EVENT | LANDFALL | KITHIKA | DRAGON
Characters: ALL!
Date: February 12th - 28th
Location: Keeliai
Situation: The discovery of an artifact from the first war against Malicant reveals the land of Kithika within a dimension of the Death Plane... and just happens to be contained inside a bottle.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.
OOC INFORMATION ♦ CITY OF KEELIAI ♦ INSIDE THE BOTTLE ♦ THE WORLD EATER
For nearly two days the brave quest takers have been sequestered at the sullied Temple and its grounds, the thick jungle and swamp preventing them from leaving. There are faint tremors that run through the ground and in the middle of the third night, the ground gives a great heave, jostling everyone from their rested states. In one of the Temple rooms, a sinkhole has appeared to reveal not spongy ground beneath, but a dark tunnel leading down into the earth. It doesn't take much to widen the entrance and follow the gentle downward slope that leads out to the north, and a walk of about two hours (which surely would feel like longer to those who don't enjoy being trapped in low, dank places) leads them under the swamp itself. By the time the tunnel slopes upward, the muddy ground has turned hard and packed with small chips of rock and sand; the terrain above is changing and as they emerge upward through a fissure in the ground...

OOC NOTE: The Aftermath comment will be unfrozen and its direction posted on February 23rd, based on the outcome of the other threads.

Finding her way back to the fighting was not hard, but Sabriel stopped every so often- just long enough leave behind a charter light on the ground to mark her path.
When she finally reached the dragon, she threw the water on the first pustule she could reach- and gasped at what she saw underneath the corruption.
Turning back the way she came, she grabbed the wrist of the first person she could find.
"Come with me- I think there's another way to do this!"
no subject
It wouldn't be surprising if she did not recognize him at first-- Armin was covered head-to-toe in muck and mud; even his blonde hair looked dingy and brown from the dirt. But he began to approach her as he noticed her carrying an odd jug, looking at an unusually colorful and clean patch of ground in front of her.
What was that? As soon as he realized that the ground they walked on was one giant, living being, he was doing his best to make sure it died. Those monsters that erupted from the boils he cut open were attacking them, after all. Nothing good could possibly come from letting it live... Right?
"What's going on? What are you doing?"
no subject
Without a warning, Sabriel grabbed his wrist, dragging him in the direction she'd come, trying to explain further as she went.
"I think there's still some traces of what this place was, before it was corrupted- there's a pool some distance from here, with water that can cleanse whatever's wrong with this place!"

Armin grows quiet for a moment to sort of his thoughts, then speaks up again.
"Are you willing to take responsibility for what might happen?"

Armin's trust does not come lightly, but he decides to put it in Sabriel. She's proven her wise nature to him before.
"So I'm guessing we have to collect water from this special pool you found, and pour it on the boils to clean the dragon?"
no subject
we do not wash our pits in the pool of sacred tears :|
The spring is the one clean thing he had seen in days, and while he's very tempted to wash his hands and face in it, he feels that it would be disrespectful somehow.
"Must we use the jugs, or can we work out some other way of moving the water?"
They'd need a lot of people working together to make this an efficient process. Alone, it could take days to clean the corruption.
no subject
"According to them, the jugs are the only way to preserve the water's cleansing properties long enough to get it to the dragon," With that, Sabriel dipped her jug into the water, filling it as much as she dared. "Come on- we don't have an unlimited amount of time."
no subject
"Should we try and get the word out to others?" He asks between breaths, pausing momentarily to pull his foot out of a sink of mud, "This can't be a job for just two people. Do you know any sort of... I don't know, communication magic?"
no subject
no subject
The first pustule he gets a chance to use the water on he stops to examine more closely. Just as it had with Sabriel, the blackness melts away to reveal a shimmering, colorful skin covered in what looks like feathers. It's warm and wriggling to the touch.
"How massive is this dragon?" he murmurs mostly to himself. It easily dwarfs a Colossal Titan; the sheer size of it baffles Armin.
no subject
"Hurry- we'll need to cure as many of those boils as we can, as quickly as possible."
