She appears above a bit of frozen wasteland. She falls, conscious but without making a peep, to the ground, and breaks a few more bones.
She lies there.
She appears above a bit of frozen wasteland. She falls, conscious but without making a peep, to the ground, and breaks a few more bones.
She lies there.
She nods, looks thoughtful. "All right, I think I am willing to take the risk. Do I just tell you my name?"
"- I guess I should pick a nickname too, since people in your world do that. Umm, I'll be Leaf." It's not that creative but it'll do.
Promise mulls over what to tell the Tayledras. Eventually tells Leareth she should go talk to them since they're waiting on her.
"All right." And Leareth gets a map and then ushers Promise up the narrow winding staircase all the way to the surface. There's a heavy door which opens into the back of an overhang at the top of a cliff, invisible from most angles. They're about halfway up into the Ice Wall Mountains, on the northern face; it's windy and frigid.
Leareth unfolds the map and shows her the relative locations of the two sites, squinting against the wind. "...Can you fly in this weather - will you be cold?"
The mountains are very pretty, despite being freezing cold. The ground falls out from below her, flattens out, and then becomes very boring tundra, stretching out for hundreds of miles ahead.
It's not as nice as a Fairyland landscape, even a winter one, but it's all right. It's nice to stretch her wings. Zoom zoom zoom.
The half-excavated wreckage is right there where they left it. Most of the Tayledras seem to have departed back to the Pelagirs; there's one small, lonely-looking tent still pitched on the nearest intact ground.
The Healing-Adept from before emerges. "Yes– oh, it is you." She ducks her head. "What do you need?"
"I don't think there exists a way for me to get to the Moonpaths as needed without Leareth along. Is there another way the Star-Eyed can send a representative?"
"I have been considering the matter. If you are willing to travel to the edge of Her territory by the Pelagirs, or to set up a shrine to Her here, then the leshya'e Kal'enedral can manifest physically if you call to Her and ask that one of them be sent."
