Arriving in Kithika is unpleasant for the most part. Transport through the glass vessel deposits you in the middle of a thick and murky swamp, with air so hot and humid it feels as though one is breathing through a wet towel. This is a place of perpetual night and there are no celestial bodies visible overhead through the twisted vines to break up the blackness, making the only light visible that which comes clumps of marsh fungus that emit a steady glow in a variety of muted colours: pale blue, whitish green, watery mauve. The only other light comes from those who can generate it themselves and that will reveal numerous broad-leaved trees, in some places standing too thick to move through. Below, knee-deep water laps in swirls at their legs, accompanied by the occasional slithery feel of something moving in the bracken against wet limbs, gone before it can be identified. A variety of strange noises from creatures of the swamp fill the air with buzzing and hoarse croaking, interrupted by the screech of mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds darting past and hungry for a meal.

OOC NOTE: Characters will not be able to progress past the Temple and the Grounds for 48 IC hours after which point, the way to continue onward to find the dragon will be discovered. The second log will be posted on the 17th, to help spread out the tagging. Thank you!

Oh, your father is an alien! Is it very difficult for an alien to make an egg with a human? Only, the books I have read here seem to think so.

[At which point he cheerfully turns his attention to their surroundings.] Do the books also say what sort of place this is? If the plants were trying so very hard to keep us from coming through the swamp, it stands to reason there must be something important here.
shorttempered: ([Inv] Uuuuhhhhh)

Uh, both parents have babies the mammal way--[Motions around his stomach like he's pregnant.]--but yeah. The DNA is similar.

Not specifically? This is definitely a temple of some sort, but they do usually mention the scenery out to get them. Whatever's at the end of this bottle really doesn't want us to get to it.
dracobin: (uncertain)

[An uneasy sound.] Sun Tzu would have called it entangling ground: the sort that, once abandoned, is not easily returned to. If there is a trap awaiting us and we must retreat, the return trip to Keeliai will be difficult on this terrain.
shorttempered: ([Inv] Staring down Cecil)

True, but... I don't know about you, but the idea of facing an unbeatable enemy never stopped me from moving forward before.
dracobin: (dubious)

Oh, I was not saying I was frightened! I am sure we will be able to fight whatever is waiting for us here!

[He sits up a little straighter, as if to prove his point about his confidence.]

It is only that the swamp was very annoying, and I should not like to have to go through it again.
shorttempered: ([Inv] Ooooh that Robot)

Oh, I didn't think you were! [Truth be told he didn't think giant dragons could get scared.]

And if this is anything like a fantasy novel, it should all turn into rainbows and beautiful forests after we beat the big bad, so you shouldn't have to.
