass, and accommodation in the bunk house with facilities use bundled in. Unluckily for these visitors, they'd arrived just shy of the Grand Tournament discounts being applied.

"You're welcome to utilise the dummies at any time. If you wish to spar in our training ring, you must inform us so we may serve as referee to your bout." Ahmoa stated sternly. "Training weapons and Thornax may also be supplied on request." He was still wary of the pair and their interest in Del. Everyone's interest in Del. What happened to Ferrum? He asked himself again, and he was sure his partner was thinking the same.

IC: Lorqua - Training Ground, outskirts of Atero

Lorqua continued her stretching as Lutenus spoke to the Agori. The proprietors, apparently, of the training ground. Lutenus, perceptive as he was, had to have noticed who they were. Good things really did come to who waited apparently, with a captive audience to any questions they might have dropped into their lap. With this kind of opportunity, even she could wait a little longer.

"I could use a couple of blunted javelins," She offered with a wry smile. "I think we'll be wanting one of you to referee as well, seems we're wanting a proper tournament-style bout today."

With a sound of metal sliding against metal, Lorqua extended her forearm behind her head, in a stretch not quite possible for anyone else.

"I won't be needing any Thornax, but, Lutenus?" She inclined her head towards her companion, letting the question hang in the air.

IC: Skrall - Roxtus

Seeing the pile of supplies to be loaded had dwindled down to almost nothing, Skrall placed his own last crate on the cart. Then, he climbed up and on-board. He sat somewhere that would offer a good view of the desert as it panned past, and gave an unbecomingly-excited smile to any of his fellows who were watching.

IC: Tueris (Staff NPC; The Long Road to Ferrum)

"Don't Ferrumites warn their kids about Iron Canyon?" Tueris shook his head.

"No vehicles; we're moving on foot. The canyon gets pretty tight, and – more importantly – we can't risk the vibrations."

IC: Gayle - Vulcanus Arena

3 hours ago, a goose said:

"-we're moving on foot."

In her many misadventures, Gayle had been a slave of Bone Hunters, fallen right into the middle of a Zesk nest, and rounded a canyon's corner to find herself face-to-face with a starving Skopio... but nothing had destroyed her confidence quite as quickly as those four simple words had.

Vibrations weren't much of a concern when her Cendox allowed her to outrun or outgun anything large and hungry that came calling. Without it, the one edge she had with this group was gone. In her experience, the key to surviving a journey through a dangerous canyon was being faster than at least one other person... and unless one of these Glatorian was hiding a limp, being the lone Agori in the group meant she was almost certainly going to be the slowest.

She said nothing, focusing wholly on trying to conceal her unease. 

She'd already committed to the mission.

She wasn't going to quit before they'd even started.

IC: Lutenus (Outskirts of Atero, Training Ground) - The Fruit of Our Labour

“No need, I carry my own.” Lutenus held up his Thornax Launcher. “I would like a blunted axe or axe-equivalent, if you have any.”

One didn’t need a cybernetic ocular prosthesis to see that these two Agori were afraid of them. No doubt something to do with that Iron Glatorian… or was it backwards superstition concerning his mechanical enhancements? He had not replaced his muscles - YET - so what was the problem, exactly?

His cyber eye slowly looked over Mard and Ahmoa, making a faint clicking and whirring noise as it did so. Lutenus’ expression remained neutral.

IC: Vraek (Streets of Atero) - Clear as Crystal

“You practise the art of crystal, you say? Did you craft that mask yourself?” Vraek asked, referring to Xani’s crystalline mask. “It’s… rather well done.” She was tempted to ask how much it cost to get one for herself, but if Xani wasn’t the crafter, that would be pointless.

Besides - it would be far too garish and impractical in the arena.

IC/ Skrall/ Rocky Road out of Roxtus

 

They left Roxtus’ gates behind them, the convoy moving in relative quiet. Skrall felt tense. It was irrational, this close to home. But there was something about leaving the fort after being inside for a while plus the excitement and anticipation that made it seem every possible threat from the badlands was waiting just outside, ready to devour them. It took a few minutes to get calibrated to the actual reality again. She didn’t let it show and kept an easy hold on the Spikit reins, while constantly scanning the environment ahead. She kept that up to the end of her shift. Then it was her turn to rest. She sat down across from their passenger, taking a sip from her canteen.

 

Minutes and miles passed in silence.

 

Who knew how long it was before he noticed she was studying him again. No particular expression on her face.

 

“Why’d you do it?”

 

A beat.

 

"You stood up for your shield. Outnumbered."

 

"You’re no coward. So, why?"

IC: Skrall (The Caravan)

Skrall cast his eyes over to the prisoner, awaiting his response with no small amount of curiosity.

IC: Somnii (Bone Hunter Stronghold; Somnii's Cell)

She was preparing a witty retort when she noticed the arrival of the Skrall slave – not exactly something she had expected to see. She looked back to Taldrix.

"You guys conquer the North while I wasn't looking?"

IC: Skrall [Trail, Roxtus ->Bone Hunter Stronghold]

Skrall scoffed, not giving the captor the satisfaction of looking him in the eye. He was focused on the cloudless blue above them.

"There is no 'why' - they did not listen, and neither will you. There is no act you speak of, no choice was made. I have no answer."
