u Ein Kebiau Cornelia Plains - Forest Valley The land slopes gently downwards as the trees rise and Ein begins to realize as he ventures deeper and deeper that this forest must be much older than it seems. Already the warm sunlight is dimmed by the sheer density of the canopy of branches, and while the forest floor is oddly free of most vegetation, there is still a sense of overgrowth, of something truly ancient in this place. He might spot them glinting in a wayward beam of golden light or he might catch them as they crunch beneath his boots, but Ein eventually discovers a scattering of crystal shards over the forest floor. They lay there, twinkling in the rare strands of sunlight to make it this far to the forest floor, a spray of them scattered, as though some sort of larger crystal was smashed with great force to send pieces of it flying... Another crunch, the noise is very audible in the forest every time he moves, or perhaps... Is he sure that he's the one making that noise..? u Zwei Kebiau Mirage Sandsea - City of dust Shades of figures drift in and out of the sand around her, so like phantoms that they must be mirages as well, and yet something about them tingles at her senses, a presence that goes beyond that of an apparition... Still, they do not move any closer to her, and even shy away should she try to move closer to them. She could try to chase one down, but despite that sense, she cannot deny that if they do turn out to be phantoms after all she will be quite the fool for trying to pursue them. By now, Zwei cannot see anything but the tips of the mountains behind her, as the rest is obscured by the swirling sands, but ahead ruins start to take shape, and as they grow more solid as she draws closer she can conclude that these are not any sort of mirage. Slowly the desert gives way to cracked and broken streets and ancient crumbled buildings, sides and corners piled high with heaps of sand. The footing is inconsistent, and there is a worry of sinkholes about, but there is also a worry of others, for now, while she can no longer see the phantom figures drifting in and out of her vision, she can certainly hear sounds echoing towards her, bouncing off the stone, a man and a woman, shouting at each other, though Zwei can make out no words. Or perhaps there are no words to make out, for she realizes also that she can faintly hear the ring of metal on stone underlying the sounds... u Neinau Melmond Fens - Southern Foothills As Neina made her way towards the foothills the air cooled, as though -rather than walking on relatively flat ground- she was slowly ascending into a mountain. However, despite that, the wind seemed to drop away as she walked, and while the cold that replaced it was not pleasant, it did not cut so deeply as it had before... As she slowly began to climb into the foothills, the source of the cooling became apparent as the fat grey clouds drifted close overhead. There was a forest ahead, and as she crested the foothills to get a better view, it became quite apparent that the clouds were steadily covering it in snow. It was not deep at the moment, a mere half-foot at most, but it was growing deeper as fat white flakes fell from the sky. Before she could turn back though, Neina felt a pull on something within her, a beckoning, and a woman's voice whispered in her mind, along with flickering images of a face, blue skin, and entirely too many limbs... Seek me if you dare summoner... It felt like memory, and yet there was a resonance from that fragment of a past to this piece of a presence. Something was in that snowy forest, something that called to Neina on some innate level...
